    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So i completed the story at 5 am today and i have to say i'm overall disappointed with this game, HERE ME OUT.

    So the pro's to this game are the attention to detail, from the graphic way of killing people to the pure genius of the sound design IE hearing people gargle on blood as they die or their friends calling out in anger/grief for them or just the sheer atmospheric music. The graphics are amazing and seeing someone's brains splatted on a wall after a head shot is an impressive feat of graphics.

    HOWEVER
    Based on how violent and brutal the way you can kill people is, that can also be a drawback. It's traumatising the first time you kill one of the dogs let alone if like me you accidentally pressed the wrong button and bashed ones head in with the big hammer.

    NOW THE CONS.

    The story, i mean like really, what did they think was going to happen when they decided to make this the story plot. They kill off Joel, the character that we adored from the first game and the dynamic he and Ellie had in the first game was just obliterated with a gold club (He deserved better)
    The way Abby is like Guess when asked who she is like Joel would have any idea who she is. TO THE FACT THAT THEY MAKE YOU PLAY AS ABBY FOR AT LEAST 10 HOURS IN PART 2 OF THE GAME. Like they give you a character to hate like really hate and then they go, here play as this character to try and make you understand her reasons and sympathise with her. which is impossible to do, like at all. Then we get to the ending, Abby lets Ellie go in a way to make you feel like shes changed and is worthy of any forgiveness you may of given her while playing her character (still made no difference to me) but then you get to the very end and it Ellie just beats her to a pulp, looses her guitar playing fingers in that fight too and then lets her go after a flash memory of Joel as if the game is trying to say, Joel wouldn't of just killed her straight away (we know from the first game he wouldn't of hesitated). That was very lack lustre for me and I understand the games reasoning of like its a revenge story that turns into Ellie's grow story at the end but like it just did not win my heart over ending the game that way. Like Ellie through away her relationship with Dina and her kid to go "finish it" to then just not do what she was going to do. what was the whole point of showing the house section of the game knowing Ellie just gonna mess it up in the end for no reason.

    Overall, The visuals and the sound are incredible, the extra game mechanics like crawling, the extra crafting options, swimming, the puzzle type ways to get through a building are all amazing and that is why this game gets a 7 from me.

    It does not get any higher than that due to the disaster of the story-line.

    Also, just to clarify should any media want to take my slightly negative review and say its due to the progressive characters in this game. I fully support people in general no matter race, gender, sexual preference. As long as you are not hurting anyone else, I care not for what you look like, what you identify as or who you date.

    Such a disappointment after 7 years of waiting and hyping up to this game, Characters are confusing, gameplay is too repetitive, games also forces you to play a character who is irrelevant on why people bought this game in the first place. Story of the game is ruined by the director. Really wished they never made this sequel in the first place.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is just as good as before, with a few new features, but generally the same, which isn't a bad thing- if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    The graphics are pretty good and the visuals are breathtaking as expected from a PS4 game.

    But it ain't the gameplay or the graphics that the fans, such as myself had bought the game. It was for Joel and Ellie. It was for their story that made "The Last of Us".

    And the writers had butchered it.

    The storytelling is horrendous. They tried to make "Abby", the game's "Antagonist", or another "Protagonist" (you can decide which one she is) likeable at all cost, which they miserably failed to do so. They tried to explain why she killed the game's most beloved character and then make us sympathise with her, but their attempts were so sloppy, that I only saw her as the "villain" who killed my favorite character.

    The game tried to teach you a lesson that "revenge is bad" (Unless you're Abby, because she gets a free pass, apparently ), but of course, first, it will force you to go on a manhunt and commit mass murderer in order to exact your revenge on "Abby", only for Ellie to spare her at the end after sacrificing literally everything.

    The story had also dumbed down most of the major characters. Mainly Joel. This is a character who was supposed to be an apocalyptic survival expert with over a decade of experience, but he just had to die in the dumbest way ever and that is by making an amateur mistake... Mind you, I am not specifically mad at the developers for killing Joel, I am mad for how poorly they executed it.

    When you play a game, a good game, you don't want it to end. You want to keep going and you're playing with excitement and anticipation, wondering where the story is going to take you next. It wasn't like that with this game. After roughly about 3 hours of gameplay, I stopped caring. It felt like I was forcing myself through emotional torture while trying to convince myself "it will be worth it in the end".

    It really wasn't.

    When it finally ended. I was left hollow. I was so disappointed that I didn't even want to look at the game ever again, I placed it at the back of my shelf to gather dust and lay forever forgotten. It's like a bad movie you can only watch once and don't want to talk about it after it's over.

    7 years of waiting and this is what we get.

    Shame on you Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All whining about the story aside this was an enjoyable game. They improved the combat, the weapon options were more varied, added a couple new enemy types, and this should go without saying, but the graphics are stunning, I do not understand why being upset about the story legitimizes giving it such low scores as 3 or 0. This is by far not a bad game in any right, but yes I agree the story is poorly conceived and could have been taken back to the drawing boards. The way they killed Joel was poorly executed, especially if someone skipped the first game and just jumped into Part 2. I also think having the player switch off to Abby was a poor choice. My entire motivation through Ellie's initial journey to Seattle was to hunt down the people who killed Joel and get revenge. It takes that motivation and spits in your face when it turns over to controlling Abby. With this being said Abby somehow grew on me and I think gameplay wise she is a lot more fun. Her weapons are more badass, the hunting pistol was so fun for me to play with. I think my favorite thing they did was they improved the trophies for the game, the originals trophies were bad so seeing an improvement made me really happy. Adding the stalkers as an enemy type was genius. The first time meting them as Ellie was so tense. It delved straight into a survival horror feel so quick. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and if the story really affected you that bad I guess wait till its on sale if you haven't already purchased, but I think it well earned it's $60 price tag. There is tons of replay value, trophies to earn, and fun collectibles that are easy to miss. I rate it an 8.5, but I settled with 8 because the story was weak and Metacritic doesn't have decimals :/ Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved the game.
    Even though the story is not as deep as the first game, this sequel prevails with a dark story worthy of a post-apocalyptic world. In this game we focus more on the world that the human has created after more than 20 years of outbreak day (as it is called in the game), the way in which the different clans and groups of people that have been created try to survive and thrive, and the general physical state of the world (which turns out to be beautiful). The graphics are impressive and the gameplay is very fluid and full of action.
    Now the characters. The fact that you can see the two parts of the same story from different perspectives makes you understand a lot about the psychology of the characters and the people in general. Yes, Joel is brutally murdered. But in the end, everything is a consequence of the actions he did in the past (referring to the end of Last Of Us). It teaches us that in that world nobody will have a slight chance of a fair trial. It's the survival of the fittest at its finest. Both Ellie and Abby's actions are understandable, especially when you get into a game that creates a post-apocalyptic world on par with the TV series The Walking Dead.
    Revenge takes little if not almost no importance in the end because both characters realize that there are other things to fight for in a world where anarchy reigns. Throughout the game you encounter infected (which after a long time in this imaginary world tend not to be as important as they were before), people with axes and hammers, clans as organized as the military itself, and men, women and children trying to survive. At this point you realize that when they told that you would get uncomfortable playing the game they were right. As Bill said beautifully in the first game: “You know, as bad as those things are, at least they’re predictable. it’s the normal people that scare me.”
    Excellent game, I will play it again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just want to say, for everyone in the comments who said this game was anything lower than a 7 on this scale is jumping in the hate bandwagon. This game delivered on its promises, there is over 40 hours of game play 60 if its on hardest difficulty, people are angry because they killed Joel. Wtf did they expect? There has to be a big issue in any story and sometimes we can’t all win, there had to be loss and what greater loss than that? Imagine you’re Abby your father was murdered by some **** guy you have no connection to and you don’t know. You’d do the same in a world like that. People need to let go of the notion that every story has to accommodate what their idea of a “good story” is. Its tragic. Abby killed Joel in retaliation for Joel killing her father, Ellie killed all of her friends including a pregnant woman with an unborn child. There is blood for blood and both women are caught in a loop of revenge. Story development was good and you sympathize with Abby and Ellie because they both get a good amount of screen time. Its only fair you see abbys perspective because Ellie’s was all last game. Stop jumping on the hate wagon cuz ur favorite character died, grow the helm up. This story was emotionally charged and deeply disturbing on many levels and that’s what I love about naughty dog, they don’t back down. Complete masterpiece. I have it a 9 only because the story was great but the way it was presented was a bit of a mind **** that honestly could of been presented better. But the outcome was still incredible and I still cried and I felt 0 satisfaction in the end. Questions were answered but more questions came up and that’s how I like it. Can’t wait for part 3 I hope to not be waiting another 7 years!! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Look. I’m heavily disappointed in the gaming community right now. This game is not a 0/10. It’s not even close. The problem with the people who are saying this game is a 0/10 is that that’s not even possible. Let’s say, hypothetically, the story is complete garbage, 0/10. Fine. But what about the rest of the game? What about the rest of a AAA Naughty Dog game. With more gameplay features than the first game. Better graphics than the first game. And just overall a better game not taking in story. Then, maybe it’s a 5/10. So there’s my complaint. On to the story, I think it was fairly good. The main think being that it is not a sequel to The Last of Us. It is not The Last of Us 2, but a further part of The Last of Us, or The Last of Us Part II. And I think that’s where many people go wrong when they complain about the story elements. When this game starts up, within the first two hours, we are given the death of a main character. One who we have come to love over the past seven years. But this is not the problem with the story. When you take a look back at the contents of the first game, without context from Part II, you may think this was a poor choice. And it was definitely unfavorable.
    But it was part of the story. You have to instead look at the context of Part II. Joel literally destroyed all known possibility of a cure for THE zombie apocalypse. It was completely selfish, and the irony of the situation is that he doesn’t even get to reap the benefits of what he did. That’s the gut punch. That’s the great part of the story. The fact that Ellie resents him. When Ellie begins her journey to take revenge against Abby, she is riddled with constant flashbacks and trigger moments where all she sees is Joel in pain. What happens throughout the rest of the game up to the ending is incredibly important, but irrelevant to the current topic. This changes at the very end of the game when Ellie has her final “flashback”. This time, Joel is sitting on a porch playing the guitar. He looks happy. The shows that Ellie has come to peace with Joel despite not killing Abby. This directly feeds into the 15+ hours of gameplay in between the start and finish of the game. A lot of “fans” found the gameplay unfavorable because they did not wish to play as Joel’s killer. But have you thought about the fact that the entire first half of this game, you are playing as someone who murdered multiple people in response to one death? This should not only give an effect on the character of Ellie, and it does, but it should also effect the audience. Unfortunately, no one gave it enough of a chance to let the story take hold of them in the right way. This game is not a fan service. It is not a sequel. It is a part 1.5. A part 2. And a part 3. It adds so much story that wasn’t told in the firs place, which needed to be told. while also telling the important journey that Ellie went through to get to the epilogue where she had a change of mind. She in no way forgave Abby. She simply realized that she was at peace and no longer needed to harm her. The ending is devastating to the audience because it is also devastating to Ellie and I hope I’m not the only one who realizes that.

    However what is the point to this if the most important things to a single player story driven game (story and character development/interactions) is one that NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY OR TAKE PART IN. This game will leave a bad taste in the mouth of any real fan of the first game.

    The game has beautiful graphics and the gameplay is good although very similar to the previous game. The story manages to make you hate the game so much that you love it, because many scenes are so raw and unexpected that at first glance I hated it, then I reasoned about what happened and I understood that few die as heroes especially in a post-apocalyptic world. I'm not saying you don't have to hate the game, it's understandable, but don't judge
    bad a game just because it didn't go as you would have liked, nothing goes perfectly, not even in everyday life.

    Graphic: 9.8 / 10
    Gameplay: 8.5 / 10
    Story: 9.6 / 10

    the game is definitely not 0/10 just because of two unexpected scenes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My real score is a 3 but metacritic are literally censoring negative reviews because they're shills. The atmosphere, graphics, gameplay, music and voice acting in this game are all pretty good but the story’s undoubtedly the most important aspect of games like this and the story basically just screeches “ReVeNGe bAd” for 25+ hours with absolutely no pay off in the finale. You don’t even get revenge on the character who violently and brutally ejects Joel from the series for good and on top of that you're forced to play as that character for 10 hours. Dog S*** idea. Also for Ellie to suddenly have a change of heart and let Abby live after everything she goes through, everything she loses, and everyone she's killed to get to that point was such a stupid and unsatisfying "conclusion". Honestly world war 2 was a better sequel as the villain actually f***ing died at the end. Expand

The story in this series has always been the most important element and the best part is the slow build up of each character, the narrative actually builds the character in front of us with some detail and thought. The quality of the first game makes the weaknesses of the second more obvious, to me the writer appears to have zero emotional intelligence which as I say is surprising due to the first game. Let me try to explain what I mean.

    My job used to involve giving very bad news to people (informing a person a members of their family had died) and this is how we would do it. I would knock on the door confirm I was talking to the correct person and give them the news in the most simple way possible. I would answer questions for about 10 minutes and then a second person would appear (Padre, Vicar) and they would take over. Why was it done this way? My relationship with that family member was tainted, he or she would always see me as being attached to a close relatives death, that is why a different person would look after them. To equate this with TLoU2 imagine introducing a new character who then goes on to kill a beloved character almost straight away? It does not matter how much character development you put in she will be tainted, unless she's a very likeable character (she isn't) she will never break through that initial feeling of disliking her. Then the game forces the player to get to know her? Instead of the complex relationship we originally had we got a rather cliched 'revenge' story, the complex character creation was dropped to push a painfully basic narrative.. disappointing.

    I am in favour of people showing trans, females and BAME in a positive light but why would you put them on the side of those who killed a beloved character? Why not have them included in a positive light?

    The plot holes have been looked at in some detailed and there's little point me retelling them, I just wanted to share what made me just stop playing this game. In my opinion if you enjoyed the first one for it's wonderful character creation and complex relationship (with a good balance of positive and negative narratives) then you may well be just as bitterly disappointed as me.

    Graphics : great, but not all that impressive (1/2).
    Gameplay : very bad, enemy AI terrible, tired gameplay, not at all innovated upon from first game (huge shame). Forced myself to trudge through : 0.5/2.
    Sound/visual design: 1.5/2. You can tell the environment design had a lot of passion. Sadly, the sound design was not at all impressive.
    Character design/interaction: I won't spoil it but expect forced "developments" to the story throughout the game. Grows tiring very quickly. 0.5/2.
    Fan impression: tempted to give it an 0/2. However a game is better than no game. Even if marginally. 0.5/2.

    Final impression: game left very sour taste in my mouth. Underwhelming and dishonest. Forced interactions and unimaginative situations meant to emotionally exploit or condition the player in place of a properly installed script. Would give a -1 because it's one of the rare sequels that makes me wish they were never done as they destroy my passion for the IP (StarWars jarjar Binks says hi).

    Final score : 4-1 = 3.

    Thank you for reading.

    Most of the people who wrote a negative review probably had quit after Joel died.

    Like seriously, TLOU 1 was one of my favorite games, i loved the story they told and the game was amazing. But after playing TLOU 2, this game definitely took the place of my favorite game. It is emotional, has nice gameplay and seriously i don't have to say something about the graphics, just wow.

    Some people critic the "Character development" like what? You really didn't play the game right? Every character develops in their own way, and it is amazing. I never teared up more while playing a video game.

    Don't take these negative critics serious.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II is one of the best sequels ever made. In terms of game-play, it's an improvement in every aspect, everything you do feels natural and fluent as you would want, this lets you engage an encounter as you like, with full-on stealth or going crazy, and it feels rewarding both ways. In terms of story, it's a real, down to earth emotional story, capable of making you regret the actions that you did as the protagonist, making you like the characters that you initially looked as the absolute villains. The end of the story has a sour taste, and the player doesn't want it to end that way, but that is what makes the game so rough and real. This game is a devastating, yet beautiful story about grieving, revenge and it's consequences. The game excels at humanizing every character, so you see how a cycle of violence breaks everything and everyone around you.
    I fully recommend The Last Of Us part II only if you have played the first one. This one is Naughty Dog's Masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall these are my thoughts after beating the game:
    When I first opened last of us part 2 I expected the game to be a masterpiece. I expected it to continue Joel and Ellie's story and to have an emotional ride.
    After 2 hours of playing the game I realized that what I was expecting is not gonna happen.
    At first, I felt betrayed. I stopped playing the game and thought to myself that I cant keep playing after what they did to Joel, but after a while I continued.
    Even that I wanted the story to be different I had a lot of fun playing the game. The gameplay is great, the graphics are awesome and the soundtrack is just amazing.
    The only issues that I had with the game is the pacing and the order of events that they decided to go with.
    When the second half of the game began I didn't want to play as Abby but I knew the reason for it. The reason was that they showed Abby killing Joel before they showed her backstory so the only thing that I had in mind is just to speedrun her section of the game. If they have changed some of the scenes order I think I would have cared a bit.
    About the ending I was pissed
    But after my second playthrough I understood the meaning behind it and I think that was the right decision to go with.
    8/10- bit disappointed because I expected a masterpiece but overall great game.

Maybe it’s not the Joel and Ellie story some people were looking for, but that doesn’t mean that by default that it’s bad. The game is about the cycle of violence, it’s consequences, and the many different perspectives. There are no good guys or bad guys in this story. Each character is shown in equal light, we get to understand their choices and the player isn’t supposed to agree with everything. This game isn’t a sequel about the characters from the first one, it is a continuation that uses those characters to show a larger story about hate, revenge, and the path that it all leads to. Expand

I'll start off by saying that I absolutely love the first game and how I could relate to the characters and really put myself in their shoes. This game is not that. The story feels almost forced, like they only made this game because they have to. Second in an absolutely beautiful world with outstanding visuals the world feels shallow. Let's take npc characters for starters, in most modern games if I'm in an area littered with npcs then they tend to interact with me or acknowledge that I exist in the world, but not this game. You never feel like you are part of the world unless it is a triggered event that is designed to push the story further. Also in the first game you really could relate to the characters and the decisions they make because it was always calculated and thought out and this time around those same people are just careless idiots. Also everything just happens to be too convenient like a cheap movie. Then we also take the lack of a multi player mode and how this game just lacks all the heart and soul that you found in the original Last of Us and I feel that this game does deserve all the hate that it is receiving. I honestly can not with a good conscience recommend that anyone who loved the first game play this game, which seems to just piss on all the hard work that the original team put into the game. Expand

    They initially said that ellie is the only playable character, player doesnt have to kill dogs and when the leaks came out in direct contradiction to these facts they tried to abuse the DMCA system to suppress it. This is disgusting behavior and needs to be called out and reprimanded sternly.
    On to the game.
    The games review will be divided in two parts. Story and gameplay. The gameplay is awesome but quickly becomes repetitive but what doesnt become repetitive is the at times breath taking vistas the game offers. This is by far a graphical masterpiece.
    The story is like **** donkey coming and **** all over the place. Abby kills joel, while showing no remorse. Ellie kills all her frens with a lot of remorse, in the end they fight but ellie now decides to let abby live? She loses joel her two fingers her partner and her kid meanwhile abby loses nothing.

    As for the story, it's just bad. I believe 'The Last of Us' is about Joel and Ellie. It's clear Neil and Naughty Dog pushed both of them aside to make room for all these new characters, but at the end of the day it just doesn't tie in well nor do we get the same character development for the new characters as we did for Joel and Ellie in the first game. You're simply not going to feel the same attachment for any of these people the same way you did for Joel and Ellie.

    Gameplay: It's The Last of Us 1 but you can jump, dodge attacks (time is slowed down when an enemy initiates an attack so it pretty much forces you to dodge before you can counter), and go prone. This gameplay design was already outdated when the first game came out back in 2013 as other games have simply done it better, and now it's even worse to the point where you get bored
    while playing the game.

    It's incredibly disappointing to say the least.

    I can babble on about how much I hate this game, but i don't have the energy to do so after playing that mess.

    If you really want to know what happens, watch the cut-scenes on youtube. Triple AAA games nowadays are not worth $60 and this is one you should only pick up when it's on sale for $20.

    I understand who would have preferred a different fate for certain characters in the saga, but the truth is that despite the courageous narrative choices, tlou is simply poetry.

    This whole game was a hot mess of conflicting ideas. It feels like the director could not make up his mind on what kind of game he wanted to make so he just settled on pretension and self-aggrandizing elements.

    You spend tons of time killing dogs and fighting them because they are dangerous enemies in the game. Then there is a QTE that forces you to kill a specific dog. Then they hop to
    This whole game was a hot mess of conflicting ideas. It feels like the director could not make up his mind on what kind of game he wanted to make so he just settled on pretension and self-aggrandizing elements.

    You spend tons of time killing dogs and fighting them because they are dangerous enemies in the game. Then there is a QTE that forces you to kill a specific dog. Then they hop to the other character and flashback to show you the dog you killed was so special. It really feels like the director is trying to scream at you "FEEL BAD NOW PUPPET!" There is no natural interactions to make you feel much of anything in this game it is all contrived and poorly presented fluff emotions. It feels like watching a garbage sitcom without the laugh track, without some external force trying to MAKE you feel a certain way it is boring and dull.

    The whole Joel thing is pointless and just for the reaction because they wanted to try and force the player to more engage with the game emotionally. It not only does not work it undoes all the growth as a character that Joel did in the first game, while simultaneously having him go against his whole character and being WAY to trusting for no reason at all other than PLOT SAYS TO TRUST!

    I will give them 1 point for mostly keeping the combat of the 7 year old game they put the skin of on this hot mess of a game.

    totalmente decepcionado de este juego no lo puedo creer, soy una persona que jugo el primer juego sin saber nada sobre ello pero cuando lo termine me di cuenta de la obra maestra que tenia en las manos, pero con esto, con esta segunda parte me siento triste, siento que la historia, el final el tratar de incluir cosas que no tenian porque es muy triste, TLOU2 es una total decepcion

    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]
