    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything about this game is perfect, except the story. The story certainly gave reviewers a lot to write about, but apparently the author touched himself to tears, and just wants to rub it in our faces.

    We didn't play the first half, hunting Abby down, just to see the story ended suddenly upon seeing her face but couldn't do anything. We suffered though the whole second half, as Abby, just to play her side of the past 3 days, and get back to the scene when Ellie meets Abby, and we didn't buy this game so we can play as Abby to defeat Ellie. And we didn't play the last part, to hunt Abby again, just to let her go at the end.

    The author knows exactly what he should've done, but he does the opposite on purpose.
    He wants to make "whether to kill or forgive Abby" an ultimate question, like the one we faced at the first game, but failed humiliatingly due to it's his self movement instead of a mutual sharing and udnerstanding with players. He forced us to feel what he wants us to feel, instead of what we really feel.

    TLOU2 is a beautifully brutal and unforgiving game. With graphics and details which compete with that of Rockstar's 'Red Dead Redemption 2' and combat mechanics that are inarguable one of the best among PS exclusives, TLOU2 could've been worthy of a high score.

With graphics and details which compete with that of Rockstar's 'Red Dead Redemption 2' and combat mechanics that are inarguable one of the best among PS exclusives, TLOU2 could've been worthy of a high score. 'Could' have been. However, the story and character dynamics is what draws the line, hence my inability to rate this game any higher than 7. Every side character in TLOU2 are one-dimensional to the point that it hurt my brain. I adore a good relationship build-up between 2 characters amidst a zombie apocalypse. But Ellie & Dina? I hate how the game tried to shove them down my throat. Like no, I don't care about them. They have no chemistry, I don't know anything about Dina (neither do i want to, because she's so one-dimensional and a burden). When the game made me control Abby in the second half, at first I was angry like most others but at one point, i gave up on the anger and decided to look at the story from a new perspective. Even from an unbiased point of view, Abby's story arc is a cheap rip-off of TLOU1. Lazy writing, just a lazy attempt at manipulating the player's emotions into liking Abby. It didn't work, though. I still didn't like her. Her height phobia was a good detail, for the sake of comedic relief. The addition of a cult like Seraphites is an interesting idea, on paper. But the game couldn't even make a cult arc good. They deserved an award for this abomination. In conclusion, the gameplay makes up partially for the bad writing. Instead of 'The Last of Us Part Two', if it were a whole different game with characters you've never seen before, maybe-- just MAYBE this game would have been worthy of a higher rating. But, oh well.… Expand

The worst thing you can do is to arbitrarily kill off the most beloved protagonist in the stupidest way, force you to like the murderer with the "Did you like her yet?" moment, and then force you to forgive at the end. Subvert expectations? No, this is just lazy writing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Series deserves to be on any must play list. Specifically in order. The first game exemplifies how to write a perfect story. The audience can easily follow the character driven story. A story that attaches the player to Joel and Ellie; to such an extent that even a casual player cares about them. As the next game sets up, the player is shown the huge rift between Joel and Ellie; Due to Ellie learning about what actually happened in the hospital. Ellie alienates Joel for what he did, the bond is still there but it is barely holding- Upon Joel’s death the player shares ;Ellie’s Pain, Sorrow, Rage, and want to inflict your mutual Vengeance. You feel that initial satisfaction and vindication as you hunt down Abby. It is not until you’re forced to play as Abby, do you see the wake of your desperation-
    At the beginning of Abbys journey you truly hate her. You want her and her friends to fail. But you’re forced to see who these people actually are anyway. It’s trying to tell you that doing things out of hate will not make you happy-
    We find Ellie living with her love interest on a beautiful ranch in Montana; and it feels like Ellie has made her peace. Except instead of Ellie moving on, she is struggling with PTSD. The only solution she sees is taking Abbys Life as she took Joel’s-
    The finale brings you within breaths of your revenge; and right before its finally over. Ellie lets go of her hate & animosity towards Abby, realizing Joel is a bright light in her life and Abby can never take that away from her- The player feels robbed because of this, even if you did not want Abby to die anymore. Its an equivalent feeling to holding in a long stayed sneeze. Naughty Dog shot for the moon with this sequel, and it looks and plays INCREDIBLY. -The fact Ellie hates Joel because he saved her from the fireflies blows my mind. He never tells her that they drug her, or beat him senseless. Or that no vaccine for fungal human infection has EVER been made; let alone in an apocalyptic scenario. -The attention to detail here is second to none, compared to the games coming out now. - a large part of the first game was showing the player just how HARD it is to traverse this world. Yet here we’re jumping hundreds of miles in seconds. -Playing as the villain for half the game is a unique concept that the average consumer has never seen. They were very close to something great here, but that does not make it bad. Which is why I gave it a 7 out of 10. It’s an above average game; and in comparison to the games that have been released since then it’s a knockout.
    If you can get this game below 60 dollars it’s a steal. You get a lot of game for your money here. And I want to make this perfectly clear if you hate this game because you can’t handle a lesbian main character or that Abby is “implied” to be trans then please spare the rest of us by not writing another review.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics and gameplay are of the highest quality.
    I can't really say anything else that the game is beautiful and the gameplay is done extremely well. The killing, stealth, weapons and ways of eliminating enemies is top notch.
    If I would rate only those aspects, it would have been a 10 out of 10.

    Unfortunately (and I really can't stress this word enough) the storytelling, character development and twists are of the lowest quality.
    The game forces you to do something you don't want to, that in itself would be fine, if that "thing" didn't last 10-12 hours.
    I didn't really care for the supporting characters, because they either had no depth or were sidelined from the storyline so fast I couldn't get used to them (or start to like them).

    About Joel's death. I don't mind the decision to do it, but if you do something so ballsy, you better have something to fill that enormous gap you just made and Naughty Dog failed to deliver just that.
    The first game was all about the relationship between Joel and Ellie. If you cut half of that (kill Joel) and cripple the other half by no character development (Ellie), you receive a very flat storyline.
    And jeeesus, in the Ellie part of the game you mostly gather stuff from abandoned buildings, sometimes you get interrupted to kill, it was really not entertaining to click that triangle for 10 out of 12 hours.

    Now about Abby and her whole "story". It made me really disappointed I have to play a character I didn't like for 10-12h. Also they throw you into that just after a big cliffhanger with the only person you care about in this game, which is Ellie. That decision was terrible, it made me lose all interest in the game, which wasn't much to begin with after that flat storyline of the Ellie part.
    The relationship between Abby and Lev was a sliver of hope I hung on to, when I tried to force myself through this game.
    Maybe this is going to sound controversial, but in my opinion the game could've been saved if they made part II solely about Abby. They could get a little more detailed and flesh out the war between WLF and Seraphites, put those 10-12 h they used on an undercooked Ellie story to a better use.

    But because they divided a game into 2 different stories I got one story that failed every expectation I had about Joel and Ellie, and a second story I didn't care about, because it wasn't the reason I bought the game (looking at you trailers, teasers and comments from producers before the game).
    That's why the storyline, characters and their interactions have to receive a 1 out of 10, not a 0 out of 10.
    I can respect that they tried something different, but they failed.

    The overall average score should be 5.5 then, but I'm giving it a 4 out of 10, because I'm adding a personal factor to the score of being mad at what they did to one of my favorite titles that is The Last of Us.

    To sum it up, it was a beautiful but disappointing experience.    … Expand

I'm glad I haven't bought it before at a highest price 'cos I'd probably remained burned.

    TLoU Part II is the game that I've always heard about by many people: a graphical and cinematic masterpiece with a recycled gameplay from the previous game, zero innovation and a poorly written story with weak characters and an almost nonsensical plot.

    First thing to say is that this game is solid AF. In my playthrough of 30 hours I met 0 bugs, 0 glitches and no crashes at all. Never, no matter the situation, I had problems at all.

    The graphic of this game is top notch. You'll remain stunned by the beauty of the world and the cure for every single detail. From the movement of the grass, the snow and how the warm blood of enemies melts it, the landscapes (both natural and artificials), the sunflares when you direct the camera against the sun ecc everything is absolutely gorgeus, a marvel for the eyes. It's obvious that the artists that worked on this game had a solid vision about the game's world and how to make it. The mix of "city-jungle" it's a clear prof of it. Of course this is the same for the characters, their faces, models ecc. Yes, this game looks really cool and you'll love to just spend time looking around and playing with the photo mode.

    Gameplay wise... well, its TLoU. The gameplay is literally just copy-pasted from the previous game and while TLoU was a good game for its generation, TLoUII feels outdated. Same crafting system, same weapons improve system, same skills improve system, same stealth, same weapons... you got it. There are few additions like the possibility to dodge enemies' attacks which I personally really felt like useless. For puzzles, instead of ladders you're going to use ropes (puzzles are incredibly simple and will recquire at maximum 30 seconds to figure them out), and now you can full crouch and hide yourself in the high grass. Of course this is not Uncharted, we're not going around for ancient tombs trying to solve wierd puzzles to open doors and treasure rooms, but it really feels like that these puzzles are there just 'cos "there were in TLoU" and that's it. They're so simple and useless that you wonder why the hell they put them on the game at this point. If you're expecting more then this, you'll remain disappointed. Gunplay is simply HORRIBLE. It is imprecise, it is clunky, it's slow. Hell, I don't understand why someone who has passed YEARS to shot zombies and people can't aim "straight" and instead shake his hands like a drunk. Who thought this was a good idea? Now we have big areas (much bigger then TLoU) full of enemies and dealing with them is so frustrating. There are TOO MANY ENEMIES, play stealth is so hard that a certain point you just give up and decide to go rambo just to die 'cos enemies will kick your a** using the advantage of the number.

    The story. Listen, I have no idea where all of this was going for. It's like that who wrote this started with an idea but then realized he didn't actually know how to concretize it. The story starts with this "revenge plot", but for how the things go at a certain point you don't know what is going on anymore. Characters are bad written, the plot just goes on for "convenience". While in TLoU you one had so many beloved characters here secondary characters are absolutely meaningless and you really don't care if they die or not. At the end of the game there is the greatest attempt to manipulate the audience I have ever seen in my entire life just in order to cover the mess that the story was so far. I really can't explain without spoilers why it is so bad. What can I say is that if you hope for a TLoU story level, you'll remain absolutely disappointed.

    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...
