    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game absolutely tarnishes everything the previous one stood for. They absolutely spit on the legacy of their series, their fans, and their beloved characters. Joel, the most untrusting, cunning, and cautious person, allows a bunch of **** goons to sneak up on him, then proceeds to allow them to kill him with a **** golf club without fighting back whatsoever. Then Ellie, a girl who's murdered entire villages, does not avenge his death after going through absolute hell to get the chance to, and allows the **** character which is Abby to get away. It's like the writers were on crack when they wrote their beloved franchise into the ground. Don't buy this game, just watch a playthrough of it and see the look of disgusting on the face of the poor soul who's taking a bullet for you by playing the game for you.… Expand

    It is truly bizarre how mediocre writing for this game is. It is almost impossible to believe it is from the same guys who brought us the first TLOU. Gameplay is still boring though. I wish I could get a refund.

    Ruined a legacy. The DLC from the first one is more enjoyable as a whole than this.

    Although the game is a sequel to Last of Us, it denies its previous game and pretends to be serious but has no depth in the story.
    Naughty Dog needs to know the difference between what others don't do something though they know it and what can't do something because they don't know it.

    Also, the story may be the biggest reason for the game to be criticized, but that's not the only problem.
    Gameplay is the same without improvement.
    The smooth movement shown in "E3 2018 Trailer" is rarely seen.
    The only development I can see in this game is graphics.

    Of course, except for the story, it is true that it is still an excellent game, but I don't think it has a special game play like 'Doom series' that makes it fun without thinking.
    Like the previous game, the most important thing for this game was the story. And the story ruined everything.
    The best part of the previous game was that it allowed players to naturally immerse themselves in the story. But this time, there is nothing like that, only a cheap displeasure.

    I don't know what part of the game critics worship as a masterpiece.
    Game critics seem to have snobbery.    … Expand

    I've never felt so angry and disgusted about a game before. The graphics and music are breathtaking, and that makes me even angrier about Neil Druckmann, because he ruined what could have been one of the best games of all time and a great IP.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is actually an 8/10 for me but I'm afraid I have to give it a 10/10 to offset the butthurt fans who review bombed the game as soon as it came out, even though at that point it would've been impossible to have completed the entire game at that time.

    This game really works and goes in directions that most video games or movies will never do, and for that unique experience Naughty Dog has to be commended. The story is beautiful and harrowing and dark and not only lucidly conveys the theme of 'violence begets violence' and 'the vicious cycle of vengeance', but also what reality is like in this horrific post-apocalyptic world.

    A few hours into the game, Joel is brutally murdered and this is one of the main reasons people are hating this game, because the death was so shocking and displeasing...but that was the whole point. The palpable heartbreak we feel at watching Joel die reflects how Ellie's heart is broken too, and initially that allows us to justify her mission of vengeance. The argument that Joel 'deserved' a better death is extremely childish--in a bleak reality as this, death is commonplace, it is a terrible way to live. Joel dying in some predictable and rosy fashion (e.g. like Iron Man in Endgame) would have been far more disrespectful to the game. But also it's more than that. As the story progresses, Ellie's vengeance gets more brutal and more bloody and by the end of Day 3 in Seattle, we are left not in an agreeable position with her. However, the opposite occurs with Abby's three days in Seattle, as it's shown how she is a foil to Ellie and in many ways they are the same, and though initially it is jarring to play as the previously perceived 'antagonist' of the game, by the end of Abby's three days in Seattle, you end up seeing her more as a protagonist, whereas at the end of Ellie's three days, you see her more as the antagonist. Therefore, when you have to fight against Ellie, playing as Abby, when you return to present day, it works in the narrative.

    The story moments don't always hit, but Naughty Dog illustrate how violence will only ever lead to more violence and how vengeance will corrupt even the best of people (Ellie). The final fight on the beach, Abby doesn't want to fight anymore, as she has made peace with her vengeance, but she is coerced to fight as Ellie threatens Levi's life. Showing once again how Ellie has now become the antagonist and corrupted with hate. Abby is now the protagonist, a reversal you never expect when Abby kills Joel. When Ellie spares Abby is finally when the vicious cycle of vengeance that started with Joel killing Abby's father is finally broken.

    The narrative isn't as good as the first game, however, it is worth experiencing none the less. People should be more open to mature content, and instead of expecting Joel to have some predictable send off similar to Iron Man's death in Avengers Endgame, realise that being subjected to darker and bleaker emotions can be a richer experience.    … Expand

    Pros:
    -amazing graphics and sound for a ps4 game.

    Cons:
    -The story is pretty meh at best, with plot holes galore, and **** all over the first game.
    -Most of the new characters are totally unrelatable and one dimensional.
    -The gameplay is basically the same from 7 years ago with some minor tweaks. By now we have seen that in many games and it has started to show its age.
    -The game is padded as much as possible, which ends up feeling quite repetitive and even boring. There are a few way too long sections that could have been cut to make a bit shorter but tighter game.

    Conclusion:
    It is not a bad game but it is not a good game either. If you haven't play the first one you may enjoy this, but if you grew to love first game like I did I doubt that you would enjoy this.

    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]
