    Excellent gameplay, crappy story (nothing make sense specially if you played the first one) and destruction of characters just because they want to add "that" ideology that is destroying a lot of entertainments lately, I am officially an ex-fan, a shame

    Im about 3 hours into it so far and I really like this game as you really get into it enjoy the realism. But its too linier and follow the path as i like more freedom. Story is a bit confusing but game is fun and really like it.

    I’ve basically dropped everything else to play this game over the past few days - and with 30+ hours in, I JUST beat it - so it’s fair to say that out of the 75,000+ reviews, most of them probably haven’t completed the game.

    People will try and tell you if you dislike the game you are a bigot or anti-lgbt. They will dismiss any complaints about the story line as illegitimate. The game puts unneeded focus on a new character that most people will just not care about and the game doesn't really give us any reason to care for.

Найбільша проблема - сюжет, якщо в технічному плані гра чудова, а геймплейні механіки значно поліпшені відносно першої частини, то через сюжет грати просто нудно і не цікаво, а грати за Еббі взагалі гидко, їй не співчуваєш і взагалі бажаєш для неї швидшої гибелі, але гра не дає вибору, дякую що сценаристам не прийшло в голову передати гравцеві керування коли вона практично відстрелила Джоелю ногу, а потім лупила його клюшкою для гольфу. В Сіетлі, коли почалась історія Еббі я подумав, що це займе максимально 30 хвилин, треба перетерпіти, але це було не 30 хвилин і навіть не 5 годин, це була половина гри де клята Еббі є головним персонажем...

    Great, real violence, fear, shock to the point I had never experienced before in any other game.
    It was one of the best games I've ever experienced, both in terms of gaming and technical graphics, and of course the storytelling, the game's music, which was a perfect masterpiece.Only in every way I had a problem with the end of the game, it could have had a much better and better ending

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I finished The Last of Us Part 2 last night. It's is a game full of symbolism and metaphor. Full of brutality and violence. Full of pain and sorrow. Full of hopelessness and bleakness. And it's utterly brilliant for it. It is a pure example of games as art. It reminds us to enjoy what we have and remember what we have lost. It's beautiful, terrifying, immersive and haunting. And is one of the best games I have ever played.… Expand

    The feelings and expectations of the fans of the first part were simply destroyed! This game is a big disappointment. Inadequate plot and disgusting characters. There are characters for whom there is no desire to play! This is disastrous for a story-driven adventure game!

Joel’s death serves as the dark reality with which The Last of Us is set. I don’t think the story is quite as good as the first one but it’s still very good. The game is smooth and graphics are fantastic.… Expand

    Graphics & audio is also top notch. Environments are a joy to explore. Everything seems consistent but not same. There’s a top of rooms you can miss, and many of them are really well designed. You feel like you’re discovering something new all the time.

    Gameplay? No evolution. Graphics? Amazing. Stunning, really. The story and game framework was awful. I guess they just got lucky last time with their character development.

Once again though normal aiming is not working for naughty dog. Thankfully there's an aim lock option not activated by default which allows for a smoother experience not broken by trying to aim at fast moving characters. The violence on display is basically worse than rockstar's manhunt -- without all the controversy. So strangely this time it's acceptable. It's also quite fun to off all of these entitled snob kids in the game. As far as the story goes.. about 15 hours in it's engaging with lots of strong moments and in the end it will give you a good lesson for all the poor video game npcs you murdered throughout your gaming years. Granted you will have killed a few hundreds more throughout the story.… Expand

    Amazing and most beautiful level design .. that I have seen in a while! Story is very brutal at times but great all in all. Gameplay is unique and refreshing ... since it is not about killing enemies all the time. There are moments when you do puzzles and some of them with unique mechanics. Overall one of the best games ever!

    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]
