Seems dragging and boring. New characters are just not that relate-table for me. This is just not the sequel I am looking for.    … Expand

    So after all the hype I was expecting a spectacular game it was a complete let down. I really dont see where all these people crying about this game. It was a over all bad game.

    Overall the story was written like someone who was wrote a college essay last minute, extremely sloppy. It tried so hard to be different and speak on social issues which was great but came across as trying too hard and in the end was just an utter embarrassment of a game. Little to no enjoyable parts, it became very redundant.

    An amazing sequel and a game that you have experience. Be warned though that this game is not easily digestible. There is no fun in the traditional sense. There are no heroes in the world of the last of us.

    I had loved the first one - This one goes beyond. It's visceral and you're gonna be tapped to your sofa for the 25-20h needed to compleet the story.
    The best PS4 game made ever (and I'm a fan of TW3 which is completely different by the way). I really don't understand at all the bad critics from users, the story is jsut insane and most of all the way they make you live it is just mindblazing.

    I can only talk about this game in superlatives. There is no word, that how grateful I'm for the Naughty Dog to put this incredible effort to create even the tiniest details and drop my jaw everytime when I play this unbelievable adventure. This game is worth even way more money than It costs. Thanks again for this great experience!

    Best technics for a game, you can feel tension when shooting starts and maybe first time in gaming history we can say that acting is perfect. Even NPCs have life and you can understand that in their reactions. Game story is good, it gave the chaotic world's situation very well. There is not bad or good but gray. Must play

    The narrative of this game is like a tobacco company preaching about the bad effects of smoking. The level of gore, violence and torture is insufferable and thats what makes this game a money maker. Yet the game somehow wants to teach you after long hours of non ending violence, that violence is bad. This is like a porn movie trying to teach people about celibacy.

    This is one of the stupidest narratives I've ever encountered in gaming and the way they pull it off makes it even dumber. The game thinks its smart and hypocrites might think it is.(Like its totally cool to kill hundreds of ppl in this game in some of the goriest ways imaginable because this game is against violence.) But in reality it is a tribute to violence, a wolf in sheeps clothing.

    The graphics, animation,sound and acting is amazing though. So it's like Speed Racer or Tron:Legacy. A visually stunning product without any merit to its core.

    But you can certainly enjoy the game if you dont give a **** about in game characters and the stupid narrative pushed on you and you embrace your inner psycho.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The visuals and graphics of the game were unreal it has to be one of the best looking games ever. The gameplay was what you would expect after playing the first game. What really let the game down was the overall story Joel’s death was completely understandable however it was the disrespectful way in how they had Joel die is what has angered me and the people as they absolutely ruined a beloved character through having him make a stupid decision which was so out of his character which just doesn’t add up. The ending was also extremely underwhelming as Ellie was settled a year later with her family to then force herself to go back for vengeance to then not even fulfil the vengeance she sought. The game made a huge mistake in the layout of the story as they made it almost impossible to have any sympathy for Abby due to the fact she was a random character who we knew nothing about who killed the most loved character ever introduced to the franchise. There is more negatives which I will not go into however Overall In my opinion the game is just completely demoralising ruining the mood for the player at any possible chance it gets as it just sought to portray the message of revenge being bad for anyone involved. It completely ruined the characters I fell in love with in the first game by completely changing their personality and characteristics that they had in the first game. I feel a six is justified due to the beauty of the game alone as you can see the amount of effort put into the visuals I just wish I could say the same for the effort put into the story.… Expand

    Finished the game and traded it in immediately. I have to pretend like this game doesn't exist now as it ruined the franchise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the most disapointing games of all time, competes with Mafia 3. Our honest problem with the game is the story. The first game had amazing characters and story. So the expectations were high. Joel is my favorite game character of all time. He could sense trouble coming from a mile away. And he is a survivor. But in this game, he acts out of character, so he dies. Ellie says Joel and Tommy would do anything to survive. But then Joel and Tommy risk their own lives by saving a random girl getting chased by a horde of zombies. Honestly Joel and Tommy would've just left her to die and head back to Jackson. But instead they for some reason saved her. Then told her their names. Then went to a basement in their place. That totally didn't make any sense. And another thing is that, Ellie is not likable at all in this game. She always acts like a jerk to everyone. In the beginning of the game, a character named Seth apologizes and she doesn't even care. And then she acts like a jerk to Joel. And then there is the worst part about this game, the Abby part. The game tries to make us like Abby for some reason. And it doesn't work. I hate Abby. I dont even like Ellie that much anymore but at least she tries to get revenge for Joel. And then she fails, with weapons, against a weaponless Abby. that didn't make any sense either. And then there is the final. The game tries to give a cliche message, "revenge is bad, killing Abby would get me nowhere, I should forgive Joel and Abby" when it didn't need to. All we wanted from this game was, Ellie to kill Abby at that point. But instead, she lets her go. The only thing left from Joel was, playing the guitar. And Abby took that from Ellie too. Killed Joel, killed Jesse, shot Tommy, bit 2 of her fingers, and she still lets her go. Thats just poor writing. And I haven't even talked about the romance scenes the whole game, they are so bad that I dont want to talk about them.… Expand

    Decisions were made.... absolutely bland story, after playing 2 hours you can see the ending from miles away, the only thing you can't predict are the amazingly stupid, careless and arrogant decisions made in this game.
    If you care about the first one, I suggest you not to play this.

    Game Graphics, Atmosphere, animation has been great, but the story that forms the basis of the most important game could not be written so much. Except for the story, with the contributions of others, he got 1 point from me, and if not, don't buy a game that would deserve 0 points.

    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]
