    A very neat story that expands on the political and philosophical reflections introduced in the 1st game, adding depth and nuance to them.

    The game suffers from pacing issues and the repetitiveness of its main gameplay loop

    Einses der besten, wenn nicht sogar das beste Spiel auf der PS4. Jeder der es nicht spielt hat etwas verpasst. Auch wenn über die Story viel negatives berichtet wird, so ist sie doch die beste die es jemals gab. Ein Spiel welches so mit den Gefühlen spielt gab es noch nie. Selbst Tage nach dem Finale denke ich über dieses Spiel nach und wird auch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Danke NaughtyEinses der besten, wenn nicht sogar das beste Spiel auf der PS4.

    The game has good gameplay, graphics and details. However, it has the worst story and ending in any video game, and even in source of entertainment media.
    If you loved anything about part 1, this game destroyed entirely.

    If you get easily offended or butthurt over character deaths, question character choices and perspectives, this game ain't for you snowflake. If you like the first game, loved the gameplay, and can handle dark stories, strap in.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved this game and I think Naughty Dog should be at least commended for trying out something quite different and more risky than most other story-driven games in recent times. I can definitely see why some people aren't happy with the direction that this game went, especially since it begins with the death of a beloved character, but don't dismiss it as "bad writing" just because your favorite character dies - the world of this game is unforgiving and relentless. Beyond that, I'm glad that this game isn't just a cut-and-dry revenge story. On the surface, this game seems like it's completely centered around hate, but I feel like the game is more a cautionary tale of obsession and the importance of forgiveness and letting go of the past, and I respect this more nuanced take that the studio had decided to go with. Yes, it would've been satisfying to have killed Abby at the end, but that would have undermined the entire point of the game: that revenge won't undo the deeds of the past, and that the best way to deal with loss is not to dwell on it but to move on. Besides the story, this has some of the best music, acting and graphics of any PlayStation game to date. The gameplay's pretty smooth and it's solid as a stealth/action game. However, my biggest gripe with the game is probably through it's pacing - Ellie's first 3 days in Seattle I'm okay with, but Abby's part (especially day 1) felt like it was dragging on a little bit since it was jarring how all the momentum that had built up to the conclusion of Ellie's day 3 was just suddenly lost. Otherwise, this is a great, emotional journey that I would recommend any Last of Us 1 fan to at least experience with an open mind. Regarding the hate for the game, there is definitely some valid criticism, but I wouldn't blindly base my opinion on the game based on story beats without any context or based on what other people online say about it. And that goes for both sides.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, I had a lot of fun playing through the campaign, I enjoyed the gameplay and the detail that was put into the game, but unfortunately I don't know how to feel about the end of the story as it left me with a lot of conflicted emotions that I can't seem to understand. I do believe it is a good game, but many things hold it back at times, Abby is not a character anyone wants to see in a game as she serves no purpose other than for story, it is very difficult to relate to her becuase the way she went about things didn't seem to be fair. The game had a lot of potential, but unfortunately it didn't reach the same level of greatness as the first game.… Expand

Give it 1 week and buy it for $5 game basket at Walmart. The graphics were great don’t get me wrong, the story however was god awful. I get killing Joel randomly to show that he wasn’t a god, but to have Ellie turn the other cheek after killing hundreds of people after she gets a chance for revenge? Terribly and sloppy writing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first game and I was expecting a great story to continue the saga. Unfortunately this is not the case. Don't get me wrong, the game has its great moments, tension, suspense, horror and lost if action. The decision to get rid of one of the main characters so early in the game I believe is wrong. Anyway is enjoyable and a little bit too long but is still solid game, graphics are amazing. I don't understand the hate from conservative people regarding the "agenda" that Naughty dog would be implementing or taking part of? Some people are gay, get over it folks.… Expand

    Get woke, go broke. Game contains a representation of gay and trans characters, which is good in it's own right, but it's what a majority of players do not want.

    The game is almost a complete waste of money the good bits graphics and music (by now most games should be topping 8 or 9 for music scores). The bad bits game-play hasn’t moved on in 7 years, the amount of time where you don’t really do much and the story which is more like fan fiction. Thank god I borrowed it rather then paid for it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was so excited for this game, even with all the leaks; but I managed to ignore the leaks.... i wish I hadn't. I would have saved eighty bucks and a load of disappointment. Unlike the first game, this one made very little sense. I have no complaints about the gameplay; it built on the first one very well. I loved the parts with Ellie, Joel, Dina, Jesse.... but aside from that? Everything was a dumpster fire. Let's starts with the big one: Joel's death. I was not surprised by his death or upset about the gore, even though I questioned the logic of having Joel, a man who can sense an ambush from a mile away, mindlessly falling into Abby's simple minded trap. But I can live with that; no, what I don't understand is the structure of this. They try to make us hate Abby by having her brutally kill Joel, they have Ellie slaughter hundreds of people to get our revenge, and then....not take her revenge because of a brief memory of Joel? If they wanted us to want to forgo revenge, they had to do better than that.

    And then after making us hate Abby, they try to make us sympathetic by forcing us to play as her and making hamfisted attempts to get us to sympathize with her. Sorry, Abby, I don't care that your dad is dead, because the game didn't me care about him! I don't care that you lost him because I don't care about you. If they wanted this narrative to be successful, the structure should have been overhauled-- things should have started from Abby's perspective so we grew to love and sympathize with her loss and plight. We should have had with her at the beginning, a taste of what we had in the first tlou with Ellie and Joel. But she has no development, and we're expected to feel terrible for her. Sorry, I don't. There's no bond between Abby and the player, and over the course of her narrative, all you can think of is how **** forced everything feels, and how desperate naughty dog is to get you to like her, like an ugly guy at prom. They give her cooler weapons , they make her nice to dogs, they make you watch a yak-inducing sex scene, they make her basically be Joel with less self awareness and endless amounts of unacknowledged hypocrisy. They make Ellie out of character so that you sympathize with her less--insulting Dina and calling her a burden--kicking a dog's corpse and saying 'stupid dogs'. The first reaction I can understand because of stress, but the second? What the **** were you thinking, ND? She straight up wouldn't do that, and your attempts to villainous her are idiotic.

    This game gets a 1 instead of a zero because I loved the gameplay....but I'm so unbelievably disappointed i waited seven years for this nonsensical narrative.    … Expand

Although he isn’t a hero but still hard to kill him. I don’t think that it is make any sense he been kill so easily. The last of us should be a story about Joel and Ellie. What they walk though together. Their choices and humanity. If you want to change the main character. Please, have us some signal and story to support the change. I don’t want to say any things about the politics or discrimination in this game. I am sure lot of person say it already. I am just a guy who want to play a game that it is suitable and comfortable.… 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]
