    Its a pretty mixed game. The most polarizing game of the decade imo, The Graphics and Soundtrack are next level but the narrative and storytelling is very critical.

    Gameplay and art is great, story was stupid. Structurally bad and just uninteresting. Had super high hopes and kept an open mind while playing the whole game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like most people Joel's death was shattering. After the first game and playing as Joel through all the struggles and waiting 7 years to do it again, to not get the chance to again was a disappointment but to have his death within the first hour was even worse. Feeling emotionally flat while playing the game afterwards. Setting out as Ellie for revenge, this is a big difference to the Ellie from the first game the spark and joy is gone from her outlook on life, Rage and brutality replace them. Going through the story I enjoyed a lot of the new features, nothing better than a silencer headshot. Stalkers are a much better enemies and always felt anxious when encountering them. Exploring is great and finding all the collectibles of how people are living through the outbreak are intriguing and I do like the Dina and Ellie interactions within the open world, which when your playing day 1 in Seattle are amazing. Flashbacks with Ellie and Joel hit home just how much you miss playing as them and bring the first game vibes back. Seeing the heartbreak when Joel finally confesses what he did in the previous game and Ellie reaction and her leaving Joel. On the flip side when you flip to playing as Abby - Joel’s killer, the flashback seem to drag and this is where the game pacing lags abit. I get what naughty dog was trying to do with Abby, anyone who has had their dad killed would of course want revenge on the person. But we had already played through a 20+ hour game as Joel connected to the character waited 7 years to play as him again and to have him killed and then to play as his killer, personally not a fan and I couldn’t connect to her as a character and all of her friends are throw away characters and forgettable and I had no attachment to them at all. Maybe if this game was all around Abby and then maybe Part 3 was the Ellie/Abby face off there could’ve been abit more investment with Abby side of things. But personally I never was fully invested and was just trying to get through to where we had left Ellie. What I will say about Abby part of the game is it definitely has the bigger standout moments. The ratking boss fight in the hospital a favourite, The climb up the building and crane, dodging tommy sniper rounds, fleeing through the forest with only your melee attacks against stalkers and the fight and flee of the Scars island while burning are all standout exciting moments. Ellie has some great campaign moments too (the first encounter with the scars a personally favourite, hearing those whistles for the first time) Abby moments standout more and are more memorable which the developers maybe have Abby these better moments so people could enjoy playing as the character more. Lev I felt was thrown in to show a compassion side to Abby but this connection felt forced and didn’t really have enough time to develop a connection with them the same way Joel and Ellie in the first game. Then we play as Abby fighting Ellie, and in this part I hated it I just wanted to get through it as quickly as I could didn’t enjoy it one bit. Then we get to the cutscene and when Abby holds a knife to pregnant Dina and Ellie says she’s pregnant and Abby response is “Good” and is about to slit her throat before Lev stops her. This shows that Abby is still a monster and hasn’t change, I get she wants revenge for her friends and Owen and Ellie had killed Mel who was pregnant as well. But at least Ellie felt physical sick from her actions and was shaking, Abby was going to enjoy killing Dina, both Abby and Ellie could both be consider monsters with their brutality but at least Ellie was likeable. Then Ellie goes for revenge one last time leaving her life behind and goes through the rattlers picking up a great silenced machine gun, finds Abby tortured and has one final brutally battle against her, I personally didn’t care if Abby lived or die, I was over it the story had drained me and I was done. The first game I could pick up and replay again and again. This game I’m not sure if I could commit to playing again no matter how go the gameplay is, when the story is as depressing and unenjoyable id rather play something else for minding numbing gameplay goodness. This game is one you have to play to make up your own mind I can see why people will love it, but I’d highly recommend waiting until the price drops before committing to it, in case you end up hating it. All I can say is The last of us part 3 will be interesting if they ever make one.… Expand

    The Last of us Part II feels like the work of an incredibly talented crew working with a very, very average captain at the helm who doesn’t like to listen to anyone and steers the ship all over the place thinking he has discovered his own personal treasure.

    Does the world need another TLOU2 review? Probably not, but did the world need a sequel to what is still one of the best games of all time? It would appear that it did not either.
    To give the game a zero, as so many have, is really not giving credit where credit is due. There are things to like about it; the gameplay to cutscenes are very smooth, the dodge button is a good addition, the graphics and motion capture are spectacular, and the voice acting is fantastic.
    Even the worst characters are very well voice acted.
    The lighting is cold and somewhat menacing, the stealth mechanics are all there from the first one and the infected are even more terrifying than before.
    So with all of this good, what makes this a game many people (including this reviewer) deeply regret spending their money on?
    The game takes about 20-25 hours to play through. Around a vast majority of those are unbearable. Some games require grinding or tedious activities for a reward at the end. This was just a disappointment from start to finish. The wasted potential of the team who made this game is just heart breaking.
    It seemed someone forgot that games are supposed to be fun, not some kind of hate simulator, where the player and the characters involved are the target.
    The story was absolutely hackneyed, even to the point where the most “shocking” scene was basically ripped right off a well-known zombie tv series / comic book. You could almost feel the conceit of the writers coming out of the screen, which if frankly something that I have personally never felt from a game before.
    I did not enjoy this game, it was ugly, hateful and violent, and no where near as clever as it thought it was. This really felt like it was written by an angry teenager who despised the first game so passionately, that he wanted to tear it down and spit on its remains. The first game was about something beautiful in a cruel and bleak world. A story like that is difficult to get right but TLOU part One achieved it with flying colours. The sequel seems to have all of the artistic value of a 90s slasher or exploitation film but some kind of disaster-artist-like smugness.
    Without giving anything away, someone kills someone who kills someone and then someone else goes after them. In the end there was apparently a message about breaking the cycle. The families of the five hundred anonymous henchmen who were murdered for the sake of this realisation may disagree. And that’s it, it sounds simple because it was. I understood Mulholland drive the first time I watched it, so I doubt I missed anything that was too nuanced.
    So, can I respect the effort and skill that went into making this game? Absolutely.
    Would I recommend it, or play it again? No, I truly would not. As with all things, games are subjective. Maybe buy it on sale if you fancy yourself a nihilist or want to wear a beret and tell people they didn’t get it because it was too profound, otherwise your time could be better spent.    … Expand

This game is both absolutely amazing, and absolute trash depending on how you look at it. If you care about. From one point of view, the game play is fun, the quality of the acting, and graphics are absolutely top notch, and the story is mildly interesting. It has a diverse cast of characters, and looks from multiple points of view. If I were to rate this game in a vacuum, I would give it as high as a 9/10. However, rating this game in a vacuum would do every other game in the world a disservice, because in no world do we ever rate games in a complete vacuum.

    While this game has amazing game play, it's just a slightly polished version of the first game. If you loved the first games game play, then you would love this game play. If you hated the first games game play, you would hate this, as this does virtually nothing to the game play from the first one. So while the game play is truly nice (in my opinion), it's not at all a real improvement from the first game, and is by no means near a masterpiece level of game play.

    However the biggest issue with this game isn't it's game play, but its story. Its hard to discuss this games story without spoiling anything, but I'm going to try. This game has an awful story. Obviously, thousands of people disagree, which is fine. We are all allowed to have our own opinions. However every place that compliments this games story and certain aspects, I can find counter examples of what they call so amazing. This games story contradicts itself, introduces several deus ex machinas, mcguffins, and is extremely heavy handed in what it's trying to tell. You get a lot of nameless faceless enemies even though the game is meant to show you that there are no nameless faceless enemies, and so on. This in and of itself isn't the biggest hit against the game. The biggest hit against this game, is the connections between people. In the first game you had such amazing and significant connections between characters. And everyone who played it felt it, that's why that game had universal praise. This game following it is like Jak 2 following Jak and Daxter. You can't fault people for being overly critical of a game the is a complete departure of the previous. The example I provided is even more glaring, because Jak and Daxter wasn't a universally praised masterpiece, meaning when the departure happened more people were willing to accept it's new traits. This game however, departs from a masterpiece, and it just falls short.

    So to surmise, given the predecessor of this game does not hold up to me. I platinumed the game, and I wasn't even happy when I did it. There was no happiness when I finally beat the game. I remember being excited to finish it so I could do something else. That feeling itself is enough to justify my score of 5/10.    … Expand

    La phase de réappropriation des personnages est trop courte. Du coup, on s'en fout un peu et on ne peut pas vraiment se sentir dans la peau de Ellie (plus de phase avec Joel aurait été bien mieux).
    On joue très peux Ellie, on nous fait aimer Abby => Qui se trouve être le personnage le plus approfondi du jeu. Ellie trop lisse, voir vide. Jesse et Dina sont des side kicks vide. Quand jesse meurt on s'en fou. Dina a cette touche de l'amoureuse mais au fond on ne sait rien d'elle.

I loved TLOU and the Left Behind DLC, basically because they combined great graphics, sound and gameplay with compelling storylines. The good first: TLOU2 is hands down the best looking and sounding game on PS4. Props to those guys for raising the bar to a standard that won't be met again until the PS5. There's great action scenes in TLOU2: riding and shooting, chilling boss encounters and creepily dark rooms full of clickers etc. I would say 10/10 for Graphics and sound and a solid 8 for gameplay, which is basically the same as in TLOU part 1. But the story is just such a jumbled mess. Characters making decisions that are completely out of character, new characters you don't give a **** about, an unnecessarily jumbled timeline with needless flashbacks and cutscenes that just seem to drag on forever (and you actually have to click/walk through to add to the tedium). To top it all off, an underlying message of "Revenge is bad, nobody's really good" that is layered onto it so thickly throughout the game, like the cheap cheese on a Subway sandwich. Likewise: it nastily clings to your palate and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. When you finally come to the (equally illogical) ending of it all, you just don't give a **** anymore about any of the characters. This franchise is ruined by the ridiculous messaging so obviously pushed by the lead storyteller. And I'm not talking about LGBT representation, something most fans like me are completely cool with and was masterfully done in the Left Behind DLC. I'm talking about the typical post-modern crap: the "lol-nothing-matters, everything is morally gray, there is no good and bad" trope that pervades the writing and makes it indeed impossible to feel anything real for any of the characters, because they act like most people would never do, even under these stressful circumstances. At the end of it all, I was just left with the biggest "Meh" ever and was glad that I didn't have to go though endless cutscenes and backstory on characters I don't give a ish about anymore. Druckmann really needs to take the L on ruining a great franchise. If ever there is a Part 3, I hope the whole writing/storyboard team that did this gets the boot first. He's now accusing everyone critical of the abysmal story as being bigots etc., where apart from the usual pathetic trolls, most ppl are just genuinely pissed about a story with truck-sized plotholes and him pissing over every character from the original franchise. Sorry about the review turning into a rant, but I've looked forward to this game so much and like many, had the experience completely ruined by this lame story. So 0/0 for the story and a big FU for Druckmann for ruining what should've been game of the year for me.… Expand

Im not going to sit here complaining about narrative choices that the developer made. Be it Joel's death or the lengthy play time as abby. They can do whatever it is they want with it. That being said it doesn't mean I have to enjoy it or have fun playing it and I didn't. Personally I feel I would have enjoyed the story more if it was a tv series or movie as opposed to a game. It just didn't have that same "something " that the first game did. Ultimately I play video games to have fun and this game just isn't fun. Clearly its not meant to be and that's ok. Its just not for me.… 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]
