    Don't believe the critic reviews. Bought and paid for or too scared to go against Sony. Golfing plotline aside, the combat is updated but everything is sub par when compared to the first one. Save your money.

    The story is trash, the character development is really bad, the gameplay is boring. Everything about it is trash except for the visuals. The rest is garbage. Naughty Dog ruined the The Last of Us.

    The graphics are really good and detailed, the gameplay isn't that groundbreaking, the story absolutely sucks, lacks charm, the new character has both a boring personality and background. While this kind of story may be something new in the videogame world, it's not when you compare it with movies or books.

    Sony can buy ALL the game magazines, but can`t buy honest players.
    So take the zero, hold it and enjoy your lesbian drama.

    The game dissapointed me fast. At first it all looks good and familiar but the story turns fast into a blur of unrealistic plotholes. There is a big lack of connecting with the characters and the gameplay is a little outdated, same goes for the poor AI.

    The Last of Us 1 was awesome, The last of US 2 is a dumpster fire stay away unless you love bad stories, shoehorning the player to play certain charters in a certain way.

    It's bad and there is no way around it, you will regret it and wish you never bought it. I did!

    Seriously Naughty Dog ?
    Holy sh*** the story was so god awful. The graphics and gameplay are very clean and beautiful but the story man...
    This game is pure exemple of what not to do for a sequel and destroying all character development from the previous game.

    Игра одна сплошная повесточка. Разрабы это поняли и заранее позаботились что бы до выхода игры уже были оценки у изданий 10/10, что уже намекало что с игрой что-то не так.
    Увы, но хорошая часть игры потерялась, вторая часть просто плывет на лодке.    Игра одна сплошная повесточка. Разрабы это поняли и заранее позаботились что бы до выхода игры уже были оценки у изданий 10/10, что уже намекало что с игрой что-то не так.

    Wow where to start. If the first game never happened I may of rated this better. But the lack of player choice in this game is overwhelming. They will make you play the game the way they want and you have no say in it at all. It’s more like playing through a teenage soap opera. So disappointing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK the game in game play,Visual and Soundtrack are amazing. BUT the story is pathetic how you can kill one of the most important character in just two hours after starting the game and apart from the way he dies, it is not even organically there were too many ways to write his death but they went for the most foolish and irrational, literally sent to trash everything they created in the first game. And that story of revenge is the main basis of the game is absurd since when Naughty dog ​​became DC… Expand

    The last jedi of games :/ the expectations they set from the trailer was so misleading. It's disingenuous to blame the backlash on bigots and haters when they did the last jedi of games. The reviewers slanting the scores to he'll and back did this game no favors.

    I have no problem with the gameplay of TLOU 2 being largely unchanged from the first game, I felt like it served it's purpose in the original to help propel the story and the narrative and get the player from point to point. Where I do have a huge problem is when that gameplay leads you from awful narrative point to awful narrative point.

Where I do have a huge problem is when that gameplay leads you from awful narrative point to awful narrative point. Do not play this game if you appreciated the first game. This game somehow proves every single person right that said the first game did not need a continuation of its story. They clearly had no plans for this game until Sony dumped the money truck on the studio and said make another. Characters from the original game make decisions that they would never make based on everything we know about them and the game has more holes in the plot than a golf course.

    You don't owe Sony or Naughty Dog any of your money or your time just because you liked the first game (I loved it). Save your money. Send a message. Don't be a sheep to a corporation. We all should have known we were in trouble when the studio director tweeted out that The Last Jedi was an amazing movie.    … Expand

    Story / Characters The story is written very poorly and doesn’t make sense most of the time at all. The characters act in ways that don’t make sense and it makes everything feel contrived.

    Graphics and cutscenes are visually impressive, but the story and the ending makes everything meaningless and pointless and some things are done just for shock value with no substance or value.    … 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]
