    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It seems the vast majority of people who dislike this game were simply after fan service Joel and Ellie adventures. This game tells a story which creates such a vividly rich image of the world it’s set in.

    It provides a unique take on storytelling that deviates from the main characters and shows the new perspectives of all characters involved, and after the initial frustrations of not wanting to play asr the bad guy because they’re ‘bad’ you begin to empathise with their motives are eventually see that they’re life runs as a parallel to that of Ellie’s. They’re just two individuals caught up in a cruel world where life is so painfully cheap.

    There is no plot armour, characters are just people in all their complex glory.

    This game is a must buy if you enjoyed the first one, the story is gorgeously pulled off once you understand it breaks the tradition of standard storytelling. And of course, the gameplay is scaled up tenfold from the first instalment, every moment feels satisfying and visceral. And holy **** does it look and feel amazing, the atmosphere and immersion in this game is like no other.

    Don’t listen to the review-bombers who hate any notion of LGBT in their games (which by the way feels incredibly natural in this game and not forced at all). Play the game yourself and form your own opinion, I loved this game for doing something different whilst still staying so brutally ‘The Last of Us’.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If I could score this game in a single word, i'd use the word "Astonishing"
    There is up to 8 hours that I finished the game's history and i'm still wordless about how incredible well made it is. This game is one of the few games that can make you feel such a strong empathy for the antagonist of the game, and even more: It makes you not know how to feel about what is going on the game. In all the Ellie vs. Abby fights the game had I can only remember wanting them to stop fighting.
    Every consequence, every move one of them makes towards the other, every single small piece of history seems to take you to the thinking: "Is vengance really that important?". Especially in the part where Ellie abandons Dina and JJ to finish what she had started.
    So **** amazing!

    This game tells de best history about vengance, forgiveness and consequence I have ever saw. It really brings out the message behind the phrase "Vengance is like Salt Water: The more you drink it, the more thirsty you'll get". And it goes further to make you see how deep the game goes: Even the secondary characters of it have theirs deepness and relevance to the game`s history.
    And not only the history: This game outdones his first part in gameplay, deepness and especially in the exploration and world design factor too.
    This game is simply amazing, and worth every dolar spent on it. Even though many people will desagree and dislike the subverting expectations part of the game and the twists the history takes, this game is a MUST PLAY, for good or for bad. You'll either hate it or have one of the BEST EXPERIENCES you can have on gaming. The only way to know how much you'll like this game is playing it, and I highly suggest you to do so    … Expand

    Very disappointed by the shenanigans on this website to prevent existing/potential customers from leaving VALID feedback. It would not accept my score of 2 so now I changed it to 8 so it would post! These are NOT bots - real people love AND HATE this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a biased review, to pretend otherwise would be dishonest. It’s really nice seeing myself in a game for once. But holy ****, the last few hours I was just begging through the screen for Ellie to give up her quest for revenge and go home with Dina. When the scene at the farm with Ellie and Dina and JJ happened I started crying, I thought that was gonna be it. Fade to black sitting on a tractor with her kid, the cycle of violence broken, and a happy ending. I feel absolutely gutted that she came back to find Dina had left. I’m hoping we’ll eventually find out that they get back together and raise their kid together. I want a happy ending, I want people to like me to have happy endings.

    Not to mention, Joel reminds me a lot of my dad. The way he awkwardly tried to connect with Ellie and especially the way he asked Ellie if Dina was her girlfriend. I played the prologue on Friday and gave my dad an early Father’s Day call...

    I really really liked this game I think it’s better than part 1. But I do feel as though my feelings were held hostage, queer women never get happy endings it seems. I feel like this game affects us differently as some of us probably desperately want to see some happy endings (which are in short supply for queer women.) Everyone’s able to sympathize, but I’ve never felt this kind of empathy for a video game character before. On another similar note, having their only trans character receive pain because of who he is intrinsically and not his choices, like every other character in this game kind of took me out of the experience. It didn't feel authentic or grounded in the narrative they built which revolves around the consequences of your actions. I'm not saying it was the worst choice they could have made but he didn't need to get dead named so often or have all of his trauma result from his being trans, there were dozens of smarter ways to write him into the story as elegantly as they wrote in Ellie being gay.

    probably an 8/10 realistically due to (pretty sizable) pacing issues and their treatment of the one trans character but I'm rating this based on how it's affected my life and me emotionally because I believe that is a worthwhile perspective. 10/10 game for ME, wow.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Attention spoilers about the history and gameplay on this review, this is a great game that deserves to be played before judged, if you do not understand why I gave it a 10 after having played it almost 28 hours and you think it is okay to give it a 0, or anything below 8 without even having played it, then you are the one with the problem and you should not judge before knowing.

    I think the game was superior to the first one in all aspects, starting with the playable aspects such as combat on wich the animations are much more fluid and realistic, stealth as always plays an important role, but now the enemies seem to have more communication between them , the scars whistle in code, the wolfs shout the names of their companions and they have dogs that sniff you and there is more variety of infected. The only thing I can criticize the gameplay is that the AI is sometimes not up to it (rare), inventory management is much better too, the transition between changing one weapon ti another or hitting an enemy is seamless and the we can always see the weapons equipped in the back or backpack of our character, crafting and collecting resources is entertaining as always, but here we have weapons mods that look and feel great.

    The ambientation, environments and its locations are another very strong point of this game compared to the previous one, the spore areas are dark, foggy, with very realistic ambient light and full of enemies, the ambient sounds and the noises the infected make you nervous. The apocalyptic version of the city of Seattle is extremely detailed, it has scenes full of overgrown vegetation, ruins, even a river with rapids and as it constantly rains everything is deteriorated, the jets of water that fall from the buildings and the puddles they create are very realistic, also the game surprised me with so many well detailed interiors as shops, gyms, restaurants, apartments etc.

    The history is the controversial part of the game, I have never been a fan of temporary jumps in movies or video games, and although I do not love them here, I must say that if they are very effective in showing the story first from Ellie's perspective - Spoiler Ahead - when Abey kills Joel, I was really shocked and she and her friends seemed the worst thugs to me, I couldn't wait for Ellie to take her revenge. I must emphasize that I did not read the spoilers of the game, I entered playing it blindly so I thought Dina was the one who died and that Ellie wanted her to avenge her, but when I saw that it was Joel the one who dies, Ellie's actions seemed justified to me, that until we reached the part of the game where you control Abby, there you get to know her better, this part where you control her was quite long too, almost as much as Ellie's and during all her journeys you get to know the character better and her friends much much better, turns out I liked some of her friends even more than Ellie´s friends like Owen, Manny and Nora are my favorites, when I saw that Joel killed his Father, I was still on Ellie's side in taking her revenge, but when Abby started helping the Scar brothers and tried to seek some kind of redemption to calm her conscience for what she did to Joel, I knew she was the same as Ellie and at that moment I didn't want she or Ellie to died, when the end was near I thought that maybe I would not like it but I did liked it,I am not going to discuss the end but I can say to other reviewers that said that Ellie was not faithful to her character because of her last action, you are wrong, she indeed killed alot os people to get to her revenge but at the end I think she finally realized that killing her wil not make her happy and that at the end Abby was a person like her that suffer alot because of this revenge the two had, she was ready to let go and she did.

    So, this game is the best until now of 2020, the only negatives I found was that Dina I never really liked me, I don't know why, also I am sad that Joel died, he was a terrific character but I think it was something that gave the story a lot of strength and that resulted in the rebirth of both main characters. We have an Ellie who can forgive when it is right and a new possible protagonist for some future game. The graphics although they are great I think they made my PS4 cry the and sometimes the textures did not always load or looked the best so I can not wait for the PS5, but all this seems superfluous and did not affect my enjoyment with the game at all.    … Expand

    This game is very special in a lot of different ways, I really enjoyed playing through this game and the 20-30 hours playthrough stuck with me long after I had seen the credits.

    Most of the criticism other people have stem from the fact the story is not what they wanted/expected from the game. The game takes alot of risks which might not resonate with everyone. The game follows Ellie,    This game is very special in a lot of different ways, I really enjoyed playing through this game and the 20-30 hours playthrough stuck with me long after I had seen the credits.

    Most of the criticism other people have stem from the fact the story is not what they wanted/expected from the game. The game takes alot of risks which might not resonate with everyone. The game follows Ellie, after the events of The Last of Us (Part I) Joel and Ellie have settled in Jackson, a settlement run by Joel's brother Tommy and his wife Maria. After a traumatic event, Ellie sets out for revenge on those who wronged her and the ones she loves. This sounds like a classic revenge story but it is much deeper and more nuanced that it might seem at first glance. Like I mentioned before, Naughty Dog took some risks and made some bold choices with some of the characters and events that take place. The game requires you to think about it and play with your brain on. There are multiple layers to the story that get peeled off as you progress through the story. In the end those layers will reveal a bittersweet core that will make you question the character's choices and actions in a haunting and beautiful way. It might not be the story I expected or wanted but in the end I realise it was the story that was needed for the characters we loved. It's an incredibly nuanced story that really forces you to reflect on the characters we love so dearly because of the events of the last game.

    Gameplay has been refined by quite a bit compared to the first game. Combat is incredibly grounded and realistic. Enemies are smarter and will make an effort to take you down in various ways. Besides that different factions in the world have different strategies when it comes to combat which makes combat varied, fun and tense. Crafting is still here, there are now more and different recipes which gives you tools to tackle encounters in different ways. Movement has seen improvements, compared to Joel, Ellie controls very different. Ellie is much more agile which again, makes the encounters feel different. The addition of a jump button, although it was marketed as a major feature, was not used a lot. Jumping and going prone was mainly used for environmental puzzles and exploration with the latter also being very useful in combat. Collectibles come in the form of trading cards, artifacts and coins, these are a fun little distraction that can keep you busy while exploring the massive environments Naughty Dog has given us to explore.

    Graphically the game is stunning, even on base PS4 visuals and performance of both the game and the hardware are phenomenal. Character models and environments are varied and look incredible. Long grass moves in subtle ways when the wind blows, ice breaks when walking through it, rain drops reflect on metallic objects. Everything looks and feels just right. Combine that with the amazing sound design and you've got yourself an amazing, immersive experience that is rarely topped by other AAA games.

    This is definitely one of the most controversial games to have ever come out in the last 20 years. The game is very divisive for alot of people and the reviews reflect that as well. I'll end this review with on of the best quotes I have heard to describe this game.

By portraying a narrative that showcases the abominable lengths we could pursue in the name of revenge, the complexity of grief, the game achieved what it perhaps had always intended to do: challenge the players' mindsets by going against the grain and making them as uncomfortable as possible. I won't lie, I hated the direction the game took at first. It broke my heart. I thought it unnecessarily cruel. But the more I experienced the story for myself, I realized that maybe that was exactly the point. The game was never what I wanted or expected it to be. It exists not to pander to the players, but to make a statement on the human condition. It made me feel hate and love in equal measure. It made me enraged and then hollow by the end of it, broken as the characters and world around me. I love the game for what it is, not what it could've been. This story could've been what everyone wanted it to be. What everyone expected it to be. Instead, it slapped us in the face and gave us the exact opposite. A bleak, harsh reality that is justified by the established cruelty of its world. There is absolutely no way Naughty Dog couldn't have known this game was going to elicit intense vitriol from certain circles. They could've gone the "safe" route, given fans what they wanted, and proceed to garner praise, but instead they took a massive gamble and told a story they wanted to tell. It's phenomenal, how this game BOTH displayed and incited the depravity of humankind in such a profound manner. This was a social commentary in the making. Bravo, Naughty Dog. Bravo.

The variety of enemy types makes each encounter unique and interesting. The intricacy and vertically that the game offers in terms of environments allows for players to approach combat situations in any way they see fit.

    The visuals and audio in the game are head and shoulders above it’s competition. They use sound expertly to build and release tension as well as create some real moments of horror. The set pieces are spectacular and awe-inspiring. This is what we’ve come to expect from perfectionists Naughty Dog.

    In terms of story, this game sets out to tell a very different one from the first. It’s gritty and often leaves the player feeling a sense of hopelessness. The story does have moments of light and dark but offers nowhere near as much light as the first entry in the series. Some may like this approach, whilst others might hate it. I personally loved the approach that they took with the game; the key element to the story pivoting around the idea of differing perspectives. Naughty Dog could’ve played it safe and made a predictable story that doesn’t bring any new ideas to the table.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece... It bought out some complex emotions within me that i never felt a video game could achieve... Amazing yet intriguing and deliberately divisive story... A techincal marvel and so on... Like i said a 10/10 masterpiece!

Para mi el juego fue una experiencia muy complicada, no es un juego tipico y mucho menos feliz pero así es la vida y más en ese mundo, es una historia muy buena ya que te enseña que la venganza realmente no te da ninguna satisfacción ni te ayuda a seguir con tu vida, es una experiencia que todos deberían probar, es una historia muy adulta y es obvio que no a todos les va a gustar deberías probarlo por tu cuenta y decidir, no te dejes influenciar por lo que los demás digan… Expand

    The game as a whole was an upgrade on the original. Graphically stunning and various improvements on combat and various elements which made the first game so fun and successful.

Playing as the main character Ellie on a revenge mission was a little cliche but worked well. The problem however was naughty dog brought in a new character with no real background and this wasn’t explained too well similar to a lot of new characters in the sequel. No background and no real attachment to these new characters showed how focused the company have been on different elements. My big problem with this game was the idea of playing with a character who Ellie is trying to gain revenge on. This character is detestable after her acts early in the game and for whatever reason we have to play roughly 10 hours with this character with naughty dog trying to force it down our throats this character isn’t too bad really. That unfortunately was not going to work which made the story quite bad unfortunately. The parts as Ellie were perfect and fine if the game followed along that path then the story would have been fine. An 8 out of 10 seems fair all things considered.… Expand

Story definitely not going to please everyone, but try to move past the expectations you have coming into the game and give it a shot and you may enjoy it. Though "enjoy" might not be the right word since this is one of the bleakest games ever. Still, I personally liked the nuances of the story and found it deeply engaging, heartbreaking, and intense. They took a lot of risks with this story, and while not all of them pay off, I think overall they succeeded.
    Other than the story, which has understandably divided fans, everything else is top notch as expected. I've always loved TLOU gameplay, and this just improves everything I liked. Graphics, music, sound design, acting, all top notch.
    Still, I will say, Last of Us 1 is my favorite game, and this one doesn't come close to it, though it's hard to beat one of the best games ever made. Additionally if you loved the first game, it is hard to play this one and see all the characters you love go through absolute hell, and I get why people don't like it. I still think it's worth playing and forming your own opinions on it. And in the end if you don't enjoy it, that's fine have you're opinion just like I have mine, just don't be a jerk about it like so many are right now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed playing this game, it forced you to realize that the people you kill in the game are much more than an enemy without feelings. It makes me sad that people are too upset over the death of Joel to see how refreshing it was to see the story from the other side. A concept that is rarely explored in games.
    It was such a long time ago since i played the first game that I don't feel too bad about Joel dyeing or having to hurt Ellie whilst playing as Abby. So maybe that's why I didn't mind the story. But I also felt that Abby was just as justified in her actions as Joel and Ellie were. I guess I would have made the story a bit different myself but like I said, the change of perspective was really fun. That type of storytelling have a special place in my heart and I have a hard time agreeing with people who are too upset about Joel's death to see any positives in the story. I also feel as if they are missing the point of why Ellie didn't end up killing Abby. Just as we saw how every story has more than one side to it, so did Ellie. So in the end she couldn't justify Abby. And to me, that was the message of the game.
    It was not as good as the first one but I definitely think it's worth playing.    … Expand

    The game is far from a “masterpiece”, it definitely has many issues in its story, specially regarding to Abby. However, the gameplay is super enjoyable, the animations are the best I’ve ever seen, the music is amazing and levels are fun.

Is the last of us part II a game that is perfect and a true game of the generation? I honestly don't think so. Is this game great and worth playing for every PS4 owner? Hell yea. These days we are not getting a lot of single-player narrative focused games without an open world. We should be thankful for this game beacuse it's one of few that are like that. I don't understand the people that are angry about the story, about how they killed theirs favourite characters. This isn't a story in which you think wow this character is the good one and this one is bad one I hate the bad one and love the good one. Everyone is a scumbag, everyone has a reason to be a scumbag. Ellie got her Father figure killed, but Abby had her real Dad killed by Joel, Joel not only killed her father but Joel made saving the world from the Infected impossible. Everyone has their reason but everyone is driven by the need to revenge, and that is never good. Overall the gameplay is still great for people that liked TLOU 1. And the graphics are just incredible. I don't think that for most people this game will be a game of generation, for me personally it is not, but it is hell of a game, and one of the best I played.… Expand

The story was heavily criticized, and so was the gameplay. However, upon playing the game i realized that most what everyone complained about was the fact that they lost Joel. They acted as if he was a Saint but in reality he wasn't. Yes I loved the character but he did bad things a d and the game did justice. The story wasn't even bad. Only problems I had with it is how easy Abby turned on the WLFs, the fact that they had Abby kill Joel in the first couple hours felt like a let down, as they portrayed Joel as a part of the story in the trailers which felt like an advertisement lie.

    Asides from that. The game play was more than awesome, the gore levels are very realistic to compared to other games, the characters are actually good. Personally i feel like lots of those negative reviews stem from homophobic reasons    … Expand

But the end really got me because I think the theme of this game showed revenge and forgiveness. This game showed that vengeance is not good Abby took that road and she lost all her friends. Ellie also took that road and lost a life with Dina but saw that it would just lead to more suffering.How Ellie was able to forgive Abby for what she did and when she wanted to try to forgive Joel. Joel's death was not dumb it's what we all saw coming anyway it what motivates Ellie to get her revenge therefore making this game. Gameplay is great especially on the hardest difficulty.

It expands on the original world set in the first game by introducing factions and characters that are fascinating to learn about. Naughty Dog have done an excellent job in making the player want to learn more about the world itself and the characters within.

    The story is expertly written and in many ways quite daring. It breaks away from traditional storytelling seen in most games and gets you emotionally involved in many of the new characters Last of Us 2 has to offer. Many of these characters are written in such a way that you might and probably will dislike them at first, but over time you will feel emotionally invested in a lot of the characters within Last of Us 2.

    As for the gameplay Naughty Dogs have improved upon the first title by adding important features such as being able to get your human enemies to fight the infected, or better yet the infected to fight your human enemies. The combat can also be frantic and you might find yourself hiding under tall grass to escape enemies only to re-emerge and throw a Molotov at a group that was chasing you only moments before.

    You may have seen some controversy surrounding the game. Ignore a lot of the low user reviews for The Last of Us 2. A lot of the complaints are about the story from people who have not touched the game itself and instead have read a bullet point list of the story without any of its complexities.

    As always stick with game reviewers you trust to form an opinion before buying. I personally recommend Easy Allies review on the game.

Most cut scenes are great. *All* of Joel's stuff is astounding. Along with this, the opening and closing few scenes of the game took my breath away. Not to mention the impeccable graphics, gameplay, acting, etc. A lot of people don't like many of the new characters, but I liked most of them, except for Owen a little.

    TL;DR: A masterpiece that barely misses out on a ten because of the pacing.    … Expand

All upgrade mechanics from previous title including graphics, bigger maps, weapon choice etc. Many people complain about the death of Joel, which is seem pretty rush but it's happen every time in this franchise. Character died unexpectedly everytime in this franchise which is make it feel more organic. Although many people say the ending were nothing, it shows great progress for Ellie character development. With every upgrade and good story line this game deserve a 10/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know this game isn’t everyone’s cup of tea with what happens to Joel and you play as abbey for the second half of the game.but this game is fantastic one of the best stories told in a game the graphics are truly breathtaking when you are going round Seattle in the Game.the gameplay is some of the best I’ve played with you sneaking around stealth killing enemies it can get very tense but if you survive you feel like you accomplish something and it’s very brutal with the kills.Yeah I know some points of the game with abbey are not very good and can drag on but it is so good you get to feel both sides of the story of revenge with ellie and abbey.the ending cutscene where Ellie and Joel talk for the last time is truly heartbreaking because it shows that through all the lies Joel told ellie she wants to try and fix their broken relationship. I would definitely pick this up if you are a PS4 owner… Expand

    This one is more scary, more realistic more good looking The history is great until the end where things get a little weird, but if you take your time to analize it and understand the philosophical meaning behind the end and what it means to ellie, it's a great game with a dark but bright at the same time ending    … Expand

    Last of Us 1 is my favourite game of all time. I completed and enjoyed LOU2. It certainly wasn’t the story I’d have wanted for the protagonists, but I appreciate the courage in what was delivered, it was definitely not the safe choice for a part 2, it was edgy, and thought provoking. The gameplay, audio, and visuals were everything I hoped for.

    The first game was mostly "us" (Joel, Ellie,    Last of Us 1 is my favourite game of all time. I completed and enjoyed LOU2. It certainly wasn’t the story I’d have wanted for the protagonists, but I appreciate the courage in what was delivered, it was definitely not the safe choice for a part 2, it was edgy, and thought provoking. The gameplay, audio, and visuals were everything I hoped for.

    The first game was mostly "us" (Joel, Ellie, and the player) against "them" (pretty much anyone who stood in our way). In the second game, we are compelled to consider the experience of someone who represents the worst sort of "them" - i.e. a nemesis of us. Switching that perspective is a **** it causes all sorts of uncomfortable cognitive dissonance. Attempting to understand, empathise with, bond with, even become the other side is difficult, and the difficulty of that challenge was the genius of LOU2 I think. We bonded with Ellie and Joel in Part 1, as they bonded with each other: we shared the same journey, so that by the end, regardless of where you would objectively sit on the "kill one to save the many" question, most of us could understand Joel's actions: they were what a father would do for his de facto daughter.

    How can we switch perspectives when we are so attached to our beloved protagonists from Part 1? Letting go of that bias and almost familial bond is hard, it feels unnatural and disloyal, yet I found it insightful to try.

    The Last of Us 2 was darker in so many ways: not just sinking to greater depths of brutality, but the glimmer of hope was immeasurably dimmer. Brutality breeds retaliation, and I appreciated watching that mirrored on both a micro (personal) and macro (faction) scale. I found the challenge of forging empathy for "them" real hard, and it made me so aware of how strong bias can be, how strong bonds for loved ones can be. I wanted Ellie to make better choices, but filled with survivor guilt, having only just begun her journey of trying to forgive Joel, only to have him brutally tortured to death in front of her... I can see why vengeance was easier than other ways of moving forwards.

    Tl;dr LOU2 for me was a challenge of empathy and perspective, giving me the opportunity to appreciate that the "us" story that so many games present comes hand-in-hand with the largely untold or superficially told story of "them", which that we seldom consider. That good and bad are often strongly influenced by perspective, it's easy to condone the bad actions of us, and easier on our conscience if we don't consider them too closely. For me that's something to consider not only in games and in many other aspects of life.    … Expand

    I personally loved this game. I can understand that the choices of the writers were difficult to accept for some, this story is heavy and sad. I love Abby, at the end of the game even more than Ellie I think. I do think she deserve more love and understanding from the public in my opinion.. Great and sad game.

    Really top tier level och graphics, level design and overall gameplay. The story is brilliant, well-written, dark and told in a way which really keeps you wondering how it's going to end while the suspense builds.

    The game has unexpected moments which will make you hate characters later to sympathize with them, as well as love characters later to doubt their integrity. Real conflicting moments which will have you question who is hero and who is villain. The game is 50% longer than the first game so it's not short. A lot is said between the lines it doesn't hold your hand, emotions and choices that aren't explained and would make the game worse if they were explained. I think this game isn't for everyone, you don't have control over what the characters will do/choose just like in the first game so all you can do is strap in, hope and not expect, which makes it all the more exciting. Once again Naughty Dog has delivered a experience I won't soon forget, a darker and more uncomfortable experience, but a thrilling experience nonetheless.    … Expand

    Not for the weak-hearted! This game is just as beautiful as a Red Dead Redemption 2. The game is smart. There are many accessibility options, indicating the company that made it is thoughtful. The story is like nothing you will ever play in a video game, let alone see in a movie.

    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]
