    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You have killed one of the most beloved character, one of the characters that most of your fan base grew up with by a stupid character. And for what reason?!Just to satisfy your political agenda. Killing Joel was already bad enough but putting in a character that is identical to Druckman and spitting on him just shows that you don't care for your fan base at all. Goes to show how big of a **** Druckman is. Expand

    They ruined the franchise! How can you mess up a story so bad?!? The only thing that would have made a game like this stand out is it's story, it's gameplay being quite generic and linear at best. I feel like they just spit on the legacy of the first game, which was a masterpiece!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I was fully onboard the hate train when I read the story leaks, after completing the game I'm forced to admit how wrong I was. TLOU Part II isn't a totally airtight story, but it's still an incredibly stirring one. People who say this is simply a revenge story are mistaken. The Last of Us Part II is a story of forgiveness. In a lot of ways, it's exactly the story we expected after the first game's ending -- Ellie comes to realize the truth about what happened to the Fireflies, and must cope with Joel's actions on her behalf. Part II is exactly that; a story about Ellie learning to forgive Joel through the sheer brutality she puts herself through. The only twist, is that this forgiveness and understanding of Joel's choice comes posthumously, which only makes it all the more emotional.

    As for the rest of the game... The gameplay is a huge improvement over the first. Everything from the gunplay, the stealth mechanics, and even character movements are vastly improved. Levels are beautiful and sprawling. There are some set pieces here that make the first game seem lame at times. This is of course enhanced by the gorgeous graphics, which may be the best I've seen in any console game, ever. The music too, is a haunting addition to the already dark story.

    It's a game that's going to be misunderstood for a long time, but I've been thinking about it for days now, and to me that's the mark of a masterpiece.

Gameplay is slightly above average, nothing special, there are interesting moments but in general it should have been much better, especially considering that it doesn't differ much from the predecessor that was released 7 years ago! Story and characters...oh my god, a complete failure, I really can't figure out why they needed this. Inconsistency, plot holes, horrible characters...you wait in despair for everything to end as soon as possible.

    Anyway:
    Graphics and atmosphere - 9/10
    Gameplay - 6/10
    Story - 2/10
    Characters - 1/10

    So, 4/10 overall score. When you consider how bad the story is, maybe this is too much ... but the game looks great, gameplay is bearable, so 4/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think Sony should at least check their game makers before releasing it. Because this the type of garbage usually comes out if you don't (Refer Death Stranding and its "hype").People may love it or not but choice should be ours about it storywise don't force us to watch the drama that is unfolding right in front of us. I still don't see why the reviews worship this game.

    They should at least give us a chance to make up our own minds about killing the person who kills Joel .This actually makes the whole time you spend this game playing useless.I mean if you gonna stop mid way might as well don't leave Jackson all together. Open up a farm or **** This game is the definition of Cock Block. And after that we are forced to play her. **** i don't wanna play her. I don't even care about her, i just wanted to play Joel and Ellie. But you gon and **** that up and you killed JOEL in the first few hours and telling me look she did it and this her reason now go and play with her and watch her drama a little bit.

    Don't force us to killl half of Seattle just to arrive the Killing is Bad and you should feel bad conclusion. Even porn movies have a better storytelling than this one.

    Can't believe i waited this long for this ****

    For all those thinking of buying i suggest use the money to buy yourselves a cold one and watch it on youtube. At least that way you are not gonna get buyer's remorse.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and try as i might, i just cannot comprehend how this game received a perfect score across so many professional reviewer. This game just failed to reignited the emotions that the first game have despite its effort to play victim hood.
    To be honest, i don't really find the storytelling compelling enough as towards the end, all just seems so pointless. I couldn't care for the graphics because all PS4 Pro graphics are good like God of War and Red Dead 2 so this is really nothing new for a long time gamer as myself.
    i replayed TLOU 1 weeks before the release of Part 2 and for Joel to suddenly be so one step ahead of his enemies to freely divulging his identity and be so trusting to a large groups of strangers, i really find it hard to accept. Maybe it would have made more sense if it was a stand alone game (Part 1 never existed). The disconnect is left me dumbfounded,
    It is like I am playing this character who looks and sounds like Joel but isn't.
    I had expected a smarter, more intelligent way to take Joel out to be honest. It is like they just wanna get over with his character fast and it shows.
    Overall, The Last of Us Part 1 is a masterpiece that is just to hard to recreate.

    It is hard to explain my disappointment with the story. I am all for LGBT rights. I think the game is fine in its narrative for LGBT rights -- that's good -- there should have been that deeper connection with the characters as the last game. I also know it's hard to be better than the first game; but you had so many years to make this game! Plus, you had focus groups! I mean, come on.

    In my opinion, the last of us 2 is mostly about the story. Even if the gameplay is good, it cannot save the game if the story is not up to par. Gameplay is pretty much the same as the first game so if you enjoyed tlou's loop, you will enjoy this. That loop being stealth(if you want), loot, craft and then fight.

Gameplay is pretty much the same as the first game so if you enjoyed tlou's loop, you will enjoy this. That loop being stealth(if you want), loot, craft and then fight.

    The first game was universally praised for many reasons but I think, what made it truly great was the evolving relationship between Joel and Ellie. In part 2 that dynamic is immediately thrown to the side in favor of new characters, which I do not enjoy at all. Most if not all the new characters I find to be bland or awkward. The established characters, although they may have the same name, their personalities seem to be very different from the first game. To the point that some of the decisions that the characters take are baffling to me, so much so that I ended up despising a character that I previously loved. The ending is just bad. It makes everything that you did leading up to it utterly useless.

    I do not think this game was made for fans of the previous one. This would probably be better received by players if it was a completely new game but since it is a sequel it should be compared to the original. Part 2 falls short in every single aspect with the exception of graphics and gameplay but as I have stated previously, tlou2 is mostly about the story, and comes woefully short compared to the first.

    tldr: if you want to be depressed or you are a sadist, play this game.

    I finished the game, the only reason I played this is because of the hype. I also finished the first game and if I would rate it, I would give it a 6 or 7.

    Now onto the game.

    CONS:
    - Gameplay feels like it's stuck in the PS2 era. Stealth feels similar to AC/Splinter Cell. Over the shoulder view is just a copy of RE4, no improvement whatsoever. Gameplay is exactly the same with the first game, it just added dogs as enemies.

    - Terrible game design. Environmental 'puzzles' suck. Pacing sucks, it should have been a 12ish hour game and you would still be able to get whatever is offered over the 20+hour game. I was expecting that the reason behind the 20+ hour of gameplay was to focus on Abby and her backstory so that you get to 'feel' for her, but the writers never really established that. You never 'feel' for her

    - POOR REPRESENTATION OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY. I know it's a start, but a poor representation is a poor representation and I cannot stress this enough!

    - Story is just terrible. I never liked playing a game for its story, but the only thing that hooked me in the first game was the gripping and gritty story. The story here is gritty for the sake of gritty. The characters are very cliched. Stupid ending that people are trying to disguise as 'open ended ending'. Guys, if I wanted a poorly written story, I would have gone to Netflix and their hundreds of B movies.

    PROS:

    - This game's graphics is absolutely gorgeous. I know Tsushima looks good in previews but this game will probably give Tsushima a run for its money

    - If you are a first time player, this is not a bad game, probably a 4 or 5 at best.

    All in all, I suggest you take your money elsewhere and wait for this game to reach $15-$20. There are A LOT of amazing games on sale in PSN right now and I suggest you put your money on those games instead.

I'm not sure why but it seems the narrative focuses more on getting "shock points" rather than being a good story. Characters you love will be brutalized, things that should make sense are done in the opposite way to break expectations and you are forced to go through them because the narrative says so. You often find characters doing horrible, out of place choices that force the plot to keep going, and in the end it does not pay off. Some call this game "misery porn", they wouldn't be wrong, the game does just intend to make you feel bad for the sake of it, even if it makes no sense.

    The gameplay is mediocre at best, third person shooter with very basic melee combat and low enemy variety.

Of course, the demises of certain main ensemble characters is upsetting, but if a game portrays them in a way that's both meaningful and true to the character, so be it. The deaths in this game felt so utterly heavy-handedly forced down my throat I shut it off and left for a bit.

    It is extremely obvious to fans of the first game that the writing has veered off into something else entirely this go-round. It's upsetting to see actual user reviews being ignored, and only have the large gaming journalists reviews be considered "valid" Meanwhile, when average gamers like myself try to explain our vastly different experiences with the game, we're considered "bots" or "review-bombs" or we're upset because of the sexual orientations of characters withing the game. This is insulting.

    TLOU2 is a solid game. However, it doesn't advance the story, the graphics, or the gameplay enough after as long as it spent in the oven. The game devs should be proud of the work they put in.

    The writers should be ashamed.

    Everything you can think of that's cliché and "diverse" is put in there without any kind of sense. Having a trans woman kill off the favourite character in the first 30 minutes of the game is awful.
    I sincerly hope that Naughty Dog takes the anger seriously, and don't try to make it about people not being as woke as them. Stories like this don't make the legend that the first game did. They should've looked at the success of the first game and learnt from it, not trash it's legacy for the sake of SJW-idiocy.

    Let's kill off one of the most beloved main characters from The Last of Us and spend the entire game trying to avenge their death, only to not be able to when the time finally comes.

    It makes you play as the one who killed said character from The Last of Us for five out of the eleven chapters.

    It's a big **** you" to The Last of Us fans.

    I would have at least liked to see some sort of vengeance, but it just leaves this bad aftertaste in your mouth.

    It ruins relationships that were built throughout The Last of Us.

    It shoves LGBTQ+ down your throat, and if you don't like it? You're the problem. You're transphobic, etc.

    I told myself that I would Platinum this game when it comes out. Now? I don't even want to touch it ever again.

    I had some hope that there would be a "happy" ending, but we couldn't even get that.

    If you're a fan of The Last of Us, don't play this game.

    If you're new to The Last of Us, don't play this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us is my favorite game of all time. This game on the other hand is awful. It's hard to even put into words how disappointing it is. I wanted to like it so much. I constantly watched all the trailers for month's, year's. I was in shock and confusion over what happens in the first act and it just get's progressively worse as it goes on. The best parts of The Last of Us are the little happy, heart warming moments, looking at the capital building at sun rise, the car ride to Pittsburgh, Ellie's jokes, Henry and Joel talking about Harley's, the moment's from left Behind, the Halloween shop, brick throwing contest, the merry-go-round, the arcade, playing Jak X, playing the turning, the water gun fight dancing on the display case, Riley and Ellie's Kiss, and the most important of all of them the giraffe scene. There are none of those moment's in this game. Everything in this game is miserable, uninteresting, messy, and boring. The very few good moment's are immediately halted. The visuals were not that impressive, I think Uncharted 4 looked a million times better. The Gameplay felt sluggish and not responsive, and probably one of the biggest let downs is that the soundtrack sucked, It felt so generic and boring. It felt like they were trying to recapture the music of the first game but it just sucked. The story was horrible both from what actually happens in the game and also from a writing and storytelling perspective. This may be hard to believe but I played the whole game in one go. It took me 23 hours to finish. I did not sleep because I knew I wouldn't be able to. It is so miserable that I wanted to get to the end to hopefully get some sort of closure and a tiny bit of happiness but nope. I get these flash Images of the ending in my head and it makes want to throw up, thats how bad it is. Weather it was intentional or not, I don't care. I really really really wanted to love this game. I love everything that The Last of Us and Naughty Dog represented, but this was spirit killing. Ellie has been my hero for seven years, she would always give me hope. but in this game, she let me down so much, everyone let me down. The Last of Us will always have a special place in my heart, but as far as I am concerned, this game does not exist. For me The Last of Us Ends with Ellie saying okay. Expand

    Thanks, Naughty Dogs, for nothing else than a spit on your fans. I will never buy on of your games again. And to be fair, i will not put one dime in playstation anymore. Time to exode on xbox. This way, maybe i will be safe from such a disaster in the future.

    Este se siente como una de las tantas copias que salieron luego de su éxito, imitando su gameplay que pese a estar mas pulido que el original, falla en su historia.
    Una trama simplista a más no poder mal ejecutada, una venganza qué no lleva a ninguna parte que se contradice con el mensaje que escuetamente intenta transmitir y personajes que no interesan a nadie con los cuales no se puede sentir empatia alguna
    ¿Como es posible que su mensaje sea qué la venganza no lleva a ninguna parte pero Abby haya podido ejecutarla casi sin consecuencias mientras Ellie perdió casi todo y al momento de haber matado al 500avo pobre diablo sin cara, no haya matado a la persona que fue la razón de esta cruzada?

It's like seeing realistic violence in a middle school play - absurd.

    The gameplay of Part II is very similiar that we expiernced in previos part of the game and Uncharted series. It's pretty good, but there is nothing really new that can hold me near the screen for a long time. It starts allright but it turns boring after first nine hours of gameplay. And there are much more hours... The plot is simply not worth this time, better go and play A Thief's End.

    Let's hope that the developers find the strength to create something truly amazing in the next game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics and gameplay are approved. Gameplay wise there not a lot to complain about but the horseback riding can be glitchy when going in between objects. And the switching menu can feel very slow when going from gun to heath pack or other objects. Now the biggest problem of the game the story. I'm ok with Joel getting killed off but I don't like the way the did it, and it don't really feel like it need to happen. And now Abby, I don't like or want to play this character. When you play as Abby you kill Joel, Jesse, and almost kill Tommy, Ellie, and Dina. The attempt to humanize Abby fall flat on me I don't care about her. But I did like Yara and Lev. In all honesty if you leave Abby in the game still as the main villain but take out all her playable story and you still can find out why she killed Joel/ maybe change the way she killed him. And put all the time they put on Abby toward Ellie and Dina relationship and their journey to Seattle, and maybe you can also try to put Yara and Lev stroy in there as well. It would have been a better story in my opinion. I also have a problem with how Abby find Ellie in her hide out. I don't think Ellie dumb enough to write where she is hiding out on a map. The ending had me disappointed to say the least. I loved the original last of us but hated the ending. I guess I can say I like this ending more but it's still bad, she lost Dina but I don't care to much about their relationship because they didn't really build it up. It's like you really didn't lose anything other than Joel at the end and what happened to Tommy did he go after Abby again or stay home. The game isn't as bad as people are say but it's no where as good as critics are saying. It's a shame this could have been a amazing story/game but they just didn't make the game that they should have. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Recuerdo que cuando jugué al primero con unos 14 años me encantó, el Gameplay no era nada del otro mundo, pero la historia era tan buena que realmente no importaba, además de que los gráficos eran increíbles para ser un juego de 2013, y ha día de oh me siguen pareciendo sublimes.

    Tras finalizarlo lo primero que sentí fue un vacío interior, ya que las 11 o 12 horas que dura me las pase como un niño y sabía que podría rejugar el juego, pero nunca sentiría lo mismo.Ademas pensé que era el juego perfecto para no tener secuela, ya que el final era suficientemente redondo y las cosas que se estiran acaban mal.

    Me emociones increíblemente cuando salió el trailer el 2017 creo recordar y desde entonces hasta que ha salido he estado totalmente hypeado.

    El juego lo he comprado de salid y me arrepiento muchisimo.Parece un fan fickal echo.

    Lo que tiene de bueon es que tiene unos gráficos y animaciones despanpanantes, ya está, eso es todo.

    El combate por mucho que se diga que no no es nada del otro mundo, han puesto lo del l1 para esquivar,las grietas y echarte a tierra y ya esta, aunque esto no me molestas mucho.

    Lo que si me molestas es la historia, y esque esta clase de juegos se supone que se basa en eso, la narrativa.Para empezar la muerte de Joel es totalmente forzada y denigrante para el personaje, además de matarle se le tortura y todo con Tommy y Ellie delante.Mas adelanté, por conveniencias del guió, se les deja vivos a los dos personajes anteriormente citados.

    Ellie emprende su venganza junto a dina, la novia, más o menos, y durante la persecución hablan de cosas totalmente banales y disfrutan del paisaje.Mas tarde controlamos al personaje que ha matado a joel, una idea genial.El final es irrisorio y todo el juego está cojido con pinzas

    Supongo que naugthy dog quería enseñaros que la venganza es mala, y que en este mundo no existen ni los buenos ni los malos, pero esta relaizado de una manera patética y sin ningún sentido.Para mi este videojuego no es canon.

    I stand with the masses around the world in being soul crushingly disappointed and heartbroken by the death of our beloved Joel. All these years I waited, pre-ordered and set aside time to play this I was beyond excited. To be faced with our wonderful Joel have his life brutally taken. I'm heartbroken, angry, and horrified. Joel & Ellie are ruined now.

    We were ALL so excited to see the bond between him & Ellie again, I don't even want to play now. Why is the focus on some murdering heathen, and Ellie embarking embarking on the Dina journey?? and who the hell wrote his death right at the very beginning of the game..?? This game franchise is ALL about Joel and Ellie. Why take him away in such a cheap, brutal way by that murderer, not a good decision. It was done in such a crass way. It is so nonsensical too in that it bears no ties to the first game at all, and Joel & Ellie don't even communicate! It makes me so mad the way they let Joel down in making him and Tommy come across stupid as to give their names and hometown to the gang. It's a total injustice. It feels like the very short time we see Joel, he's just an unknown background character, not the huge leading icon of the game he is. Very strange what you've done to these characters. Ellie didn't even have a kind word to say as Joel died, despite the fact she loves him like a father.

    The bond, humour and love was always the treat to the gamer to watch between Joel & Ellie. It feels like a weird liberal agenda of lgbt and feminism shoved down our throats, than it paying respect to our Joel & Ellie's journey. Games are to escape from the dreariness of the modern world..

    They built up hype all this this time around Joel and him coming to rescue Ellie once more and it was built on a lie! the lowest of the low. They wanted to 'shock' your audience, but instead disrespected and showed plain dishonour towards a monumentally huge fanbase around the world, to Joel.

    Joel and Ellie are the soul of The Last Of Us.

    When we first watched him playing his guitar and singing to Ellie, I was in a flood of tears it moved me so much I literally was so excited to see their new ventures together. That was the absolute best part, beautifully done you could feel it in your soul. I haven't even picked up this game since Joel died i'm just so disappointed. I'm so shocked Naughty Dog that you've completely ruined a world class, deeply loved game. When we got to Joel's house and saw the flowers adorned outside and Ellie's heart breaking cuddling his jacket with his scent on, I cried and this isn't how I wanted to feel when we all fell in love with Joel. I'm a nurse and have needed a happy escape during this pandemic in the world, all my friends laughed at how much I adore Joel and I was talking about my excitement getting to see him reunited with Ellie everyday for months before this came out. Now it's no happy escape at all and i'm angry.

    With a heavy heart, back to the wonderful original The Last Of us with our Joel & Ellie x original The Last of Us with our beloved Joel and Ellie.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I will blandly start with the pros and the cons:

    pros:
    amazing soundtrack
    stunning graphics (really pushed the jet engine in my PS4)
    fitting atmosphere
    really scary horror elements
    solid boss fights
    amazing flashbacks

    middleground:
    fluid gameplay

    cons:
    gamebreaking bugs
    introduction of shallow characters
    misshandling of tons of characters
    very basic run of the mill story
    deceptive trailers and interviews by the developers
    alteration of the first game's story, just so the current story can be justified
    still really dumb ai and not enough use of new elements (-> the dogs)
    finale was unsatisfactory

    This leads me to a score of 4/10. Now remember, I write this from a perspective of a player, that has enjoyed the previous game. As a standalone game, without knowing anything about TLOU, TLOU2 deserves 2 points more in my opinion.
    My review won't have much of a structure, it's not a classic review. It's rather about random things that come to mind, while trying to adress each and every one of those points. I will most definitely forget to adress some things. Bear in mind that I am no professional reviewer.

    So let's start with the good things... The game looks stunning! There isn't really that much to add. Naughty Dog really has pulled everything out of the PS4s repertoire, so much that you even experience (very very few) framedrops, which don't really bother me that much tbh, since the last of us is no competitive shooter. The whole presentation is amazing and really gives you apocalyptic vibes. Good apocalyptic vibes, because even though the game plays after the downfall of humanity, its still so vibrant and detailed. It gives it such a nice atmosphere, every locations is a stunner, it overloads your senses to the point where it's nearly overstimulating. Same goes for the music. It underlines everything that's good about the appearance and amplifies it tenfold. It also added to the "horror" aspect of the game. Yes I know, it isn't a horror game per se, but the dread you felt throughout encounters in a big rotten and empty city were just chilling. You were always on edge, especially since every non-human encounter was very unpredictable. Now we get to the bossfights, which also were a stregth of the game. they were perfectly stage, they felt heavy and "plastic" and they were challenging.
    Now this sounds all good and fine and it seems that the last of us II is a perfect continuation to the beloved first adventure. However Appearance and playability isn't everything. The most important aspect of TLOU was it's characters, it's story, the relationship you have formed. None of that is good in the second game. None. Naughty dog introduced a bunch of new characters, at least half of them were treated as NPCs. Once they died an unspectacular death, they have been simply forgotten -> Jesse and Manny. Most act absolutely irrational, as our beloved "protagonist" and his brother. Joel and Tommy had the strongest downgrade in rationality, considering they still live in a post apocalyptic world. They treated an armed group of people seemingly as acquaintances, being incredibly relaxed and giving out info about themselves. Info that inevitably lead to Joel's death by a golf club (which is quite funny since they implied - Trailer and Interview - that Joel would be a longer part of this game). All that, because NPCs daughter, Abby, (the murderer) from the first game wanted revenge. Yes, that is essentially the whole plot. Yet another badly written revenge story. The character you played throughout the first game, just dies an incredibly stupid, undeserved and unspectacular death, so naughty dog can introduce their boring revenge story trope and a very boring (Antagonist). I wrote antagonist like that, because Abby isn't really portrayed as Antagonist, but a protagonist of her own story now. You have to play with the Joel replacement and you get gaslighted into feeling compassion for her: Her playing cutely with dogs, giving some flashbacks regarding her father's death. Also... regarding father's death: To make the story work, naughty dog changed some things from the first game's plot. They completely changed the doctor's ethnicity from african american to white american. I have absolutely no idea why. Then they started to feed you the narrative that Ellie was a guaranteed cure, even though she wasn't. They essentially changed parts of TLOU1 to make their fanfiction-tier story in TLOU2 work. Then they created this artificial infighting between Abby and Joel, because HE prevented HER death and hence HE risked the lifes of thousands of people.
    I felt no sympathy for Abby whatsoever btw. The story felt forced and the game merely used TLOU1 as a stepping stone for their entirely new setup.
    Now to the finale... Ellie has fought through hundreds of people to get to Abby, the final fight occurs and what happens? Nothing, she lets her go. Bravo!
    The only good things were the Ellie and Joel flashbacks

    DISAPPOINTING. I made an account just to give this game a review. How could they go from such a good first game to such terrible second game. The graphics were ok. The pacing was terrible. The gameplay was ok. The story was GOD AWFUL. The story was so bad I wanted to just stop playing. I’m actually mad I even wasted my time finishing this game. Going to try and get a refund.

    I aint even gonna spoil the game but how certain characters die is just **** can someone go to the ends of the world for revenge to lose everything in the mist of doing it and not go through with it doesn’t make sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great graphics, Don't like LGBT shoved down my throat. I compare that to having a religious view shoved down my throat. Story is blah. Really what were they thinking. TV commercials showed more of Joel so I thought he was in at least most of the game. Glad I didn't but this. Kinda gory, but I'm not squeamish. Expand

    joel's death is nothing. But whole story is none sense. Don't do it. You gotta hate yourself for playing this game.

    The 1st Last of Us only had one exceptional thing, which was a compelling story. Other elements were not revolutionizing but done correctly. The 2nd iteration lost the only thing the franchise had (the story) . Now I think this is comparable to GoT ending i.e horrible

    So .. first they ruined the movie industry by introducing "diversity" because "the peoples" asked so.. now they are doing the same with games ? I havent watched a movie produced in US for almost 3 years now .. since they became junk.. I sure hope no other games company follows their example.

    P.S: How much did they pay the critics ?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty dog forcing you to play with Abby and trying to kill Ellie makes me wanna cry. I always loved this game, i've waited for 7 years and naughty dog just killed all the sense of justice. We have never asked for a philosophy lesson, we wanted a revenge against a relentless villain with an epic ending Expand

    You must play this game in order to fight for feminism, etc.
    and put Sargsyan for the director and you will be 10/10

    Horrible game, even more so if you actually played the first part. Played for 2 hrs, can't take this s**t any more. Naughty Dog, thank you for ruining a fantastic story.

    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]
