    A hard pill to swallow, but this game is extremely disappointing, no matter how good the game looks, or how well it plays if the story fails then the game fails because the story is what made its predecessor one of the games of a Decade, whereas this is just hollow

    Terrible story. But it is not just a bad story it is bad, very bad because of the political agenda forced in this game. Sorry but games like TLoUS without a good story, they just bad action games.

    Really wanted to rate this game higher, but after finishing the game all i'm left with is a bad feeling that sticks, and for anyone looking to play the game I say this: if you have a depression I would advise you to reconsider as it might just make it worse.

    This game is a disrespect to the fans of the first one. While the graphics and gameplay are great, the main selling point of the first one was its story and the relation between the two main characters. They managed to ruin everything in this one.

The game feels, looks, sounds and plays like the culmination of everything that the studio has produced before it, and is easily one of the most detailed, balanced and mature story-driven adventure titles of the generation. But phew, it sure is ex-haust-ing.

    The Last of Us Part II takes place 5 years after the events of the original game, with Ellie, Joel and a number of survivors settling down to a relatively peaceful existence in Jackson, Wyoming. The infected are still out there… and there is still no cure or vaccine, nor is there much information regarding the possibility of one. The endgame sequence of the original The Last of Us sort of made sure of that — for those who maybe didn’t play through Part I.    … Expand

    I was very excited about this. I can not even put it in my words. My hype did continue even though I was unfortunately exposed to the leaks. I knew there will be a devastating scene where our beloved Joel would be murdered brutally. Even though knowing this, I was eager to play the game. I believed that the professional scriptwriting team knew what they are doing.
    The first problem about    I was very excited about this. I can not even put it in my words. My hype did continue even though I was unfortunately exposed to the leaks. I knew there will be a devastating scene where our beloved Joel would be murdered brutally. Even though knowing this, I was eager to play the game. I believed that the professional scriptwriting team knew what they are doing.
    The first problem about the game is it starts as a really slow game and paces up by not rushing it. However this was not a problem for me and probably for the fans of the first game, at least that is what I thought since we waited for 7 years to get our hands on this game and the slow build-up is a foreseeable part for a great story. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Don't get me wrong here, the game is top-notch in terms of graphics, sounds and combat mechanics. I can not even think if these great features were flourished with a unique and touching story. I see and congratulate the brave ideology about making the hated protagonist as the second part of the game. However, it just did not work for me and probably for most of the fans.
    For example, one of the best sequences in the game was the Sky Bridge and the Hotel part for me. The design was just perfect. However, the reasoning and the fact that you were playing the unfavored protagonist made it a very ordinary episode.
    There was an immense effort to make us empathize with Abby. Underlining her likable bits so strongly made it a very hard thing to adapt. Trying to achieve the same emotional response similar to the first game with the relationship between Abby and Lev, even though they tried it very hard, the problem was there was no reasoning under it. This made it very hard to buy it even though I wanted to.
    The final sequence was just a mess. I understand the morals they are trying so hard to shove at our faces, however, for that, I can go and watch a random movie or tv series that does it a hundred times better. It was highly unnecessary and just very sad.
    One last thing to mention is false advertising. I know that they have a right to do this but seriously? I believe this should be a serious point which should be criticized as abusing their fans trust.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have not finished it yet. In fact I restarted it after it did a weird thing where all the enemies were stood still and, when I snuck up on them. I did this Scarecrow thing behind them. But I am loving it. I also read some of the user scores reviews on metacritic. Pretty much all of them were put up on the day of release. Meaning most of them instead of playing the game were probably sat at their PC waiting to put a negative on it after seeing the spoilers haha.

    All these reviews about how bad the story and, the ending are. All posted on the day of release. Just means that none of them actually played the game. Yes Joel dies. It's all to move the story on. Yes its upsetting but have none of you watched the walking dead?    … Expand

    Not only is this game a misery simulator, but it has moments of catharsis peppered throughout so that the misery hits harder whenever it comes along.

Controls are not responsive, and the audio mixing is very unpolished, the VA’s seem insistent on muttering every other line, even after shootouts. The story is preachy despite how simple it is, and at every turn you are reminded of the disgusting director who doesn’t seem capable of keeping himself outside of the project. There could not be a bigger slap in the face to all the fans who bought this game on good faith than the first and last hours of the story, the mind boggles at the idea of this getting greenlit. Whatever Niel Druckmann, Naughty Dog and Sony were hoping to achieve with this title, I hope it was worth it. All three have been tainted in my eyes, and any representation they were striving for has backfired significantly. This game is a net negative, not because it is all bad, but because I can see the good parts of this game being held back by everything else and that’s even worse.… Expand

Good gameplay and nice sound however the story is a huge letdown and a spit to the face, the characters are very bland and the story is not good and they try to make you sympathy with your murder which is beyond silly.

    Initially, with the amount of controversy around the release of this game, I thought that I perhaps made a mistake in buying it. Well within 10 minutes of playing I knew I had made the right choice, I didn't watch any of the leaks, despite having some spoilers posted on every social media platform, I unfortunately saw a few.

Well within 10 minutes of playing I knew I had made the right choice, I didn't watch any of the leaks, despite having some spoilers posted on every social media platform, I unfortunately saw a few. The way the story unfolded in this game was absolutely masterful! I had so much anger at the start of the game, then it went through and tugged at every other emotion. I can honestly say that very few games can come close to what Naughty Dog have done. As always, the music was beautifully done and the graphics are unparalleled.

    Do yourself a major favour, stop listening to the people who haven't played it, and start listening to those who have. This game is a definite candidate for game of the year, and it is very deserving of that title.

    Thanks again Naughty Dog for an amazing journey!    … 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]
