    I have just finished the game I thought it was very good, but understand why some people are upset the ending makes sense, in my opinion, but isn't what some people wanted. I would recommend playing this game, but be aware it's not a happy game and not really an adventure it's melancholy, if not straight up depressing. I don't feel like it was bitter sweet, like the first, and I doubt I can play through it again for a while if at all. I think the reason I liked it and others didn't was because I was able to empathize with a a character others could not. I can't fault them for that either.

    Edit 1: TLDR: Still very enjoyable. the rating I should give it is a 9, but I won't to offset the abundance of 0s

    I'm now at a little over 10 hours I think this game feels very much like the first. Some of the other reviews I saw pointed that out too. They seem to point to this as a negative, but I disagree. The first game was extraordinary, and I think this sequel continues this. It is visually beautiful and the dynamic between Ellie and Dina is enjoyable. It's different than that of the First, since the relationship to Ellie is very different. The story is still engaging. I was at the edge of my seat at a few points.
    I do have a few issues however, there have been a few visual glitches and the game crashed once, which takes away enough enjoyment that I should take away a point. The only reason I am not is the excess of overly negative ratings. I can understand distaste for the story, but I don't think that is really why it is being barraged. Unless the story is so uninspired later I can't see any major complaints with the story. Sure a revenge plot can be called cliche, but there is enough of a hero's journey to enjoy.

    TLDR: So far a very fun game

    I've put in 2 hours and 30 minutes so far, so this rating may be subject to change, but I really don't see what people are complaining about. So far I'm invested in the story. One could argue that this could be a bias carried over due to falling in love with the characters in the original that caused this investment, but I am invested nonetheless. So far it feels like the Winter section of the original game in atmosphere, both physically and mentally.    … Expand

    Where to begin..... It is absolutely mindblowing to see what Naughty Dog ve' done with this franchise.. horrible, insulting for all the fans of the first game. The story is so bad that it is to difficult to even describe with words... Political agendas all over the place beacuse obviously that is more important than anything else right Neil?

    STORY: 0/10 , the end makes the entire game ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS
    GAMEPLAY: 6,5/10. mediocre at best, it is the same as it was 7 years ago, 0 inovations, the "jump button" it s a joke it feels like Quick Time event, pointles VISUALS: 8/10, standard triple A game for 2020., we excepted nothing less
    FINAL SCORE: 1/10, despite decent visuals and ok gameplay you will play this game untl the end just because you have paid for it, the story ruins the entire experience and it really is very difficult to finish this game beacuse of the absolute **** that happens in the storyline... Basically you are forced to play as the killer of Joel and not only that but in a large portion of the game you even have to fight Ellie... Incredible.... and in the end Ellie does not get revenge because "revenge is bad" narrative.... disgusting    … Expand

    if you play RDR2

    Remember in RDR2 how Chapter 6 ends? Arthur, weakened by his tuberculosis is beaten to death by Micah as the gang falls apart by Micah's doing. Very sad, and you want nothing more than to kill Micah as revenge. Imagine then that the epilogue starts up, and it looks like it might deliver on that. Then, ha ha F you, the epilogue is actually you playing as Micah, going back to Micah childhood, trying to get you to like Micah, then in the Ending you switch back to John, just to let Micah go without killing him. That's basically what this game is. Pathetic.    … Expand

    The main thing in the game is the story and this is **** New character development is gross. The new characters are unnecessary and add nothing to the plot. If you leave the beginning and the end nothing changes. Disgusting

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To put things in context I want to clarify two things up-front: 1. I absolutely loved TLOUS. An amazingly amazing adventure. Fabulous characters. Easily in my top 5 of the greatest games of alm time. 2. I don't care about the LGBTQ agenda. I know it's been unnecessarily pushed in this opus, but this didn't discourage me from looking forward to playing the game. Alright, I am going to be as concise as possible. I have created an account specifically to express my opinion and my absolute disgust over what happened. When I saw the leaks a couple of months ago I couldn't believe my eyes, so I canceled my preorder and waited for a review w/ spoilers before making a decision on how I should use my $62 (taxes man).

    Verdict: Neil Druckmann is a psychopath. This individual has a serious neurological/psychological problem. Not only he does my boy Joel dirty and makes my girl Ellie miserable, but his ultimate goal is to make you feel bad about everything you do. Making you feel guilty, ashamed, humiliated and desperate. For example when he forces you to kill pets, or when he makes you kill a pregnant woman (the pregnancy thing appeared three times btw), or when he makes Ellie want to play guitar with two missing fingers...this is pure degeneracy at this point. Games are supposed to make you go through a lot of emotions, including bad ones, but what Druckmann and Gross (name suits her like a glove) make you do is pure perversion. They should never touch a scenario again. Druckmann when he has full control over a script is dangerous.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's sad watching all of the critics scramble to post articles about the game getting "review bombed" and looking for excuses to justify a bad game being given a legendary rating.

    The game moves extremely clunky and the sneak attack on "the infected" is beyond idiotic. Yes, let me put my arm right below a zombies mouth. This also feels like a game that would benefit much more from allowing users to make some choices. Instead we're mostly stuck watching a film with little game play.

    Critics will jump on the "this is obviously anti-LGBT crowd. No. No one gives a darn about the main character being a lesbian. It's not a romance game and frankly her love interest is so boring. Their interactions are boring and trivial. What makes their relationship worse is knowing the forgettable love interest is essentially Joel's replacement. Speaking of Joel... his death was poorly timed and very poorly setup. The writing around his untimely doom was horrendous. This guy lived 24+ years just to get clapped by some petulant woman he just saved. The guy never had a complete story arc and never had to confront his choice to essentially doom humanity's chance at a cure. Plus, it felt like a watered down crappy version of the Walking Dead's scene with Neagan.

    The game is gorgeous. There's no arguing that and I'm sure thats what critics are getting a hard on about. Not to mention, just like movies, out of touch critics love unpopular plot twists. These are the same people who will pan a movie like Avengers Endgame and then praise a movie like Green Book that no one actually cared to go watch.

    Get off your high horses and admit you're sheep. Not a single negative review from a critic? No one sees how fishy that is? But instead blame fans... you know the people who keep you in business and who the games are supposed to be made for.

    The game isn't horrendous but man it's really boring in-between cut scenes.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are good and the gameplay is pretty much the same from the first. However, the game is very big on narrative and that is where the whole thing falls apart.
    ***SPOILERS****
    None of the new characters in the game are likeable at all. The main character from the first game gets killed 2 hours in and you are forced to play as the killer for at least 10 hours. When you finally reach the end of the game Ellie decided to not even get her revenge and avenge Joel. The whole game is just one big misery simulator for the sake of being miserable. The story has no direction and feels like it was written by a edgy 14 year old as a fan fiction. Play the first "last of us" and save yourself the headache and skip this game.    … Expand

    Killed one of the 2 main characters of the game in the first hour or so of gameplay. Wasted a game worth of character development just to subvert expectations. Spent the whole game chasing Joel's killer to get revenge only to fight her, be seconds away from killing her, but decide to let her live, because again, people wouldn't expect that. Enough said.

    Its honestly weird, some of the stuff in this game doesn't seem new at all. Quite frankly, they all seem like rehashes of the first game and the characters they do add seem uninspired, generic, and just plain boring. To add to this, the spoilers are absolutely garbage and the only reason why I'm not giving a lower score is because of the good graphics.

    Detailed: Graphics: 9/10. Beautiful graphics, the most you can get out of a PS4 probably. Gameplay: 3/10. Controls are great and have been improved from the first part, but the game itself is dull and repetitive. TLOU was a difficult game, but its difficulty was for the right reasons, this game is too easy for all the wrong reasons. Story: 0/10. Getting to the    Honest Score: 4/10

    Graphics: 9/10. Beautiful graphics, the most you can get out of a PS4 probably.
    Gameplay: 3/10. Controls are great and have been improved from the first part, but the game itself is dull and repetitive. TLOU was a difficult game, but its difficulty was for the right reasons, this game is too easy for all the wrong reasons.
    Story: 0/10. Getting to the point. Story is chaotic, has plot holes and is full of random rationalization of unconnected events.
    There are 3 thing I hate in this world: homophobia, misogyny and lack of empathy. There are 3 thing I hate even more: rainbow washing, pink washing and justification of bad acts based on personal traits. Guess which 3 this game has.
    Music: 4/10. This point may suffer from the comparison with TLOU, in the first game the music was awesome, in this one... is not.

    Bottomline: 4/10 when graphics are 9/10 means the game is horrible, it's just not worth it.
    It's great they have put all the accessibility features they did, it's a shame they didn't do it in a game people would actually enjoy.
    The game is already a failure. Don't you love when just being trendy doesn't pay the bills? I sure do.    … 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]
