    I was really divisive whether I should give this game a 1 for its gameplay or 0 for its entirety. But I have decided to give this a 0 anyway so people won't have to waste 25 hours into this pure garbage.
    Most of us kind of having a hunch already that Joel might be dead in this game but apparently they executed it is so poorly and the most insulting thing is that you have to play as stay puft for around 10 hours and they wanted you to care for her. How on earth could the director think of that nonsense? We played the first one and rooted for the relationship of Joel and Ellie and that's the selling point of it. And now they only throw a bit of it here and there and instead they put so much effort to show their political agenda and sacrificing a good story.
    And last but not least, for all of you that wants to keep going with the spoiler. I guarantee you it provides no satisfying ending at all.
    If they want to make a memorable game, then congrats because they have definitely made me memorize one of the biggest scam in a game franchise.
    I will stay away from any future game that you direct, Neil. You don't deserve that title.    … Expand

    6 hours into the game, and i can say, dont listen to some kids that cant afford this game and are seeing some random parts of the game off YouTube and getting but hurt because of LGBT part of the game. It is fantastic, as good as 1st one. It is grim, sometimes too much, but still fantastic. Highly recommend.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game isn’t it. To say that men and homophobes have an issue with this game is insulting and disregards the fact that you have to play the game as a Abby while she wants to kill Ellie. What happened to this game honestly? I’m a woman, and it’s sad that I’ll have to announce that when giving a score to this game to be able to show that MEN aren’t the only ones upset, and I’m not a homophobe. Now that I’ve cleared that up, this story does not compare to TLOU1 and the gameplay doesn’t either when players are forced to play as the antagonist in over 10 hours. The theme for this game is obviously ‘revenge bad’ but still Abby should get away with killing the lead character from the first game without any repercussions? Lmao I can’t do anything else but laugh at this point. I could’ve spent my money on other things and this feels like a waste of time and money to be honest.… Expand

    Amazing Game. Can´t understand the hate. The gameplay is so dynamic and something special. The story is something diffrent and this is what the game does make so perfect. 10 out of 10 really enjoyed the time with the game.

    Just finished The Last of Us Part 2. Here's my 'brief', spoiler free take on it:
    Visually it is the best looking game on the PS4. You can tell the amount of hard work and attention to detail that has gone into making this game look stunning. The lighting in particular is next gen and I truly believe will be a benchmark for other triple A titles to hit.

    Visually it is the best looking game on the PS4. You can tell the amount of hard work and attention to detail that has gone into making this game look stunning. The lighting in particular is next gen and I truly believe will be a benchmark for other triple A titles to hit.
    The soundtrack was noticeably absent for a lot of the game. When it was present it had the familiar feel of the first game, but it was hardly present. there were still some fantastic scenes that were made by the sound and music direction, but they are few and far between.
    Voice acting was on point throughout the entire game. Cannot really fault it.
    The Story! Oh dear lord this is where it gets very tricky. Thematically, it should work very well but it sadly falls flat. Many of the characters introduced in this game I just don't care about. They have somewhat fleshed out stories and history, but sometimes they just feel kind of unnecessary. This is also meant to be a story about revenge and how it can become all consuming, a message that the game constantly throws at you. The problem to this of course is that in game we have no choice but to try and enact our revenge. there is no 'Spare the life' option of any of the human enemies you fight. the only option there is, is to either continue playing the game, and have it try and make you feel bad for the decisions you are making, or stop playing the game altogether.
    The game is also too long. A few times came natural stopping points for the game, a final showdown if you will, but trying to end the game there just gets you the 'game over' animations and throws you to the start of the encounter again. It just feels weird to play through it! I cant go into too many details without posting spoilers, but for a game that heavily relies on the story, this does fall quite short. I think it would have worked better as a 3quel or maybe a couple of separate games as parts of the story are disjointed. Either they had two many ideas and tried to cram them all in or the story was changed late in production as some of it just doesn't quite fit.
    Overall the game is great to play and I couldn't put it down. But that seemed to be in spite of itself at times.

    The Gameplay is average. But the Story of Part 2 is a big f**k you to all the fans of the first game. They literary rape us the entire story and at the end they piss over us too, as a bonus!
    I hope HBO does it better!

    Now, when it comes to the story... It's a very tough experience. The story is cruel, sad and angry. Does that make it bad? No. I still love the story and I love the characters. Each decision made by each character is completely justified and you can understand why they do what they do. Each character gets what they deserve in the end, even if it's not pretty or doesn't seem completely fair at first. If you really think about it, the ending is perfect. Does that mean it's an ending that leaves you with a smile on your face and feeling proud of what you've done? No. Because there's nothing to be proud of when it comes to revenge and violence. But everything the characters have done is completely understandable.

    /* NO SPOILERS AHEAD BUT SOME CHARACTERS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW YET ARE MENTIONED */

    The only reason why I've given this game a 9 instead of a 10 is the way they present the story. I won't say it's confusing because I was never really lost, but it's true that they jump around in the game timeline a lot, and sometimes it's annoying. Also, I feel like there's some characters you don't get attached to (Jesse, Yara and Abby's group) and sometimes the game treats these characters as if they were important somehow. Just because you're with them for a couple of minutes, that doesn't mean you get attached to them. I think they did well with Lev and Abby, but I just couldn't care about the others I mentioned. But it might be just me that needs more time to get attached to characters.

    The rest was amazing. Great experience, makes you question everything you do, and makes you hate some decisions the character make, even if you understand them. This game makes you realize that revenge will only bring more pain and loss.    … Expand

    In fact, my rating should have been about 9. Account for so many bad rating(some might like Joel too much to accept Joel's death, I understood. But it's always called TLOU, not Joel and Ellie), I rate it 10. Surely, if you were not driven crazy by Joel's death, but be patient enough to follow the game's evolusion, you'll find that TLOU2 is absolutely a good story.

    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]
