    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A lot of people are complaining about this game when honestly it is a true masterpiece. The game does a superb job at creating an ending in which there is no right or wrong moral answer. Leaving it up to you to ponder about the ethics of revenge and whether an eye is really worth another eye. Throughout the game I struggled with the idea of Joel being being dead and brutally killed however it did make me realise that no matter how much I loved Joel and Ellie in the first game, was Joel right for killing everyone in that hospital? Now don’t get me wrong, if it was someone I cared about that much I would have done the same thing any day but it did make me wonder is 1 life that we’re so emotionally attached to and bias towards really worth more than a vaccine that could potentially help thousands of not millions? This game did a great job at planting a seed in the players brain to make them realise that we need to recognise our own biases and that there is always more than one perspective. Incomes Abby. Now I will say I did not like her at first and even now I’m very iffy with her but I do like a few things. First of all she brings a different perspective of loss with her father being the surgeon that Joel killed and rescued Ellie from. This is interesting as it pits biological loss to socially developed loss against each other. When I realised that Ellie’s situation and Abby’s situation were the exact same it made me think about what is morally and ethically right when it comes to revenge. Abby completed her vengeance at the beginning of the game but only to lose her friends afterwords. This has a pretty meaningful message and brings up the question. Does vengeance lead to a never ending cycle of violence in which no one prospers? At the end of the game Ellie finally gets her chance to kill Abby and take her vengeance but has a flash back of Joel dying. In this flashback I believe she realised that 1. this is not what Joel would have wanted and 2. That by doing this she would become the very thing she hates, killing a protector and raiser. Now let me explain, throughout multiple cutscenes we see Ellie tackle what happened at the hospital and start to grow further away from Joel but does not do so completely. Why? Because she still has love and respect for him for what he did and that he basically raised her as evident by the Museum flash back scene, she still cherishes moments they had. By killing Abby she’s be destroying Levs parental figure and be no better than Joel for murdering the hospital in which Abby’s father was the surgeon. So she comes to the choice to let her go. Now I know I know, I felt bad letting her go but understood why Ellie did it. After all these years she finally did something that she could be proud of and that gives her life purpose. She overcame loss not by taking a life but by giving hers a new purpose. When she left that guitar behind it was an indication that she has moved on and left the past behind. Who knows what’s to come next. But one things for sure, I’m playing. Thank you so much for reading this far. Now this is just my opinion. I am not right nor am I wrong. This was just my interpretation.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like this game was written by a child who didn't even play the first game. They completely forgot that Joel is smart and unlikely to trust strangers. (If you played the first game you know this) Shoving him into a situation where he is helpless and giving him a pathetic death, he should've died to protect Ellie or something not this... I'm not mad that he died I'm mad at how he died and then they tried to make us sympathize with Abby. That did not work at all and I hated her all the way until the end and playing as her was boring. She deserved a death worse than Joel's but Ellie just walked away for no reason after everything she's been through to get to her and the hundreds of people she's killed. That would've redeemed the game if she at least got her revenge. This game was a disappointment and a waste of money. They ruined this franchise. I hope the writer for this game gets treated how they treated Joel.… Expand

    Lesbian here who owns the collector's edition. I was extremely excited for this game and had pre-ordered on the first day. The only true last of us is in my favorite games of all time. I was excited up until the first leaks came out. I had a small piece of hope that it would be at least somewhat good as I already expected Joel would probably die in the squeal just not in the way the leaksLesbian here who owns the collector's edition.

I had a small piece of hope that it would be at least somewhat good as I already expected Joel would probably die in the squeal just not in the way the leaks showed. When I played the game and saw how they made Joel/Tommy go against their characters, by telling these people where they live and their names when they do not know these people at all. The way Abby just kills Joel when at this point the player has no idea who Abby makes her insufferable. All the work they do to try and make her sympathetic does nothing. At the end of the game, I agree with Ellies's decision to still go after Abby cause 'it can't all be for nothing'. It does not make sense that she would almost just let Abby go, she had just killed a man to get information on where Abby is. The ending is inconsistent with Ellie's character, as the entire game she has been killing people to try and get to Abby, and it is stupid she did not just shoot her in the head. Ellie's ending is bad and she does not even get revenge if she had just killed her straight away all that would be different is she would still have 10 fingers. A waste of £160. Collapse… Expand

    Garbage game. Typical revenge plot that is executed horribly. It’s also filled with woke nonsense. Do yourself a favor and save your money for Cyberpunk 2077

    Same gameplay as the first one, none impressive physics and animations, weird facial expressions, bad and boring story. The only good thing are the graphics, but you don't buy a game for the graphics.

    Go and play something else.

    Conflicting storyline just leaves me wanting more. Do not expect the outcome you hope for, but immerse yourself into this beautifully detailed game, live in it yourself. Parts of the story will seem difficult to even play but it all adds up to the final outcome. Ellie is wonderful and Joel is just like that feeling of coming home to a nice warm meal.

    The game looks good and the mechanics are good but the only reason I liked TLOU was the dynamic between Ellie and Joel. I stopped playing after Joel died. The story meant nothing to me after that point. I could care less about the "wokeness" it was Joel and Ellie that I played the game for.

    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]
