    It is absolute utter trash compared to the first game in terms of the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first one, but what they did with this one is utterly pathetic. What they did with my man Joel was despicable. The story was filled with clichés and an extraordinary attempt to pass a political agenda. Politics shouldn't be part of any game. It was all over the place and ruined the characters we loved. The threemance was obnoxiously bad, Abby was terrible and the zombies were almost nonexistent.

    The ambience and music were subpar, especially compared to the previous game and the gameplay was extremely boring. The graphics looks like Switch graphics, which is weird for a naughty dog game. In addition, the length of the game is unfulfilling. I regret buying this and I advice every one to not waste their money on this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only giving this a 1 because of the obvious improvements in gameplay, so I will reward the people who worked on that. But the story writers for this game deserved to be fired. The Last of Us is one of my favorite games of all time, and somehow, someway they managed to take everything that was so great and magical about the first game and absolutely trash and tarnish it. Anybody that enjoyed the characters of the first game are going to be extremely disappointed by this. Joel and Ellie deserved a much better story then what they got in this, and as far as the character switching goes, Metal Gear Solid 2 did a much better job of that, so leave that to people who can actually write a decent story.

    I really hope the developers see that people are angry with this story and take notes on how to do better next time, because this is by far the most disappointed I have ever been with a video game in my 27 years of living, and I’m extremely easy to please, so that is saying something. Naughty Dog, you are better than this and are capable of so much more.    … Expand

    Outdated gameplay that feels like a hinderance to prevent you from advancing the story, unlikable characters, and a story arc that feels entirely pointless once the credits roll make this the worst case scenario for a The Last of Us sequel.

    Abusing the DMC for no particular reason, attacking independent game reviewers by closing their YouTube channels, and the price of this game is overpriced in my country.
    For positives the graphics are looking nice and that's all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Petty revenge plot with spontaneous forgiveness at the end after hundred killings. Below average.
    False advertising with Joel. His 3d model was changed from promo materials basically it was implied he should've been for a while but killed off after 3 hours and all conversations of JoelElly is poorly written flashbacks.
    DinaElly relationship shown ok and sometimes great but at the end it's soap opera.
    Graphics and acting is great.
    Don't care about gameplay and was here for continuation of THE story.
    But got just A story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do you even start...?

    People on subreddits and different media outlets called out the people who saw the leaks. They were called homophobic, transphobic, and all sorts of things.

    I consider myself an intelligent person, and as such, I've never cared for sex, gender, or affiliation in the games. I consider myself open minded, and never had a problem with anything, as long as it made sense, and it the story was written well.

    Obviously, I had no problem with Ellie loving women. It was hinted at in the DLC of the first game, and it played out in this one without any kind of issues. (The love triangle with Jesse, Dina being pregnant, and pregnancy giving Dina a plot armor was kinda meh though)

    But oh boy, the writing in this game. It's unbelievable. It's just ... wow.

    The man who taught Ellie how not to trust strangers, just randomly saves someone (doesn't even care if she's infected or not, because you know, it's not like there's an apocalypse happening). He goes one step further, he says "oh you live there with God knows how many of your buddies? Sure let's go", and then he practically introduces himself "Hey, I'm Joel". Of course Abby instantly knows it's the Joel she's looking for, since she saw the town 4 minutes ago with probably hundreds of people, and she already confirmed on Facebook, that there's only one Joel in there.

    So she goes on and brutally murders Joel. She murders Ellie's father figure right in front of her eyes. I expected Joel to die in the game, but definitely not like this. Disrespectful would be putting it lightly. Even the game devs said that they want to create a meaningful story, and not base this on shock value. Well, guess what this is. (Yes, shock value).

    So, after this, you're kinda left hanging and thinking, "okay, but they had Joel in so many places in the trailers, this can't be real". It is. Most of the scenes you saw are flashbacks that are just too short, but still show you the potential in this game. The thing it could have been with good writing. In other parts, Joel simply wasn't there. ND put him there for you to buy the game obviously. Calling this false advertising might be going a bit too far I guess (I'm not a legal expert though), but it's certainly a dick move which will cause some loss of trust among the community's members.

    Through the flashback scenes by the way, Ellie will learn the truth about the ending of the first game. She then starts hyperventilating and crying, because she didn't get to die. Yes. She's crying because she survived. The game practically tells you that there was only one doctor who could make the cure in the world (lol) and he's dead now because of Joel. You're not allowed to think that maybe, MAYBE the fireflies wouldn't have been equipped enough to start producing serums for EVERYONE, or even create the serum AT ALL. Joel is painted as the evil being that destroyed humanity's last hope. (You had this question popping up at the end of the first game as well, but back then, you were allowed to think about it). I saw a Youtube video discussing this (sorry, I don't remember the channel) and the guy mentioned that he wouldn't give up his life for anything at 14 years of age. Well, I wouldn't either.

    So what's after this?

    Well, you go to Seattle, murder every living being associated with our great friend, Abby. Along your journey here and there, you will encounter the religious (? I couldn't really figure out) cult, the Seraphites, that just kill for fun. Obviously the message here is... Religion bad? I don't really know.

    Also, did I mention you play as Abby for 8-10 hours? Oh yeah, you have to play as Joel's murderer, and what's worse, they'll try to get you to actually like her. I mean... If they change the ending, and take these hours out of the game, it might not even be as bad as it is.

    Before the ending, there will be a few nice moments (mostly flashbacks), and some horroristic ones. And of course, endless, useless violence. Ellie freaks out because she murders a pregnant woman (in self defense, since as she's about to lower her guard, they approach and try to kill her), and Abby comes back from her tour with her new friend. They fight, but end up going their separate ways after that.

    And the ending... You actually find Abby, and force a fight, but since you have a vision of JOEL (who was brutally murdered in front of you) you decide - after murdering half the United States - that it's actually not worth it... ok. You also lose a couple of fingers.

    I'm not an expert on changing hands with guitar, but she definitely has 5 fingers on the other hand, and with 3 fingers, you can play pick, slap, or fingerstyle. So she leaves the guitar, obviously.

    We get a final scene with Joel, so after all this, you may feel a bit better.

    I think this game was not developed to be naturalistic, it was just developed by a psychopath.

    It will get GOTY ofc

    4/10 for me. Visuals.    … 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]
