    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metascorer 94 huh?! Well done in media advertising but as a player who experienced First TLOU, this is entirely a joke. The scriptwriters hated firat gen characters so much that most them died or badly injured. Tommy came out as the only guy survived throughout the whole game with a severely injured body. Those who gave high score definitely did not appreciate how interesting was the first game. The characters development was so good compared to the second part. Joel used to not trust anyone and now telling outsiders who he is? Heavily pregnant Mel running around like her belly made by metal? Same logic goes to Dinah. Ellie overcame so much just to forgive the one she hated the most even she vowed not to let her go throughout the story? Abby saved two children from opposition gang and protected them juz bcos they are young but did not hesitate to kill Joel who saved her as well! No mention of Jesse the father of Dinah's child after one year event at all but instead D+E? Messy timeline especially the ending part could have ended at the farm.… Expand

    Cormac Mccarthy-esque in execution. I don't think I've experienced a story as soul destroying and enthralling since Berserk or The Road. Revenge always ruins lives and costs more than one could imagine the could lose along the way. Brilliant acting and motion capture. Amazing graphics and combat/stealth mechanic s. HBO has their work cut out for them to adapt this.

    I think the gameplay of last of us part 2 is really good and fun and I think the story is well done. However, having completed the game I can see why people are angry I would say if you haven't played this and decided to, the story might not be your cup of tea however I liked and I thought it was a good sequel even if it is not as good as last of us 1.

    This is a fantastic game in both story, gameplay, and graphics. It's heartwrenching, but that's this series. Naughty Dog is at the top of their game and I cannot wait to see what they do next. Ignore the hate and try this for yourself.

    Yes, I really believe this game deserves a 0 and I'm going to explain why.

    The only positive qualities of this game are the graphics, level design, music and the game runs with very little performance issues. These positives would normally be enough to make a game at least above average in the 5 to 7 range but the endless negative qualities destroy all of this. I cannot recommend more that no one ever play this game because of the negative qualities.

    Gameplay is overrated and ends up being underwhelming. In seven years, the only newly added gameplay aspects on top of the first game is the ability to prone and squeeze through tight narrow passages. On face value these additions to gameplay seem slick and are incorporated well into the level design but they are not industry innovative and not nearly enough to make you forget that you need to mash a single button repeatedly during QT events. The melee combat is uninspiring while the gunplay is merely acceptable.

    Perhaps the real problem for Part 2 is that the first game exists allowing Part 2 to be viewed in comparison. The first game was a masterpiece because it built up the characters and their relationship so elegantly. The conclusion was reached in a such a meaningful way that its impact will be fondly remembered for the rest of my life. Nothing about Part 2 comes close except for a few flashbacks that ironically remind you what it might be like to play a good game.

    The creators of Part 2 eagerly abuse the players emotions by exploiting what was built in the first game just to manufacture a driven plot. This is the height of laziness that is only confirmed by the numerous plot holes and Dues Ex Machina. The creators of Part 2 fail under their own weight as even the conclusion in this nightmare is wholly unearned. The message of Part 2 is completely lost because of how incomprehensible and irredeemable the characters and plot are.

    Part 2 is so bad that if the first game never existed, The Last of Us Part 2 would aptly be described as torture porn. The creators of this game should feel ashamed to have created this dumpster fire called The Last of Us Part 2. If I worked on this game in any compacity, I would hide this fact from the world to save myself from endless embarrassment.

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Save yourself from this joke game which will forever live in infamy.    … Expand

    If you played the first game and you like the gameplay then you are gonna love part 2. It's much better in every way. It got alot of good game scenes and intense moments. I would give the gameplay a 9/10 The down side is the story that is really bad if you compare to the first game. But the thing is that it has alot of good moments too.

    TLOU2 is for video games what the "The Last Jedi" was for the Star Wars lore.

    This is supported by the fact that in key moments the player has no means of choice or reaction as they cannot follow another approach other than the pre-determined narrative = social agenda.

    Now, for those not interested in the story, yes the graphics in part 2 are amazing no doubt, the sound is awesome,UI works well and everything from a technical perspective is well polished, but it is the story that made the first part an epic example of solid storytelling in gaming history. Unfortunately TLOU2 is a letdown.    … Expand

    So with the Last of Us 2 I hoped Naughty Dog would further explore this wonderful relationship, which was left at its very early stages. So many possibilities and stories were ahead of them. Sadly Naughty dog instead chose to destroy these characters, to subvert expectations in the name of shock value. For me the first was endlessly playable thanks to its brilliant writing and thread of hope that kept the characters and the players hooked. None of that is here, no hope, no levity. Just a bleak and depressing plot. One which i do not wish to play again. At least I still have the first.    … Expand

    What the game lacks is strong character development, weak theme to the story, majority of the game is just cutscenes, gameplay is exactly the same of the previous instalment. Graphics is okay, but don't change the fact that the game is horrible. I know damn well that people who review this game a 94% were probably paid to do so. Besides true gamers will not defend this game.

    And the story, and what it did with me, is a pure masterpiece. The way I felt with characters, even some I didn't want to like in the beginning, was so intense, like the best movies not often manage to accomplish. I cried (some small :) tears of joy and tears of sorrow during this tour de force.

The gameplay is very good and refreshing to play after all the other games out there however the story lacks majorly as Joel the main character of the first game is killed within the first 2 hours in a stupid way and makes it seem like he never should’ve survived the first game and then while playing as Abby I feel like it wasn’t needed in the game and fighting the main character Ellie in theatre didn’t seem realistic as Ellie seemed to not have any tracking skills or fighting skills the main reason why the game was such a let down was because of the ending if Abby was killed by Ellie it would’ve been a good ending to the game but as that didn’t happen it feels like the whole story had no meaning and it could’ve ended in a much shorter time… 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.
