    The gameplay felt a little dated, there were some glitches, however, the story destroyed the characters from the first game. The intelligence of Joel dropped, he made mistakes that he would never had made.
    Poor game, will annoy a lot of dedicated fans. Plus points ... it looked good, the voice acting was good.
    Please please please do not make a sequel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This game is a disgrace. They disrespected a character we all loved just to write a boring and petty revenge story. Awful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this game. I’ve been looking forward to it for years, much like a lot of other ND fans. I believe that Neil Druckmann was looking to avert expectations and take risks. I don’t think that those risks paid off, because at the center of it- this story is a bleak journey with poor motivations and no real message or heart. The love and theme of parenting in the first game is what made it good- this game doesn’t have anything meaningful to say. It can’t decide on a single message, and that is the worst problem of them all. Many people have argued whether they love or hate playing as Abby. I personally liked it, and I thought that Lev and Yara were great characters that I desperately wish I could have seen more of. The seraphites are so interesting, and both them and the WLF make a lot of sense. Their different ways of living were obviously thought out with extreme care. It’s just a shame that the characters were not treated as well as the environments, tech, gameplay, and sound- which are all fantastic. There are some big pacing issues, with both gameplay and story. Many sequences could have been cut out, and huge, HUGE parts of the story could have been replaced or re-arranged. The timing and location of Joel’s death made it so that flashbacks were dispersed throughout the story in a way that felt disconnected and strange. Despite great performances, it was hard to get really invested or emotional in Joel and Ellie, except for a few key moments. It shouldn’t be hard to invest in them, but the story structure and the heartlessness was fighting.

    The messages of saving the person you love at any cost could have been pushed further. If Joel and Ellie went on a trip to avenge Tommy’s death, that could have allowed these two characters to work out their conflict with what Joel did to save Ellie all those years ago. Joel would have been in-character to tunnel-vision in on revenge, while Ellie would be the one to realize that it was pointless, and it wouldn’t make either of them happier. Perhaps if something then happened to Joel, the story could revolve around Ellie’s guilt and sadness in a more meaningful way. There is much, much more that I can talk about here, but I’ll just cut short and say that there would be many ways to tie in the different factions, Abby, lev and Yara into this game. Countless ways to make them more interesting and relevant to Ellie’s journey. The gameplay adds a lot of new elements to it, that I feel really enhance things. There are some hits and some misses, but boy- the hits are REALLY spectacular. The new enemy types and boss fights (especially the one main one) are more amazing than I could have even imagined. There are many good things to say about the beauty and amazing details of this world. Overall, this game is a bloated, disconnected, meaningless mess. But it sure does look beautiful, and it plays extremely well. I can’t hell but feel like the confidence that Neil Duckmann has had regarding this game must mean that he is an ego-driven writer who needed someone like Bruce Straley to level him out. He’s been a personal hero of mine for years, but he’s lost my faith in him. He told fans to trust naughty dog, but I’ve lost that trust in his writing. I’m not sure how Halley Gross contributed exactly, but she surely didn’t do enough to save the story. I’m extremely sad and disappointed that this wasn’t the masterpiece that I was hoping it would be.    … Expand

    Just try to endure this to get what I mean. Sit through subplots you don't care about, character motivations you don't understand, gameplay that annoys you because of its repetition for way more than it has to last.

    This franchise, unlike Uncharted, was supposed to be about real life with real relationships in a very hard situation. I saw this in the first one, but here I see plot stupidity and LOTS OF IN-YOUR-NOSE LGBT AGENDA. Sorry guys, this is not a brutal world of survival in post-apocalypse era, this is your political lobby. Keep it in your pants.    … Expand

    I feel like I was betrayed and stabbed in the back. I cringed in the start, I am half way through the game and still cringing. Each step feels like the knife is being twisted and dugs deep in my heart. The environmental looks good but the pain does not stop. I feel nauseous.

    I played all of this game over the weekend. The zombie battle evolved and the graphics improved. If you've enjoyed LOU gameplay, I recommend buying it, but if you've come across a lyrical and thought-provoking story, never buy it.

    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]
