    It's a good game. Not excellent. To many bugs and the story is quite a cliche.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not entirely sure why this game is getting so much hate by the fan base to the point of "review bombing". It's extreme, to say the least. Disclaimer - I haven't finished the game yet so maybe the ending is what possibly set all this drama off. But I do know that even if the ending is terrible, I'm still having fun playing this game so far and I intend to finish it. It is definitely not worth the lowest rating possible on every reviewing platform; although it is everyone's right to give whatever score they choose even if it is the lowest. I just hope that they are considering every aspect of the game and giving a fair, unbiased (to others review bombing) score.

    The original game is currently one of my favorite games of all time. The story focused on two characters who weren't too sure of each other at first, but alongside the player, started "warming up" to each other and developing an unbreakable bond. Thus, the player developing an extreme emotional connection (or at least I did) to the characters that was (SPOILER) later suddenly shattered in the sequel (SPOILER OVER). Then we have the core of the story; a "zombie" apocalypse that is a bit of a twist. Instead of the typical virus outbreak and hordes of relatively normal looking walking dead, the core story revolves around a fungus outbreak that acts extraordinarily different than the former. They aren't the typical walking dead, they're over-grown fungal covered and parasitically controlled monsters. Lastly, we have the gameplay. It's very similar to the Resident Evil series. Except less puzzlely, much more action and sudden events intensive, and more cut scenes between areas due to the heavily story-driven nature of the game. All of which I love and make me prefer the game over the Resident Evil series.

    The sequel, as you would expect, overall improves on the basis of the previous game. I've played past the part where (SPOILER) Joel dies (SPOILER OVER) so I know that the original emotional connection with the previous main characters is semi faded away but I still find the story engaging enough. Would I say it's better than the first game? No, obviously not. But it is generally difficult for any game to outshine the original. The first time you play something, you develop a first time experience that acts also as a bias, tilting the scales in its favor compared to the sequel(s). All I'm saying is that the first game's story was amazing and the second game's might not as amazing, but it is still decent at the very least.

    The gameplay is more fun than the first game's. The new attack dodging ability is really cool, I just think that it is a little too easy to dodge most enemies attacks. I am playing the game on "SURVIVOR" mode which is the hardest difficulty that can be picked, unless there are harder ones unlocked after beating the game for the first time. Given I was playing on the hardest difficulty, I found that enemy attacks were way too slow to hit me so it became apparent that I could just punch/slash the absolute !%$# out of everything instead of using ammo or stealth. That's a bit of an over exaggeration, there were points were I ran out of ammo and had to resort to stealth, but it made me feel like a badass fighter. I also found that you can take an unhuman amount of bullets before dying. I was being shot like 4 - 5 times before running out of health which became felt way too easy on the hardest difficulty. In real life, you'd be lucky to survive one shot depending on the impact location. I think they should make it 1 shot then 2 shots with health upgrades on the hardest mode. They definitely should do some difficulty retweaking in terms of player damage. Lastly, the stealth is a little too easy. They added a full prone feature so you can lie on your stomach and crawl. It's slow but it basically makes you invisible to enemies even if they are like 5 feet away. Combine that with the craftable silences, which by the way I always had one crafted, and you're easily a "skilled" assassin with next to no effort compared to typical stealth action.

    Some say the story is lacking; I agree that the story is definitely not as good compared to the original game's, but overall the game is good. Needs a bit of tweaking in difficulty/balance but it is just about as fun as the first game. I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate for this review for holding an unpopular opinion; so be it. The game is fun for me and no one or group is going to deny that fact. If this game was zero fun, then I'd score it a 0 but that's not what I think and I'm standing by it.    … Expand

    The troll reviews are out in force - *no way* this deserves a score of anywhere near zero. It's a really good game and has a very long runtime which is awesome.
    I agree the way a certain incident was handled was not great, and it happened at the wrong time in the story, and then playing as the other character for half the game felt wrong after that.

    The flashbacks and parts with Joel and Ellie were *amazing* and should have been used in a different order so the impact was higher.
    If your major take from this game is that there are lesbians in it, you've missed the actual story, and are just homophobic. I don't care if the other character was a muscular woman either - who cares - how she was used is the issue.
    Graphics are freaking amazing!
    Action and gameplay is like a refinement of the first game mixed with Uncharted and it works well.
    Hard to know what's next in the game universe, or if they will end it here. Hope there is more - there is a feeling of emptiness after completing it and I want this universe's story to end on a high overall.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've just finished the game. It is an excellent game and it plays really fluently, in terms of game play mechanics. I really liked the refine combat system, especially the dodging and directional dodging. A long, and I bet, awaited feature since the prelude. And the music monumentally outclasses everything below it. It done a great deal with reflecting the right emotion with whatever moment was present in the game. The visuals for a 2013 hardware is incomparable from what I have seen, you can't deny that. I have recently completed the original TLOU game.

    Towards the end of TLOU II and throughout parts of the game, I was simply put, left confused.

    I am not a person to bash on a game heavily. But from what I have played from my experience, to focus on the core characters, and then to veer off to a different set of characters with different lives and intentions doesn't seem to play well with the masses. Very risky move

    When playing as Abby, we are fed the narrative that her life has meaning, is innocent and sweet. And then we are made question Ellie's mission and objective. We can't let part II take away the core characters from the prelude and neglect them, is what I felt was the intention here. I feel that they are neglected in favor for getting a viewpoint from Abby's life. There is no significant breakthrough backstory for Abby. Which I thought was disappointing. She was mundane to play overall. But in the end, were made feel as if all that Ellie has done, is made out to do bad on her journey, fueled by revenge. The compensation for playing as Abby is the empathy you endure as her, but for Ellie it is made out to be a huge task and strenuous. It was evidently confusing to me at first. But these are stark missions both these troubling characters endured on. And for the majority, i'd imagine so too. What I have said so far is a heavily personal on my behalf.

    You always should look on the flip side too, after playing through all of Abby's perspective, maybe Ellie was pushing her luck a bit too much all along, maybe it was meant to be. Who knows. Ellie was always troublesome with the truth. Both were on the same mission and motivation of getting revenge. The longer I go, the more it lingers to me that these new characters introduced in part II, were in a time where Joel and Ellie also happened to exist. You can't really feel for one over the other, when you have new character developments.

    I don't want to get into any stereotypical, racial biases in this game that people discuss. We just got to learn to accept that these are people with their own different beliefs in this game. I have nothing wrong with that. But personally, I truly believe in the ying/yang dynamic, especially with the gender types.

    The developers were very brave to pull such a feat, 7 years of development for this plot. Bold moves set by Naughty Dog. I was just left in a state of confusion. I have nothing inherently bad to say about the story line at all. It's imperative to keep who the core characters are. I might need to replay this game to fully understand the complexities that Part II brings. I want to accept things for what they are. For this game as it stands at the moment, It's going to take a long time...    … Expand

However the truly worst part of the experience is the plot, that is fundamental for a very linear and story driven game like this one: through a literal destruction of all the beloved character of the first game, the game substantially wants to teach you one of the most generic lessons ever, the one of revenge being a bad thing. In order to achieve this mediocre goal the story relies still on crucial events happening purely by chance, action completely out of the personality of characters and several minor plot holes. If we consider also the abuse of dmca takedowns on YouTube from Sony and the misleading advertising for the game(if you play it you’ll know what I’m referring to), I do not recommend this game thinking about the milestone part 1 have been for gaming, and I suggest saving 60$ and watching the play through on YouTube/twitch if you’re curious on how a story so anticipated can be so poorly written… Expand

Right off the bat the gameplay is great, feels nice and brutal. Now the story on the other hand is hard to say. The main issue with the story is Abby. Very cut and dry. They should have put the flashback scenes at the very beginning of the game so the player can feel and understand her. The way they handled Abby was very poor and I never felt like I actually cared about her or her friends, I just wanted them dead for what they did. I can 100% understand why some people will absolutely hate this game. The game could have been a absolute masterpiece if they had the scenes in chronological order to build up emotions for the characters but they don't which is the worst thing. The game isn't bad it just makes a huge mistake with the story. I loved and cared for Dina and Jesse but everyone on Abby's side I didn't give a **** about them. It just makes me sad because The first game is a absolute masterpiece to play it just hurts knowing the mistakes this game makes. They should have put **** in order. Thanks for reading.… Expand

    After playing it completely through, I get why people are mad. But even then, this is an interesting case for story's that try something different.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A fully substantiated and considered assessment of the game in my opinion is 8/
    10. Let's start with the good. Of course, decent graphics and gameplay leave a good impression. The emotions of the heroes, fear, anger, love and despair are perfectly conveyed. The plot construction is excellent: first you play as Ally and see everything from her side. But later, playing as Abby, you rethink every event, think of every person that killed and feel the story from a different angle. In general, the plot can not be called bad, but from my point of view this is the biggest disappointment. First of all, this is disappointment in Ally, from which the developers made a dumb machine for revenge, which does not see life. Of course, the murder of Joyle was a terrible blow and trauma for her life, but even after revenge, the murder of all friends and relatives of Abby and after Abby saved her life twice - Ellie wants to find her in order to save and then kill. . (???). At the same time, in contrast, it is clear that Abby, despite everything, retains humanity in herself, despite the fact that she also has a childhood trauma from killing her father. Sparing the enemy’s life and forgiving twice is noble. Ally, on the contrary, is curbed by such cruelty that she is ready to kill innocent people and leave everything for revenge. In the end, you understand very well that Ally has everything - her beloved nearby, a child, a house, and it would seem that what else is needed? But she refuses all this for revenge to a man who has so lost everything. Abby lost all the drears, she had no one left, but she forgave Ellie and only this can bring peace. Forgiveness, not revenge. Ally, thanks to her stupidity, loses everything - but for what? Instead of forgetting, no matter how painful, Ellie loses both his family and love, and even the last thing left of Joyle - playing the guitar. And now, at the end of the journey, she was left with nothing because of a thirst for revenge. The plot is good, but it's a shame that the girl from the first part made a brainless obsessed woman. We all loved this hero so much, but it turned out that Ellie really did not become anything useful in this life. And after the ending you think: “And really, it would be better if it was used for a vaccine and it could be useful, because throughout her life she only did that she killed so many people, brought so much pain and remained useless and with nothing.".    … Expand

But the story of this game has broken my heart. I really like the story of this game , the connection between the characters . I understand why there is a lot of hate to this game , but if we close eyes on it , I wouldnt say that the game will be much more better . I understand the main message from Neil Druckmann ,about all this moral stuff and how your desire to revenge can be fatal for you. But we were waiting for this game for 7 years ,we wanted to see another story ,this main characters are alive , both of them. I cant understand Abby's actions. You start the game with killing of the main character. You are starting to hate Abby and you dont want to know her story and why she decided to do it.

    We all see the LGBT advocacy , this is why this game loses a few points instantly. I dont care about this stuff ,but in the game where we see an inflated woman , its **** my friends . In this game women better than men everywhere . I think if this game hadnt got a LGBT advocacy it would be much more better , the characters of this game wouldnt be looking like this one. Abby would looking pretty much better and more beautiful.

    I understand players reaction on this game. I wanted to see another story , this game is too violent.

The Last of Us part 2 is not a 10/10 experience in my books. However, let's start with the positives first. The game is a technical marvel and shines in every aspect in the visual department, framerate is solid and the visuals are varied, vibrant and simply bursting with detail. Gameplay is tense with every enemy feeling like a genuine threat and combat and customisation is deep and engaging. Exploration is deeply encouraged and rewarded in spades making combing every nook and cranny of each new area feel like an effort worth the time to dedicate to it. The voice acting as well, as you would expect, is top notch with the cast bringing their alls to the roles and it truly shows.

    Where the game suffers tremendously, is with the story, writing and pacing. The Last of Us 2 is bogged down by it's cliché and poorly written revenge plot with baffling decisions littered all over the 25 hour campaign, some dreadful dialogue and terrible story structure. The story feels awfully rushed and carries almost no weight in comparison to it's predecessor. The cast of characters this time around are incredibly bland, generic and forgotten the moment they exit the screen or are killed off and all of the emotional tension from the first game we have come to love, is disregarded in favour of this bland storyline about the cycle of revenge and the need to remind you every step of the way that violence is not the solution. It truly feels like a child's interpretation of what violence looks like. Furthermore the depth and charm has been all but stripped away from Ellie and the game as whole, and we're left with an unpleasant, miserable husk that made me half wonder if this was the same lass we travelled across the country with in the first game. The writing does improve noticeable in specific sections of the game, and they are noticeable, but that's spoiler territory I'm not going to dive into.

    Overall, despite enjoying my time with the game and seeing that it excels in the gameplay, visuals and technical departments, it's bland and forgettable cast coupled with a horribly written, poorly structured plot make the Last of Us Part 2 one of the most conflicting titles I have played in a very long time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of us part II is very controversial game. On the one hand, great graphics, the best character animations I've seen and quite good (Yes, even with Joel's death) first part of the game. On the other hand, everything that happens in the second part of the game is a failure. No matter how scriptwriters try to justify Abby's actions (especially compared to Ellie's), they failed. The story of the Lev/Lily and Yara is just a sjw joke. But still, I liked the ending that everyone hates so much. Of course, scriptwriters could have been more talented in explaining that violence only leads to violence. But we have what we have.I am disappointed, the ending of first part left me with bitter-sweet feelings, second one left me with nothing, but sadness. Even with all its problems, this game doesn't deserve a score below 7.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was, pretty good but somehow it left me feeling empty, while part 1 left me anxious for more. I can't understand the Abby part, I just can't seem to understand her motivation. I really wanted to like it after all most of us been waiting seven years for this and honestly it doesn't feel worth it for that amount of time neither carrying the last of us title.… 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]
