    I had this game on pre-order for 2 years. The first game is one of my favourite games of all time. THIS IS NOT THE LAST OF US. It plays like a last of us fan fiction, by someone who was trying to ruin every character in the game.

    This game is so boring, I beg of you don't waste your money on this trash game they had like 7 years to make this game and they choked. This is one of the worst games on the ps4 right now.

    The story of the game is so surprisingly bad coming from a trusted company like naughty dog, it’s as if they mad this game just make fun if their fans. This game is s*** even if you leave out the sjw problems. probably the only good thing about this is the graphics, but overall, its just a boring and hard to play game.

    O jogo continua a história incrível do primeiro, refinando as mecânicas que já conhecemos e incluindo outras muito bem vindas. A empresa foi capaz de criar um clima que te faz se sentir parte daquele mundo e se importar com os personagens e sentir o que eles passam naquele momento. Uma obra de arte primorosa e um título obrigatório a todos os donos do PS4

    Abandons what everyone loved about the first game to push forced agendas. The game is filled with unlikeable characters and awful things happen to the characters that are likeable. Add on a horrible plot and you have a disappointing and forgettable sequel. Do not buy.

    As a fan of the first game, I was absolutely HYPED for this game.

When The Last of Us 2 opens up, you get a beautiful world, familiar soundtrack, and the return of both of the characters we all grew to love in the first game, Joel and Ellie. For the first 2 hours of gameplay, you feel right at home in the world. But it soon begins to fall apart. It is hard for someone who has replayed the first game multiple times to realize that the sequel is not up to par. TLOU is about characters and story. Many people, myself included, did not play the game for the gameplay, which is just like a lot of other games. It was the story and the chemistry between Joel and Ellie as a father-daughter duo that drew us all in. Part two feels like it completely disregards the relationship established in the first and the characters seem to change personality and consistency just to further the plot along. There are times where the characters feel like a different character entirely and I was left thinking, “(insert character name) wouldn’t have done that. They were smarter than that.”

    After about 7 hours of gameplay, it begins to feel flat. In a world full of undead, even the living lose life. The story becomes cliche and predictable, and there is a section that is about 10 hours long that focuses on things that have nothing to do with the main story except that it is trying to establish a backstory for a new character. In the first game you learned about the characters as they pushed through the story, a 10 hour flashback was not needed to establish the characters. A lot of the times, things were just unnecessary and by the halfway point I was just wanting it to be over because I was just bored.

    Boring is not a word I would like to use to describe The Last of Us 2, but it is what it is.

    The ending is anticlimactic and it feels as if the game was trying too hard to be artsy and deep instead of just telling a good story. I felt so much emotion for these characters in the first game, and to this day I can’t get through the prologue without crying, but I felt nothing in part 2. The characters feel so different and inconsistent that if it weren’t for the fact that clickers were present, you could easily forget that this is even a TLOU game.

    All that said, the graphics, soundtrack, and acting are phenomenal. The story, is flat and feels more dead than the undead themselves.

    This game is definitely getting bombed by negative reviews on purpose, but don’t just ignore the audience score because of that because there are some valid reasons for disliking this game.    … Expand

    Great gameplay mechanics but the narrative and the storytelling in this game are beyond **** An absolute lack of respect for the previous game combined with lazy writing makes The Last of Us Part II look more like a parody rather than a worthy sequel for the Naughty dog classic

    This franchise is all about the story. Without the story the game means nothing. This game does have great visuals and great gameplay, but the main focus needs to be the story. The story just isn’t good and it tries too hard to make you feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for. And the ending tries so hard to make you feel sad, without making any logical sense.

    I love this game. I loved the first game and the characters too. People upset about the story are just butt-hurt they didn't get what they hoped for. Game of Thrones did what Naughty Dog has here for 7 years, and it was one of the best shows of all time.

    Who cares about the characters sexual orientation. It doesn't matter. And as the old saying goes, you gotta crack some eggs to make an omelet (to avoid spoilers).

    Stop giving into you predetermined notions of what this game will be like before you play it - it's a great game and the critics score on this one is the more accurate number to go by.    … Expand

    If this was just some pretentious indie game, then sure, that's fine and dandy. The problem is, Druckmann knew what he was doing, and he ended up dragging everyone through the mud with him.

Was it intentional sabotage by the Dr. Uckmann himself? I don't see how else things could've turned out like this for both the characters in the game and the people working on it. I hope it's not another Star Wars scenario where people start harassing the actors who had nothing to do with the script, though.

    Gameplay is top notch. If you liked the first game, it's similar with lots of improvements on movement, melee combat and AI.

    Graphics are of course gorgeous. Worth playing just to explore all the environments.

    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.
