The second part presented a new narrative experience that was not there before. But for the main plot topics, the developers had to sacrifice functional characters, which I did not like. I did not understand the ending right away, for this I had to remember the game and look for answers, because the reason for the act was much deeper than other similar moments in the scenario. Gameplay is awesome. There are transfers to only 2-3 encounters, the rest is great. Graphics, technology and details ofc amazing too… Expand

    Just finished the story. The Last Of Us didn’t need a sequel is how I feel. Solid game though, how can you not play it when there’s so many emotional ties connected to the first game.

    Игра просто потрясающая. Да, есть спорные моменты, но их мало и они незначительны. Важнее, то что это игра дарит неподдельные эмоции, погружает в себя с головой и по-настоящему шокирует.

    It's amazing. If you liked the first game, you will like this game. If you say you don't, please stop whining about a story that was different from what you wanted to see. Life is hard . Considering the gameplay, everything great about the first part has been kept and improved. It did a great job at pulling you really into that world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 7 years of waiting i thought the life of Joel and Ellie would be presented to us with a meaningful and compelling story.
    Instead of that i finished the game only to see Joel dying at the prologue out of nowhere from some uninteresting characters that doesn't mean anything to me because the story is so badly writen and executed that it doesn't even bother to make them shine.
    So much sadness and misery for nothing and two beloved characters ruined.
    This is not a good tribute to what made TLOU such an amazing game.
    I would also like to mention the misleading and false marketing of the game that will never be forgotten.
    Good graphics,amazing sound and music with more refined gameplay mechanics than it's predecessor but with a poorly written and executed story that is more comparable to a B movie.    … Expand

    The game looks great and the gameplay is really good. But the big problem as you know is the story. The problem is that you have to play as Abby for 10+ hours in the game. Being forced to kill dogs and bad story choices.

    Stop hate this game if you never played it, guys. That's not a good idea to post your negative rates just because the most of main characters are female.
    Yes, maybe this time the story isn't brilliant, but everything else is still perfect.

    P.S. Thank you, Naughty Dog, for each hour of your great game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay and graphics are well done. This is the best looking game on the PS4. The sound design is also great, but the characters and story are terrible and I never thought that this would be the product we got after waiting for 7 years. Joel, the beloved protagonist in the first game is killed off within the first 2 hours of the game and he only gets 10-15 minutes of screentime. How does Joel get killed? Well, he and Tommy rescue this girl named Abby and head back to where her group is staying at to escape from the infected horde that attacked them. For some reason, they think it is a good idea to tell this group of strangers that they just met their names, their relation, where they live, and even invite them over to restock on supplies. But in the first game, Joel doesn't trust anyone and even ran over a guy who faked from being hurt. Also, in the first game, when Ellie met David she doesn't trust him at all even after they survive an infected horde attacking them. So apparently Joel and Tommy have lost their survivor instincts and trust anyone they come across and tell them everything about themselves and invite them over. Well turns out that this gets Joel killed because the girl he rescued from the horde wanted to kill him. She kills him with a golf club while Ellie watches her and begs her not to do it. And for some reason, they decide not to kill Tommy or Ellie despite knowing Tommy just told them that Joel was his brother and knowing Ellie was somehow close to Joel because how Ellie begs Abby to spare his life and reacts to his death. The only reason why the writers didn't kill off Ellie and Tommy here is because they have a story to tell. I cannot believe how bad this writing is so far. Anyway, Ellie wants revenge and travels to Seattle so she can "KIll every last one of them." She does kill every person involved in Joel's death except Abby who was the one who actually killed Joel. She had the chance to kill Abby, but she decides to let her go because she thinks revenge is bad now. Imagine playing God of War 3 and Kratos is trying to get revenge on the Greek Gods for doing him wrong. He kills every god except Zeus who was the main one he wanted to kill. Zeus is almost dead and Kratos is like "No, I'm done. You can go." Or your watching John Wick and John Wick goes after the guy who stole his car and killed his puppy. He kills about a hundred people and when he gets to the guy who stole his car and killed his puppy and is about to kill him he is like "No, I'm good." and walks away. That is the ending of The Last Of US 2. Also, the game makes you play as Abby and tries to show you she is a good person. They make you try to feel sorry for her, but it fails so hard because you don't care about her since she killed Joel. I like how they make Abby seem like she's the good character and Ellie is evil, but Abby gets her revenge when Ellie doesn't. Really? Everyone would think the exact opposite. The game's message is trying to teach you revenge is bad and it'll cause pain and push everyone away from you. But again it fails because Abby got her revenge and got what she wanted at the end of the game which was to go off with a boy she met named Lev and Ellie doesn't get her revenge but she loses everything which was her girlfriend Dina, the baby that Dina had with her ex, Tommy, Joel, 2 of her fingers, and the ability to play the guitar. The ending literally contradicts the message the story is trying to tell you. The writing is a joke. I will not buy part 3 if they ever make one, I will never trust critic reviews again, and if they decide to make Uncharted 5 I will not buy it until I see reviews of it by other gamers and not trust the reviews by critics.… Expand

    Just finished. 9.6/10. It's an extremely well executed video game. It might not make you feel good, and you might not like the plot, which is fine, but the story was creative and well crafted, and nobody is complaining about the graphics and gameplay. The negative brigading seems pathetic.

    I waited 7 years for this game and I am terribly disappointed. horrible story, they killed the protagonists and put a female character (Ebby) without charisma, disgusting and we still have to play with her. remove the incompetent and stupid Neil Druckmann, he ruined the game. The Last of Us 2 sucks!

    Me encantó, pueden hablar mal de él pero es meramente algo sentimental, hay que abrir los ojos y notar que solo es un juego no lo hagas parte de tu vida por que no debe ser así, solo es para divertir. Siento que es un poco patético atacar una historia simplemente por que no lo esperabas, y más aún flatarle el respeto a guionistas por que simplemente no pensaron como tu.

    Basically, how Joel's death was executed and being forced to play as the killer and ND trying to make us feel sympathy towards her is why this game sucks, also not fulfilling Ellie's goal of vengeance.    … Expand

    Don’t buy this game it ignores the whole reason the first game was enjoyed. I don’t want to play so long as this random chick who we already hate. What is the point of that trying to force you to emphasize with this random person when the whole reason the first game was good was the relationship between Joel and Ellie.

    Just completed this and managed to avoid the spoilers. Having done so I've just had a look online to see what all the fuss was abkut.

    It boils down to angry incels feeling "cheated". By all means look up what their saying. But play it and make up your own mind.

    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]
