    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is very bad..People feel sad not because of Joel's death but the whole game is forcing people accept the conception of forgiving. if it's a drama or a movie, it would be better, i am somebody watching the character making their decision. I may not agree but i accept that's their choice. but it's a game. I play the characters. I feel like i was made to do the killing I don't want and to forgive someone i don't want to. That's the huge problem for me. Basically, I really want to kill Abby. period.… Expand

People need to understand that fairy tale situations and endings don't happen in a post apocalyptic world thats overrun with multiple forms of infected running around and relentless factions. Naughty Dog took some serious risks with the story narrative and I personally feel they did an incredible job. People will get killed off… Expand

    This is trash!
    Graphics - Great
    Story - Trash!
    Character - Trash!
    Gameplay - Nothing new
    7 years of developments, lol
    How much did you pay for 10/10?
    "I truly hope Naughty Dog lets this franchise die in the pit they dug for it".

Good job, you got that... but did you achieve a good, satisfying experience? Nope. Just throw the whole first game out the window, along with the character development… Expand

    Neil Druckmann has single-handedly destroyed this series, this studio, and has polarized the video game community the likes the industry has never seen. This is like if the Rise of Skywalker and the last season of Game of Thrones had a threesome with Heavy Rain on a night out of spiked tequila. The result is a game created by a man with a narcissistic personality disorder, coupled withNeil Druckmann has single-handedly destroyed this series, this studio, and has polarized the video game community the likes the industry has never seen. This is like if the Rise of Skywalker and the last season of Game of Thrones had a threesome with Heavy Rain on a night out of spiked tequila. The result is a game created by a man with a narcissistic personality disorder, coupled with authoritarian tendencies with an insular world view who disregards any constructive criticism that is aimed to improve and give feedback to what is "just another video game".

    Any normal and avid movie fan can analyse this story and see the gaping plot holes that exist within the character arcs, the stories narrative, it offers ZERO cohesion from the last game, the narrative ideas and tropes are taken straight from Quentin Tarrantino's works (speaks for the originality of the lead writer). There is no levity or nothing really that the fans have been dying to find out, nothing original from the first game, just a tone deaf piece of work from Neil Druckman who said, and I quote "We don't use the word Fun": a walking simulator with sleepy cutscenes in between tackily placed, repetitive gameplay and artificial game lengtheners resounds with his philosophy.

    This game is not in any way a masterpiece, to characterize it that way would do a disservice to the meaning of the word itself. It is an "Okay" story, with overused ideas, executed in a disappointingly disorganized way.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll give it a 2/10 and that’s me being generous. Yes, the visuals and gameplay is solid, what’s expected from Naughty Dog with what they have on their backs (Uncharted franchise) Some parts of the story is solid too, the flashbacks of Ellie and Joel are heartwarming and heartbreaking as well. Now that I got the positive out of the way, the game is overall garbage. How is the developer going to kill a beloved and meaningful character in such a sad and distasteful way? Joel dying part of the story? Okay. But at least make it memorable, poetic, or heroic. Don’t just kill him off by pinning him down and having no hopes of survival. Story plot fail to deliver completely. Imagine you’re gonna go watch a spider man movie or a captain America movie and right from the start they kill them off? That’s exactly what occurred here. Now with that out of the way, okay Joel died now what? They could’ve made the story continue with having Ellie and Tommy go on the adventure in avenging https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/the-last-of-us-part-ii/user-reviews?dist=negativeJoel’s death and that could’ve been a solid storyline but NOOOOOO the creators had to ruin it even more by making us play the killer. I get what they tried to do but THEY FAILED AT DOING SO. HOW CAN YOU HAVE SYMPATHY FOR A CHARACTER WHO NEVER DEMONSTRATED REMORSE OR REGRET THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE GAME? Naughty Dog has failed all of us who fell in love with these characters. Nothing but disappointments with this game. Rest assure, I’ll be skeptical in purchasing another one of your games. Treat your employees with respect Naughty Dog, this goes for you too Neil.… Expand

    A terrible way to handle a sequel poor history and character development. Forced SJW/LGTB character insertion/development, it felt like a bad Netflix adaptation. Graphics and textures were nice. Controls felt off, bad QA the game had several bugs.

    I found the game very good! and although many say that the gameplay is bad and the story too, I didn't think so. Incredible ambience and even with the non-linear story format is perfectly understandable. The outcome of the story is not for everyone, because, in my opinion, it requires the player to understand very well the message that the game wants to bring.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed this game and for me its truely a masterpiece.
    Gameplay: It liked it, if you played the first game you instantely feel "at home" playing the 2. Part. And they even improved it. Dodging is a major improvement and makes close combat a lot more agil and rewarding.
    Sound/Music: No need to say anything its just as perfect as in the 1. part.
    Visuals/Graphics: This game really is the most beautiful game on PS4 right now. All the indirect lighting, all the little details everywhere in this world, they really let you feel how much work and love was put into making this game.
    Story: It is controversial but its different and thats what i like about it. Its not the normal boring revenge story its hard, its heartbreaking and thats excactly what it should be and wants to show. Revenge, hate and violence is useless and only creates more revenge,hate and violence. It destroys you, your life and a lot of people around you that you love. I liked that you play the game from both perspective even though a lot of people hate that about the game. But just think about nature documentaries... if you watch a documentary about lions you want the lion to catch and kill the zebra, but if you watch a documentary about zebras you really want that zebra to escape the lions attack and continue living. Its all a matter of perspective and there is not just black or white with that...there are a lot of grey layers inbetween and somehow people kinda forget and ignore that. If you are open minded about what the story want to tell you and really engage with the story you wont be disappointed. I probably felt every emotion playing that game (anger, love, hate, sadness, emptyness, wholesome moments etc.). It really is a rollercoaster, but i loved it.    … Expand

The tale in this universe is continued in a controversial manner and to enjoy it, that can only be decided by 1 person yourself. The games story is not an easy one to take in. Its not supposed to be it. Whether you enjoyed the game or strongly disliked it, it manages to do what any truly brilliant game should and that is to leave u thinking and questioning what has happened and the emotions that you have experienced. If you finish the game and you do not feel like your emotions have been put on a rollercoaster, then unfortunately you've probably missed the point or cannot confront the feelings you have experienced. However the choice is never up to you and what happens is the story that naughty dog wanted to tell, and I personally that it was brilliant it has left me thinking about it 24/7. Do not let negative or hateful reviews of the game spoil your experience go into it with a open mind and really just play and experience what is occurring and challenge yourself to understand what is being portrayed. After all we all play games for the experience and especially these story driven games to come out at the end with a new feeling and perspective.

    I'm so proud of naughty dog for what they have achieved in this game and the fact that they were willing to go above and beyond the norms of video games and they have truely paved the way for the future. I cannot wait to see what this studio has got coming next as well as all the studios and people who have been influenced by this game come up with!    … 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]
