    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played it (didn't pay for it , gameshare with a friend here) and to be honest. It was a meh not thaaat bad but not even good. The gameplay is the same from TLOU 1 , with the twist that now you can actually prone and jump at your own will. It's basically the same except now you have nicer graphics which imo isn't even important (Minecraft has one of the best rating and we are talking about pixelated graphics there). The story isn't even good. It's pretty mediocre and I'm not talking just about the golfing scene. It's everything , the side characters basically disappear from the game after they die , like if the have never existed. In Tlou1 when Tess dies she is mentioned plenty of times after that happens , here when a character dies that isn't thaaat important or relevant it just goes into oblivion. The writting is bad , the chars don't have the same feel like how it was in TLOU1. The "revelation" scene with Joel and Ellie is awful , not even emotional. It was a sequel nobody wanted, or at least it could have been just about Abby. Since almost 75% of the story with Abby is a "new" version of the journey with Joel and Ellie. It has an awful story , yeah it has an "un-predictable ending" but at the same time it makes the story even worse , Ellie kills tons of people , a dog , etc. Then "revenge is bad" , if we saw that in a different scenario like John Wick , RDR2 , RDR1 , etc it would be pointless and underwhelming , and this is the case for TLOU 2. Final note : I'm not even mad , it's a game. Even so, the game is pretty bad and it was disapointing. I'm sorry for the cast, since their VAs are awesome , but man the writting of this game is bad , very very bad.… Expand

It was a mission to save the world told from the perspective of the protagonist Joel; who lost his daughter in such an evocative fashion that I was crying 15 minutes into the game. This turns Joel into a hardened survivor who does not dwell on his emotions or the emotions of anyone else, all he has is the need to survive.

    Ellie gives him a purpose, she represents the light in the darkness and in time teaches him to love again. It is a long journey and a hard task but at the end of that journey he loves her so much that he sacrifices the world for her. The game ends there. Joel never tells Ellie how much he cares for her but the player knows because actions speak louder than words. You are left knowing that your entire mission to save the world was for nothing but that Ellie is safe which is more important and Joel has found the ability to love again. It is a bitter sweet ending but there is definitely light in the darkness.

    Juxtapose this onto the last of us 2 a sequel which was always going to be judged next to the themes and story of it's predecessor. This is a petty revenge plot. There is no higher purpose. There is no saving the world. There is no character development. There is nothing but a shallow revenge story where the character Ellie you know and love from the first game degenerates into a cold, angry, 1 dimensional person who is an **** to everyone including the people she is supposed to care about most.

    Remember when I said actions speak louder than words? Ellie abandons everyone she is supposed to care about, degenerating from the character we knew and loved from the first game into a unlikable ****.

    This is a story driven game based upon relationships where the protagonist is dead and the light in the darkness has become cold, shallow and can't express a single emotion to the people closest to her. Maybe the other characters will take up the mantle and carry the story, relationships and character development. What do you think Dina?... Dina? I challenge anyone to name a single character trait that Dina has which sets her apart. Every new character you are introduced to in this game is shallow and generic. You barely care when they are unceremoniously executed.

    ...but wait let's spend the next 10 hours playing as someone we hate and get to know people that we know are already dead. I bet that'll be interesting. It's not. It's a waste of 10 hours. This entire game is a waste of time. It's a 22 hour long story driven game with a cookie cutter 1 dimensional shallow revenge plot but it's defining feature and what sets it apart from every other generic revenge plot is that the protagonist doesn't get revenge. How exquisite is that? the genius of storytelling is immeasurable. You spent 22 hours with nothing better to do than kill somebody and at the end you can't even do that because reasons or something.

    The game doesn’t know what it wants to be. A real depiction of humans and the evil we can do. Or a soft story about forgiveness. I wouldn’t mind the latter if they didn’t make me kill everyone I met and made me actually like the characters. Instead the game wants to be both while failing at both.

    Jugabilidad 10/10

    Voces y actuación 10/10
    Historia 8/10
    Enserio no sé cómo a la gente no le gusta la histora, tal vez sea por qué no lo han jugado, se que la historia no es perfecta, que mucha gente está disgustada por la muerte de Joel ya que muere como un personaje del montón pero al final es lo que el juego quiere dar como mensaje, que el mundo en el que viven es injusto y despiadado. El final, no es tan malo como la gente dice, es más a mí me gustó bastante, a Abby la perdona porque se da cuenta que vengarse no le ha traído nada bueno y que haciéndolo tampoco recuperará a Joel, el final no es el mejor, pero está bastante bien. Otra cosa que se critica es que el juego se alarga mucho y se hace pesado a veces, desde lo personal me ha encantado y no me he aburrido en ningún momento, tal vez se me han echo pesadas alguna parte de infectados pero al pasármela ha sido merecida porque no hay combate que ganes que te deje con mal sabor de boca, en el tema infectados. Abby era un personaje que odiaba y ha pasado de ser eso a un personaje que odio menos, en cuanto a la historia de Abby la veo bastante trabajada y cumple perfectamente el objetivo que tenia, empatizar, porque si es una cabrona pero jugando su parte empatizas con ella. Me parece una falta de respeto enorme para el equipo de Naugthy Dog el review bombing que ha sufrido el juego, porque para nada se merece esto y cualquiera que se haya pasado el juego lo sabrá, sabrá que el juego no merece menos de un 6-7. Metacritic debería tener un sistema para conectar la cuenta de PSN o Xbox que detecte si tienes el juego y que para criticar necesites haber jugado un mínimo de 5 horas o algo así para prevenir del review bombing, porque es raro que en 1 hora haya críticas de 10 y de 0. Bueno paro ya que me estoy enrollando más que en una redacción de castellano, en conclusión el juego es una pasada y la comunidad "gamer" nos demuestra una vez más que es una basura llena de gente toxica, porque para criticar un juego hace falta jugarlo y dudo mucho que toda la gente que le ha puesto notas de 3 a 0 lo haya jugado.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s everything last of us 1 was and more, just in a different way.
    People can’t get mad when a story that’s dear to their heart doesn’t go the way they wanted, that’s is what a great game is all about. Ground breaking twist during the game that hurt but also drive you to resolve a terrible situation makes a player feel mentally vested.
    Joel dying sucks badly (broke my heart) but that’s the way the story was meant to play out, I wish Ella would have had time to say goodbye to Joe but the fact that Ellie didnt just fuels a raging fire in her for revenge.
    I hated the Abby portion of the game at first but when you start to understand the mental and physical trauma she endured fires you an understanding of why you killed Joel is such brutal way.
    I’m about 10 hours in and I feel I’m not only playing a great game, but I’m reading a great book and watching a great movie, all at once. That at the end if today drive me to give it a 10/10 rating

    Gameplay and mechanics are 9/10 (to slow to aim your gun) Graphics and sound are 10/10

    Storyline: when I played Ella and was given her background ever more it made me love. Playing Abby sucked for hours but when you started getting her backstory it made me enjoy playing through her store.

    1. Graphics - pleasing to the eye
    2. Gameplay - is interesting and varied. I personally used almost the entire arsenal that I had.
    3. History - is not so simple with that. You will understand this, as the developers planned, only when you start looking at Ellie from a different perspective.
    introducing a new game character is very risky, but Naughty Dog were able to show and reveal the character very well! If you look at him not biased!
    4. Character growth - Yes! in contrast to the first part.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ellie hates Joel because He killed the cicadas at the end of the first part. Abby hates Joel, because he killed the father of the surgeon. Now Ellie hates Abby. You have understood that violence begets violence. Neil Drakman says that Joel is to blame, but if you remember the end of the first part, there Ellie was unconscious after a massacre with infected and cicadas come, which knock out Joel, put Ellie on the table and want to operate. Again, Neil Drakman says that only Abby's father could have made the medicine, but he died. If you remember the agreement between Joel and Marlin that he takes Ellie to the hospital, and they give him weapons, but as soon as he came to the hospital, the cicadas were ready to kill him, but Marlin intervened and he was told that he would be released, without guns of course. The cicadas could explain everything, give Ellie a choice.. But all the blood is from the cicadas.
    Destroyed as for me the normal ending of the first part, the fact that Ellie found out the truth in the hospital, was depressed and then was an ordinary person, who did not know that she was imunna. But then Joel plays Golf with Abby, realizes that he was still dear to her and goes to kill Abby's friends. In the first part, Tommy was a very good character and kind, but in the second part, he is the complete opposite, promises Ellie that they will go together to take revenge, but secretly leaves. The plot is so straightforward - she remembers everyone in the room and slowly kills everyone and everything is so simple that no new name will appear among her enemies. Then comes the third day when Abby is aiming at Ellie and the game is running out of time and we are already behind Abby. Dogs and Cultists howl at each other, and why ? Because Abby doesn't care what or why and just ignores it. She doesn't care that the dogs torture the cultists, she doesn't care that the Cultists kill the dogs, and so it looks ridiculous that the Renegade Cultists save her and she gets so attached to them that she kills the dogs, but the dogs have saved her life more than once. Why she decided to throw the dogs, where there is everything and go with these cultists-and did not explain normally. She doesn't even try to understand their feelings, they don't mean any harm, and Abby goes and cuts them all out. She is loyal to her Cicada friends, but she also wanted to kill Denny. We don't know much about Abby's friends. Three are killed off-screen, Nora in a couple of frames, Leah too, and Manny is just a cable. What do they have in common, why are they loyal to Abby ? Vaguely. Abby has no character, no motivation, no conflation while playing for her. All Abby's desires and conflicts end during the prologue, when she played Golf with Joel. There is a love triangle between Abby, Mel and Owen, but until the evening of the third day, it is not connected with the events that are happening at all. Krch for 10 hours of playing for Abby is terrible because it is very, very boring.. Abby does not kill Ellie and says that she got out of her eyes, but Ellie still finds Abby in trouble and will go to battle, win, forgive and let go on all four sides.

Yes this game is the most polarizing game but it didn't sucked. Gameplay is superb and the graphics are amazing as well. After completing the game I felt empty like there's a question in my head "was the story great or was it a disappointment"? I am feeling like this wasn't a good story nor a bad story but it was tragic not the way people wanted. It was emotional. Some are just blindly judging the game based on the leaks and some just don't care about anything. I saw the leaks and the full experience was worth. Joel's death was really tragic and sad but I still enjoyed the game. All these negative comments are just not justifiable. Most of the negative reviews are from those who didn't even played the game yet review bombing it. I don't know what else to say it's just I'm feeling empty. This game will be on my mind for a long time. I hope naughty dog makes a 3rd part or even a 4th part which will be a proper conclusion to this wonderful franchise. I will gladly play these games. Please naughty dog ignore the hate you guys are amazing and you know that. You have shown your qualities before and you will show it again. And lastly only one thing I would say is that it's a divisive game and haters will try to troll the ones who loved the game and the people who loved the game will surely defend it.

Received so much hate when it got leaked and I've got a lot of doubt about it but I went through. Last of us part II is one of best games I've had on my ps4, naughty dog breaks so much limits upon what a game can be, totally take a huge turn from the first game, in terms of beautiful high quality graphics, much more calculated and gore gameplay that keeps the spirit of the first game. A heavy, tragic, ambitious, detailed and much more complex story that shows off different perspectives and deeper reflection and realizations of the situations the characters are taking in and showing how flawed and human they can be with acting from what they are and what they will be in the world of an unforgiving and cruel setting. It is such a roller coaster ride of emotions with shocking moments that the game will make you try to invest in its characters. The story shows up the actions turning into huge consequences affecting everyone by the means of revenge, violence, love and hate makes the characters interesting for how human and real they are. There are no forced SJW or LGBTQ+ elements shoved through you it is just what it is and there are no trans characters in the game just to clarify. This is one of the boldest move that the franchise had given showing a different path than the air tight story of Joel and Ellie from each other but it still has the creativity of making a very outstanding game than other repititive elements you see from other games. Such a level up tostory driven game in this generation.

I think it's good that you can play both sides so it gives more depth. However, it would be nice to learn more about the side characters. For example, from Tommy how is his story from leaving the Fireflys to his in-game position. In all, the last of us part II is really successful and is a worthy successor to part I.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: This game is probably one of the most visually stunning games I've played. The mechanics are almost exactly like the first game which I personally liked.

    Cons: Characters are so unlikable it made me apathetic to what happens to them. They tried hard to make me sympathize but most of the dialog makes me roll my eyes or cringe. Story is your typical 'revenge is bad'. Writing seems thrown together by people who have no idea there is a first game. I legitimately didn't have joy playing some parts almost as though I was just forcing myself to get through it. I had high hopes when I saw Abbys character in the trailers and they crushed my excitement for her. The infected are not a main focus at all which is one of the only reasons left for me to like this game.

    Overall I gave this a 4 because of graphics and game play. I was so crushed they did this to one of my favorite story games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is an amazing looking game with great gameplay mechanics. The story is okay as a stand alone game but as a sequel I found it to be boring, disrespectful to fans and not at all what I waited for. Joel’s death is rushed and dumb, he looked so naive by giving his name and location in a place full of armed strangers. That’s nothing like him. Also I never came around liking Abby. She’s just a character I don’t care about. I get what naughty dog was trying to do but I waited 7 years to play as Joel and Ellie, and even if Joel had to die, let me play the whole game as Ellie, the character I actually care about, the one I waited all this time to know more about. I did not wanted to play half of this long awaited game as the character that killed Joel. A couple of hours with Abby would’ve been fine, but not half of the **** game. And Joel’s death aside, I just didn’t want to play with this characters. I mainly loved the first game because of Joel and Ellie’s relationship, all they went through, how they end up in a father/daughter relationship and their backgrounds. Even if Joel had to die, let me play this game as Ellie. If they start with such a bold move like killing Joel, a character all the fans loved, then let the story be about that. Anyone on Abby’s story (including her) could die and I would not care. Also, when you finally catch on the cliffhanger, they make you beat the **** out of Ellie with Abby. What the **** At least let me play that scene as Ellie, let me try to revenge Joel, even if the outcome is exactly the same, that was something that had to be experienced as Ellie.
    Overall it is an unique experience that might be worth playing for the graphics alone. But as a huge fan, I feel they ruined everything I liked about the first game.    … Expand

I realized a part of me expected redemption, almost required it, and I didn't want to pay for it. Not really pay.

    Well, here it is: an adult story, with flawed characters, that takes the game and genre in an unexpected direction, that forces you to think and reckon with your actions. A game that isn't "fun" in its climactic boss battles. A game with characters make choices that we understand are wrong, and suffer consequences that are in hindsight inevitable. This is disruptive, and depressing, and unique in the entirety of games. It will be talked about, and argued about, and sets the template for all "dark" games, anti-heroes, and revenge stories to follow.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let’s start with the positives. This game is a technical marvel. Amazing graphics and environments that aren’t likely to be topped until a couple years into the next console generation. The accessibility options are also really incredible. Hopefully other developers can take notice and implement similar options in their games to making gaming more accessible for people that weren’t able to enjoy it before.

    Gameplay, I’m a bit lukewarm on. It really hasn’t changed much from the first game. To me it was serviceable in the first game, because it was a vehicle to get you through a really awesome story. This probably won’t win you over if you really hated the first game from a gameplays perspective.

    Now onto the story. Full disclosure, I heard about the leaks in advance, but was optimistic that context could make them more understandable. Some of the biggest plot points in fictional history would have seemed totally crazy if you heard about them without context. Unfortunately, at least in my opinion, context did not make things better.

    ND seemed to be set from the start on Joel dying and the game ending a certain way, but apparently couldn’t be bothered with putting much thought into how to get there. Somehow Joel’s 30 years of survival instincts eroded away in 4 short years, and put him in a situation he could have never possibly ended up in.

    Now the ending, throughout the game they really emphasize how far Ellie is willing to go for revenge with heinous act after heinous act, to finally back down at the finish line, a final action that can’t even compare to killing dogs and pregnant women. It’s just really really poor writing, and really doesn’t seem like it could have possibly come from the same creative minds that brought us the original.

    In the end I think a 6/10 is pretty reasonable, because the game does achieve some pretty spectacular things, but stumbled hard at the one thing fans really wanted ND to deliver on.    … Expand

Except to indulge the super ego that is Neil Duckmann. Forget about emotions from the players side. All gone. History: Worst i have seen in a very long time for triple A. The characters are boring, and stupid to say the least. Game mechanic ok but not overly so. -It is really time for outlets like IGN etc. to stop walking around with brown tongues and rather grow some balls and write what they mean. It is allowed in a free society (we don't live in China) to be a little critical, which is what good journalists should do! This is not! a 10/10 game, by a far shot.

They had a real opportunity to make this game something special, and instead made some very strange decisions with regard to the plot and characters.

To give it a zero is wrong, Objectively the graphics and animation is great, the game play is ok but highly repetitive and feels like a real slog towards the end. You have to credit the developers for the sheer effort that has gone into the game and for taking a risk with the story, it just didn't pay off for me. How anyone can give this a 10 and call it a masterpiece is beyond me, its a deeply flawed title but god bless if you liked it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From a writing standpoint, the first game was a quality movie, and this game with all the exposition and tell don't show -mentality, is an okay tv-series.

    Naughty Dog doesn't know how to make a bad game if you just look at the graphics and the mechanics, although not everything is perfect in the combat/stealth/puzzle and whatnot sections. Still very enjoyable though! The problem is the story. Deep flaws in logic, things without explanation, and the worst thing of all, watering down the characters and changing them profoundly, again, without the logic.

    One flashback scene with Joel and Ellie tops all other parts in this game. And really it isn't even a surprise. One quality scene vs lackluster tv-writing and directing... Is this the new standard?

    I don't remember Nate getting his head bashed in after killing thousands of people in Uncharted games. Although now that i think about it... i haven't played the Lost Legacy!

    After finishing the game this is what I can say about it.
    No SJW propaganda to be found. In fact all of the LGBT stuff is handled miserably.

    The premise still suck. A random daughter of a random NPC seeks revenge and it takes her 6 years to find out and conveniently they meet each other.
    This game contains a lot of useless scenes which only purpose is the shock-value, but there's no substance behind them. For example, a dog is killed and characters make a big deal out of it for 2 seconds! Yep, 2 seconds. After this, everything is forgotten.
    "ThIs WoMaN wAs/Is PrEgNanT aNd You ShOuLd FeEl BaD aBoUt It!!!1!" used at least 3 times.
    It's not like everyone in the The Last of Us universe is a piece of **** who has killed countless of other people.
    Another character (jesse) dies, and he's forgotten immediately only to be mentioned again in few sentences just to underline "hey, we haven't forgotten him!!!".

    The plot overall would have been fine if not for pathetic inconsistencies and an invisible hand moving the strings.
    For example. Joel becomes a clueless idiot for the sake of drama. This guy barely trusted himself in the first game, but now writers want you to believe he has softened over the past 5 years.
    Which again, would make sense. Too bad that the apocalypse is still going on you know, even if the game has forgotten about it.
    For real, infected are just random NPCs now. Nobody cares about them, nobody seem to look for a solution (funny, huh?). The apocalypse doesn't even exists.

    Abby is a professional sniper when the plot wants (I'm not even exaggerating, she kills Jesse with one shot to the head after he enters a room running!!!), but becomes 100% clueless when she has to kill Ellie and Tommy.
    How do we call this? Yes, plot armor. Literally, Abby wants to kill Tommy but for whatever reason she doesn't. It happens 3 times.
    Ellie wants to kill Abby but for whatever reason she doesn't.
    And so on.
    Not to mention that Abby seems The Rock or a bootleg wrestler depending on what the writers are trying to accomplish. Which is to say that they don't even know what they're after if in one scene her strenght is brutal, and in the other she can't do ****.

    The ending. Boy oh boy, what a crap one. Look, I don't even care if Ellie lets Abby live, but ffs, in 2020 you can't come up with something better than the most pathetic cliché ever?
    Basically "omG, rEvEnGe Is BaD".
    Freaking hell!!!! You've killed hundreds of people, and you realize it at the end through a flashback?

    I've seen some people justifying this with "Ellie suffers from PTSD". What's this? Another case of "let's look what Lara Croft does?".
    But anyway: are you for real?
    She was 13 in the first game when a freak tried to rape her. It took her 6 years to develop PTSD?
    LMAO @ this.

    Gameplay is basically an improved version of the first game. Movements are more fluid, but still nothing to write home about.
    Jumps still feel clunky/scripted.
    Animations are top notch as usual.
    Mechanics are still the same. Which is the most baffling thing, because they were outdated even in 2013.
    IA is much better. Although, as usual, no peripheral vision whatsoever: and this is very easy to exploit. If you move fast enough when you're in close range, basically the gameplay becomes ridiculous. Because enemies have trouble spotting you and their reaction time is slow when up-close.
    Level design is excellent in the arenas. Otherwise it's just the usual "follow this line".

    On the long run, the gameplay becomes repetitive. I mean, it took me 23 hours to finish the game and the second half still plays the same as the first one (if you are a stealth player that is).

    TL;DR good gameplay, good level design, mediocre writing, uninspired plot.
    Certainly not the 95/100 (huge WTF) "professional" want you to believe. Not even close to be a 9/10.    … Expand

    3 for the nice graphics - but that's all. Rest is uninspired and meaningless. You can't put queer people in a game thinking that's all you need to get a good story ... no, that does not work ... not for me.

    If you want to play games with a "deep" story I'd recommend games like "Witcher 3", "Pathologic 2", "The Last Of Us" 1, "Red Dead Redemption" 2 or "Persona 5".

    Graphics = very good, gameplay = functional, but not progressed from original really. Story = pile of stinking crap.... manipulative, disrespectful of the first game and a mess.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was the old bait and switch! After completing the game, I was angry because I realized all of the trailers for the game made it seem like you were getting a Joel and Ellie game. There is even a part in the trailer where she looks at her bracelet and gets a Dina flashback, leading you to believe that she was seeking revenge for something that happened to Dina. I hated playing as Abby and that is about half of the game.

    This is a story driven game. It doesn't matter that the environment and graphics are amazing, if it completely destroys everything you loved about the first game. It is a complete fan disservice. I will never again pre-order any games.    … Expand

    Good graphics and atmosphere but very poor story. Why the hell did you do that. I would have refund if I have a chance. Very big disappointment.

    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]
