    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At first I was really enjoying the game(even after Joel's death), but the fact that the game forced me to play the most hated character in the game for as long as I played Ellie pissed me of. And when I finally got to the end I was rewarded with the most lackluster ending leaving me sad and disappointed.. Gameplay is adequate and graphics are good. Story is disappointing.… Expand

Rip off of Walking Dead (especially the Negan sensless brutality angle) finally runs out of steam on the one-trick social justice pony it thought was a thoroughbred.

Worst story ever, no revenge and new characters that didn’t make it good they made it worse. Their were 1,000+ different ways this game could have gone and they chose the most garbage, scrambled up story they could think of and shoved it down our throats making it seem like Joel was still alive. People want to make this excuse that “Joel was selfish he stopped them from creating a vaccine” it’s 2020 and the corona virus is alive and well and we don’t even have a vaccine in real life with everyone working on it how in the world were they going to make a vaccine and give it to the whole world and make everyone immune. This is just a trash excuse to butcher the whole game into pieces and spit in the consumers face. Naughty dog should never hear the end of this all gamers and streamers should unite and give them bad reviews on this horrible sequel so they can lay in their own misery they created.… Expand

    Cons:
    1.Story does a massive disservice to the first game and the fan base. Characters from the first game do not feel consistent to their morals or personalities.
    2. Unlikeable new characters
    3. Seems to pander to specific groups, but not their core fan base
    4. (Not necessarily from the game) False advertising in ND’s part showing a beloved character being a big part of this game. Which they aren’t

    The gameplay and graphics update does not qualify a good game. Critics have either never played the first game, or are choosing to ignore the obvious faults in the story. This is a STORY DRIVEN game. If the story is not good, why would you play it let alone like the game? Save your money.    … Expand

    I believe they are art and the story can and should be a measure of their worth. The first Last of us was played because the story was about finding purpose after the end of the world, after you have lost everything to live for. To keep going and finding new purpose to live and survive, an old man losing his daughter to find another. About a girl with survivors guilt learning to live with it and find purpose in her life, a reason why she survived. It was a masterpiece that sadly will not be followed up, that story is over.

    What this game tries to do is say **** you, all that character building, means nothing, we got new **** Joel is now a moron that isn't cautious with new people at all, when that is the entire first game's premise, he doesn't trust anyone, but not now. Ellie is now a murder hobo, except at the last second she has mercy for the only purpose because Druckman wants to use Abby as the main character for the third installment of the series, which at this point I hope doesn't happen.

    Abby's character development completely revolves around being another murder hobo, she has no arch. She begins as a murder hobo, and ends as a murder hobo that magically got lucky that Ellie doesn't kill her. There will never be a connection to this character and if the third part is actually made, they will have to lie to the audience that it isn't about her in order to sell it.

    What will drive you more crazy is that they tease you the game you actually wanted to play with 30 min long flash backs a few times, but 90% of the game isn't what you wanted.    … Expand

    Incredible game, top notch gameplay, a few minor details but the twists and turns the story keeps on getting make the whole experience worth while. This game isn't free of its controversies and strong opinions, but it's something you must experience by yourself before making any judgement.

I loved every minute of looting and fighting my way through seattle and its aftermath. Naughty Dog never disappoints. The writing was excellent and i was so happy to continue the last of us story. I did not think that the original game needed a sequel per say but the feelings of emotion and confliction i had while playing this was amazing. I loved the new skill trees and weapon upgrade mechanics, the use of puzzles to unlock safes, the amazing visuals, the small details, and everything else this masterpiece had to offer. The devotion of the team making this game is very apparent and i am beyond satisfied with this addition. Thanks so much Neil and the Naughty Dog team!… Expand

    Dreadful, dreadful. The media should be ashamed of themselves for raving over this slow, boring, ordinary game that is no better than part 1.

    But worst of all is the agenda this game shoves down your throat whether you like it or not. Woke is strong with this one. Game is weak, bad and worth no more than bargain bin price.

    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]
