    -Awesome Graphics -Awful Story
    -Awful Ending
    -The whole franchise is ruined after 2 hours of gameplay. This isn’t what we expected after 7 years of waiting.

    This "game" is written like a fan fiction, adding characters no one cares about and then destroying the good ones. Sound familiar?

    And the writing is **** basic shock-value writing, did they take inspiration from The Walking Dead or something?

    Anyway this **** is hot garbage, I feel sorry for you if you preordered. Thank god I rented it.

    The game is not interesting. I don't understand why I have to play Abby characters.

    I don't understand the ending. I know what the game message is, but it's not convincing, and when you kill hundreds of zombies and people, you just kill them, and suddenly you're hesitant to empathize with the kid who killed Joel? It doesn't make sense. It's too much to force a message in. Neil Druckman

    Neil Druckman says he wants to hate his fans passionately, but if he's going to ruin their mood like that, he's not going to pay for Laoer 2, or he's just going to suck up their money and betray them?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My anger is that Ellie didn't achive her vengeance, because she decided not to kill after killing a lot of another character. I think the reason why they left abby alive is for a DLC or another game, otherwise I don't find another reason why Ellie didn't achive her vengeance. The graphics and gameplay are great. I wiil like a ending where Ellie achive her vengeance and then regretting because it doesn't make her fill better.
    That's my opinion.

    Gameplay is extremely repetitive. You spend time opening skills only to do the same on Abby. Abby's story is extremely plain and boring and they force you to play for her almost 15 hours. Didn't even bother to add multiple endings.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stellar graphics make an amazing game better.

    Amazing graphics don't make a bad game good.

    The Last of Us introduces you to great, yet broken characters that grow and evolve as the game progresses, there is complexity and thought provoking ideals gracefully presented to the player. It emerges you in a dark, post apocalyptic bleak world. But some friendly banter and reminiscence of times gone brings some relief, sometimes comedic, sometimes sad relief from the world. It's was this small nuance in character development that made Sam and Henry unforgettable and their deaths that much more painful

    The Last of Us part II forgoes all that and decides to just take characters and change their mindset on a whim in order to force a standard run of the mill violent vengence plot on the player. The story is full of holes and apparently a whole lot happened in 4 years. PSP's make a comeback in 2038. I'm sorry but the first game set you up to believe the world had gone to absolute crap. Part II shows us nature reclaiming cities, yet I'm supposed to believe that a 25+year old PSP survived, still holds a charge longer than 10mins and the UMD disc's haven't corroded? When did society begin making clothes? there are many inconsistencies that break the game out of the setting it's placed in. But hey it all LOOKS good.

    Back to the story, it plays out sort of like Kill Bill, only by the end of the movie she lets Bill go instead of giving him the the 5 point exploding heart treatment. Over and over again Ellie pays the price for vengeance only to in the end let her target go for no reason, in fact it portrays the direction they took her character. So at the end of the game your left empty and alone without event the satisfaction of revenge.
    In fact if you want a good violent revenge story go watch the Kill Bill movies and if you want a revenge plot done better in a game format look to Tales of Berseria.

    Now this alone doesn't subject it to a ZERO score. However the game was marketed and early reviewers were strictly forbidden to talk about key points to mislead the public. The entire premise was to paint this light that the player would be returning to the world and the story would once again revolve around Ellie and Joel. This kind of bait and switch tactics, combined with the active DMCA striking and the mentality that you either kiss ND's (both Naughty Dog and Neil Druckman) ass and call the game amazing 10/10 or your "Toxic" or a "Incel" drops its below average score of 4 to a 2. Just because I don't think the game is amazing doesn't mean I'm Toxic. They are free to say its "The most ambitious game" and I'm free to disagree with that, it doesn't mean either party is being Toxic. People can agree to disagree but ND doesn't want to be civil about it.

    this game was a very big disappointment considering how great the first game was.
    this game rips all the combat aspects of the first except now you can fall over while being shot at. other than that gameplay mechanics are almost identical, the story of the game is a complete train wreck within the first two hours of the game you've been introduced to around seven new character's or groups with no real background information to go on only to be thrown into a blizzard where for some reason I guess the story director just decided to abandon TLOU and introduce "woman" and "man" another group of backgroundless characters who eventually murder our favorite main character up until this point.
    it doesn't get any better from there, only worse up until it really feels like we the player have been forced into a long depressing cutscene on rails where we are forced to make the worst decisions possible and then forced to endure the horrible outcome.
    its an experience I don't suggest to anyone really the game is riddled with triggers like, sexual abuse animal abuse, abuse abuse, soft and hard porn, etc. the game also has plot wholes and confusing characters who do and say things that make no sense what so ever.
    my final opinion after playing about half of the game and giving up after being forced to kill a couple innocent puppys, the game does a pretty bad job of keeping you engaged while telling an overall depressing story with an even more depressing end. gameplay mechanic wise I guess you could say it played good for the short time it felt like I actually got to play, during my play thru I kept finding myself saying "oh do I have to move now" over and over again to a point where the game was putting me to sleep.
    not great, don't buy this for anyone under the age of 14 it would most likely scar them for life

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They've ruined the story, is what they've done. The way they killed Joel off was extremely idiotic and never would have happened in TLoU part 1. The story just seemed to be one big pandering session for the LGBT community. It's not bad to have SOME Inclusion but it seemed that the whole game was only made FOR THEM while disregarding everything that happened to the last game.

    The gameplay doesn't look to be any improved from the last one, which is rather sad.

    Not only that but at the last battle, it simply leaves a sour taste and a slap to every fan of the first part. Ellie, who cut through and killed hundreds to get to Abby, Joel's killer, Decides on the last moment; when she could kill Abby right then and there, drowning her, to grow a conscience and lets the KILLER OF HER ADOPTIVE FATHER LEAVE. While Abby had some knife slashes to her, Ellie got two WHOLE fingers BIT off. But no, it's a game clearly worth of a near perfect score right?

    Not for me. The "critics" Are clearly paid for good reviews, or filled with SJW jacks. This game is not deserving of such high marks.

    The story was fundamentally flawed and disrespectful to the original game. The game play made no attempt to evolve beyond where it was 7 years ago; it felt terribly dated and was a chore to play through in between cut scenes. The same game play loop was used over and over, against the same brain dead AI. The art was nice aside from some wonky animation blending.

    I didn't buy TLOU2 for its gameplay because I knew it was going to be like part1. I expected great graphics and sound effects because its a AAA title. I expected great music because that was achieved in part1. I didnt buy TLOU2 for its gameplay I bought it for its fantastic story telling that I expected like we got from TLOU1.

    The story was what made part 1 so special and in part 2, well..... The story forces unlikable characters down my throat. The game introduces 2 new characters Owen and Abby. Abby kills Joel shoots him in the leg and uses a golf club. Ellie wants revenge
    THEN OWEN HAS SEX WITH ABBY???
    Owen is the brother of Joel THE SAME CHARACTER ABBY KILLED
    And there is more garbage but IM DONE! JUST WATCH THE STORY BUT DON'T BUY THE GAME.
    Im mad the story makes NO freaking sense and it destroyed the TLOU franchise
    It threw the story through the 4th floor window and panders to LGBTQ community. If I recall correctly a certain dev was saying how we shouldn't sexualize females in games and then turns right around and sexualized men. The hypocrisy is astounding.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Games should not involve politics if it doesnt have anything to do with the plot...
    If it involves politics, i want to see both sides of the argument not propaganda
    The game story is poorly written
    Visuals are great
    It has the budget but the story is utterly crap
    Being SJW in an post apocalyptic game is forced and unwanted
    I want to have fun, i dont want to be judged or bring up questions that are not related to the game

    Make a fun game, i want to judge people by their actions not by their looks, killing old characters at the start of the game is a bad choice for a story

    This was a good joke, so when is the real Last of Us 2 comes out?

    Horrible, this is a total waste of time. No actual good storytelling and a lot of nonsensical ideas around. So much in fact that it might show some mental deficiencies on the authors. This is why it is important to write down things that make sense and are coherent, the consequences if not might lead to be alike the authors of this blasphemy.

    Plot holes
    Characters not acting like the characters
    Politics forced in

    Graphics... That's the only good thing about this. Everything else is either mediocre or down right awful. The game play did not evolve one bit since 2013. It's still a walking simulator that's more a movie than a game, which would be enjoyable if it had a good story but God damn is it bad. The story simply broke my heart and not in the good way. It's like a spit in the face of the entire fan base. It's like the worst fan fiction you could possibly find. Seriously? This is what you came up after 7 years? Did Twitter write this game? It's full of plot holes and the characters you fell in love with in the first game are completely ruined and you are forced to play with the character that ruined them. I don't mind the woke stuff but when so much of it is obviously forced down your throat it feels like the entire game was built around it so if people don't like it you can pull the victim card and say that they are ists and phobes and whatever. And the director to preach so much about sexualising women in games is bad only than to put that Abby scene in the game? I can't unsee that. WTF were you thinking? I'd rather watch 2 girls one cup on repeat while eating. Let me tell you a little secret western game devs. People are playing games for entertainment and they'd rather see pretty things while doing it than ugl.. excuse me FUGLY ones! This is never going to change. How is sexualising men was never an issue? People don't like to be preached to and to be told what to think. In a video game setting, that choice should be always ours.
    Overall, I don't recommend this, especially if you were a fan of the previous one. maybe buy it when it's on a massive sale.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game's story revolves around revenge for Joel's death (And what a stupid and stolen death, Joel deserved a better death); but when it comes time to close the story, and have revenge, they simply put it for us to try to marry Ellie. What the hell is this bow ?!
    But we have a new chance to avenge Joel, and when we're happy to kill Abby, Ellie doesn't finish and let her go unpunished. Even with the character's journey, to find Abby, in the end this journey is simply thrown away. Final is disappointing, and they managed to throw away the whole arc created, by the death - silly and stupid - of Joel.

    Ruined franchise by an almost unbelievable bad story. So much stuff to discuss in a post apocalyptic world and Naughty Dog chooses to focus on an empty and stupid vengeance cicle, sexuality, gender, abortion and weed. For the sake of this agenda, it even killed a very loved character in a very hateful way. After finishing the game, I wish I haven't played it to preserve just TLOU1 in my memory.

    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.
