    Sony deserves to take a loss on this. There never should have been a sequel. If they had to do one, it should NOT have included the characters from the first game, but taken place elsewhere in the same Universe. I don't need to add spoilers, they're all over the place. The gameplay is much the same so you're not missing anything there. Save yourself money and wait for the budgetSony deserves to take a loss on this. There never should have been a sequel.

    This is a bad game.
    The game is trying to teach the player to show mercy when the player got no reasons to do so.
    Although the gameplay and art style is great, the story itself is bad, very bad. It is like Gordon Ramsay trying to make a dish with **** it just won't work.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog's gameplay still doesn't change and doesn't revolutionize the video game, I didn't like this game and the storyline choice the developers chose, I never really liked this studio and with The Last of Us Part II still hasn't reconciled me. Ellie's sexuality doesn't bother me but I don't like to see LGBTQ flags in a video game because I prefer to escape as much as possible from reality, same for the heroes of the game who are only women, do not put your political opinion a video game in the future please!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are beautiful and the voice acting is great.

    The gameplay is so-so at best. Moving around the environment is somewhere between functional and uninspiring. Combat is decent for ranged attacks but limited trash for melee, feeling more like something that happens in front of you rather than something you are taking part in.

    Finally the story is a muddled mess. It's not terrible but not great. I feel like a better arrangement and pacing would make for a good story but alas it turns out meh. Also, the people writing the story needed to have a much better idea of the gameplay because it leads to some real clashes between what the character says and what the player has experienced.

    One example that comes to mind is after a LONG gameplay segment fighting through a long section in a building then through a tunnel network where dina is actively saving your ass you finally reach an old theater and Dina is tired and admits she might be pregnant. Ellie rips into her for essentially being a burden and i'm sitting there thinking WTF are you talking about? She just helped you fight a fricking army......

    If you have time to kill and cash to burn I would pick the game up. It's not bad, just not great.    … Expand

    I can't just reduce my feelings to this game into a few sentences.
    But, all I can say is that I am shocked, how one man or just a few people's decisions were able to and were allowed to ruin so many people's hard work to create an absolute masterpiece.
    This game is not bad, it is straightforward disrespectful to anyone who loved the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is fine. The graphics are worth a masterpiece. The story part is obviously mediocre. Joel didn't deserve to die like this. The game manipulates too much. While Abby is an animal lover, Ellie brutally kills dogs. This part is very uncomfortable. It was pretty bad to play for 6 hours with a character I didn't like. The finale was very stupid. Abby will most likely be the lead character in part 3. This series ended with Joel's death. I think it is unfair to devoleper team to give a low score due to the story.… Expand

    Not better than the first game structurally due to pacing issues, but my favorite game of all time nonetheless. Truly a work of art, and the highs are so good that any issues I had with the game while playing were worth completely nothing. Can't wait to see what ND has in store next.

    This game is not as horrible as others have tried to make it seem to be, but it is also not the holy grail of a generation, or even of the year.

If you liked the first one, then this one will be a polarizing game for you. It is not true to all of the previous characters, and has a horribly disjointed story that at many times seems forced. The pacing is off in regards to the big plot points, and they should have spent more time getting the timeline of the story to make sense, instead of going for sensational clips. The controls are also clunky, and the accessibility menu, while a great addition, ends up becoming a glorified cheat menu, with a lot of options that make it so easy a baby can beat it.… Expand

Instead, it's a cesspool of zeroes given for character deaths and body types? This game was meant to show just how deeply our actions impact others, how we should consider the bigger picture, how we should celebrate life as it is too short for anger & vengeance. As much anguish as this story caused me, I loved every aspect of it. Certain characters I initially hated, despite how strong a love I felt for characters impacted by them, the game shed insight on their pain, their anger, their personality.

    Those reading the reviews before considering purchasing Last of Us: Part 2, please play it. Don't let all these butt-hurt people expecting plot armor to disparage you from experiencing one of the best stories of our decade.    … Expand

The story follows through from the first game, it's brutal, heartbreaking, complicated, at times fun and lighthearted but most of all it's really a story about obsession and revenge. Choices have consequenses and in this world, they're bloody. Hopefully the bracelet theory pans out and Ellie and Dina are together in the end. Ellie deserves a good ending besides finally letting Joel's death go. Overall one of the best games I've ever played and you can see all the hard work that went in to it. Top score.… 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]
