    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Эта игра наплевательски относится к фанатам первой
    Начиная с того, что Джоэл умирает в первом часу игры, продолжая тем, что Элли просто мстит и не развивается как персонаж и заканчивая тем, что нам вручают ужасную мужеподобную бабу, которая ничем не отличается по геймплею от Элли. Эбби, очевидно, вводилась в игру только для громких слов, вроде: "Это наша самая длинная игра, она проходится целых 30 часов!"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t like the decision Naughty Dog did. Real hard what happens after 2 Hours playing the Game. It’s disgusting and annoying what they have done to one of the best Videogame ever!
    If we talk bout how it’s look it’s brilliant, no discussion for that; but there Is so bad and character and storytelling; also the message behind all don’t compare with the end and part 1. And how the Producers act with us Fans! We made the rich and big; not only the Games; The Uncharted Series are amazing and one of the Best Games worldwide, also The Last of Us 1!! But you also need a Community or Fans out there; and probably sometime you should listen to them! For me it is one of the worst storytelling Game ever. Charactertelling - >1/10
    Story -> -1/10
    Gameplay -> 3/10 but for 7 years to less innovative
    Graphics -> 10/10

    For Joel

    So, this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad. The reason is: character development. If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Neil Druckmann, or whatever this guy name is, for some reason came up with Idea to create unnecessary sequel to the great TLOU.

    Aight m8. I can tolerate this whole SJW **** but it wont make a game good.
    Here is some tips for you buddy. Good character development, good plot and motivation does.
    But Neil forgot about we live in the real world and this Biggot sandwich - Boy on steroids - Lesbian transsexual really works as good plot in his own world of make believe.
    But heres is a some real **** buddy. Nobody cares about minority and your sjw bull****.

    People wont like this game cuz u **** up with plot and characters.
    Flashback on falshback and the whole story is about revenge that does not even there in the end.
    WOW WHAT A STORY!! A REVENGE, WOW. NEVER SEEN THAT ONE IN 20 YEARS OF watching movies and playing games. WHAT A MOTIVATION FOR PLAYER A CHARACTER. Even this simple as hell plot was **** up.

    Pls, Neil, get your brain out of your ass, this game is trash. 70% of studio that were working at this game is left cause it is **** I praise the leaker who saved my money. Im prasing streamers who made walkthoughts.

    Gameplay 5/10
    World 7/10
    Plot 0/10
    Characters 1/10 (poor Joel)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm real person and was a big fan of ND for years! I still can't believe how you and Druckmann destroy such masterpiece like TLOU! Why did you do this to your fans and our loved character? The story of the game is really BAD. It's such crazy like if you played 10 hours as David just after killing and eating Ellie in the first part of the game. And Joel forgave him at the end, and after that David became new protagonist in TLOU. This is madness.
    The only one thing that is good is graphic. Not even gameplay, it's almost the same like in TLOU1
    I rating TLOU2 in next way
    0 for story
    3 for graphic
    1 for gameplay
    BUT thanks to ND disrespectful behavior and lies to fans i cant rating this game more than 0
    I hope some day ND will fix it and create real TLOU2 but not what they did

Whatever. The director Neil Druckmann is so in love with himself that he's in the game 3 times. Once as credited writer and director in the opening. Once as a villain npc. And once as a rare collector's card. **** you. You love the smell of your own ass. You're no Hideo Kojima. Even Kojima knows not to piss off his **** fans.

    This game starts with a very brief glimpse of life in Jackson, Colorado and then immediately you're thrust into a revenge mission which seemingly lasts the remainder of the game. The intro is so short that I feel sorry for the animators who created the town of Jackson. There's absolutely no time given to breath and play around in a town of respite before it's all taken away from you and you're sent on a revenge mission, one you don't really want to go on. And other characters join, seemingly, for no other reason than "why not?" This is so incredibly boring, and a lazy story setup. Last of us 1 sent us on a long adventure across the country and was visually and thematically different from each location. I'm six hours in on last of us 2 and I'm still running around downtown Seattle, exploring pockets of set pieces, and just looting and killing creatures and people, for no reason. Ellie could easily capture and question one of these enemy NPCs to find what she's looking for, but instead she decides to just wing it, and look for her objectives by eye.

    The graphics and the gameplay are amazing, but I just don't care. The story is just doing nothing for me. And I shouldn't have to wait six hours for it to finally get good. I'll play it to completion, but right now, I would not recommend it. It just feels like such a chore to play.

    I've finished the game, and my score still stands. It's amazing technically speaking, but I know it's because of worker's crunch time. The story, for what it is, is told fine I guess. By the end, I just felt empty, like Ellie. I wanted more from this story. And we didn't get a second of time as Joel, except the beginning. I don't know why they decided to go in this direction, or why Sony approved it, but here we are... Last of us 2 is a divisive, polarizing game. It succeeds in many facets, and fails in others. This will be a damaging game to many. I don't see Druckmann or Naughty Dog recovering from this from the majority of their fans. While fun, I dread its story. But sales will sure condemn this game a success.

    Graphics: 8
    Animation: 8
    Atmosphere: 9
    Gameplay: 4
    Story: 1
    Narrative: 1
    Critics claiming this game is masterpiece: -10

    First of I don't really think this game deserve 0 score, though it's the only way of showing protest against "paid" reviews of so called critics.

    Now let's get to why it's bad. Long and point by point.
    First of gameplay. It's dull, it's repetitive and it's absolutely boring.
    For a first quarter of the game you playing stealth game without any means to make stealth interesting you don't have skills(which by the way you should find in the means of magazines scattered around the so called world which is more of a tunnel with enough side turns or dead ends that will eventually lead you to a same point and still those magazines can be missed) and if you do, you don't have skill points to open them up soon enough to avoid this getting boring you don't have silent weapons and the only way to make it as it's intended to is by crawling in a grass and bushes with 1 button gameplay which is boring. Then we move to the second quarter of the game when you finally have tools but if you play on a highest difficulty the resources are so scares that you don't really have means of using them which again forces you to the point of either changing difficulty or continue boring bush crawling with 1 button playstyle. Then we move to the third and forth quarters of the game where you again striped out of means of doing the gameplay interesting and even of the mechanics as you play as Abby who is a part of wolves which were using dogs that made it at least a bit interesting and didn't allowed you to just sit on spot smashing stealth kill button. And instead of giving you a synergy with a dog and moving onto a new mechanics they just remove them from the game as a factor so the second half of the game is even a downgrade from already boring stealth gameplay. Again dull, poor and just plain uninteresting.

    Secondly story.
    I was never a fun of TLOU1 so I don't have any years long love for Joel or Elle. Though they were developing during the game, characters were evolving and that lead to controversial ending. Here we have a flat characters that don't do this. They just don't develop still at the end they take a drastic turns against everything they stood and fought for it's just a poor written drama of a broken characters that don't do anything in terms of what ending brings us to.
    Prologue and Joel's death make no sense at all. He stumbles upon Abby and her group just as they shows up in the region, saves them, tells his name, lead them to a safe house and can't understand where is this going to. No matter in the first game he saw through such characters by a single glance of an eye and then again Elle magically shows up just in time to see what is happening.
    Epilogue is even more stupid as Tommy instead of helping Elle as his brother would've probably wanted wanted sets her up on a vengeance path AGAIN. Then Elle finds Abby saves her and Lev, fight with Abby and let them go. Abby knows where cicadas are, have Lev by her side and get everything. Elle looses everything even her new family with Dina though she is the one braking vengeance circle she didn't even started in the end.
    Even with this BS story they could have done it better by parallel playing for Abby and Elle, or even by totally swapping the two halves of the game instead they try to make you understand Abby when you already don't want to, when you already hate her and just don't give any Fs about why she did what she did.

    And thirdly is a narrative.
    You don't make strong female characters by just showing how weak and bad male characters are, you don't make good gay characters by showing how pathetic and cruel straight are, you don't make a strong trans character by showing that for some weird reason(sarcasm) tribal, postapocalyptic, religious group don't agree and don't accept this chatacter being trans. The only thing this achieve is creating hatred towards this characters and,or there counterparts for the matter and towards the writers that just can't represent them by any means other then hatred. They must stand out by what they do and not by others that do wrong.

    And lastly you don't buy or otherwise force critics to say that game isn't what it is. A dull, boring, weak, old and underdeveloped in terms of gameplay and story pile of garbage. You don't make metacritic to start showing some weird server errors that occurs only for this game. You don't lie in promotional materials. You don't censor some games and leave others with a full out sex scenes.
    Again this game doesn't deserve a 0 score, it's 4-5 at least for it's graphics and detail obsession. But when I see 95 critics score for this I go for 0 to balance it out.

But the thing they've done is so horrific that you won't care what their motivations are. The only pleasure you derive from that half of the game is seeing every one of her death animations.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK, here we go. Before I go on with my personal opinion on the game I will say this “It would have been better if I never played TLOU Part II” Where to start….i will simply focus on where the game messed it up for me big time and not talk about how beautiful and how improved the combat mechanics are (they are not).. Naughty Dog simply developed this game for the past 7 years to totally annihilate, wipe out of existence all the empathy, character bounding and LOVE they built on the first game. All that sentiment and intricate relationship that grew in the first game for Ellie and Joel, they just decided that they had to kill it in this game and the worst part: “I think that was their goal”…..It is unthinkable, unimaginable in my precarious mind how Joel, a character that lived in both worlds, a character that since the very first scene on the first game was pray of mistrust when that guard killed his daughter and along the whole first game he is resentful of anyone he does not know, he thought Ellie all she knows in term of the current state of the humankind, not to trust no one NEVER…. And he blindly share all the information to Abby AFTER saving her life and walks right into a cheap ambush. (Oh yeah we will talk about this one later) A COMPLETE STRANGER who just showed up and ended up killing him…and to add insult to injury Naughty dog forces me be that weapon it forces me to be Abby for a good portion of the game…ME the one that has been trying to save them since the get go…. THIS IS HORRIBLE and right at that point in the game I felt I did not want to keep playing anymore. And all this just to be able to fuel the revenge plot that will follow in Ellie’s hands (that until the very end where she had a change of heart)….Abby…. I still don’t understand what was the goal there….relentless evil, pure and many, many times unsubstantiated evil just for the sake of again REVENGE. Not only they showed her as a robot after Joel literally saved her life she brutalize him with a gulf club. And still they try, yeah they try to humanize her by petting dogs and attempting to show she cares about her group, this is one of the worst character developments I have ever seen coming from one of the best teams (if not the best in the world) Abby’s actions are like taken from another universe, they make no sense most of the times and simply are unnecessary. And all this Naughty dog did it by putting you in her shoes, I was forced to harm the characters I loved or the people that they cared about. Time and again I felt like stopping the game and uninstall it, hated every time I had to be Abby not because what she was doing, but because what she was doing didn’t make lots of sense. And for all those justifying Abby’s actions , how am I supposed to feel right at the point where she did what she did I knew nothing of her, I had spent countless hrs. with Joel so no matter what you do after that point redemption is IMPOSSIBLE for Abby. And then when you go through all this suffering destroying what you built in the first game naughty dog DENIES you the ability to kill this despicable character Abby, and Ellie ends up sparing her life “”What the hell ND”””. So not only your whole game have been about REVENGE and senseless brutality but the moment where REVENGE actually makes sense you took it away from me….. I am Sad, I am Mad, I feel horrible Naughty Dog. I felt you had your story to tell and you intentionally carried on with it despite hurting your own work on the first game and most importantly, hurting us gamers as fan of your games and the universe you so graciously created for us. I regret having played the game….. I would like to forget, I would like to stay with that image of Ellie and Joel when they found Jackson. Expand

The success of the first part is explained by the narrative and relationship between main characters. The view on the problem of “lesser evil” and readiness to sucrifice what you love in favour of the rest the people. The second part proposes us the possibility that despite all hatred one can find strength to forgive the opponent. It may work but not in the way it was realized.

I am mature enough to accept the openly gay relationshipLast of Us Part 2 really is a game of two halves. Graphically the game is awesome, as is the sound. Until about 18 hours in I was completely hooked with the immersive story. I loved the character development and my emotional connection with them as the story progressed made me care about what was going on and who was doing what. I am mature enough to accept the openly gay relationship between main characters in the story for what it is and I have to say that the sensitivity in which the script is handled is excellent.
    Combat is both brilliant and disastrous. When it works, the gun battles are awesome with limited ammo forcing you to adapt a defensive strategy while picking off foes one at a time. The melee attacks become epic as you unlock the ability to upgrade weapons rendering the on-screen violence quite impactful emotionally. It is an 18 rated game, so if you don’t like violence, don’t buy it.
    Sadly as the game progressed into the second half of the story, I quickly lost patience and interest in the story line. I was forced into playing characters that I, initially, cared very little about and I was effectively forced into relearning whole sets of skills that I had already spent hours honing in the first half of the game, only to have to do it all again albeit with slight tweaks to the weapons and skill-trees. Being forced to walk around in now familiar venues having conversations and looking at utter tat in the environment for the sake of developing the second leg of the story really frustrated me. Huge Yawn.
    The other irritation throughout the game is one which many titles with NPCs suffer from, the NPCs constantly get in your way. The frequency in which NPCs would push in front of me when trying to position myself at the edge of a wall to ambush an enemy was a joke. I tried bludgeoning the NPCs from time to time but to no effect. It’s a lesson for all developers. If you must place NPCs in a game, for goodness sake keep them out the way or allow the player to beat them senseless for being stupid morons.
    In the final few hours the story jumps repeatedly from one flashback to another and for me the game became the definition of tedium. At this stage of the game the already irksome combat controls became a real hassle, probably because I had stopped caring and I just wanted it to end. When pushed into tight spaces with large numbers of foes, the combat mechanics seriously lets the game down. I couldn’t find any method of locking on to a target during melee and when you dodge a foe, you have to manually swing the camera around to find them again which sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t and often I’d lose the upper hand simply because the mechanics were too slow and too cumbersome to actually achieve what I wanted to achieve. Slow and poorly designed weapon selection mechanics added further to the problem and it became unnecessarily frustrating in an otherwise extremely well polished title.
    In the final third of the game, Naughty Dog's vision started to win me over. I didn't agree with all their story-board choices but the immersive play forced me to start caring about other main characters as much as Ellie and some genuine morally-charged themes left me thinking about the game long after the credits stopped rolling.

You have to be invested and be 100% focused on every aspect, idea, theme etc. Any game that can make me feel like these 2 titles, is 10/10 for me. This, it's a huge landmark in gaming industry and it set a new standard in terms of story telling, gameplay, graphics. This game is ahead of its time and people are not honest with themselves and think that writers or content creators must create what the public wants. HAHA, this is not how art works:). Oh and one last thought. It's interesting to see how many people take games so personally that they resort to violent messages to content creators and even actors that are just doing their job:). Brilliant game, so powerfull that i don't think i can enjoy other games. We can now see more clearly, a new type of people.

    P.S.: Saying goodby is hard for everyone but life, is just a series of experiences that come and go all the way till the end:) and all what we have in the end, are our memories, the taste from our past experiences:)

    What a disappointment. The story shoots itself in the foot in the prologue and right when your getting used to the limp it pulls the rug right from underneath you half-way through and pins you on the ground for 10 hours.

    The first game made me want to be a father, this one just makes want to kill myself, literally. If you have depression I wouldn't recommend this game.

    2 days after finishing this game I'm still unsure if I wish I'd avoided this or not. I both liked and despised this game. For anyone who deeply enjoyed the first game and thought it ended at a logical end point, I would highly advise you not to play this game.

    The Last of Us 2 is dark, depressing and deeply upsetting, and goes out of it's way to take everything ...EVERYTHING... from characters you care dearly about. This is done with little/no care or respect for the characters; some huge events are rushed, others are not but the game delights in having you play through their suffering for too long. If you care about Joel/Ellie after playing the first one, you will not enjoy this game. It will stay with you long after the credits have rolled. In that respect, the director has likely achieved what they set out to do, and some kudos has to be given for making a story that - at least in parts - is impactful. The impact, as well as the graphics, sound and music (which are all top notch) are the reasons this score is as high as it is. However the cost of the events of it's story, the treatment of it's characters, and where they are left by the end is too great. The events of this game and the conclusion cast a shadow not only over the experience of this game, but over the first, making it also feel tarnished by the experience, knowing what events follow.

    The first game was interspersed with poignant moments that shed light in it's darkness (such as the Giraffe scene), but these moments are all lacking from this game, save for 1 or 2 bittersweet flash-back scenes. Aside from it's treatment of the characters this is it's biggest downfall, in that it appears to have lost the soul of the first game.

    While I've played the first game 3 times and enjoyed each play-through just as much, I will not be playing this game a second time. Once is enough, or possibly too much.

    The new leadership at Naughty Dog seems to care more about their totalitarian woke narratives than telling a good story that appeals to all humans and not just intolerant liberal hypocrites! The mainstream press fawns over garbage if it promotes their causes.

    Hey.

    This is the biggest disappointment of the current generation of consoles. The shameful end to the current generation of consoles. Another perfect technical demonstration from Sony with a silly plot and not very well-developed character relationships. The beginning of this was seen back in Drake 4.

    It could be another great game of a great series. But we got the trash.

    If you want to get acquainted with the series and not spoil the impression, it is better to dwell only on the first part (2013).

    We also saw the venality of gaming journalists and inadequate censorship of Sony.

    2 points only for the delicate work of technical specialists.

    It's a shame. Neil Druckmann must be fired.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh man, where to begin? Neil, what the actual f* were you thinking? Why write a revenge story if you're not going to serve up some cold revenge at the end. So let me get this right, its ok for hundreds of other soldiers/cult members to die in pursuit of Joel's killer, but when it comes down to finally killing Abby she grows a conscience? What were they thinking? Did they honestly expect everyone to be cool with that ending?
    When I started playing this game initially I remember telling my friends that I don't get what has people so upset about this game. I did a good job of avoiding spoilers prior to playing it. I was jokingly telling my friends that literally the ONLY thing that could potentially turn me against this game is if they try to turn it into a morality lesson of "revenge bad, durrr".
    Then halfway through the game you suddenly switch to Abby and I thought this has to be a joke right? Did these devs honestly expect people to be cool with playing Joel's torturer/murderer? Did they honestly expect a little backstory and context to make me NOT want to kill her. She could be a freaking saint that saves a whole boat full of puppies and I'd still want her to suffer and die. You can't just open with her horribly killing Joel, who everyone had a strong emotional connection to and people have been reminiscing about for seven years leading up to this. Everyone was exited to finally catch up with Joel and Ellie after all these years, only to have Joel get snuffed in the first couple hours. Now, I would be ok with this as it really sets up the players boundless hatred towards Abby. I thought it was an effective way of making you feel Ellie's rage and lust for vengeance. But this needed the payoff of enacting that vengeance in the end. This game gave me the catharsis equivalent of blue balls.
    I even thought the game pulled a fast one on me when Ellie and Dina retire to the countryside and everything is super idyllic, which lead me to believe that Ellie would drop the quest for revenge in favor of love. Then when she decides to set out to finish what she started I cheered! "Sneaky game, making me believe we wouldn't get that satisfying conclusion" I thought. Well played! I honestly unlike many others wasn't seriously mad at this game until the very end. Death by a thousand cuts and drowning seemed like a pretty cathartic way of ending Abby. Then....nah...actually revenge is bad and sorry to all those people that had to die for me to get to you Abby, but oh well. Byeeeeee!
    If my fiancee hadn't been asleep next to me on the couch I would have let out an agonized scream at that point.
    My question is, did Neil Druckmann honestly think people would be on board with this? Was he surrounded by yes men during the whole production? Did't anyone take him aside to say "hey Neil, I don't think this is such a great idea. Might piss off a lot of people and effectively Last Jedi our franchise into the ground." But I guess nobody dared to speak up and we ended up with this train wreck.
    Honestly, I don't think a game has ever affected me in such a negative way. I have been feeling this ball in the pit of my stomach, feeling depressed and angry for the last few days now. Wishing I'd skipped this one now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played this game as soon as it installed and these are my honest thoughts and opinions as well as critiques.

    The last of us 2 tries to be a post apocalypse story that is diverse and different, however it feels forced and agenda pushing through nearly the entire story, while the game-play feels fluid and combat is more satisfying than the first game, the risk reward is just not there and ruins the game-play experience.

    The story for the last of us 2 leaves you feeling as if the game was never finished, the ending is certainly there but it is a disappointment, in-fact alot of this game disappoints with trailers blatantly LYING about Joel's involvement in the game, some scenes are model switched such as flashbacks in the game being shown in the trailer as present old Joel and Ellie in the ads. Naughty dog/ Sony blatantly lied to people in the games advertising to sell more copies and in the final product there is very little present day interaction with Joel and Ellie.

    Overall, The agenda pushing in this game mixed with the lying of Advertisements for this game ruin the experience for the Last of us fans, While the gameplay is definitely improved and voice acting is superb the story is a massive let down even for people who this game tries to pander to and bleak story lovers.

    I normally would have given this game a 2 or 3 just for the game-play and voice acting alone but with the lies in advertisement and a story so bad that i believe the game should have been scraped and redone from the start story-wise along with agenda politics forced into our video games especially at a time like this when games are used to escape the real world, i had to take points away from what my normal score would have been. i sincerely hope this will be a lesson learned on naughty dogs part and their next games will be better in the future.

    To the voice actors of this game, i congratulate you on doing an extremely well done job and i'm sorry i'm unable to give this game a higher score.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even if the attention to detail is amazing in this game and the graphics are gorgeous for a ps4, the story was a huge letdown for me. Joel's death was anticipated from the first game, taking the fact that he basically butchered entire groups and some survivor would come to take revenge. The problem is that could've been done better than setting a game because a pointless npc from the first game died at the end. Abby's character is a problem in many ways:
    1. a woman would not look like that in a million years without steroids treatment 2.everything she is doing is pure psychotic, and it represents that this character has seriously mental issues
    3. Her companion, Lev(Lilly) is annoying just because screams : I'm a boy not a girl, please accept me! A good character is known for it's personality, not for sexuality. The last part with the rattlers is totally pointless : Ellie abandons it's girl for an old revenge story but when is about to kill abby she stopped because, joel wouldn't do the same thing, forgetting that we talk about a guy that butchered an entire military group to save her life.

Мужчинам нет никакого смысла терять нынешнее положение в общество и как куколды смотреть на то, как их свергают с трона, ставя на его место женщину, под соусом прогрессивности.

    I have never been so disappointed in a game. Giving it a 4 is generous. The gameplay and visuals were beautiful but the plot and story just felt like a cash grab. That game could have been half of the length that it was. And I felt like I thought it was the ending 5 different times. Any part that I thought was the ending would have been better than what we got.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cómo hay muchas dudas de porque tanto hate a TLOU2 aquí les dejo unas razones que he visto y para que no los engañen con que "lo odian por las lesbianas" (mucho texto y spoilers al final)

    - Neil Druckmann, el vice presidente del estudio, forzó a Amy Hennig que renunciara de ND por diferencias ideológicas. Ella fue la escritora de Uncharted 1-3 y se negaba a incluir cosas progres como lo vemos en Lost Legacy y el nuevo TLOU.

    - El también tomo consejo de Anita Sarkeesian, una conocida charlatana que quiere insertar su ideología en los videojuegos aunque no le guste el medio en realidad.

    - Personajes mujeres hechas feas por la idea de que diseñarlas con rasgos femeninos es "objetificacion" (gracias a Sarkeesian)

    - Naughty Dog abuso del sistema de copyright para tumbar cuentas de Twitter y Youtube que hablaran del juego aunque no incluyera videos. Comentarios son desactivados en Youtube y Twitter para evitar criticas.

    - La hipocresía de Sony al censurar juegos de terceros que incluyen desnudos parciales/fanservice pero dejan escenas sexuales explícitas en TLOU2

    - ND abuso de sus empleados al hacerlos trabajar horas extra y sin pagarles (no se si tiempo después si les pagaron) aún así lo retrasaron cuando el juego ya estaba completo y eso causo que se filtrara (supuestamente por un empleado molesto)

    - Druckmann se insertó como personaje en el juego para escupir el cadáver de Joel y tener sexo con uno de los protagonistas, además en un item donde dice tener 100 de cerebro (imagen)

    - En el juego es imposible disparar a objetos que tengan relación con la religión judía (si no me creen díganme y les paso un vídeo)

    - La historia es una basura, te hacen controlar a un personaje nuevo que mató a uno muy querido. El final es incongruente y anticlimatico.

    - Cualquier crítica hacia el juego es tachado de homofobia o machismo

    - ND usó un cover de una canción por una youtuber sin darle crédito en uno de sus trailers
    A esto y otras cositas es que le pasó a este juego
    -La forma en la que la prensa de juegos manejó todo, dándole un 100 y ahora atacando a quien lo califica mal con sinónimos de intolerancia es un plus a todo lo turbio detrás de este juego - y los puntos le doy es por la gente trabajo haciéndolo, que fue explotada y renunció a la empresa por las medidas de ND y por qué se nota se esmeraron en lo gráfico y lo jugable que es lo único que vale la pena, pero no para darle 100 como la prensa, que decía era una maravilla de guion, de ser así, se ve que se sorprenden entonces hasta por qué sale el sol

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The magic that was captured in the first game, was completely crushed and destroyed with little to no respect....
    Yo hey guys, So I'm a new rising reviewer and I just played through the last of us blind. This is not a good game, and I am a massive fan of the first....
    To sum things up quite quickly the game for me would have been a solid 4 or 5. This is due to its gorgeous graphics and somewhat polished controls. The game has not done anything to evolve significantly gameplay wise. In saying so there were more situations in which the game offered multiple tactics in order to progress which I liked. The game's NPC's are not that great and the overall pacing of the game is constant unlike the first. This made the game feel long and just one big drag.
    However the Last of Us part 2 deserves a big 0.
    This game is constantly forcing a political agenda down my throat whether I like it or not. Numerous times I wanted to just turn off the game however for the sake of making an unbiased review I hammered on towards the end. Why make these sort of statements in something we play as an escape from reality? So stupid and unnecessary.
    I have been a big fan of Naughty Dog over the years but this is the game that ruined it for me. A lot of fans of the original will find this game extremely disappointing.
    Save your money and stay clear of this one.
    If you ever so happen to play the first one again, make sure to take out every single person in that hospital.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog and Neil just made most of the fans mad and very disappointed including me.
    Rather than make this an epic farewell to our beloved character, they killed Joel like sh*t.
    Joel deserve better. It's not about his dead but about how he died.

    The story would be much much more better if Joel got separated from Tommy and somehow in life and dead situation and then saved by Abby, a long the way then Abby learn their names and invite both of them to her hideout.
    Joel of course would be refuse at first, but because she saved his life and too far away going back home he'll eventually agree.

    And the golf club, if that's Joel we know from the first game he will fight till the end. He will grab the club from the first swing, smash Abby's leg and before he can smash Abby's head, Manny shot him. And then Manny gave Abby the gun, Ellie comes in and saw Abby shot Joel to dead.

    That's would be more sense, and epic farewell to Joel.
    The end if Ellie finally let Abby live, we can understand and accept it.
    But after Abby brutally and tortured her figure father to dead and pursue her and in the end let her free, WTF is that!

    Your story suck Neil and Naughty Dog!

    As a huge fan of the first game, the Last of Us 2 managed to surprise and amaze me in ways far beyond my expectations. It gave me an experience that I will never forget.

    As a huge fan of the first game, the Last of Us 2 managed to surprise and amaze me in ways far beyond my expectations. It gave me an experience that I will never forget.

    The game play is very similar to the first game, but improved upon in numerous ways such as the added dodge functionality that makes melee fights much more exciting. I am personally not a great fan of stealth-style game play, but in this case making the choice between being sneaky or going in weapons blazing is a lot of fun at all times.

    The graphics (especially the lighting), sounds, voices, characters and landscapes are among the best if not the best I have ever seen or heard on any platform. I played the game alone, in a fairly dark room with headphones and on a relatively high difficulty. It was a really intense experience that left me with a pounding heart many times.

    The biggest part of general criticism seems to be the story and the characters that drive it. I personally must strongly disagree with this assessment but I understand where it's coming from. Where the first game was more of a character driven blockbuster, the second game is much more nuanced and calm and puts the player in uncomfortable situations and perspectives. I personally enjoyed the heck out of this very grown up approach. It kept me interested and engaged every minute and left me wanting more. But if you were expecting a linear progression of game one in a more standard Hollywood style sequel, you might be disappointed. For me, maybe because I've also gotten older, it was the best storytelling I have ever experienced in a game (or movie).

    For me, the worst thing was that the came had to end at some point. The ending was a bit abrupt, but served well as a conclusion.

    I would give 11/10 if possible - this is why I play games. It has instantly become one if my favorite games of all time and I applaud Naughty Dog for being so brave with this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really scared of playing this game. I already knew 3 key parts of the story before playing. I knew Joel would die very quickly, I knew I would have to play as Abby for 10 hours and I knew at the end I couldn’t even kill Abby. These three things alone are enough of a reason to scare anyone or to rate this game a 0, however, it just doesn’t matter when combined with the entire experience. Now I am not saying this game is perfect, but certainly doesn’t deserve the hate it has been receiving. Yes, watching Joel die in that way sucks and after finishing the game I still wonder if it was the correct way to end the story of such beloved character. But putting yourself in the mindset, you understand why naughty dog decided to make this, you really feel like Ellie and that motivation keeps you going. Even if I knew I would be playing as Abby, I didn’t know when, so when it happened, at first my motivation to play as Abby was to just arrive at that critical point, but as I kept playing, my motivation changed dramatically and I ended up enjoying a lot the entire Abby section to the point I realized y deeply cared for this characters that I just murdered some hours before. The gameplay, although very similar to the first, I found it very enjoyable and really fun, the graphics and score are just perfect, but what really surprises me is the number of balls a developer needs in order to craft and present a story like this one. I ended up absolutely loving this game and has been on my mind for weeks now, it is truly a devastating, epic, sad, funny, and just a piece of art that anyone should experience. I repeat that yes it is devastating to play this game but in the end, it feels with it. 10/10 Expand

It's a risk taking that can only be rewarded. I never thought a video game would be able to convey that kind of emotion. GOTY Expand

    the only positive/improvement in the game is the difficulty levels, giving the player a huge number of options about how they’d like to play. There’s no “easy mode” or “hard mode,” but rather a collection of settings you can turn up or down.

    You can adjust your allies’ health, for example, or increase the number of items Ellie finds while scavenging, while still leaving the enemies just as strong. Or you can go in the opposite direction, and decide you want to fight more able enemies and find fewer resources. If one encounter’s giving you trouble, you can bump enemy strength down right then and there, then change it back.
    That’s honestly the only positive aspect of Part 2, everything else regarding writing, world building, characters development old or new, gameplay, is seriously terrible, only other thing that might be positive is the multiplayer, which isn’t released yet.
