    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is good but not worth buying. I was astonished by the beautiful scenes and well-designed AI. Everything is so perfect except the story-telling, which gives you a deep-dark, depressing, and devastating feeling. The story starts with bitter and end with bitter again. Come on, life sucks, I don't want to suffer from game anymore.… Expand

    Only the sound and graphics are what made the game semi- bearable. The story is what sold the first game and this is just... bad...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It seems the vast majority of people who dislike this game were simply after fan service Joel and Ellie adventures. This game tells a story which creates such a vividly rich image of the world it’s set in.

    It provides a unique take on storytelling that deviates from the main characters and shows the new perspectives of all characters involved, and after the initial frustrations of not wanting to play asr the bad guy because they’re ‘bad’ you begin to empathise with their motives are eventually see that they’re life runs as a parallel to that of Ellie’s. They’re just two individuals caught up in a cruel world where life is so painfully cheap.

    There is no plot armour, characters are just people in all their complex glory.

    This game is a must buy if you enjoyed the first one, the story is gorgeously pulled off once you understand it breaks the tradition of standard storytelling. And of course, the gameplay is scaled up tenfold from the first instalment, every moment feels satisfying and visceral. And holy **** does it look and feel amazing, the atmosphere and immersion in this game is like no other.

    Don’t listen to the review-bombers who hate any notion of LGBT in their games (which by the way feels incredibly natural in this game and not forced at all). Play the game yourself and form your own opinion, I loved this game for doing something different whilst still staying so brutally ‘The Last of Us’.    … Expand

    To be fair the game play, though not much of a change, still okay. graphics was nice and good. that being said, the reason i like the TLOU1 is the story so for me this is just a let down. if not for the story i think it wont be much of a drag to play this. new characters are just not likable. original characters just nerfed for the sake of the plot so dissapointing. too linear and just bleak

But if you stick with it, you'll be rewarded with one of the best conclusions to a story you'll experience. Before playing this game Red Dead Redemption 2 was my favorite single player story. .

Not only did he die he was heartbroke about their relationship and even more he says he would of let her die if given the opportunity again. ****… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although it’s not as tightly written as the first installment it’s a wild narrative that speaks volumes on violence and loss while also being extremely gripping. Not once did I find myself bored, maybe scared or thrilled or depressed, but I never wanted to put down the controller. I also don’t think it was perfect but mostly because of specific segments that had me dying too much or being confused on where to go next. But the combat in this game is brutal and most of the time feels as real as a fame can get. The story is the subjective factor responsible for most hate towards the game. Joel’s death and Abby gameplay is the most hated aspect. But if you’re open minded to what this game has to offer you would enjoy the ride because this is one hell of game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gotta say I was very sceptical because of all the noise before the games release, but after having completed it I found it to be absolutely perfect. It had some really tough emotional scenes, but I feel like it fits in perfectly in this harsh imperfect world TLOU is set it. Lot of hard emotional scenes, that really adds to the post apocalyptic scenery. The graphics are stunning, gameplay is amazing, and the story blew me away. It’s just so hard hitting. I was left numb and emotionally drained at the end. Don’t believe the 0/5 comments, it’s become popular to hate on this game due to its representation of diversity and LGBT coverage. I am not for overrepresentation these issues normally but I thought they addressed it in a subtle and relevant way. It’s just incredibly well done. Masterpiece… Expand

    This game disrespects central characters. The gameplay ok but the story is laughable and in fact insulting to the fans. Forced identity politics and regressive ideology as usual, think of Terminator: Dark Fate, Recent Star Wars, Batwoman, GoT season8 ... The worst is Naughty Dog's false and misleading advertisement and marketing of this game. Wait for User Reviews before you buy it.

    Love the game great story and graphics some parts of the story were saddening but i felt the emotion that i think the developers intended and may have relied on. No story is good without plot twists and things that make you feel angry, sad, happy etc.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of Us part 1 was a 10/10 story with probably 6/10 gameplay in my opinion. Well here in the second one it is probably the opposite. I LOVE this new gameplay mechanics when you play as Ellie (on hardest difficulty its even better, you have to really outsmart your enemy, watch out for your ammo and trully think before you act). It is BRUTAL, you can deform your enemy, make them suffer, cut off their limbs, disarm them and make them beg for their life, before you kill them, it is something new and fresh, that I missed in the first one. On the other hand, the story is much weaker then the first one. Pacing is terrible, you play as Ellie the first half of the game with 4 flashbacks and than you play the other half as Abby with her own flashbacks, the problem is, that these two narratives dont connect at all, all you learn as Abby is that her group is alright and pretty much innocent. Abbys story gets better at the end, when she connects with Lev and finds her long ago lost feelings. I liked the ending, Ellie was possessed with revange and lost everything because of her selfish acts (just like Joel in the first game). At the end she reminds herself of the last conversation with Joel where she said to him, that she cant forgive him, but she can at least try, thats why she lets Abby go. This story is about forgiveness, not about revange. Loved Ellies parts of the game, but I was bored with Abby tbh, well ... It is still a great game and it is a must have for PS4 for its controversy itself ... Im giving it a weak 8/10 (deserved 7, but Naughty dog made some AWESOME games and Im forgiving them these flops) ;)… 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]
