    I don't know where to start really. Credit where credit is due, the Graphics, atmosphere of the areas and stuff like that is amazing!

    It's just let down so badly by the story. Like having a movie with amazing CGI but a horrid plot!

    Just give a ZERO for a lesson to ND. If you didn't buy. Don't buy it. Everyone knows why at the moment. Just stay away. If you can refund do it now..

    the person reading this article should know about me i am not a last of us or x box or ps4 fan
    Now let's come to the main event, the game is neither too bad or not good
    Also, as someone who has played the first game, I can easily say that compared to the first game. very bad the real reason why it is so bad is definitely a story can be said but what makes the game good is game play    the person reading this article should know about me i am not a last of us or x box or ps4 fan

    Also, as someone who has played the first game, I can easily say that compared to the first game. very bad the real reason why it is so bad is definitely a story can be said
    but what makes the game good is game play graphic world design and development now my decision is that the story is fluent and beautiful at first
    it also has a start that draws you in. obviously it is played for 3 hours in a row at first without ever leaving the game
    but when you get in the middle of the game you can start to get bored slowly
    but when you get to the end you are begging for the game to end, especially when you play the memories of Abby you are getting cold from the game.
    and we came to the final, I think it was the worst and the most disgusting end compared to the game history
    Even if a person wanted the end of a game, it wouldn't end so badly
    In short, my comment is that the beginning of the game is perfect, the middle is meh, the end is disgusting
    If you are going to buy the game, I can recommend it to you for game play and for the pleasure felt when you hit that npc. but the decision to take for the story is up to you
    so in short, it eliminates game hunger    … Expand

    While the graphics are good, everything else is horrendous. from the story to the combat its just painful to play. Feels like the 5 years in development went straight to the graphics because holy **** the story and oh boy the ending, the ending has got to be the worst I've ever seen. Massively overrated.

    The game looks amazing and the mechanics are unreal but it's all for nothing cuz the story has to be one of the worst in gaming. The game is slow and makes no frickin sense. It takes a big ol poop on the game before that was so amazingly put together. It's so frustrating that we had to wait 7 years for this hot pile of garbage.

    My personal disappointment of this year. Really love the first part and used to play it for a while. Now this seems like a looooong movie with some interactions. The first 2 hours are really boring and slow, ordinary explorations and a few “zombies”. They really tried to dramatize the story but now it looks like a psychological thriller. Don’t recommend to anybody.

    Gameplay is intense and it's probably the most beautiful game I've seen. Also the technical mastery that naughty dog shows with how well optimized the game was for my standard PS4 is truly amazing. They avoided the jet engine sound of the original on PS3. However the story is monotonous and lacks enough focus to truly inspire any real emotion from you as a play, unlike the first game.

They avoided the jet engine sound of the original on PS3. However the story is monotonous and lacks enough focus to truly inspire any real emotion from you as a play, unlike the first game. It reeks of a creator who believes their creative vision could have no faults. It's basically George Lucas with the prequels again. The game bandies around interesting ideas but it never truly commits to then and every time I began to feel something for the story, the game would cut to another character and completely take me out of the emotional and thought provoked place. If this were a game franchise less known for story, I could see it gaining the acclaim that games such as MGSV have even with their weakened emphasis on story. This franchise however, is completely reliant on the story and it's emotional effect on you as a player and fails to commit to the ideas it brings up enough to provide a troluly thought provoking experience. Disappointed to say the least, I hate that this game felt like a slog but it did and I can't lie. 4/10.

    Who ever said this game was a masterpiece clearly knows nothing about sorry telling and I would unsubscribe now as they either believe their **** doesn't stink, much like the creative director of this game or they are so desperate not to lose access to the games that they lie blatantly.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I get why this game is getting hate. I don’t think it is deserved (except for the parts where you play as Abby). I personally liked the game, the thing that felt off was the tonal shift. It happened so suddenly that it caught me off guard. One second you are a agile badass killing clickers left and right, then the next you are a refrigerator playing fetch with a dog. The ending wasn’t something that I expected to be so hollow. I was left with an unfulfilled feeling in the pit of my stomach. It felt like my 20+ hours of gameplay amounted to nothing, but after a while it made since( even though it was pretty stupid). My take on the ending was that Ellie wanted to end the cycle of violence by not killing Abby(which was stupid). Anyways Ellie ended the violence by mowing down hordes of people only to not kill the person who killed her father figure and her best friend. The person who stripped Ellie of almost everything/one she had know. Even upon Ellie’s return to her home, she is stripped of her family and 2 fingers. All in all the revenge Plot didn’t really work for a game like the last of us. I applaud Neil and his team at Naughty dog for creating a unique experience in tlou2 but it is impossible to follow up a masterpiece. I still loved playing this game I just think that they needed someone on staff to think of pacing and placing, because it was a bit of a mess.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing graphics! As of the story, I get why the people are upset about it, but I think that you need to finish the game in order to understand the direction of the writing. To me, it was an incredible trip along Ellie and Abby. In the end, you sympathize with Abby as much as you sympathize with Ellie. It's all about vengeance and how that never ending wheel must be stopped. It's about redemption and the DUALITY that these 2 women represent. Loved the game.… Expand

Love how it looks, but the clunky game play and poor Narrative of story is just a major letdown, killing off main characters who are loved and drove the story to a point has been done in the past and it has been done right many times, this game didn't do a great job with the same, I get all the hate around that but the actual dislike for the game itself stems from how the plot fails to wrap up the story in the way it should have, justifying the route they decided to go with it, if there is a 3rd installment and they can redeem themselves from the half baked writing this time around. But for now I'll not be going beyond the demo and play through's.

    Bad on the studio going rogue on the dev's and artists and forcing them through crunches by underpaying or straight up denying pay and firing off staff to keep the others in check.    … 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]
