    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An extraordinary tale of love, Transcending adventure of hate to avenge the one person who have wronged you. Beautiful from both perspective. Gripping survival settings paired with emotional plot which pushes you "player" to your breaking point. Immersive music and sound works which keeps you on edge always. Twist at every corner with tragedy yet perfect in every way possible. To conceive a story as good as The Last of Us part 1 and pushing it even further takes immense focus and teamwork which Naughty dog has produced for us to experience under Neil Druckmann's directorship. People who shun this game are tethered to the character form previous game, which is understandable. I felt the same way but you "everyone" need to see the game through to understand why. Final verdict: The Last of Us part II is magnanimous, Game of the generation and a masterpiece.… Expand

    Sorry but women can have muscles. If you feel the need to give a game a 1 out of 10 because a character is LGBTQ and spew hate, maybe think about what has happened in your life that led you to this point. Zombies scare me and graphics good. 10/10

Joel's death is really hurt, and a game shouldn't take such a complex story, we need time to fighting and garbage collecting etc., damn it is not as good as 10, I do this because there are too many low scores just for anger and hatred, I just hope there will be a part 3. tears...… Expand

    What an amazing achievement this game is. Besides the amazing visuals and improved gameplay, I really appreciated what ND did with the story. I applaud them for trying something different. Yes, it didn't work for everyone. But if it worked for you, it worked big time. The emotional rollercoaster that the game provides is unprecedented.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game isn't a masterpiece:hell i'd hardly call it decent . The only things i can praise about this game are 3 things :The Graphics, the gameplay(for the most parts) and the attention to details. Let's start with the pros of this game . THE GAMEPLAY: The graphics look amazing :these might be some of the best graphics i've ever seen in a game,the ridiculous attention to detail is astonishing .when you're aiming if you wait for a second your character will cock the gun back. the gameplay against the humans is some of the best i've ever played: the AI is excellent in gunplay :using flanking maneuvers, calling out to one another periodically. It's pretty damn fun playing when you get to these parts.Unfortunately i can't say the same for the infected parts : these encounters are extremely lackluster. The game added these zombies called shamblers :they're basically Bloaters that don't one hit kill you and i honestly think they were the were the most annoying zombies ever.Shamblers have these spore bags which emit acidic gas.This gas acts like a poison that you've got to get out of if you want to live.Unfortunately, they take ages to dissapear so if the shamblers throws too many bags you're dead . I would also like to add that the melee aspects just plain suck. It feels like a downgrade from the first game because now it's much harder to actually kill your enemies:even with a bladed weapon like a machete ,it'll take you 3-4 hits to kill one person. Apart from that most of the new things are pretty great :you can attach a supressor on your pistol, weapin modification looks awesome:you actually see your character upgrading the weapon instead of Joel holding down his bag. However the workbench kinda lies to you : in a scripted event ,you'll get attacked while on the workbench. This could've been a good idea to be mindful of your surroundings but the game never does that. Anyways that's pretty much all i have to say about the gameplay :it's decent but pretty terrible in some areas. Now you might be asking yourself if i like the gameplay why is my review only 2 out of 10 and that's because the "gameplay is king" aspect doesn't apply to games like The Last of Us: sure the gameplay has to be fun but the story has to be great . THE STORY: This is probably the worst story i've experienced since Game of Thrones Season 8 .Yeah,it's that bad. The story takes place 5 years after the first game:Ellie and Joel are barely in speaking terms and Ellie has grown up to be very unlikeable.Now the first part of the game is honestly the best part in the entire game. The game opens up with a flashback where Joel tells Tommy what happened in the first game while cleaning a guitar .Joel acts very out of character here.He says with certainty "They were gonna make a cure" even though Joel from the first game was well aware the Fireflies would never have been able. The horseriding back to Jackson is the only time you ever play as Joel so enjoy it while it lasts. After that Joel returns home to Ellie and gives her his guitar promising to teach her .You play a guitar minigame and Joel starts singing to Ellie.After that he puts the guitar down and tells Ellie a bad joke.This scene is probably the best scene in the game ; it captures the charm of the first game with our 2 main characters and actually makes you happy. After that we cut to 4 years later :Ellie wakes up and goes to the bar to hear an apology from someone who called her a dyke for kissing a girl.The guy admits he was at fault,blaiming his bevahior on being drunk .He offers Ellie steak sandwiches but she declnes stating they are "bigot sandwiches" .Now not only is this scene awful it's also **** stupid:who ,in a zombie apocalypse, would care what someone called them ? This isn't modern day America this is a zombie apocalypse where people try to kill each other. After that we control Abby, the new main character, she talks to a guy called Owen about tracking someone .Owen tells Abby it's too risky.Abby responds to that by jumping into infected territory with no plan or backup to find Joel .By pure **** coincidence she does. She,Joel and Tommy escape from the infected by returning to Abby's group. They take care of their horses sdaying they're leaving soon.Then for no **** reason they decide to enter the cabin with all of the armed strangers. Not only that but Tommy tells a group of well armed strangers their location and their names.This makes no sense why would Joel be so lax with trust when in the first game he ran over someone because he knew it was an ambush whilst in this game, Joel stands in the middle of a room with strangers unarmed. they blow off his kneecap and start torturing him to death with a golf club. Ellie finds them and vows vengeance on them.They killed Joel off in extremely moronic ways but guess what? You play for 10 hours as Abby trying to make us sympathise with her .At the end Ellie decides to spare her because she had a flashback of Joel. 2/10… Expand

    With an enthralling story, complex characters, interesting gameplay and gorgeous visuals and audio, The Last of Us Part II is probably one of the most polished videogame experiences out there and it’s pretty easy to give it a great score and call it a day.

    The game's graphics are amazing, and the post apocalyptic immersion is very good. But the story and characters are horrible. In the strife for political correctness the devs destroyed what the first game achieved. This is one of the most disappointing sequel.

    How can anyone who enjoys video games in the slightest play this game and say that it is anything but a masterpiece? This is the most beautiful, brutal, well "acted", story driven game since the original. It is spectacular at every turn.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst stories

    Building a story on the killing of a loved character (the character that the entire first part is built on) and then forcing players to go to certain locations everytime you get to a location then you have to go to another (turned into a traveling game just go and find that person i understand it's not that horrible but when you do it throughout the entire game it becomes really bad) the characters are pointless, isaac only appeard twice while his name was mentioned even more than joel and then simply dies. anyway after a while it gets really boring and then comes the worst twist in video games i have ever seen forcing players to play the villian and forcing them to understand why that happend. That was the worst thing you can think of, every character has a backgroud whether we know it or not and yes life sometimes is unfair as what it did to joel in the first part and no life is not always bad you have your moments of happiness and moments of saddnes just like what happend to joel and what haplend might be reasonble but the outcome was so bad and ellie ended up with nothing. i didn't like abby i understand why she did it but still she killed joel and i will never like her and being forced to play half of the game as abby and to witness her hypocricy, the game developers really tried to get you to like her and that was so obvious with the bad joke and the sudden acts of kindness.

    Also turning abby into joel and lev into ellie was so bad and pathetic they will never replace them and you know that but you decided to do it anyway.

    Lev story is no where near Ellie.
    Ellie was the cure and lev is nothing but a charecter that was forced into the story to make abby an angel.

    Good luck niel drukmann you will know what you did when the third part is relased and the real price will be paid.

    These people who played the first part recently and never realised what joel and ellie meant will buy your bad story but the ones that got the last of us to where it is won't.

    Yes it's your story but it won't mean anything without the people that appreciate it and the real fans did back in 2013.

     those who bought it recently will never give you the hype that was given to you in 2017 to relase this game.

    Also, allow the refunds and then you will realise how great your sales are.

But the story did away with everything that I once loved about this game. The true irony is that this attempt to force a so called progressive narrative has only served to alienate people and push them further away from a wanting a better more progressive future.

I think the biggest criticisms and controversies could've been avoided if naughty dog had changed the formula and allowed for player choice so your story would depend on what you are as a person. Whether you like the story or not definitely depends on your personality and your emotions at the time. However, regardless of if you agree with the character choices this game definitely makes you think about the consequences and the themes explored. It loses a point simply because of the pacing issue near the end.… 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]
