    I am honestly so heartbroken. This game is so beautiful and fun to play. But that's it.
    The story is so horribly badly written I can't even understand why and how that happened?
    Self-inserting of the game devs was what shocked me the most. Do it in a fun way. But THIS?
    Disgusting.

    I wish I would have saved this money for something else.

    Visuellement ce jeu est magnifique , les infectes sont bien faits et l'ambientation aussi et puis le gameplay on peut dire qu'il est bien le problème c'est que c'est trop SJW déjà j'aime pas sa mais en plus il traite les personnages comme de la mrd si vous jouez ou vous avez vu les spoilers vous comprendrez pourquoi en résumé un jeu magnifique ruine par son histoire de merde.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Killing one of the few interesting characters and forcing you to play almost half of the game as the antagonist you despise is not how you make a good game. Quite boring and pointless story for a story driven game. Best pretend this sequel doesn't exist and savour the memories from last game.… Expand

    Incredible gameplay and graphics, an engaging story. Lots of improved story and character skins from the former, outstanding animations and AI, a very well done job and ready to make history

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A bunch of friends and I decided to buy one copy for all for all of us to take turns playing at one of our houses after hearing about the storyline. We couldn't believe a company would do what's been said on the net. We had to know for ourselves with as least cost possible
    I have to say, at least the game-play and control was decent, actually improved. Well except the button bashing X. What the heck, why is that a thing in 2020?
    The supporting game engine is impressive. The world is detailed and well done, if only there was continuity. Face animations are many times border line creepy though.
    But that's where the good of this game ends.
    FYI were only maybe half done with the game as I write this. The story from the original was absolutely destroyed! The main character Joel is killed off a early in the game, and none of the new characters are relatable. Ellie plots her vengeance on Joel's killer (Abby), but then you get stuck playing as Abby. What? Why?
    The narrative is forced, and poorly executed (so far)
    Who the heck was this meant for anyway? No one here really likes where this has gone. It pisses off pretty much everyone, including our 2 friends in the LGBTQ community.
    We get into these games for escapism from reality.
    Why do we need to be slapped in the face with an agenda, I personally find shoving in politics into an otherwise good escapism game *offensive*.
    It barely makes sense a lot of the time, there are scenes included that have no additive effect to be in here.
    Glad we didn't all spend money on this.

    Update: We are many hours into the game now. .. Nope We haven't changed our minds. It's only become more irritating. The game story does not flow well at all. One moment you're trying to save yourself by button bashing X, next your dropped into a cutscene. After the cutscene(s) you find yourself trying to figure out where the hell you are now and why. The puzzles are, well for the lack of fitting words... Uninspired. They feel like a child trying to make up a game for an adult with a "gotcha" The characters make me angry, You never get a decent back story you can connect with for (at least as far as we have gotten) for Abby. I loved the first game for how you can connect with the characters. Well we have a copy, so we will try to finish it out but.. I'm pretty sure that we all agree this is a MASSIVE letdown I just can't believe THIS game is what they came up with as a sequel to The Last of Us.    … Expand

    Never have I been more excited for a game when it was announced. Same studio working on it, Joel and Ellie back but more older and more mature, a darker storyline...everything seemed so perfect. How could you really screw that up ? but oh boy, screw it up they did, and royally.

Same studio working on it, Joel and Ellie back but more older and more mature, a darker storyline...everything seemed so perfect. How could you really screw that up ? but oh boy, screw it up they did, and royally.
    But let's start off with the positives - visually the game is fantastic. the voice acting, cutscenes and music are still top-notch. As a player, I could tell a lot of effort went into making these aspects fantastic. But even these part of the game come with a catch.
    the voice acting is great, but is delivered by some of the most unlikable, preachy and just downright bad characters I've seen in games. The game tries very hard to make you like these characters, to understand their perspective and why they are the way that they are, but this just doesn't work. The turn from " hate these guys" to "try to understand and love them" comes too late in the story to change the players' mind about the characters and even then, it' s like the writers knew they were running out of time in the story and try to push the likability on the player too much and too quickly. i was just bored and uninterested. The game is heavily focused on trying to switch your point of view on the events of the first game, as well. many deep questions like :" WHO' S REaLlY ThE BaD PEoPLe?!" are asked. the story is handled in such an amateur fashion I'm shocked it got any traction in the writers room at all. Many events, characters and moments from the first game are actively discarded and spit on.
    Visually the game is fantastic, but after 15 hours of the same "Small town with rusted cars and buildings" environments, it gets just a little obnoxious. the tall grass looks fantastic, but damn.
    the gameplay remains mostly unchanged from the first game, but small tweaks and refinements were made, I must admit. Nothing groundbreaking, but that's that.
    the only parts of the game I genuinely enjoyed were some of the flashback sequences with Joel and Ellie. specifically the museum section. it was touching, delightful, the dialogue had warmth, care and it was spoken by two well-developed characters who had a believable history with each other. once that scene ended, it was back to garbage.
    The game is also just a chore to finish, it drags in the last 6 hours and it's very hard to find motivation to keep going till the end.
    From a story perspective it's a complete mess. it looks very nice and plays okay, but visuals and stealth gameplay were not the elements i cared about in " the last of us". I cared about the story. And there' s just nothing here for me. bad characters, uninteresting story, boring scenarios...it' s devoid of any enjoyment.
    I won't be recommending this game to anyone I know and will be trying my darndest to completely forget this games existence.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very mediocre storyline, everything seems very forced.

    Joel's death was extremely forced and dumb, they could have developed a more complex or interesting storyline for Joel's death but no. He encounters some random people in the forest, gets in the basement of a random house and get killed, just like that, the main character from TLOU1 and probably the main character of TLOU franchise gets killed in the most dumb way. Then you play like half of the game with a character you never heard about and you really don't care.

    Then, you play with Ellie and the whole storyline about "I must revenge Joel's death but my wife doesn't want to so when I came back she was no longer at home" is extremely cliché.

    Oh and by the way, you play hours with Ellie just to finally find Abby and let her go, so you literally played all that for nothing.

    I really don't understand what Neil Druckmann was thinking    … Expand

    Tough to stomach story, and no likable characters. Felt like it was going for “woke” instead of a great game. I am a straight, white male and there’s nothing wrong with that, and I’m tired of every game and movie trying to say otherwise. I’d look past that if there was a good story there. There wasn’t.

I think seeing their perspective was supposed to make me feel for them but I honestly just spent the second half of the game wanting them dead. The ending felt daft too, like a big waste. Its not a 0 by any means but its not a 10 either. Also yes there is a bit of £representation" in the game but it doesn't really beat you over the head with it, much like the first game didn't (in fact there were a fair few people who didn't even realize it was in the first game).

Not with naughty dog, but with people unable to give something a chance because they are so blinded by politics and ideology, which is ironic because essentially this is a story about how you can be blinded by tribalism and revenge.

    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.
