    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok this is the first game I’ve ever reviewed on Metacritic because I want people to see a non-rants bad review. I personally believe that this game must have gotten killed by crunch as it heavily feels as though they wanted to change things but were unable to and hodge podged a story together. Playing as Abby does not make you like her, they did not do a good enough job at humanizing this character, simple as that. If they maybe started the game off as Abby it might have been different, giving us her perspective from the start may have helped us like her more but she’s also written to be frankly, unlikable. The emotions you get playing this game are also bland at best. The only thing I ‘felt’ while playing this was anger when Joel died. After that I just felt bored. When the story ends and Abby leaves when Ellie lets her go you don’t feel bitter or angry or sad, you feel nothing. I had to ask myself, what value did I gain from this? I honestly couldn’t answer. If you asked me this question about the original TLOU, I would’ve told you about the love for the characters and their bond. I’m that regard TLOU 2 fails at every single step of the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel scammed out of a story that could of been great but was complete dog **** I hate Abby, not cause she trans, but the fact I watched her kill off one of my favorite characters in the game and instead of the game just leaving it at that, it continues to SPIT on me, and I’m forced to play 10 hours of a character, who’s an **** throughout a majority of her play through. And the ending... wtf kind of ending was that, I’m thinking “yes I’m Ellie and now I can avenge Joel by killing Abby” but naw, instead I gotta fight this character in water for like 5 mins and for what?! Ellie is about to kill her and then just gives up, like what?! And that’s game. Horrible game and story, thanks cuckmen.… Expand

    Basically, how Joel's death was executed and being forced to play as the killer and ND trying to make us feel sympathy towards her is why this game sucks, also not fulfilling Ellie's goal of vengeance.    … Expand

    Great visuals and music, gameplay is decent enough. HOWEVER the story is awful. And the way the characters have been treated is quite horrendous.

    Graphically, the game is phenomenal,the attention to detail is astonishing and the best ND have ever produced. The combat is improved but still quite the same as Part 1. ND have created a narrative that will divide divide most of the fanbase. If you're a true part 1 fan, after playing this you will obviously know which one is superior.    … Expand

    Unfortunately, it does not give you any reason to play it again. It's a story based game which means that having a bad story ruins the gameplay. Graphics etc. can't save that.
    The game also has a lot of annoying interactions, buzzles are boring and b4hand praised weapon etc. animations are full and stupid.

    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]
