    Loved the game, loved the story. For me, it improves upon the original, which is one of the best games ever created, in every single way. Last of us part 2 is one of the best games that i have ever played and a worthy send-off for the ps4.

    If you love first last of us, do not play it, i am serious DO NOT play it! The storyline is awful and cliched.
    The mundane, dated and buggy gameplay doesn't help one bit, it only adds to the disappointment
    It is everything that a sequel shouldn't be...

    The gameplay was great, but to be honest the overall story was quite terrible and the writing for these characters was horrenodus. it really ruined the game for me especially if you liked the Last of us 1

    This is the worst PS4 game I've ever played! just tons of QTE, walking and talking, and movie cutscenes. I think this developer named ND need to go back to game design school to learn how to make a real game for once. You know, how about giving people choices in the story? How about engaging gameplay and stop wasting people time? I beat it in 25 hrs, but 15 hrs of them are filler andThis is the worst PS4 game I've ever played! just tons of QTE, walking and talking, and movie cutscenes.

    I've been trying to post my review all day but it hasn't been letting me which I've seen people commenting on YouTube videos that they are experiencing too... In summary, nothing can redeem what they did to Joel and Ellie's characters and the decisions made. Charged with virtue signalling equality of outcome rubbish.

    It similar to the last jedi in a sense that it goes out of it's way just to check some boxes and introduce unexpected turns of events with no foreshadowing that make no sense at all. It was so bad that it makes you want to quit the game. No matter how good the rest of the game is.    … Expand

    The story of The Last of Us is not greater than the sum of its parts. Part II is not about fun, which is not to say there aren't good moments dispersed throughout the 25 hour playthrough, but they are too few and far between.

    Don’t understand how thousands of negative reviews came out within twelve hrs of the games release when the gameplay is 27hrs. Regardless such a beautiful game and if you ve been persuaded by the negativity to not play the game do yourself a huge favor and throw it all away. Buy the game and make an educated opinion for yourself.

    I really loved the first game, like most fans. After waiting 7 years and Naughty Dog pushing the release date 3 times. It was a bitter disappointment. Especially after investing 25 hours playing it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes this would be my first review and I’m not a bot. I was a huge last of us fan when the game came out. The fist game had a great set up for a sequel unfortunately this wasn’t the case for this game. I’ll first start off with all positives of the game you can’t say that the game has a terrible visual and scenery. This game right now has the best scenery and graphics on the PS4. The attention to detail is extraordinary. The gameplay is also solid as they kept the same mechanics from the 1st game and more of visual affect, such as when you can see your character upgrading your weapons. Now to the story where game takes a turn and the thing the last of us revolves on. The theme of this game is revenge and it’s represented well, but the story takes a turn. You play as the new character named Abby a muscular blonde woman. She wants to get revenge on Joel since he killed her father who was apart of Ellie’s operation in the End of the first game. Abby in the early part of the game ambushed Joel and Tommy after helping her out. I don’t agree on how they approach his death in such a horrific way by Abby going to town on his with a club. Yes Joel has done some horrible things as we know for the first game for his own well being. But as we were playing Joel we didn’t care that he did dose things since we wanted Joel to go threw dose things. The next part the game is you are playing as Ellie and trying to find were Abby is and trying to kill her for half of the game. Then for the next 10 hours you play as Abby and I guess the dev thought that we going to sympathize with Abby by giving us flash back to her life but I never really do. As you play as Abby you meet lev and her sister and trying to get medical supplies to amputate her arm. But as was playing I didn’t understand why are doing and what was the point of the goal. At the very end Ellie try’s to get revenge on Abby after falling the first time. Abby is strung up a poll skinny and weak, finnaly there is a last battle with Ellie and Abby where Ellie has the upper hand and nearly drowns Abby but doesn’t go threw with it. This made mad since there was no point of doing this if not going threw with it I was and as many gamers where finally happy to see that we were going to reconciliation for the actions of what Abby did but we don’t. The devs are trying to make us do decisions that we don’t to do and puts in political points to make us follow. This game was a gem and now it’s Cheaks… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seré breve, desde el inicio de la saga se nos presenta una realidad que me hizo amar la psicología de personajes: no existe la división entre buenos y malos, aquí no hay héroes, tan solo personas que tratan de sobrevivir, Joel no era un héroe como actualmente estamos tan acostumbrados a ver, me encanta leer y lo he hecho muchísimo, también ver películas y series, pero todo ultimando me ha parecido seco, tan cliché y políticamente correcto que no me dan motivaciones, los buenos son perfectos y los malos no tienen motivaciones que les justifiquen, pero The Last of Us es distinto y eso me hace sentir. La polémica muerte de Joel me parece totalmente asombrosa, una muerte cruel, injusta y estresante, todo el día la pase con un nudo en la garganta, un dolor agudo en la cabeza debido al estrés, sientes odio y crudeza y es algo ASOMBROSO,… Expand

    Game looks and plays amazing. Any fan of the first game is in for an emotional onslaught. Also paints a vivid picture for the "human condition" and makes you question your own morality and think of who the actual "good guys" are in a scenario. I'm beyond impressed. Can't wait to see the multiplayer when it drops.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful game. Fantastic graphics, music and voice acting. HOWEVER
    The story was NOT good. The pacing was all over the place and a lot of the time situations and emotions felt awkward and forced. For example, there is repetitive focus on pregnant ladies (one of which was heavily pregnant and would not have been able to do half of the stuff they were doing). Once or twice would have been fine, but they put three separate cases into the story to try to force emotion.
    There was also way too much focus on the new protagonist of Abby. I understand why the creators wanted us to sympathise with her, but after a main character's death was shoehorned in for shock value, I had no care for her or her colleagues. I would maybe have cut down the gameplay with her to 4 hours as it just became dull and repetitive when I was already lacking an incentive to care about her side of the story.
    By the end of the game I just felt empty and disappointed. Not in the lack of resolution but in the way they had taken what had been so fantastic about the original game- the characterisation and narrative- and completely forgotten all about it. I found it extremely hard to finish the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stellar graphics make an amazing game better.

    Amazing graphics don't make a bad game good.

    The Last of Us introduces you to great, yet broken characters that grow and evolve as the game progresses, there is complexity and thought provoking ideals gracefully presented to the player. It emerges you in a dark, post apocalyptic bleak world. But some friendly banter and reminiscence of times gone brings some relief, sometimes comedic, sometimes sad relief from the world. It's was this small nuance in character development that made Sam and Henry unforgettable and their deaths that much more painful

    The Last of Us part II forgoes all that and decides to just take characters and change their mindset on a whim in order to force a standard run of the mill violent vengence plot on the player. The story is full of holes and apparently a whole lot happened in 4 years. PSP's make a comeback in 2038. I'm sorry but the first game set you up to believe the world had gone to absolute crap. Part II shows us nature reclaiming cities, yet I'm supposed to believe that a 25+year old PSP survived, still holds a charge longer than 10mins and the UMD disc's haven't corroded? When did society begin making clothes? there are many inconsistencies that break the game out of the setting it's placed in. But hey it all LOOKS good.

    Back to the story, it plays out sort of like Kill Bill, only by the end of the movie she lets Bill go instead of giving him the the 5 point exploding heart treatment. Over and over again Ellie pays the price for vengeance only to in the end let her target go for no reason, in fact it portrays the direction they took her character. So at the end of the game your left empty and alone without event the satisfaction of revenge.
    In fact if you want a good violent revenge story go watch the Kill Bill movies and if you want a revenge plot done better in a game format look to Tales of Berseria.

    Now this alone doesn't subject it to a ZERO score. However the game was marketed and early reviewers were strictly forbidden to talk about key points to mislead the public. The entire premise was to paint this light that the player would be returning to the world and the story would once again revolve around Ellie and Joel. This kind of bait and switch tactics, combined with the active DMCA striking and the mentality that you either kiss ND's (both Naughty Dog and Neil Druckman) ass and call the game amazing 10/10 or your "Toxic" or a "Incel" drops its below average score of 4 to a 2. Just because I don't think the game is amazing doesn't mean I'm Toxic. They are free to say its "The most ambitious game" and I'm free to disagree with that, it doesn't mean either party is being Toxic. People can agree to disagree but ND doesn't want to be civil about it.    … 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]
