    I didn't like the story and character motivations felt very unnatural. Nobody in their right mind would act as these characters did. None of it made sense and whole game felt pointless and meaningless waste of time.

    This Game doesn't work as a sequel.
    Characters are basically the opposite then what there were in the first game(for what ever reason)and the new characters are uninteresting

    The game is not for everyone and certainly not for those who did not play the first part. But if you liked the first TLOU, then this part will not leave you indifferent:)

Relationship that the directors of naughty dog ​​took to destroy by building a profile of Ellie not at all grateful for everything Joel did, even more so, without taking into account the tragic death in his arms of his daughter Susan to cite just one example. This game is the perfect manual on how to transform a successful product into a crap with excellent graphics.… Expand

    A spectacular sequel to a memorable game, technically it's the most absurd thing I've seen in a video game to date, some narrative decisions are very questionable, but nothing that takes away the shine, the ending is a real punch in the stomach.

    Seguito strepitoso: non innova particolarmente il gameplay, ma immerge il giocatore in un racconto semplice ma avvincente, superiore addirittura a quello del primo episodio, con personaggi fantastici e colpi di scena continui.
    Uno di quei giochi che rimane nel cuore di chi ci ha giocato.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minor spoilers.

    Graphics are good but I found this game to be a disappointment. I wish I never pre ordered and this is the last time I ever will pre order. The story is poorly paced and I found it difficult to find the characters likable in any way given what happens early in the plot with some main characters.

    Ultimately, I purchased the game because of the relationship between Ellie and Joel. The marketing intentionally misled us and made it appear that the game was going to be exactly that but it was the opposite.

    If you enjoyed the first game then liking the sequel will be a coin toss at best.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the WORSTEST game i ever played. The first game really seemed like a passion project from the devs, but they really threw that in the garbage in the second one. Not only does the plot suck doodoo ass, the graphics are terrible, none of the characters look the same as they do in the trailer. Naughty dog clearly lied to us. And on top of that they are clearly trying to force the LGBTQIA+/liberal agenda. The worst offense is that the main character is GAY. It makes no sense for the main character to be gay because I don't like it. All the work Joel did just for him to die and his daughter to turn gay and SMOKE WEED. Devils lettuce man. I will never let my kids near this game.… Expand

    The game story is very very poor, a huge amount of flashbacks that suck, and the characters choices don't make any sense.
    A very bad game.
    The only thing that is enjoyable in this game is the stealth and action scenes, rather that this absolute garbage.
    I created an account specifically to give that rating.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game isn't without its flaws but people are flaming it to hard. Its still a great game and if you enjoyed the 1st one (Which was no doubt better then the part 2) then you would still enjoy this one.
    The good parts of the game is that the combat has been improved and headshots are a 1 shot kill as they weren't before.
    Crafting is slightly better although for some reason Abby (Not Ellie) can't craft arrows. God forgive these devs for making such a dumb decision.
    The story is great and was a good continuation of the previous game. It of course had a high bar to live up to which being honest I don't think it quite made it but I it would have been near impossible to do so.
    The graphics are more than something to brag about. The attention to detail is gotta be the best I've seen in a game before. Even small things for example the shotgun ammo on the stock is what ammo you got left. If you have 2 regular and 2 incendiary on the stock it will have 2 yellow and 2 red. Small things like that really bring the game more to life.
    I loved how we got more groups in this one. The WLF's, the Scars, The Rattlers... They are all different and have different ambitions and survive in different ways. Not necessarily good ways thou. You would be lying if you thought the whistling of the scars wasn't cool asf.

    The downsides were that stealth still kind of sucked. I understood the 1st game slacking a bit because it was originally made on the Ps3. But a late entry to the Ps4 there is no excuse for it being how it was. It was like it hadn't been worked on at all from the previous game. In a game where you can barely carry any ammo and body shots take 5 to kill someone so your only option is stealth to pick a as many if not all your enemies off and it was that basic just disappoints me. I could have 10 dead bodies piled up in 1 place. The enemy would see it, look around for 30 seconds and forget all about it. They should be hunting you down like a pack of wolfs (Pun intended).
    Lack of zombie encounters. This series was made on zombies yet when you see them you kill a 3 or 4 and move on. At 1 point we kill some big ass multi mutation which was awesome but why do we only get that once? I wish we got to fight off huge hordes and stuff.. Why is it always, you go into a building and there is a couple infected to remind you that they exist, you gotta a kill them and after you move on. If there has been an outbreak then I'm shocked because if this is half of the worlds population then you live in some deadass place. The 1st game had loads of zombies and it was awesome. In this one its all about the WLFs and Scars with a hint of zombie. You have given us less of what we love.
    Abby should have been able to craft arrows. She has no way in crafting stealth material. I feel like you wanted to make her less stealthy and more guns blazing but if that was the case why can she carry a small amount of ammo? She should be able to carry 3 if not 4 clips not 1 and a half. (including the 1 in the gun).
    We played to much of abby. Don't get me wrong I loved seeing her side to things and thought it was awesome her she had her own attributed and guns but I feel like I played her more then Ellie if not near half and half. This game is a continuation of the 1st game and Ellie is on the cover so why did I spend near half of the game playing as someone else? Just my point of view others may be different.
    The characters didn't have as much emotion as the 1st one. I am not sure if that's the right way to put it but say for example in the 1st one where Joel starts off not liking Ellie cos of his Daughter and then he ends up liking her and looks at her as his own. Not replacing his daughter but putting the care he had for her into Ellie instead. In part 2 the character were more straight forward. I mite be overlooking something thou.

    I think it would have been cool if we got to know more of the characters better. We don't know a single thing about these people? Like who the hell were they before the infection? Or if they were born after then why don't they talk about various things they enjoy. The conversation is always present based. Just thought I would throw that in there cos I found it kind of strange.

    The summaries the game is still amazing. Not as good as the 1st but damn it would have been hard to live up to such a game. This is has improvements from the 1st but I think some areas weren't improved enough like the stealth mechanics. Which is a huge part of the game. Or why the hell can I find half a container? Surely all containers should come as 1 objects not 4. I hope we do get a part 3 although its hard to say with how this one ended. We could find out if Abby finds the fireflies or if Ellie ends up back at home or does she continue to fight off the infected and found another group to survive alongside? Does her life now consist of saving people from hunters/rattlers? I hope we get to find out!    … 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]
