    Naughty Dog has done it again, this game makes you do things with characters you DO NOT want to do, I respect that. This game has balls, it is getting unwarranted hate from players who haven't either do not like storytelling where there are consequences to previous actions or don't like video games. I will not spoil this game, please play it and review it FAIRLY, and not with hate glasses on.

    One of the worst sequel from a one of the best original story driving game, only driven by one way nonsense violence, with no choices or either reflection on its meaning; only to promote an agenda of a twisted naughty dev. In a story driving game, story matters and must stand on its own prequel and not spitting on it. Thanks to N.Druckman.

    Neil Druckmann got handed the best of stories on a pristine, shining silver platter.
    This game is subversively bad. All character development present within the main characters from the past title seems to have slipped away from the grasp of the writers as the colossal failure that is The Last of Us II attempts to push a deep and engaging plot with a dark tone, when it comes off as    Neil Druckmann got handed the best of stories on a pristine, shining silver platter.
    This game is subversively bad. All character development present within the main characters from the past title seems to have slipped away from the grasp of the writers as the colossal failure that is The Last of Us II attempts to push a deep and engaging plot with a dark tone, when it comes off as nothing more than pretentious. There is absolutely no subtlety in its writing as it pushes its message in your face, spoon feeding it to you by artificially creating impact on the story with mindless carnage. By the time you're near the final hours of the game nothing fazes you anymore. The message was already conveyed long ago and it, personally, didn't mean anything to me when I finished the game. When the credits rolled, I sat there on my couch, saddened. Not by the events of the story, but rather by the wasted potential of this sequel. Something that could've been, but never did. The only thing that was redeemable about this was the graphics, which was already expected from a PS4 game, a console at the end of its life-cycle thus optimized to hell. I wasn't a particular super fan of this series, and to those who were... I can only offer you all my sincere condolences.    … Expand

    what can I say except skip this one lied about the game paid off reviewers and made it political this game is a dumpster fire. It is a shame how you took a good story and proceeded take a dump on a overall good story and well thought out characters. I'd say the person head of this game needs to be let go for lettings this get through to the fans.

    How could you ruin the story like this? I won't spoil but this feels like bad fanfiction written by a 12 year old. The characters are one dimensional.

    I played the entire game in one sitting, and it was so bad that I feel worse about the time i lost than the money. The story felt very jumbled, the AI was horrible, the game play was clunky, and the lag was unbearable. After the first game, this sequel is a complete disappointment. Honestly, I wish the game ended by it all being a dream.

    too many plots hole in the story, the story is blank and depressing. Character deconstructed throughout the story. No meaningful ending.

    I'm actually quite speechless. When you compare TLOU2 with TLOU1, you will quickly notice, how garbage TLOU2 is. How in the world, can a story like this get through development? Do you guys even know where your core-audience is? What they want? I don't really think you do. You guys literally ruined everything, what the previous part build upon.
    My reason for giving at least 2/10 is that    I'm actually quite speechless. When you compare TLOU2 with TLOU1, you will quickly notice, how garbage TLOU2 is.

    Loved the first game. Have given up after the first 8-9 hours on the second. It's nothing but a celebration of absolute depression and ultra-violence. Awful story. Characters that you hate.

    This game is a big slap to a face of every single fan of the first game. Its a waste of amazing soundtrack, waste of acting, waste of amazing characters made in first game, waste of designers and people who have put a lot of hours of work into this game, everything i mentioned is ruined because of terrible story.

    Garbage story coupled with the fact the game is choking in political correctness and the player is completely unable to relate to any of the characters on a deeper level. The graphics are great, as expected for a long anticipated title. Naughty Dog is also paying for fake reviews.

    The story is very bad. And the ending was worse than Fallout 76 launch. And I if there is a sequel in the minds of the devs. DONT MAKE IT. Give it to the devs of the METRO franchise.

    The story is mediocre and cheap. Possibilities were endless but they picked a route that added up nothing to the overall world of TLoU and the characters we love so much. It's best to forget this game ever released and to pretend that the original game has no sequel.

    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]
