    Dated gameplay with boring characters and an awful story. Waiting 7 years for such a botched game is heart breaking. The only thing going for this game is the hard work in the environments. Horrible story.

    Awfully forced minority agenda, just awful, don't play this, if they want to give the game to you as a gift, just take it and re sell it on gamestop's.

More on the stealthy end than a survival, item managing one. Game always makes sure you'll end up with enough stuff in your pocket to deal with the various situations (mostly a team of bandits) and if everything fails you can just cqc them. Elimination isnt' always key, though. What hurts this direction are scripted events where enemies just won't die until something happens. It couldn't scream louder "hey kids, it's just a game!". We had that in TLOU1 too but today in our time it just destroys the illusion of an actual living world behind the screen. And speaking of kids, if you play the game, they should be sleeping. TLOU2 is brutal. And not the fun, DOOM way of brutal. It's miserable. People scream their lungs out if they die and our charakter looks often like a complete "nonstabil person" covered thick in blood which could make your stomach turn. Grafics, soundtrack and atmosphere are superb. 30FPS aren't a problem cause the frame rate never breaks in. What isn't superb though is the convoluted story. The elephant in the room. And I'm not talking about the "controversy", where you just role your eyes for a moment and move on. No the story is not working on a basic level. "Last Jedi Luke throws his Lightsaber away" kind of not working. In a franchise that is story driven this effects everything and it simply destroys. Even its own message. What also hurts is the constant back and forth via playable flashbacks but in the light of the non working plot this comes off rather as an inconvenience. It's 25 to 35h long depending of your playstyle but the last 10h or so you just want to get over with it cause of all the plot nonsense happening. Last time I felt that depressed and hollow was probably The Evil Within 2. Which I never ever touched against since. There we are now.… Expand

    Garbage Game filled with political, left-wing Propaganda. and LGBTQ+ Agenda. Isn't worth your money, spend it on other, better games. It's not a good shooter, there are better games. It's a GARBAGE, illogical Story full of plotholes, you're gonna find a better story in literally every other game. Graphics is nice, but is that really why you would buy this game?

    If you want a game that you can hate, make fun of (because of clunky mechanics and stupid A.I. too) and if you want to abandon everything the 1st part stood for to swing a rainbow flag and **** over your beloved Joel and Ellie, buy this.

    This completely raises the bar for gaming as a whole. Naughty Dog has thrown down the gauntlet and set a whole new standard of artisanship, story writing, world building, detail, and animation. Gameplay takes TLOU into a whole new universe while expanding on the energy that made the first game so immersive. Now it’s up to every other gaming studio to try and keep up...

About the only good part of the whole experience is the amazing graphics and semi decent combat, that's it. The story is such garbage and terrible writing that it just ruins everything the first game set up so well. Joel and Ellie's story deserved so much more than what Naughty Dog did with this. I did not have a single once of fun playing this game, It is depression incarnate. All leading up to one of the worst endings in a game I have every seen before. This game is hollow, Naughty Dog is a former shell of what a great company they used to be giving us titles like Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter and Uncharted, but this, this is just vile. All to further their progressive pushing feminist sjw loving agenda. Do not support this steaming pile of **** that they call a game. If they would have took this and made a different game all together that would have been much better, but no they completely ruined the legacy of the first game.… Expand

    The graphics are amazing, the controls are smooth, it’s incredibly cinematic, and it fills the player with intense emotion as they play as Ellie seeking vengeance. What more could you ask for from an amazing first game and a 7 year wait! Overall the game is enjoyable in both its play style and story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First I'll start with the pros. The graphics are amazing there is no denying that. And the gameplay while being nothing special is still pretty good, if you like the gameplay of TLoU 1 you will like 2. But aside from a few other superficial positives that's about it. The cons on the other hand are devastating, I get what they were going for with their anti-revenge narrative but they completely counteract that by having you mercilessly kill dozens of people to find Abby without a second thought only to say violence is bad when you find Abby herself. In the end the point comes across more as it's okay to kill all of the people around the person who wronged you or a loved one, but that person themselves is off limits. Because of this ending the player is left unsatisfied as nothing was ever really accomplished during the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So 1/10 to be VERY generous, and here's why. With Minor Spoiler in what I say. Also, I quite frankly pity those ppl that spent Hundreds of dollars on the huge box, because I'll be honest Naughty Dogs ripped of us on this game.

    First off I'm beyond pissed at Naughty Dogs to have spoiled the entire storyline in the very second trailer of the game about a year ago. Other than the 2 trailers I steered clear of all and any LoU2 info to make sure that nothing would be spoiled, and yet within 1 hr of play I knew the entire story...

    Second I go nothing of what was promised to me. For more than half the game have to play as Abby, a person that the devs are trying to make "human" or endearing towards the player, while I couldn't give 2 **** about her, just because of the brutality and unfair justification that her "target" "got what he deserved, altho he deserved more..." Who gives a **** about her... and then, to add insult to injury, the devs want to me to kill Ellie using Abby. A R E T H E Y O U T O F T H E I R F U C K I N G M I N D S !!!!!!

    Also (and it's hilarious even in the synopsis here it still says so) the story happens 4 years AFTER Salt Lake City, NOT 5. The game itself hammers that point home very often and from the very get-go of the story.

    I loved the first game, and Ellie was a big part of it, the only issue I had with the first game was, that I didn't play long enough as Ellie. That's why I was sooooooo excited when this one was announced, "Yay I'll play the whole game as Ellie" I thought to myself... And then, I start the game, I'm Joel, then Ellie for like 5 min, then I'm Abby for longer than I was on Ellie, then Ellie again for a few dozen mins, then Abby again for as long as I was on Ellie... And by that point, I knew the entire plot... Nothing unknown left to discover, some plot-based questions raised by the story development that I'm trying to piece together and unravel, nothing like that, just a big ol' "yeah Abby and her friends are those ppl that are looking for this guy to kill him, and he we got to avenge him..."

    Another minor thing, Ellie felt different in this one. It felt to me like she lost some of her sassiness and spunk that she had in the first game, 2 elements that are among the reasons I fell in love in with her in the first place.

    The pacing of the story is also abysmal. Especially when you are forced to play as someone you don't even want to play, then the amount of flashback for both Ellie and Abby makes it worst. And the ending.. OMFHG! Worst possible ending. I hope this game soooo many negative reviews and bombs (in a negative way) so much that Naughty dogs NEVER wants to announce a 3rd title... because its the only obvious possible reason for THAT specific ending they gave us. Its even more open-ended or sequel oriented ended than Horizon Zero Dawn ever was.

    And to think that the announcement of this title is the only reason I bought a ps4 for... what a waste of money...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For a story and character driven video game, this game does not do justice to characters of the original game. The characters are dumbed down and the story is nowhere near logical, we play the entire game on a revenge spree where the game forces us to kill several human characters and by the end teaches us to refrain from violence, like it never occurred to us before. Hideo Kojima gave us a lesson of not using violence in MGS 3 Snake Eater and that worked way better than here because that game never forced us to murder people. The gameplay is nearly the same as its predecessor. 3/10 for only for Ellie singing Take on Me, that was freaking beautiful.… Expand

I’ve never been one to comment or do a review but the last of us 2 has taken a a piece of me away in ways I can’t explain. How can you honestly make us go through majority of the game as Abby after what she did in front of our eyes/Ellie’s eyes? It felt like naughty dog is making a mockery of what made the first game such a gem and throwing everything that mattered away. I was just sad everytime i saw Ellie and Joel because it kept reminding me of what I lost and what they gave me instead. This is just a shame...a real shame.… 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]
