    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A story that pulls you in many directions. Everyone is a hero in their own story and every story has villains. This game reminds us that we can all be villains in someone else’s story. Gameplay and visuals of this game are also both amazing. Every play through I learn a new combo or see a new detail. Very well crafted all around.… Expand

The new cast is just unrelatable, and eaven if i was forced to empathise with them and see what they expirienced it was still badly paced andblring or done just for the plot. I tried to like them but it felt very one sided (ellie bad/abby good) and forced.
    The game had potential, the gameplay was good and the grafics are amazing but being a narrative drven Game it does not cut it.

    Also the game promised a lot of things falsley to add and it never delivered any.

    Can compare it o got season 8 or the last starwars trilogy.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In a lot of the criticism I read of Part II, I see a lot of people saying that the ending should’ve involved Ellie killing Abby, or a choice for the player whether to do so. In my opinion, either of these endings would’ve fundamentally gone against what I believe the writers’ intentions were in telling the story the way it was told, and undermined the entirety of the rest of the game.

    This game is about forgiveness. Everything that happens in the game culminates in the moment Ellie remembers Joel on the porch as she’s holding Abby underwater, in the same way that everything in the first game culminates in Ellie final ‘okay’. For me, when Ellie chooses not to go through with the vengeance, it was like a pressure relief valve was finally opened, releasing all the tension the game had built up between Ellie and Joel, Ellie and Abby, and Ellie and herself. In that small moment, Ellie finally opened herself up to at least the possibility of forgiving Joel for what he did to her (which we explore through the flashbacks), of forgiving Abby for what she did to Joel (which the game attempts to make the player themselves do through the second half of the game), and of forgiving herself for how she treated Joel after he told her the truth, the guilt associated with that, and the destructive and self destructive path she went down to hunt down Abby for taking Joel away from her, along with the ‘future days’ of reconciliation she envisioned between Joel and herself (which we see, and feel, in the first half of the game).

    All of the ways the game built up these layers of hate, guilt and, ultimately forgiveness within Ellie and the player would’ve been for nothing if Ellie simply kills Abby. Giving the player a choice about this would diminish the impact of the ending as much a choice between saving Ellie and humanity in the first game would’ve diminished the overpowering nature of Joel’s paternal love built up throughout that game.

    Ellie killing Abby would’ve been a truly grim, cynical, and nihilistic ending where Ellie really does end up with nothing left and completely alone, and would’ve turned it into the ‘revenge bad’ story a lot of this game’s critics claim that it currently is.

    My interpretation is that Ellie’s discovery of her own capacity for forgiveness is what drives her to keep going at the very end of the game. She’s holding on to the hope that Dina can also find the same intuition within herself to forgive Ellie for leaving their life on the farm.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cons:
    - story
    - character design
    - character development
    - plot holes

    So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad.
    The reason is: character development.
    If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her.
    I mean she KILLED Joel!
    How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel?
    Hell no!
    That is weak story telling. Really really weak.

    Then there are all the other new characters. Nobody is likeable. Like really. They all feel empty. They are only shells without any meaning.    … Expand

    The hatred towards this game is baffling. I finished it two days ago, and I've been thinking about the ending ever since. What this game achieves with its narrative is remarkable, and absolutely elevates games as art. Those who hate the game either:

    1. Dislike the disturbing nature of the narrative (just how "Hereditary" and "It Comes At Night" were hated due to their dark endings).    The hatred towards this game is baffling. I finished it two days ago, and I've been thinking about the ending ever since. What this game achieves with its narrative is remarkable, and absolutely elevates games as art. Those who hate the game either:

    1. Dislike the disturbing nature of the narrative (just how "Hereditary" and "It Comes At Night" were hated due to their dark endings). This response is valid and makes sense, as art is ultimately subjective. If you don't like dark stories that examine the demons in us all, this game isn't for you. It was designed to make the player profoundly disturbed, and inverse the typical protagonist/antagonist dynamic. If you like black and white morality with clearly defined good guys and bad guys, this ain't for you. That said, if you enjoy stories with a realistic portrayal of morality that dwells in the grey, you'll love this game. I know players who disliked the game because of how it made them feel, and that's okay. The fact they felt disturbed means that the game succeeded in its narrative.

    2. Certain individuals have taken issue with the LGBTQ representation. I'm no bigot, but I do find it annoying when "SWJ" agenda is pushed in movies and games in an unnatural way. I can confidently say that TLOU2's inclusion of LGBTQ characters does not feel forced at all; it makes sense within the context of the story. The game shows rather than tells. It isn't "woke" propaganda; it simply has gay/bisexual characters, and subtly examines the hardships faced by trans individuals. It isn't the central theme of the game; just ancillary subplots. If you think this game is woke propaganda, you should take a long look inward and question your prejudices.

    3. Some people seem to have recognized the goal of the narrative, but feel like it ultimately failed to achieve what it was meant to achieve. Some claim that the narrative falls flat due to ludo-narrative dissonance. All I can say to these people is that I disagree. It hit me like a ton of bricks emotionally, and perfectly stuck the landing. As for ludo-narrative dissonance, well, the game tries to minimize that by humanizing the countless people you slaughter with excellent AI, dialogue, and actual names (something I've never seen before in a game). All of Naughty Dogs games suffer from ludo-narrative dissonance, as do many of the best games every made. And no, the theme of the game is not revenge; vengeance is simply the channel used to explore the true themes of TLOU2 - hatred, empathy, morality, and the lurking demons within every human being. It encourages us to consider that our concepts of justice are subjective, and without empathy, we're liable to confuse justice with cruelty. It's a profound lesson that applies to nearly all forms of human conflict, from war to revenge. There are no good guys and bad guys, just people who think they're doing the right thing out of anger and apathy.

    From what I can tell, these 3 criticisms sum up the critical response of users. To be honest, even if the story had failed for me, I would have still adored the game due to its FANTASTIC gameplay (which shines most on the "Survivor" difficulty). The animations and AI are state of the art (possibly the best of this generation), gunplay & melee feel weighty and realistic, and the addition of prone plus increased verticality greatly enhance the stealth gameplay. It's one of the most immersive survival stealth games I've ever played, as it takes the strengths of the first game and perfecting them. If you enjoy survival games like Resident Evil and stealth games like Metal Gear Solid, you'll probably love TLOU2's gameplay.

    I have very few complaints. While the ending is superb, I think they could have fleshed out some of the secondary characters more effectively. Only Ellie and Abby have defined character arcs. They did a fine job with the time that they had, but I feel the game would have benefited from a few additional hours, during which we played as Tommy, Jesse, Dina, and Lev, as it would have strengthened our connection to these characters. In terms of gameplay, I wish you could slide from sprinting to crouching, and the jump mechanic could have been improved. I know I'm nitpicking with these, but it would have made traversal a bit more fluid. There should have been an additional difficulty option, as I think the player has too much health (even on Survivor). It would have been nice to have a realistic damage system where you can only take a couple bullets before dying (even better, the players injuries should correspond to where they were hit). Additionally, they should have incorporated non-lethal approaches towards combat. Such features would have reduced the ludo-narrative dissonance substantially.

    Outside of these minor complaints, the game is near perfect, and may exceed TLOU1. 10/10, don't let the haters scare you away.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand why people are angry with this game, but none of these 0-7 reviews are warranted. Giving this game anything below a 7 is silly. Giving this game anything below a 5 is objectively wrong.

    This game is lovingly crafted and polished down to the last pixel. The animations, graphics, environments, art direction, gameplay, music, sound design, acting, and storytelling are all lovingly crafted by people who clearly cared about making the best product they could.

    The story, particularly in relation to the original game, is the sole source of all the ire directed toward this game. I must stress that the story telling is top notch, it's just that the story Mr. Druckmann chose to tell is the problem.

    The game starts out promising enough, where you play as Joel riding on horseback toward a breathtakingly gorgeous view of Jackson in the distance. You and Tommy are out on the plains of Wyoming under a sunset while a sombre guitar rift gently yet strikingly plays. It's all incredibly perfect and really makes you feel that you're walking into something great. And it is great.

    Until Joel gets brutally murdered by a woman with the most freakishly bizarre character physique I've ever seen on a video game character.

    Everything regarding the narrative is kind of downhill from here. Ellie turns into a merciless killer on a quest for revenge, and the moment you are about to get it, you're suddenly FORCED TO PLAY AS THE BIZARRELY DESIGNED TESTOSTERONE-LADEN WOMAN WHO MURDERED JOEL, and you're forced to play as her for nearly half the game! I can only guess the reason they did this is to humanize her and make you feel some sort of compassion and understanding for her actions, but that's pretty hard to do considering that you didn't do this until AFTER she murdered the character we already spent an entire game playing as, learning to love him despite his objective faults. He was one of the most well developed, most human characters I've ever seen in fiction, and killing him off the way they did felt like a huge middle finger to everyone who loved the first game. And after all this, this lengthy revenge quest, you never actually get it, and are just left with a sad, unsatisfying ending where Ellie essentially loses everything. The most frustrating part of all of this is that the game is incredibly well made, so I cannot really hate it. I just kind of wish I'd never played it.

    It's all very sad and unrewarding and makes you wish they'd never made a sequel, because they shouldn't have. The absolute hands down highlights of this game are, ironically, the series of flashbacks you go through with Ellie and Joel from years past. There's one in particular where it's Ellie's Birthday and Joel takes her to an abandoned museum and well...it's heartwarming and just so damn perfect and great in every way, so much so that it pretty much made the game worth playing despite how much I loathed the ending.

    All I can say is this: if you liked the original game's story and cared about its characters, there's a very high likelihood you will not like this game, and I would recommend you steer clear of it, I know I wish I had. But it's nothing resembling a bad game, and it doesn't even come close to deserving all the negative user reviews here. I just wish they'd have taken the story in a different direction and handled Ellie and Joel's stories differently, and that's why I completely understand where all the negative reviews are coming from. But when you look at it for what it is, a video game, and how it plays, and how well it's made, there's really no justification for low scores.    … Expand

    Negatives

    » Less diverse gameplay which makes the experience very repetitive and downright boring after the first 15 hours of the game.

    » Absolutely terrible character development:
    - characters seem to take completely irrational decisions all the time for the sake of creating a story and nothing else;
    - characters are deprived from any emotion at all in all circumstances, which is a stark contrast to the first game. Not only that but characters that were part of the original TLOU have seemingly lost their whole personality and values, replacing them with one single goal of getting the petty and useless revenge that fuels the storyline;

    » Equally bad story:
    - it is filled with plot holes;
    - it has an incomprehensible ending, given the plot of the game before it;
    - it attempts to make the player rethink about the events of the first game with a new and negative vision but in a way that is seemingly guilt tripping the player itself for even playing said game and downright trying to decrease our enjoyment of the same title, for no apparent reason. It also adds nothing in return, making the player wish they had never played this sequel.
    - While trying to do what is mentioned in the above point, it introduces new characters but the timing for that is way off. For instance, 15 hours into the game, Naughty Dog makes you play as the very antagonists of the first part of this title, while also trying to make you emphasise with them. This falls flat, as it is near impossible to show empathy for this character after several occurrences throughout the story. Moreover, this part of the game is 10 hours long, feels completely expendable to the main storyline and makes you wish you weren't playing at all;
    - At all times, the story unravels with seemingly no end point other than making the player itself miserable, while hinting the responsibility of all the cruelty of that chaotic game to the player himself.

    Positives

    » On the bright side, it has the best visual effects you will find on PS4 - absolutely stunning.
    » It is also filled with lots of tiny and somewhat fun details, that are a welcome addition to this otherwise completely cruel world, and reflect the attention that was given to this game.

    However, all things considered, this game is disappointing. It captures the gameplay of the original but no element of that game's story is expanded upon, nor taken as inspiration.
    It doesn't feel like an actual sequel, while simultaneously ruining the magnificent open ending of the first TLOU, the characters we had learnt to love and our overall enjoyment of that first title.

    If they reconstructed the story (I don’t mean change anything that happened, but instead order it differently with slight tweaks) this game would be bloody fantastic. But they really did mess up the story and especially the ending. It was amazingly terrible in my opinion. But otherwise it’s amazing.

You know that already, monsters feel like dummies on loop patrol every 15 seconds, every area look way suspicious and too much designed to feel real. Its just the characters, the story, the length of their journey that is worth playing through and this is an awesome ps4 exclusive. Im not looking forward for a last of us part 3 though... They need to augment their sens of dread to have an intense game. Soundtrack this time was forgettable.… Expand

Negatives....2 or so hours in I was kind of angry. When the twist happens half way I was also a bit annoyed. But once her story line continued the game got better and better. (Right around when she was hung.) The two side characters (from Abby) also really made the game for me. The boss fights got better and the story became amazing. Truly an emotional experience that just kept going. Even when you think its over.....it keeps going. Solid A game. Hate it or not, its a game you must experience in length to truly get an opinion.

But once you play and see both sides of the story, if I was to put myself in their shoes I understand their motives. Felt very conflicted towards the end if I wanted Ellie to kill Abby or not, at the end I was ok with either or. Anyhow, love it or hate it is a very complex and detailed story that’s worth experiencing. Everything else in the game is amazing too; graphics, sound are among the best. Great gameplay but even though it might feel repetitive at times, the script is so vast that every encountered feels different as you progress through the story. Thought to be honest gameplay to me was a bit boring, but that’s because I suck at stealth, if I had more creativity I can see how that would been more fun, but I get spotted early on, chose a corner where I can’t be cornered and I blast them all away.

    Not an ideal story for a game, given the public's interaction with the piece, but could see it in a book or a TV show.

    Not an ideal story for a game, given the public's interaction with the piece, but could see it in a book or a TV show. It delivers on it's purpose, the message that vengeance is bad, but it's the wrong universe given the setup from the last game. A wild change of tone, one especially harmful for some gamers, since you have to play as the "opposite character", not just view from their perspective. I feel like the message was forced onto a story already well founded for a different type of message. Anyway felt like a lost opportunity for me.

    Character Development

    Background
    Regarding character development the first game presented Joel, a man surviving "apocalypse" while still struggling to forget his past, doing what he thought was correct based on his moral background by, amongst other decisions, not being able to trade Ellie for humanity; not a hero neither an antihero or a villain, just a man who had motives justified enough, builted during the whole game, to do what he did.

    Contrast
    Now, complaints about Part II shouldn’t be about the story development (despite you can dislike) rather the execution of it and how you justify the decisions of your characters and the progress of the story overall, which has been incohesive or, as I see it, motives to justify each character's decisions have not been shown in the game and are assumed as "time has passed" which is a cheap way to mask lack of funds to produce it or lack of talent or experience to deliver it. Therefore, to sell this as top quality product (and work of art) is not acceptable. Besides that, an advertising that hyped it’s public in a misleading way has also affected the public's expectations and, therefore, it’s reception.

    Gameplay

    Gameplay does not disappoint despite the frequent encounters with the same type of enemies with slight variations, and the excessive need of search for resources, thanks to the many tools given to the player. Despite including new features, like jump or prone position on characters, puzzles and areas that can be resolved in more varied ways, upgrades both to abilities and weapons, it does not bring too much to the table when compared to other games in the same genre. Minor bugs, the slow movement of the camera and other aspects may be an inconvenience from time to time but the amount of options regarding these and others aspects make up for them.

    Graphics

    As far as graphics go and given that this game is limited to consoles the performance sustains the amazing visuals without much effort and offers a view worthy of a background, with some exceptional moments when this quality drops slightly though not enough for the player to notice without a closer look into specific details, such as certain animations (jumping for example), a slight downgrade from the trailer in specific areas and very, very rare bugs.

    Sound
    Music, environment, sound effects and voice acting are flawless. Every line, every gunshot, every impact add a very heavy weight to immersion that is only eclipsed by these game’s reliance on story telling that drives you out of this world from time to time.

    Summarize

    Being a Story Based Driven Game it relies much more in writing quality than many other games; all pacing, narrative, character development, have a significant role in driving the player to interpretate the message below the cover. in this particular case ND have set for themselves a bar too high to reach for the sake of forcing one particular message into a universe not previously thought for it, into an audience that require a different type of narration than other types of media now a days (like novels, TV shows, movies, etc.). Despite the controversies surrounding this game in particular there is no denying that either due to their objective, marketing, writing, messages or all of these together this product and work of art is as far from being a masterpiece as it is from being a colossal disaster.

    My final reception of the game is 5.5/10 but I must settle on a 5 for this review scale.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A beautiful and tragic tale of what revenge and grieve does to people, I guess that would be the best way to describe it.

    On the technical side, is god damn masterpiece. Animation, environment art, character art, design and more. TLOU2 is the result of the most amazing artists, designers and programmers working in the industry right now, the best way to the end the PS4 era.

    On the story. *sigh* Here we go: I loved it. It made me angry, made me feel lust for revenge, made me happy, sad and much more. It was an emotional rollercoaster that made me stay on the edge of my seat the entire time.
    It is by no means a "happy ending" game which it what is making people angry! You love Joel and Ellie, you want them to succeed, to survive, to win, they are the protagonist after all. But ND showed us that this world is NOT like Uncharted. At the end of the day is a sad story and that is why is so beautiful, is not about "who wins", is about the characters and they nailed that. My appreciation for Joel and Ellie just wen through the roof and the way they handled the relationship between those two was really good. Also: TOMMY IS A BADASS

    Not all is gold of course. My biggest issues are pacing in gameplay and in the storytelling:
    In gameplay:n it feels anything when you have played and upgraded Ellie for so much, to suddenly change to Abby and start all over again, no upgrades whatsoever. It feels a big stop to momentum.

    In storytelling: Abby's relationship with her father is not explored AT ALL which makes no sense to me since that would have been a better way for us as players to connect with her and feel MORE her obsession with revenge as well. All we got was a cliche flashback where the guy saves a zebra, kinda lie the game telling you "look, he is a very good guy, feel bad for him and Abby!", is not enough ND, it just isn't.

    Last but not least: the game is very long, like almost 30 hours or so, and the gameplay stops evolving at some point which makes the last part of the game feel repetitive, but not boring thou thanks to some great level design that does make every encounter feel almost unique.

    Final words: don't give in to the hate. Buy it, is an amazing experience that and an awesome game. Also: probably a great game is you need to relieve stress!    … Expand

    The problem is the story.
    Being forced to play the person who killed “a friend” made me nauseous. I understood her side of the story as well. I get her justification, but it did not make it easier to play through her story. I rushed through half of the game just to get it over with.

    The entire game it felt like I was being preached to rather than immersed in the story. “Revenge bad” and violence is a double edged sword I get it. Another thing is that they basically tried to copy paste the same relationship that Joel and Ellie have with Abby and the Lev. It’s lazy AF.
    In short I don’t care for them and they kill off the person I did care for. All for the sake of what?

    What can I say?This game is amazing it will make you question every expectation you had when they first announced it. Play it and enjoy it with an open mind. This game elevates the videogame genre to a whole new level and I'm happy to have been able to play it, even if right now I can barely understand what I'm feeling after completing it , so many emotions and thoughts at the same time.

    Masterpiece. Never a game made me felt like this one did. The last act is brutal, probably wil bring you down. But I dont see that as a bad thing.
    Gameplay wise I enjoyed a lot of the new mechanics and weapons, and the naughty dog craftmanship never cease to amaze me

    This game is a masterpiece. PERIOD. Hands down the best story experience I have ever had playing a video game. It's is not an easy experience, and it will break your heart. This is a beautiful and wholly realized vision. The characters are practically real people, as they are so well developed. The story makes sense, and will leave you floored but still retains a point to it all. This gameThis game is a masterpiece. PERIOD.

    The ending of this game is so atrocious I can't believe they thought this was a good idea. There needed to be another game to make us connect with Abby and characters with her. Instead, everything felt rushed. I could barely connect to Ellie or her friends. They managed to ruin everything they possibly could. I don't trust IGN or Metacritic to rate any **** games now.

    Great game, don’t listen to the review bombers, improved in every way except the main story isn’t as well crafted combat/animation/exploration/realism all top notch

    People are so closed minded! This was an unbelievable story and it deserves praise. I think it is an accurate portrayal on how an apocalypse would be. Nobody is safe. No matter how much you've "bonded" with a character, they can always die. It was truly amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been following this game for a few years, eager to see more game play footage. On the pros side, tlou2 has stunning beautiful graphics, with lush tall grass to snipe baddies from that looks incredible to say the least on a 4k tv. Like the game before it the voice acting is top notch as well. Where the game falls short on sadly is the story. Its neither a 0 or a 10 which gamers seem to be on an unwinnable war on. Its more of a 5/10 or 6/10. Killing a beloved character in the way they chose to was an unfortunate mistake, but they took a gamble. I think it was less about politics and more for shock, but the end result leaves the game feeling like a somewhat better written story for a Death Wish movie that would have landed better if the antagonist ultimately met their demise.… Expand

    I have never been this depressed over a video game. The story has been completely butchered. If you enjoyed the story of the original Last of Us, then there is absolutely no way you will enjoy part 2. A few hours into the game comes a point in the story where the game will leave you in absolute disbelief. From this point on I couldn't play any further. I'm getting a refund if I can.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only one thing that was poorly made is the way the game tries to attach you, the gamer, to the character of Abby. I think they could've done a better job on showing her as a good character, so that the gamer could feel more empathy to her. But everything other than that is perfect or almost perfect, so I can't give this game something lower than 10/10.… Expand

Stunning graphics. Decent gameplay. That’s literally it for the positives which is why I’m being fair & giving it 3. When a game literally makes me not want to play it anymore there’s something wrong. There’s a point in the game where something happens to the main character(not going to spoil). Then the game for whatever reason makes you play as Abe. When that happened I was done with the game. I think I’m being extremely generous with my 3 being that the game made me STOP PLAYING. I ended up watching the rest through a let’s play.
    Side note. I think it’s extremely dishonest that metacritic & certain journalist have a problem with all the negative reviews by saying they’re are bots & saying this & that but they have no problem at all with all the 10/10 review bombs. This is why I’m no longer looking at sites like this & ign for my reviews. I’ll be going to trusted sites like Steam (user reviews)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Credits rolled and oh man This was one hell of a ride. Got a lot to say so let’s get to it. Good first then the one bad apple

    Gameplay- As expected ND blew it out of the park with the new enemy AI to thr way weapons pack the punch. Like for example shooting the pistol feels like pistol and shooting the revolver feels like a revolver with that heavy kick back and the harder shot. Just like that the arrows feel like they pierced the enemy. And traversing the world was pretty cool too. Felt really natural and the combat encounters were pretty tense and satisfying ( don’t know if it’ll be as satisfying if you’re just throwing bricks and stabbing from behind). which brings me to the ANIMATIONS! Boy oh boy this game has the best animations I’ve ever seen in a game. The only game that comes close is rdr2 but this set a bar for how animations should be. 10/10 gameplay Graphics- what can i say? It’s Naughty Dog so as expected they nailed it. The visuals look pretty af. I found myself walking instead of jogging/running because i wanted to look around and enjoy the views. Even walking through a dark corridor with the flashlight on is beautiful. And not to mention the facial expression while in game. Usually in games all the expressions and animations are only on cutscenes but in this even while playing the game we can see ellie’s face reacting according to the situation. 10/10 Visuals Soundtrack- Amazing. It really got the mood of the moments spot on. Even in gameplay going through a infected filled space feels tense and makes me lower the volume so if something jumps I’ll not get scared lol. Overall soundtrack was awesome. 10/10

    I hope i covered the necessities above. They were the best now for that one bad apple[ W A R N I N G ! S P O I L E R S]. STORY! - Oh boy. What did they think? Killing joel off like that was wrong. We all know how joel knew about the ambush in TLOU1 and how he don’t trust people easily. But on part 2 he probably got soft which is dumb considering the world they live in. So that’s a big L right their. Then after around 15hrs in we play as Abby- the women who killed joel. How in the **** would i want to play as Her when she molested joel like that? I mean if didn’t know joel then it’d be fine cause I wouldn’t care but i k ow joel enough so at that point i didn’t wanna explore much. I tried to cruise through as fast as possible although not gonna lie there were some pretty tense combat encounters which as i explained above was amazing. It’s just how they made me play abby after seeing her do that. I didn’t even wanna play as her. And at the end after going through all that the only person that lost more is ellie . Even her ****ing fingers! Are you kidding me??? And abby walks away lmao and the characters. Ellie,Joel,Tommy, the only people i cared about. Even after the credits rolled i gave 0 ****s about others. I just can’t believe they would **** up the story after the excellent story of uncharted 4. Overall there were some cool story moments but overall story was a L for me. Story 5/10

    Hence i give this game a 9/10 if they had nailed the story this game deserves more than the 10/10.Still everything except the story is a masterpiece!    … Expand

    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]
