    This game is actually unbelievable, the story, the gameplay, the graphics, everything is absolutely amazing.

The story is far from terrible I won't go into detail because of spoilers but it's an intense, emotional and sometimes scary. I just don't get why everyone is bombing all review sites rating 0 stars, just pathetic. Maybe it's because of Ellie and dina and their relationship? (I have no idea why it would be that but I've seen some people complain) or the main plot, I can understand some reviews about the plot but it doesn't deserve the 0 stars, other than that 1 part which was very sad, the rest is great. I did start the game after reading all the bad reviews and a lot say after 2hrs it goes down hill, IT DOES NOT! . I agree with the critics this game is definitely a 10/10 game its wonderful.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the long-awaited appearance of the second part of "One of Us" happened. It was something. A magnificent journey and a sea of ​​violence. Visually, the picture is gorgeous, the characters are interesting, the gameplay remains the same as in the first part and has changed a bit. The plot turned out to be peculiar, but not bad. Joel's death was stupid and the choice of Ellie in the final disappointed. But the whole picture of the story turned out to be good and interesting. I believe that the game has earned high marks. The best game in the genre.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best game this generation, or at least a very good contender for it. Flipping the protagonist and antagonist theme on it's head and providing an unrivalled experience of the consequence of ones actions. Dark, harrowing and extremely beautiful. A terrific piece of work and story. The story is a mix of happiness and then sadness - a beautiful roller coaster ride that explores human emotion - and delves deep into the cycle of hatred and consequence.

    I have been up for one sitting and completed it. It is truly incredible. Yes, some of the story elements can be disappointing, but this does not make it a bad game in any context. Please do not listen to the review bombers, who have been waiting for the Metacritic user review section to open to purely review bomb the game when the majority of them have not even played it.

    To rate the game 0, but give it a 10 for graphics and 7 for gameplay makes absolute no sense whoever that silly user was. Clearly the game is being targeted due to the high profile and anti-fans will stop at nothing to ruin it. It is a shame but I suggest Metacritic take these reviews down as it is clearly not true.

    Now to actually delve into the review: No spoilers:

    Graphics: a solid 10 - these are some of the best visuals on PS4 and one of the best art directions I have ever seen. The material work is just absolutely spectacular... the level of detail present really brings you into the world. I will also mention animation here to save reading time - animation is by far the best I have ever seen utilising what seems to be motion capture animation frames for every single animation in game.

    Gameplay - 10 - Retains the incredible tense gameplay of the TLOU and expands on it with more verticality and more agility. Enemy AI is perhaps the best I have witnessed in a video game. They will communicate with one another to pinpoint you location so it seems, and they get slightly suspicious when members go missing (by missing I mean strangled) - I tend to go non-lethal wherever possible and yes at sometimes in the game it will force a violent approach on you, which is not a problem but can at times distract from the open-choice the rest of the game has (in a linear way of course). Otherwise this little nit pick is not a deviation from a 10/10 on gameplay side as this is the game. If I could rate out of 100, gameplay would be 96, as such it would be very unfair to give it 90.

    Story - 9/10 (92/100): The story is very good do not let those who want to ruin the game do exactly that for you. Whilst not your conventional bitter sweet and dark themed sequel.... It is brilliant...in a very dark and bitter way.. but there is happiness to be found and I think the theme of the game is consequence of actions taken. Every action has a consequence and this is what happens in the game... at least in a story driven way. It flips the antagonist and protagonist experience on it's head and delivers a very dark formula, but a beautiful one.

    Overall - taking average of all scores is 96/100 and hence giving this game a 9/10 would be unfair.

    To put this is perspective, TLOU was awarded a 95/100 from myself and hence was given a 10, as 9 seemed unfair.

    I implore that Metacritic finds a way to certify you have played the game. As this game is clearly targeted for not letting fans write the story and including a homosexual lead character. So called fans are unhappy because they were too focused on what they want from the story not from what the story is and the journey it explores. It is a story after all, not your story,, Ellies and you need to pick it apart for what it is and not what you wanted the plot points to be. To all of you are review bombing this game simply because you don't agree with homosexuality or the plot points you need to reconsider that it does not make it a terrible game. I found the experience great.

    Having now played through three times. I can say this game is simply beautiful.    … Expand

    I played the through the first 5 hours, I see why a lot of people are mad story wise. But I think it drives Ellie to explore what is like to lose someone and whether revenge is the right thing to do.

    Everyone who is not too lazy to give the game minimum ratings, supposedly for sjw agenda in the game, which is almost not in the game itself. The game has an excellent plot and gameplay, it breaks through emotions during the passage. 90 percent of the people who put it to 0 on this site have not played a game and will never play it. Let's stop this pointless review bombing

    Пишу на русском, ибо переводить мне лень. Короче говоря: игра, которая как минимум способна запускаться, имеет геймплей и сюжет не должна иметь 3.4. На этом у меня все.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hello, all the dear and honorable users of Jouel's death and the events in the game shocked me to a very bad extent.
    But I've always believed in Sony and Nate Dogg's work. Please check the game carefully and don't comment on emotions.
    Because it only makes the enemies of Sony happy, the game had a lot of small points that must be trusted.Personally, I was very saddened by Jouel's death, and I cried for a long time, and I feel sympathy for you and the other bad things that happened, because I myself was severely beaten
    And last but not least, the negatives only hurt the credibility of Nate Dogg and Sony, making them less motivated to make other masterpieces..

    Please don't leave them alone, they have only achieved so much success through you. Please don't stop supporting them.    … 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]
