Review on 🎮 The Last of Us Part II - Standard Edition [PS4] (Uncensored) by Ojasvi Sharma ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

The introduction is quite appealing to me. As I played the prequel to The Last of Us in 2022, called The Last of Us: left behind, it became abundantly evident to me that Ellie is a lesbian. There, the developers made the point of expressing the concept of Ellie's orientation quite clearly, yet it did not annoy me in the least. My issue is more with the story's overall structure than it is with its treatment of feminism or other social issues. I find it impossible to believe that this was produced by the same firm that was responsible for the previous installment and the Uncharted series. You may still get the impression that the buzz topics of feminism and minorities are being forced upon you directly here. Well, that's the case with minorities. In my view, there should be a happy medium between every extreme. After all, it is a game about surviving in the world after an outbreak of zombies. I have nothing against either of the two, but it seems like practically all of the important characters are moving in the path of hype currently. CONTINUE WITH THE SPOILER! At the very beginning of the game, Joel, one of the most well-liked characters in video games, is put to death. I believe that the fact that he was a white male who was also straight meant that he had absolutely no chance of surviving in this game. Really disheartening. If we had even just considered leaving it, my level of dissatisfaction would have been far lower. After finishing the first chapter, I was really looking forward to continuing with the story in the next installment. After completing the second installment, I decided to put an end to this series for good. Even at this point, I don't want to go on. Only based on the graphics, I give it three out of five stars.

Pros
  • Superb graphics, running on the hardware of 2022; I have a lot of respect for the left-hand designers and the programmers who worked on it.
Cons
  • Even if all references to feminism and LGBT were removed from the game, there would still be a significant number of inexplicable occurrences. Boring storytelling. The conclusion pertains to absolutely nothing. The controls are incredibly precise in this game. The quantity of action being taken is insufficient. In essence, all you do is meander from location A to location B. This aspect was also present in the first portion of the game, but because the landscapes were smaller and the seasons and locales were constantly changing, there was less of a sense of tedium and sluggishness throughout the experience. The second part of the game features maps that are slightly larger than those found in the first part of the game. Additionally, the levels feature fewer obstacles and more open space, but the level design remains the same.
