    Just do not listen to the haters who gave the game a bad score, I just finished the game myself, and I have never seen anything like this, it’s unique, brutal and absolutely genius. This is the kind of game that pushes the gaming industry further and allow for inspiration. Naughty dog again proves that they are the best game developers

    Very detailed world, but very weak plot.
    This part couldn't come close to the first,even a little. Sadly.
    The developers wanted to show us what violence leads to. But it all came down to a banal scenario.

    If I wanted to move ladders and throw bricks, I'd get into construction. This is definitely another attempt to get players to cope with certain social aspects that are just not relevant to games, sony or the 21th century.

    Would definitely not play it again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLDR. I am stunned... crying right now because I am insulted and I feel I was hostaged to do something I wont choose in real life. Narrative elements found in this game are better suited to a deep RPG not a linear on rails shooter. A naughty dog game with no carrot on the end of a stick will get tedious quick. No Gameplay is fine but a lackluster story ala last jedi is a very unenjoyable experience

    let me explain bellow

    -The impunity of the developers making decisions for you... in the age of great story driven RPGs and other action adventure games making you choose how to approach things Last of us 2 forces you to do things you detest and dont like and shames you because of doing it. in Bioshock a shooter from the late 2000s shames you or punishes you from killing little sisters by giving you lesser atom and a bad ending, but the game only does that because the player choses to do that. In last of us a 6 year developed game shames you because you did a scripted action which you have no control over.

    -if the last of us wanted to go that route where it wants to teach the lesson revenge is wrong, why not made it a hybrid shooter/rpg game? it removed the multiplayer, gameplay is non existent since its a linear on rails shooter so there is no excuse not to implement that. Where did all that development years go? I dont mind if a game teaches me a hard lesson but please make it so that I am responsible not beacause I was forced due series of scripted events.

    -another thing The greatest plothole... After killing all of Abby’s friend even a pregnant woman! Ellie just let Abby Go wont abby be pissed off a once she is able to avenge her dead friends and continue the cycle!

    -The gameplay while improved still suffers from dull padding(carrying ladder, pushing boxes, jumping and swing in ropes) its unessesary things that really grinds the game to tedious levels of absurd.

    -No prize of a good story after playing a tedious meh shooter does not make this an enjoyable experience.

    in conclusion plot holes, tedious gameplay and an insulting plot and ending made me wish I did not but my copy with Steelbook! its very expensive for a single player only game and it feels long and tedious. It feels wrong I am gutted I feel violated not because the story made me feel that but because the money I spent could have gone to a better developer. I wont be suprised if this is the final Naughty Dog game that will sell well look at Rise of Skywalker. Star wars did not recover, naughty dog might as well, stop making consumers feel bad about supporting you guys its not right!    … Expand

    I am a very big fan of The Last of Us and I waited seven years for the sequel. Today was supposed to be a celebration day, the launch of the sequel to one of my favorite games of all time.

    Unfortunately, it's far from being a celebration day. It's basically a funeral. I enjoyed the gameplay of the first game a lot and Part 2 has pretty much the same gameplay which is a big plus -    I am a very big fan of The Last of Us and I waited seven years for the sequel. Today was supposed to be a celebration day, the launch of the sequel to one of my favorite games of all time.

    Unfortunately, it's far from being a celebration day. It's basically a funeral.

    I enjoyed the gameplay of the first game a lot and Part 2 has pretty much the same gameplay which is a big plus - it's still good. The graphics are gorgeous and the music is excellent.
    However...
    Just like in the first game, The Last of Us Part 2's main drawing force should be the story. I regret to inform that the story in this game is absolutely terrible. There is a lack of respect for the characters from the first game, the ones that I loved very much, like Joel and Ellie. The story is a basic revenge plot with a modern "subversion of expectations" at the end which I didn't enjoy at all.

    I am mourning the franchise, because this game really sank the ship. It really really did.    … Expand

    The graphics are amazing, loved them. Story was trash, game of thrones season 8 style. Killed the franchise, characters were just so... so bad. The gameplay was pretty much the same with little to no variation, jump button was bullsh*t as it looked like a drunk person trying to leap with a twisted ankle. Anyone who loved the first game be warned, for disappointment.

    Pros:
    - amazing graphics
    - okay gameplay
    - attention to details Cons:
    - wtf with the story writing tho honestly the dialogue is cheesy and very bad the story itself is a departure from previous TLOU and a stepdown.
    - has no new features - that robotic voice is annoying as hell

    Imagine this game without its gigantic budget, completely stripped of its "mind-blowing" graphics. All you would have is repetitive game playthrough that gets boring after 5 hours.
    Where Uncharted 4 went for full crazy action scenes (cutscenes or ingame) to help us forget about repetitive gameplay, TLOU2 goes for more grittiness, sexual content and horrendously stupid shock value.

    Reviewers opinion being completely disconnected with fans now makes perfect sense, because fans actually care about their favourite games and characters with passion and respect.    … Expand

    I'm incredibly sad about what they have done to this franchise.. the first game is one of the best written games that brought me to tears in the first few minutes. This "sequel" is just a huge middlefinger to anyone that loved the first game, hell it's a huge middle finger TO THE FIRST GAME!

    The Last of Us 2 shows how corrupt the critics are aswell, this whole thing is a disgrace.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really poor writing all around the board. Graphics look nice but it doesn't really matter too much when you're playing it on a PS4 with terrible frame rate. Everything feels forced and out of place in this game, there's really no words to describe how disappointed I am with this game after waiting for it for so long. Good job naughty dog you really subverted our expectations with this one I guess, can't wait for the terrible sequel, in which i will not waste $60 like i did with this game.… Expand

    A that game killed the first in a very disrespectful way... Terrible story with characters, boring pace, terrrible AI which remind me of some hipster emotional low budget drama movie. A bigger disaster than 2020 with this whole pandemic going around. Don't waste your money

    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]
