The Last of The Last of Us on the PlayStation 4.

A word of warning: this may be the longest review yet. Before we get into this review, the plot for the sequel to The Last of Us was leaked online, which revealed major plot details and pivotal cutsce… Read more

Great

I've always been apprehensive about talking about The Last of Us. While it was garnering critical and commercial acclaim, I was wondering what the big deal was. The gameplay is pretty poor, the story… Read more

Wallowing in the misery of revenge, blood and gore

The Last of Us Part 2 is a big budget AAA sequel to a game that didn’t need one and features a brutal story that doesn’t know how to end. The graphics are highly polished with visuals out of a blockbu… Read more

Nemesis

As if to confirm our species’ penchant for irrational hate it was only a few short days after finishing that I learnt of the death threats sent to Laura Bailey, one of the principal voice actors in Th… Read more

The Last of Us Part II

Really a special experience and the result of an incredible vision and attention to detail. The standard to which this game is being held by some gamers is ludicrous. Incredibly dark and difficult to… Read more

Missing the mark on story and gameplay

I don't write reviews often, but playing this was a chore for the most part. The story-telling was heavy-handed and at times I would say somewhat nonsensical. The more "open" world feel was to the gam… Read more

An Unneeded Sequel - But a Welcome One

In my opinion, TLOU was a perfect game that never needed a sequel, it is without a doubt one of my favourite games ever made. Consequently I was very skeptical of TLOU2, but for the most part was prov… Read more

The Last of Us Part II's best lesson is not one on the human condition, but on unhealthy fandoms and expectations

This review contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part II. To discuss The Last of Us Part II today is to wade into one of the most toxic landscapes in games, conceived and operated by some of this hobb… Read more

The Last of Us Part 2 - Spoiler Review

When "Part 2" is added on to a sequel title as opposed to a sequential number many begin to wonder why it would alter the convention of just slapping a number onto the title and giving it a basic labe… Read more

The Last of Us 2 is not the catharsis we need. *Spoilers*

United States Circa 2020 The Last of Us 2 closes out the PS4/XBoxOne era with a whimper. Naughty Dog is an overrated puppy mill in the 3rd-person action genre. There are glimpses of what the PS5 might… Read more

Perfectly Imperfect

The Last of Us Part II is an unapologetic emotional roller coaster from start to finish just like the first one was. The constant anxiety of what happens next, of where to go from here, of where the s… Read more

A huge disappointment...

This is going to be shorter than I'd like because the biggest issues I have is HOW the story is told not the content itself but how it's written. I can't go into it without spoilers which is a major p… Read more

would give 4.5 if possible

(almost) all the complaints about this game are about the story so at the end of the day you have to play it for yourself to see if the criticisms resonate with you. i found the story to be excellent,… Read more

Excellent from Beginning to End

The Last of Us 2 is a game that many people felt wasn't needed after the first game, myself included, but was pleasantly surprised that they improved over the first game in just about every way I can… Read more

The Last of Us Part II is an exhausting experience, mostly for the worse.

There were several parts of The Last of Us Part II where I thought that this had to be the end, right? Storylines were resolved, characters were redeemed, revenge had been enacted, and the story appea… Read more

A masterpeice

This game is a very strong follow uo to one of my favourite games of all time. Only real shame is how loud my ps4 fans were, but the gameplay was smooth on the base PS4. The story flows very well and… Read more
