    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would say the graphics are the only real strong point of the game. The fighting feels dated at this point but some people might be wishing for that system to stay as it is. The problem is with story writing. I have no idea why they would try to make a game with gritty realism when the people that wrote the story feel so incredibly detached from reality. Basic human instincts and principles are broken to keep up an extremely hollow story about issues they have no real concept of. The game succeeds in subverting expectations but in the worst ways possible. If I could go back in time and avoid the game I most definitely would as even in the ending there was nothing else but disappointment. If you are just hoping for a satisfying resolution of the Ellie vs Abby story then just stop playing and save yourself the headache.… Expand

    Very Bad plot, and the innecesary "inclusion" ruins the experience, not recomendable at all

    The first last of us was both a brilliant game and a story. Watching a play through of it on YouTube was the main reason I bought a ps4.

This is GoT season 8 situation all over again. Characters are behaving noting like themselves. Plot holes are in every corner. Noting in the story makes any sense. Writer is obbsosed with trying to teach us a lesson but doing a miserable job of it. This is a dumpster fire of a story. And the story is the main thing that attracted to me to these games in the first place. So graphics and gameplay alone can't cover up my displeasure about it. In the end I'm very sad that I wasted my time with this. And I'm very sad another writer wich has no love or respect for his characters ruined a story for us fans and all other people who worked very hard to create this game.… Expand

    In the end, it doesn't matter if the graphics are a little better, the game play, and mechanics, etc. because the sole story of this crap COMPLETELY ruins the experience.

    Joel didn't deserve this. The FANS didn't deserve this.

    asco de seguimiento , decepcionante lleno de inconsistencias, falta de respeto, una falta general de lógica en la toma de decisiones. A pesar de la posibilidad de experimentar viajes sensatos, realistas y, sobre todo, interesantes con personajes nuevos y recurrentes, los desarrolladores deciden empujar la basura seca en su cara y obligarlo a comerla durante horas. seamos realistas

    Beautiful graphics/animation. Boring, over-the-top gratuitous gore. Unnecessary representation crap bogs down the mood of an already dark story. What was the point of the Joel storyline? Wtf. Absolutely regret spending anything on this one. Stay far, far away from this one. This really makes the case for an ability to 'trade' digital copies.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 7 years. Waiting 7 years fot that. Incredible graphics, ok. Amazing landscapes and atmospheres, ok. Awfully realistic ambients, ok. Good ol' TLoU gameplay and shooting, still the same but ok. All the cool undead monsters, ok. The soundtracks, just wow. But now tell me HOW it is ok to destroy loved characters like that, and to force players to play as a character they HATE (because yes, everyone who has a brain hates Abby). 30 hours (7 years for 30 hours?) of pure pain, fighting Runners, Clickers and so on and so forth, using a detestably character, and while being brainwashed about lesbians and trans and other **** that no one would care about during a freakin Apocalypse. And everything just to wink at LGBTQWandGodknowswhat+ and snowflake's agenda, just to be praised by the media and by the critics... And for everyone who thinks that "the far right is "bombing" TLoU 2", that's complete bull****, it's just that they destroyed their own fan-base with that cringe dlc they call a game. It's not homophobic or transphobic to whish to play a sequel that does not try to denaturalize the main characters... a lost opportunity for a really good game, and that's truly a shame… Expand

    The last of us 1 was a masterpiece but this game is a disaster from start to finish
    Pandering to a snowflake generation I hope other AAA games don’t follow suit
    The storyline a complete mockery to the brilliant story for the 1st game Do not buy this nonsense

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game abondons every value that made the first game and relies on taking advantage of the fanbase it had built up from the first game naught dog has a reputation for making duo adventure stories and last of us 1 revolves around ellie and joel and their journey and their relationship while this game is just a lgbt revenge game that you dont even get to have revenge all you do is for nothing basically gameplay only has few tweaks songs are still good but still cant top off the 1st game's songs and only good thing about this game is atmosphere graphics and enviroment i dont see why anyone that loved the first game would love this especially when joel dies for nothing and you play as half the game as Abby and his **** love triangle with Owen like who the **** cares in a linear STORY DRIVEN game your goal is story but when it is trash so is everything else for me this is biggest dissapointment of the last decade… Expand

    As a massive fan of the original, I've waited for this game for 7 years. The Last of Us Part II is a massive disappointment. The characters are at best forgettable, while many of them being downright awful. The story feels unmemorable in contrast to the first game. The ending feels bleak and pointless. I absolutely adore the first game and so so badly wish that I could have enjoyed the sequel. The graphics are phenomenal but that's really the only positive thing I can say after playing this game.    … Expand

    Although the graphics, sounds, facial animations of the game are believable, they are nothing ground breaking, and are the standard for new triple A games. Combat is sufficient, with very limited options, stealth can be tense, but after the first hour, it is just the same approach with very little creativity.

Combat is sufficient, with very limited options, stealth can be tense, but after the first hour, it is just the same approach with very little creativity.

    However, the story is where this game really struggles; because the story has too many plot holes to be called a story. The original characters you knew from the previous game have completely changed and even go against what you would normally believe they would behave. I understand this game takes place a few years later, but in post apocalyptic world, wouldn't be realistic to their survival. What's more irritating is the constant forced face feeding of the underlying message within this game, which leaves a very sour and bitter taste in your mouth.

    It gets a 1 simply because its a game; participation ribbon. Other games have done what this game has to offer but better, more enjoyable with much better underlying messages.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the last of us 2 has a bad story from the beginning of game play to the anti-climatic ending, and the thing that made me even sad about the game is the way they treated some characters, mostly Joel who was killed in the beginning of the game by a character who was supposed to be our new protagonist Abby, and to have him, a character that i loved in the first game to be killed and replaced by his killer was a horrible decision made by the writer.
    i just wished that politics weren't the focus of the game, there was so many waisted potential in this game and honestly speaking as a fan, its pretty hard to defend it    … 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]
