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
One of the best looking games this generation,Gripping story with complex characters,Stealth-based but guns blazing is an option,
Slow to start,
With so much pressure on the sequel, fans are expecting big things from The Last of Us Part 2 and Naughty Dog has delivered. People are at the heart of the story that's set against the backdrop of a bleak and beautiful post-apocalyptic America, and it del...

Powerful, provocative storytelling, Fiercely reactive combat drenched in tension, Ingenious level design grounded in a breathtakingly realised universe
A narrative so ambitious it occasionally loses focus
Naughty Dog's PS4 swansong is an astonishing, absurdly ambitious epic that goes far and beyond what we could have imagined for a sequel to an all-time classic...

The Last of Us, Part II outshines the original in practically every way. The game takes level design, combat, stealth, AI and interactive narrative and uses each element to elevate the other.Unpredictable, intelligent and self-aware, this game seems to pr...
Abstract: ‘Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” So goes the saying popularly (if spuriously) attributed to Confucius – a proverbial truth that The Last of Us Part II explores, unflinchingly and sometimes gruesomely, for 30 hours. It is diffic...

Abstract: Emerald city blues.Can a slick, mainstream action game really reckon with the violence that drives it? The answer is yes - messily, but powerfully.The most common joke about the difficulty video games have reconciling their storytelling impulses with...
Even from just two hours of play time, we can see that The Last of Us Part 2 is a darker, grittier game than its predecessor.It gives Ellie a lot of new abilities to master, but always feels familiar and intuitive - enabling fans to pick it up immediately...
Combat more fluid with more elements, Pockets of exploration, with plenty to collect, More upgrade options
Wish we could explore more
The Last of Us 2 doesn't seem to be simply a rehash of its predecessor. Instead it elevates the original formula, adding some small but vital features, while keeping the elements that made us fall in love with the original...
A deep story that builds upon the original, Ellie's story and the tales of those around her are all touching and nuanced, Combat is viciously satisfying, Sets a new benchmark for diverse representation in gaming blockbusters,
Small parts of campaign could have been paced more gracefully, Certain villains could have benefitted from further development,
From this chapter alone, The Last of Us 2 is an accomplished sequel in every regard. It feels marvellous to play, and doubles down on the thematic elements that helped the original shine. Ellie is a stunning, nuanced lead who exhibits far more emotional d...
Abstract: I've rewritten this sentence five times at this point. When I first got into this gig of sharing my thoughts on video games, I was told to never start a review by discussing the actual writing process. And yet I can't think of anything else. I just finish...
