    Wonderful graphics alone don't make for a good game. The storyline in several places just make you want to throw your controller at the TV.....

    So I'm seeing a lot of people who haven't even played the game have a lot to say about it. Most of what they are saying in detail about the game are either coming from their personal feelings, or skillups review.

    In my opinion this game lives up to part one, and I can say that because well, I have played both games. The story is still amazing and I actually like this more.

    In my opinion this game lives up to part one, and I can say that because well, I have played both games. The story is still amazing and I actually like this more. Everything makes sense and everything is justified. The game mechanics are very good, gameplay is amazing and intense.

    Now to those who are basing everything off of, well, nothing really, I have one ask. Play it through, or at least watch someone do it. The things you THINK you know, you don't really know. The people who you claim to know in this game, you don't. This game goes in far deeper than any leak you have seen. Please stop judging 30hrs worth of a game on 3hrs that you know nothing about.    … Expand

    Wow, it will be hard to find some another master piece like that, it's a great in so many levels. I never think that they could do a better Game than the first, but they really did it.

    The game is one of a kind, comparing to everything else out there. The gameplay mechanics are amazing, a step up from the first part in all ways. I like how they kept the core gameplay elements of the first part and then added more elements like new combat mechanics and also some new platforming elements, similar to what we saw in UC4. The combat is brutal which makes it realistic. Some kills feel satisfactory some make you sorry, especially when it comes to killing dogs in this game. This sort of feeling that makes you question your own humanity is a huge part of what makes this game great. There are no good or bad characters, there are people who make decisions based on their own need to survive in this brutal and unforgiving world ND has created for us. The whole LGBT aspect in the game didn't feel pushed at all. If that is what ruined the game for you than i feel sorry for you.
    As a survival horror game it truly delivered. Resources are scarce on higher difficulties, both human and infected enemies are scary as hell, especially in the darker enviroments.
    Overall the story was amazing. Sad, but amazing at the same time. It gave you a bitter feeling, but also a tiny bit of hope. Because that was what ND intended.
    I highly recommend you to play the game fully yourself and not judge it from streams or spoiler reviews. This game has to be played by yourself to enjoy and fully undesrtand it. 10/10 would replay agian and again.    … Expand

    So disappointing. First game had an incredibly deep story line that had me hooked the whole way. This one was shallow, guided by the principal of "ram my wokeness down your throat". Nothing pulls you out of the immersion of a game like that does.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's not overly stretch this review. The last of us part II is a MASTERPIECE. Not a rare but a UNIQUE gem in the gaming industry.
    VISUALS/GRAPHICS: 9.8/10
    The visuals, and the overall technical realisation of the game is nearly perfect, except for the fire visuals and effects that are clearly limited by this console's generation's problems. There are some little glitches all over the game but they are almost meaningless.
    GAMEPLAY/ANIMATIONS: 9.8/10
    The gameplay is renewed and restyled but clearly inspired by the first chapter's fundamentals. It betters every single aspect of it and adds new mechanics that keep the game's overall style. The playable maps are enormous and almost completely explorable, filled with curiosities, touching and heartbreaking side stories and collectibles so detailed only Naughty Dog could bless us with. The combat sequences are extremely satisfying, flexible and realistic, as you can reestablish a stealthy profile by running into the grass and keeping a prone position. The A.I., especially the humans enemies' sets new standards for the whole industry, enemies can flank you, easily overwhelm you. They all have names and they can get angrier if you kill their friends or their dogs, the new type of enemies, extremely sensible to every noise and smell. Killing enemies in The last of us part II is not an easy decision. Enemies will scream painfully or angrily, dogs will mourn their owners. The infected enemies are of course less intelligent than humans but overall more dangerous and renewed. Runners are now more aggressive and overwhelming, stalkers are terrifying and extremely deadly when it comes to a close combat with them. Clickers can easily spot any noise you produce and quickly kill your character. The new shamblers are extremely dangerous as they are die hard, violent monsters that are able to eject burning spores that can sometimes trap you in a corner, hopeless. The bloaters are way more difficult and violent in this game and will cause you a lot of problems. The new Rat King is surely the most challenging boss fight of the whole series. Furthermore the two characters have different weapons and abilities that can be used and improved. I noticed the falling animation was a little less taken care of.
    STORY MODE AND PLOT: 9.5/10
    The story mode is devastating, moving and grounded. The plot twists are incredibly well played and empowered by the incredible acting of the characters' mo-cap actors. Joel's death is the consequence of his actions. Because nobody is a 'good guy' in the universe of The last of us, as Tess reminded Joel in the first game before her death,-We're sh*tty people Joel-. Abby had the complicated burden of justifying her terrible actions throughout the game and she partially did. Naughty Dog make us live her human relationship with the characters we previously saw involved in a terrible action of revenge. But we never forget our true reasons and Ellie, the actual protagonist of the game is focused on her goal. She eventually understands that killing Abby won't bring back Joel and in a touching final scene she lets her enemy go, with the boy she previously saved. Abby lost everything she loved because of her lust for revenge and Ellie proves to be a better human being than her. She then realizes how her revenge obsession brought away the good things she had left, Dina and her son. JUST LIKE Abby.
    SOUNDTRACK: 9.5/10
    The soundtrack is easily on an upper level and Gustavo Santaolalla demonstrates his talent with tracks that can make your emotions already simulated by the cutscenes even more intense, even though I feel like the first game's track are slightly more inspired.
    IMPERFECTIONS SUMMARIZED:
    Nothing is perfect, and The last of us makes no exception. Some parts of the plot seem to be stretching the game a little bit, for example the still beautiful but slightly unnecessary gameplay sequence during the war between the WLF militia and the Seraphites cult. Some animations are still a bit rough, like the falling animation that can be revisited and there are some little graphic glitches, some textures disappearing when you're looking at them in certain spots, the fire effects and visuals seem a bit 'old', though this little problems don't ruin the experience. As I said, nothing is perfect, neither is The last of us part II, but let me state it goes pretty damn close to perfection.
    A must have, generation defining game. Incredible. 10/10    … 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]
