    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics and improved combat is all this game has. In the beginning we are lead to believe we will go on this harsh journey to bring justice to beloved Joel, just to forced to play as the insufferable villain and then forced to let them go after a terrible flashback story of the character that could of been written out all together. It seems the writers really were being lazy on this one cause the whole story doesnt make any sense. Why did the antagonist linger on Joel for this long instead of surviving and how come they survive the long journey when many parish. Why are the infected treated like such a side piece and not a main enemy. The characters they feel so hollow inside and out. Even playing the game feels like some cheap chinese knock off. Honestly if only Joel was around longer in the game or at least died in the end then it would be okay. Gonna never jump the gun on buying a new game a again… Expand

    With a terrible story, is the gameplay any good? In my opinion, no. It's just a slight upgrade from the first game which had utterly boring wave after wave of enemy stealth combat. Here, it's way more of the same. This time, the combat goes for entire sections without any witty or deep scenes. The only thing you get is pure torture p*rn.

    Buy this game if you want game developers to make you feel like a bad person.    … Expand

    Most people would go at length to explain how much they hate or think this game sucks... but not me. This game only deserves a single sentence one that sums up everyone's thoughts on here, bar the greedy and the few who genuinely enjoyed this. This sentence being: "This does not, nor will it ever feel like a The Last Of Us game." That is what i feel about this game and that's that.

    Then the worst is I feel cheated the trailers promise a game about Ellie sadly half wave to the story that changes to Abby. Honestly I think if ND wanted to tell a story about vengeance they should have made Abby the main character from the get go and make her hate/kill someone else(Not Joel and Ellie) it wouldn’t have been that hard change it, Make it an anthology series, rather than use Ellie and Joel as Marketing just to destroy thier story    … Expand

    CONS: The father figure dying in a horrendous manner, murdered and LITERALLY spit on, but wait thats not all, they FORCE you to play his murderer for 10+ hours. Think about that, someone who creates this is definitely doing it on purpose to upset people. To get a reaction.

    "Look, you are bad, you killed Abby dog, Abby is good she likes Animals"

    This a good decision as I seemed to have managed to miss a lot of the developments from Part I that they had revealed in trailers and so when I was playing the game, it was full of twists and turns that I wasn't expecting.

    Upon playing The Last of us: Part II, I was thoroughly enjoying the entire first 'part' of the game and then when the other character became playable, I was in two minds. Firstly, the game seemed to be trying to teach me about the 'bad guy', and secondly, I didn't care about the 'bad guys' backstory etc. as they were the villain!

    After playing through the second part, when you're learning about this new character, I found myself moving my point of view, is our protagonist the villain?!

    The game seemed to be full of these moments where I had to question the characters actions and try to work out who's side I was actually on!

    At points, whilst learning about this new character, I felt bored and uninterested. Like I just wanted to return to the main characters story but over time, I realized why this was done this way and I could start to enjoy and appreciate the new characters back story being introducted.

    In few scenes within this game, I had to pause the game, find my wife where ever she was and tell her to come and look at the game as it was absolutely breathtaking. I played through on my PS4 Pro and this game alone made that purchase worthwhile. Truely a great way to showcase what the 4 year old console is still capable of. I experienced no stutters, no visual 'glitching', nothing. Whilst the PS4 was running loud, this was easily resolved by turning the sound up a little which certainly helped with the appreciation of a fantastic score and amazing sound.

    All in all, I feel that 85% of this game was absolutely a worth while extension to Ellie's story. The 15% is the left over from the feeling that I had early on in the second part where I felt, 'do I care? No!' about the new character. This was short lived and I eventually came to the conclusion that yes, yes I do care.

    I would strongly recommend this to any PS4 owners that enjoyed The Last of us.

    To any new players! PLEASE play The Last of us: Part I first as I feel this is essential.    … Expand

Lo han politizado con el buenísimo y con lo políticamente correcto. Deciden acabar con un personaje entrañable sólo para hacer a Eli como principal. Es muy triste que las desarrolladoras de los juegos se dejen influir tanto por las masas y no por lo que piden sus clientes (jugadores). Han transformado a la dulce Eli en un marimacho que desprecia al hombre, y se nota mucho.

No character feels the same and all of them feel oddly parodic of how they'd usually be, the new characters fail to be interesting and provide zero incentive to push a plot ahead such as Abby defecting with a person she's barely shared enough time with to discard the feelings she has for those she spent years with, all of the WLF are very one sided and exist to be discarded while providing little to no substance and Ellie just seems out of character and like she's written by someone who has little knowledge on how she is, which funnily enough isn't the case. The combat fails to be innovative and feels like it's been plucked from the first game and the story has a lot of monotonous points as well as cheapest transitions I've seen in writing (e.g. Time skips to avoid telling a story) and ultimately misses the mark with the moral the story tries to tell when never once is the motive of revenge questioned.

    The hypocrisy and attack on anyone who does not like this game is absolutely astonishing. I have never in my life seen a game so protected by the media or by social media giants who ban people for their opinions. This is absolute madness.

    I give credit to the games graphics and sound, they are nice yes, but everything else is horrible. Firstly they kill Joel like a dog at the beginning of the game and then the rest of the game is a fight between a lesbian and a woman who looks like a man hulk. There is no progression on the story or the virus or the world around them. It's like a soap opera where people are cheating on each other, sleeping with each other and killing people from the opposite faction.

    Firstly why is Ellie an anorexic? how does she go toe to toe with a giant body builder? WTF? she takes punches to the face that would knock out any person, this is just so unrealistic. Why did they make Ellie look ugly in the later years? she looks like an activist and does nothing else worthwhile in the game. The ending is trash! I under stand if the game was going for an empire strikes back vibe, but it just sucked completely. It makes me never want to play another game by naughty dog again!

    "A bigot sandwich!" really? Everyone already accepts LGBTQ community, but it seems that the devs want to place these characters on a giant soap box just to declare their sexual orientation to the world wtf enough already. This game is an epic fail and only exposes how corrupt the games industry has become!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the biggest disappointments of all time. Game of thrones season 8 storytelling, gameplay honestly isnt much different from the first and yes that is important. People say “nobody plays for the gameplay” my ass. Look at death stranding it had a amazing story but aint nobody give a crap cause its gameplay was boring. This isnt boring gameplay wise but it is pretty bland. I gave it a 1 instead of a 0 because at least the graphics are significantly improved and hell, pretty groundbreaking. Its a beautiful game visually. They sacrificed everything about the game in order to force abby on everyone. It was even advertised as a joel and ellie game again and he dies 15-20 minutes in. They altered game material to show joel in the trailers but it was false advertising as they weren’t actually real, just changed scenes to make you believe this game is about joel and ellie when its really you playing a majority as this new character who is one of the most unlikeable protagonists in history. No amount of story saves the game either, the ending is horrible, the reasoning for actions is terrible. They use the cliche overused revenge is bad and “maybe we are the monsters after all” plotlines and all that moral high ground crap thats always used. Cause life always plays out like perfect karma right? The story is like luke blowing up the death star and then one of the stormtroopers onboard it had a kid who comes and kills luke instantly in the following movie for revenge. Joel even saves the new characters life right before she kills him and she doesnt even ask for his side of the story (the characters name is abby but i am saying new character so even people who havent played can tell who i am referring too). Honestly dont even want to give it a 1 but i feel like it gets that much cause of graphics and smooth unbuggy gameplay. It has good animations as well. The mocap is really well done. But metacritic is deleting low score reviews because of bombing even though people are bombing for a reason. Yet the people counter bombing or just straight up fanboy 5 star reviews all can stay. Its straight up altered scoring at that point. If the peoples opinion as a total doesnt matter then what is a point of user scores. Oh, user scores matter if they are good for AAA games. Unless its something like fallout 76 or anthem. They let people be honest on those. But not this lmao. Fanboys run the site and only let it be unbiased if it goes along with their views.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will only talk about what "strong" Naughty Dog

    "Attention to detail"
    • To put the activated Molotov cocktail in the bag is strong!
    • The crossbow is stronger than the bow, but the bow kills with a single blow, the crossbow does not.
    • Use arrows from a corpse? You're kidding!
    • To craft the ammo? No problem!! To craft the arrows? What are you doing? (Abby)
    • I see arrows in the quiver of a dead NPC but I can't pick them up!
    • The invisible ally runs in the face of the enemy, all right.
    • The weapon does not jam or jam after water, moisture, dust, dirt! Perfectly!
    • There are no weapon parts in the car under the hood or in the trunk ? O_O
    • Feed your horses for a 3-day trip to Seattle? Much cooler to throw a ball to a dog!
    * Once activated, the generator runs forever
    • Special forces against knives!
    • You never will never fit through a huge gap that any human being could fit through!
    • Of course, not one car in a hundred has a drop of gas, and I have to go to a basement full of monsters!
    • Of course, my backpack won't hold more than two rounds of pistol ammo! But the flamethrower will fit perfectly!
    • Crawling through the ventilation system? It will break and you will fall-always.
    • Explore - > Shoot - > Talk, and that's it.
    • Containers are the engine of gameplay! Have you played portal games? What are you complaining about?
    • Team-killing with your partner in agreement? Huh? Are you in call of duty?
    • Using your own Pets by special forces (abby) - why?!
    • Living in a strict religious family, where disobedience can be punished without thinking, begins to shake the rights, because she is a boy? Are you serious? at 10 years old? Do you have children? (how dare I, right?)
    • The sect lives on an island, why don't we control the coast to isolate them from the mainland? What for? we can just walk through the woods and die from their traps!
    • What is the essence of the sect (scars)? Maybe I should have made another third of the game about them? We are no longer interested, so why not learn their difficult fate?
    • Why are the problems of fungal people not solved? I want to know what gender they identify with!
    • Judging by the first scenes for Abby, she is very cool to her father. However, I spent a lot of time in training and fighting. Conclusion - the present of its environment it is the soldiers. However,when a sniper kills her friend in front of her, she just throws him into the water! (special forces can't swim what are you doing)Where was the Golf club?
    • The commander of the military special forces, releases a whole squad (15 people) in the winter, in an unknown territory with a large uncontrolled city, to kill the offender of ten years ago at one of the soldiers of the squad. They also went to kill every scar that killed the father/mother of any soldier? What happens to the game logic?
    • Joel from one standing on the road robber knows how to understand that this is an ambush, but the phrase "I have a lot of friends here" near the places of your patrol, where no one should be, does not cause any questions (with its kind of special forces especially)

    Some strange "details"

Não adianta tentar taxar as pessoas de machistas ou taxistas, a crítica não está na fato da Ellie ser lésbica, ela poderia fazer uma festa com 7 homens que não mudaria nada para mim, a grande questão aqui é a forma com que a Naughty dog destruiu o Joel sem mais nem menos e ainda fez com que jogassemos com a Abby para "sentir a experiência de um novo ângulo".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was highly anticipated by everyone and without a doubt it should be because of how great the first game is. However, because of that big burden and expectation it is carrying, it is also a curse for the game. Players expected so much and rightfully so we should be! However, when you play the game you will see a big different from part 1 to 2. Below is my pros and cons.
    Pros
    Voice Acting – amazing, I think this is where they hit the mark.
    Music – a good balance of music and soundtrack used. (Not the best but good for the game)
    Sound effects – I feel it used right elements to bring the game to life with its sound effects
    Graphics – this is kind of mixed for me. At one point it looks amazing with facial expression on point, but another looks dull, lightning is bad, part 1 looks more beautiful and some motion capture is stiff. At best I can honestly say its just plain good and not great, still get a positive for me.
    Cons
    Story – This is were ND blew this game, I know that they were successful in shock value. I was shocked to know that Joel died but man it was executed poorly. Look at how Aerith died in FF7, the music, the sacrifice the pay off, it is all there. But TLOU 2 just killed a main character with no pay off and no meaning behind it. I am OK with killing Joel but do it the right way like a sacrifice for the better good or something. He is out of character; everyone is out of character. I understand why a lot of people put 0/10 as score because the first game is full of story while this one just fell flat.
    Characters – Dull, unengaging, out of character. Some parts are cool, but it will not make the whole game for me.
    Gameplay – it is OK at best but the reason why I put it here is because it is the same old gameplay. Minor changes that is boring. The last “boss fight” does not feel like any boss fight. This game is not revolutionary, and we have a lot of zombie games out there, RE 2 is whole lot better than this. TLOU distinction from other games was the story but sadly this was ruined. I like the guitar playing though I find it cool.
    Bugs – Too many bugs for it to be a masterpiece, this I cannot understand why the hell it got amazing scores. Bugs like missing character models and teleporting characters… for a AAA game it’s a shame for it to have this.
    Total for me 2/10 – This game fails so bad in story telling that all the good points will be forfeited. Some might still like it specially those who has no attachment to the first game but even if you did not pay the first game you will be dumbfounded by their decision and character choices. Not a fun game, just all hype and big disappointment.
    Stay away from the game. If you want to play it, rent or buy it second hand.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I highly anticipated this game. I think to this day that TLOU 1 is simply one of the top 3 games ever made. The gameplay was simple but felt not at any point boring. The graphics were astonishing and the story was perfect from the beginning till the end. One of the few games I really shed some tears. The Last of Us 2 tries so hard to fit into its part one shoes that it lost the tone which made it so great. Some things are great like the graphics and motion capture are almost perfect. The linear lvl design is almost all the time great and the melee combat feels real. But there are things which are truly not good from a players standpoint. The standard AI feels sometimes more dumb than the first one, yes I know you can rank the difficulty up, but that only helps to a certain degree. I wished for more enemy diversity to be more precise the infected. It feels like, "just more of the same". And the last important point is the story. All the different emotions I felt in first few minutes into the first one where unbelievable. There was only one moment I felt something for any of the characters and that one was Joel. All the others even Elli felt like only driven by one emotion and my empathy for anyone was very limited. Everything in the story felt like such a generic revenge story and there are many games which did it better. I watched the ending in disbelieve and sat there for a minute and asked myself: "that was it?" After such a long time playing this game(the playing time was for me about 20-30h I am not sure right now) it didn´t felt satisfying. I am truly, truly heartbroken for how they decided to handle the story archs. Was it a bad game? No, from the gameplay standpoint I didn´t think so. Was it a good game? No, the story destroyed my expirience completely. The hole plot from the first is perfect. The second one feels like: "We have to put this theme on it, REVENGE, REVENGE, REVENGE. No other thing has a place in it." I will play the first one, again and again but this game is done for me. Sad but true...… Expand

    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.
