    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is not coherent with the first part. Because Joel doesn't trust in anyone. Then his death is very stupid. And Ellie, she loves him... in the first part she can murder anyone to protect Joel. For me, this story is not coherent.

    Also, in the trailers viewed for this game... Joel hads more participation than the real version. That's misleading adverstising.    … Expand

    The single most terrible game to ever exist in modern history. From the buildup of arguably the best first of a series game, to an absolutely devastating crash in the next, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

    I don’t really want to say this. But the story is a real **** Don’t say something like I am not professional or I am not a good reviewer. But I paid for this game! Did the editors paid for that?

    While the game is aesthetically and technically pleasing, the mechanics are uninspired and the narrative as a whole falls flat, trying to end on a high moral footnote but instead just revisits old tropes and clichés which could have been better implenented.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some complain about LGBTQ+ representation, some complain about having to play as a muscular woman. Those people are obviously ridiculous.

    But then there are those who say that the message of the game is that "revenge is bad." It's, uh, way more complex than that. You don't just play as Abby to show that everyone is the hero of their own story, and that Ellie or Joel could be seen as the villain in someone else's story. You also play as Abby to see what it looks like when someone believes their violence is more justified than someone else's. Abby tells her dad that if she were the immune one, she'd want her dad to perform the operation anyway. That's noble of her, but it's not noble to kill someone in their sleep without their knowledge. She and her dad thought that act of violence was justified (it wasn't).

    And so Joel thinks that killing the Fireflies and the doctor was justified (it wasn't). Abby thinks that killing Joel is justified (it wasn't). Ellie thinks that killing Abby is justified (it isn't). Abby thinks that killing Dina would be justified, because Ellie killed Mel (it isn't).

    Elsewhere, Lev thinks that shaving his head is justified (it is). The Scars think that killing Lev is justified (it isn't). And so Lev stops Abby from killing Ellie. And Ellie stops herself from killing Abby. The cycle only stops when someone decides to stop.

    If it didn't occur to you during the 1st game, while carrying out Joel's act of killing dozens of people, including doctors, to save one person - even if it means that you're damning everyone in the world to continue living in a zombie apocalypse, and lying to and gaslighting the person you claim to love - that this might be morally questionable, something's wrong with you.

    The game never wants you to shift your loyalty to Abby and suddenly hate Ellie. The game wants to expand on the idea it left you with when Joel killed all those people - that you should question your own morality. The game makes you play as Abby while she hunts for Joel and while she attacks Ellie so that it feels BAD when you're attacking a half-dead Abby that's been roasting on a stick in the sun for a few days. Because that should feel bad! It may just be a video game, but you can still feel empathy for characters who have made mistakes. You don't have to like Abby, but you don't need to kill her.    … Expand

    This game has been vilified for not delivering exactly what the neckbeards desired as far as story. Gameplay is excellent and the story is compelling. Only reason it doesn't get a 10 from me is the lack of weapon variation.

    Most of the problem about story actually can easily be fixed by providing choices on certain events that leads to muti-ending Or just by separating Abby and Ellie’s story. They have 7 years and they mess it up like this is unforgivable

    I am completely baffled by these bad reviews... If this game is a 4.7 then what constitutes a good game????

    In my experience this was one of the best games ever made. If we talk about simply graphics, this game is absolutely gorgeous. The environment, the people, everything about this game is just beautiful. There is also an INCREDIBLE amount of detail in everything.

If we talk about the game play, it is basically the same as the first one, but with more. More ways to upgrade your character, more ways to play and tackle each fight. Then the story. This game does what very few other game have done, it makes you care about the antagonist. By the end of this game I had no idea who I was rooting for. I loved and felt a very deep connection with ever character. I was concerned about their well-being throughout the entirety of the story. This game was an absolute roller coaster of emotion and it is a true masterpiece. You would be seriously missing out if you skipped this one. Ignore all the hate and negative review bombing, as it is truly misplaced on this title.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To everyone who does not like the story fine than give arguments on why and what should they do better. I hate those people who didn't even played a single minute and are just giving this game a bad score because some streamer or youtuber said the game is bs. There is no World were u could give that game a rating under 5. A game has more than just a story iam fine with that if u have ur problems with the story but this game still has amazing graphics on a ps4, the soundtrack is amazing and game play and story. The cutscenes are movie like and the amount of detail in this incredible world is just stunning.So if u are being objective the game on itself cant have a rating under 5.

    If u give the story a bad rating thats fine but u should not forget that a game consist of more than just a story. Now to my opinion i think the story is a masterpiece because it shows how revenge can lead to a lot more suffering and it creates a infinite loop of violence, madness and the spill of innocent blood.

    In this World the player has no idea what right or wrong is. Everyone has his own reasons to behave like this. By gicing the player the opportunity to play the other site he or she can totally understand why they want revenge and now the player is torn apart because the Reality is much darker and deeper than u might think.    … Expand

    this is a great game. the story is top notch, graphic + animation + voice actings are all great.
    the 'leaked' are not all accurate and many wrong assumption based on word of mouth.
    if u still on the fence about this game, do watch people play them on youtube and twitch, then u can made up your mind about this.

    Its nothing special, lacks game play innovation and the story is forgettable, and it is not fun, its just draining. There is nothing classic or timeless about this game, and five years from now no one will be talking about it.

    1: They destroyed every main character in the first game. Both Ellie and Joel was dumbed down for this game. Joel was very cautious about strangers. He knew he has many enemies. Yet he went with some armed unknown group of people like an idiot and said his real name out loud. Ellie was very smart in the first game. But in this, she made many dumb choices.

    2: They made Ellie look like a villain who is worse than Abby. Abby who killed Joel (who saved Abby's life) spared Ellie many times like a 'jesus' (for no reason) and Ellie just came for Abby again and again like a villain.

    3: Many decisions don't even make any sense. For example, When Abby learns that Ellie killed everyone else she loves, she again came for Ellie and killed Jesse and shoots Tommy. Then she spares Ellie again for no reason.

    4: Ellie then again come to kill Abby after Abby spares Ellie 2 times. And in order to do so, Ellie already killed hundreds of people and again killed many people that she even didn't know. And after she met with Abby, (and lost her fingers), she realises that "ReVeNgE BaD" and spares her. WTF? Some are saying it's because the revenge cycle ended there or Lev might come for Ellie. That's just **** Because this was started because Joel killed a guy at the hospital. And Abby wanted revenge. All the people Ellie killed for this also might have close relatives who want revenge. We feel for Abby only because we know her back story. The people Ellie killed for this might have a worse backstory.

    A game like this (which many people say "walking simulator"), the story is the most important part and they destroyed the story.    … 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]
