    Graphics and combat were great.... The beginning of the story was good but... i truly hated the Abby part and the Ending is just ..... BAD.

    Besides the graphics & gameplay this game is not worth the money & surely not worth your time. If you were a fan of the first game there are bits and pieces of ellie & joel fan service sprinkled out throughout the story , besides this I can't think of any other redeeming qualities that would make this game worth anybody's time.

    The controls were a bit clunky but the mechanics overall are decent. My issue is with the story and characters itself.

Gameplay wise, stacks up to first.

    Beautiful graphics and the sound engineers did an good job bring that chilling clicking sound that I loved in the first game. But sadly, this game is more sit, watch and listen to what the developers message of ‘story’ is. Characters are tossed away like small trash and you feel forced to continue since what you can about is teased in doses. Lackluster and honestly disappointed in the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just horrible, sure the gameplay and graphics is tollerable for a 2020 triple A game. But the story just walks the entire franchise off a cliff. Joel's death especially. Myself and literally the entire fan base was fine with Joel dying. However, the way they killed him off was the most disturbing and dumbest way to kill of a MAIN character. Had zero affect on the story and Naughty Dog literally treated him like a naughty dog (pun intended). You can tell the writers tried extraordinarily to like Abby and sympathise with her. Although, that is quite difficult to do considering she literally killed a fan favourite at the beginning of the game. Naughty Dog had the right intentions in painting the antagonists with a good light but it just utterly failed during the execution. This game obviously had a ton of high hopes considering the first game. But, it's sub-par controls and gameplay for a triple A game. It's terrible story where you have no choice but to play as abby THE ONE WHO KILLED JOEL, not only that you have to try and feel sorry for this abby during the rest of the game. I went into this game knowing the spoiler, i was prepared. But even that couldn't stop the onslaught of thoughts going through my head while major things happened. I kept on thinking to myself, "How the **** does that make sense" or "They really messed up the story". I was feeling more pity for those who loved the original and our now playing the sequel compared to actually liking the game. In one last sentence, this game is a hard pass for me.… Expand

    Huge disappointment. TLOU was loved for its script and the beauty of the characters. It was the characters who created the story, not the other way around. Unfortunately in TLOU2, we have a horrible and incoherent story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 7 years from the masterpiece that was The Last of Us, we get the sequel to a very loved game. It would seem impossible to think of this game flopping due to everything established in the first game and the excitement of the news of a sequel. But somehow it was worse than I could ever imagine.

    The tragedy that sets the whole story into motion is also a great betrayal of beloved characters on the part of Naughty Dog. The problem with this scene is not that Joel dies but the manner of how he dies and possibly when this takes place in the story. Joel in the TLoU was always cautious and hardly trusting of anyone. Joel even drove into a stranger on the road pretending he was injured because he knew what they were planning from prior experience of doing the same thing. Knowing the danger of people, Joel and Tommy decide to risk their lives to save a stranger with infected storming in to then tell Abby where they live and what their real names are without finding the motives of this stranger first? With the rising pressure of the infected, they decide to flee to the friends of Abby who are hiding in there neck of the woods and probably shouldn't even be there with no cause for concern with what that could mean. Not to mention the game just started and just before you even get your feet wet into the game Joel dies to a nobody in such a dry way just for shock value. This whole scene felt so forced and ingenuine of their characters that I didn't want to keep watching after this all played out.

    The second half of the game was very boring as I couldn't care less for Abby or any of Abby's friends. ND forces you to play as Abby just so they can impress upon you that Abby was justified with the actions that unfolded throughout the game. I never bought into this idea and never will. Also, don't get me started with the unbearable sex scene that came out of nowhere.

    What seemed to be the ending(s) of the game which I thought ever time it faded to black was more disturbing than what they did to Joel. Between the ideology being shoved down our throats the whole game to the cycle of revenge never taking place which was broken as Ellie let her go, I realized this game was a giant waste of my time.

    The only good things I can take away from the game are the amazing graphics, superb voice acting, and the flashbacks to Joel and Ellie that looking back now should have been the entire game.    … Expand

    I thought it fell so short. Gameplay was expansive but long, but the graphics were incredible. However, I loved the first game for the story and this story is just not good. I'm saddened by it and I'm sad to leave this review but it missed. Hoping that better things come out of this

I paid 60$ to play as a nobody for half-game. lazy plot writing. **** dog **** storyline. I mean, wtf I just play? Why the f do I need to play as Abby to beat Ellie? So many plot holes. We just went from A to B with Ellie and back from B to A with Abby? 60$? really?
    Gameplay? Laggy, 30 fps drop, Invisible execution, invisible ladder, stuck dead screen, glitches bugs everywhere. I wait 7 years, 7 YEARS for this? you should be ashamed of yourself Naughty Dog    … Expand

    1. Visually stunning, scenes, environment, sound, all good. That's where it ends.
    2. Clunky controls, jump button is an absolute joke.
    3. Don't even get me started with the lazy and absurd, lousy 30-hour time-filler. That's not a story. The ending literally proves its meaningless.
    4. Destroying iconic characters the entire fan base loves in a disrespectful way and spitting in our faces was absolutely ridiculous.
    5. Nothing else changed. New characters and 'gameplay' were boring after the first 10 hours.

    This is such a shame. This game was supposed to make quarantine a little bearable.
    Instead, we've got a game that makes you hate yourself during the whole playthrough. I don't want to play something that forces me to watch all my loved characters suffer or become some sort of a monster. And all of this while shoving their agenda down my throat to use as a shield later and say "Only bigots    This is such a shame. This game was supposed to make quarantine a little bearable.

    The gameplay is really the same, which wasn't cutting edge even back in 2013 and now it's just straight-up boring. The violence levels are absurd, which is weird coming from a person who was giggling like a small child while playing Doom Eternal recently. I'm really sorry, but as a person who had to put down his dog, I don't want to play a game that forces me to kill one while watching her suffering and then make rub it in my face and make me feel like an ****
    And the sex scene... One of the dumbest and most disgusting sex scenes I've seen on screens. Great job with "not sexualizing" women.
    The only upside is the graphics, which are gorgeous. The animations are top-notch as well.
    This game should have been great, but it really sucks what it turned out to be. And it really sucks for all those developers and artists and Naughty Dog, because you can see how much work was put in it and how many crunches they had to go through. But unfortunately, this game is ruined by bleak, horrible characters and even worse plot, that was written with a whole purpose of taking everything you loved about the first part, ripping it in pieces, and setting it on fire together with your house.    … 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]
