    Honestly speaking, one big disappointment (gameplay, plot, characters, lore - everything from the first part is ruined). I would not recommend this game to anyone. Also, the authors' response to criticism was from being adequate. The game is purely awful, while the authors started emphasizing political context of criticism in order to make better impression. Such a disappointment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely loved the first game, played it over and over again, and when I heard they were making a second one, I couldn’t contain my excitement!! But when the second instalment arrived.........well I can say I’ve played it through once and will not be playing it again. The game itself was very well done and the graphics were flawless, but I didn’t enjoy playing Ellie as much as I thought I would and the whole character swapping was the final nail in the coffin. The biggest setback for me was the story, from the moment Joel died I just felt like the game betrayed him by letting us play the girl that killed him and tried to tell her sob story so that killing Joel wouldn’t be so bad. Then right at the end after all that struggle, Ellie let her go!! I mean WTF?!?! Just a totally piss poor effort from naughty dog. Will not be playing the third if there is unless it’s a total rewrite of this poor effort of a story!!… Expand

    Loved the original game, this one....not so much.

    Graphics and atmosphere are top notch. However there is no way this is a 10/10. Games like Bioshock, GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout NV are 10/10 games that are replayble, this is not.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story is poorly written. Characters act so out of how they were described in the first chapter. Joel's death makes no sense. The protagonists of the first game exist here only to be killed or destroyed for some reasons. Manipulative section to make you feel sorry for the villain. New characters are not interesting at all.
    The gameplay is good but almost the same as the first one. Good graphic at least.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This sequel made me feel like I was watching Game Of Thrones Season 8 again- an initially beautiful & strong story, totally trashed. And no- I am not hating "because my favourite character died", or that there was LGBT representation, or that Abby was "Swoll" (I wish i could throw punches like her). I am awarding 1 score for the graphics, and 2nd score for the game play. The story, its plot-holes and other nonsensical things (like PREGNANT women going to war or a woman being A FEW WEEKS LATE on her period, venturing into a zombie-infested wild country) get absolute zero. And a special ZERO for making us play 70% of the game with characters we didn't care about. The music is fantastic though, but that's not Naughty Dog's talent, so they dont get a score for it!… Expand

I too have waited a very long time to play this game, I purchased it on release (my birthday), and while I found it a little slow to start with, I now find myself at the mid point in the game completely invested in the story and it's characters. The gameplay is amazing, and without any doubt this is the best looking game on the ps4. Very few games have compelled me to play through them again, however I played through the first game in this series several times, and once I have finished this game I can see myself doing exactly the same. It's a great game, experience, emotional rollercoaster filled with tender moment, heart stopping scares, great action and amazing presentation. It's not going to be for everyone, it can be tough at times, frustrating even, being hunted by a bunch of infected with no supplies is a scenario I have found myself dying in time and time again, but it is rewarding too. In my opinion, and I may be wrong, this is the game PS4 will be remembered for, and I would encourage anybody to at the very least try it. Maybe my opinion will change when the end game credits start to roll, but unless naughty dog have done something seriously wrong with the second half of this game, it's s perfect 10 for me.… Expand

    Overhyped just like the first one.If this game was a cross platform it would be considered mediocre.
    Small maps , linear gameplay , cheesy and predictable story...what did even the fanboys saw in this.
    Not to mention the political agenda the second part tries to push..Disgusting.

    Pas de quoi casser 3 pattes à un canard. Malgré un forçage médiatique jamais vu, des spots de pubs télé et cinéma, tous les journalistes payés/menacés ( ce n'est même plus un secret), on ne peut forcer les gens à avaler que ce jeu est le meilleur de tous les temps. C'est un jeu ok, sans plus. Et je ne parle pas du côté politique SJW engagé et assumé par l'équipe. Dommage.

    Naughty Dog writers did the fans dirty as hell. This story line is not how you reward fans for loving your first installment. I’m pretty numb towards the writers of the last of us 2 right now, and have been since I saw Joel die. Why was this even brought up at the table? Which genius had that bright idea? Cuz it’s dumb!

I’m pretty numb towards the writers of the last of us 2 right now, and have been since I saw Joel die. Why was this even brought up at the table? Which genius had that bright idea? Cuz it’s dumb! Every fan out there wanted Joel and Ellie to fight more monsters and grow into a deeper father daughter type relationship. Not this. Nobody asked for this. Nobody wanted what we got instead. Nobody. I hope someone learned something from this butt plunging, no soap, disheartening taste naughty dog left to all it’s “previous” fans. The game sold big numbers cuz fans thought they were getting Joel and Ellie back for another fantastic adventure. Had people have known what was really about to happen sales numbers would look very different. Then they make me use the very character that kills Joel... which I didn’t want any part of! I had to pause the game and think about if I really was gonna continue or not. I asked myself some very hard personal questions about my level of forgiveness towards people and if I was willing to go through with trying to understand Abbey’s side of the story. I didn’t want to. But I chose to stuff my emotions and see what naughty dog wanted me to feel. Fine, let’s go. Abbey grew on me and I started to feel her pain. Thanks for teaching me that, really. I’m better for it. Then you make me fight Ellie??? NO, I won’t. I don’t want to. Why!? Wtf! What’s wrong with y’all? I don’t want to fight her, I love her like a sister from 5 years ago, remember. What the hell is wrong with you people? Ok, so I can’t progress in the story unless I try to kill Ellie, so FINE we have to do it I guess. Now at this point I’m playing the game with nothing left to feel about Joel, or Ellie or Abbey cuz I’m too scared to like any characters anymore! So I’m just pushing buttons to get over the story by now. Maybe my love for artwork or the console itself will help. So I get to the end and abbey is looking like a crackhead but she still strong enough to go toe to toe with Ells. Whatever. It’s finally over and Ellie lost her girlfriend over for nothing. Water her time going to look for fake revenge. At least give me a reason to like somebody somewhere! Damn! Not even a little! Just rape me. Take my money and run. I haven’t felt this used since Glenn was killed of from walking dead! I’m not buying another game by naughty dog. Not after the way they treated my loyalty to their characters. I bought PlayStation avatars of the characters I loved, paid more money for the amped up version, and for what? To get it all taken away. Fool me once...… Expand

I thought they were all brave and engaging choices. The visuals/art of the game are incredible as well. Nothing wrong with the technical. What I have a problem is the lazy, heavy handed, hollow, and failed narrative it TRIES to pull off at the end. It blows my mind that they couldn't see this coming. Did they really think they could introduce us to a new character/narrative that is SOO good that we forget what we fell in love with in the first game and are willing to forgive the destruction of that. If Neil/ND are actually going to take their own 'moral of the story' from this game, then there shouldn't be a Part 3 or any humans dying in the hands of our protagonist in any of their games from now on. They killed their own franchise. And their fanbase. Unforgivable.… 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.
