    Terrible plot, Too many Flashbacks, Pointless Revenge lesson, Nothing new apart from graphic design perspective, Predictable cut scenes and Bad Execution. Its a perfect example that they tried to be too clever to blow people’s mind and i think they did accomplished it but in the wrong way!!

Give people the vote and we have trump and Boris in power. **** idiots the humans.

    Tlou was a great game, story,lore,graphics, judt amazing game. This game ruined everything they built, could have salvaged it with multiplayer since the only improvement is gameplay. Critics got this 1 wrong.

    It's a shame hackers leaked the story. I went in blind and completely loved it... one of the best games I've played this year and even better than the first.

    I really liked the characters both new and old and felt they expanded on the world in some very interesting ways.
    It felt like they mixed uncharted 4 with the last of us part 1. There are some great action setpieces which really helps break up the pace. There are parts where I felt like I was spending too much time stealthily taking down enemies and scavenging for supplies but before long I was outrunning clickers and or watching a cutscene.
    Loading times are quite short, there was hardly any pop in or framerate issues. The game ran really smoothly.
    The sound design in this game is from another world... it's unreal... sometimes I shot an enemy and they'd lie there screaming for help. Or I might cut someone's throat and then i'd hear them choking on their own blood... it was horrible but really helped create the sense that this world is brutal.

    Brutal is a word which defines this game. Some parts were hard to play through. I found myself shouting at my tv towards the end. Overall it's just an unforgettable experience and one which you shouldn't miss out on.

    also I hope metacritic goes through and trims out some of these troll reviews. Right now the user score is way too low. The game has been out for like four days and according to psn only 7.7% of players have finished it so many people here (many of them on the very day the game released) have given it a zero. I imagine a lot of this is down to bots as well. Just play the game yourself and you'll see it's something special :).    … Expand

    If you liked the first game AVOID this one, do NOT waste your money on it

    For the record I am not against the LGBT community but when you attach those subjects out of nowhere to a series that was not leaning in that direction in the first place it just seems very forced and inserting "anti white" propaganda out of nowhere too is just dumb (let me remind you that racism isn't one sided)    … Expand

    I was originally gonna say that this game was mediocre, which for me would be a 5, but that would be a dishonest reflection of my experience with this game. After 24 hours of all this game has to offer, I couldn't bring myself to play the 2 or so hours I needed to finish. Put simply, it was not an experience I enjoyed. There were pieces of a game I would've liked scattered within the messI was originally gonna say that this game was mediocre, which for me would be a 5, but that would be a dishonest reflection of my experience with this game. After 24 hours of all this game has to offer, I couldn't bring myself to play the 2 or so hours I needed to finish. Put simply, it was not an experience I enjoyed. There were pieces of a game I would've liked scattered within the mess of the painstakingly rendered brutality, but those scenes accounted for 2 hours out of the 24 at the absolute most.

    The game's problem isn't "SJW propaganda" or anything like that. It has progressive themes, but it's not as in your face about it as many would have you believe. Do I care about the game's progressive choices when I don't enjoy it? No.

    The game is the most realistically rendered on the PS4. The amount of detail put into making the environment and characters as visually realized as they are should be commended. Does this save me from how depressing the game is to play? No, but it's a major reason why I could put up with it for so long. Unfortunately, the level of detail was also part of what made it so depressing. Any non-zombie deaths in this game are hard to take part of without completely shutting off your empathy.

    There's a similar argument to be made for the sound. It's wonderful in terms of the score and the sounds of all the weapons, but if a non-zombie dies, the game's audio is a huge part of what makes murder so brutal.

    The gameplay is similar mechanically to the first game, but the levels are more expansive and the AI are somewhat coordinated. Usually the agency in how you tackle a level would be great, but I could never skip the fights thanks to the confusing, labyrinthian layout of each one.

    The story is downright weird. There are times where it's great, but there are more times where the story is predicated on hard-to-believe coincidence or barely existant to begin with. Given how airtight the first game was, I have no clue how this happened.

    If Neil Druckmann doesn't want to use the word "fun", fine. But there were too few points where I felt immersed enough to appreciate it, much less have fun. I could play the final parts of the first Last of Us because I was invested in the story. I could understand the character even when I didn't agree with them AND THANKS TO how invested I was, I could see it through. That second part is obviously important somehow, because I could play through what was a way more catastrophic choice in the first game, while in this game the stakes are drastically lower and I've had to put it down for good. The accessibility options are great, though. That's something that's great, and I hope more games do that.

    I wish I liked this game. If you think you will, don't let me stop you. But whatever your stance, take your time to consider those with the opposing views. No one's an enemy of anyone here. We just wanna play games, and I think we all forget that sometimes.    … Expand

    What game were they playing? This is nothing short of a masterpiece. If you played the first game and fell in love with the characters then you will find no shortage of tear jerker moments. The action is great, the characters as strong as ever and the story is engaging as hell. Screw your 4 star ratings. Actually play the damn thing and stop being biased.

    PS the overwhelming amount of 0s and 1s were from people in the 1st 24 hours after release, on a 30 hr game. In other words most didn't actually play the game or all of it. Review bombed. People are triggered easily.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another amazing product from Naughty Dog and from the extremely talented director Neil Druckmann.

    The plot of Tlou 2 is very mature which requires a lot of patience and understanding and I think that is why the rating is like that.

    I think that I've never experienced emotions as I experienced with this game, this game made me express every kind of emotion there is but Anger and sadness was the main emotions for me

    The mechanics were amazing, the sneaking and the mele combat absolutely crazy.

    There is no need to talk about the visuals who was outstanding.

    As a con, I would say that the game was a little bit to long and quite frustrating during the end, could end 2-3 hours before the actual ending.

    But with that said it is still a masterpiece, and I'm very glad I had the chance to play it, great job Naughty Dog for this Piece of art , can't wait to play your next game.    … 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.
