    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The people saying that the bad reviews are from people who haven't played it yet are wrong and it 's the opposite. If you noticed, every positive review is along the lines of "I don't understand the hate. I'm 2 hours in and I'm loving it." The reason for so many dislikes is because the second half of the game is all based on an unlikeable character that feels like torture. It's so incredibly boring followed by one of the worst endings I've ever seen. The ending might appeal to some with a message of forgiveness but that's not what we came here for.

    The game is literally called "The Last of Us PART 2" implying it's connected to the first game. Spending half the game as a character many dislike just to let them get away is awful. You don't play Super Mario Bros expecting a goomba to be the main character. That doesn't make it edgy or unique, it just makes it silly and against what the fans wanted. Imagine the goomba beating the crap out of Mario's family and Mario goes for revenge. Mario finally catches him and lets him go. I don't see how any message can be that powerful especially when it wasn't enforced enough for it to make sense.    … Expand

    This game is not just simply bad, datet, has a horrible story, bland characters that you cannot connect with in any level as their decisions will make you want to retire your ps early. It goes so far to commit the greatest of all sins a video game can ever do: it is simply BORING.

    Gameplay is good
    Everything else is trash
    Unnecessary nudity and unrealistic story
    It was all for nothing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, no, im not a "-phobic", or a "-cist" for not liking the game. Abby could've been a straight male, female, black, white, indian or asian character. But its still the worst character idea ever. Do you think political or moral opinions are worthy in an apocalyptic world? No! Im playing a videogame about surviving in a world filled with infecteds, not a Lesbian Girl with Bipolar Disorder Simulator. Joel, one of the most iconic characters ever... nobody wants to play as him right? Of course not! We waited 7 years just to see him die in the coldest way possible! And we don't even get a revenge! We go with the need of killing Abby, but save Abby for a few seconds, then ask Abby to fight or we kill Abby's buddy, we get an unnecessary fight and right before killing Abby, boom : Bipolar Disorder, and we let Abby escape. We even lose 2 fingers against Abby like what the actual f-. Anyways, i don't feel bad for it. Joel wasn't even Joel anymore. He went from a clever grown man strong enough to take care of an entire army to the typical resentful dad that did something to his kid and falls on any scam. Thats the main reason of why he died. Graphics are shocking and all, the sounds are orgasmic and thr gameplay is still frenetic, but the story was written by a group of monkeys, and the leader was some LGBT or SJW representative...that was also a monkey. Playing as Abby didn't make me or anybody else sympathize with her/him. This game tried way too hard to be "politically correct" and the critic reviews also do. People is just afraid to review anything below 70 just because they will be called "Transphobic males". Pretty much all i had to say. I watched xQc livestreaming this game. 60$ saved easy.… Expand

    sorry excuse of a story sequel.
    gameplay is unchanged from TLOU1. boring.
    looks good, but if the sorry is bad in a story-driven game what is even the point.

    Oh boy. There is so much unnecessary unfitting brutality in this game I do not even have words for. It is like we get it.

    Of course I’ll give it a zero, scoring this game a full %100 is more ridiculous than giving it a zero, believe me. And since when do you game-critics-people care about a game looking good: CGI’s, game animations and mechanics? Well, if you do, then you should go and apologize to some that you buried alive like The Order: 1886, some Assassins Creeds, and many more.

    What separates gaming    Of course I’ll give it a zero, scoring this game a full %100 is more ridiculous than giving it a zero, believe me.

Well, if you do, then you should go and apologize to some that you buried alive like The Order: 1886, some Assassins Creeds, and many more.

    What separates gaming from all the other consumable entertainment medias, or arts, whichever you want to see it, is THE story. We are investing hours and hours our time and interacting like no other media allows us to. Whether it was an 8-bit adventure game or some top notch million dollar adventure, what makes a game, a good game is the feeling that leaves IN you for the rest of your life. Whether good or bad, it leaves you “feeling” something, cause it’s a genuine experience. I feel betrayed, we all feel betrayed. Not just because “some stuff” that’s happening in the game. Mainly, because this game has no heart, soul, nor purpose. I feel betrayed because this game is empty...It is empty because it’s phony.

    If you want to be brave and innovative, as you think you are, be honest. Don’t manipulate your trailers, don’t ban certain elements under the term “spoiler” that surely be criticized by consumers, so that people can’t talk or review beforehand. If you want to be brave, play with your cards open, don’t be insidious.

    And don’t call it a sequel if it’s core is created by last minute added-up, not so bright ideas of yours that’s rude to it’s predecessor. I’m not talking about giving a fan service, I hate that. But, you can’t just insult your previous work like this.

    This is what happens when you pump certain “developers” ego in a wrong way, put them in a certain important positions that make them feel like they’re a real time genius superhero, who can getaway with anything (feeling so important that you put yourself in game as an Easter egg, with a %100 brains)...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately, this game is a travesty. I wanted to come in and enjoy my time with Ellie and Joel, I wanted to experience the world after Joel doomed the human race by killing the surgeon and saving Ellie, making the hard choice that his own personal needs and desires were more important to him than the survival of humanity. I really wanted to experience that aftermath, to live in that moment and feel guilt for my actions in Part One.
    I didn't get to. I got to experience Joel act completely out of character and die because suddenly, out of nowhere, our hardened father figure is naive. I was forced to watch as the life drained from this monster of a man, and then go on a journey of revenge. At least I'd get my revenge.
    Nope, I murder my way through the liberation front for a chance to kill Abby, the woman who killed Joel, only to suddenly be forced to watch her walk away, because suddenly, and without any narrative reason, Ellie decided that killing was bad.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
