    After seeing all this negative reviews I still decided to buy it on the release date and see for myself. OMG, this game is so good gameplay wise and specially the graphics, presentation.

OMG, this game is so good gameplay wise and specially the graphics, presentation. The story was sad and some parts a little disappointing but that doesn’t matter because the gameplay is what really matters. Breath of the wild’s story suffered by not being as deep as it’s predecessors, but was universally praised for its good gameplay and presentation. It is the same thing here, a very good quality triple A title here so good you will want to play it again once you beat the campaign. There were some slight changes to the gameplay and combat system but not big changes but is okay as the first game mechanics were near perfect so it wasn’t necessary to completely change the combat system. What we got here is a good game that deserves a chance as NaughtyDog keeps doing what it does best a very fun game that really entertains you, as that’s what the video games are in the first place, to have fun. Please play this game is very fun, you might not like where the direction of the story goes but the overall game is what really matters. Stop listening to those haters who negatively reviewed this game and they haven’t even played it or even completed the first five hours of the game. Or didn’t even like the first game in the first place as they suck at it from the beginning. If you like the challenge in a game and using your head often this game is for you, you won’t be disappointed. This is a masterpiece that will be talked forever as one of the most controversial games in this decade. Worth the wait.… Expand

    Vi prego di giocarlo, vi prego di vivere quelle emozioni, quei sentimenti di odio, di sofferenza e smarrimento, questo gioco è la "malinconia" trasmutata in arte, non per questo merita di essere tacciata come spazzatura, abbiate il coraggio di essere tristi

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got to play the game early and I'm not impressed. Gameplay is improved, soundtrack and graphics are great but the story and characters? Two hours in and was deeply disappointed already. I got to the ending and It's crap. Stupid decisions made by smart characters and shoehorning characters into the story that didn't even matter in the first game. Too many things feel forced and it ruins the enjoyment. 7 years for a let down.

    You expect me to play as some random girl put into the story because of some random NPC after doing what she did? Also in TLOU1 it was a completely different NPC looking guy. No thanks. You also expect me to fight a main character of the last game and leave her in a pool of blood? Are you insane? Terrible writing. Abby gets kidnapped and weakened. Ellie doesn't even get her revenge correctly and it's completely out of character. She helps them escape. The last thing she could've done to even make a TINY redemption to the game is kill Lev and Abby. No we don't even get that. We get something out of character. They escape.

    This is at best a fanfiction. Will be returning this title. The leaks saved people money. I'm telling you to save your money too. In short, a poor story of constant revenge that has NO meaning and insults the whole fanbase. Biggest let down of the GENERATION. At least on the brightside the moments of Ellie and Joel are good and the gameplay but anything with Abby isn't worth jack.    … Expand

    il gioco mi é sembrato stupendo con giri di trama e colpi di scena.
    I personaggi sono stati creati con anima per farci inmergere nella storia. Per la grafica e il gameplay uno dei migliori giochi per l'attuale generazione

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be clear, I don't want people to jump to conclusions about the reasons for the review bombing. Most of us don't care that the lead is female, nor that she's gay. The reason is that the story, writing and dialogue is awful. As someone who played and loved the first game, I was left dumbfounded how the everyone from the first game felt so out of character. After their stupid decisions gets Joel killed, the story devolves into this bland revenge plot, with the moral being 'revenge is bad'. And the story is all this game has, as the gameplay is nearly unchanged from the original despite it being released a whole console generation later. If this game wasn't a sequel to this beloved game, I would give it a mediocre 5/10, which makes it sting even more: a continuation of one of the best tales in video games is just mediocre. That is just painful.… Expand

    To co zrobili z Joelem, a i jak poprowadzona została po tym fabuła przekracza ludzkie pojęcie. Chyba pozazdrościli twórcom "gry o tron". Pokazali, że da się zepsuć coś epickiego bardziej jak zrobili to nawet twórcy GoT w 8 sezonie.

    But, as a story driven game, i dont see where is the story. This has to be one of the worst video games in terms of story and plot. It is like a big middle finger to the first game and it is a waste of 60 dollars. Fan score matters, not "Game Journalists" so we naughty dog fans declare TLOU2 as a trash game

    i gave it a 1 because you can play it as a retard without paying attention to the story and get some "fun" out of it.    … Expand

The Last of Us 2 at times with it’s graphical presentation and ultra smooth control can be awe inspiring. The attention to detail that was so evident with the first returns in some of it’s sprawling environments. Naughty Dog should be commended for that. Character models are top notch and the sound is the type of quality you expect from Naugthy Dog. Where the game falters is in its story telling, pacing and the overall direction of its character development. There is not one like able character to be had in this story. Everyone even the main character of Ellie is portrayed as being wholly monsters and for some of the previous characters who were established and beloved in part one they make choices that are counter to everything we know them to be. Many choices taken by them serve to only push the next plot point forward regardless if its something they actually would have done which is a huge no-no when it comes to writing well thought out character development. Quite Frankly the handling of the legacy characters of this franchise leaves much to be desired and thats my main take away. The last of Us 2 leaves a lasting feeling of leaving to much to be desired, things you felt never should have happened to or with the majority of its cast. Where as the first game had little rays of hope and light in this game there exist none. Its one bleak depressing slog from start to finish. Playing as the games new co protagonist Abby was one of my personal worst experiences in gaming after some of the egregious acts she partakes in. The continued forcing to switch to her really hurt my overall gaming experience. I simply did not like this character for her actions and there was nothing that could make me like her after what she does. She came across as the games clear cut villain and it was never going to go over well with the majority of gamers to be forced to play with her in this game. She will go down as one of the most polarizing hated characters in gaming history. Overall The Last of Us 2 outstanding presentation, accessibility, and character design can not make up for such a poorly executed story. I wanted to love this game as much as I did the first but I just generally had one of the worst game experiences of my gaming lifetime.… Expand

    This is the disappointment of the year. Сompletely dead, stupid plot. I really hope that the game industry will stop getting people who don't understand a damn thing, who spoil games from the inside.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We waited 7 years for this **** story. We wanted something that continues along the storyline and mood of the first one. We loved the last of us so much because of Joel And the amazing relationship he had with Ellie. And they took that away from us. A badass caring father figure like Joel taken away so fast. They did not respect his character and did him dirty. Also the game seems quite slow. A lot of walking and more of a movie than a game so far.… Expand

    The insertion of peak 2016 identity politics and 'rian johnsoning' of the story dissolve any credibility with this project. Complete with a bleak and dull story and weak subversion of sarkesian proportions that make this an absolute pantomime performance. Nice graphics. Massively unlikeable characters.

    should have made a straight to TV movie instead.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If u liked the first game u will hate this game. Joel dies in the first hour of the game u play 50% of the game as Abby the person who killed Joel. Joel the character we all love die a slow slow and painful death from a golf club. Ellie try revenge Joel the ending is just silly. The ending is that u finally get Abby and u have the opportunity kill the person who killed Joel and not only Joel almost all people u cared and what u do u let this person go. Yes u let the person who take away everything u had everything u love and u keep only this person alive all people who helped Abby are dead but u keep Abby alive. Also Abby bit off 2 of your fingers at the end of the game so that Ellie can't even play her Guitar anymore the only thing she cared about because this guitar is from Joel so Abby take away all happiness Ellie had but Abby can live a happy life now why? Also the gameplay isn't so much better than part 1 and part 1 had a simple mediocre gameplay. So yeah I would give TLOU part 1 a 7/10 and part 2 a 0/10 because the story and characters the things what made TLOU so special are bad awfully written in part 2.… 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]
