    Worst story ever. Naughty dog just killed all they joy on this game. Graphics are awesome but the writing and story are crapp. It's like the whole writing team made a career suicide.

For those that played it and didn't like it, I also understand but please don't spoil the game for others or try to get this game so much heat. It's not a game for everything and extremely divisive but in my opinion still a great game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II isn't a bad game. But it isn't brilliant. The first 12 hours as Ellie were perfect. I was an emotional mess, even having to take a break when Joel died. But I loved it. I loved how well the emotion was being delivered and I loved revisiting this world and the characters of Ellie and Joel. The relationship between those two characters was such a huge element of the first game and it continued through the flashbacks in this game.

    So it felt like a slap in the face when I was handed control of Abby in Seattle. I know it's not uncommon to play a character you aren't too fond of in a video game, but this felt like the wrong game to do that. Her gameplay was insufferable. I just lost interest as soon as I realised how long I was going to play her. There was such a strong attachment to Joel and Ellie taken from the first game, so you didn't even want to give the person who ruined their dynamic a chance.

    On a more positive note however, Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker's performances were incredible and the museum scene was absolutely beautiful.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to begin with this game...I avoided the rumors, ignored all the copyright abuse of sony for so much as breathing about this game. I wanted to believe Naughty Dog would deliver as they did for the first game. BOY was I wrong: the only thing they did (like the first game) made it look nice. This is a BEAUTIFUL game. The problem is the story and characters. Whoever wrote them needs to be fired and blacklisted because what I was forced to endure was The Last Jedi levels of terrible story writing and character assassination.

    Joel, the way they send off this amazing character is disgusting. We're forced to play a disgusting and terrible woman after we watch her BEAT Joel's head in with a golf club and Naughty Dog expects us to LIKE HER!? She is fundamentally an evil character, every time I played her I purposely let her die because I found it humors against this character who had done nothing to make me like her. Seven years of waiting for this game and all we're rewarded with is Abby practicing her golf stroke on Joel's head!

    The entire game there is nothing to make her endearing, nothing to make her sympathetic or understandable, and at the end when Ellie, who until now has carved a bloody path to get to this disgusting character, has her hands around her neck choking her...she lets her go...WHAT!? The person who KILLED Joel, your father figure, after you carved a bloody path to get to her and you LET HER GO!?

    I don't care about the 'Revenge is bad' dumb message, this is an insult to Joel, Ellie, and all the loyal fans who waited nearly 7 years for this game, only for Sony and Neil to slap us in the face and tell us we better like their **** or else we're every name in the book companies call us when we don't like the message they're trying to force down our throat.

    1/10. The Last of Us stood out thanks to its amazing story and beautiful graphics. This game only has graphics and a pice of **** story that will be forever remembered for being absolute garbage. I hope it was worth it Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    Everyone who is not too lazy to give the game minimum ratings, supposedly for sjw agenda in the game, which is almost not in the game itself. The game has an excellent plot and gameplay, it breaks through emotions during the passage. 90 percent of the people who put it to 0 on this site have not played a game and will never play it. Let's stop this pointless review bombing

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst game I've played in the last decade. I was a huge fan of the first game, and played it on release in 2013 on the PS3. I've played the remastered version on the PS4 13 times on record, and it remains one of my favourite games of all time.

    This game seems to undo everything that made the first game so great. I felt misled by ths trailers, as we actually end up playing 70% of the game as Abby and not Ellie. A character Naughty Dog forces us to play as, and one of the most unlikeable characters in the history of media. Seriously, this character is horribly written and there's nothing to like. No, she's not transgender like many people would have you believe but she is not built like any real female so this makes her even more unbelievable. She does horrible things to characters we care about, and they force us to do some of these awful things as this she-hulk like character to the point I nearly stopped playing. It's that bad. The graphics are gorgeous, but that's it really. The gameplay is similar to the first, so it's good fun, but when you don't care about the story or character you're playing as it just doesn't work. I hated all 21 hours of this game (not the 30-35 advertised), have now deleted it and will not re-install. Very disappointed with this after a long 7 year wait. Booked time off work, and upgraded to a PS4 pro console for nothing.    … Expand

    The script sucks.
    I didn't like the story in general.
    It's about an agenda.. not a regular game story.
    There's no relevant connection to the first one.
    Unfortunatelly a lot of Youtubers are lie about this game.. I don't know why.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game. People are just butt hurt they killed Joel. He had to die. He did something bad, whatever good reason he had, he did something bad, and killed a lot of people. The game does a great job showing you the consequences of his actions and how not everything if black and white. Ellie and Joel are NOT good people entirely (Joel sacrificed humanity for Ellie, Ellie killed a pregnant woman). But, the main bad guys of the story aren’t also entirely evil, nor good. We’re showed the WLF as this bad faction and militarized thing and bad all around but then you get to see their society and how your actions also affect “REAL” people’s lives. Everyone has their reasons, and good reasons, to do the things they did. Joel killed Abby’s dad for Ellie, and Abby had every right to kill Joel. And Ellie has her right to be angry and vengeful but that doesn’t make her a good person, no one is. This is great story telling. You play both sides and it is compelling. I was mad when I got to play as Abby again because I love Joel, but then I got why that happen. Again, great storytelling, great art style, great gameplay (drags on a little by the end, but because I wanted no get to the end so badly and know that happens), great graphics and technical achievements, etc. Truly a masterpiece. Not perfect, but it achieved everything it set out to made.… Expand

    I have put 40 hours in this game, i have platinumed it to completion and fully finished it twice. The game is incredible, it does better then the first in every way. Game play is fun and exciting, story is gripping and emotional, acting is amazing. Graphics are beautiful and screenshot worthy. This game deserves to be recognised as one of the greats along with every other naughty dog game

    this game **** all over itself, killing the protagonist who literally took out an entire army to save a girl.
    Not to mention that the whole story is meaningless since they could have based it on something better.

    The graphics are absolutely beautiful and the game has astonishing images, but the story is just stupid and terrible.

    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]
