    Good graphics but really bad and slow story, forced arguments and characters.

    An absolute amazing game. You thought one was good, well two is even better! The graphics are insane, the story telling is beautiful. Honestly 10/10 game!

    I still feel that the first game is better, narrative-wise, but gameplay was improved throughout.

    From animations to gunplay and especially the semi-open world areas. The narrative, although a simple revenge story, does confront the player with quite a horrific question. Is revenge justifiable?

    Un gioco che nelle cose che fa le fa al meglio, una trama matura e scritta alla perfezione dall’inizio alla fine, 30 ore di gioco curate nel minimo dettaglio, ti fa provare emozioni incredibili dall’inizio alla fine, migliore al primo in tutti gli aspetti. Chi lo critica semplicemente non è abbastanza maturo da affrontare un’esperienza così profonda.

    It's a gritty revenge story and it does a lot of the things you expect from a revenge story, but it does this better than any game I've ever played and takes a lot of risks which 100% pay off.

And the game took that and turned it on its head in a way that only a video game could.
    On a technical level the game is phenominal. The sound design is the best in any game I've played. It is breathtakingly beautiful at points and oppresively bleak at others and uses this combined with the sound design for excellent narritive effect. The gameplay is awesome too: combat feel excellent, exploring is exciting, crafting and survival mechanics are satisfying but with a level of tension to them, because the everpresent scarcity in your resources, and theres even a few enjoyable puzzles in it.
    The emotional impact the story had on me was really surprising as I don't usually feel affected by games, films etc. I'm a huge fan of the first game and love the characters but throughout the 25 hours I played it for, I felt genuine excitement, joy, fear and even shed actual tears. This is because the characters are fantastically well rounded and empathetic, even as they make bad decisions I understood their motivations and their complex and flawed personalities. In addition to that the game has probably the best representation of women, minorities and queer people in any big budget game that I know of and I respect Naughty Dog so much for doing that.    … Expand

    I want to love this game. I want to tell you that it is the perfect followup to the lives of the characters we love so much. The game starts and at first you are blown away by the exquisite details of the world, the graphics make the first game look almost basic in caparison. As the game progresses, a few less than enjoyable moments take place and the main theme of the game is revealed.I want to love this game.

As the game progresses, a few less than enjoyable moments take place and the main theme of the game is revealed. The next 10 or so hours, the gameplay and story actual becomes very exciting and engaging, the pace climbs to what feels like the climax and then.. you are brought back and all that building fizzles away. For the next 10 hours of the game you are forced to push yourself through one of the most tedious character arks of any game i have ever played. All combat had zero anxiety or stress as there is no incentive to want to survive. By the end of it you are forced to destroy everything you cherished from the first game. After all that you have to experience the longest finales of any game (seriously think lord of the rings extended edition level of ending) only to be left with zero closure, zero replay value and a sad feeling of waste as the game managed to prove multiple times that it could have been great. I dont know if it was laziness or an attempt to be extra hipster but all i do know is after waiting 7 years for this, i wont be waiting a second for TLOU3… Expand

    People are idiots and just following a trend, its a fantastic game with an incredible story with gorgeous environments and incredible gameplay. It might not be your cup of tea if you don't enjoy games with a good narrative or espionage kind of gameplay at times but if you genuinely enjoyed the 1st game youll enjoy this one just as much or maybe more.

I have to wonder, in a world where characters can shrug off being shot, crawl & run for hours without tiring and can build gun modifications from scraps, why is it only the depression that needs to be realistic?
    Either way, I returned my copy and put the money towards something else.

    So, I'll try to keep this spoiler free.
    First game I feel the need to actually rate and leave a review for on metacritic, so bear with me, not used to this. Let's start with the good parts.

The graphics are beautiful, the enemy ai is relentless and smart, the soundtrack is phenomenal, the combat is great, the animations are so good they might as well be a gen apart and the world oozes detail.
    All in all, its as damn near a masterpiece, if viewed on a vacuum.

    And let's move on the the problem. The story is a complete mess. There's a lot of it that doesn't convey what ND wanted to convey, it does not work at all.
    There's a lot of plot contrivances that ask a monumental amount of suspension of disbelief from the player.
    There's also the fact that the ending is the most nonsensical and ridiculous thing I've ever seen, it has no believability whatsoever and leaves the game as a crushing and unsatisfying experience that I will never want to replay and would trade in immediately if I hadn't got it digitally -_-.

    I could go into more detail about all of this, and probably should, but I really think spoilers should never be part of any kind of review. Let's just say, that when all is said and done, it completely negates any enjoyment all the good parts bring, and I cannot imagine who ever thought this was anything but bad and ham-fisted writing.    … Expand

    If you like the first game and you want to pick up where that one left off then this game isn't for you. It's absolute trash compared to the first game. One of the main characters from the first game is so blatantly disrespected I feel like I was watching the Last Jedi all over again where they ruined the Skywalkers.

    The game is depressing from start to finish and many times the game is just downright boring. People are praising the game for being "progressive" and pushing forward a certain narrative. Why are we judging a game based on it's political ideas? The first game was so much fun, and yes was depressing at times, but everything connected and made sense. I would give a hard pass on this game and the only reason why I gave this game a 0 instead of a 4 or 5 is because of the way Naughty Dog along with Sony have treated their community. Talk about Fascism? How about you stop taking down people's videos and channels for criticizing you?    … Expand

    An absolute slap in the face to anyone who enjoyed the first game. Joel as a main character is treated with complete disrespect and the once gregarious and funny Ellie is reduced to a moody brat and lost all likability. The new characters are all terrible with cringeworthy dialogue and hamfisted backstories.

    Joel die in a stupid way, then when you use Ellie to revenge, next second, Bang, you need to control Abby for 10 hours and bit up Ellie.
    Finally, can you kill Abby? NO, Ellie decide to forget Abby. So, Ellie end up losing 2 fingers, go back to an empty house, cant even play the guitar which Joel gave her.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part II truly changed the way I look at games. This was not only a game but a cinematic masterpiece. I loved the gameplay so much but I was extremely excited to get to the next cutscene. Ellie’s journey through Seattle really tested me. I began to see Ellie not as the sweet yet brutal little girl she was in the first game. This game really shines the light on her brutal side excluding some light moments with Dina. When the game switched over to abby I was a little frustrated. I don’t want to play through the her whole side of the story. But as it went along, I began to enjoy it more and more. The introduction of uses and lev really put the cherry on top for abbys side. At the end of the game I was heartbroken for Ellie. I wanted the best for her and to see what happened to her really hurt me. But as I digested the story I understood that Ellie really deserved what happened. I understood that Ellie, Abby, and Joel all did things that were awful. I still like Ellie more than abby but I was able to understand Abby more than I ever thought I would. The last of us part II is truly a masterpiece. A huge congratulations to Neil and the whole team at naughty dog. You have accomplished something no other game has ever done for me. I have never felt more emotion in a game then I did in this one. Bravo naughty dog, bravo.… 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]
