    Absolute perfection. The developers paid attention to every detail and wrote an amazing story. This game is the confluence of great graphics, fun gameplay, and an exciting story. They improved on the previous game while staying true to it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What to say, after 7 years from the release of the first chapter of this series we have been able to attend a worthy following.
    The journey that we are called to undertake will make us feel on our skin all the emotions that the protagoinists will experience, their mood, their sufferings, and their cold blood in carrying out certain actions. What about excellent animations, certainly superior to those of the first chapter, excellent artificial intelligence, infected enemies who better use their hearing that will identify us even at the slightest noise. The atmosphere created in the rooms is of the highest level, with great play of light and shadow. The only thing that made my nose turn up are the various time swaps between past and present which tend to make the player's narration and understanding confusing.    … Expand

    A 20 hour long generic revenge story that doesn't even have the decency to let you get said revenge which you have been working towards for the last 20 hours worth of game play. Completely unsatisfying. As well as an obvious LGBT influence which only feels forced.

    A sequel should do two things: 1. Expand the plot to recapture the magic that drew audiences to the original, and 2. Improve the technical aspects of the game to compete with modern standards.

Improve the technical aspects of the game to compete with modern standards. The Last of Us 2 does neither of these things. As you have likely read, the plot eliminates the heart and soul of its source material in the first 2 hours of the game. They replace this character with lifeless, sterile stand-ins who do nothing but fill time so the player can claim they technically saw a story take place. As far as the technical aspects, the game is scarcely an improvement to the original. The graphics are updated and the combat has some new features and items, but it plays more like an expansion with mods than a standalone game. The writing in this game represents a disturbing trend in modern gaming. Similar to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, we are seeing more and more studios abandon the source material in almost overt attempts to subvert audience expectations for its own sake. It is the writing equivalent of clickbait. Innovation is welcome, but subversion for its own sake is childish and demonstrates only contempt for source materials rather than passion. The dev team can be quoted as saying they intentionally made story and art decisions they believed would be the opposite of what players would want. Ask yourself, do you want to play a game that developers designed to be frustrating and unsatisfying?

    Think of what you could do with $60. You could buy groceries, buy your significant other a nice gift, spend it on yourself for a day off, put it in savings, or invest it. Naughty Dog's answer to "why do we deserve your money?" is: because we will make your main character gay, make the antagonist a muscular woman, and add trans-people. Bravo, Druckmann. This is not activism. This is pandering. Learn the difference, Naughty Dog.

    The only redeeming aspect of this game is the effort put into it by the programmers. 2/10    … Expand

If you want the gaming industry to survive (I am dead serious) keep your money for something that is actually worth it and skip this abomination.… Expand

    The game is not so terrible it really isn't, sure some things in the story just don't seem to add up but I guess I can forgive that. The issues however are many and I will try to explain.

    Graphics: yes they seem nice especially the outside visuals of landscapes but faces at times seem utterly weird and not in keeping with the rest of the game. When I see people say the graphics are 10/10 i just laugh because there are some really poor ones.

    Gameplay: It is I am afraid to say quite dated in the way it works but the worst thing is the jump system which seems to fail for no reason and they even include a easy jump version in the controls. This should tell you that they knew it was bad but decided to do nothing about that.
    The game had some very boring parts in my humble opinion and just seemed to be there to stretch the game out.

    Sound: Very nice and I cant say too much negative about it

    All in all not a bad game but a disappointment none the less, If ND wanted to make a political statement they should have done so via twitter because some of this stuff does not need to be in games. Woke culture is bleeding into too much stuff these days. The way ND and Sony handled the leak was terrible but that does not effect my score at all.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good, it tells us that revenge is a dirty act after which you are left with nothing! Ellie was also left without two fingers, without Dina and without Tommy ... In this game, a wonderful atmosphere of music, wonderful localization, locations and so on. But the plot leaves much to be desired ... The plot is twisted and in some places it is not clear, to these moments the questions are asked "Why it was shown and why" Here's an example of a scene where Abby and Owen make love, the question "WHY?" Why did the Naughty Gog show this scene and why? What did they want to influence us with this scene? I'm not saying now that Abby has a terrible figure, but guys! Each one has her own and not for you to decide! Someone was lucky with a figure, someone not! In general, the game is good, but I give her 4.5 points.… Expand

    Must play for any fan of the first one. One of the best games I've ever played. Character development is just incredible. The game really puts you in the shoes of the characters you're playing, making you bond with them as the story progresses. I really loved the new mechanics introduced in this game, as well as some of the old ones that have been transferred into it. An absolute masterpiece

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never have i ever had to write a review about a game i have not finished myself, i tryed to stomach the game but i rly couldnt do it after i had to chase Ellie down with Abby, i decided to look for the end on the internet to help me get the emotional courage to push through it and reach that closure but what i found out is that there is no closure. The game was said to not be for everyone and i agree but the problem is that if u have played the first game i dont think u will be able to enjoy the second one.
    How NG tought it would be able to make u like Abby as a character is beyond belief and just show how amateur they were about this game. But then again it can be that NG rly didnt want that and trully just wanted to give u a bitter game experience with no fun and only pain, when i play a game i do it to feel better be it because its fun, hearth warming, interesting or any other reason that can leave me smiling after a game session and even if i get frustrated after i lose i can just try again and win. With the last of us 2 there is no wining, only rage.
    Play it if u havent played the first one or u just dont have the emotional bound with the first one's characters otherwise i recommend u play the first one again and forget about the part 2.    … Expand

    it's a shame they decided to use the new game as a vehicle for spreading the globalist political agenda. but at least with all those 100/100 reviews, it exposed the system 1 more time

    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]
