    Great game with a solid story, but lacks the pacing and focus of the original. The first game knew when to step off the gas and give the player a breather where this one has just one speed; full. Well worth a play. Storywise it wanders off its vengeance theme a little too often to really hit the mark as well as the original, but a strong cast of new characters makes it enjoyable nonetheless.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a game that has had me torn since beating the game last night. Naughty Dog has done a remarkable job with the amount of attention to detail to its world and characters. The Last of Us Part II's Story is the hardest part for me personally to review. The things that had happened in the story where essential to the development of the game and to its characters. Joel was my favourite character in The Last of Us and honestly even though he had died I felt like this was a good fresh concept and that his death was essential. Naughty dog loves to show of the reality and beauty of our world but also be realistic with the situations that ellie and abby are thrown into. The major thing that I had dislkied about this game was when Naughty dog forces you to play as Abby for basically an entire half of the game. The first half of the game i genuinely enjoyed and playing as Ellie was a fun time. However the second half of the game, you are forced to play as Abby for around 10 hours just to see how some events unfold. This honestly infuriated me because I was never thinking about Abby's character, all I cared about was Ellie and Joels story being told. I understand that Naughty Dog thpught that this was necessary but honestly I wouldve been ok with a 5 minute flashback about this girls backtory or even make it 10 minutes. Naughty dog tries to make the player be sympathetic towards Abby but I probably did not have any sympathy until she finds her friends all dead, the confrontation mission and the last fight against Abby and Eliie in Santa Barbara. Abby honesty was a terrible character to play as and it just felt like Naughty Dog was just trying to make you feel something for her over a 10 hour period. There was one question that I was constantly asking myself while I was playing as Abby "Why am I playing as her when I am supposed to kill her and hate her, isnt she the main villain?"Like I dont want to play as the character that killed my favourite character. There honestly was some terrible decisions in the game dont get me wrong. But overall you cannot deny the endless hard work that the Naughty Dog team had done with this game. To give Naughty Dog credit they tried something new that they thought would actually be realistic. For a survial zombie game I thought that it was such a fun game and the gameplay was well thought out. The mechanics were great and I was super stressed out because I was playing on Survivor. I was constantly on the run and it felt like I couldnt breathe because of the intensity. The situations that Ellie is thrown into are super intense but that is what makes The Last of Us special. Overall The Last of Us Part II has many great qualities and many negatives. I would give the Gameplay of the last of us Part II a 8 and the story a 5. All of the Joel and ellie parts of the story were well done but as you played as Abby you dont really sympathize and care about her at all. The Gameplay was amazing and nice and smooth. It constantly felt like you where in the story and that everything was connected… Expand

    Thought ND would have screwed up with my feelings with this game. I was right, but I'm glad they made me pass so many times from loathe to let's consider it "happiness" and vice versa.
    The game has not to be played and completed way too fast or you'll end up seriously destroyed, but what I'm sure is ND did the best thing ever.

    Just no. I don't want to play as a psychopathic steroid buffed, unsymapthetically flawed character for half the game. Completed it, I regret my purchase.

    Garbage game is garbage. Also this website is garbage indexing falsely and reviewing falsely. Misrepresenting reviews in order to make this look better. You should just close the site down.

    This game is a masterpiece, it might be the best I've ever played. Reading through all of the negative reviews--posted long before the people in question could possibly have finished or event gotten very far into the game--it's clear that many were simply looking for a nostalgia trip with the characters from the first game rather than an engaging story that stands on its own merits andThis game is a masterpiece, it might be the best I've ever played.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found the last of us part 2 to be quite a rollar coaster of emotion's. I felt as if the character's were really well voiced by their respective voice actors. I found the gameplay fun and intuitive. Some mechanics were less so, but all in all a fun game to play.

    The ending may have been pretty lack luster and left a sense of desirability. But the main story I found to be quite enjoyable.    … Expand

    Everything you want from the modern game. Amazing visuals, amazing story telling, gameplay that is unrivalled in intensity and fluidity, a plot line that has you guessing and gripped until the very end. I’ve been waiting 7 years for this and it has been worth the wait. Avoid spoilers if you can and play this game through with a fresh untainted outlook.

    So I am a huge fan of the original and absolutely loved the sequel. The main complaints I have read so far have LGBT issues. If you are a homophobe and didnt play the prequel then this maybe not for you. Also maybe try developing some tolerance its 2020 you bigot.

    Next poor writing. Having someone close to the protagonist get killed is a weak way to trigger a revenge fuelled massacre...    So I am a huge fan of the original and absolutely loved the sequel.

    Next poor writing. Having someone close to the protagonist get killed is a weak way to trigger a revenge fuelled massacre... isnt it the only way? Literally a post apocalyptic world where people kill each other and people are crying over what to me was a very expected.

    Enough about the hate.

    Graphically its amazing, great visuals and smooth textures. Controls a lot smoother than the first one and the combat feels a lot more fluid.

    Thr story is very well done, its heart breaking and heart warming all at in one. It creates drama and tension, makes you worry for the characters and even challenge your beliefs about well established characters. It is one of the most humanising games I have seen and really shows the effect of the characters choices.

    All I can say is go in with an open mind, it is different from the first but not in a bad way. This deserved a 10 and naughty dog deserves more praise than its getting. Sadly in todays world people cant think laterally and when something doesnt go their way they jump on their keyboard and slam the hard work that was put in rather than trying to understand the message of the game.    … Expand

    This game excels in every area.
    The gameplay, the score, the environment, the depth, all are fantastic. I think the story is what the game will be remembered for and with this the Last of Us 2 sets a new standard for stories in gaming.
    Everyone at Naughty Dog can be proud of this achievement, a true demonstration of a team who are at the pinnacle of their craft.

    10/10 A masterpiece.

    2 only for good graphic. I cant see this sjw stuff anymore. You dont understand, that you turn people with this propaganda AGAINST it. I dont care who has sex with man or women, its private thing, but why you rape me with stuff like this on TV, internet, games, Movies etc. It hurts my feelings. Dont buy this, and dont support propaganda. Game was made only for this. Sad.

    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]
