    First of all, I must say that it is the best game I've played in my life. Everything is perfect in terms of its graphics, gameplay, npc, space designs, in short, gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot of the story is silly, even if you had read the script I'm sure you would think it's fanfic. Basically Joel, a person who in the first part was a cautious, intelligent and cunning person decides to tell him his name and invites to his city a large number of strangers who surround them and who triple the number of people and weapons. Well, after Joel dies like a squashed and tortured cockroach, Ellie decides to do what everyone would do, seek revenge. After controlling Ellie and killing a couple dozen or even hundreds of people and some friends of Abby's, the game comes up with the wonderful idea of ​​forcing us to control for about 10 hours the most disgusting, psychopathic and moody character that can exist, that's Abby. The game in many parts is boring, you get tired of having to put up with such a hypocritical character as Abby and it is even lazy to continue the game, since in many parts it feels as if they are unnecessarily extended. The game tries to force "empathy" with Abby, but for someone who played the first the last of us and understood the character of Joel and the reason for his actions, it is impossible for you to like Abby, she is just a hypocritical character, that he did the same thing as Joel on various occasions in the game, abby's own father admits in flashbacks that he would do the same thing that Joel did. But hey, after 10 hours controlling the insufferable Abby, and many more hours controlling the bipolar Ellie, he decides not to avenge Joel at the end of the game because revenge is bad and he lives the power of friendship. Are you telling me that he murdered half the United States but just when he has the origin of all his misfortunes in his face, he does not decide to kill her? Ultimately, they wasted what could have been a good game in vain to deliver such a repetitive, ridiculous and unoriginal message as "revenge is not good." By the way, the foul play ND did of putting Joel in the game trailers and not saying or putting anything at all that we were going to control a character named Abby for almost half the game is pathetic and unfortunate.… Expand

As a huge fan of the first game (finished it 7-8x) it was tough to see the smart, ruthless and the most importantly EXPERIENCED survivor act so extremely dumb. I have nothing against dying protagonists but everything what happened before the death was stupid AF. But the technical part of the game is masterpiece.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First time writing a review. Will try to get to the points.

    1) Hats down to Sony and the studio for making the game so polished, was a breeze of fresh air for me as I played the game in 2021.

    2) Even though the combat wasn't completely different, there were new things and few innovations that felt good. But the combat was like 1% of the game time...

    3) After I switched to Abby and stopped enjoying the story, I've started to notice that I've was playing a scavenging simulator and that people apparently leave one or two bullets in the packaging. This was extremely repetitive and annoying. Also why do I break an axe after 3 - 5 hits? Or a sledgehammer?

    4) The world was ok, but I didn't notice it too much as I was looking for supplies. Also the constant rain was interesting...

    5) I replayed the first game many times, the story was wonderful. Here I will gracefully pass. Half of the game was completely useless, I knew what happened to those people and only thing what I got from those 12+ hours was scavenging supplies.

    I am not saying that the story doesn't have a message or a lesson, but in my opinion it shouldn't be told by a game.

    Neil Druckmann mentioned that the game will not be fun and he was right. It wasn't. I still paid the full price and I understand that the developers need to eat and are actually quite talented to be fair. Just that I don't see myself playing a game directed by Neil Druckmann anymore. Again, a talented guy, that deserves his salary 100%, but we disagree on what gaming should bring to people. Fun, enjoyment, fulfilment, stress release is much more preferred than hating myself for not stopping half way through...

    6) The enormous amount of close calls, scripted events, out of the world lucky situations for the main characters and those toy knives with 0 damage were also very annoying. The game was supposed to be played by adults, come on, do not insult our intelligence... If you want to lecture somebody, at least head out to donate blood and see what happens when you loose 450ml and act irresponsibly thereafter.

    7) I wasn't even able to max my stats or guns, also the time in combat where I could actually use them was extremely limited. I can try other guns or skills in a new game+ but I don't want to go through the story again, not to mention the constant scavenging.

    Based on the points above, I cannot rate the game high. A scavenging simulator with linear progress where I was punished for playing it. It felt more like an experiment.    … Expand

    I create a metacritic account just so I could show my disgust at this game. I have been a huge fan of the developers in the past.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and I found it amazing. Firstly, the graphic was amazing, many times had to stop to enjoy the landscapes. Gameplay sure was improved from the previous game and is very enjoyable. Monster designs and challenges were very good also amazing boss fights. Now the story is brilliant. I can see why for many people was controversial but in my point of view was a unique and brilliant way to tell a revenge story were neither side is good or bad, both take wrong decisions and pay for it. Yes, the story is very bitter and it may be not for everyone's taste but I see the course of actions very logical and I can't see other variants of the story reaching such a ingenuous storytelling. It was a very unique experience for me as it's the best revenge story I saw. I am indeed sorry many people are not able to see what a game has to offer from a different perspective.… Expand

Apparently, there's a lot of people who hate on this game because the main characters aren't straight, white and male. Well I hate to break it to them, but there's all types of people in this world and it was refreshing to not only play two female leads, but one who was homosexual and one who possessed an atypical body type. The story goes deep into the vicious cycle of revenge and shows that in a broken world, you're going to have broken people. In my opinion, 75%+ of video game stories are not captivating, but this one was. I wanted to keep playing because the gameplay was fun as well as to see what happens next.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is phenomenal, firstly the gameplay is a big step up from the original that builds on the systems in the first game and improves in them in every single way. The graphical fidelity is mind blowing, I genuinely can’t believe this is running on a PS4, it is very obvious that a lot of love and care has gone in to this game and it shows in the level of detail through the levels in the game. The amount minuscule details that have callbacks to events in the games universe or give further depth to a character is mind blowing. The level design also feels more natural and less linear than the first game, with many levels having a maze of buildings to get through to get to the other side.

    The storyline is brilliant in the way it gives even more meaning to elements of the first game whilst telling its own story. I’ve never experienced a game that challenges the main characters choices and morality so strongly and make you question their motives and then go on to make you play as a character that you currently hate and takes you on a journey to understand and empathise with them. I believe this was the intention of the game, if you get angry at certain moments and cry at others, the writers and actors have done their job and I sincerely believe this game is a masterpiece in story telling, acting, game design, art style and graphical fidelity.    … Expand

    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]
