    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is absolute trash , kill the main character from the first game at the start by making him look stupid , doesn't even give Ellie or Joel a single moment , trailer makes it look like you're gonna be playing with Joel but in reality you just don't even play as him at all.all they did was kill all the males and take a **** on ellie for absolutely no reason. game is a joke and litterally all you do on the first game ends up being for nothing because joel dies and ellie ends up alone anyway. 7 years , not worth the time , money or waiting 7 years for such garbage… Expand

    This game is an insult to the first one and all of the first games fans. It’s dreadfully bad and I’m sad to say this since I’ve been looking forward to it since they first teased it. I regret buying it day one and not wait for user reviews.

The gameplay is dynamic and engaging, with some of the best stealth and melee combat I have ever seen in a game. It is extremely polished and I only encountered 1 or 2 very minor bugs during my entire playthrough. The acting and dialogue is phenominal at times and really makes certain characters stand out.

    Never has any form of media challenged me this emotionally. The story is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, containing some of the most heartfelt, most upsetting and most distressing scenarios I have ever experienced. It asks you to re-evaluate your opinions on certain characters a number of times. It explores the idea that in the world of the Last of Us, no character is truly right or wrong, no heroes or villains and that blind revenge will leave make you lose everything.

    The narrative structure of the game is extremely ambitious and complex, and may not be for everyone. Even though I personally enjoyed it greatly, I do find the story to have some pacing and structural issues that affect the flow of the game, especially in the latter half of the story.

    Another minor issue for me is that I found a few side characters to be under-developed and would have liked a little more back story to make later scenes including them more impactful.

    Overall this is a brilliant, unforgettable game and piece of storytelling that will live long in my mind.    … Expand

    This game has made me emotional in a way no game has done before. It's a harsh roller coaster of a story and really takes gaming story telling to the next level. What a great send off for the Playstation 4 generation! Well done Naughty Dog, well done.

    The last of us part II embrace a huge gambling and from my perspective it paid off. While I understand some people playing the game and dislike it, It had a big impact on me. The only issue i felt is the pacing, which is inconsistent sometimes, overall it’s a solid 9/10.

On the gameplay side the ai felt smart and trying to evade groups of people hunting you down was seriously fun and exhilarating. To people saying the story felt "utterly pointless" in the end, you didn't understand a single bit of what the game was trying to teach you (and for that matter what it was NOT trying to teach you, it is not a preachy game either). Give it a second play through, you won't regret it.… Expand

    The game is about vengance being an obsession not that violence is bad... the message that the games give is amazing. A complete emotional challenge, you will need a couple of weeks to actually understand what the games is about. A complete peace of art

    Stunning visual quality butchered by cheap and lazy story writing. The game also had barely any improvements on gameplay mechanics since the original game.

Part 2 is not for fans who want the same type of dark yet hopeful experience that the first game gave us. I found my experience was enhanced exponentially by allowing myself to emotionally “buy in” but that also requires signing up for a hell of a roller coaster. It has solid replayability in my opinion, I’m almost done with my second playthrough and it’s definitely a different trip. I can’t recommend this game enough to people looking for a unique experience. There’s an old quote that can be modified to do TLOU2 justice, “For those who’ve experienced it, no explanation is necessary. For those who haven’t, no explanation will suffice.” This one will stay with me for life, simple as that.… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is one of the most dearing, gut wrenching, heart pacing stories Naughty Dog has ever created. It has a very fun and satisfying game-play loop, along with making you strategize and think on your approaches to bypass the enemies. In terms of technical and graphic fidelity, Naughty Dog continues to show the gaming industry that they are one of the best developers.

    I am a big fan of the first part of the game. But I also really liked the second one, with its graphics, its characters and, of course, the plot. I don’t understand why people cheat this game. Yes, there are a lot of LGBD people, but this does not spoil the game. And I have never met bugs. 9/10 because the first part is still better.

    Awesome game! The imperfection of all characters, the imperfect last conversations, the revenge which will not soften the pain, all was crafted perfectly. Creators made a game different from all other games and you need to embrace it to see it. I love it. Takes balls to create such a game.

The visuals of this game are as beautiful as the violence is gruesome. The combat felt much more personal and the NPC’s AI clearly was stepped up from the first game’s already outstanding output. Currently replaying it on a harder difficulty. The review bombs on this site are very unfortunate and a disservice to the people it may actually influence to not play this incredible game. I loved the story of part 2. If you have poured through the thousands of negative reviews to find this one then I say to you try it and have a mind of your own.

    Incredible masterpiece. The combat system is a massive improvement to the first game that provides a wide variety of player agency when it comes to handling enemies. You can use stealth (especially with the ability to prone), go in guns blazing or you can use a mixture. The choice is yours and the combat is very satisfying. The sound design is top-tier!

Listening to the Clickers or Stalkers run by really ramp up the tension.

    The environments are beautiful and there's enough of a variety to make each enemy encounter and combat scenario different from the last. Some of the areas have multiple levels where you can attack from higher grounds or sneak up on enemies by swimming through tunnels. The soundtrack is haunting and beautiful and matches the themes and tone of the game.

    Voice acting and facial animations are incredible achievements and accomplishments, providing a very cinematic experience for the entire game.

    Finally, the story - I absolutely loved it. The story and the way it was told made me feel a wide range of emotions and feelings from anger, sadness, joy, sympathy and empathy. I can definitely see why this story wasn't for everyone as the themes are quite dark and we see our favourite characters go through painful journeys, but that's how life is sometimes - unfair, painful, and tragic.

    Thank you Naughty Dog and I can't wait for your next project.    … Expand

    Ignore the review bombers. This game was a masterpiece. It'll stick with me for a long time. Not sure what story everyone else watched, but to me it had a clear evolution, turning point, and message. Gorgeous work. Hope they let this series lie here with this as the end note.

    I have no problem with ellie being a lesbian, for me, the bad thing is that the story is simply absurd, Ellie's behavior does not make sense and she only does all the necessary actions to turn bad, contradicting herself every two seconds and the other story is bad, if they had written everything in a note it would have been more interesting, as an interesting detail

    I think the low rating is related to the extremely high expectations from this sequel. If you leave the story aspect aside, which is indeed the weakest aspect here, then as a stand-alone game it is quite good. It is almost the same gameplay as in the previous one with some improvements, so if you liked the first you should be good with this one as well.

The problem in the gameplay, however, is that it does get repetitive after a while. And since this game is longer than the previous, at some point it does get tedious.
    So,
    Graphics - 10/10 - The game looks amazing as you could expect, the animations both in the cut scenes and the in-game are great.

    Sound - 10/10 - Great ambient sounds which gets you into the atmosphere, weapon shots and reloads sound amazing.

    Voice Acting 10/10 - As you expect from Naughty Dog, always deliver a perfect voice acting, all voice talents did an amazing job here.

    Soundtrack - 10/10 - Music which gets you into the atmosphere perfectly.

    Gameplay - 8/10 - Enjoyable, a bit improved from the previous game, but gets repetitive after about 70% of the game.

    Story - 3/10 - Well, it is bad. Really really bad. Not only it is not interesting, especially the second half of the game, some of the character's choices which affect the story, does not make to much sense.

    Overall I really enjoyed this game, but was very disappointed from the story.    … Expand

    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]
