    The range of emotions I felt playing this game has me in awe, I sat watching the credits and accompanying score in their entirety with tears in my eyes.

    Imagine being told how a magic trick is done, watching it being performed anyway and afterwards believing it was real magic.

    That’s what this is.


    People giving this low scores are either not playing it at all and just jumping on a hatewagon, or too emotionally immature to see it for what it is, a masterclass in storytelling and a watershed moment in gaming history.    … Expand

    7 years ago, after finishing part 1, i was left with the feeling that should there ever be a part 2 it would be a much darker story.

    What a waste of a potential to explore the story between joel and ellie naughty dog has ruined what could have been a great game. The first one was amazing but this just has ruined the experience of the first game for me

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay, graphics and the character animation is absolutely fantastic, one of the best for the ps4 however the story has some many holes in it and I feel was very disrespectful to the fans of Joel and Ellie, why would anyone want to play as abby after she has tortured and murdered Joel, and especially for as long as you do play as abby, also another kick in the teeth for fans is the blatant lies that they did by showing scenes with an older Joel to make you think he is the game for a long time to then find out it is all flashbacks, it's a big shame as this game with a even a couple changes in the story would have been phenomenal.… Expand

    This game is just as bad as mass effect 3. I feel nothing but a huge, huge disappointment. Just the same mass effect 3 again. Wasted my time and money. Would never ever buy any naughty dog product from now on and forever, just like I never bought anything bioware-related after me3 fiasco.

I wanted more, and we have it. Take a moment to look around in any given room and the details are astounding. I was just in a random arcade filled with all sorts of perfectly detailed machines and games. Some of the complaints I've seen are just so bizarre. You're ok with killing hundreds of humans but it bothers you to kill an attack dog? I think there's a bit of generational disconnect going on here that parallels our political environment. Unfortunately a large portion of people can't separate their political know-it-all behavior from enjoying a video game and that's just awful for them. If you can, you'll love it, it's absolutely a masterpiece.… Expand

You can also customize the difficulty of your game, such as making your partners passive or aggressive, enemy difficulty, finding more supplies or less, and etc. You have to come to the game with an open mind and theorize.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, the devs at Naughty Dog need commending for the sheer quality of The Last of Us Part II, never have I seen such a graphical masterpiece coming from my PS4! This game brings smiles, tears, fear, shock and disbelief. It is a rollercoaster of emotion that is certainly hammered down in it’s final hours. It is unrelenting in regards to the revenge and hate aspect it’s quite clearly portraying, this game is certainly not for the faint hearted. The story, albeit a little skewed, is fantastic for the most part and the new character Abby, as much as people don’t seem to like her... I enjoyed her arc. Abby very much symbolises what Ellie has gone through and ultimately, both Abby and Ellie are as good and as bad as each other. The downside to this game would be the length of which you play as Abby, but other than that the game is golden. The negative reviews are certainly from people who haven’t taken the time to play the game through to it’s end and let the story sink in, this game is certainly a contender for GOTY if not GOTG! Neil Druckmann and Co have done a fantastic job with this title and the voice acting is 100% perfect! My only hope is that a Part III follows to wrap up the story once and for all! The Last of Us Part II as well as it’s predecessor are fine examples of deep, emotionally envoking story telling and I hope this trend continues going forward! Well done again Naughty Dog! You have earned this!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disregard the 0/10s. If someone personally hated every aspect of the story, every word that came out of the character's mouths; it still can't be a 0. People are willing to throw aside the game-play, graphics and animation because this is a sequel that gives all who played the first installment very intense emotions. I myself, was affected very strongly by the opening of the game. For a few moments, it wasn't a game anymore. Fixated on the screen, I played the game from start to finish in one sitting. But, even though I'm giving the game a strong 10/10, I did experience what those who gave it a 0 did. Watching Joel die was gut wrenching. We all cared about Joel, some of us cared more than we thought. This masterpiece doesn't get to be brought down because some of us can't handle our emotions. Would you prefer Ellie kill a barley alive Abby and leave a child to die? Would you prefer we turn Ellie into the monster she was hunting all along? Those who give 0/10s don't think about it because they can't see past our dead friend.… 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]
