    Gameplay and graphics are generally much better than the first one. The lack luster story really let's this game down.

    Masterpiece! The last of us 2 , is one of the best games ever created . The story is insanely awesome and the gameplay is full of new stuff. Crafting and upgrading looks and feels so real

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A middle of the road score for a middle of the road movie masquerading itself as a game. I swear that after a battle between Ellie and the main antagonist, there was a 20+ minute cinematic of Ellie in her new life with only little bits of walking around to "herd the goats" or, having killed a rabbit (in the scene) walking back to the farm where she lives. That was the only control you had.

    The graphics and music score are amazing and if the game play lived up to them, it would easily be a 10/10. But they don't. And it isn't.

    I care about Ellie and Joel. I spent 15+ hours with them in the first game and wanted to see how things progressed with them again and Naughty Dog had a great opportunity to do so. The story could so easily have been Ellie finding out what Joel did at the end of the first game, running off and Joel chasing after her to bring her home. Cutting between the two characters alternately for varied game play.

    There became no chance of anything of the sort when Joel was killed but at that moment, I really, honestly and truthfully and wanted revenge against Abby, his murderer.

    I don't care about Abby at all and, midway through the game, you are forced to play as her. I found myself deliberately throwing her off of high places or leaving her to the infected just to see her die. I also found myself playing JUST to finish the game and get my 100GB of hard disk space back.

    All of the other characters are unmemorable and mostly unlikable as well. So I didn't. When they died (always scripted, no matter what you did) it meant nothing to me.

    The thing that really got me was exactly how linear the game is. There is a point where Ellie is chasing one of the gang who killed Joel into some spores. This girl is dead either way. Either Ellie kills her or the spores get her and she turns. The problem is, you don't get that choice. All you can do is continually press a button to cave her skull in. I don't expect Mass Effect like choices in a Naughty Dog game but I'd hope to have some choice along the way.

    So after all the hype, the misleading trailers and pre-purchase excitement, I can only give this "game" 5/10.    … Expand

    I give this game a 5 because the positive points of the game are good graphics and good gameplay but then the story which i think ts the most important thing its just garbage i actually think killing Joel is a good idea but the way they killed him with a golf stick its just super dissapointing and then we play as Abby the character we all hate it would be a god idea if we played as her like we did same story and all but they donnt show us that she killed Joel until we nearly finish the game and we can choose when we want to play as Abby and Ellie another thing we all would think Abby is a good character until she kills Joel and about Ellie she lost her charisma and in the end we can choose to kill Abby or to let her live.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics and gameplay are great (beautiful game), although the mechanics are much like the previous game. What really upsets me is the storytelling, and some of the unnecessary turns the game takes. I loved the first game. However in this game I often was forced to do something I didn’t want to do, and I was often disappointed or to some degree angry at how the game played out. The ending was overall very disappointing and it left me very dissatisfied.… Expand

    Really really really bad story, one of the worst stories in history. Everything is perfect in this game except the story. It really should not win the “Game of The Year” award because of the horrible story.

    Many people really hope that the game makers do not get this award so they can learn a lesson, they really do not deserve this award.

    Everything about the game other than the story is great. Ellie and Joel have been dumbed down to the point where they feel like complete different people altogether. I do not recommend anyone buy this game for £50 like i did wait for a sale or buy a used copy. this game is not worth full price.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS below...

    Far, far, far too long. It's like they included a DLC that you have to play between the end of the game and the epilogue (which should have been on the idyllic farm - Ellie should never have gone to Santa Barbara).

    There was also no good reason for Ellie to go through all 3 days. She barely escaped with her life from a few scenarios and she could have just turned round and gone home at any time, especially once she found Jesse & discovered Dina was pregnant. Tommy was fine on his own. The stakes were never high enough (unlike the first game where Ellie was going to be the source of a cure). I just spent most of my time thinking what's the point?

    I wouldn't have minded playing as Abby - I think it's a good idea to see both sides of a story - but the whole thing was just dragged out far too much. I was bored of playing as Ellie at the end of day 3 and thought I'd finished the game. Then I had to play as Abby for another 10+ hours (which I also got bored of, literally an hour or so into day 1). Some scenes were also very hard when playing on hard.

    There was absolutely no reason for Ellie to leave the farm and go after Abby again. It was just pointless. It also annoyed me again because I thought I'd finally finished the game and Ellie had found happiness, only to have her inexplicably throw it all away to go back to hunt for Abby, and again, why? She and Joel were survivors... I think she'd have been glad to have been in love and with Dina. She wouldn't have gone.

    In this game I also couldn't help wondering how zombies stay alive. I mean, Ellie goes into a building that's been deserted for 20 years and there are zombies walking around in there? I did think that in the first game but I let it go. In this game though, when she falls through a floor or something and there's a monster waiting for her it was just a farce. But it's a zombie game, so I almost let it go, but couldn't really this time.

    I played the first game a second time. I'll never play this again. It was far too long and just wasn't enjoyable (although it looked great).    … Expand

    Una GRAN (Mala) sorpresa:
    TLoU II era EL juego esperado, sobre todo si habías jugado al TLoU de PS3 o la remasterización en PS4.

    Los gráficos 9/10: Son hermosos, de lo mejor en PS4
    La jugabilidad 8/10: Movimientos suaves y precisos
    La música 8/10: Santaolalla se pasa otra vez, y no le pongo un 9 porque en TLoU me impacto mas.
    Historia 1/10: Totalmente decepcionante, no atrapa como en el primero. Hay partes que las jugué rápido solo para avanzar en la historia y que se terminara de una vez (es lo peor que te puede pasar).
    Personajes 1/10: Todo mal acá también! Joel se merecía mas, mucho mas. Ellie baja un par de puntos con respecto a la primera parte, se esfuerzan por hacerla quedar mal y casi lo logran. Abby... solo vas a querer que termine pronto, se esfuerzan por querer justificarla y solo crea mas rechazo al personaje.
    Conclusión: Un juego que tenia el potencial para ser LA joya del ocaso de PS4 y que solo será recordado por sus controversias y dividir a la opinión de los jugadores.
    Una ABSOLUTA DECEPCION, no se lo puedo recomendar a nadie.    … Expand

Begging from the first trailers in 2016, where old joel was replaced with jessie in the game and old joel being replaced with a younger joel in some of the flashbacks that were meant to be in game present time. I gave it 5 because of the graphics and gameplay only. If it was only for the story i would’ve gave it 1/10. Thank you Neil for killing this legacy… Expand

    The game was one of the best ways to make a tlou2, but its still not a great game. Tlou was perfect and complete, there was no way of making a 2 game... Now I come to my experience with the game: The gameplay was good and worked almost all the time( there are some bugs) but didn't change a lot compared to the first game. The writing was almost all the time predictable and not well made(The game was one of the best ways to make a tlou2, but its still not a great game.

    The game is not very good, I am bored during the battle, artificial intelligence sometimes does not work well, there are almost no men in the game, only chicks with guns, it's funny to watch ... And the plot ... He didn't interest me too much ... For me, the game turned out to be so myself, so I put 5 out of 10.

    Unsatisfactory ending for just about every character you loved in the first game. The only positive aspects of this game are the technical elements. The pacing of the story is a complete mess. Making edgy decisions for the sake of having a conversation should not be done in an established franchised with loved characters.

    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]
