    This game's gameplay is unfortunately too similar to the first. I will say that the music is once again great. However, the unforgiving thing of this game is its story, which is a huge shame because that was what really made the first game shine among all other games. This game turned out to be a huge disappointment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is good, similar to the first game, simple but effective.

    What it lacks is the story.
    Bad pacing, new characters shoved in and not developed enough to have the players feel emotionally attached and constant gameplay padding. Abby in particular, If she would have been introduced more slowly, building her towards her killing Joel, with the player having to do the job after you have played with her for enough time to start appreciate the character, it would have been much better.

    Instead we have a messy start that sets her as a villain while spending the rest of the game using cheap methods to try and make you like her. Meanwhile dehumanizing Ellie. In the end you don't feel anything for either one of them.

    Another glaring weak point is the longevity, the game could have lasted half the 30 hours it lasts and it would have been better, too much gameplay padding in a game that doesn't shine for combat mechanics.    … Expand

    I think, and this is my take, that the gamers (whatever that means to you) community should grow up a little cuz this is so embarrassing, watching some grown up guy or lady screaming and screeching himself/herself on youtube over a virtual dog who's got killed because (surprise) the dog attacked the protagonist. Oh God!!! Never thought I'd come out and write on a metacritic cuz a videogame is being harassed and misunderstood. Anyway, this is it. The game rocks and the story is one of a kind and good like to you all, there's so much happening in the world requiring us to get mad at than a video game.

    I wonder if it was children that made this game who didn't know how to write anything or if it was made by people that think that having an agenda means that its the best game ever. Also why does Abby exist does she need to. Simple answer no she is the most uninteresting character since the spoon from skyrim. But at least ylwith time and effort the spoon can actually do something. Unlike Abby

    This game could have, should have named something different. There is barely anything that ties this to the last of us world. The few infected seem thrown in. There is no joy found in this game. The story is garbage. The world is more linear, with 1 open area. The graphics and gameplay are good. This game did so well off of anticipation. It's like The Last Jedi of the video game world.

Part II blew my mind, both for the incredible story and for all the fine details and touches in the gameplay. It surpasses the orginal in almost all aspects. A great experience that in my opinion deserves the highest score. Just do yourself a favor and play it.

I bought the game with the expectation that I´m gonna play with my favourite characters. I have no problem with the ending, with the decision to kill Joel although I was not really happy about it but it was understandable why abby did what she did...BUT playing with abby the second half of the game? I was really pissed off and I was even more pissed off when I had to fight against Ellie...If I knew this I would not buy this game for full prize...My bad that I successfully avoided all leaked spoilers... + the fake trailer with Joel going to help Ellie on her journey? and instead of that we are forced to play with abby and fight Ellie...?

The storyline broke my heart and I absolutely loved it. Not every single story is gonna work out the way you want it to. The story revolved around the themes of revenge cycles and forgiveness and I believe the writers did a good job. I am so sick of people claiming that a storyline is bad just because a beloved character dies. The ending made sense, it just didn’t go the way some people expected it to, thus the bad reviews.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Under normal circumstances, I would give this game a 9 but I really don't think it deserves all the hate it's getting. The gameplay is just really solid for a story-driven first-person shooter and I thought the story was amazing. At first, all the Abby chapters really put a sour taste in my mouth but by the end of the game, I really appreciated how it made the story come together.

    So many people are bitter about how Abby killed Joel and how Ellie not taking revenge doesn't make any sense. But I think it completely makes sense. Joel massacred a group that was just trying to rebuild the post-apocalyptic world and I think it would have been cheap for the game to not acknowledge that that move wouldn't have any consequences.

    I think that all the people saying that this is bad writing are looking for feel-good stories where good always triumphs over evil and the bad guy gets what's coming to them. This game perfectly acknowledges all the nuances of morality in the post-apocalyptic world the way the first game did.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is poor, Ellie kills hundreds of people to find Abby and then just lets her live in the end. Did Naughty Dog forget Ellie in part one saying “after all we’ve been through? After everything that I’ve done? It can’t be for nothing” when Joe tries to convince her to forget about the Fireflies? They don’t bother to have Ellie and Abby talk about anything in the end, nothing at all! TOO MANY coincidences, TOO MANY over looked details that have major impacts on the story. Don’t have the time and space to mention them all but you can look up some YouTube video’s. Not so immersive when it comes to how your actions affecting the game. Example: if you have a silencer on your gun when you confront Norah it’s removed by the gane when it goes to the cutscene. When some WLSs walk into the school you can shoot your un silenced gun at the door that THEY JUST WALKED THROUGH and they won’t walk back out to confront you. When you play as Abby and fight Ellie the first time Ellie can kill you, so the story should end right? Ellie gets revenge for Joe’s death but the game restarts at your last saved point. The story is forced. Also your companions can be in plain sight “hiding” and the enemies can rub up against them and nothing happens. So annoying. Also TOO much of the story is focused on Ellie’s lesbian relationships, don’t mind her being gay but the amount of focus is overkill, we get it. Y’all had SEVEN YEARS to make this story a masterpiece but failed sadly. I can list more bad but I’ll just end with the good. It’s a visually beautiful game and I love the combat and situations you’re put into. I will still play this game but not for the story although I do like the flashbacks of Ellie and Joe. I do appreciate the detail they put into the settlements as far as how they grow their own food and such, coming from a prepper who likes to see some realistic details. If they make a part three PLEASE DONT RUIN THE STORY!!!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The original Last of Us marvels in graphical department, and originality of story, not to mention game AI and physic. While the successor, which surely has better graphic, but have many dissapoinment especially in story line. The 2nd one is lack of story originality, and trying to polished it by offering unexpected event. But did it work? Absolutely not, because it has a cliche revenge storyline and also repetitive mission, slash and kill, which one easily get bored during 2/3 of gameplay. Gamers have loss the curiosity when playing the game, the curiosity quessing what comes next in the story.

    What gamers really wanted to know is how Joel and Ellie bond grows during all the year, and years to come. Their stories still has alot to explore. And if Joel eventually died, it should not because of his careless, but his willingness to do so, sacrifice for his love one.

    There are still many stories involving Last of Us world. Exploring uncharted world of fungus, how other countries deals with it, knowing what started the outbreak, innovating science explanation, how species cross transmission of cordyceps happened in the first place, knowing the patient zero and moral fight decision along the way. There are still many unexplained things in first game that can take to the 2nd one, and will make it the much more bigger game, rather than make twisted game event and the controversial Ellie's love story.
    This will surely become a lesson hard learnt for game studio in making successor for success game in the future.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this game did almost everything right. Every twist and turn in the story every grueling moments or fate the characters had to endure I really felt all their emotions. Which to say could be something someone dislikes because this game is not easy on your psyche. I really felt everything that went into this game, all the emotions and all character motivations. The one and only part I disliked was one issue I had with the pacing of the game. If you want to make people feel empathy for someone (in this case Abby) you have to build up the character and their motivations. This was in some way the case with Abby however you only got to know her truly after she had already killed Joel, which was the biggest turnoff for some people in this game. If we had felt her suffering and had had the ability to put ourselves into her mindset the players would have understood her better. But apart from that this game is flawless and since this pacing issue didn't affect me I'm giving TLOU2 a full 10/10.… Expand

    I can see how the game can be overwhelming for some. Especially those who consumed all it has to offer in a short amount of time. I personally could only play through it in short bursts and I believe that gave me supple time to take it all in.

Especially those who consumed all it has to offer in a short amount of time. I personally could only play through it in short bursts and I believe that gave me supple time to take it all in. I think the breaks in between the play through is what really allowed me to enjoy the game. This game and the world naughty dog has created is brutal. It’s lawless it’s hopeless and beyond redemption. It is a mirror of the first game in the aspect that the original painted beauty in struggle and at times desolation. It gave us hope in Ellie, a bright animated girl who biologically represented salvation for the human race at the brink of extinction. It gave us redemption in Joel who at the time was plagued and broken with grief. These characters go through so much and yet the game leads you on with hope. Even in the apocalypse , the little things in life will keep us going. Even if it’s hard, we will survive. I think it’s important to remember that the original game ends on a lie. Not just a simple lie but one in fact that plagues the world of the hope of ever returning the world to normal. To us and Joel, Ellie is salvation and redemption and comfort. Joel’s lie has irreparable consequences. Even more irreparable are the actions he takes to “save” Ellie. With Ellie alive, the “hope” we have believed in gets taken from us.. Everything gets taken from us. There is nothing left saving. Our parallel characters are drawn to the grief, madness, violence, that has all but consumed this world because that is what life has become. I think it’s important to understand that Joel has only been good to a select few people since the collapse of the world. As lovable as he is our quiet cowboy step daddy isn’t a good person. In this world, no one is. No relief comes from Abbys “revenge” there is no release. Abby and Ellie both continue to “lose” until the climax of this game. I really enjoyed how badass both were as fate sends them on a warpath headed straight towards each other. Ellie a Savvy and cunning survivalist, stalking, ambushing, and outsmarting her enemies. Abby a walking tank of a woman ripping and tearing through everything with an Arsenal. They kill. A lot . For what? Nothing. This game is bleak, it’s nihilistic, it’s depressing. Full of touching moments but they are taken from us. The game never loses its tension and uneasiness throughout and the gameplays loop is satisfying. The world is fantastically beautiful and the combat is some of the grittiest action, stealth I’ve ever played. I can understand where the hate can come from. I think naughty dog made a wise decision not to follow the hype train or cater to the fans of the first game. They told their story how they wanted to, for better or worse. As for the controversial ending I think it’s justifiable given how tired, and hurt these characters are and what they’ve been through to that point and what there is to gain from all of it which is absolutely nothing. Nothing they do changes circumstances they’ve been put in. Nothing will bring back the dead. Most importantly they’ve both fallen into situations that might change the future for both of them. I believe it’s something they both deserved to see, hence the ending. To me, that makes perfect sense. I think Tlou2 is the perfect continuation to the decision made in the the first game. One that paints the consequences of actions in a visceral way. I think it’s a stepping stone and a great set piece to a great possible conclusion to this world and story in terms of a trilogy. One that I hope to see and hope naughty dog can pull off amid all the sometimes unwarranted hate precedent in the current climate of gamer culture. They took a risk with the unorthodox story telling and I personally applaud them for it. A lot people went in expecting more TLOU and that’s not a bad thing. But part 2 makes both stand out as 2 separate entities as naughty dog didn’t stray or hesitate to make their world and story as unrelenting and desolate as it actually would be. I had a ride and my emotions were everywhere on the spectrum. I think no matter what, this game will make you FEEL something. If it does, no matter whatever it is you feel, regardless of if you like it or not, it has succeeded.… Expand

    The game is a masterpiece in every department!

    I expected nothing less from Naughty Dog, premium playstation development studio. I finished TLOU1 on PS3 and then remastered version on PS4. The bar was set high. Still TLOU2 surpasses all of my expectations. And this is why. The Graphics & Animations - environment art is gorgeuos: vistas, lighting, dilapidated buildings and streets,    The game is a masterpiece in every department!

    I expected nothing less from Naughty Dog, premium playstation development studio. I finished TLOU1 on PS3 and then remastered version on PS4. The bar was set high. Still TLOU2 surpasses all of my expectations. And this is why.

    The Graphics & Animations - environment art is gorgeuos: vistas, lighting, dilapidated buildings and streets, rural areas, offices, water, forests and foliage, villages, interior design. Animation is simply remarkable, both for monster and human enemies.

    Area Design - it is similar to TLOU1, you are expected to go through the level once (in opposite to metroidvania) and follow the story. Once you are gone then the area is available only through extras menu. There is an intersting quirk though, which allows you to experience the same or adjacent areas with a different protagonist. Some levels are breathtaking, some are ok.

    The atmosphere - the game oozes the atmosphere until the very end. Close quarter combat with infected, seek & hide with Seraphites or WLF when overwhelmed, scary situations (vel Abby hospital level), story drama experienced through cutscenes. There is an oppressing feeling that you are wandering wasteland, once being a home to human civilization. Now taken over by nature and infected. Occasionally scattered with human settlements.

    Enemies AI - one of the best in the games I played so far. Human enemies are cooperating with each other, trying to flank and overwhelm you (esp. on higher difficulty levels), looking UNDER the objects (cars for example), using dogs to find your location. Monster enemies behave irregularly, often blindly run towards you. Close quarters combat with monster enemies pumps your adrenaline.

    The Story & Writing - the story and writing is mature and in my opinion targeted rather for adults. Not only for its gore and brutality. But mainly in order to comprehend the post apocalyptic premise and atavistic human behaviours. The story is interwoven around Ellie and Abby, two protagonists, different personalities shaped through different experiences. Yet, linked by an incident, which sparks the spiral of revenge and twists the world around them. The Player is able to see two perspectives of the events and given time make his/her own mind with respective to how the story evolves. Whether you feel uncomfortable with the situation before your eyes, you need to apply your value & morality filter. And then recognize the fact, that all the persons in the game have so much f***ed up life (vel Owen confession) that practically it is impossible to judge their behaviours and you need to follow game’s director conception.

    If I would have a chance to alter something in the gameplay I would give the Player freedom of choice. I missed that really in TLOU1 and I imagine that was a deliberate decision for TLOU2 to continue in the same manner.

    In my whole life I have never played a computer game which manages to pull off its parts in such a way that the final experience is simply extraordinary! As TLOU1 has been the game of PS3 generation, similarly TLOU2 is for PS4. Do yourself a favour - buy and play this masterpiece!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, to begin with, I will start by giving my opinion about the gameplay. People have said that the gameplay seems repetitive and, at times, boring because of its resemblance to the first game. You cannot change the main essence of the saga, which is the gameplay. Obviously new movement options have been added such as crawling or climbing.

    Speaking now of the graphics section, there is not much to say. It is one of the best games in terms of graphics, and yet people continue to put mediocre marks, anyway.

    Speaking of the political issue, people have strongly criticized this game for its supposed progressive political propaganda. It doesn't bother me that there are LGTBI characters, what's more, I think this needs to be normalized. What this game has wanted to show is that you can create characters with their own personality. There are people who are surprised to see that Ellie is a lesbian when she has been since the first game, and people are scared. I do not understand why.

    Speaking a bit about the story and the main plot, I think it was a great idea to have created another character (Abby), and use it to put Joel's death in perspective, and I think that is something that very few people ever understand. Abby is not a bad character, her behavior goes through something. We hate her for what she's done to Joel, but people don't remember who Joel was in the first game, he was a smuggler, a bad person. It wouldn't be fair for him to die a hero in this second game either.
    The temporal jumps are also a good idea to understand the history, instead of switching all the history between controlling Ellie and Abby, is better to play 6 hours with one a nd then play another 6 hours with the other,

    To sum up, this game does not deserve a 10, but neither is it a game of 5 or 6 as many people describe it. There is a lot of work behind this game, and for me, it has been one of the best of the generation.    … Expand

It is a bleak yet profoundly beautiful story about humanity, about perspectives, and about let go. Let alone this is the first blockbuster game that features a character that is part of the LGBTQ community. It feels like a win already from the get-go. Don't say that is not significant, for marginalized people, the feeling of being represented is just.. rare. And I don't care if most people can't understand that.

    Cuando vi las calificaciones creí que eran debido a que Ellie (y el juego en general) eran "inclusivxs" pero en realidad, fue el poco desarrollo que le dieron a Abby, No me arrepiento de haberme visto gameplays en You Tube en lugar de comprarlo antes, el final está muy sacado de la manga fue un tanto para nada...
    No lo recomiendo

    Balan Wonderworld > The Last Of Us Part 2!

    TLOU2 completely lacks everything that Balan Wonderworld does right, including the following. 1. BWW has gameplay that is generally fun and full of unique/creative variety that always keeps the game fresh as you progress through it, while TLOU2 is just a boring walking simulator. 2.

    TLOU2 completely lacks everything that Balan Wonderworld does right, including the following.

    1. BWW has gameplay that is generally fun and full of unique/creative variety that always keeps the game fresh as you progress through it, while TLOU2 is just a boring walking simulator.

    2. BWW's characters are interesting, charming and naturally likable, and the way they tackle serious issues in life gives you a good reason to actually care about the characters! Unlike TLOU2's pathetic excuse for characters, which are all just bland generic flesh-robots that you're forced to play as after one of them abruptly murders the beloved main character (without any proper transition/build-up that would've given it an emotional impact that it completely lacks when it happens), and they feel incredibly forced and manipulative with little to no actual character development whatsoever, with their main appeal being pretty much just SJW bait.

    3. BWW has a decent story that is pretty simple but carefully structured in a way that is easy to follow, and it always draws you in wanting more! Unlike TLOU2's story, which is an overly complicated incoherent mess that doesn't even know what kind of messages it's trying to convey, and is overall insulting to human intelligence to the point where it ultimately pushes you away and makes you never wanna play it ever again!    … Expand

    Ak si mentálne zdatný na toto dobrodružstvo a poddáš sa mu, zrejme budeš hru považovať za masterpiece. Odporúčam ti dať hre šancu, či už si si príbeh vyspoileroval alebo nie – prekvapený budeš aj tak, pretože na devastačný koniec tejto hry ťa nemôže nič pripraviť.

    This game is nothing but a graphical showcase. Otherwise, it is full of agenda to promote mental instability.

    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]
