    One of the best games I've ever played, loved it from start to finish. Perfect story, perfect character development and perfect combat. (Don't mind user score, it's just a bunch of trolls)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is such a dissapointment, its sickening. Coming from the first game which i think has some of the very best characters, story, atmosphere, moral dilemmas, storytelling, pacing, gameplay and many other pros and some cons, with the story and the way its told being the best part, THE LAST OF US PART II IS SO AWFULLY TELLING AN ALREADY MEDIOCRE AT BEST (but still **** compared to first one) STORY (best part about the story being the flashbacks those were actually really well executed) THAT MAKES ME SICK TO THE POINT I WANT TO THROW UP. I somehow played the ENTIRE game, even though i was HEAVILY bored throughout alot of it simply because the characters were so uninteresting - no character in this game had any development whatsoever. Whoever thought that the boring surface level chemistry lacking relationship between Dina and Ellie or Owen and Abby or her dad or whatever could ever replace the beauty of Joel and Ellies relationship, derseves nothing but to get fired and banned from ever touching anything good ever again. NOW lets talk about what i dont like about the game -
    So, the game has several messages throughout, some being about empowering women and some being about representing lgbt but i dont care much about those because i felt they were forced down my throat without being relevant for the story.    … Expand

    I really think this game is something like a 9.5, but since decimal aren't avaible and this game has received a ridiculous and unfair review bombing i'm gonna give a 10. This game is phenomenal, one of the best if not the best game of the generations, the visual is gorgeous, gameplay evolved in a very interesting way with new mechanics, the atmosphere and world design is astonishing, levelI really think this game is something like a 9.5, but since decimal aren't avaible and this game has received a ridiculous and unfair review bombing i'm gonna give a 10.

    The game manage to put the player in situations that are always different and interesting, continuously surprising, and considering this is like a 30 hours game it is really something incredible.

    Many have problems with the story, personally I was never so engaged in a video game story, and hearing the complaints, it seems to me those are pretty much whims.    … Expand

    This game is a disgrace to the first. Amazing graphics, good gameplay, absolutely terrible story. It is a genuine shame seeing what happened to this franchise.

    After passing the game to me and saying that the story is the worst I have ever played, Joel's death, the script holes, as they destroy the characters, are no longer the same as the first game, graphically it is much lower than expected and the game has become boring and very uphill.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just so disappointed :( The Last of us has, for years, been my favorite game of all time. I was so excited to continue the story. The visuals and score do a fantastic job however that’s kind of where the positives finished for me. The gameplay didn’t feel too different to the first however it did lose its charm for me much faster. I felt a lot of encounters to be repetitive. However my biggest issue has to be the direction of the story. I loved Joel, I get that he is a flawed character but literally everyone is in these worlds. But he was OUR character in the game. I I was not even mad about his death or even the manner of it. I knew that would be a powerful way to send Ellie on her revenge quest. But to force you to play as the antagonist and beat Ellie was a joke. 10 hour or so playing as the character her brutally murdered your character from the first game, playing through as the story rams down your throats “look these people are nice sand kind too in their version of events”. I understand what they were trying to do but I just couldn’t enjoy playing as Abby after what happened isn’t the opening chapter.… Expand

    I played the game to the very end. All of the criticism I have read about the game is accurate. TLOU was the greatest game ever made. I understand making a worthy sequel is difficult. Stunning visuals aren't enough to make a game a masterpiece. This game has absolutely zero replayability. I have never played a game with a perfect rating before that was painful to finish.

    I also waited this game as most of other fans, but cannot agree with all this hate. This game is not like a first part, it is different. Just accept this fact. It has great graphics and gameplay and story which make you feel something. It is not the best, but definitely not a trash. 8/10.

Graphics are gorgeous, the atmosphere and animations are on point, the gameplay is like the first one with some improvements here and there, the AI sometimes can be downright stupid, the accesibility options are a great addition, but the story...my god......so first of all joel's death, i have no problem with him dying, i have a problem with how he dies, like he just gives his name to a bunch of strangers and then they kill him, we're talking about a man that ran over a guy just because he didn't trust him...the death was idiotic, they are trying so hard to make previously estableshed characters, they try to make abby "likeble" via cheap manipulation tactics yet she shows no remorse for killing anyone unlike ellie, and the ending.......so you do all that **** kill so many people and dogs, for nothing?!?!?!?! it has some good moments like the flashbacks with joel and ellie, or ellie in the music store but the overall plot is just a bad fanfiction, and i saw better fanfictions for this game than what we got.
    i'll give it 4/10, if it will ever have a multiplayer then 6.    … Expand

    The game ended last night, so here's some pros/cons from me:

    Cons: * The end is not worth commenting on, I am simply disappointed with how the end was performed. As such, it is not terrible for me, but it is "poorly executed".

    Cons:
    * The end is not worth commenting on, I am simply disappointed with how the end was performed. As such, it is not terrible for me, but it is "poorly executed". Had they given us the right to choose it might have improved the impression;
    * Joel's death and treatment is simply disappointing to me, treated like some kind of NPC. When he already had to die, I expected it to be a dignified death, something in the style of Arthur Morgan;
    * the game is tiring at times, they should have shortened it by about 5-8 hours, and thus cut the price of the game itself;
    * too many unnecessary flashbacks;
    * versus the first sequel, the dialogues/stories in LoU2 seem empty, non-emotional to me and I just couldn't connect with the characters;
    * the story itself should have been arranged differently, maybe if we had just played with Abby first and then set out on a revenge campaign with Ellie, I guess that would have made some sense;

    Pros:
    * graphics that are really great for me and I'm thrilled with how they managed to push such graphics to the PS4;
    * the soundtrack/music in the game is phenomenal to me;
    * voice acting is great for me, especially when I hear Troy Baker;
    * gameplay may be out-dated to me, but I enjoyed it because I think there are more of these survival segments compared to its predecessors and I just enjoyed tacticing, sneaking around and thus removing enemies;
    * segments with Abby are even better for me in some parts than with Ellie, somehow I had a feeling that there was more to do/eliminate, also those segments were tenser, more challenging for me;

    Whether Abby is trans or not, I don’t know or care because I don’t think it’s that relevant in the whole story.
    Overall impression of me: 7/10.
    The weakest part of the game in my opinion is the story, which should have been better if they had been working on it for over 5 years and **** it, as they would say in sport “they dropped the ball”.
    I hope for the third part because I’m very interested in what would happen to the characters.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is absolutely amazing to me how many people see Joel as a hero and are just mad that he's killed off.

    Joel is a terribly selfish and violent human being. His decision at the end of the first game is understandable - but it doesn't make him a hero. At all.
    In many ways he did have it coming and it would've been pretty cliché and boring if he was just given a lame, bog-standard redemption arc (and, I mean, he kind of got one in this game... at least somewhat).

    While the pacing is off and certain parts of the story are messy, it is a very compelling and exciting experience. It's certainly one of the better "video game stories".    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The 2 is for the pretty awesome environment design. Other than that this game is terrible and here is why: It took me 21 hours to complete the game. It would have taken me longer if I had fully explored everything however, after awhile the gameplay became tedious and repetitive so I just ran through the story to get it over with. The gameplay itself hasn't changed much if at all compared to the first one but that isn't a major issue to me because I play for the story... And the story was terrible! No character development whatsoever, I felt nothing for most of the characters and the whole plot of 'revenge is bad but Abby can have revenge' is **** You telling me I can travel across the country killing stacks of people to find abby to decide at the end that revenge is bad? Honestly I wish I never played this game, it destroyed TLOU for me. There are many more things I despise about this game but honestly it hurts to talk about it. I waited 7 years for this? I wish I had seen the leaks so I didnt buy this crap.… Expand

The game was beautiful. It was not supposed to be taken as a canon. The Last of Us ended with the life in Jackson. The whole revenge plot was a shot a Naughty Dog missed but fair play to them. I want to but I can't hate this game because it is just so shocking and surprising.… Expand

    Mature stealth game settled in a post apocalyptic world with believable characters carrying a dark and twisted story. It is indeed the second part to it’s predecessor and the continuation of an arc that was on pause for so many years.

    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]
