    Terrible...
    The game is betraying the "Gamer's Love" for its previous work.
    I'll never play this game again...

    Upgrade to the first in every respect. Fascinating story, incredible art section, animations to another level, top graphics. Just thank Naughty Dog for this masterpiece.

    Poor writing and politics don't belong in video games. Druckman can hang his hat up on this one knowing he FUBAR'd this one.

    It plays like a PS3 game and the story is way worse than the original. Also, it destroyed all the built-up and characters from the previous game just to add new characters that are not memorable or even relevant to the story. It's impossible for me to recommend this game, the gameplay is outdated and the story is horrible.

    The first thirty minutes are okay but then it just descends into a meaningless teenage drama about girls laying on top of each other. Seriously Neil, what were you thinking?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So first off I have played through the whole game since I have a New Zealand account and there the game releases earlier. And the graphics are stunning. But I play the last of us for the story and this is where my problem with this game is. I could have given it a 0 and say everything about this game is trash but it clearly doesnt deserve a 0 because it does have some good moments like the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie. But the entire second half and the (in my opinion) **** revenge plot make this game really hard to recommend for me. If you play games for the graphics go ahead but if you want a good story this game is not what you are looking for.… Expand

    Technically good, but hollow and soulless as a zombie.
    If you waited for this game because you loves amazing story and character from original TLoU - better original, as you will not find anything worth you time here.
    In short - TLoU2 does for original TLoU the same crap that Terminator Dark Fate did to Original Terminator 1/2, the same crap SW: The Rise of Skywalker did to original SW    Technically good, but hollow and soulless as a zombie.

    As for gameplay - it yes, it has some improvements over original TLoU, but it does not make a really noticeable difference in a long run and these improvements do not compensate for ruined story full on inconsistencies, plot-holes and plain dumb moves.    … Expand

    Once more, users don't understand the concept of character development and what Part II is intending to do.

It's not always black and white and there are shades of grey within us all, sometimes we can't change our fundamental nature. It was even publicly broadcasted that it would be an entirely different beast to the first game, the magic and wonder has been replaced by an eternally bleak and heart-wrenching tale of vengeance and darkness as it travels into the flawed nature of humanity and the repercussions of choosing revenge. It doesn't glorify violence and invites the player to feel bad about their actions as Ellie becomes further calcified by her survival instinct and hardened as her quest for retribution unravels. The original was about 'love' while this sequel tackles the topic of 'hate' which adds to the gloomy tone and devastating story.

    The graphics and character animations continue to push the envelope and test what studios are capable of and it looks like you're watching a movie, the amount of detail on the locations and foliage to the rundown areas of the country as we journey from more than one state giving it a much larger scope than the first game.

    Neil Druckmann outright said that 'fun' isn't the word he would use for Part II, it's a relentless endurance test that continuously beats you down and shows no mercy in displaying the grim reality which fits with the current state of society and that humans can be just as monstrous as the abominations from the Cordyceps outbreak.

    The voice acting and sharply written script helps make the characters believable and engaging and offers a sense of diversity by not conforming to the norm and showing acknowledgment of other communities like the masculine Abby who originally rubbed me the wrong way but Laura Bailey sells her performance.

    This isn't going to appeal to gamers who want things to stick to the status quo as this isn't intended to take the safe way out and a lot of things will happen that you don't like and it's entirely beyond your control. That doesn't suddenly mean the game is bad because it defies your expectations from the first game, it just shows that we're in a whole different weight class now and characters change. Joel had become consumed by hubris after taking on the Fireflies and fighting through the hospital to rescue Ellie that he found himself nigh on indestructible and his arrogance is his downfall which shares similarities with Walter White when he demands rival dealers to say his name and also, Rick Grimes when trying to take over Alexandria because he's already beaten his adversaries and thinks nothing can stop him.

    This is an entirely contrary to what you expect kind of game that grabs hold and doesn't let go and leaves a chilling indelible mark long after the 30 hour campaign.

    The leaks undeniably hurt the reception but people are blowing it way out of proportion and hold a rosy-colored view of the first game that they can't accept change or appreciate that it wasn't going to be the same. There's also edgelords who dislike Ellie's sexual orientation even though it was obvious in the first game with her tomboy look and her romantic experimentation with her friend Riley in the Left Behind DLC. There's also incels who despise strong female representation in media and slander the slightest things.

    Only you can really perceive how you feel but take off the nostalgia glasses for a moment and you'll see that Naughty Dog have raised the bar, yet again.

    The best **** game in this **** world. From the first hours of the game you fall in love with her amazing world. Dumb homophobes that underestimate the game just because of the presence of LGBT minorities in it - suck my balls.

    Bad written characters. Story isn’t compelling at all.
    I’ve seen people say it ruined the first one for them but I didn’t even play the first and I don’t like this one.
    It’s just like watching a bad netflix series.

    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]
