    I hope this whole situation proves once and for all that critics and game ,,jurnalists" are the last people you should be asking about their opinion on games.

    I'm deeply disappointed, this game was not made for the ones who played with it or love it, it was made to satisfy... who, exactly?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terrible story writing. This is a very shocking continuation to an amazing story. They disregarded everything that was good about the main characters from the first game, and painted Joel and Tommy as two idiots who made the stupidest mistakes that no veterans who survived the apocalypse for many years would do. The story simply gave Abby a plot armor, made everything flow in a way that fits her, and in the end you get forced to play as her and break Ellie mentally and physically. I give this story 1 of the two missing fingers out of 10. Expand

    The original The Last of Us game is a story about personal brokenness and loss, but also about a struggle for hope and connection despite it. This is shown in the bond between Joel and Ellie.

This is shown in the bond between Joel and Ellie. We see Joel slowly come to view her as a daughter, and Ellie eventually sees him as a father. The bleak journey they take to get to that point is worth it, because it forges a strong and believable connection that we all root for. Even at game's end, when questionable decisions are made, they are based upon that connection. The tragic ending makes us wonder how their relationship will be tested by the consequences, and what these two will do together in the future. We are still rooting for them!

    Sadly, The Last of Us Part II makes it clear very early on that it is done with the Joel/Ellie dynamic, at least in any positive or meaningful way. In its place, we are given a revenge mission with no chance of redemption. Unlike in Part I, there is no one to root for in this game. Our heroine is stripped of all likability, transformed into a rage-fueled murderer, occasionally breaking up the bloodlust with depression. Several new characters are introduced, but not given enough backstory or development for us to care about them, either. We are left with a collection of broken murderers who have lost nearly all positive personal connection in their lives. It's as if all the progress anyone made in Part I is completely reversed. Oddly enough, it seems that this sense of bleak hopelessness is somehow the point, as it is reinforced by a very unfulfilling conclusion. There is no reason for the journey, no 'ends to justify the means'. All that's left is a profound sense of loss for what could have been. This may be an okay concept for a 2hr film, but playing through hours and hours of it - paying to play it - feels torturous. Not to mention how much of a tonal shift it is for fans of the previous game; you'll probably enjoy this game more if you know very little of Part I. Of course, the acting, music, animation, sound design, etc. are all top tier, maybe the best ever in gaming. That's not an exaggeration, and it's the only reason I can't give this game any less than a 3. But this makes the storyline feel so much more disappointing. You can see how this team had all the talent/tools they needed to make an amazing game, but the soul was completely sucked out of it. What's left is a gilded vessel - pretty to look at, but ultimately, empty.

    Certain game mechanics are ok, but most stuff is just brought back from the first game. Unlike the first game, i feel no connection to ANY character in this game. Theyre very very bland. I dont even want to get started on the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute waste of time and money. They took everything the players loved about the first The Last Of Us and replaced with a pretentious storyline that contradicts itself. I'll explain this later so those who don't want to be spoiled (although you're not really missing anything good) can stop reading.

    The graphics are stunning and the gameplay is solid. Kudos to the people who worked on those. Unfortunately, graphics and gameplay won't be able to save The Last Of Us 2. Most of those who bought this game (including me) did it for the story, so it's no surprise that people are hating this game, since it lacks what we wanted the most: a good story.

    Mind you, good story doesn't mean happy ending. This game could be as dark as you could imagine and people would still love it if only it had a good story.

    The biggest difference I can appreciate between "The Last Of Us" and "The Last Of Us Part II" is it's tone. Not in the sense of the first one being about love and the second about hate, like Neil Druckmann suggested, but rather the first one being a mature, dark story, and the second one being a gruesome, edgy fanfiction written by a teenager in his/her interpretation of what horror means.

    Every time something bad happened to our protagonists, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at how hard Naughty Dog was trying to get emotional. They wanted us to feel sad, but the only thing they got from me was anger, then boredom, then anger, and finally, a feeling of "What the hell just happened?".

    If you're wondering whether you should play the game or not, I'd recommend you to get it on sale, or just ignore it exists. If you liked the first game, this one is going to be a tremendous letdown.

    SPOILERS FOR PART II:

    -The ending of Part II contradicts the entirety of the game. Supposedly, the game is triying to show us how revenge is a cycle that leads nowhere and it only causes more pain. However, the ending show us otherwise. Abby, who avenged her father, gets a second chance with the Fireflies and a new family. Ellie, who didn't avenge Joel, looses everything she fought for. No Joel, no Tommy, no Dina, no Jesse... nothing. She ends up alone, which was her biggest fear.
    If anything, this game shows us that trying to be morally superior to others only leads to a void in your life, and that, as much as it is "the right thing to do", nobody is going to be there to praise you for being politically correct.

I do not care for most of the characters because they were killed off just like that and brushed off easily. The gameplay did not change. Everyone is suddenly gay in the apocalypse. The revenge plot is overdone way too much. The use of cheap tactics to make you feel bad like killing animals and a pregnant woman sucks and is not original. Graphics and the sound design is the only thing good about this game. Expand

AfterThis was one of the games I have been really waiting for, after part 1 was so awesome and the time that was spent on development and the overwhelmingly great critics, hyped me even more. I even managed to stay away from spoilers and videos themed around them to be able to really get into the story again and instead played part 1 again, but as it turned out that was a huge mistake.... After being amazed by the graphics, already at the beginning the conversations felt kinda odd and pretty quickly I realized why the user scores turned out to be so bad. While the depth of the first story made the game so awesome it felt like a punch in the face, what you made of it and even more so how shallow and forgettable it was throughout the whole game. so my opinion:

    pro:
    -amazing graphics
    -the soundtrack that always contributed to the atmosphere

    con:
    -shallow story
    -shallow characters
    -amateur like writing in the dialogues
    -plot holes
    - gameplay

    Why do I put gameplay in con? Its basically the same as in part one, so its OK but thanks to the pure trash that is the story line, gameplay feels more and more tiresome throughout the game because I lost hope it will turn better. And why only one point? The game isn't worth what you have to pay for it!
    In a time where even small unknown studios bring out real masterpieces and even awesome graphics are a thing that you can get in early access games for 20 bucks on steam I expect a lot more for 65€! If I just wanted a game with good graphics and soundtrack most "walking simulators" on steam would have given me more for less money

As a huge fan of the last one, I still can’t believe I’ve been waiting years for this **** Joel was dead, Ellie lost everything in her life plus two fingers. This is just not the way to make your fans impressive. I probably will give this game an 8 , but as long as it’s the Last of Us, it will only deserve a 0 and a middle finger. By the way, what’s wrong with Naughty dog thinking players want to play Abby for 8 hours after she killed Joel?! It’s not enjoyable and I still want to get the revenge during every minute of it. The worst part is, Naughty dog took that decision from players and ‘help’ players choose the ‘right’ choice. Seriously, I don’t need your opinion, I just want to get the **** done.
    Anyway, I will definitely not buy the sequel (I really hope there is not).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, I thought The Last of Us Part II was not a very good game. I was a huge fan of The Last of Us on PS3, so the disappointment is really high for this sequel. That said, I'll talk about the positives first.

    Pros:
    I liked the game's graphics. They were amazing, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Also, the music is very good and the voice acting is top notch. While I like some of gameplay aspects, overall, I thought it was serviceable, so not really a pro but also not a con either.

    Cons:
    The story is absolutely atrocious. A lot of the story aspects, such as the storytelling and the execution of the story's ideas, killed any hope this game had for me from thinking this game is amazing. The story is a generic revenge plot that revolves around the "revenge is bad" trope that has been done many times in the past (more on this later). My biggest criticism of the entire game, from a story narrative standpoint, was the execution surrounding Joel's death. I have zero issue with Joel dying, but how he dies, considering how beloved he is as a character, is important and the story narrative completely discards Joel for no reason. Consider his murderer, Abby, is saved by Joel twice before Abby decides to murder him, it completely killed any chance of caring about the character development and backstory for Abby (more on this later). On that thought, Manny spitting on Joel's corpse was such an insult to his character. On the theme of character deaths, every single major death in the game is completely forgotten about as soon as they die, with the exception of Joel. When a major character dies, you never ever hear about them, by name, again for the remainder of the game. The character development for most of the characters in this game is virtually non-existent, including Ellie. They are exactly the same at the beginning of the game as they were at the end of the game. Now, let's talk about Abby, the most controversial character in The Last of Us Part II. Abby is my least favorite character and one of the biggest reason why this story sucks because the game's narrative required me to feel sympathetic for her for the entire backstory to work. I get her backstory that she's vengeful because Joel was responsible for her dad's death, but the game failed miserably to convince me to empathize with her. I still wanted her dead, even by the end of the game and getting all her backstory. Maybe it could have worked if Joel's death was done later and we got some backstory of Abby beforehand, but that's not what happened. The game chose to make me play as her immediately following Joel's death. As soon as I started playing as Abby was when I stopped having fun with this game and stopped enjoying the story. This game also has one of the worst endings I have ever seen in a video game. In order for the generic revenge plot to work, Abby should have been killed by Ellie to justify the narrative choice to kill Joel off, but Ellie lets her go because the story wanted to tell the message of "revenge is bad!", which I think it was a bad narrative choice because it is anti-climatic, non-conclusive, and completely negates the purpose of Joel's death. On that point, they repeated the beat of "revenge is bad" so much that it gets aggravating by the end of the game. Finally, while I stated that I liked some of the aspect relating to the gameplay, there are pacing issues and several spots that make the gameplay feel repetitive and mindless, and I got really bored.

    I was so disappointed overall. I don't get how this game was critically acclaimed consider all the issues with the game, which most of it deserves the criticism.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 is amazing. I've played the last of us part 1 more times than I can count, and I felt that part 2 was nothing like I expected and everything I did not know I wanted.

    Spoilers below. I understand certain criticisms of the game. But for the most part I think that the negative user reviews come from people who went into the game with preconceived opinions (because they read the leaks) and were never going to seriously play the game with an open mind. And honestly, I think any true fan of the TLOU made sure to avoid any info from leaks. I understand that Joel's death was unsettling, but that was the point. It was supposed to be unsettling. The last of us part 1 was full of surprises and deaths you didn't see coming. It wrestled with the with the topic of whether you, as Joel and ellie, were really any better than those that you were killing. This theme is further explored in part 2 by having you play as the character that you hate the most, and beginning to indetify with them. You see that their desire and passion for killing Joel is exactly the same as ellies motivation for killing Abby. You develop a bond with Lev not unlike the bond between Joel and ellie. I think that the individuals who hated this game basically just wanted the same exact experience that the last of us part 1 gave them. But considering that the characters have lived for 5 years since the events of the first game, it wouldn't make any sense for them to be exactly the same person that they were in part 1. They've grown and changed as people. I love that naughty dog took so many risks in creating this game, but when you take risks you are bound to trigger snow-flake gamers who don't want change. The bond that ellie and Joel have is beautiful, and seeing it further explored is what people wanted. I feel that this game still delivered that, just not in the form that people were expecting. The last of us games are games about love and fighting for those you love, and part 2 were centered around these themes just as much as part 1. And anyone who hated these games because of LGBT themes: well, I'm just not going to change your mind on that so I won't really address it. Basically, I loved this game. I thought that the gameplay was fantastic, fast paced, methodical, and just all around perfectly enjoyable. The story was amazing to experience. The atmosphere and tone were so utterly the last of us. Definitely buy this game. Haters gonna hate, but for once the critics got it right. It is insane how low of scores the butt hurt fans are giving the game. I think they are likely just doing this to tank the rating. I mean seriously, if you didn't like the game, that is fine, but 1 star? Seriously, even if you hated it, it obviously deserved better than 1 star. Fallout 76 is a game deserving of 1 star. You can't honestly say that this game is 1 star bad. If you gave it a 5 or less, I think you are drastically exaggerating any issues you had with this game. But that's all for my rant. Loved TLOU part 2. Play it with an open mind. You'll love it. Now I am just hoping for some multiplayer. Cuz damn I love factions from part 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLDR: A very disappointed sequel that nobody asked for.

    - Incredibly repetitive and boring gameplay
    - Story is superlative grim and violence for grim and violence sake. It's GOT season 8 all over again. Plot twist for shock value everywhere.
    - Characters are annoying and unlovable. Even the reappearance once are cheapen and make obnoxiously unbearable to players.
    - Graphics is quite nice and polished but limited by hardware and is nothing too revolutionary.
    - Sound design is a solid meh, gun sound and action sounds are not as good as other FPS.

    Regarding the meta outside the game:
    - Lot and lot of developers masturbatory messages on social media just destroy whatever respect I have left for them.
    - 'Critics' review for this game is a joke, all super positive 10/10 which are likely paid for by Sony.

Es una pena que de una obra maestra nos traiga esta basura de historia.

    Ok ok, the overall Game is pretty good but Goddamn wtf, the story is **** mentally draining and **** depressing. How the **** you go from the best game that I would say in a Decade to **** up the entire game in part 2.... The game play is a 8, the Graphics is a 10, the mechanics is a 8 but the **** story and plot is just **** horrible.

    The game is worthless. Grainy graphics, there are so many bugs that you can't even count. They totally disrespected the main characters due to militancy. The end is disastrous. I will not give zero, because the gameplay has improved a little compared to the first game.

    The gameplay has almost 0 change compared to its previous work, some of the setting has also decreased the excitement and intense of taking down an enemy, like the suppressor attached to various bows and weapons. The concept of the end of the world does not present itself clearly, too much conflict is merely based on human tribes, whereas the survival of humankind is just a blurring idea.The gameplay has almost 0 change compared to its previous work, some of the setting has also decreased the excitement and intense of taking down an enemy, like the suppressor attached to various bows and weapons.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First, the good: Graphics, Acting, World-Building and level-design are all 10/10, the facial expressions are on-point, being probably the best I've ever seen. That's it. The Bad: this game doens't shine where it's supposed to: the story. Is it *BAD* ? No... But it ain't good. Some decisions made by characters in the story's key points are simply too off-character. three examples: 1) Joel walking in a house full of strangers. This makes no sense. Joel is a hardcore apocalypse survival and he didn't survive over 20 years by trusting strangers like that, the first game makes that clear. 2) Abby sparing Ellie after losing all her friends. We're talking about a woman that remained obsessed for years with killing a man that murdered her father, to the point where she even took up body-building to make sure that if she ever got the chance, she'd make short work of it. And you're telling me that this very same woman meets the person that murdered: a) her lover, b) her friend who is pregnant with her lover's child and c) the rest of her friends who might as well be her family at this point, and she let's this person lives?! Did Gandhi's spirit possessed her or something? This makes no sense. 3) Ellie sparing Abby at the end. This is also complete BS for 2 reasons: a) **** Climax: Can you imagine playing God of War 3 only to reach the end and witness Kratos not kill Zeus? Yeah, this is what this game will give you. b) Completely Off-Character: Throughout game 1 and 2 of the franchise Ellie establishes herself as a pretty violent person (as anyone with the grit to survive in an apocalyptic world would have to be), she brutally murders a lot of people along the way (I can't remember her killing anyone who didn't deserve it either because they were evil or because they were attacking Ellie herself and thus making it a self-defense situation, but that's another matter), which proves that killing, at this point in time, comes naturally for her. She also carved her way through half a post-apocalyptic continent pursuing her vengeance only to give up at the very end? If this isn't off-character I don't know what is.
    All of these three points could easily be fixed by: 1) Giving more screen time to Joel & Ellie, showing how life in Jackson has made him soft (bonus: this would also be a much welcome fan-service; since Joel and Ellie's relationship is what made the first game special). 2) Show Abby not getting what she expected from revenge. Show her learning that "Vengeance is a fool's game", as Arthur Morgan would say. Not only that, but the way she tortured Joel also took a toll on how her friends relate to her and so she learns from the fallout of her actions that she needs to change and then she vows to be different just before finding her friends dead... This still isn't enough to make her spare Ellie, but you can make their fight ending a draw-like situation where both parties give up since they are both too **** up from their fight. 3) Show the toll of killing a pregnant woman has taken on Ellie's life. She feels immense regret for it and she's just not the same anymore. She still goes after Abby and the player is given the choice whether or not Ellie kills Abby or not at the very end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us (TLOU) was one of my favorite games of all time. Not necessary for the game play or the graphic but for the story. I remember playing the game over and over again and thinking that one day I wanted to be a father (even if it means I have to adopt) when before I wasn't to sure about it. And I remember while play Uncharted 4 saying to my friends that I was looking forward to if they made a Last of Us 2, that the game play would be a lot more fun & enjoyable with a great story that I would love. Praising Neil & It would be my favorite game/experience (because that how I tell people of what TLOU) ever! But, The Last Of Us Part II. Man, The Last Of Us Part II. I don't know if I supposed to hate this game and that's why it was made or what but, man it's so sad. When I finished the game I went into deep depression because of what just happened. Lucky I have people in my life who care for me and notice what was going on and helped me. Unfortunately, some people don't have that. And that worries me.

    -----SPOILERS AHEAD-----

    The first half of this game I actually enjoyed. I understood why Joel died (To carry the plot) and although I don't think the Joel from TLOU would of been in that situation, 4 years has passed. So maybe He's gotten softer now. Maybe he doesn't have that brick wall up that he build after Sarah's death because he has Ellie. Although I don't think that true and still think he wouldn't tell them his real name, I went along with it, if it meant I got to Kill Abby and everyone in that room. When Day 3 started to end I was started to feel like it was okay if Abby got away because Dina need to go home and I actually liked Dina and Ellie together. I though they were cute together and wanted to see them make it home together. Then Abby kills Jesse! And they it goes black and I thought that the game was over implying that Abby Killed Ellie.
    And then you start playing a flashback as Abby and I was confused. Then you played Seattle Day 1 as Abby and I was even more confused. The only thing about Abby that I liked is that she's played by Laura Bailey. And I like Laura Bailey so I kept play thinking that it might be a short section and once I'm done I can get back to Ellie and Kill her. But, I picked up some pills thought that's weird, Saw that she had a skill chart... and didn't want to play anymore knowing that I was gonna have play as Abby. The character that killed Joel, my father and friend. Someone That I grew to love. But, I forced myself through it thinking that as long as get to Kill her okay. So I did and had fun with it, Killing her in every way possible saying, " I like that ending.". Jumping of cliff, getting her head blown off, ect. I did enjoy the Critical Roll Easter Egg to say the least. I did like learning more about the Scars, Lev & all but, nothing you do can make me like Abby. Defiantly not forcing me to watch her have sex. Like WTF. Then you get back up to the cut scene where Abby kills Jesse so I was like finally I get to kill her. NO! You play Abby and have to try and Kill Ellie. Right After she "Killed" Tommy! I Was Pissed! I couldn't believe it. I thought that it might be a meta thing and your supposed to die so I ran at Ellie for her to kill me. NOPE! You have to win. But, you don't which I'm okay with because it means that Ellie lives.
    So far, I've enjoyed half the game and pushed myself through the second half just so I could not kill Abby. But, That's okay because Ellie and Dina now are living life together on a farm with a kid and I'm happy. Sad that Abby got to live but, Ellie has a new lie with a loving wife and a child that she says she's gonna teach guitar, just like how Joel taught her. But, Ellie's PTSD and Tommy (Not Dead somehow) get the best of her. She has to kill Abby. I understood why but, the cost I think is something that Ellie wouldn't give up. Ellie has always done everything to protect the people around her and the people she loves. And for her to give all that up to kill Abby seems not like Ellie to me. I mean she has a kid and a Wife. But, I got to kill Abby so I was like okay whatever, lets kill her! But, you don't! During the fight, which is stressful for me because I'm spamming the f**k out of my square button to the point where I though I was gonna brake my controller, You get to a part where your holding her head under the water (continuing to spam my square button even when there isn't a prompt) and your about to do the deed. Then Ellie see's Joel and stops. WHAT! At that point I was done! Played through the last bit, lost my wife and my kid, couldn't play the guitar. And that's the end. I sat there through the credits just disappointed, sad, angry & annoyed that I played it. I digitally pre-ordered the game and it was my first game I digitally pre-ordered and I'm sad this a bought it.
    To concluded, I didn't enjoy my time playing TLOU2 and my favorite part is the museum flashback part. I'm gonna go play Spider-Man now and be happy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m giving it a three for the graphics, environments and acting but that’s all I can give it for. Besides that, gameplay is repetitive (especially in the second half) and so are the puzzles. There was a point, half way through where you begin to play as Abby where I was wondering in the whole 10 or more hours you play as her, when it was going to be over. The game dragged on for an unnessicary amount of time. The story could have easily been told in 15 hours without the extra padding. The only good parts where I found myself not wanting it to end, were the flashbacks which were short. If this is how Druckmann ‘honours’ his characters, it’s so disrespectful. Almost as if he is torturing US who liked Joel for ever thinking that he was a good man in the first place. As someone who preferred Joel to Ellie, this game was draining to get through. I couldn’t believe how they’d treated him. It was as if they didn’t know their own characters because Joel was never stupid, there was no way he’d reveal his name. But that’s not the only plot hole. How did Ellie and Dina get out of the theatre when Tommy was the only other person alive? How did al three of them, beaten and fatally injured in Tommy’s case her back to Jackson? Ellie has no character arc whatsoever. New characters were boring with the exception of Jesse who was killed in ten seconds flat. Many people were here to see Joel and Ellie’s relationship flourish and how they were coping. Not whatever this cesspit was. All attempts to sympathise with Abby fell short because after killing Joel, there was no way she could be redeemed for me and many others. Abby is by far the worst written character I have ever come across in a game. She has sex with a man who has a pregnant girlfriend, she kills Joel, she tortures people, she only went back for Yara and Lev because she didn’t want to have a guilty conscience. There is no way, even if she saved the world that I would ever sympathise or like that character. Another thing that annoyed me about her was that Neil wanted a strong female character, but as a woman myself, why did you have to make the character more masculine than feminine to look strong? It is also not physically possible for someone to be that muscular in an apocalypse without eating nutritious food which would be scarce. If they wanted to do a game with Abby, they should have left Joel and Ellie’s story where it was, not drag them into this. But let’s talk about that ending shall we? In what world would Ellie actually let Abby walk free? You cannot tell me that after everything her and Joel had been through, after those years in Jackson, that she would not want to tear her head off. Why did she suddenly have a change of heart? It makes no sense. I and many others wanted to torture and inflict a lot of pain into Abby and we were no where near as close to Joel as Ellie was. Especially after having a flash of Joel again, you’d think that would be enough to send her into a fury. I also didn’t like how Joel and Ellie’s relationship was handled in the game. The first flashback was great but then they just destroyed their relationship, not even bothering to fix it before he died. She was way too harsh on him, especially during the party where he was just trying to help. At many points in the game I began to dislike Ellie, mainly at the end. She didn’t feel like the Ellie we once knew, you can say she grew up but she didn’t feel or even look like the same character. Also the Santa Barbara part was unnecessary, it felt like an action game or something out of Dead Island. I have been traumatised by this game, and thats not a good thing. I find myself crying randomly because of Joel because I see his death in my head. If it’s not his death, it’s the flashbacks to when he was happy. Because it’s brought out these emotions in me does not make it a good game. It’s only because I was so attached to him that I feel this way. This game tried to do something and failed miserably. As an avid fan of the first part and someone who once wanted to work at Naughty Dog, I want to forget that it ever had a sequel. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let’s do something edgy. We will make 2 girls have sex and right after KILL joel. The producers must have been high because that’s the only excuse they have. Furthermore, they ruined the game to pander to an audience that doesn’t even play video games. I’m tired of people putting polities and feminist agenda in my damn games!!! The reason I’m giving it a one is because of Joel’s “geetar” skills. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Schlechteste Fortsetzung

    The Last of Us 2 ist kein schlechtes Spiel, wenn man das Spiel neutral und unabhängig vom ersten Teil bewerten muss. Jedoch ist das Spiel kein unabhängiges Spiel und für Spieler des ersten Teils, ist es auch nahe zu möglich das Spiel neutral zu bewerten, zumal das Spiel in die Riesigen Fußstapfen des ersten Teiles treten muss.
    Im Spiel wurden sehr große Fehler bei der Story gemacht die das Spiel zum Teil unspielbar für mich gemacht haben (Vorsicht Spoiler) z.B. spielt man gefühlt Abby die Mörderin von Joel länger als Elie. Diese Entscheidung hat zur Folge, dass ich keine Gefühle zu Elie, die im ersten Teil Hervorragend geschrieben ist, aufbauen kann und das Spiel einen dazu zwingen will Empathie mit Abby zu haben und sie Sympathisch zu finden. Dies geht jedoch, meiner Auffassung nach, Komplett nach hinten los. Du sollst zu jemanden Gefühle innerhalb von ca. 6/7 Stunden empfinden der Joel getötet hat und das auch noch auf eine Art und Weise die vollkommen Überzogen und Gestellt gewirkt hat
    Ich fasse zusammen der erste große Fehler war es Abby mehr Spielzeit zu geben.

    Der zweite große Kritikpunkt ist die Darstellung von Elie.
    Die liebes Beziehung von Elie ist ja schön und gut aber es hat in diesem Ausmaß nichts in LoU verloren. Ich bin vollkommen tolerant mit Homosexuellen und bin auch der Meinung, dass dies auch mal in Spielen behandelt werden sollte aber nicht in LoU.
    Der zweite Kritikpunkt ist somit die fehl platzierten Schwerpunkte Elies Geschichte.

    Der dritte Kritikpunkt ist die Inszenierung des ganzen.
    Das ganze Spiel hat zu viele Zufälle und das zieht die gesamte Story in lächerliche. Die sogenannten Zufälle wären Beispielsweise, das auf einander treffen von Joel und Abby , Joel handelt hier ganz anders als man es von ihm aus dem ersten Teil gewohnt ist, denn er nennt einen Unbekannten seinen Namen nachdem er ein ganzes Krankenhaus zusammen geschoßen hat. Kann ihm nicht der Gedanke kommen, dass ihn Fremde für seine Taten jagen werden ?. Das größte Problem ist aber das die beiden aufeinander treffen was für ein "Zufall". Ein weiteres Beispiel wäre das die Freundin von Abby schwanger ist und die Freundin von Elie auch was für ein "Zufall". Ich frage mich ob Naugthy Dog überhaupt kreative Schreiber hat die sich ein bisschen mehr ausdenken können als das gleiche zu Kopieren.

    Der größte Kritikpunkt ist aber, dass dem Spieler die Wahl genommen wird ob man Abby tötet oder nicht. Diese Entscheidung hätten sie jedem Spieler selbst überlassen sollen.

    Ich würd dem Spiel am liebsten null Punkte geben, aber die Szenen mit Joel waren sehr mitreißend und haben mich an die gute alte Zeit erinnern lassen.

    Não acredite nas notas negativas. The Last of Us Part II segue o padrão de qualidade da Naughty Dog. O jogo conseguiu melhorar as mecânicas do primeiro jogo e deixar tudo mais polido.

A exploração está muito maior e dá mais liberdade ao jogador para vasculhar tudo em busca de suprimentos e itens colecionáveis. A ambientação está espetacular, com muitos detalhes que deixam o jogo extremamente imersivo. Os gráficos, iluminação dos ambientes e texturas são uns dos melhores dessa geração de consoles. A história conseguiu justificar essa jornada da Ellie de volta ao mundo selvagem dos infectados e grupos inimigos. Não é um motivo qualquer só para lucrar em cima de uma continuação. É uma extensão e consequência de todos os acontecimentos do primeiro jogo. Não se deixem enganar por notas baixas vindas de haters e preconceitos sobre a sexualidade das personagens. Joguem e aproveitem mais essa obra prima da Naughty Dog. Garanto que não vão se arrepender. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am highly disappointed in this. I waited so long for it and what we got was less of a sequel to a game we all loved but more of a spinoff where we play as new characters we are supposed to sympathize with but we cannot more than hate. The ending left me with such high depression that makes me unable to touch that game again. There is way more to it that makes it so frustrating but i think it has been said dozens of times enough in all the other reviews on this platform here or others. Only thing left to say for me is that hopefully the studio will abandon some of the paths they lately have chosen and look back to the times where they created fun games to play i used to love so much.

    This game its not a masterpiece, but its not trash either, it made me **** depressed, but in a good way.
    I really think people should buy it just for the emotional roller coaster that it is, but i totally understand people who did not enjoy it, it has a lot of violence, it messes with beloved characters and has a very painfully conclusion that made me quite conflicted, even so, i still

    I love the first TLOU for its storyline. Sadly sience it was released much time has passed and leading developers like Amy Hennig and Bruce Straley (Uncharted Series) have leaved Naughty Dog. My Impression is that next to others, Neil Druckmann did not care about the expectations of the loyal fans for a second part at all. They come up with a very low revange story.

    The death of important caracters and detailed brutality against not clearly evil humans and animals (dogs)...everything feels like just there for creating some controversy. Next to this the graphical apperiance is beautiful. Didn't change the disappointment..

    Great Graphics, better gameplay, very bad stealth, great voice acting, Since this is a story driven game, the story is very very bad and so i can't give a higher score

    Worthless story that is forced on the player and unengaging gameplay. The fact that "critics" score it so highly is just another example of media control and manipulation.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
