    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Killing of former protagonists to form a bigger bund with the new protagonist is a really old and boring move.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is not just a bad game, because of his death - nah! Naughty Dog promised to much and delivered too less.

    Idiotic things happen all the time. This game clearly just lives because the first one was a highly praised game. A shame that this game sucked.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is absolutely horrendous. When the developers talked about this game in the beginning, it was going to be about Joel and Ellie and their journey. What they meant by that was Joel has a horrid death and dies by an SJW garbage character named Abbie. The female characters in this game look very masculine and Abbie looks like a a steroid abusing bodybuilder with a head and voice of a female. Not to mention, the sex scene in this game just tops it all off with why you shouldn’t purchase this game. For gods sake, I was expecting there to be buttons to press during the scene. ‘X’ to thrust and ‘O’ to pull out. They ruined this game with the god awful plot.… Expand

    story trash. Conbat and gameplay overall is good. Not enough ways to do a mission like other games give you. Just two thing kill or wait forever to let people go by. No set up for traps or other ways to kill enemy or anything

    The bullying, leaks, graphics that seem to PS3, errors, bugs, the forced inclusion of various elements makes it more than frustrating and disappointing. not even on the heels of the first

    They took a universe that people fell in love with thanks to the characters and their relationships, and just decided to make a sequel that relies on shock value to keep the player going on with the game, rather than simply telling a good story.

Don't get me wrong, you're allowed to make a depressing story and still have it be a good one, but this is definitely NOT the case. They butchered everything that got built in the past 7 years by a very passionate community just to subvert their expectations and get those few moments of shock, at the cost of murdering something so beloved by many. But on top of being so offensively unkind to long time fans, the game is also littered with awful writing, character interactions that make zero sense for a human, and honestly very boring sections of gameplay. When it comes to the "sjw" controversies, I believe that most people would agree in saying that representing LGBT+ people in a videogame isn't a problem (and also nothing new, if you played the first game). The real issue emerges when you do that, and use it as a scapegoat for all criticism, every negative opinion gets pushed aside without even thinking about it because "they're just mad about the lgbt characters".

    Technically speaking this game looks and sounds fantastic, among the very best I've ever witnessed on a console. But all of that hard work gets completely ruined by some truly awful decision making by the writers of the story. And since this game isn't self contained, it sadly manages to affect my memories of the first game, which I have loved dearly since 2013.

    Everybody, new fans, long time fans, should absolutely avoid this game because it will only affect you negatively and I really wish I could've known this before buying it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this game. I guess I understand why teh critics praised this game in the first place, and now you have people behaving furiously and leaving a negative review for a good reason.
    People are mad because what they've done with the story in this sequel. If this was a new IP, if this had nothing to do with The last of us in general, I think people might love this game for its interesting approach and never-seen-before content, I'd say now.
    But since this is a direct sequel to one of the, if not the best video-game of all time, or shall I just say "masterpiece" of a game, then you need to understand why thousand and thousand of people are extremely disappointed. Upset. Sad, even depressive.
    The graphics, the deep details, the environments, the cutscenes, everything looks top notch. Top quality. It seriously doesn't get any better than this.
    I think Naughty Dog has done a marvelous job regarding this job, my hat goes off to them, but it doesn't mean anything if the story is really, really bad which it is. Sadly it is. It's so bad it actually makes Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 looks like it's Ocarina of Time. It's just how bad the plot, the packing is. And this constantly switching to characters and the flashback scenes between Ellie and Joel.
    There's this one scene when Joel surprises Ellie for her birthday, where he took her to a Dinosaur museum. Just imagine how absolutely astonishing this sequel would've been if the focus was on Ellie and Joel with a whole different story.
    I don't mind Abby being there, what I do mind is ND pushing their political agenda in this game.
    If you loved The Last Jedi, Game of Thrones season 8, there's a big chance that you're going to appreciate this game.
    However, if you loved everything about the first The last of us, then there is no chance you are going to love, let even alone to "like" this game at all. Unless you buy everything ND related, then that's your own choice.
    However, I'm giving this game a 2 out of 10 just because of the beautiful graphics.
    The rest is just a sad, depressing, dark world of a video-game where it's forcing the player to do sadistic things. It's a nihilistic game.
    Save your 60$ and get Ghost of Tsushima instead.    … Expand

    In short, character developpement is catastrophic, plot justification are lacking, and for more than anything, the gameplay has barely evolved. The first one was so much better, in many sense.
    More than the weird feeling you get when the character you learned to love are displaying unfitting behaviors, its the general atmosphere of the game that failed to make feel attached to it.

    Storytelling is such an important part of how a game or a movie touches its audience, yet it seems to have been completely forgotten here. The character writing especially is somehow downgraded exponentially from the first opus, with potent character being written off like they got discarded at a casting, while other "new" empty character got a surprising amount of spotlight (not the good kind of surprise). This resulted in a most of the storylines and quests being meaningless and unexciting. And since this is supposed to be the heart of the game, that why I cannot give it a decent grade.

    I dont even care that the gameplay is just a loop of repetitive similar challenges and situation, for which you get bored after a couple of hours. Thats not even the point.
    The point is that a story telling game got so lost in social virtue that its own soty telling has been killed. I was looking forward for that game so much and end up givin this kind of review only a day after release. This game will stay an example of how incerting politics and social issues into games can destroy good story telling, and divide its fanbase.    … Expand

    Looked forward to playing this game once the trailer released. After playing the game for the entire day, I can say there is nothing wrong about the game. The music, the graphics and the game played are outstanding. However, the script of this game is just **** It is a game that I won’t play the second time.

    Elephant in the room: I went into this game, having read the spoilers/leaks, and FULLY expected to hate it. While the game definitely does have a brutal story, and does not allow us (as the player) to ever be comfortable, it is still an amazing achievement in gaming and story telling. The “woke” moments that so many felt were going to be forced, were not existent. Seriously.

While the game definitely does have a brutal story, and does not allow us (as the player) to ever be comfortable, it is still an amazing achievement in gaming and story telling. The “woke” moments that so many felt were going to be forced, were not existent. Seriously. One of the largest, and most “woke” parts of the leaks turned out to be completely false. If the game were exactly what the leaks led us to believe, then I would be standing with you, bashing Naughty Dog for turning on it’s audience.

    PLEASE do not think that you should skip the game because you read the leaks and were upset. Not all the information was accurate, and you would be doing yourself a massive disservice by missing this experience.

    My review:

    The game is genuinely incredible, and is a true predecessor to the original game that we all fell in love with. The gameplay has vastly improved and has updated with the times. TLOU, while incredible for it’s storytelling, was never the most groundbreaking gameplay experience. TLOU2 has taken the same DNA and made it far more tense, and fast paced. Add that to Naughty Dog’s largest maps ever, and you have a recipe for success. There are plenty of places to explore and most all, feel important. Whether it is a store that offers extra dialogue, or character building cut scenes; or a small abandoned enemy outpost that restocks you and sends you on a treasure hunt for a lost supply drop. Please make sure you note, that there is far more to do outside of the “on-rails” story.

    The graphics from a Naughty Dog game are always expected to be “Best-in-Class” level, and TLOU2 definitely does not ruin that expectation. I played the game with 4K with HDR, and it was beautiful. If you have a PlayStation 4 Pro, and a 4K HDR tv, this game is a must own for that experience alone. Finally the story. I am NOT going to give away any spoilers, so I am going to have to be a bit generic. The game is dark. There is never a moment to breathe. The sense of danger is always there for the characters, and the sense of dread is even more present. Naughty Dog knows what made the first game great, and dialed it up to 11. The new characters are not quite as memorable as Tess, Joel, or Ellie, but you will still find yourself caring for them through your care for Ellie. The story gets moving fairly quickly, and only picks up pace from there. Once I was about 6 hours in, I found myself looking around for collectibles less, just to see what happens next in the story.

    Overall, if you enjoyed the first game, then TLOU2 is a must play. The game is so much more that the leaks led us to believe. Do yourself the favor of playing this game.    … Expand

    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.
