    Turn this game into a movie and you'd get a bad if not horrible movie
    But take all the movie out of this game and you'd have a pretty decent game.
    But no one's here for the gameplay so it's a massive disappointment. 4/10

    Complete and utter garbage that forces you to play as an abomination, going against many peoples religious beliefs and forcing the "woke brigades" views on unsuspecting players who were actually huge fans of the first game. Do not, i repeat, DO NOT, waste your hard-earned money on this filthy piece of propaganda.

    Despite technically sound game play and unbelievably stunning visuals TLOU 2 somehow manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, by trading the players painstakingly cultivated emotional investment in it's characters for narrative ingenuity and shock value.
    The experience sadly feels akin to drinking bile from pretty porcelain... Hard to stomach the beauty.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics is stunning and the music is atmospheric. Something expected in this generation of consoles. Lots of tiny details that makes the game interesting to play a bit.

    The general gameplay doesn't improve much from its predecessor. You sneak around, you engage in a firefight. I guess you can now swing on ropes.

    The story is something that didn't need to be told. The ending is the same is the first game, the player didn't end up doing the one thing they meant to do at the start of the game. However, the journey in the first game was worthwhile despite the destination. The journey in the 2nd game is excruciating. It's not enjoyable to replay considering the player is mostly alone for the most part. You spend a few hours to save a character that dies anyway. Nothing you do in the game seemed fruitful. Everyone lost everything they had. One gains a foster brother and a hope to meet an organization they used to be in despite everyone they know it in is already dead. Maybe it's a setup for the final game, the nail to Ellie's coffin? I can almost imagine the third game will be Ellie being forcibly killed for the vaccine by this surviving Fireflies group. Whatever the story will be, I won't bother finding out.    … Expand

    Fantastic game. Story, game-play, tension during fights, graphics, characters etc. I love it and does not deserve all that hate. I am huge PlayStation fan but I am not positive with a game if it is bad, would be hypocrisy of me. So I recommended!
    PS: I liked that they come up with something different, something that nobody would expect. I like this in every franchise.

    I think people were so caught up in "Revenge" that they missed all of these details.
    Plus i want to mention ellie isn't doing it purely for revenge but as a way to relive her PTSD. Ellie even mentions to Dina how she can't sleep or eat and she even had a panic attack on the farm. Every time she thinks of Joel, it's always his bloody beat up face. However, when she was drowning Abby, she finally saw a good image of him and was finally able to release all her grief. She had got what she came for and that was relief.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In 2016 when this game was announced. Neil Drukmann (the writer) said that the relationship between Ellie and Joel was the most important thing to remember, he said "no one loves these characters as much as we did and the sequel would be about Ellie and Joel". He even said "he and the team had played games where you were other characters and they just didn't feel right, they pulled you from the main story"... "Part two will be about Ellie and Joels story and their relationship". And he told the truth, for about 7 hours anyway! Trouble is the game is about 25 hours long!

    Don't get me wrong, the Last of us Part 2 deliveres excellent gameplay, great graphics, music, mechanics and phenomenal gunplay. However, the storyline was an absolute mess.

    SPOILER... They kill a main character and some won't be happy... including me. Now It wasn't great, but I understand why they did it. Yes it was upsetting, but it was a great driver for every emotion Ellie had and her continued journey. But then (and this is the real kicker). You are then forced to play the game using the character that kills the main character mentioned earlier... for the majority of the game too. It make absolutely no sense. Add into this that the this character is a lifeless and utterly dislikeable character, made worse by her actions in killing one of the main characters.

    So the first part of the game (with Ellie) I thought was a 10/10. But the rest isn't enjoyable at all and you are left wondering when you will get to be Ellie again.

    Add into that the fact Naughty dog wanted to use the game as a platform to showcase every problem with LGBTQ issues in the world today. Again I have no issue with this being included in a game, but the sheer amount was too much. It ended up pulling you away from the main story and everything that made the first game so amazing and the platform it created.

    Also Naughty dog lied in the trailer by cutting in shots of Joel from the first game into the trailer to make people think they were going to play with Joel more and no mention of the twist that everyone hates!

    So at the end, after all the above. I haven't felt this cheated since the final season of Game of thrones!    … Expand

    The Good: Visuals and sound are remarkable. Level design is decent. New rope mechanic is nice.

    The Bad: Fist TLOU story was what made it one of the best games ever. TLOU2 story on another hand is garbage. Characters don't make me care about them at all and the ending is horrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stunning graphics can't save this game. The story is terrible and told poorly, the new characters are unlikable. Ending pointless. They had a real opportunity to make this game something special, and instead made some very strange decisions with regard to the plot and characters. It seemed like it was made in the wrong order, would love to have developed sympathy with Abby and maybe have her work with Ellie before killing the main reason people loved the first game... To give it a zero is wrong, Objectively the graphics and animation is great, the game play is ok but highly repetitive and feels like a real slog towards the end. You have to credit the developers for the sheer effort that has gone into the game and for taking a risk with the story, it just didn't pay off for me. How anyone can give this a 10 and call it a masterpiece is beyond me, its a deeply flawed title but god bless if you liked it. Picking up the game second hand for £20 or so would be a fair shout.… Expand

    What a disappointment. Awesome graphics but horribly written plot. Games are supposed to be fun for those playing. You forced a character down our throats that we hated so much. The narrative is so childish and insulting. Then to add insult to injury, their VP shows up on shows to tell us that our opinion does not matter. Really???
    Did you make the game to make yourself feel better?

    Shut down your brain for this game and do not go easier way by giving up on it early. Do not go shallow through your playtrough. Break out of own comfort zone and you will discover a lot about mental state of characters by emphatizing with them. Great game not the game of the generation but an unbelieveable bold achievement from Naughty Dog.

    A masterpiece. You might think you know with all the leaks but you actually don’t. Even better than the first one, Naughty Dogs did a wonderful job. I have so much to say but I don’t have the words to express how I feel about this game. Life-changing, periodt.

Атмосфера и сюжет сведён лишь к одной теме и не как не развивается, а если учесть, что это не отдельная игра, а продолжение, то у людей закономерно бомбит от того, в каком направлении игра пошла.… 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]
