    Not a good game. Story is boring characters are unlikable and gameplay is pretty much the same as the first one only slightly more polished. Just play the first one.

    Shameful display of character and story ruining. The graphics and gameplay are nothing special compared to other games. The story, being the main part of this game, is a joke and garbage. neil **** definitely thought he would impress anita with this hot garbage. Never purchasing anything from this company again. Would give a negative score if possible.

    The game is an offense to fans, as they have completely reversed the characters' personality and conduct in addition to humiliating the protagonists. Shamelessly with ideological and political bias. A total mess.

There were always so many rumours of joel dieing and how it played out was brutal but i could go with it, it built the storey for ellies adventure... so after such a massive shock you are now 100% invested in ellie... so why the f**k break that and go totally off the reservation to play as abby... just baffles me! Stunning game visually, level design, music etc all 10/10!! If it wasn’t for the unbelievably poor writing and story lets this game down! Im now forced to play as the character i have no investment in and would rather see eaten by a clicker! Post completion doesn’t change my mind, the story structure is all over the place, actually sad and disappointing from a developer of the caliber of ND.… Expand

    Yep, I guess these things happen.

    I am sad to say this but I did not like this game, from a technical point of view the game is very good, the tech/art team did a great job and the accessibility options they included should set a precedent for upcoming titles. The gameplay is good, similar to TLOU1, however, I found the plot, the message, and the character development cheap and tiring.    Yep, I guess these things happen.

The gameplay is good, similar to TLOU1, however, I found the plot, the message, and the character development cheap and tiring. This game feels awkward and at times even boring, maybe due to poorly developed characters combined with a linear story and repetitive combat scenarios, at least for a 20+ hours journey. Many of the characters dialogues felt disconnected from the multiple shocking events that were presented to the player. In my personal experience, the game tried to push some feelings so hard that they ultimately lost me. In the end, instead of being immersed in the universe, I was more like, oh look here the writers are using these tricks to make me empathize with this one character as opposed to this character who is doing this other thing…there is a lot of plot armor and is hard to ignore. Moreover, there is a new character who basically has a very similar arc than TLOU1, which is ok but this is done in a pushy, rushed way and at least for me it did not work. It is interesting how I went from caring about the people in this universe to being completely disconnected, and now I just don’t care what will happen to them. I think if this were a TV series, that you can leave it on the background while doing some other activity is ok, but as a game that requires almost all of your attention its a waste of time. Maybe the writers were trying to do some kind of ‘social experiment’ because It is hard to believe that no-one pointed out the flaws during the production stages. However, I do not know if having such a polarized reception and making a game to shock and promote hate is something to be proud of.

    I loved the story of TLOU1 because I found it fresh compared to other post-apocalyptic worlds (e.g., the walking dead). I think for someone that doesn’t care too much about story and consistency this is just a cliche plot, the gameplay is fine. If TLOU1 has a special place in your heart, I would recommend to not buy this game without reading more about it, because the advertisement is kind of misleading and you can find yourself wasting your free time on an unpleasant experience. I think the best aspect of this game has been its progression from a tragedy to a comedy, the fact that many people overcome this kind of disbelief together and ended up laughing about it and letting it go, better titles will come. In my opinion, this game is to be bought on sale price and a reminder that sometimes preordering may not be the smartest decision.    … Expand

All theThis game is so beautiful, just want to praise the art direction and all the attention to detail that the team had to every subject, its almost like anywhere you are, you can go to photo mode and make a wallpaper. The story is extremely impactful and emotional, you can feel the pain of the characters just by the facial expression, Ashley, Troy and Laura are just incredible. All the narrative develops from what is going through Ellie’s mind, they try to make the player feel exactly what she feels, and it works perfectly. When she’s angry, you’re angry, when she is anxious, you’re anxious. No beloved characters are disrespected, whoever says that doesn't even tried to have the full experience.
    The main idea of the game is the conflict between empathy and the search for survival, with Ellie having to make very complicated choices, similar to Joel in the first game, the parallels of flashbacks with the present makes this evident. But we have to remember that Ellie is not Joel, she’ll try to do the same things that he did without resentment, almost mirroring his actions, but the way she will handle the consequences is what makes this game perfect.
    It makes me so sad that this game had so much hateful comments and got review bombed. Maybe if the community weren't so mainstream and it weren't a triple A it could be praised for the masterpiece it is. Just as games like Life is Strange, Detroit, and even the first Last of Us, it is molded by a tremendous narrative and great characters, and maybe some people are just not ready to experience a huge emotional and realistic point of view. Even though I still think that this people didn't played the game or are just finding reasons to dislike the game to support their prejudice. Claiming that this game has poor writing, awful characters, LGBTQ+ propaganda and its made for SJW is such a shallow and terrible statement to do.    … Expand

The Last of Us and Left Behind expansion was a shooter game with decent zombie outbreak theme. There is tons of games out there with that, but what this game did better than those was story telling. It wasn't a masterpiece, unlike most of the people says - the tie between Joel and Ellie developed slowly and once it should be strengthened, it happened instantly. Nothing can be perfect, I know but a masterpiece shouldn't have problems like that - especially when it's main focus is story telling. Aside that, game was just a shooter, with optional stealth if you want. Believe me, there is tons of games does that part even better. There was puzzles, and they were boring because set on moving a platform a lot.

    I really tried to avoid spoilers even with the first game, so here's what's about the Part II. Storytelling is awful. Only good thing I say about story is how it's presented and some of the characters are lovable. Aside from that, there is tons of plot-holes, unnatural behaviours, lazy writing and inconsistency. Once you completely finish the game, I think developers want you have a bitter taste but hell, you get a stale taste and say why those people done this? and most likely why critics gave this 10/10? I'll not give any spoilers, but imagine whole story development and character's life choices doesn't even matter in the end. Unlike Part II, the whole story development was key point in the finale of the first game.

    Gameplay is almost identical, with smooth improvements and better AI. Sound design? Awesome. Musics, decent enough. Graphics? I expect more tbh, especially from a Sony Exclusive game.

    Let's talk about politics, game isn't fully loaded with LGBTQ+ but sometimes the privileges given on "that one" character will bore you. Unlike most of the other people, I played Left Behind and I know Ellie is lesbian. I'm a crossdresser as well, so consider it came from a "non-binary". The problem isn't representing it, the problem is making one character overrated, who represents that culture.

    Well, seems like the score I give is only and ONLY for game engineering and like I've said it's not something truly unique. If the main focus is story of the game, it should impact scoring more than other games. 4/5 is for simple, enjoyable gameplay and good voice design. Musics and graphics are not that much of good so they doesn't impact rating for good or bad. Story and character development - literally zero/5.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For a game that's longer than half a decade in anticipation, it tries to shoot a lot of shots the previous game didn't and fails at all of them. That said, there is a handful of great moments but they are few and far in between, certainly not enough to justify a big 60$ game from a big AAA dev. In fact, a lot of these moments are almost exclusively the flashback sequences, which try to break apart the development of Joel's and Ellie's relationship and it's consequent collapse following the end of the first game and the events leading up to this one. The first hour seems quite promising, but the second and third hours of gameplay break that quality apart faster than Outbreak Day did Last of Us America.

    A story driven game uses the concept of amazing storytelling to make up what it doesn't have or otherwise lacks in gameplay. The thing is; they forgot to make the storytelling actually good.

    It is clear Naughty Dog tried to make the underlying theme about how revenge doesn't pay off, but almost nothing about the way the characters act makes you want to do nothing else but drive a bullet into their heads one at a time.

    The devs have made the characters jump to illogical choices on a dime, often for what seems no other reason than to work into the game for the sake of convenience in telling the story.

    Joel in the first game was made up to be the type of guy who'd quite literally die before trusting himself to a complete stranger, and within the first two hours of the game not only does he trust himself to a stranger, but he trusts an entire group of strangers with both his and his brothers name, not even 2 minutes into being in the same room as them.

    Other illogical choices include a handful of rather shallow pieces of romance dialogue that spontaneously spawn make out scenes which sometimes evolve into full blown sex. I'm aware that the game is rated M for mature, but dear God do they not happen at the most awkward times, featuring the most awkward random dialogue and at moments so convenient the developers might as well have written them off as some sort of low effort fanfiction. They feel way out of place; it'd be on par with God of War 4 starting off on a sex scene that depicts Kratos making Atreus because he becomes high on weed and refers to Atreus' mother as "cute". That's literally the kind of "romance" that happens in this game.

    But the most illogical choice of them all comes from the devs themselves: Ellie embarks on a crusade lasting multiple weeks, going through the entire combined militia force of the very same group that not only tortured and killed Joel in front of her own eyes, but openly mocked his death in front of her once she goes on to pursue them all for the injustice done on Joel. She is ready to kill, torture and push through an insanely well manned and well armed force to get to Joel's murderer, and what does she decide to do? Spare his killer at the very end. In fact, Abby kills a lot more people close to Ellie than just Joel. Still, she let's her live.

    Granted Ellie butchers her way through everyone Abby (Joel's killer... no, Joel's *murderer*) knows, but whereas Abby seeks a personal vendetta against Joel and Joel alone, her friends do not shy away from showing murderous intent upon Ellie, and in extent her whole group against absolutely anyone outside it. Abby's group, the WLF, are extremely isolationist and would shoot anyone on sight, whether or not they're surrendering and whether or not they mean no harm at all.

    The game is split into levels where you play as Ellie and parts where you play as Abby, but where Ellie's levels involve going from one place to another in search of Abby to enact revenge upon, the entirety of Abby's levels focus on the victimization of herself and all her friends for the actions that Joel did in the past and those that Ellie does, as if they're both some sort of monsters who have killed with no regard for the value of life.

    Yeah, obviously making a group of people who kill on sight appear more human doesn't work well.

    The Abby levels are suppose to make you feel more bad for them, but in reality no amount of backstory and no amount of sob stories is going to make you /not/ want to kill them. That would make the hunt for Abby that Ellie spends months on worthless right? They're cold blooded killers and nothing can put them in a positive light.

    Well Ellie disagrees. As I've stated before, Ellie pretty much let's Abby go because killing is bad, and you shouldn't kill, not even if that person quite literally killed your friends, your loved ones and the closest thing you've had to a father figure right? Going back to the God of War comparison again, imagine if after climbing to the top of Mount Olympus and killing everyone, Kratos just came to Zeus and said "Okay let's be friends now". That is exactly what happens in this game.

    The game has nothing going for it but graphics.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1. Graphics and combat/controls are actually really good. Same with acting; these departments shine when compared with... the rest. 2. Story is actually terrible and the characters make choices that they would not make. These new devs clearly don’t care about the old protagonists and just wanted to do their own thing. 3. Killing off Joel and then making the player play a character they hate for 10 hours is just about the worst development choice I can think of. AND making you attack the protagonist with a character everyone hates! What?!

    4. The “revenge is bad” trope doesn’t work at all because the people who do get revenge get off scot-free while Ellie (who does not get revenge) loses her fingers, girlfriend (?) and kid. 5. I’m fine with the sjw stuff in most games, but it is VERY clear that the new devs shoehorned in as many minorities they could. This becomes apparent when you find out who worked on this game and not the first. The main problem with this it is an easy cop-out for people complaining about legitimate reasons. Already you see articles popping up about “review bombing” from the “evil gamers”. No, the story is **** and the devs are hiding behind a wall of identity politics.

    6. Compared with the first, (no exaggeration) this is the worst fall in storytelling I have ever seen. Even the Star Wars sequels weren’t this bad. 7. Perhaps the seediest thing I have seen the Naughty Dog do is OBVIOUSLY pay/give benefits to “professional reviewers.” There is no way in hell that this many reviewers gave 10/10s when the fanbase hates the game this much. I have lost a ton of respect for both Naughty Dog and these game journalists. Conclusion: 5/10. Pros: Graphics are great! Acting is great! Gameplay is the same as the first!
    Ellie flashbacks are bittersweet but well made (because no Abby)

    Cons:
    Bad story
    Killing Joel in a disingenuous way
    Playing as Abby Terrible ending
    Pointless minority pandering

    Overall, probably the most disappointing game I have ever played. I am truly let down, especially with all the resources Naughty Dog had. 7 years and a killer first game. DO NOT PLAY, I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS CANON. TLOU ENDS AT THE END OF THE FIRST    … Expand

    O jogo se passa 4 anos após o primeiro, sendo continuação direta, nele vemos uma ellie mais adulta vivendo com Joel em Jackson, cidade a qual o jogador encontra no primeiro jogo, uma personagem chamada Abby mata Joel por vingança, Ellie mata todos os seus amigos e no final luta com Abby, no momento em que Ellie iria matar ela se lembra de Joel e vê em Abby um "Joel e Ellie" já que Abby estava cuidando de uma criança, acho que é por este final que deram notas baixas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very ambitious piece of work from one of the best companies in the gaming business.

    It takes gameplay elements from the first game, adds some of Uncharted 4's flair and raises them both to a new level of realistic movement and combat.
    The motion capture, voice acting, audio and scripted action are exactly what you've come to expect from a Naughty Dog title.

    Graphics are up there with the best of this generation. Weather elements are particularly well done and really help realise the hostile atmosphere they were going for. Enemy's are highly detailed and this makes the combat even more brutal than the first game.

    The story seems to have divided opinion but on closer inspection, this is clearly salty gamers who haven't played the game, but read the spoilers and are trying to make their 0 star review seem realistic. On top of this you have the homo-phobic, trans-phobic community desperately trying to make this game fail for having a muscular woman and a gay woman as the playable characters.

    There is absolutely no same minded person who would play this and give it a 0, especially if as they say, the story is the only part they hated. Just like any sane fan of the first game knows Joel wasn't a hero. Even if you genuinely hated the story twists, the other aspects of the game would make it at least a 6/10. But that doesn't drag the score down enough - so 0 star reviews it is!

    My personal take on the story - I feel like the message would have worked better if Ellie had gone through with the killing.
    She'd still have lost her fingers and with it her last link to Joel - thus showing her that revenge won't change the past and she lost everything she still had chasing it.

    I also felt it was a genius twist to force us to pay as the antagonist. Seeing things from her perspective, learning about her own good and bad traits, and her motivation for wanting to find and murder Joel.
    We also see Abby once again rescued by a sworn enemy, but instead this time she vows to help them in any way possible. Clearly showing that her thirst for revenge has left her questioning her own moral choices and needing to redeem herself with a selfless act.

    This even caused some players to end up rooting for Abby by the end. Clearly not the terrible story line some try and pretend it is.    … Expand

    As for the combat it's slight improvements don't define the game either, but that's just because this is a story driven game. It's nothing special, has a few exciting moments a few boring moments. It's more about personal preference than anything. I personally didn't like it because I prefer my enemy AI to feel at least slightly human.
    As for the story...
    I hated it, as someone who has enjoyed stories that look into the human condition, this really saddens me. Every character's personality and characteristics get messed with so often just to fit neatly into the story the writers want to tell in the way they wanted to tell it that at some point they stopped feeling like people and just puppets. The game focuses on ethics but only with characters important to the story, you will shoot, murder, and kill your way through dozens of people who are probably fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers but the story only cares about the one featured in a cutscene.

    Same goes for graphics, absolutely no complaint in that department.

    Now the story seems to be the thing most negative reviews focus on, so hear this. This game is very dark. It is by no means a feel good game, and it never claims or tries to be. It will make you feel sad, it will make you feel very angry, and it will make you fell confused at times. This is not some brainless story where the hero is always right and the villain is always wrong, and hero beats villain and lives happily ever after. This game deals with morality, forgiveness, anger, and regret. I will say it again, it is not supposed to make you feel happy. You are not supposed to like all the characters, they are not perfect people and they do very bad things, but also some very good things. The ending is a lot like the ending of an art movie, it leaves a lot of things for you to think about and debate with yourself about. I will say this once more and stop writing. It is not meant to make you happy and satisfied. If this game makes you talk and debate about it, then it probably made you feel how the devs wanted you to. And I think that is absolutely perfect.

This game is a POOR sequel to a beautiful story. If you're thinking about playing, reading or watching through the story, don't. For the Last of Us franchise, in this entry's case, ignorance is bliss.

    I avoided spoilers and played the game, the moment I finished the game, I was sad. I tried to convince myself that the game was actually good and that was why I was sad. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I was lying to myself. I was jaded because I realized we lost what could have been, the potential squandered. This game didn't need to exist, in fact it detracts from the first one because now you know what happens, every time I think of The Last of Us part 1, my nostalgia is interrupted by a wave of resentment for what happens next in the installment. This. Game. Didn't. Need. To. Be. Made. I've never regretted playing a video game, usually I become wistful and remember all the fun I had, wishing I could forget and replay it again. In this case, I regret playing it at all. Gone are the heartwarming moments from the first game, gone are the character developments made, replaced by hours of just purely exhaustive violence, I love a good blood splat but damn this game drags it out for so long without a break.

    Characters are built partway only to be killed and the emotional consequence of their death is explained 8-7 hours later, but by that point the player doesn't care because A. I've brutally killed hundreds of these enemies and B. it was such a long time ago, I don't even remember why they were significant. The revenge plot is handled poorly, even Destiny 2, known for it's mediocre story, the Destiny 2 Forsaken DLC had a better revenge plot and a better send off for the beloved character that was killed. Now that I think about it, the Last Of Us 2 has the almost exact same premise as Forsaken even down to the "Revenge has consequences" theme. It's sad that Neil Druckmann won't acknowledge criticism and instead is making fun of people like me. He is touting this game as "art". However, slapping an "art" label on something doesn't mean it should automatically be revered, art can be bad and in this case I truly think it is. I wish Naughty Dog released a DLC that's just a 20 second scene, with Ellie waking up from a nightmare and saying "huh thank god it was just a dream", because then ND would have a shot of remaking it into something incredible. Sadly, that won't happen. This game is video game's equivalent to Game of Thrones Season 8.

    I'm getting tired of my favorite mediums of entertainment being hijacked and turned into a means to push a political agenda. Yes this game does that too, I have no ill will towards women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and the majority of players don't either. The popularity around Games such as Horizon Zero Dawn, the Resident Evil series, hell even the Uncharted series and the first Last Of Us proves that. Just because we don't like this specific medium that incorporates these elements, doesn't mean we're bigots and it's not a valid justification for why the story was poorly made. My favorite character in the game was a member of these groups and his story was compelling. Games are mediums through which the player can escape reality, if you're going to shove in your political ideology and agenda, you have to make that person's story as compelling as everyone else's and not let it be their defining trait, If anything it does a disservice to people it is meant to represent. This is show not tell 101.

    If you want a heartfelt story about a parental figure and the moral ambiguities about your character's actions, play God of War or the first Last of Us. If you want a story that tells an underlying story about the pitfalls of revenge and people trying to better themselves through struggle, play Red Dead Redemption 2. If you want to remember The Last of Us as a good story, don't play this one, it leaves you tired with a foul taste in your mouth. Ironic that this story is about loss and I too have felt loss, just not in the way ND intended.    … Expand

Regardless, Part 2 is a chore to go through, and is especially bad since it follows up one of my favorite games of all time. Honestly, the game may have been better-received if it were a stand-alone title. It would still be a bad game, but at least it wouldn't be compared to the masterpiece the first game was (and is).

The story is breathtaking, every character has their own unique personality, and the character development is nearly perfect. I've seen many reviews of people saying that Neil Druckmann didn't stay true to the characters. This is wildly inaccurate.

    Trauma has shaped certain decisions of characters in the game and the writers make it feel very realistic. This Naughty Dog project was very ambitious and they took a risk on telling the story that they did. This is not a game that contains the same kind of story as the first one. We get the characters that we love but we play a brand new story. Yes, we lose some characters that we love, some sooner than most fans would have wanted. However, this is a plot based on revenge. How is the game supposed to start without a motive for this kind of plot?

    The game stays true to the characters, the game has brilliant story telling that will keep you at the end of your seat and ensure that your controller is covered in sweat. The ending is controversial, that much is true. I was upset at first but after thinking of the characters involved and how their choices were influenced, the ending is justified.

    Play this game if you love plots and characters that drive the story of this world forward. Play this game if you want to experience something that will grip you and touch your emotions. Don't play this game if you want a copy and paste of the first game, you'll be very disappointed. I apologize for the long review, I tried to cut it down as short as possible pertaining to all that I had to say.    … Expand

The graphics are great and the gameplay is good, but thats not why I, and many other people, bought this game. Joel dies in such a wasted manner, and so many characters also just kind of die.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First I want to say I have played this game and its entirety, so this is my honest thoughts on the game.

    Likes:
    - The Graphics are amazing like we all new they would be.
    - The voice and Audio in the game is also amazing
    - animations are some of the best I've seen in recent years
    Cons
    - They story leaves a lot to be desired ( I'll give more detail below)
    - Game play is the same from 2013 with a few tweaks here and there
    - For a story game it's extremely linear in how you play the story with no option of differentiation
    - Most Characters are dull and uninteresting i.e ( Abby, Lev, jesse, dina, owen, mel)
    - Game seems to force a lot of progressiveness all at once to the player
    - I had no urge to ever want to replay this game or even watch this game again.
    - Character development is almost non existent

    Summary: I don't want to sound like I'm ranting but this game was really awful to play and I don't say that because a MC died that I liked. I say that because the Story isn't fluid and jumps around to much between the characters Abby and Ellie. Furthermore the plot of this story is one of revenge which is fine if executed correctly. Unfortunately this story is not one of them, as your forced to play as a character that you, the player want to get revenge against. Then your forced feed flash backs of their life so that you can pity them which at this point is impossible because of who they killed just mins prior to playing them. Then when you switch back to the character you want to play as and start hunting down abby, they suddenly have a change of heart while killing them. Which leads to abby leaving and escaping victorious in her mission of revenge.

    ND tried to be to complex and to progress with this story which I think bit them in the ass because the writing did not live up to anything. It left me as a player in a state of why did I spend money on this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Мне максимально не нравится то, что они сделали. Убили главного героя в самом начале игры - даже ничего не объясняя. Убивают еще одного близкого компаньона. Зачем так делать? Механики и геймплейные моменты ничего нового не принесли. Никаких красивых видов нет (Я видел пейзажи в разы лучше в играх 2005-2015 годов). И как же бесит это бесконечное ЛГБТ и феминизм. В игре доминирующая масса нпс и персонажей - женщины. Главную героиню сделали лесбиянкой и подают это в агрессивной пропаганде. Это выглядит ужасно и мне очень не приятно наблюдать за подобным. Можно было вполне обоснованно свести в линии Элли с Томми - они могли мстить вместе, была бы какая-никакая атмосфера первой части - два компаньона с вполне понятной связью, но нет - нужно ввести ЛГБТ персонажа, с которым абсолютно ничего разумного нет. Я уже ощущаю, что происходит ущемление "базовой" ориентации в играх и фильмах - хочется видеть эту привычную нормальность, а нам все толкают эти "меньшинства", которые уже реально достали. Это к вопросу о сюжете. Прокачка в игре тоже хромает - оружие качается по одной линии, навыки качаются линейно и без одного ты не откроешь другого - даже если тебе даром не сдался навык, ты будешь его качать, чтобы получить чертовы +20% ко здоровью. Искусственный интеллект ужасен - компаньона не видят зомби, если мертвец агрился на тебя, а союзник стоит рядом с ним, зомби бежит на тебя, а товарища не тронет. Союзник попадает примерно в 20% случаев, явно учился у имперских штурмовиков. И это в условиях апокалипсиса и дефицита ресурсов, патронов. Ага. Игра мне не понравилась и я не рекомендую никому тратить на нее время и деньги. Лучше переиграть в первую часть. Один балл за симулятор гитары в начале игры, это было прикольно.… Expand

    Was a huge fan of the original story. Though to be honest, I only played it through once as I wasn't really into the mechanics of the game-play. As you could imagine then, I was only invested in seeing how this fictional world and the characters within it would develop in the sequel (whilst trying to avoid the spoilers of course).
    Here's my takeaway after experiencing this lengthy game:    Was a huge fan of the original story.

    Here's my takeaway after experiencing this lengthy game: ND focused on furthering the dystopian angle together with a revenge-based plot driver, which sounds like the makings of a very compelling and tense game on paper. However, without balancing it with any humanity from any of its characters, the world just feels like a hollow sandbox for clickers, dog murderers and bigots with the central characters feeling artificial because their personalities and actions are just ticking boxes instead of driving a compelling story.
    It's a real shame, but I just can't score this above a 4 as it just didn't work for me as a story. Full credits to the design and software teams behind it though, who created a super-high quality graphical experience! I heard that people who work at ND are treated inhumanely during the crunch period, so they deserve much much more than this for their talents!    … Expand

There's a lot of detail in this game I'm frankly impressed the PS4 can handle it while staying relatively quiet. The audio in the game is also note-worthy. It has plenty of options to tune to your exact setup and sounds brilliant under any of them (assuming you're using the right settings). As does the difficulty settings. Players will be able to choose their exact preferred play through to suit their style. Now let's get onto what's not so great. I will also be ignoring all the "SJW" stuff people are choosing to complain about as I've finished the game and that is frankly not what I find wrong about this game in any sense.

    The game starts out, with a really strange vibe to it. It takes a bit of time to settle into itself, but before it can ND thrusts you into a scene which majorly increases the plot pacing. Now, dialogue between characters after this still feels off. The characters aren't giving off any vibes to justify the actions they take against their own word in the slightest, and previous writing of these characters goes out the window a little. After a few hours in the game starts getting interesting as you play as Ellie moving through the world. The refined crafting is nice and the addition of prone is welcome, With the better graphics and animations and how dense ND has packed these environments you can easily get lost exploring when given the opportunity. The engagements have more options than the first one, feel wider and still makes the player think. However. ND clearly goes out of their way to write things in a pace that puts the characters at odds in terms of how interesting their content is. Ellie on one hand, never learns from any of her encounters and the same twists begin to occur. The writers consistently put her and the player in situations that are out of their hands and just forces the player to watch pretty horrible events that would have, in my opinion. Gone down different if Ellie was a similar person she was made out to be in the first game. Her enviroments also change less, during her 2 segments, Ellie is either in one, or the other kind of environment. Where as Abby gets to see more diverse scenery. Then on the other hand, they try their hardest to put Abby in situations that are all nice and loving, and making her look like a good person. However, their reactions to events tell completely different stories. The game seems to punish the player for actions it takes out of their hands and takes away emotional moments from the player at other key times, which further disconnects them from the story. The timing of the story is very off, with constant flashbacks at weird moments or flashbacks that don't entirely add much to the story. From playing 2 perspectives over 3 days and then skipping forward again to play 2 perspectives from a different time in the not so far future.

    The game attempts to do a lot that, it frankly doesn't deserve because it hasn't earned that with the player. A lot of these moments where they attempt to pull on the strings of the player seemingly is washed away in comparison to the scene at the start of the game and the player is often left with what is obviously a different than intended reaction. Characters are entirely not likeable, or only slightly likeable. And most likely will be killed off before you even start warming to them or properly getting to understand the relationships that have been built in between the time we've been gone. The game does very little to actually unravel those connections between people to the player. I found moments in the game where I kind of forgot I was playing a Last of Us game and, that to me was not a good thing, I was starting to detach completely and the story wasn't doing much of anything to win me back. Towards the end of the game, I was seriously struggling to force myself to finish it. When I finally did. It felt empty. That ultimately i learned nothing, experienced nothing new and it seemed like how it would feel if your friend tried to do a skid while he was drunk and crashed his car. Does it look spectacular? Of course. Worth anything? Not at all.

    The AI is barely a step up if at all however, here and there we see marked improvements but that's probably mostly coming from the couple of new mechanics, including prone and jump for the access to extra verticality where available. The game is an impressive technical feat when it comes to graphics, sound, animation and environmental work. However, the environments are not "big" by todays standards. That's okay, because they're well crafted, thought out and they look gorgeous. But, ultimately. A game comes down to a lot more than how it looks. If nothing but the graphics and audio has improved. And with the story attached to this game, and writing that feels even barely attached to the game. I can only mark it a 3.

    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]
