    I have to admit I didn’t enjoy the game quite as much as the first one, but not from any lack of quality gameplay or poor storytelling. The users giving this game a super low rating are just immature and frustrated that naughty dog didn’t do what Star Wars the force awakens did and play fan service, giving people what they thought they wanted- or they’re homophobic and can’t keep an openI have to admit I didn’t enjoy the game quite as much as the first one, but not from any lack of quality gameplay or poor storytelling. The users giving this game a super low rating are just immature and frustrated that naughty dog didn’t do what Star Wars the force awakens did and play fan service, giving people what they thought they wanted- or they’re homophobic and can’t keep an open mind about anything. The story here is unmatched by any other video game out there and probably 95% of movies out there, but it’s just so heartbreaking watching these events happen to characters that you have grown to love. But that’s life and sometimes stories are sad- that doesn’t make them bad stories- they make you feel things. Naughty dog was in a unique situation coming into this game where we care so much about them and that could be a gift or a curse. This game would not have worked if it wasn’t for the first game where they had a chance to build that backstory. I laughed and I cried. By the time it was done I just felt shaken, but I’m pretty sure that’s what they were going for. I was left wishing things ended differently but again not because it was a bad ending, but because I just wanted so much more for Joel and Ellie...however this was an amazing game with ALL the feels... … Expand

    This game is not bad actually part 2 is good. if you play until end you gonna like it. However story little problem for me on the other hand first and second chapter are boring but then going to good. Enemy.place,shooting are amazing. When you reach final you will see very epic scenes and that’s enogh for me. Good and diffrent you should play when you catch discount.

    First, TLOU2 probably has the best graphics on PS4 Pro and it's not even close. Unfortunately, that's about the only positive thing to say. By far the worst character development and story I've played. Didn't pay attention to the leaks but probably should have so i wouldn't have wasted my time or money on this trash. Last of Us was such an amazing game, can't believe they ruined this.

    Trama noiosa e insensata, già il fatto che joel all inizio muoia fidandosi di abby non ha senso stessa cosa il finale, c e ellie smette di uccidere abby perche pensa a joel?!? Tralaltro il finale lascia supporre l uscita di 3... dovrò aspettare altri 7 anni per un altra cagata del genere?

Excelente juego, es muy triste la muerte de Joel pero el juego sigue, y realmente es uno de los mejores juegos que e jugado, el final me dejo mas que sastifecho, con tantas experiencias que pase con Abby y verla al final en ese estado, logro que la perdonara y quede bien al ver que Ellie no mato a Abby.… Expand

    The game is great, has excellent game dynamics, best implementation of the touchpad on the controller so far, the scenarios are beautiful, story is also really good but its not the story you wanted for joel and ellie.

    One word "Masterpiece". Yes some story arcs were difficult to take in at first but as we progress further in the story it all make sense. TBH i never treated TLOU as a "game" but have always treated it as an experience & with sequel i was ready for another experience and it certainly lived up to my expectations.

    This game has many flaws in storytelling and execution.. Graphics and environment are great but that doesn't make up for the way ND chose to tell their story. You simply can't have me play 20 hours killing people and infected and watching Ellie suffer for revenge so that in the end she decides to forgive and move on.... and ffs we get it its 2020 gay people exist just don't force feed itThis game has many flaws in storytelling and execution..

The writing is off at some parts and they do things so out of character for the characters we love. Its such a disappointment your better off not playing it. I have no idea what on earth they were thinking but playing as joels characters is so stupid, boring and dragged on. No one wants that NOR cares about Abby. Such a **** up of a game… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is what happens when you put themes and hidden meanings above the plot; you get a bad story. This is a byproduct of a developer thinking of themselves as an “artist” and that everything they do is “art”. The story is terrible and it ruins the legacy of the first game, just because Druckmann had to stroke his giant ego because he thinks no one loves the characters as much as he does, which is arrogant and insulting to the fans. The execution of Joel’s death was the most pathetic, shock value writing I have ever witnessed even though I was expecting Joel to die. Every character is utterly bland and uninteresting. Naughty Dog sacrificed the character development of Ellie and Dina for Abby and her friends, who everyone hates. Playing as Abby feels like a forced attempt to make us like her, an irredeemable character. Everyone bought this game because they thought they would be playing as Ellie and it would be her story. If I had known half the game would be Abby’s, I would not have bought the game. I don’t know why a game company would sabotage their own game like this. I would rate it more than a 0 because of the graphics and sound quality, but in 2020, every game has great graphics and sound design. What made The Last of Us II the most anticipated game of the generation was the story, which it hopelessly failed to tell.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think Sony should at least check their game makers before releasing it. Because this the type of garbage usually comes out if you don't (Refer Death Stranding and its "hype").People may love it or not but choice should be ours about it storywise don't force us to watch the drama that is unfolding right in front of us. I still don't see why the reviews worship this game.

    They should at least give us a chance to make up our own minds about killing the person who kills Joel .This actually makes the whole time you spend this game playing useless.I mean if you gonna stop mid way might as well don't leave Jackson all together. Open up a farm or **** This game is the definition of Cock Block. And after that we are forced to play her. **** i don't wanna play her. I don't even care about her, i just wanted to play Joel and Ellie. But you gon and **** that up and you killed JOEL in the first few hours and telling me look she did it and this her reason now go and play with her and watch her drama a little bit.

    Don't force us to killl half of Seattle just to arrive the Killing is Bad and you should feel bad conclusion. Even porn movies have a better storytelling than this one.

    Can't believe i waited this long for this ****

    For all those thinking of buying i suggest use the money to buy yourselves a cold one and watch it on youtube. At least that way you are not gonna get buyer's remorse.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok if we talk about the graphics of this games, we need to agree on this, they are gorgeous, the gameplay was ok, it wasn't great but it had some upgrades and smoothness while in combat, but what hits down this game into a six, is the story, it has so many plot holes and some characteristics that characters own that have nothing to do with their characteristics in the first game. For example, Joel, Joel in the first game is an unconfident man he does not trust anyone in the first game, he literally runs over a guy because he did not trust that he was injured and he knows it was an ambush, so now tell me where are this characteristic, Joel has, he literally just trust a group of guys, tells them their real names, where they live, and for worst they tell this group of not known people if they wanted they could go get supplies in their town, that just not characteristics of Joel and Tommy they would not trust anyone. It's just stupid, and finally the ending, wow that ending could not be more trash, just very poor storytelling. What a mess.… Expand

    IA are really good surprisingly, **** intelligent, flanking you all over the place, once they see someone dead they just tell everybody around them and everybody starts searching everywhere even under cars for you.
    Semi open-world game, level design is amazing.
    Biggest disappointment isn't really the story nor the writing.

    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]
