This is spoiler free review, as an asian chinese malaysian that is in love with The Last of Us part 1, part 2 is like a" let's take all you know and love and throw it into the dustbin" game. i'll cut to the chase
Pros : Combat is more refine.
Graphics are really good.
Character animation is top notch.
Better subversion of expectations than GOT season 8 and The last Jedi
Cons : Story is so bad that calling it bad is a understatement .
Whatever left wing political agenda you can think of, it's inserted in there in your face.
The game forgets about all the important things from part 1 eg - Ellie is the vaccine plot.
You don't get a proper closure, just emptiness and a lot of WTFs.
No payoff, characters inside make decisions that can make your head spin.
All expectations are subverted ( some might think this is a pro, not me).
Mediocre : Sounds and music can be better. ( part 1 does it a bit better )
Combat is better but not as good as recent AAA titles.
Repetitive game-play.
Closing:
I am severely disappointed even-tho i really try to like it.
I am just a normal person who wish to enjoy games as an escape from reality.
I will vote with my wallet carefully next time.
I wish I could give it a 2 or 3 in the score but the story just kills every single cell in me to give it anything positive.
The End, thanks for taking your time to read this review.
