    Shame on you. This game is truly wrong and the garbage of the year!! It did not make me understand the connection with previous one and there is no point keeping title, “the last of us”. Big disappointment and I’m done with this game!

    A VERY vocal minority absolutely hates this game. All I can say is that they are wrong. This game is another genre defining masterpiece, with very few minor issues that only regards to gameplay.

    This game is an ambitious experience that challenges the fans of the first game, but doesn’t deliver the same strengths in interactive storytelling as we have come to expect from the best known Sony first party studio.

    Naughty Dog created a story that is intentionally one that audiences wouldn’t have expected. There are a wide range of experiences in this game that invoke Feelings of hate, anger, sadness and nostalgia. This is a roller coaster experience that isn’t solely a continuation of Joel and Ellie’s relationship as we knew it to be. Instead, Part II is an exploration of the impact of violence. Each character in this world has suffered loss and the player is forced to understand that repetitively, through many side characters presented in this game. there are moments in this game that will reward all players but if you’re strictly attached to the Joel and Ellie father-daughter relationship this game will not meet expectations. The best advice I can give to players is dive into this game with an open mind, trust that the 25 + hour long story will be met with solid conclusion.

    Overall, this game is a brave and beautiful exploration of humanity that finally comes together in the last few hours of playing. however, it falls short in its pacing and storytelling. The first game is not only a great game but a great piece of media to entertain a wide range of audiences globally. Part II is a good game from a technical standpoint but its narrative doesn’t quite resonate the same way as it’s predecessor.
    to end on a positive, this is easily the best looking game currently available on PS4 and it will be discussed for years to come.    … Expand

    My biggest complaint was that there were too many collectibles. I enjoyed reading the artifacts and the journals, however the trading cards and coins were a little overkill on the collecting.

    I understand that some people don't like the direction ND went, but I feel it made it a stronger story. Overall, as long as you go in with an open mind then I think many will enjoy the story.    … Expand

The performances are great and you really feel everything you're supposed to in the game. I wasn't a big fan of the switching POV's especially since it felt so out of nowhere, but once you get into the other character it isn't a big deal. I think the writing at the end is a bit flawed but it didn't take away from my overall experience with the game. I enjoyed this game a lot. It was heartbreaking and beautiful despite its flaws.… Expand

    This game had the potential to be a 10/10, but, sadly, the story is badly written and poorly executed. I like the ideas behind the game and everything appart from the story is 10/10. Maybe if they did some ajustements to the passing and cut some sections, the game could hit a 9 or 10. Little bit sad to know that this game could have been so much more. Still had fun for the most part.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It isn't ridiculous to think Joel may be killed off in this game because of his actions from the first game. Although sad, it made sense in a way. If I was making the game myself would I have killed him off this early or at all? No, but it didn't ruin the game for me. I enjoyed about 75% of this game, the game-play is special, I would be lying if I said I enjoyed the ending. I would be lying if I said I didn't think they added an underlying message which I felt was unnecessary, maybe this doesn't go for everyone but I'm completely comfortable with characters within a game being of whatever sexual preference, whatever gender they want, I just want a good story and it felt unnecessary to go through Lev's whole journey to becoming trans (just my opinion). The last couple of hours of this game made me forget how much I enjoyed a whole lot of it, Joel's death was sad but I feel like it could very much be justified for his actions at the end of the first Last of Us. Good, not great.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty dog/ Neil Druckmann made some controversial and risky moves on the plot in this title. Much of the game was an exercise in Ludonarrative dissonance, ultimately sadly resulting in an immeasurably uncomfortable and joyless playing experience. Being forced to beat up Ellie was the most egregious ‘spit in the fans face’ moment in any game i have experienced. Hating Abby then the game pulling a 180 and forcing you to play as her for half of the game required extreme effort and inner soul searching to empathise with her. Not particularly fun. It was essentially the torture mission from GTA 5 made into a full game. I felt numb and dead by the entire story and conclusion.… Expand

    Great locations, great visual, great technologies, great flashback's moments, great voice acting, good script-action moments.

    Disgusting story without a sense, not interesting characters, pointless dialogs, old 2013's gameplay (with minimal innovations in my opinion), useless exploring, stupid AI.

The previous game was not only not good, but it was a masterpiece, but why this masterpiece? Because the previous game described the relationship between father and child very well, but this game did not make such a decision at all, this game tried to explain revenge and I can't believe that it could describe it so well! In which movie, game and series did you see a two-way revenge story? We've always seen one side of the story, but now we're looking at it in a full, two-way way. These violent and sad worlds must be ready to lose even the main characters, just like the game world of Game of Thrones; In the end, I repeat, the game did not black out at all and does not make you present a soft and clean story like the previous version, but it does offer a story full of sadness, anger and hatred, and of course it is quite successful in this way, in short, if you want to Take this pure pleasure game and your score is the same as Mr. Jafarian's score, you just don't have to play the game with the previous game view, this is a new game in 2020 not a game in 2013!… 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]
