    The Last of Us Part II might be set in a post-apocalyptic world, but its themes and its effect are both incredibly fitting for 2020.

    Invested from beginning to end, I spent an arduous and emotional six days to complete it. It proved my theories that video games are the future medium for entertainment. In a world where movies have grown stagnant and television has taken over, there’s nothing like experiencing a story you’re actually a part of.

    In a game like this, it’d be cheap and ill-fitting to give the player choice. And I say this as a person who had difficulty pressing the square button a few times during it. Giving us choice takes away from the narrative and sticking to the narrative doesn’t feel like you’re not in control. It’s a matter of preference, as with everything, but for me, I’m satisfied with every part of it and am on a NG+ run through as we speak, noticing different things. That, and I also don’t know what game can ever follow this one up for me—not something I say lightly (I wasn’t big into God of War, for example.)

    Loved it. Altered gaming just like the first.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is Game of Thrones Season 8 all over again. Season 8 of GOT was the most beautiful looking show that received the highest tv viewers for the last 6 episodes. Guess what, nobody talks about GOT anymore because the writing was inconsistent and bad. That is what will happen to TLOU2 due to bad writing. Graphics were great, but the game falls through if you want to kill a character in this game that you have to play for half the game.… Expand

    I can totally understand the user score being so low, obviously the storey is of a bitter taste and a heavy strike. But I found it is true to the heart and the storey line is completed really well, even it doesn't go where you want it go.
    I am expecting more acceptance over time. And Part 2 will be another remarkable masterpiece in the gaming history. My socre: GAME DESIGN 9 / STORY 10.

    Possibly better than the first depending on how you feel about certain story beats. The game has the same game play systems as the first but more refined and updated. The areas are much larger, with the level design you'll be exploring for awhile. This can slow the pacing a bit but a lot of extra character development happens in these sections.

This can slow the pacing a bit but a lot of extra character development happens in these sections. The game can take anywhere between 25-30 hours to beat usually. A bleak and sometimes shocking game, would not recommend to people sensitive to fairly graphic violence, violence against animals or scenes of torture. An emotional -if sometimes predictable- plot, the true shine of the story are the characters and their interactions. A fairly more character driven narrative than the first.… Expand

The Last of Us Part II is an excellent follow up to the original which greatly expands and improves both the gameplay and environment created in the original while coherently continuing the story told in Part I.

    It is the best game ever in my opinion. I liked that Naughty Dog took the risk to make a story as they wanted and did not fall for the fan service. I liked the stark story they decided to go for, and I hope It has some Dlc.

    I'm not going to get into spoilers here because half of the leaks were wrong or contextualised in a bad way.

    The story is absolutely heart wrenchingly good. It's not a story of revenge like everyone is saying. It's not a story of "killing is bad". Plenty of people do plenty of killing. It's a necessity in this world. This is a story about grief and hate.

    The story is absolutely heart wrenchingly good. It's not a story of revenge like everyone is saying. It's not a story of "killing is bad". Plenty of people do plenty of killing. It's a necessity in this world. This is a story about grief and hate. One thing leads to another and the characters end up being led by pure hatred. And I was too. The game made me feel the loss of the characters and made me want to "kill every last one of them". While I cared for some characters much more than others, it's still very easy to see that everything that the characters do, is well within what they would do if they were real people. Unfortunately this leads to some horrible and dark choices, but that is what would realistically happen. It's not bleak, it's evocative. It makes you feel the same sadness and the same happiness that the characters feel. The game has so many happy moments. Potato is a bundle of joy. They are emphasised so much by how dark the characters get in other scenes. It is all woven together and creates a huge contrast where - in the end - you're left with this sinking feeling of grey. In the end it's not about "revenge is bad". It's about how the characters grow and deal with the pain that they're living with, and the price that they have to pay for so desperately wanting that pain to go away. It's about acceptance that something has happened and you just can't change the past. You can't make memories go away, and that's something that we all have to deal with. Along with the choice of whether to let the hatred go or to sacrifice everything in your life in pursuit of satiating that hatred. Go into this game with an open mind. Don't just discount it or look for flaws. Honestly, I just wish there was more. Story is a 10

    Ellie is my favourite character. Let me get into the gameplay. Phenomenal play styles that really flow with the character that you're playing. It em
    phasises what you're able to do with the tools and physicality available to you. Stealth? Run and gun? Bit of both? You got it. You already know about the enemies calling each other by names and the brutality of it all. Honestly, to me it was just incredibly satisfying to have the different options where I could lay traps, lure people to a place, swim under water and attack someone from behind. Maybe even threaten someone else by holding their friend hostage. Or even just evading them all can end up exciting. It's all accessible too, which is great. Very customisable. Gameplay is a 10.

    Very great graphics and gameplay, nice atmosphere also, but biggest problem was the story that i didn't like it at all. In a Naughty Dog i always spect a brilliant story, but with this game i didn't get that. To me, is a 4/10 at best.

    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]
