    "Last Survivor 2" has a very good experience in terms of screen performance and combat, but the plot is over-rendered and the sense of singularity of the previous game, and the characterization of the new character is not very good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having been a big fan of the first game and all other naughty dog titles I have been excited for sometime about this release.

    Upon playing the game all previous plot and character development has been thrown out the window. Disappointed in the direction ND has taken with their IP and especially how they treated their core characters and their relationships in this instalment.

    I have finished the game to give it a fair go but to be honest I won’t be replaying it or recommending it. The only saving grace that didn’t give a score of 0 is the graphics and combat mechanics are great.

    If you want to brutally murder your memory of TLOU1 get this game otherwise save yourself the $60    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The good.
    Amazing to look at, really how did they get this out of a PS4 pro, cannot fault it.
    The sound design is great, a few repeated lines that keep been said but still great for this age of tech.
    Animations are great/fluid.

    The OK
    The acting is a mixed bag, it's well done but the script is at times is cringe.

    The BAD
    This is the big bad that destroyers all the other good work, the story is painfully bad. By that I mean its The Last Jedi bad (ok some like that film)
    There are decisions made in-game that are "wtf, did they forget about character behavior/knowledge in the 1st game" plot holes, side stories where I was let saying out loud "Why are you making us play this long side story... it's crap" then the wonderful swap where you play as a person you basically hate....and this is not even mentioning a worse death than Luke in The Last Jedi.
    I get people need to die in games and films, to motivate others, give a reason for their actions, but write it well and in such a way that even those who disagree with it, still see the reason and can understand it.
    After about 15 hrs I was just playing to finish it, get it done, sadly it got worse near the end but by then I had given up and just wanted it finished so I could get it on Ebay.
    I just do not get how they messed this up so badly.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay-wise, this game is amazing. Graphics-wise, this game is amazing. The world is beautiful and you can tell the devs put a lot of time into making it a better game than the first. I can agree that in most cases this game should deserve a very high rating. Unfortunately, the developers have decided that anyone who was invested in the first game and everything that took place during it can just go kill themselves. After everything that happened in the first game and the player having to come to terms with the decision Joel made at the end of the game, killing him off right at the start of this game because "his decision was wrong" is a massive kick in the balls to anyone who grew attached to both Joel and Ellie. It's like the devs are saying "you liked the story we told in the first game, so get **** you weren't supposed to like it." Even after seeing all the leaks, I wanted to give this game a chance assuming that Joel's death would happen towards the middle or at least a third into the game and be a turning point for the story. Unfortunately, it happens within the first two hours. This completely killed any enjoyment I had had in this game and ruined my motivation to keep on playing it, regardless of the fact that everything else in this game is absolutely award winning.… Expand

    The graphics in these game are superb, and the gameplay is good, but what really ruins it is the story. I actually don't hate the new characters, even if you eventually are brought to do so by the game. What I hate is the way they ruined the plot and how they try so hard to make you feel some kind of negative emotion without having the writing abilities to do so, and it's quite sad.The graphics in these game are superb, and the gameplay is good, but what really ruins it is the story.

    As a fan of the original game it deeply saddens me to see what this franchise has become.

The charm of the original game was predicated upon its well written and relatable characters in a profoundly dystopian setting. Regrettably none of that is present in the second game, the characters that built the franchise are unceremoniously flushed down the toilet while utterly unlikable and forgettable characters take the spotlight. This is all capped off by the game director's thinly veiled self insert first spitting on the protagonist of the first game, and later engaging in some frankly disturbing sex scene in the back of a van. I urge anyone considering buying this game to reconsider or at the very least wait for a steep sale. it's very clear the "professional critics" have once again been slipped cash or something to that effect under the table. This isn't the Last of Us, this is some imposter wearing it's skin like a mask.

    P.S. The thinly veiled political rhetoric is neither necessary, nor is it welcome.    … Expand

I am not giving this a 0 purely to spite this storytelling, the gameplay itself feels like its stuck in the previous generation, the only positive note was the difference in enemy types which I enjoyed.

    The game is a complete spit in the face of fans of the first. While the game is a technological marvel and one of the most artistic game out to date the games story is forced and poorly written. Not to mention no multiplayer which i was a fan of. The game really has no redeeming qualities i recommend saving your money for cyberpunk.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game have astonishing graphics, interesting gameplay and knows how to set the character in certain situations limiting the amount of ammo that you can find better then the first game, the sound design and voice acting is perfect BUT....

    The game is a story game, a story that once was around the relationship of a man who lost his daughter and a girl with no one and the cure for the disease, the father and daughter situation was the best part of the first game, Joel and Ellie was the 2 points that hold the first game together, warming the hearts of those who played it, when the game turns around in a different perspective trying to teach us something that we know and we appreciate actually (the fact that we aren't a hero and we did bad stuff too) its just dumb, we know that and the game tries to over explain something with this new character, that we don't care. the story of the game had a bunch of flaws, poor writing and stupid plots, the game tried to do something they call showing us that hero is a matter of perspective, but they just betrayed us, and feeling betrayed is not good at all, this was a basically game of thrones season 8, nonsense, bad writing, 6/10 even should been lower, Devs WeirdChamp.    … Expand

A grimdark story can be excused in certain cases when the gameplay itself is fun but with TLOU2 the creators try to make you regret playing it. Never before have I seen a game trying so hard to make you regret spending your money on it and with the current global situation that is an idiotic philosophy for a video game. I honestly question the sanity of the execs who signed off for this game to be released. It is such a directorial self insert that it may as well be Druckmanns facebook page. From inserting a character almost certainly based on himself who spits on the corpse of the first game to adding parts with his religion and personal politics there can be no doubt that this game is Neil's fantasy or else a physical embodiment of his own arrogance. Who signed off to release this? From the original games heartwarming and brutal paean to the relationship between Fathers and their Daughters to a confused mishmash of hysterical modern political preaching and violence to the point of parody this game wants to be hated to make a point that even it isn't sure about. In places visually stunning but the animations at times leave a lot to be desired. The jump button is useless and the box declaring it as a feature in 2020 is ridiculous. To best sum up TLou2 we must compare it to the first game because it is an unashamed vendetta against everything that made the first game special. It is akin to tearing down a classic painting, burning it and then proclaiming yourself the true artist. I understand certain zeitgeists put deconstruction of a classic on a pedestal but this is just crude and bitter. Even the pseudo Kojima trickery attempted by the trailers was bought by nobody. The fans knew what was coming. The main point of my review is that hardly any of what is in Tlou2 needs to be in a video game. A good video game with a bad story is playable. A bad video game with a good story is acceptable. Tlou2 may have familiar controls to the first game but the game tries to guilt trip you for using them. A survival horror game that tries to guilt trip you for surviving is not worth the plastic its printed on. Do sports games penalise you for scoring? All in all the game sought to elicit a negative response and I hope it gets it because contempt for the fanbase should never be rewarded. The minute you veer towards that you fail as an industry.… 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.
