    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is truly an amazing game with an enjoyable experience to match, it achieved the exact objective it was aiming for. It has stellar graphics and gameplay. Although I still feel it was an unnecessary sequel, it was far better to have left the story with the first game & allow the players to ponder on whether Ellie knew or not that Joel lied to her or not to protect her. It was clear to see that she could tell he wasn’t being truthful. The ambiguity was way more impactful than a twisted tail of revenge on the quest for shock value. Boundaries were pushed a bit too much and it fell off the edge in parts. I truly find it hard to believe that Ellie would be that angry towards Joel for saving her life. Her anger towards him made no sense. It was really hard for me to buy into. The story also went on for a bit too long, it felt like if they spot at a certain point it would have made for a better game. I honestly struggle to be sympathetic towards Abby, I was basically on autopilot when I played as her. Part 2 opted for technical brilliance and sacrificed great storytelling. A game leaving the player far worse of than you were going into it isn’t a good mark.

    The pinnacle of story telling. I’ve never had a game hit so hard emotionally and really made me put my controller down and think about what happened. It took me a full week before I could really process how I felt about the game. To keep it short this game is one of the greatest feats of storytelling and immersion in a game and it will stand as one of the best stories of all time.

    This is one of the best games ever for its game play with fun mechanics and fast paced fighting and stealth. The story had great potential but ultimately fell face first onto the floor. The story was well thought out but had huge pacing issues and seemed out of order in terms of storyline. Some characters where well fleshed out and likeable but some other characters felt like Canon fodderThis is one of the best games ever for its game play with fun mechanics and fast paced fighting and stealth. The story had great potential but ultimately fell face first onto the floor. The story was well thought out but had huge pacing issues and seemed out of order in terms of storyline. Some characters where well fleshed out and likeable but some other characters felt like Canon fodder and due to what felt like a out of order story made some characters be impossible to like due to them be characters that pop up every once and awhile. The main idea revenge hurts everyone could have been shown way better if it didn't feel like thats all the game is trying to say. I dont have a problem with the game being different from the first but in some ways it made itself look like it started to run of out ideas to make you feel sad about character deaths. (Spoiler for first half of the last of us part 1 skip the next paragraph to the next) In the first game tess had died and even though she was in the game for a short amoujt of time her death was still very sad because of the good pacing. There was no flashbacks to stop you from bonding with Tess or unnecessary information thrown at the player. The gameplay and ui brings some needed upgrades and changes. The stealth is more fun and has improved a lot in different ways like the addition of silencers and the addition of going prone in grass. The fighting has gotten better with the addition of more weapons, upgrades in the skill tree that make hand to hand combat more exciting and the addition of dodging. The weapon combat is more exciting and fast with a much bigger and special arsenal with new weapons and more ways to approach situations you get into. This is a fantastic game with great gameplay but is brought down by its questionable story placement. I have no problem with the character deaths just the way that some characters aren't able to shine and be likeable due to being what seems like a after thought in the game. The game has a lot of replay ability and will never leave you bored. I rate it a 8 out of 10, it would be a 9 but the story is a huge part of the game and sadly isn't able to make you like characters.… Expand

    The game has good gameplay, and it's worth trying out, especially if you buy the game on sale, the game's story is not the best and could be better.

    Si, es buen juego, me disculpo con esta joya por tirarle demasiado hate, la historia es buena pero el orden y la manera en que los acontecimientos están contados considero que son malos, no le entendimos a esta maravilla, tampoco fui muy fan del final pero creo que eso ya es subjetivo, eso y lo que dije anteriormente es lo único malo que ahora considero que este PUTO JUEGAZO tiene.

Este juego para mi, fue magnífico, el gameplay es divertido, la historia, si bien te corta de golpe y te manda a jugar con Abby es interesante. Si, me hubiera gustado utilizar a Joel, pero, Ellie a pesar de todo no estuvo mal. Aunque si, realmente fue una niña malcriada y malagradecida. Pero es un juego que entretiene y divierte. Para mi es un juego que sin lugar a dudas todos aquellos que les guste los zombies tienes que probarlo.… Expand

    This is the worst Sony game for the entire existence of the Playstation brand, with the second part of TLOU in terms of trash, only GOW 2018 and the Ragnarok DLC can compete, it’s a pity that the once great Sony stooped to such rubbish.

    the story is good. yes it is good. is it enjoyable ? not all of it
    the story is nowhere near as good as TLOU1
    combat is better but the plot is so weird man
    the whole time playing as abby i actually didnt mind but when she got back to hunt Ellie down i really hated it and i dont get why we have to fight Ellie. speaking of Ellie i loved seeing her descend into madness trying to take revenge for Joel but i loved that she ends up forgiving Abby and lettiing her inner demons go. THAT IS A GOOD STORY FOR WHAT WE ARE GIVEN. the level design is overwhelming and really weird sometimes which is why i do not want to replay it cos i just dont want to play with a headache most of the time again. CAN i just say that is is so boring to force myself to play through meeting Abbys friends and all already knowing they are dead..... pointless Abby narrative, and i almost forgot abt the Seraphites cos they DONT MATTER AT ALL! with that said i can understand what the story is going for and i can somewhat appreciate it just not all that much..... abit sad    … Expand

    Worst writing from ND in years; no surprise since the mayor talent is long gone by now. The gameplay is not innovative by any means either. The game is far from being a masterpiece, that's a fact, not an opinion: Part 2 cannot even dream about achieving the greatness of Part 1.

    So, don't be fooled by the name of the franchise: Part 1 was great thanks to former golden-era game director    Worst writing from ND in years; no surprise since the mayor talent is long gone by now.

    So, don't be fooled by the name of the franchise: Part 1 was great thanks to former golden-era game director Bruce Straley; sheer genius not only on this franchise but all across the board of ND's most emblematic games as well.

    Sadly, he's now long gone from ND, a departure that has exposed the fraud behind the game direction of Part 2 big time.

    Add to the recipe the mayor lead talent who quit ND too due to unacceptable working conditions, and the consequences are easily predictable: ND's golden years are over, it has become a sinking ship of a studio.

    The only thing great about this game: the soundtrack, nothing more.    … Expand

    When the game came out, I looked at reviews, and saw that lots of people hated it, I got spoiled, and disliked the spoiled plot/character and jumped onto the hate wagon. I joined onto the narrative about how Neil Druckmann ruinned the game, and refused to actually play it. I did not want to ackolwedge this game as a canonical sequel to the first game.

I joined onto the narrative about how Neil Druckmann ruinned the game, and refused to actually play it. I did not want to ackolwedge this game as a canonical sequel to the first game.

    It was until recently after finish another playing-through of the first game, I decided to finally give Part 2 a try, my opinion has completely changed after I'm done, and I feel sorry to have easily bought into the hate narrative without actually experiencing it.

    On paper, without context, the plot of this game can be "hate-able", the keyword here is "without context". Putting everything into the game's context and execution, it actually make sense. The characters are very well-written, they are human, they don't make optimal decisions, they are influenced by their human emotions. It is not an easy game to play, emotionally speaking. But it is an artistic piece to experience, you can tell that the team put lots of heart into crafting this game, it made me reflect, and think about the theme this game explored. That's what a good piece of artwork should do, to chanllenge and provoke.

    There are definitely moments where some characters' action feels off and out-of-character, those areas could be executed better, hence it's not a 10/10 for me. But the overall quality of this game is great.

    I recommend this game to people who are interested, whether you like it or hate it, it's a worth-experiencing game, the kind that we probably won't get many in the upcoming future, judging by how un-ready the audiences are at accepting something different.    … 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]
