    Pay no attention to idiots review bombing this game. None of them have played it. Their opinion is from YouTube videos that also know next to nothing about this game. The story is as good as the original game and if you liked that then you'll like this one. Only a single plot point from the leaks was accurate everything else is false

    The graphics are fantastic, the game has awesome immersion, the gameplay is serviceable, but the history is so bad it hurts.

    Of everything the game decided to do why wasn't playing some more golf with Abby an option? She seems to enjoy it so why not let Ellie show Abby how to play?

    The game doesn't deserve a 0, although I understand the effort to bomb this score. It also doesn't deserve reporters brushing off the bombing as disgruntled MRAs either, this game insulted the fanbase and they want their displeasure to be known.

It also doesn't deserve reporters brushing off the bombing as disgruntled MRAs either, this game insulted the fanbase and they want their displeasure to be known. To me, I give it a 2 because of everything it undid for LoA1's phenomenal ending. It took our beloved cast, spit on them, and delivered a shell of a game we really didn't ask for. Joel's mastery of survival is reduced to novice mistakes for plot contrivance. There's plot holes galore. Yes, their art team beautifully realizes a post-apocalyptic vision for America as we'd expect from Naughty Dog. I'd say the namely minimalist soundtrack mostly gets the job down, although it isn't quite as memorable as LoA1.

    In the end, it's ridiculous because they say that if you dislike this game, you must be an evil bigot! But no, Naughty Dog, you don't just get to say that as a shield to all criticism and shame on you for insulting our intelligence. No, gaming journalism, your protected games are not above criticism, especially the sequel to a beloved story.    … Expand

    Atrocious storyline, one dimensional characters with shallow motivations. Made for shock value, without regard to elevate the source material beyond senseless violence and murder.

I don't care about the sexuality of the characters or the gender but use your agenda and your propaganda to destroy a good story is extreme and completely stupid... how about the cure and the infected? They somehow forgot about that part of the story. More than 10 hours of cutscenes and just 15 of real gameplay, next time make a movie or a serie instead. And just to clarify, I'm not homophobic or agree with any kind of discrimination. Sony, Naughty Dog stop with the hypocrisy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another game ruined by political correctness.
    They bait and switched in one of the trailers making you believe with Joel being replaced by another character.
    And don't even get me started on the nonsensical murder of Joel, which clearly comes from a delusional developer that hated the character so bad to the point of self inserting himself in the game just to spit on Joel's dead body. Yes, I'm talking about Neil Druckmann.
    Abby is an unlikable character in which I'm forced to play during a big part of the game. It was so tedious, boring and uninspiring.

    And what about Ellie, all that thirst for revenge just disappears at the end when she decided to spare Abby, even if it costed her some of her friends and two of her fingers. Absolutely ridiculous.

    There's so much political correctness and a clear agenda of his creator trying to pander to minorities and liberals.


    Also, there's no multiplayer either. What were they thinking

    All these years for nothing, what an total disappointment. Such and unforgettable experience. I'm never supporting Naughty Dog or anything made by this hack of a developer ever again.

    This game is absolutely vile and unnecessary.    … Expand

    Brilliantly crafted game in all regards from story, animation, gameplay, lighting, sound. This is an amazing send off from Naughty dog to end the ps4 consoles life. thank you to all the devs who pored they're life into this. its an amazing accomplishment. and thank you for sharing it with the world. this is one of the best games I have ever had the privilege to play.

    I have not finished it yet but I am not really enjoying the story anymore as it is simply too far away from my personal reality which means: I simply can't relate and don't even want to. Providing a basis for a very questionable woke ideology seems more important than good story-telling. So: Was it really necessary? Holy **** . Thank you Naughtydog for this piece of garbage.

    From a technical standpoint, this game is great with a revamped gameplay from the original and great visuals, but the story is just underwhelming.

    The game is really beautiful and the story doesn’t follow the cliche that we used to see in many games and gameplay is perfect. The dialog and voice is super crazy. I really enjoyed the game.

    Very important note: Dont see the users reviews because most of them havent even played the game, They are just relying on the stupid leaks.

    Dismiss the negative reviews. For those who don't know, there has been a ton of controversy for TLOU2 having things like LGBTQ acceptance (which is a big no-no I guess?) and having realistic proportions for their characters (usually these people like immersion, but I guess not now that immersion means their fantasy girl is more athletic than their fat ass).

For those who don't know, there has been a ton of controversy for TLOU2 having things like LGBTQ acceptance (which is a big no-no I guess?) and having realistic proportions for their characters (usually these people like immersion, but I guess not now that immersion means their fantasy girl is more athletic than their fat ass). These idiots just can't shut their mouth whenever anything is "political", i.e. has a character who is anything but a straight white male with zero personality. They simply cannot fathom having a main character be something other than what they are: a boring guy with no personality and no motivation. It is simply disgusting to think that, at the point of me writing this, 6000 people were so affronted at the idea of diversity and acceptance for their fellow man that they felt the need to review bomb a masterful game. To the close-minded people who are also about to give a bad review for no reason other than "politics": I have a message for you. Go **** yourself. Go stick a lego up your microdick's urethra as you bawl your eyes out because your tiny mind cannot fathom diversity. Go back to your little basement and hop on **** Keep your hate on that **** useless website and stay there. Either learn to accept others or stay in your ad-hoc incel bunker for the rest of your life. I'm sure me and many others hope that you are able to choose the first option, but know that our expectations are so low for people like you that if you chose the second option we wouldn't even bat an eye. 9/10 game, 0/10 fanbase.… Expand

    This game is one of the worst games ever made in terms of story-telling. I really don't care about the sequel (if you have the balls of making a sequel) because you guys took care of ruining the characters from the first game. characters that made the story much better in the past game.

    Incredible visuals and music can't make up for a complete lack of skill in writing. The story is unbelievable, full of plot holes, often depraved in failed attempts at adding shock factor and spits on the legacy of the original. A painful game to experience.

    It is further insult to injury that Naughty Dog used false advertising to sell the game to fans of the first.

    The Last of Us Part II is easily one of the best looking PlayStation 4 games. Transitions between cut-scenes and gameplay are practically unnoticeable, with lifelike faces and animations that raise the bar for interactive storytelling. It does come at a slight cost however as it’s capped at 30 frames-per-second, dipping slightly below that in very rare instances. Music plays a central roleThe Last of Us Part II is easily one of the best looking PlayStation 4 games. Transitions between cut-scenes and gameplay are practically unnoticeable, with lifelike faces and animations that raise the bar for interactive storytelling. It does come at a slight cost however as it’s capped at 30 frames-per-second, dipping slightly below that in very rare instances. Music plays a central role not only enhancing the mood, but also humanizing the world and characters. If you manage to find a guitar lying around, Ellie can practice for a bit, offering a nice distraction from the unforgiving elements. Like the original, companions accompany you periodically on the journey. During combat they occasionally help out by dispatching enemies, but problems similar to the original game are still present. While partner movements aren't as awkward as before, they still feel artificial as they bounce around in an effort to follow your lead. When not engaged in combat however, they offer touching moments, levity, and insight into the world. Countless conversations range from mundane to deeply personal and further contribute to the incredible storytelling. The Last of Us Part II presents an absolutely crucial and challenging narrative about love and hate. Characters have convincing motivations that leave you thinking about more than what’s in front of you. The places it takes you to are awe-inspiring to explore, with unrivaled attention to detail, and although the combat is somewhat forgiving, it remains thrilling throughout much of the harrowing journey. The Last of Us Part II leaves a deep, emotional impact, and this unforgettable continuation should not be missed.… Expand

    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]
