The editors didn't like
Nonlinear narrative
Bloated gameplay
Predictable gameplay
Sad but deserved ending
Listening mechanic seems finicky
Occasionally too graphically badass for the PS4
Combat feels awkward
Violence goes too far
Story and characters just don't hit
Much of the violence you inflict goes unexamined
Which makes the gruesomeness of it just unpleasant
Looting and collectible hunting can disrupt the pacing
And the presence of collectibles doesn't always fit the situation well
Narrative strain
A narrative not for the weak of heart
Bloated by the sheer density of content and locations to explore
Resolution seems no higher than 1440P30 even on the PS4 Pro

The Last of Us Part II tells a deeply upsetting, bold, and powerful story that is sadly held back by painful pacing issues. The game's structure not only holds it back narratively but also from a gameplay perspective as well. Still, Naughty Dog's PS4 swan...
This is one of Sony's best titles yet and a clear competitor for game of the year. Even if you hadn't played the original, this deserves to be in your library...

Abstract: I needed to breathe for a moment after experiencing The Last of Us Part II before I go ahead and play a second run-through of the game. The game plays more on story and emotion, with horror and combat coming in second. It's violent and at times emotionall...
