    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know why there's a lot of homophobic haters who hated the game. I'm cis male and loved the game immensely. The action, the game play, the gore, the heart-wrenching story... I felt every emotion running through my body whilst playing the game. Even the "death scene" of you-know-who made me not want to quit, but continue on, because I'd feel exactly like Ellie in wanting revenge! But then to my horror and disgust, I started to play the villain! Ugh, I was mad... I hated her. But as I continued on, she's not half bad. I still blame her though, since technically her dad was going to kill Ellie, so what did she expect? But anywho, it's not that I like Abby now, but I did understand how it came to this. Although I can do without the Abby sex scene, I find myself hoping Ellie wouldn't kill her in the end (if you havent played it yet, then play it to see what really happened ;). The romance between Ellie & Dina is organic and realistic, made me smile (as I would on any sweet, romantic couples/stories in the middle of an apocalypse). All-in-all, loved it!!! Can't wait to see more of Ellie (praying it would happen), but for now, I'll have my hands full (with all fingers intact ;) with the next anticipated game of the year, Cyber Punk. Stay tuned!!… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is thrilling, engaging, and completely realistic. I feel as though those giving messed up reviews didn't experience the story as it should be experienced, slowly. You build empathy for both characters as you play, and the story held me by the throat (pun intended) the entire time. If you own a PS4 and played the Last of Us, this is a must own.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This story of not only revenge for one, but redemption for another was a masterpiece. No other way would I have pieced the plot together. The creators of this game told an amazing story that brought on emotions no other game has done. It was beautiful, haunting and sad. This game isn't meant to be fun given the storyline of what needs to be taken care of. Those upset about Joel's death fail to realize that Joel was not a hero. He was just as bad as any of the ones he killed. His choices were bound to haunt him. This game will live on no matter the critique because it started a conversation. It polarizes people's feeling of why loved the game in the first place. Congratulations Naughty Dog for continuing the hard work you put into your storytelling!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe the story itself is not bad, and is prett well written chronologically speaking. What I think actually botched it was how the two stories of Abby and Ellie were placed. First of all some people said and they were right that Abby should have had more back story, building her relationship with her father. Her backstory has two components, father and boyfriend, and the fathrr bits are the most rushed although her father's death triggers her actions. That makes it hard for people to feel for her. There were a couple of other options to make this better. Make Abby's backstory more consistent. Alternate her's and Ellie's experiences that were happening in paralel. Kill Joel a little later and allow Abby to be built up a little more to that moment. It's not like the fact that Abby is after him is shocking. It's really kinda predictable anyway. Take a quarter of the game.to build more into Dina dn Ellie's relationship, build Abby's past and relationship, and after Joel dies, intertwine their stories a bit. Anyway, I liked the ending and I liked that you get to play Ellie a bit more near the end, and that therr would still be space of going further with a part iii.

    The gameplay is better than the fisrt part, not bu much, but alightly more varied, as are the enemies.

    Image and sound are superb as expected. I did notixe some things that stood out like a sore thumb, like the ocean water in santa barbara which looks lile a glitch in the matrix. I am going to rate this high because it is a very good game, had some mistakes that could have made it much better, on par with the first. But as overall atory it rounds the first one pretty well.    … Expand

The last of us part 2 is difficult to get through, not because it’s is a hard game, but because it thoroughly humanizes your enemies. You kill people and then get to know and appreciate who they are and who they were with the knowledge that you’ve already ended them. You start off thinking this is going to be a simple revenge story and then realize that your enemy deserves their vengeance as much as you. This is a morality tale that makes it clear that in pursuing vengeance, you will lose everything.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is an interesting take on how feelings influence perception, many people couldn't see past the death of Joel and hated all the game because of this, not to talk about Abby as a character. When Abby and Lev were targeted by a sniper that kept besting them, I really wished to take him down and got angry when he killed Many, only to find out it was Tommy!!

    What people don't get is that even when we love Joel and Ellie, there's always the other version of the story. Ellie became what Abby turned into when she saw her father 4 years ago in that hospital floor, driven by hate and a wish for vengeance. Abby knew it wasn't worth it, she lost everything because of that and then Ellie learned that the same way. Both paths ended the same way but in different times. This story was about loss and acceptance. At least that's what I saw.    … Expand

Every side of this story has something to tell, and the reflection with the current situation of the world could not be better. The game makes us think about life and our choices, about what we think is right, or just, about who has the right side, but in the end, there is no answer, that makes it grow on me, it makes me think about it, it makes it amazing. Gameplay is extraordinarily good, graphics are the best I’ve seen this generation. Flawless, and a must play for sure.… Expand

    Now yes, first I want to say that the game is graphically beautiful in all its aspects, it has almost no errors, the game mechanics seems excellent to me, I would have liked to have polished the topic of jumps a little more but nothing from the other world, In addition I also loved the model of the characters in the game, they seem real people, each damage or each bullet can be seen reflected in our skin as in that of the enemy, now, what things did I not like about this second part? In the first place, I didn't really like the plot holes that can be found in the game, another thing I don't like is the end given to the bone game, how the **** do you let the woman you followed through the whole damn game escape? , Another thing that I did not like was the stupid death of Joel, bone, he is a person with you play in the first part and at the time of the game they are already killing you, what the hell were the writers thinking ?, Now to conclude my perfect ending would have made Ellie kill Abby and with her last strength Lev could kill Ellie, thus showing that revenge is bad whether you are good or bad in history.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics and character design are amazing. Gameplay was good but after a while it felt monotonous. I liked there was a new kind of infected. Also loved the inclusivity. Now, I think getting rid of the main character as literal garbage in the second hour of gameplay is a really bad idea. We looked up for joel in the first game as our father and it's death wasn't commemorative as we hoped it would. I don't think having a 10 hour gameplay as his killer is good, it felt forceful and disgusting. Is like if nothing ever happened. Literally abby never felt remorseful, she is a psychopath and a killer and no matter how many kids she saved, the player always has in mind what introduced the character. When I knew.a 10 hour abby was going to happen, I immediately didn't want to play anymore,. Now, the ending didn't resolve anything, allie completely destroys her life for nothing and Abby didn't get to pay. I don't think if joel was in her place he would have let abby live.. Also, the relationship between Ellie and Dina was cute, but it was forced. I think in a game you should explore deeper connections,. Weed and sex are definitely not deep at all.. I expected so much more.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The good: The most beautiful looking game I have seen on the Playststion 4. Wonderful cinematics and gameplay help push the story along and the score is on par with Part I. A lengthy story worth the price of the game. The gameplay is improved upon from the first game and polished in all aspects with a top notch system for upgrading and crafting. New enemies and a variety of options for taking them on makes for fun and very tense combat throughout.

    The bad: Certain characters behave in ways that make you question if Naughty Dog simply abandoned how the character was established in Part I or if they chose to ignore those characteristics in favor of pushing along the narrative they wanted to tell. Introducing a new character that can be viewed as the antagonist and then then forcing the player to take control of them for half of them game and try to make the player sympathize with them simply does not work. Revenge is painted to look bad in this game for one person and yet seems to be okay for another that is also a mistress to a man with a pregnant wife. It is very difficult to root for the character that kills a protagonist from the first game, even if that person is a bad person in the world of The Last of Us. Naughty Dog still built the character to become loved in the first game and players are supposed to simply switch and view him oppositely in this game to make the new character, Abby better received or liked by fans. In my own opinion, the biggest mistake of the game was establishing that Joel was wrong for rescuing Ellie at the end of Part I. Having the first game end with the player left to decide if it was right or wrong is a much better option than flat out deciding it was a fact that it was wrong and later doubling down that Joel was blind by stating he would do it again. New characters that are allies and friends of Abby (her WLF allies) are poorly written and very much unlikable and uninteresting. Yara and Lev will also divide crowds. I found both the characters, and their arc interesting.


    However, credit should be given to Naighty Dog for following through with the story they wanted to tell and not letting fear of backlash dictate their path. The game does everything well but falls flat on it's narrative,especially when compared to its predecessor. It is sure to divide fans greatly but is not deserving of an overall bombing of ratings due to it's story. The game is still very entertaining and an experience that should be had by all fans of Naufhty Dog and The Last of Us world. I do not feel that it is worthy of complete praise either. What it does right is done very well, and where it falls, it falls hard. It falls in the middle ground for me but is lifted by what it does successfully accomplish. A solid 7/10 even 7.5, but nothing more due to what I fails to execute well at.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я дикий фанат первой части. Она для меня одна из лучших игр для моей консоли и всё так же ею остаётся. Я с огромным терпением ждал выхода второй части и вот она тут.
    После двух прохождений и получения платины решил сказать своё мнение об этой игре.
    Для меня оригинальная игра осталась на первом месте, сиквелу, увы, не удалось её затмить. Как минимум из-за самого базиса сюжета. В первой части мы наблюдали за взаимоотношениями между разными людьми совершенно разных поколений, от их неприязни друг к другу, до огромной привязанности, заставляющей идти на всё, чтобы спасти жизнь напарнику, который стал уже как часть тебя.
    А что же во второй части? Просто месть. Да, конечно, есть много ещё сюжетных линий, которые скрашивают такой невыдающийся задел, но никак не могут превратить его в шедевр.
    Как по мне, это великолепная игра в плане геймплея и графики, общий сюжет мне тоже понравился, хоть и его основная ветвь содержит 2 непонятных для меня момента.

    *Спойлер!!!*

    1. Какого хрена Джоэл вообще доверился какой-то незнакомой бабе, имея столько-то врагов и опыта за плечами.
    2. Какого хрена, после всего что Элли проделала, она просто отпускает Эбби?! С этого я вообще выпал.    … Expand

To many consumers are fixed with what they wanted this story to be and not the story the creators wanted to tell. So much so that they have failed to see what this game does so beautifully. It shows the cycle of violence, the tit for tat that is generated by hate, two bad acts never cancel each out, and how someone beloved to us can spiral in such a negative arc before finally realising they've pushed everyone they love away. On the flip side, we are presented a charecter that the game has encouraged us to hate, someone who did something so brutal, so disgusting that for half the game, my sole drive was my was my desire to end her life. And then they humanised her. They have shown that everyone in this world has a story, that everyone has their own motives and in the end, I understand why she chose to do what she did.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was a fantastic follow-up to the first chapter, and Naught Dog (ND) deserves a huge congrats and thank you for bringing this wonderful piece of Art to market. I call this game art because it's such a different experience to any other game franchise I've played, even compared to ND's other amazing franchises such as the Drake's series. Both the TLOU franchise and Drake's have the same cinematic feeling, but TLOU has this profound character development and emotional ties that make it a totally different emotional experience to play. At the end of TLOU1, I felt the same feeling I get when I finish an amazing novel - I felt a bit empty inside, emotionally drained, shocked, and sad that my journey with the characters had come to an end. The ending of TLOU2 left me with the same sentiments but also built upon those emotional feelings by providing such complexity of character development. I absolutely loved this game and it deserves a solid 10/10.

    Technically, the game was very impressive and improved upon the original in many ways. The combat mechanics felt smoother. The tweaks to the classes of infected played very well - clickers flowed into combat scenes easier without the need to craft shivs, the shamblers were sufficiently difficult to make encounters challenging during the first half of the game (hard mode), and the changes to the stalker class created a perfect horror environment in their scenes.

    Visual and audio were impeccable as expected. An incredible amount of detail went into building Seattle and the other locations, and it shows with amazing visuals and great sound engineering. I also really appreciate all the side-stories that the writers weaved in via the notes you find laying around.

    Now to the Story, which seems to be the controversial part for many people leaving negative reviews. I honestly just don't get it. Some people complaining Joel died - really? Objectively his actions at the end of the first game were monstrous and unforgivable, even in Ellie's words. Also the game would have been meaningless if he hadn't died - the whole point is that his death broke Ellie, just as the song foreshadowed and in the same way that Sarah's death broke Joel in the first game. In the first game, after Joel "broke" he became a bad guy and lived as a hunter and murderer for much of the time before he met Ellie. When Joel meets Ellie in the first game, she "fixes" him and shows him that he can love and be human again. In the same way, Ellie mirrors this pattern and loses herself after Joel's death and goes on an illogical murderous rampage through Seattle killing hundreds. Ellie only finds herself again in the very final scene of the game, when she remembers that she agreed to try to forgive Joel.

    Now lots of people complaining about playing for Abby as half the game. Okay, I agree that maybe they could have broken up the 10hrs of Abby gameplay somehow but you have to admit that some of Abby's gameplay scenes were awesome (sniper battle, sky bridge, etc). But also cannot you really not understand why the devs wanted you to see Abby's story? Her journey mirrors Joel/Ellie's exactly so she is a perfect foil. Abby was "broken" by her father's death and the murder of the other fireflies by Joel. This sends her down a dark path where she becomes a murderous "piece of **** fighting for the WLF. She is snapped out of this when Yara and Lev save her life and she realizes that violence and retribution are not the only ways to survive in the messed up post-apocalyptic world. This is why she spares Ellie and Tommy during the theatre fight, she is ready to give up the cycle of violence and knows that more death will not bring her happiness.

    The story and writing are incredible and really place you into the shoes of complex characters living in a desperate world. You can't just simplify the characters into bad guys and good guys, because they are all doing bad things in a bad world. Instead the writers have provided us with believable characters with depth and development throughout the 20+hrs of gameplay. It was an absolute pleasure playing through their emotional journeys while playing in such a vivid and terrifying world.

    Props Naughty Dog, you did it again. Now unfortunately I need to wait until PS6 is announced before I will get to play TLOU3.    … Expand

The story is great, the characters are complex and their motivations are completely understandable. The fact that Naughty Dog made me feel empathy for a character who I genuinely hated is a testament to just how well they can tell a story. Loved it from the beginning til the end because of all of the complex emotions I was able to feel from the story being told. I felt like I could relate to each and every character. The only thing I wish was there would be a more fleshed out crafting system. Other than that, I believe this game will go down in history as a masterpiece, just like the first one.… Expand

The journey was dangerous for our characters, and the ending was dangerous for naughty dog.

    The first game left you happy but with a question, this game leaves you hopeful but empty. Really makes you have a new perspective on conflict.

    The gameplay was great, I always play on the hardest difficulty and it really feels like my life is in danger with every conflict. Graphics are great in gameplay and cutscenes. I like the characters, even tho most of the time there is a level of gloom so they can't really share there personalities.

    I do say I think they forced the LGBT movement not with Ellie but with Lev. Lev could of had a thousand other reasons to be kicked out of the Scars. I mean they are a cult, make up a rule. Now everyone is mad about Joel, and it did suck for him to die and to die the way he did, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done well. There are plenty of movies/shows or what have you that have similar scenes with a beloved character to die. This is the world, Joel always said their luck would run out sooner or later, and his finally ran out    … Expand

    Graphics:
    Needless to say that these are the best graphics of any PS4 game. What a conclusion to the PS4 era! The environments, charactercs and lightings look vivid and realistic. With a PS4 Pro and a good TV it even makes graphics of AAA PC games look obsolete!

    Gameplay:
    The mix between stealth, open fights and exploring is more than splendid! Normally, I‘m not the person to explore game enviroments exhaustively, but TLOU2 just keeps me interested enough, to keep on searching for upgrades, ammo and other supplies. Furthermore, the world is just so beautifully designed, that I often times just climb on a car and just stare at the environments. The crafting and upgrade systemis easy to understand and not as annoying as in other games. That being said, I really think people should snap out of it and learn to think outside of the nutshell. The way the story‘s told is Hollywood worthy and it‘s already one of the best games of the year. I also reckon it being relevant in 10 years.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My problem with this game stems from just how all over the place these characters are: Ellie goes from a hopeful soul who wants to help the world in the first game, to a homicidal maniac in the beginning of this one, to forgiving Abby later on?! And Joel, who would trust nobody in the first game and do whatever it took for safety, saves Abby for no reason and then tells her and her whole group of strangers his name? Speaking of Abby, they try and push this needs of the many outweigh the few mentality on her, but she abandoned her friends and morals to for lev? Excuse me? It’s like they didn’t even care about writing a good game here, they just wanted to, as I said, push a narrative with a pretty coat of paint. And if you want to push for representation PLEASE DO, I really love the LGBTQ+ characters, the POC, and everything, but these games are ruining characters for the sake of representation. There’s so many more valid points to be made about why this game was a shame, but they’ve already been made and I just don’t wanna think about this game anymore. I just really hope games start to realize that we don’t hate LGBTQ+ or POC characters, we just hate when characters are poorly written and poorly designed, and when their motivations and character traits are thrown about nonsensically. These negative reviews are all valid, and people trying to push this idea that we’re review bombing because we don’t like that they “killed off the white man” or because “the main character is gay”, please just stop. You’re the problem, and people like you are exactly why really good, really beloved LGBTQ+ characters especially won’t be widespread, because for a lot of you just having a woman or a gay character is enough. This game could’ve made Ellie just as beloved as Joel, but in case you haven’t noticed, it didn’t. I just really hope this isn’t the way the industry is going, and if you’re gonna keep making games like this, please don’t make them sequels to the games we actually do love.

    1/10 for the amazing graphics, gameplay, and sound design (although the AI could use some work). They did great work on the gameplay, but as this is a story game, I’m rating the story.    … Expand

Abby is the beast, look how strong this character is!) Both of them could be good friends if they are in a different world, just like Joel thought Sara would like Ellie at the previous game.

I think the saddest part is that people went in with an opinion of i hate it, before even playing it, or before watching someone else, because of the leaks and loosing a favorite character without getting "true" revenge was too much for them to deal with. I loved it coming from things like a song of ice and fire and of course the original Last of Us, i love things that break the mold of everything is only "good" or only "evil", and good guys always win with very little negatives. In these games they changed that, they had REAL consequences for EVERY characters actions that felt like real human emotions (grief, anger, sadness, PTSD) its all captured so well, and it shows humanity in its truest form to morality, its not simply black and white (evil and good) its much more complicated than that. An amazing experience, but its very sad to see the community so torn apart because of trolls (Racists Homophobes etc) and people that loved the characters too much to let them change, as there supposed to in a story, which made them hate the game before the start, and if you go in with the mentality of looking at all the bad, you're not gonna find any good.

    A gut-wrenching, hard to swallow masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

    Without revealing any spoilers, I will say that it is very sad to see so much misguided hate being thrown at this game, mostly by people who did not play it - and who never intended to play it, regardless of whatever leaks might have happened. They are missing out on possibly the best game of the generation.    A gut-wrenching, hard to swallow masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

    Without revealing any spoilers, I will say that it is very sad to see so much misguided hate being thrown at this game, mostly by people who did not play it - and who never intended to play it, regardless of whatever leaks might have happened. They are missing out on possibly the best game of the generation.

    It's a polarizing game, for sure. It is not afraid to take risks and does so willingly, challenging players to endure painful moments of hard to watch violence, which might - and will - alienate some people. I can definitely understand that some fans of Part I will feel disappointed by some story elements, but I cannot agree with those accusing it of being poorly written. It is meant to bother you. It is meant to not be a happy story in any way, and it is a daring, deep and misleadingly philosophical piece of narrative. Put simply, if you understand what the writers were going for, it could very well be the best narrative-focused videogame ever created. I know it is, for me.

    It redefines the meaning of what it is to be a protagonist, and subverts both the hero and villain roles. It shoves human suffering in your face, time and time again, but does so in such a way that it never becomes tactless or gratuitous, and it never pushes the boundaries of taste. It is most definitely hard to swallow - simply put, it's a story that demands the player to have a strong stomach. It treats you like an adult. As it should.

    With story out of the way, it must be mentioned how absurdly detailed everything about this game is. From subtle facial expressions that denounce nuanced emotions, like jealousy, fear, anger, contempt, surprise, hesitance and many more, to tiny sound effects you would never expect to hear in a videogame, along with some of the most ridiculously and painstakingly detailed environments and level design I have ever seen.

    Gameplay is also masterfully crafted here. Combat is much, much more fluid and seamless than Part I's sometimes clunky mechanics, exploration feels fresh and absorbing, even after dozens of hours of play, and each new area has a distinct and purposeful feel to it, making every stage feel like it adds weight to the experience. It's remarkable how a story-driven game can surpass the 30 hour mark without ever feeling like it's dragging for too long. The addition of a jump button may look like an obvious element for a 2020 game, but it does open up new exploration possibilities that Part I never achieved, making Ellie feel much more agile and capable than Joel ever did.

    In terms of characters, be prepared to meet one of the most diverse and fully realized cast of virtual people ever designed. With The Last of Us Part II, gone are the days of the same old caucasian male protagonists and equally generic supporting cast. Gender, sexuality, and race are all carefully balanced and presented in such a way that it makes the characters rich and lifelike, while making it so that these subjects are rarely the main focus of the game. When they are, though, they serve to deepen the selection of themes approached by the game, which make us draw comparisons to our own, infected-free real world.

    In the final hours of the game, I realized that The Last of Us Part II triggered emotions that I have never felt in any piece of work - videogame or otherwise - in my life. Joy, charm, pain, anger, fear, repulse, nausea, surprise, disagreement and satisfaction are some of the feelings provoked by the story, with a few more nuanced ones in key moments.

    If you want a game that will take you on a punishing, emotionally draining, visually incredible, artistically unmatched, adult and, yes, bleak experience, The Last of Us Part II has much to offer you. Do not let the fact that the story doesn't match our seven-year-in-the-making fan fictions detract you from what is quite possibly one of the best games ever crafted.

    There is so much more I would like to say, but I will refrain from doing so, in order to prevent spoilers and for the sake of brevity (and character limit).

    Thank you, Naughty Dog, for one of the most unforgettable experiences I have had the privilege to live through. This game, this world and its characters will stay with me for years to come, and I'm still reliving the story in my mind as I make my way through the painful first hours of the story on my New Game +.    … Expand

    Good graphics but horrible story. Also misleading trailers in advance make it sort of a scam.

However, I can confidently say that, after completing the story, that this is one of the best video games ever made, and also one of the best stories that I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience. Is it an easy game to get through? No. Will you hate what happens at certain parts? Yes. This is one of those games that will stay with you after the credits roll, and that demands that you look back at everything that happened in order to understand why certain things came to pass. This is my first review I’ve ever done on a video game, but I believe that everybody should know how incredible this game is, and that it is definitely worth your time. This is one experience that you will never forget.… Expand

People only dislike this game because Joel dies early on and they can't handle the fact that the game isn't all about Joel. The story amazing as well as the graphics and gameplay.

    Acabei de zerar The Last of Us Part II. Que jogo meus amigos, que jogo. Gráficos lindíssimos, jogabilidade muito boa e trilha sonora magnífica. Eu sei que teve gente que não gostou da história. Eu particularmente gostei muito. A maneira que o jogo te envolve é absurda. Confesso que chorei no final.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start this game is a straight slap In the face to fans who fell in love with the original game. The characters are shallow and unplayable at times. The story is a train wreck from start to finish with only a few redeeming factors, and the new characters introduced are forced onto the player so heavily, it’s annoying. The first games story was so deep, characters were lovable, combat and fights felt smooth (at the time) the world was built so beautifully it felt you were there. Now what did TLOU2 do...well little to nothing. The story to start is a mess, so many plot holes you can’t figure out what is what at times. Characters who’s motivations and goals are confusing and at times can make no sense. The world is way more linear than the first which is bad, because the story than forces itself onto you without you being able to breath. On the other hand the graphics are a clear upgrade, as they should be for it being over 7 years since the release of TLOU1, the combat feels smooth and fights are intense, like the first game encounters with infected are thrilling and get your heart racing. The fighting is a good way to take your mind of the disaster that is the main story.

    Moving on to the ending, Ellie is finishing her long and seemingly pointless journey, to confront someone who caused her immense pain. Throughout the story you feel hate, anger, sadness, throughout the deaths of Joel, Jesse, and the harm to Tommy and Dina, and Ellie, you think at the end you will get to release these emotions...but then the writers take a questionable route, and let the antagonist (Abby) leave with her life. Ellie then goes home to Dina but is found that they left with there son JJ. The credits roll and you begin to question everything. During the credits the only thing you can think was “what was the point.” What was the point of this story being told? Was it to make the player angry? Was it to make the player uncomfortable? I don’t know, and not many others do either. Overall the graphics are a beauty to behold, combat is tight and fluid, landscape is beautiful, but the sheer amount of flaws in the story and character motivations makes this game feel unplayable at times. If you enjoyed TLOU1 for its story this game is not for you. Graphics-9/10

    Such beautiful graphics cant save a plot this bad, before getting into the plot, the graphics are of course gorgeous if not the best to date

    Now the main problem, the plot, the plot is really poorly written, old characters act out of character, new characters make nonsensical decisions, a bunch of plot holes, and little respect to the previous game, all that made the first game's plot good was sacrificed for shock value and cheap tricks to make you feel, you will likely feel terrible playing this game, and it just gets worse and worse has you go trough, and you dont even feel rewarded at the end for all the pain this game puts you trough, if anything you feel like you wasted your time, like the entire game was just a waste of time that was utterly pointless, yeah the ending was also bad

    In conclusion, the plot is terrible, and since this is a story driven game, then all i can say is that this was not a good game, its sad to see such graphics wasted on this    … 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]
