    The story needed to be a strong part of the game's appeal, like in the first, so that's what I'll concentrate on and choose a score for.

    The rest of it? Fantastic production values and technical merit. Not so good are the gameplay that is quite dated and only slightly improved from the first. Skill trees are linear and seem like an after thought. You can see the graphics and hear the sound etc for yourself so you'll know what to expect in those regards.

    So, the story. It fails. Druckmann is in love with his vision to the detriment of the story. He seemingly thinks, 'Look how unrelentingly violent and dark my game is, therefore it's mature and deep', but it just doesn't work.

    Almost all the characters are shallow and one-dimensional with naught to express but hate and spitefulness, always prepared to cruelly lash-out even when there's no apparent cause or reason, even when it would be in their interest to not do so. It feels like they are artificially hellbent on destruction just to accommodate Druckmann's obsession. It's totally implausible that you'd have such a long-line of malicious individuals all interacting with each others lives like this. It's all so contrived, as is the way the main character's lives keep weaving together.

    I kept watching their behaviour thinking, 'You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes'. I couldn't feel sorry for them, I couldn't feel anything terrible was happening - they pretty much all just reap what they sow and they only have themselves to blame in a way that, instead of making me engrossed, just made me view it impassively, like a far-removed bystander. They were too shallow to care about or believe.

    If you saw a bunch of bandits and criminals constantly getting into petty disputes and killing each other, would you really care?

    We've seen stories like this so many times and done by better writers. Many of the key scenes seem to have been simply plucked from various movies, games and shows (like a pick'n'mix) then simply shoved in without any skill. Sin City torture, Game of Thrones sex scene, Witcher 3 snowball fight, Walking Dead 'everyone's behaving like animals', basic TV show soap opera 'selfishness leading to neglected duties that lead to tragedy', etc, etc. All this stuff having been done before isn't the problem though, it's the paint-by-numbers delivery that's the problem.

    Not to mention the countless times the game talks down to the player (do they realise people 35+ might have been interested in this game?) by using the rote 'revenge breeds revenge' motif.

    The ending in particular is incredibly cliched and plays out in a completely unconvincing way; it's just bizarre and completely without motive. Is it just there to say, 'Haha! Not what you expected, eh?' Except I did expect it for reasons that are spoilery so I won't go into it. Honestly, it was so cliched that all that was missing was Ellie looking into a mirror to see her hatefilled face - before smashing it in rejection.

    Tarantino once said, 'Don't jerk off your audience for 2 hours and then have no money shot'. This game does it for 30 and leaves you unfulfilled.

    The original's themes of love and family were much less used in gaming and the motivations of the characters much more relatable, imho. A wasted opportunity and a game that I suspect will not be remembered particularly well once the dust has settled and the consensus declares all those ridiculous 10/10's to be nonsense. This will be a Mass Effect 3 type thing but with people's grievances being aimed at most of the story, rather than just the ending.

    I hope ND make sure there's more than one 'top dog' for their next game.

    To finish with, here's some bullets point musings.

    -Joel in the 1st game: 'Never trust strangers, never take unnecessary risks'.

    -Joel Part 2, 'Howdy pardners, my name's Joel, would you like to see our village?'.

    -Ellie Part 1: 'Gee, kids before the apocalypse had it so easy. I'd never take the gifts they had for granted. All I want is a family'.

    -Ellie Part 2: 'God, this village with food, water and security, full of friends, a woman I love and a strong community sucks ass! It's sooooo lame! My life has no meaning!'.

    Druckmann: 'Using all-new characters in the sequel would have been cowardly, Ellie and Joel's story needs to continue'. *proceeds to make a game only about Ellie and a stranger while also introducing a bunch of new characters*

    Druckmann: 'I want to make people feel things', creates a story using one of the most used themes of all time and adds nothing new. Gives the player no choice/consequence, thereby leaving them detached onlookers.    … Expand

    Awesome graphics, gameplay and phisics. The I.A is really enjoyable and it is a pleasure to play but definitely there is something bad in the plot that doesn't justify what happens. They just abandoned what TLOU 1 did.

    Story wise it was a decent - Not something I’m completely happy with, but I’m glad developers don’t make games just for fan service.

    I look forward to playing this again in the future - but for now I would recommend this to many, with a warning that you may not like how you feel after each session. This is something that I appreciated from the game - I play games to get lost in a world and escape normal life, but I’ve never played a game and come out with so many thoughts still lingering in my head.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is a game that deserves the praise it is getting from critics. Of course, how much of an impact it will make on you largely depends on how invested you become in the story, and if you enjoy stealth or not.

The gameplay isn't revolutionary or anything like that, but what it sets out to do, it does very well. I also need to commend Naughty Dog for making this game significantly longer than most of their titles. So in conclusion, if you like post apocalyptic themes, dark, visceral stories and linear games, you're going to absolutely love this one. And if you're like me, someone who doesn't really care that much about such things, you're still going to enjoy it a great amount, because this is simply a great game with an enormous budget and a lot of talent behind it.

    I'd like to post a longer review going into more detail, but metacritic's stupid character restriction prevents me from doing that. If you want to see my full thoughts on this game, please look up my reddit user 'Vapidbobcat' and search among my posts.

    Simply a great game! Fantastic cinematics! And extremely well realized environments and spaces. Great sequel to the truly compelling story of the first game. A couple minor complaints about a boss fight or two and some characters actions vs their motives Outside of that this is just a well made game. Would like to see some multiplayer added.

The thing that almost ruins this game for me is Abby, who we are forced to play as for nearly half of the game. The only redeeming part of playing her was the storyline with Lev and his sister. I didn't care about her WLF friends at all though besides the dog, and I still do not empathize with Abby killing Joel. The fact that Joel dies at the very beginning is a terrible way to go in my opinion but it made me love the few moments we had with him in this game even more. I don't think Ellie should have let Abby live either. It would still have the same message at the end with Ellie coming back to the farm and no one is there. Overall, this game isn't as bad as it is made out to be but it is a letdown storywise to huge fans of the first game like me. Asides from the story disappointing me in some aspects, the gameplay is great and the music, graphics, and voice acting are fantastic and almost justified the price for me.… Expand

    Its obvious that the game creators wanted to push an agenda down our throats and ruin a game that had a tremendous potential for greatness.

    Graphics - Amazing
    Gameplay - Could be better
    Story - Bad

    The story is melodramatic and there was no reason to make it so. Instead of feeling enjoyment during playing, i felt anger, sadness, and bored feeling. Wishing the game would end sooner.

    The story is good but I think the narrative fails because unlike in previous Naughty Dog games the new characters aren't iconic ones. They are boring, uncharismatic, flat and forgettable, and are introduced poorly, doing something that is going to make you hate them and just after that it tries to humanize them in a flashback/plot twist that you think it's going to take an hour or less butThe story is good but I think the narrative fails because unlike in previous Naughty Dog games the new characters aren't iconic ones.

So you don't take too much attention to them and don't care about them, because you want to know what happens after the cliffhanger that happens just before this long flashback. I mean, this part isn't bad but it may have been better if way shorter or shown most of it in another place of the game, altering the current order of the game. And something that isn't good or bad, but just a personal opinion: I don't understand why they took such an effort to make ugly all an unattractive the new female characters specially when compared to their actresses.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us has joined the ranks of beloved franchises that were ruined by bad writing despite having almost everything going for them: amazing graphics, great sound design, fantastic actors and an astronomical amount of money.

    Sadly, all of this is wasted on a cookie cutter revenge story that loves to make you feel as miserable as possible, confusing this with deep and impactful writing. Charactes returning from the first game might as well be new characters altogether because they are often entirely unrecognizable, while at other times their old selves are at least shining through somewhat. Almost everyone is a terrible person doing terrible things to each other for the sole purpose of revenge. Parts of the story genuinely feel like an overly long fan fiction; the game could (and should) have been 6-8 hours shorter than it is. Nothing of value would have been lost.

    One thing I will recommend the writers for is that they at least tried to make the Abby plotline work, and that the inclusion of it in itself was a pretty ballsy move. Taking risks like this shouldn't be shot down in general and could have been really good. Forcing the player to play as the murderer of Joel and showing that she is just another person in and of itself is not a bad concept, whatever some people might say. Not nearly as deep as the game thinks it is, but it could have worked fine. All the problems lie in the length and pacing. Abby is not a particularly likable character even if you exclude her murder of Joel, she's just too bland and goody two shoes for this.

    If she absolutely had to be included, it should have been a short segment after each "day" we play as Ellie and not half the game in a row. Naughty Dog's and Sony's marketing was genuinely, unironically deceptive in this regard and should (but won't) have consequences. But much fewer people would have batted an eye if we had played as Abby for an hour at a time as a sort of "break" between Ellie chapters.
    "Cycles of violence" is a nice, but meaningless, buzzword. What exactly does this game teach us, as opposed to the first game's profound message of paternity and selfishness? Revenge is bad. Murder is bad. People are, in fact, not black and white. A five year old understands this. The Last of Us Part II is miserable and violent for the sake of it. Don't mistake this for brilliant and game changing writing, because it isn't. It's an embarrasment.

    4/10 (Bad)

    However, I can't in good conscience give this game a 4 as a sum total because there is more to a video game than just the story. Almost every other aspect of this game was phenomenal and deserving of some praise. All this in mind, I'd give it a 6/10 (Fine).

    All in all, The Last of Us Part II was a huge disappointment after such a long wait. It's very telling that this game will still win all the awards and was a huge critical hit despite its mediocrity, whereas the fandom is much more divided on the topic. In my opinion, this game suffered from both positive and negative review bombing on this site (a 10 is just as ridiculous as a 0), but deserves the middle ground rating that resulted from this.    … Expand

    This game let me down. Yes, it’s beautiful and stunning with fantastic graphics and extremely good voice acting. But a game is nothing without a good story and Naughty Dog let me down. Before the spoilers were out I knew Joel would die. It made sense narratively and I was fine with it. But the way they did it just went against so many of his characteristics. The Icing on the cake was then making you play as his killer for a good portion of the game.    … Expand

    Without a doubt one of the worst creative descions I've ever seen in video games. Yes the graphics and set pieces are superb .. however the story and the characters they decided to show here are all shallow husks of what the previous game offered. It's quite clear the studio had quotass to fullfill and not stories to tell

    Technically, the game is very refined. The environment, vegetation, level of detail - everything impresses. The story varies - a very individual matter. You can't deny that the game arouses extreme emotions. The climate is dense, the game is long enough. Finding finds satisfying. Definitely in my top 5 games on PS4.

    Absolutely fantastic sequel that shows two incredibly rare things: it's possible to make a sequel that is better than the original and It's also possible to make something that is equally both cherished and hated.

If they turned this game into a T.V. show it would easily be the best show ever made. My wife hates video games and even she couldn't stop watching. She'd get pissed at me if I played without her. This game will have you rooting for the good guy, then the bad guy, then the good guy again until you realize that is the moral of the story. It's an absolute masterpiece at storytelling and incredibly gripping.

    To all the haters and review bombers I leave this message... if you thought that a certain death or scene was too dark and it upset you then you've missed the point entirely. It's a darker game. It's meant to reflect on these actions.
    The game is meant to reflect on war. How two sides can be both right and wrong at the same time. How revenge can twist people into the very people they hate. The best part? It keeps going... far beyond what you expect from a moral standpoint. It's good writing and doesn't deserve the tarnish so heavily. What did you expect from the game? Just look at the box art compared to the first and you'll know what to expect. One displays a destroyed world, characters looking back, danger, and loss of innocence. The other shows suffering, anger, and blood in a dark room.    … Expand

    Give praise to everything else (graphics, design, sound) because it’s deserved, but I’ll never say “It’s by Naughty Dog, I know it’ll be great” again. They messed up. They committed to an atrocious idea for what the sequel should be. I wish this game didn’t exist because, if it didn’t, Ellie and Joel's story would still be so amazing.    … Expand

    The art is gorgeous, the gameplay pretty standard over the shoulder cover shooter gameplay. If you enjoy QTE you will love this game. The story is pretty “meh” and unoriginal. There is a lot of political pandering, though it isn’t the “OMG SJWZZ!!!” some spastic personalities are making it out to be. Overall a bog-standard 2020 action game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This fad of media creators' contempt toward audiences and characters only ever results in horrible stories. The Last of Us Part II continues this trend, and the results are as expected.

    Joel is brutally murdered by Abby, a character that had absolutely no bearing on the original game's story.

    You play as Abby for half the game, as the writers try to give this shoehorned 'character' reason to exist in the script.

    The gameplay is boring, and copied in full from the first game with no meaningful change. It's pretentious rule-of-thirds-style camera stands in defiance of the exploration and combat; it takes 'looking nice' to be more important than being functional.

    There is not a single reason that this should've been a game over a movie or series. There is not a single aspect of the story that is enhanced by interactivity.

    An excellent game that pushes the industry forward.

    Graphics 10 - Nothing bad to say here, the game is an absolute crazy graphic showcase, it has stunning lighting and particle effects, but the things that stand out the most are the crazy attention to detail on every aspect of the game, like the almost disgusting representation of violence or the the ridiculous amount of details in character models and the best animation system i have ever seen, hands down.

    Sound 9.5: Every detail on ambient sound, voice acting and VFX are damn near perfect, it always makes you feel like it's supposed to, is truly immersive. Music is great overall, but some of the songs are lacking a little bit of strength and personality, that's not to say that the sound package is not impressive... in fact, i think this is one of the best sound designs of the year without a doubt.

    Gameplay 8.5: All the systems works wonderfully, melee combat is very brutal and engaging, the interactions with the environment while fighting are breath taking. The shooting system feels great overall and the fact that bullets are so rare makes it it feel like a luxury to shoot one. Stealth is very satisfactory because level design makes every combat feel like a sandbox where you can get creative. The only problem for me is that sometimes, the repetitiveness of the game loop can be a little too pronounced, i wish there were more set pieces or moments where gameplay changes a little bit... in a 12 hour adventure (like the first game) this is not a problem, but in a 24 hour one, it can get a little too repetitive at times.

    Story 8.0: I can see why a lot of people don't like the story, a lot of parts in the game are hard to watch and play... but i just can't stop thinking this: At last! we have a good true tragedy video game! this is a step forward to the industry, i'm very happy to see video game studios trying to expand narrative to new horizons.
    With that said, the execution has it's flaws, the structure of the story can get a little confusing and negatively affect the pacing at times, and there are one or two things that failed to be completely believable to me because some characters are, well... a little out of character.

    This game is fantastic in every sense, i respect so much the approximation of the story and the message, it was risky but for me it paid off entirely.    … Expand

    TLOU is one of the greatest games ever made. I felt so much emotion and the father-daughter connection that Ellie and Joel had was unforgettable. The sequel, however, only made me very angry and I am furious at the developers for destroying EVERYTHING that was built up in the first game. Why do they hate their wonderful creation and characters so much? Why do they not care at all what fans think? This is a gaming company and they make money by putting smiles on our faces by giving us a fun game to enjoy. At least that is how it should be, instead Naughty Dog is indulging in the destruction of an IP to put a smile on their own faces. Why did they do this!? What did they possibly think they could achieve!?

    The only thing that the developers seemed to truly cared about is pushing a specific agenda. I don't want to be bothered with anything like that at all, because it destroys my escapism. I just want to play a video game, not be lectured. To make matters worse, I don't agree with these viewpoints at all.

    As a standalone game I would give it 4/10, but for destroying something I loved and cherished so much, that score is dropping to catastrophic 1/10.

    Naughty Dog and Sony have been sent a message by the fans and I truly hope that they reflect upon that and do everything in their power prevent a catastrophe like this from ever happening again.    … Expand

    The game felt quite long, which at the first sight is a positive trait, but sometimes it got too long (won’t elaborate to avoid spoilers).

    The gameplay in itself is not revolutionary in my opinion. It is very enjoyable thanks to perfect animations, but is doesn’t bring anything very now, nor much variation. Sometimes, TLOU2 pumps too hard in the reservoir of what it has to propose. How many times, as Ellie or Abby, have I had to kill a whole army on my own? Another annoying thing is based on the ammo. Let me explain. When you play the game, you will quickly notice that ammo is scarce, but you will also notice that every time you start finding a lot of ammo consistently, it means that a long combat against either zombies or humans will follow, and that’s bad because it makes the game super predictable.

    Don’t get me wrong though, the game still emotionally shocks by moments, it is rough, unforgiving, and shows how humans may make imperfect (and sometimes frustrating) choices. Horror, deception, irrationality and loneliness are some of the many feelings this game manages to transmit to the player. You will probably feel for the characters, bond to them despite their defaults, which is a thing not many games manage to excel at.

    I also want to talk a bit about the story itself. I think that, such as it is the case with the The Walking Dead TV series, this game got its whole focus on post-pandemic clan wars and revenge, forgetting the very basis of trying to give the player/viewer information on the disease itself. Why? What? When? How? How’s it elsewhere in the world? Those are some of the things that lacked in this game. A second thing is that the end of the game leaves us too much in the dark. Too many questions are left unanswered, and I think that especially giving the fact that the game really pushes in length in order to make us bond with a specific character, it should have shown us how things finish with way more footage (cutscenes at least). To finish on the story, I’d say the following: after I finished TLOU1 for the first time, I was very emotionally hit, I almost couldn’t play any other game for one week because of how deep the game made me voyage. With TLOU2, I don’t have that strong feeling, I liked it, but it didn’t revolutionize my emotions.

    I thus think TLOU2 is a very good game, but it is not perfect, nor does it bring whole new previously unseen gameplay mechanics. That said, it is super enjoyable (except for the too long part), and I cannot wait to play TLOU3. Thank you Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    Doing unexpected things does not equal a good story. Shock value can only carry art so far, and boring gameplay segments together with unlikable characters make the second part of this game a chore

    Personally, I consider this game a masterpiece after having played through it twice. It's not a feel-good game; it's supposed to make you profoundly uncomfortable.

    Technically it's a big step up from the original game and refines the graphics of the engine used for UC4. Sound is good and Ellie uses a similar rope mechanic to Nat' in UC4 to move around the environment.

Aiming is bad, but all ND games have so so weapon aiming, enemy A.I. is woefully unbalanced - you can either kill someone a few feet away from an enemy without being spotted, or an enemy can spot you hiding under a car 50ft away and mayhem ensues....
    Voice acting is good and music is a continuation of the first game.
    But for a game that has been in development so long the changes made to game play are minimal - especially when you consider it's also a jump from Ps3 to Ps4....
    The story is just wave after wave of 'guilt killings' and angst ridden dialogue that is desperately trying to be radical and daring but is just a chore to listen too and watch - the washed out colours and the overall oppressive mood make you long for a moment that lifts the mood.
    Characters are not very likeable or relatable and after a while it's clear that ND are more interested in this as an interactive movie about social and sexual political views rather than an actual video game.
    I understand the desire to make it very cinematic as it is linking to a HBO tv show, but player input is mostly reduced to a viewer...
    The writing has made the amateur mistake of making the game characters fit into a narrative rather than the characters dictate the narrative, forcing a main character to be shockingly 'out of character' most of the time...
    It is also way too long and could have been trimmed down several hours and may have benefited for it.
    If you enjoy movie style games, like a smattering of limited stealth, and can endue a story that made me reach for anti depressants and a bottle of vodka then you will find something to enjoy....

    No offense but seriously wtf was this **** Good work on the engine and graphics but the story and everything is beyond retarded! Don't waste your money! Giving it a 3 instead of 0 because of just one really awesome small part of the game where Ellie has a flashback to younger days where they go exploring an old Museum! Really enjoyed that bit, can't say the same about the rest of the game!

    Bold storytelling. It really comes together by the time the credits roll. The fact that most people are complaining about the story and not the gameplay shows just how good the storytelling is. This will be hailed as a classic and is a prime contender for best game of the year!

    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]
