    The graphics and gameplay are amazing, The story, huh, I didn't play first part of TLOU till few days before of the release of the second part, because i didn't have the chance and i'm also a PC player, I'll say the first is one of the best story-telling game i've ever played (and i played a lot of games in my 10 years old "career" of gaming) And the second, huh, i'll say they just wrappedThe graphics and gameplay are amazing, The story, huh, I didn't play first part of TLOU till few days before of the release of the second part, because i didn't have the chance and i'm also a PC player, I'll say the first is one of the best story-telling game i've ever played (and i played a lot of games in my 10 years old "career" of gaming) And the second, huh, i'll say they just wrapped it up just right.

    An absolutely horrible story. Horrible writing that depends on way too many plot contrivances to be taken seriously. The characters are laughably stupid... walking into a room full of armed strangers, leaving a map behind that the enemy can use to find you, ambushing your enemy from behind with a stick of wood rather than just shooting them in the back, etc etc. Also the Abby characterAn absolutely horrible story.

I cannot begin to describe how hideous she is, and the game forces you to play as her(him?) for ten hours. It's such a shame to see what they did to these characters after the greatness of the first game. VERY disappointed.… Expand

    Graphics is very good, the gameplay is the same as the first game with slightly improve character action like crouching, the story is the main issue. It is very bad writing.

    + Amazing Graphics
    + Good Gameplay, but dated
    - HORRIBLE STORY that disrespects beloved characters from the 1st game & ruins the entire experience!
    This game is proof that not everything needs a sequel, should have just stopped after the 1st game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: The Story (Read the bulk of the review below)
    Insanely detailed and immersive graphics
    Great set pieces
    Superb performances by the cast

    Cons: Poor, slow pacing at times
    Combat/gameplay is as repetitive as the original and can get tedious in certain parts

    Story breakdown (SPOILERS AHEAD)

    This game is an absolute masterpiece in exploring morality and the cost of vengeance. Ellie's journey to avenge Joel after his brutal death at the hands of Abby plays out like your typical revenge tale for the first 1/3 of the game, with her mowing down enemy after enemy, alongside a diverse cast of supporting characters. Right as the game reaches what is typically the climax in a revenge narrative, Naughty Dog throws you a curve ball and forces you to play the next 1/3 of the game as Joel's killer!

    At first, I was as upset as everyone else (I spent many minutes throwing Abby off cliffs and relished her death animations). However, from playing through her back story and watching her interactions with her friends and family, I worked through my initial indignation, and came to understand where Abby was coming from, and why she set out to kill Joel. Abby's portion of the game has multiple moments that are direct mirrors to Ellie's portion of the game, down to the love triangles including pregnant women. By forcing you to play as Abby, Naughty Dog is forcing you to empathize with her character and asking you why is it okay for Ellie to get revenge for her father figure but not okay for Abby to get revenge for her actual, biological father?

    The final 1/3 of the game is the most polarizing, as Ellie does act somewhat illogically in continuing to pursue her revenge, thereby abandoning her newfound family. This all comes to a head in a vicious final fight with Abby that left me physically uncomfortable. When the dust settles, Ellie is as broken as the player is by her actions. The ending feels anticlimactic and disappointing, but in selecting this finale, Naughty Dog is suggesting a John-Wickian revenge never ends as one would expect.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awful continuation of what was regarded as one of the greatest story telling games of all time. A major disrespect to what a lot of people considered a father figure. A major cliff dive with the ending. Last of Us didn’t need a sequel and definitely did not deserve the way the franchise was treated in the sequel. RIP Joel, a father figure to many for the last 7 years. Way to ruin a good thing Neil.… Expand

    Game play is fun, and sometimes been scared by the zombies (monsters) when it suddenly jump out in front of me. Story is interesting but the only downside is the story line has too much tragedy. Make gamers always feel anxiety and moody. The story itself is rich but naughty dog put too much negative elements inside it. Gamers never get a happy ending in the game.

    I give 8/10 because 2 points deduct for the unhealthy practice of this game story line. I guess the producers of this game got mental disorder such as anxiety disorder. You should go to see a psychologist to give you some professional counseling. Everything should think positive.    … 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]
