    It's a flawed masterpiece. I don't understand the hate this game is getting. I never thought a video game could make you feel this way.

    I gave the game a fair chance. While the gameplay was alright and the story had its moments, it had even more drags - and ultimately ended in a disaster. It's a revenge story that's hard to pay off and you feel it from the beginning, but the character's decisions are increasingly weak and hard to believe let alone identify with.

    I love this game! I understand if you don't like this game, only if you actually completed the it. If you don't like the game do it having a gay main character then get out.

    The game has mixed emotions, I pretty much expected this to happen. People would either totally hate the game or praise it as a masterpiece. I, myself loved the game, the gameplay was great, just like the previous one. The story though, didn't start off as strong as the first part, but ended on a great note.

    Idiots who set low rating obviously didn't play this. Being kind of biased against the first game which I considered to be good, but overrated, I was rather skeptical. But this is just breathtaking.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I've finally finished the game and the first thing I have to say is save your judgement for Abby until the end please. I hated her but come to find out her and joel aren't so different. This game has a revolving theme revenge and loss. It seems the that people will go so far for revenge that they're willing to sacrifice everything which is why the ending is so bittersweet. In my opinion it was a fantastic game. It kept me on edge the entire playthrough and at times it was almost maddening to play through because of the feelings I had from moments in this game. It was great and I'll miss Joel so much. 7/10 from me.… Expand

    A gorgeous, perfectly written story about purpose, vengeance, loss and trauma. TLOU2 isn't for everyone, because if you stop coding homosexuality and/or mental illness and/or PTSD with literary devices such as "immune to the zombie virus" or "being a magical cursed chosen one" many get upset, but I suppose that's too bad for them, and it's not for them anyway - to quote Marty McFly - "yourA gorgeous, perfectly written story about purpose, vengeance, loss and trauma.

And, to put it less gently - pathetic incels like you deserve not enjoying this fantastic game, pathetic incels like you deserve no pleasure whatsoever - only a hell of tearful outrage and whinging, forever.

    As for the rest - it is not mechanically all too different from TLOU, maybe even too much like it (with silly shivs still coming back), but it plays great, sounds great and looks incredible. The graphics, set-pieces and design are awe-inspiring, the actors are fantastic. It is a 10/10, truly.

    Still, the story is probably make or break for most, and for me it was outstanding.    … Expand

    This game is visually amazing and the soundtrack and overall audio is so well done, it also does well in terms of representation however for me personally, without going into spoilers, the story falls short and is organised poorly.

This game does not deserve the 0-4/10 range of reviews i believe that's an unfair representation of the game, equally it does not deserve the 8.5-10/10 range that is also, in my opinion, a biased representation of the game. This game is, realistically, somewhere around the 5-8/10 level, depending on your personal preferences. To some it will be bitterly disappointing and to others it will tick many boxes. I think the reason people give it the extremely low scores is partly due to extremely high expectations, this has a lot to do with the previous game and the overall problem of 'hype' which leads to unhealthy high expectations and inevitable let down, they also feel like they were. at times, lied to. A lot of things in this game were misrepresented in the marketing and that is unfair to them. Personal i would give this game a 7.5/10.
    It is dragged down primarily by the story structure, pacing and narrative as well as tired gameplay mechanics which aren't improved upon much when compared to tje first game. It is pushed up by visuals, sound design and representation and some (albeit not many) instances of good writing.
    Ultimately i would wait till its on sale but its worth experiencing at some point just not at its released price point.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is above average game play wise, i was constantly on the edge of my seat in combat, fully emerged in the beautifully crafted world, but the story didn't do justice. Half the game seems like a DLC that no one asked for, and as a player who went in knowing nothing of the leaks or even trailers... I was so disappointed. I don't want to play as Abby after she kills Joel, which instantly made her the villain to me. The constant Abby = good Ellie = bad is borderline offensive. Abby pets dogs? Ellie kills them. Ellie kills a pregnant lady and instantly regrets and is mortified by her actions, while Abbys gets to say "good" to Dina's with a knife to her throat. And again, you want me to sympathize for these character. After all that they did, and all that their friends did. I don't care how sweet the Owen character is after i killed him 4 hours ago. I just don't care. The gameplay is good, so its above a 5. The original was a 10/10 in my opinion, and the lack of a good story here brings it down 4 points instead of the usual 1 for my reviews. Shame.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited for 7 years for this game and was very hyped. I thought it was too expensive at the release but I bought it anyway.

    unfortunately, I read the leaks and could not believe them so I had to play it to prove that Naughty Dog would not make this mistake by killing Joel. By Telling a story about a character, ABBY, I don't care about.

    The gameplay was wonderful like the animations and so on but I really hated the story. It has too many plotholes, the flashbacks drag you out of the story and the ending is pointless. There are so many great characters that die in the end or you don't know what happend to them like Dina and her baby. They are just gone.

    It is a very good videogame if you just want to shoot people and infected with one of the best skillbased shooting in history but the story is trash.

    The Score of 4 points are just for the game itself (excluding story and storytelling) the other parts which are more important for me get 0 points. I hope Naughtydog will learn by this socring of the game and will think about a satisfaying story which the players and the characters deserve!    … Expand

I liked moust of the carecters excepte Abby even if I played the game 3 times I still dont understand why you had to play with her for over 10 houers. They tried to make like a Joel and Ellie story with her and Lev but bouth caracters didn't had any social skils and it wasn't as clouse of being a story like the first game. The only caracter that i liked in her side of the story was Manny. And also iI didn't like that they killed Joel in the first houer eaven thou he still apears in the game. But in this game I loved Ellie Dina Tommy Joel and Jesse eaven though some of them didn't apeard as much as they should have.… Expand

    This game twisted my heart inside out, I felt every second of the journey and empathized with every character. There is not white and black here, the entire story is a very intricate, bloody, heartwarming grayscale. Graphics are beyond beautiful and the gameplay makes you feel every punch, shoot and every death.

    Is it flawed in the pacing and narrative sometimes? Yes. Is it too long? Yes. Was it very fun and at times an exciting experience overall? Absolutely. I don't know how anyone can call this a "bad" game. I think even calling it average is pushing it. But if you genuinely feel that way, fair enough.

    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]
