    Great looking game. Gameplay is the same as the first. Conversations are interesting in some areas. However, the game is a cinematic experience, and the plot is uninteresting. Original characters, but 1 dimensional at the best of times. Over arching plot is filled with revenge tropes and obnoxious preaching. There were several ways to deliver the message 'Naughty Dog' was trying to convey,Great looking game. Gameplay is the same as the first. Conversations are interesting in some areas. However, the game is a cinematic experience, and the plot is uninteresting. Original characters, but 1 dimensional at the best of times. Over arching plot is filled with revenge tropes and obnoxious preaching. There were several ways to deliver the message 'Naughty Dog' was trying to convey, while being engaging, dramatic, and shocking. They decided to go the route of laziness. Save money, watch the game. Still want it? Get it. Though this game has none of the elements that made 'The Last of Us', great. Expand

    It's a good game but unluckily it is overshadowed by some unnecesary scenes that bring nothing good in to the game and are only a lame try to show support to nowadays waves making it a bad marketing tool that took away the impact of some actions and parts of the game, bringing nothing to the legacy of the franchise and making the last of us part 2 memorable for the wrong reasons

    Soyny is actively encouraging developers to pump out abominations such as this. You would have to be a complete idiot to want a PS5 at this point. Neil Druckmann is a fig. Get woke, go broke!

    This game has good graphics, new and innovative game play, but it doesn't feel like a game set in the universe of TLOU. The tonality of the first game and it's underlying message seem to have been abandoned. Character development is circular and self flagellating to no point. This game suffers massively from violating Chekov's gun fated exposition of continuity.

This game suffers massively from violating Chekov's gun fated exposition of continuity. The story is simply poorly written and even more poorly executed. There's little connection from the playable characters to the viewers in such a way as to make the game entirely disposable. I won't be revisiting this Game ever again and there's no reason to make a sequel so this is a farewell to the Last Of Us universe. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The scene where fans and anti-fans fight. It's like the Colosseum. Clearly, however, the game is unpleasant and unreasonable. It is not a social philosophy or a feeling of discomfort that comes from facing stark reality, but rather a feeling of displeasure as if it were looking at maggots. Expand

    There are no words for how terrible ghost game is. The ending alone and not being able to get revenge on Abby.

    I loved the first one mainly for the story and characters. It is my second favorite game. The story ist very bad und what they did to the characters ist just stupid. I know what they tried but sorry they failed miserably. Beloved characters mean something for fans. That is why they stay with us years after we finish the game. I hate what they did to them. And i mean both. Ellie and Joel.I loved the first one mainly for the story and characters. It is my second favorite game. The story ist very bad und what they did to the characters ist just stupid.

When did we go to child sacrifice is ok again. Did i miss something. If the only way to save humanity ist to sacrifice children then humanity is already dead. Let us go with some dignity. Child sacrifice? Really? People are defending that? Expand

    The whole game is very depressing, as a player of TLOU, I can not accept the strange changes in in-game roles' character. Joel, Ellie, and Tommy as if they are completely different from TLOU. The worst part is having to play Abby for half of this game, which makes me want to throw up eventually.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. pick up this game a day before father's day, such a huge disappointment. when i was playing this game when the story goes, every once a while i will have to thing, should i continue playing this? i have never ever try so hard to review a game, create an account on this site and try to let out tell people how i really feel of the the game i play. its not a happy feeling...
    Last of us was a beloved title, people waited long time for the part 2 to released, before and when the game released there is large amount of ad on facebook instagram youtube twitter almost every social media outlet is promoting how good is this game is; how can i miss out such a big game right?
    first night of the game i already second thought myself, it this really for me (gamer) ? or this is for someone from naughty dog who has his/her political or LGBT community to tell us their feeling?
    our main character of this game Ellie is a lesbian, fine to me, i dont really give a big deal of it.
    our beloved character got torture to dead by the girl he saved in the first hour of the game. (WTF??!! but ok, maybe there is more into the story, we see)
    Ellie was mad on his father because his father saved her from killing her to make a vaccine?? (WTF, all the father in the world will do the same!!! by the father of two)
    Ending, Ellie let Abby go free because revenge is wrong?!?!?! are you fuking kidding me? after all your best friends, your father, your father's best friend all got killed; after u long way on the road, u just killed like 100 people to get to abby you think revenge is wrong and let her go? am i crazy here or whoever create this crap is insane!
    anyway, avoid this crap at all cost!

    Bad story written by arrogant writers, who are definitely coward racists who only dare to make joke on asians. This “game” composed of awful character designs and ridiculous storylines. Since Naughty Dog treat players like idiots, a ZERO is what you get.

The graphics are great and the gameplay is good, but thats not why I, and many other people, bought this game. Joel dies in such a wasted manner, and so many characters also just kind of die. Its dogass. Expand

    The writing and directing was abysmal, to the point where you simply do not want to play the game anymore. Graphics, music, sound design and animations were absolutely amazing, but none of that matters when the story is trash. Gameplay is meh but that's always been the case even with the previous game.

    I wanted to like this so much as i loved the first game. Unfortantly its terrible. And not for any of the reason that the anti lgbtq folks are bothered about. The gameplay is so repetitive I had a really hard time getting past that. Also it feels exactly like the first game but with better graphics. There are so many failed attempts and ideas here.

    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]
