    No Spoilers - Honest High Level Review.

    I divide this review into 2 main parts, technical aspects and story. 1. Technical: The Last of Us Part II is an absolute masterpiece if you look at the quality of the game play, graphics and overall atmosphere of the game. All the levels are beautifully crafted, the weapons are smooth and lethal, the violence is raw and the levels are scary and    No Spoilers - Honest High Level Review.

    I divide this review into 2 main parts, technical aspects and story.

    1. Technical: The Last of Us Part II is an absolute masterpiece if you look at the quality of the game play, graphics and overall atmosphere of the game. All the levels are beautifully crafted, the weapons are smooth and lethal, the violence is raw and the levels are scary and emotional. Because of this, I don't blame the developers or designers at Naughty Dog, they've done an incredible job and should be praised and compensated for it.

    2. Story: The piece that breaks the experience and the reason why there are so many negative reviews. Simply put, the story makes no sense. Key and beloved character murdered in almost the first hour of game play seems to imply that the game will be fast paced but the game ends up taking 25+ hours to finish. From the murder scene mentioned, nothing happens outside of a couple deaths of characters that you don't even get to know. The story ends without anything major happening, the last scene is one that could be blamed for the debacle. The last couple hours of game play should have never been included in the game, again, absolutely nothing happens but a symbolic loss of flesh (sounds weird and it is).

    Conclusion: it's pretty easy to say that the Last of Us series is done. Taking into account the story of this game and the negative reaction of the public, I can almost guarantee that it won't even cross the mind of Neil Druckmann to create another part for this series. On a personal note, I was amazed by the quality of the game play but extremely disappointed by the story and the choices made in this game. One big let down that will be hard to forget.    … Expand

    Superb successor to the first game with intense and engaging gameplay and an emotional story that gets you invested with the characters. Overall an amazing game that has a few story elements I would change personally but that's just me being nitpick.

    The game is obviously beautiful, animations top notch. Game play is only a marginal improvement from the first game.

    I'll start off by saying that I loved the story of the first game and I knew that the logical follow up would be a game focused on Ellie. The major issue with this game is the story, it's atrocious. Ellie is a shell of her former self, making choices that are so absurd and    The game is obviously beautiful, animations top notch.

Joel is very much in the same boat, he does not have the same skepticism that kept him alive for so long. I am exhausted by the dumb accusations of homophobia or trans-phobia. I could not give a s*it if there are lgbtq characters as long as they are believable and written well. The writers here threw in the towel and clearly did not care how the story was concluded or if it made any sense. I am so tired of this game, goodbye Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I avoided spoilers for so long so when I picked up the last of 2 I could not wait to play this game. Yes the gameplay is fantastic and I was completely impressed with it, but what ruins this game is the story. The story is just so awful with the way it treats its characters. Within the first hour of my play through I had to witness one of my favorite characters get brutally slaughtered, right then and there I was ready to take the disc out of my PlayStation and throw the disc out my window. But I gave it a second chance and again I was impressed by visuals and gameplay but the story is what holds it back. Then the unthinkable happens and the game switches over to the most hated video game character of all time and that is Abby this part of the game I just kept killing her on purpose over and over again Until I reached the worst ending of all video game History!!!! I could not believe THATS how this game ends. Such a waste of money and the sad part is I can’t even get a refund. I don’t get how anyone can support naughty dog beyond this point not only they treat their employees like **** but they also treated one of their most beloved game like **** save your money and don’t support this evil studio.… Expand

    -Amazing graphics
    -Good gameplay

    Cons:
    -The story is a mess
    -Characters don’t have enough development to make you care or relate
    -They killed Joel in such a dishonourable way to kick off their agenda based story
    -Ally is playable to make you sympathize with her motives but it’s just ridiculous

    Conclusion:
    If you just want mindless fun in a survival horror environment with great graphics and gameplay, this is for you. If you are actually invested in the original characters and you enjoy a well written story, this is not for you.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is incredibly disappointing. I had a feeling it wouldn't be as good as the first game, but this was just a garbage story. There were so many flashbacks and it just felt like the game was out of order. I also hated playing as Abby and almost wanted to stop playing the game entirely. Not to mention, the boss fight against Ellie as Abby disturbed me a lot and probably many others because I love Ellie and I have no sympathy for Abby... sorry. On the other hand, the graphics were amazing and the combat was okay, I liked the new additions (new infected, jump button, army crawl, etc.) I think they did a very good job of polishing the gameplay. Overall, I think I should have just watched play-throughs of this game on Youtube instead of actually buying it myself.… Expand

    Story misses the mark, the game drags on with poor characters and uninteresting story to end in a lackluster climax.
    On a positive note the game keeps the same feel of extreme violence with great graphics, but these alone can’t make this game what the the first one was. Do not buy, wait until free or drastically discounted.

    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]
