    Truly emotionally stunning, intricate and mind-bendingly good game. Pinnacle of narrative gaming on the ps4.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphically it’s an amazing game! The kill scenes are great and very graphic in detail. I’m I as attached to Joel as much as everyone else?? No! But here’s my issue. The story is all over the place. It’s almost as if the writers had 3-4 ideas and couldn’t decide on which one to use so they used them all! The last act of the game was completely unnecessary. I think we could have had more Joel/Ellie in the beginning AND then kill him off. People giving this game a 10 are crazy. It’s a fun game and I absolutely 100% love Last of Us franchise but something happened with Part 2. Perhaps down the road we’ll get a documentary explaining “what went wrong” Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 from a narrative perspective...is a mess. A beautiful mess. This story could have been so much more but due to poor direction and risky decision making by Neill Druckmann the end result simply didn’t quite hit the mark.

    By having Abby kill Joel relatively early on in the story it automatically makes her hated by the player. So making said player have to take control of her for 10+ hours was an idiotic decision that frustrated many players( including myself). I feel that this could have been somewhat fixed if the story had been told in a different order. Allow the player to get to know Abby and her connection to Joel before she kills him; that way the player can actually understand to an extent why Abby does what she does. It may not change how you feel about her but at least it gives the player an appreciation for her actions before you have to play as her for half of the entire game. As for Abbys storyline...IT IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THE ENTIRE GAMES PLOT!The Seraphites storyline has no impact on the fights between Ellie and Abby or the ending whatsoever! It’s as if Neill Druckmann came up with two entirely different games and decided to cram them both together. It simply DOESN’T WORK! The games ending was poorly executed as well. I don’t mind that the game has a sad ending as it feels rather poetic. What isn’t poetic is that I had to go through the Santa Barbra portion of the game facing off against ANOTHER group that once again have NO BEARING ON THE OVERALL STORY/ MESSAGE OF THE GAME WHATSOEVER! I wish that this section was cut out from the game as it feels tacked on and only serves as a way for Ellie and Abby to fight again. This could have easily been remedied by having a Seattle day 4 where you play as Ellie still hellbent on killing Abby. Then, have the fight scene take place, Ellie let’s Abby go and then have the game finish with Ellie and Dina at the farm where they can finally be happy. As the game comes to a close, we get to watch the flashback between Joel and Ellie where they somewhat reconcile and just like that... the game ends.That’s just my personal take on how I feel the story should have went but to be honest I would be happier with probably anything other than what we got. As for the characters in the game, I felt little connection or interest in any of the side characters besides the ones established in Part 1 as well as Dina. Jesse is a solid character but his only real character trait is that he is the father of JJ and his only role is to serve as your AI partner while Dina rests. However, despite what I just said, I did have quite an interest in Lev( the seraphite defect). His backstory is quite interesting and despite what many people think of Neill Druckmanns supposed “LGBT agenda”, I feel as though Levs sexuality and how it affects him as well as the others around him is the main thing that made me interested in the seraphite storyline. Don’t get me wrong, it is by no means a bad storyline, it just simply didn’t belong in THIS story! The best part about the plot in my opinion is the flashbacks we get as Ellie. Seeing her go to the dinosaur museum warmed my heart and I had a smile on my face the entire time. Truly a beautiful scene and my personal favourite part of the game. It’s unfortunate however that the best parts about this game are the flashback sequences as Ellie. They really put a lot of time and care into crafting these segments and it sucks that that care is not reflected in the main story.

    In terms of gameplay, the game controls similarly to the first TLOU with enough newly added enemy types and gameplay mechanics to keep the formula fresh. Approaching encounters is so much fun because there are so many different ways you can play them. From killing enemy’s silently one by one to going on a shooting spree, it really feels like you are the character as they traverse through the game and I love that. The game from a technical standpoint runs great, the audio is spot on and the graphics are breathtaking. These qualities really make you feel immersed in the experience.

    Unfortunately, however, these great qualities can’t save TLOU part 2 from being a game full of waisted potential. I don’t think it deserves all of the mass hate that it has been getting, but I can certainly see why some players have reacted negatively to the game. I hope that TLOU story ends here or if they decide to make a 3rd instalment, that it be centred on entirely different characters or that it be set in the past where we can take control as Joel once again.

    Amazing (but heart wrenching game) As for all the imbeciles that gave it a zero, they probably thought they were being asked for their IQ. What a bunch of morons. You gotta know giving this is a 0 is part of THEIR agenda. My advice is to take your time with each section and make sure you explore as much as possible before you move on.

Gore is gruesome, the violence is grim yet satisfying. The story is incredible engrossing, and challenging. The negative review scores reflect the general gaming populace's unwillingness to turn their brains on when engaging with stories. These people cry from the top of their lungs that video games are art, and then step all over and scream at a true masterpiece when it stares them in the face.

    Not a full 10 out of 10 because...well, I can't really put into words wise. This game is truly amazing, and a must buy, but few games are perfect. For example, this game lacks multiplayer unlike it's predecessor. Also, the pacing suffers slightly towards the beginning of the halfway point of the game. The story telling is disjointed, and while it works incredibly well on the first playthrough, I'm not looking forward to playing it through a second time. A chronological mission setting would be a brilliant addition for a second playthrough.

    The Last of Us Part II is a triumph, and will be remembered for years to come as being one of the most exciting and controversial games of a console generation. The Last of Us Part II ushered in the era of serious narrative based story telling at the end of the PS3 era, and it's not lost its touch in the slightest. Right at the very end of the PS4 it swoops in and reminds all the wannabe's who is boss. Buy it, play it, love it, let yourself cry and feel and empathise with those you hate. It'll be worth it, I promise.

    Generally speaking, the game is good. Maybe it doesn't end up in the way the players want. On the contrary, it's a story of revenge. If Allie wins in the end, she may be waiting for revenge from more people. The story will never end

By no means is it a "bad game" but it is surely very flawed. The gameplay is almost the same with the first game, with added features that are useful and fun to use. The graphics, of course, are never a let down and is argued to be one of the best on this console's generation. The first Last Of Us if my favorite video game of all time.

The story itself and the choices made however are very questionable. The gameplay is heavily restricted by a corridor system that pushes you in one specific way, often preventing you to backtrack even the slightest bit. Often I would accidentally go through a point of no return before fully exploring / looting the area before. I would have to reload a previous save and replay that part in order to not miss out on loot / collectibles. This is very frustrating and feels very restricted / claustrophobic (in a bad way). In the second part the story goes on and on and feels pointless. The game wears you out with repetitive looting, non explorable corridors, constant tension, lack of music, bad pacing and horrible character choices. I thought of quitting the game a couple of times.
    In the end the storytelling is very engaging and gripping nonetheless. This game has a weird mixture of things I love deeply as well as things I hate just as much.

If this story had been about other characters in the same world it would have been a good story but since it, about Ellie, Abby, and Joel I feel cheated out of the story that was portrayed in trailers and set up at the end of the first game. Some of the best parts of this game are the flashbacks where we see Ellie and Joel grappling with Joel's betrayal of Ellie's trust. In these scenes, the masterpiece of the first game shines and I just wish the whole game focused on that story instead of what we got.

    Para las personas que les gustan los jueguitos, quizás sepan que este ha causado mucha discusión entre fans y entre medios. Salio el 19 de junio y yo lo esperaba con gran animo, sin embargo por noticias antes de su lanzamiento y viendo el manejo en los medios y compañía casi no lo compro, aunque decidí que iba a pasar un rato agradable y dije "al carajillo pillo" (si, así dije) y decidí comprarlo day one (ya estaba preparado desde meses para dicha inversión así que "que diantres"). En resumen y sin llorar: Es tu tiempo y es tu dinero, si eres gamer de los de a deveritas deveritas y no eres niño rata, debes tenerlo en tu colección ALGÚN DÍA (cuando baje de precio, como dije, ES TU DINERO Y ES TU TIEMPO), si te gustó el gameplay del 1, seguro te gustara este, es mucho mejor, CASI NIVEL METAL GEAR SOLID V, asi de bueno es, y sumale los mas impresionantes gráficos, escenarios animaciones, etc. BOOM!). La historia? aaa la historia, es muy atrevida, se deja caer la greña con todo, estructural-mente y en actuaciones es brillante AUNQUE DEBO ADMITIR QUE A VECES LLEGA A SER NO MUY PLACENTERA O INCLUSO CUESTA TRABAJO ENCONTRARLE SENTIDO PERO SI TIENE, USEN SU CABEZOTA. Ciertas decisiones perjudicaron mi experiencia NO EN SI DE LOS LEAKS O EL FINAL (aunque tienen que ver), en verdad todo eso no diré que fue lo máximo pero no tuve ningún problema con ellos, especialmente porque ya iba preparado PISIcologicamente para el madrazo y esos puntos en la historia fueron ejecutados muy valientemente, fue más bien el desarrollo del juego, empieza no en un 10 de 10 sino en un 11 de 10 y con el gameplay, atmosfera y el progreso llega a ser un 12 de 10, y después como a la mitad pasa algo no tanto tanto así en la historia (aunque es la causa) sino más bien en el desarrollo del juego que por lo menos a mi me hizo sentir en un punto de "ir cuesta arriba" porque mucho buen avance que ya tenias ahora cambia y debes mejorar más, es una perspectiva diferente que hay que ser sinceros todos pensamos que odiaríamos, incluido yo, Y FUI EL MAS SORPRENDIDO al darme cuenta que fue bien contado y me hizo sentir cositas que no pensé que sentiría (awwww) sin embargo para ese punto se había vuelto un 7 de 10 y poco a poco conforme transcurría llego a ser un 8 de 10 (y hay al menos un par de momentos en los que llega a ser de nuevo un 11 de 10), LO CUAL ES SORPRENDENTE PORQUE MUCHAS COSAS IMPRESIONANTES Y FREGONAS LAS PUSIERON EN ESA PARTE Y LEVANTO MACHIN, peeeeeero esa decisión en el juego, aunque narrativa-mente brillante, si me hizo sentir algunas cosas negativas de las cuales destacare solo dos: Se volvió más cansado avanzar al punto que ya deseaba que terminara el juego porque todo el impulso del inicio sentí que se perdió, MÁS PORQUE EMPIEZA ESPECTACULAR TAL Y COMO EL MARKETING LO PROMETÍA y después lo que incluyen no es malo como tanto temíamos, de hecho (aunque usted no lo crea) es muy muy bueno pero no tiene tanto octanaje o mas bien FEELING como la primer mitad de este juego, allí sentí el bajón y por eso mismo la segunda razón es que al final ténes una experiencia objetivamente de 9 de 10 pero por alguna extraña razón se siente nuevamente como un 7 de 10, y eso si lo aprecias como el genio con cerebro puti-inteligente que soy yo. Mi primera vuelta la hice en 44 hrs (si, me tome el tiempo de explorar, analizar y pasteurizarlo todo). Por ultimo, me rei mucho de los memes de golf y todavía hay telenovela/drama entre el estudio que lo hizo, la compañía que lo publico, los medios y los fans y eso me divierte mucho y también hay que ver las cosas como son, volvemos a lo mismo, SI ERES GAMER DE LOS GUAPOS si o si tienes que jugarlo pero es tu tiempo y es tu dinero así que esperate tantito porque nadie en realidad le sobra el tiempo o el dinero cuando lo que falta realmente es DESEO, asi que espero que estas palabritas levanten un poquillo el deseo, ya que dinero y tiempo no esperen mucho.

    Absolutely unforgettable. An overwhelming, utterly singular experience. I absolutely loved the original but they have surpassed it here in part 2 in every way. I cannot for the life of me figure out what some folks are complaining about, but I'll leave that alone I guess.

    Absolutely unforgettable. An overwhelming, utterly singular experience. I absolutely loved the original but they have surpassed it here in part 2 in every way. I cannot for the life of me figure out what some folks are complaining about, but I'll leave that alone I guess.
    At the risk of falling prey to recency bias, this might be the best game I've ever played. It is certainly unlike any game I can recall, even its predecessor. I don't know if it makes any sense, but I was so spellbound at times I felt like I was playing in VR even though I wasn't. The story is incredibly compelling (and yet so painful), the attention to detail is staggering, the characters voiced so wonderfully well that every story beat lands like a ton of bricks.
    I run out of superlatives. The environments are difficult to believe for current gen, and the sense of immersion in this ruined world with its deeply damaged characters is almost overpowering. My only real critique of this game is that it verges at times on overkill, by which I mean there is sometimes too much of everything, and the game shouts at times where it have whispered. Having said that, this feeling is possibly a result in part of my playing on survivor, so YMMV.
    On a more general note, I am very grateful to everyone involved in this game for the bravery they showed in the writing of this story. There are no compromises here, no laziness or fan-service. The result is extraordinarily painful at multiple points yes, but it is also that rarest of things, a narrative that is as moving as any film or novel I've ever experienced, asking probing and often unwelcome questions about the way we judge others and are deeply invested in our own righteousness. I hope, in time, to see part 3 in some form. Thank you, TLOU!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My first playthrough of TLOU2, I would have given this game a 6/10, but just finishing my second playthrough I give the rating above, an 8/10.

    First of all, the graphics, acting, and gameplay is an amazing part of this game. Some points I just stared at the beauty of the graphics that this game offers. It makes it feel so real and jaw-dropping. I hope they remaster this game for the PS5.

    Naughty Dogs displays very strong actions to kill off Joel in the first 2 hours. As a lover of the first game, I was in shock to see the protagonist die like that, but I realized Joel's actions in the first game, had consequences. The next about 10ish hours, we play as Ellie going through Seattle to revenge Joel's death, and when it reaches its climax, we replay the days in Seattle but through Abby, who killed Joel to revenge her father's death by Joel. Mad that we have to play as her, I continued, to see where Naughty Dog is trying to do with this approach. Throughout playing as Abby, they didn't develop the story surrounding Abby and her friends, the WLF, the Scars, etc. The pacing could have been better and maybe that could be a DLC in the future. In the end, Ellie doesn't kill her, spares her life, even though Ellie travels hundreds of miles from Jackson to Santa Barbara which confuses me so much. But in the end, explains a very powerful message that only my second playthrough made me realize.

    Ellie finally tries to move on from this whole revenge thing and takes in what it caused when she wanted her revenge. Dina and JJ are gone somewhere, Jesse died, relationship with Tommy, her mental state and more. Everyone wanted a good ending for Ellie, but to take in all the stuff we have done in the TLOU2, killing hundreds of people, will not bring Joel back. So at least Ellie is ready to move on and leaving everyone behind in the past (Why she left Joel's guitar).

    In the end, this is not a terrible game, but not a 10/10 game. Definitely could have been a masterpiece game but has shown a good message. I hope Naughty Dog creates a part 3 in the future, I can't see an end to this series yet, Ellie's story must continue!

    The production quality is by far the highest of any video game that's been released so far. Anyone denying this is delusional, frankly. I thought the story was fantastic and well done, but I can certainly understand that others didn't feel that way. But the people giving this 0/10 are childish idiots. Yes, I'm probably talking about you who's reading this right now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its clear that many of these reviews are false. You cant rate a game on day 1 without having played it, which is silly.

    My take on The Last of Us Part 2. The game is brutal and unforgiving which shows how revenge can destroy both parties. The characters are all broken by their experiences which makes the games softer moments all the better. You find yourself looking at it from a skewed perspective for a time only to have the carpet firmly pulled out from under you, taking you out your comfort zone. The characters are well envisioned and written great. You understand their motivatilns whether or not you agree with them. Their justifications for horrific actions is purely to satisfy the guilt they feel. However, the realisation that they are slowly turning into monsters sets in and perhaps this can be seen as a redemption. I am reminded of Game of Thrones to a degree. Jame Lannister was reviled for his actions. Yet, in the later story, he realises the he had been manipulated by Cersei and wished to make amends of sorts. When I began playing as Abby, this is what came to mind. I felt thatI realised that, regardless of her actions, we hd no understanding of her motivations. Ellie cannot see past the death of Joel and neither Abby nor the rest of her crew explain why they sought revenge. And for that, Ellie is driven to chase them down and kill them for their transgression. I applaud Naughty Dog for taking risks and making something that is not another paint by numbers sequel you see so often today.

    The acting is great I don't think one person in the whole game felt lifeless. Even the nameless soldiers who seem to be everywhere have personalities which make them more than just cannon fodder. The relationships that each character has feels real and this is only improved by the amazing performances. Ellie and Dina's budding relationship is turbulent and not without grief. But what relationship in the apocalypse is going to be perfect? I love that Ashely Johnson and Sgabnon Woodward seemed so natural that it was realistic and not forced in any way. Is the story original? No its not. Revenge tales are 10 a penny. But, the originality notwithstanding, the story has been told well and didnt leave anything to the imagination.

    However, i am not without some gripes. I feel that the story rushed a little at the start. I wasn't really able to enjoy some time with adult Ellie before everything went to hell. Similarly I feel that this is the story best left to the third game in the series, but I cannot fault Naughty Dog for going the direction they did. Gameplaywise, there is little difference. While this is not necessarily bad I felt that perhaps changing up the gameplay a bit more would have been a good idea. There is little innovation to speak of here. All in all The Last of Us Part 2 is a brutal and emotional journey that explores the nature of revenge and its effects on those around you. With only a small amount of gripes I feel that this is a great way for Naughty Dog to close off this generation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first half of the game (where you play for Elli) is very good. But the second half (Abby) is so-so. You play as a character who killed the protagonist of the first part. You just hate yourself. And it takes a living to play. It was necessary to fix up so that we played for Abby only at the beginning of the game. Just to show who she is and what she wants. I know that in the second half of the game they wanted to show Abby as a character, so that we penetrate her by the end of the game, but Naughty Dog did not succeed. Everyone criticizes the fact that Joel did not die “heroically”. So this is the meaning of the game, to show that in this cruel world not everyone dies heroically and that not everything always goes according to plan. Expand

Realmente este juego lo odiaras unicamente si al terminarlo sigues odiando a abby y no estuviste de acuerdo con la muerte de joel. Pero yo como dije antes si estoy de acuerdo con la muerte de joel, esta entre nos muestra la evolucion de ellie y de lo que conlleva la venganza.

    I'm going to preface this with the fact that I'm a big fan of the original and that I don't agree with almost all of the backlash this game has gotten.

    GAMEPLAY: If you enjoyed the gameplay of the original you will definitely enjoy it in this game. Combat feels visceral and tense. Weapon variety is excellent and there are many ways to handle combat situations without feeling like too
    I'm going to preface this with the fact that I'm a big fan of the original and that I don't agree with almost all of the backlash this game has gotten.

    GAMEPLAY: If you enjoyed the gameplay of the original you will definitely enjoy it in this game. Combat feels visceral and tense. Weapon variety is excellent and there are many ways to handle combat situations without feeling like too many. The stealth mechanics work well and don't feel as tedious as in some other games. Being found out by an enemy isn't the end of the world and if you are quick and clever you can go back to hiding. (NOTE* I played on normal difficulty and found that in some cases I had more crafting supplies then I needed. If you are experienced with this style of game and are looking for a challenge you may want to bump up the difficulty level)

    ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere was incredibly well done. Individual chapters each feel unique and have their own style to them. Everything from visual cues and sound really help to immerse you in this treacherous world you are exploring. Trying to sneak up on a clicker in a dark room is just as tense and controller gripping as it was in the first game.(also I know graphics aren't everything but man is this game stunning to look at.

    ENEMIES: Enemies are well done both infected and human. There is enough variety in the infected that they are interesting and difficult to encounter. The human enemies also feel a lot more genuine and seem to have more human-like reactions then I have seen in any third-person-shooter.

    COLLECTIBLES: I don't normally enjoy collectibles in games but I actual found myself actively hunting them out here and getting a rush each time I found one. At least for the first half, I didn't have the same excitement for the second half of the game.

    STORY: As I said I am a big fan of the first game and I think that the story felt like a natural and well done continuation of character arcs and themes from the first game. When new characters were introduced I found myself hesitating a bit to warm up to them due to certain story moments but as I spent more time with them and they revealed more about themselves I began to see them as more well rounded and those character arcs were something I really admired by the end of the game.

    I found the themes of the perpetual cycle of violence and how the "othering" of our fellow man not only dehumanizes them but also dehumanizes us to be really clear and powerful throughout the game.

    CRITIQUES: While I largely enjoyed most of this game I do have some criticisms. It feels like sometimes the "gut punch" moments of the story are stacked a little too much to the point where they begin to lose some of their impact and you begin to numb to the pain of the characters. This is especially true with the amount of physical punishment that gets dished out.

    A moment at the end of the game felt a bit awkward and while I don't wish they had changed the ending I wish they would have changed how the ending came about to make it fit more with the established character arcs and themes.

    This is more subjective but as I noted I never really felt like I was low on equipment past the early game which I think would have helped with tension of the game if resources had been harder to find.

    Also a gameplay transition in the middle of the game felt a bit jarring and perhaps could have been handled a bit differently.

    Overall I really enjoyed my experience with TLoU2 and it was a game I would think about afterwards and a gameplay loop I was excited to jump back into when I wasn't playing. If you were a fan of the original and are open to the idea of it's gamplay and themes being carried by new characters I would definitely recommend it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't think it is a bad game and honestly the worst part is that it is too short. Considering that is a sequel, it is difficult for the gamer to empathize with Abby. The story could be better, do that we have been waiting 5 years for a great story. Losing Joel at the begging is something that the gamer can't deal with and that's why we expect more from Ellie during the whole story.
    Graphics, BSO and the gameplay are great for PS4 pro and HR tv. I also expected more from the end, as having a face to face super deep conversation (Abby and Ellie) or to know more from Ellie's new life. I have been waiting 20 minutes for the final credits and we deserved a final scene.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game could've been so much more, it had so much potential and unfortunately just missed the mark.

    The visuals of the game, graphics, world building, the tiny stupid little details that make all the difference are absolutely on point, the new variations and behaviours of the infected is intense, the stalkers in the school and the rat king were some of the most intense game play moments I've had in a long time, the seraphites had such an interesting and different aura surrounding then with all the whistles as they hunt you. All of this, was absolutely fantastic, and were worth waiting for. And the fact the game released perfectly polished seems to be a rare gem in this day and age.

    Unfortunately though, the story itself leaves alot to be desired, the way the game was advertised was that we would get another game with us following our favourite father/daughter duo take on the world, and that wasn't the case, disappointing yes but not a deal breaker, losing Joel, I could've been alot more ok with that if it was done the right way, it just seems to have been done for shock value, and the whole game seemed to be, Ellie bad, Abby gooood, even down to the smallest things, Ellie kills dogs (ND said we wouldn't have to which was **** ), Abby plays with dogs, specifically the one Ellie kills you have no choice at all but to kill thanks to the quick time event. But I digress. Just to get this out of the way, I have no problem at all with the LGBTQ+ characters, I had no problem with Ellie finding herself in the first games dlc, so why would I be negative about it now, Abby being an absolute unit is not a bad thing, she's a soldier, so yeah she works out, alot so she can be fit and fight, and it also gives her an outlet, cool, it doesn't make me feel anything negative, Lev being trans is not a bad thing he was also an interesting character, bit the ones who base Thier opinions on this stuff bing negative are just dicks, end of.

    I think realistically, I would've preferred not to play as Abby in the main game, as a dlc absolutely, I think that could've worked but have it from where the first game ends, where father dies and follow her through her transformation, with her journey to Washington etc.

    Not sure what else to say really, I loved the game play, how it looked, ND are fantastic at that stuff, unfortunately the story was just poorly written, and expected even worse. I expected more, we deserved more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us 2 is probably one of my favorite games to date. I was in love with The Last Of Us when it first came out and then after hearing about this I was astatic. The game had a great story and great area design/build. I also like the twist where we play as Abby, as it gives us the perspective of another character and can completely change the way we feel about the characters we have been playing to begin with. Although the ending may have been a bit sour to me, I still find the game overall amazing and an absolute must play for anyone who wants a good story telling game. Expand

    So far, I thought the gameplay was really good, as well as the graphic, animation, and environments; though the story can be controversial, but personally I thought the story was pretty good, definitely not as air tight than the first one but it can still stand on its own

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "See, there was a sequel. Wasn't as good." Like many of my peers, I was excited about the TLOU2. Then ND's crunch horror stories emerged. Then the leak happened. Then I rented the game. Then my desire to finish became quite the struggle. I have no idea why reviewers are giving such glowing reviews to TLOU2 when there are such glaring issues to behold.

    Of course the graphics are 10 out of 10 quality. It's a given. ND did an amazing job. Even the most hardcore of PC only gamers have to admit TLOU2 looks amazing. Sound quality is amazing as well. The clickers, infected, voice acting, environments, gunfire, and animals sound incredible and clear. Again, ND excels at this. But that's where the greatness of TLOU2 ends.

    Gameplay is painfully average with no fleshed out additions. You sneak, you scavenge, you shoot, you craft. That's it. Its gameplay feels more like TLOU1.5 rather than it having any meaningful improvements. They have a jump button now. So what? The way characters' jump is both humorously parody and unrealistic. I can upgrade and improve my weapons like I can in a dozen other games (eg: Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Division 2, Far Cry 4). Dodging is a welcome addition, but when your AI partners don't aid you (and further break immersion when enemies should blatantly see them while you're stealthing) it becomes a mixed bag of reliability. What fundamental changes have been done to help garner perfect review scores?

    Oh, it has to be the story. The lazily written, poorly formed story. Does giving veteran characters utter stupidity and naivety that they didn't have before pass for perfection? What about that really early death that felt undeserved and had zero context? Or how about playing ten hours through a game with one character only to play another character whom a lot of us don't care about for an additional similar length of time? How about shoving down our throats how wonderful this new character is and that we should care about her? What about completely destroying a character people do care about to repeat a common trope in pop culture that "revenge is bad, m'kay"?

    Yes, the story sucked. Tied together with coincidence and irrational character moments, TLOU2 seems to go out of its way to emulate The Walking Dead television series. When the first game had such strong writing and characters, the sequel is a shadow of TLOU. To add further insult to injury, the marketing from this game was manipulative. Changing character models, making it seem like Joel was with Ellie in Seattle, and claiming that Ellie is the only playable character in the game makes this experience worse.

    To ND leadership I say shame on you. Not only for misleading gamers with your ads and comments, but for your despicable crunch practices. Your developers deserve better. They work too damn hard for that kind of treatment. Gamers deserve better. What we PlayStation owners have enjoyed from exclusives are single-player games set in amazing worlds filled with rich lore and fleshed out characters. That includes Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us.

    TLOU2 is one of the most disappointing and underwhelming games I've played in this console generation. This is not the way to help bookend the PS4. Here's hoping that Ghost of Tsushima will prove to be a better game worth your time and 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]
