    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you enjoyed the original Last of Us then avoid this game at all costs. This story is a train wreck in slow motion. I hope you don't like any of the characters from the first game or any of the hero characters from the beginning of the Last of Us 2. I can accept that this is a story of revenge and that Joel dies but I never expected all of the hero's to be dead, mutilated, traumatized with PTSD, destroyed marriages, and their lives in complete ruin at the end of the game while the villain quite literally sails off into the distance to live a happy and successful life.… Expand

    It's hard to process, but it's a cruel world afterall, I applaud it for making the effort, and love it desoite its imperfection.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really really liked Last of Us 1. The story was good, the gameplay was solid, and I really enjoyed the multiplayer, though I know it wasn't for everyone.
    But this game is just terrible, the gameplay is still there, and it is still solid. And sometimes gameplay can save a game with a bad story, but it can't save this one.
    GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay is pretty much identical to the first game, with a few minor tweaks and a few new weapons to play with. So if you liked the way the first one felt, you'll probably like how this one feels.
    STORY
    The story is a complete dumpster fire. They took every character we ever liked and either killed them or completely changed them so they are shell of their former personality. They force you to commit atrocities and then point the finger at you saying "Player why would you do such a thing, don't you feel bad?" None of the people in this game talk like you would expect to talk in real life, it feels like a very badly acted out children's play. The writing is sincerely bad, and you need only look at the other reviews to confirm this. The plot is a revenge plot, and some revenge plots can work extremely well, look at The Princess Bride, one of the greatest movies of all time, but the important thing about revenge plots is payoff. There needs to be a reason for us to care about the outcome and the outcome needs to be satisfying. During this game everyone Ellie loves dies or leaves her on her quest to get revenge, and when revenge is finally within your grasp, they take it away from you, and let the antagonist just get away. The bad guy gets away, and you lost everything near and dear to you, bam, wallop, that'll be $60. What in the world were they thinking? It would have been okay if we could sympathize with Abby at all, but she is just a dumb **** Her brains match her muscles in that they look like rocks. Her character is totally unbelievable and feels unlike any human I have ever met.
    I came away from this game wondering what took 7 years. Especially with all of the news we got about Naughty Dog overworking their employees and having massive crunch times. Did they spend all 7 years on the graphics alone? Because they didn't spend it on writing, and the gameplay is almost identical so they didn't spend it making new gameplay mechanics. And there is no multiplayer so they didn't put an ounce of effort towards that either. This game is extremely disappointing. If you still think you might like it after reading this review then go ahead and buy it, judge for yourself, but I'd recommend against it.    … Expand

    This is 20 hours of hot garbage, everyone rent the game, do not spend 60 on this game. No joke, just do not, the pacing, the action, the storytelling, this entire game is awful. Takes two hours for the story to even begin, there was couple good moments around 7th hour into the game, and then from the 12th hour to the ending, it just sucks. This entire game is garbabge, this game sucks period.

    This game humanize characters better than any other games too. I'm still thinking about Ellie till today. How she ended up alone. I always got lost in her journal... like holy **** this is the first time I actually felt like the characters in the game are real... they're pixelated but their faces, their breath, their depth overall (including the enemies) is just masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game doesn’t understand its players. It’s focus is directed more towards sending a message than it is to telling a story. The ending feels like a punch in the face. You’re telling me that Ellie kills hundreds of «bad guys» who have families (and dogs) and feelings and still she just lets Abby go? Ellie didn’t realize beforehand that Joel wouldn’t want Ellie to waste her life?

    Everything that made the first game so amazing is just gone from the second game. The 10 hour long journey to make us understand Abby just left a sour taste in my mouth. It felt like a bad DLC and I was constantly waiting for it to end. Besides, Abby was a spiteful and bad person. Her dad was about to kill a 14 year old girl, and she doesn’t understand why Joel would defend that girl? Her dad even expressed uncertainty when faced with the question of what he’d do if it was Abby who was immune, and still she doesn’t understand why Joel did what he did? Mel was right, Abby is a piece of ****

    I could rant forever about how bad and disappointing this game is, but the game doesn’t deserve my time. Words can’t describe how bad this game is, but numbers can. 0/10

    Had create an account just for this. What a waste of a IP, shoving so much SJW into it and into players faces it ruins the game. It's so unlike the first game you should just change the name of this because it's not a sequel it's a disgrace. Totally disappointed, this is why Sony needs offer refunds for trash like this.

    Could of worked as its own stand alone game, but as a sequel to arguably the greatest story driven game ever released. The writing and the execution is abysmal. I was genuinely surprised at how poor the story was... graphics & audi the only positives at all.

    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]
