    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are many things this game made terrible wrong, and most of them just ignored character development of the first game and tried to create a new narrative that made all fans hate this game.

    1) The way Joel dies before solving all issue with Ellie is the start point of this campaign. The relationship between these 2 is broken because the Lie in the end of the first game. And the game ends without a satisfactory conclusion on that regard.

    2) The game introduces a new playable characters, Abbie, and tries hard to make us like her, but in the beginning she is the one that kills Joel in front of Ellie and many others dear to Ellie along the game, which makes her the object of vengeance that Ellie is hunting the entire game.

    3) After everything that she lost and every trouble to find Abbie, Ellie ends in a nonsense fight with her which ends up with Ellie letting her go because she remembered Joel... The guy that singled handled killed everyone just for her sake...

    And that is it, you play a long game with many unsatisfactory developments, only to end up unsatisfied to the very end.

    The graphics are great, animations are awesome, and the music don't lose to the first game, but the story is so unsatisfactory that everything else don't matter.

    This is a great sequel and worthy of your time,from gameplay to story and everything in between .Lots of negative reviews posted within 5 or 6 hours yet it’s a 20 to 30 hour game ,so obviously trolls and haters on here .Solid 10/10 from me.

    Beautiful game with a huge gameplay and high graphics. But this story totally killed the game before.
    Its not only gameplay and graphics that make a great game, its how you involve the player emotionally with the character and the story.
    This is frustrating.

    I have an idea, how about the next Uncharted, feel free to kill off the entire cast of characters, because bad guys have feelings too!

    You have taken what has made the first game so great; good story and characters that you can become invested in, and totally removed it.

    Now you make the returning characters dull, uninspiring and introduce us to new characters that we hate to play, force us to play them and do your best to remove any emotional attachment to the main characters in the first game.

    I will give you credit however, you did get an emotional response from gamers, for me it was pretty much all negative, you have ruined this series for myself and many other gamers.

    The real world already has enough bad crap in it, I play games to escape some of that and have fun, you have taken that away from me in this game. This game can have the best graphics and gameplay on the ps4, but without a good story and characters, its not a good game.

    Tommy Boy Quote. “I could take a crap in a box and stamp a guarantee on it, but all it would be is a guarrenteed box of crap”

    That’s sums it up, Naughty Dog has just “Jumped the Shark” with this game.

    The last of us 2 is the following game of the 2013 game with the same title. As a 7 year over-hype sequel finally out Tlos2 sadly throw everything that it predecessor achieve out of the window. It hurt me to write this review but i can confident to say that i did not enjoy this game at all.

    The graphic are good, the atmosphere of the ruin world where human are not the top of the food-chain anymore are still there. Im happy to see technology improvement help artist paint the more realistic world than ever before. The maps are bigger that the last game and it feel like you have more option to explore. But there isnt any major myth for you to find out like Tomb Raider and the progression fell pretty linear. There are a bunch of accessible options in which some make the game completely turn into a walking simulator. I suggest you should check those first when started playing. AI are just like before, not really bright. They wont make you fell threatened. Cut scene are way too many sometime i feel like im watching a movie. I can say over all its a so-so, its what i expected when buying the game nothing out of the ordinary.

    The story is not what i expected. The theme and direction are completely opposite first game. Turning a new leaf but not in a good way. The first game show us there are beauty in everything, acceptance of losing your loved one and natural way of healing past drama. While this game is about vengeance and hatred. The game force us to feel and understand the felling of the new character while we doesn't have any deep emotional connection except rage and confused toward them. Like you are forced to spend a day with your high-school bully while having constantly being a dick to your best friend. That doesn't feel nature enough to make me feel bad for him because his mother mistreat him as a kid. And then on the final decision you couldn't make it yourself and force to watch another cut-scene again. I think cheap 1$ visual novel have more option to choose than this game.

    I cant believe i payed full price for this, the first game was amazing but this is a complete failure.
    This has to be the wokest agenda based game ive ever seen and makes me concerned for games in the future.
    Naughty dog games would usually be a day 1 buy for me but now i will think twice, bitterly disappointed.

    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]
