    This game has very unlikeable characters who make stupid decisions. The story is bad and the gameplay is okay at best.

    I wish metacritic have had integration with PSN / Steam etc so that we can see if the haters actually played the game.

    It's 9/10. I can see how some parts of the game can be overwhelming and frustrating, but it's a game story worth going through.

    Feels like the game "A Plague Tale: Innocence" or a sniper elite game with much better graphics and storytelling. Combat hasn't much to offer, fighting feels and looks good.

Atmosphere is breathtaking. Everyone giving bad scores because of SJW stuff, but we can see they didn't play nor watched the game. Because this isn't even a side plot in this game. I would give this game an 8 but because of these people I gave 9. This is not a game that deserves these low ratings. Expand

    Don’t listen to the hate and go in with an open mind. If you read the spoilers, you somewhat know what to expect — the story is a downer. However, the storytelling is compelling. Is it what we expected? No. Is it challenging? Yes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have NOT completed the game. I am several hours in and have only 2 issues thus far. First, the jump button is completely lame! No need for it, shoulda took a page from Metal Gear Solid V the Phantom Pain. I mean the jump is SUPER lame. Second, how INCREDIBLY LUCKY was Abbey to find Joel after saving her life and after spending Years hunting him and planning and ALL THAT to have him fall in her lap to sucker shoot his knee off? Ugh, PLEASE! Thats that lazy writing some critics have talked about. But other than that...Wow! How utterly amzing is the game? 9 out of 10! Thats how much! If you ever where a Joel and Ellie fan before then part 2 only compliments the part 1. Never played the first but interested in the 2nd? DONT BE! NOT until you play the first. Too many flashbacks will have you confused in the Last of Us timeline. As the the haters? You all can get infected. Oh and Dr. Uckmann, keep on blowing peoples minds, think there's still plenty in the tank! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a deeper meaning than just revenge. It’s the people that get hurt during the process of trying to get revenge and not being able to let something go eventually leads to losing the people you love. It shows how revenge can ruin everything you ever loved. I ultimately ended up not disliking Abby as much as I thought I would, I actually don’t dislike her at all. This game portrays everything they meant to perfectly. I understand that people did not like that Joel died but I cannot deny the fact that it is a great game. Expand

    This game will leave you in the dirt hopeless challenging your will of reasoning. While showing you how sometimes it's hard to justify breaking the cycle.

    Naughty Dog has really challenged the industry and most importantly fans of story telling. Sometimes you find yourself laughing in small scenes just due to the hand gestures characters do or facial expressions. It's acting is done so well in the animation department that littlest animation done by a character can tell the whole dialogue.

    Naughty Dog has proven new industry standard tech in the game engine department with TLOU2. The smallest features go a long way in making this game feel like a full package. Pushing the current gen to it's limits with a sense understanding why they pushed the ps4 so far.

    I give this game a 9 because 30fps is hard to make TLOU2 a 10/10. Shooting games require high framerates for a sense of control when aiming. But thanks to aim assist it helps for the most part. And item's feel useless for the majority of the game. The story is gripping, the environment is beautiful but you don't feel that your exploration is paid off for. But maybe this is Naughty Dog's way of telling the story of the environment around you.

    Reviews will be bad from other user's. I understand why. Loss is hard and life is not always pretty and you may live a life of hardship during your full ride on this planet but it's up to you to break the cycle. How far can you go to find peace, closure or a sense of bliss to truly break the cycle?

    Dismiss the negative reviews. For those who don't know, there has been a ton of controversy for TLOU2 having things like LGBTQ acceptance (which is a big no-no I guess?) and having realistic proportions for their characters (usually these people like immersion, but I guess not now that immersion means their fantasy girl is more athletic than their fat ass).

For those who don't know, there has been a ton of controversy for TLOU2 having things like LGBTQ acceptance (which is a big no-no I guess?) and having realistic proportions for their characters (usually these people like immersion, but I guess not now that immersion means their fantasy girl is more athletic than their fat ass). These idiots just can't shut their mouth whenever anything is "political", i.e. has a character who is anything but a straight white male with zero personality. They simply cannot fathom having a main character be something other than what they are: a boring guy with no personality and no motivation. It is simply disgusting to think that, at the point of me writing this, 6000 people were so affronted at the idea of diversity and acceptance for their fellow man that they felt the need to review bomb a masterful game. To the close-minded people who are also about to give a bad review for no reason other than "politics": I have a message for you. Go **** yourself. Go stick a lego up your microdick's urethra as you bawl your eyes out because your tiny mind cannot fathom diversity. Go back to your little basement and hop on **** Keep your hate on that **** useless website and stay there. Either learn to accept others or stay in your ad-hoc incel bunker for the rest of your life. I'm sure me and many others hope that you are able to choose the first option, but know that our expectations are so low for people like you that if you chose the second option we wouldn't even bat an eye. 9/10 game, 0/10 fanbase.

Conclusión: si estás aquí y quieres comprar el juego y tienes dudas, hazlo, ni te deje llevar por las notas falsas que le están dando al juego, es un juego de mínimo una nota 8 en adelante, no le di 10 por qué conserva algunos aspectos que mejorar .

    -they challenge your views, both on what a game can do and what it can be.

    TLOUS2 is an amazing game:

    - it improves over all the good aspects of the first game.
    - Story telling is very well done, character design is superb.
    - The STRONG point of the first game was in the Character design and growth which is the main focus of this game, not in the main "plot line" of the game. Naughty dog did not reinvent story telling with TLOUS (since this kind of plots have been all over the place in post apocalyptic literature, it goes to show you how ignorant the majority of this reviewers are).
    -They designed a story that follows the natural progress and logical flow starting from the very last scene of the LAST OF US.
    - Its a game that doesn't try to please you, or go out of its way to give you what you want (go to Disney for that).

    If you want a game to please you and that you know what to expect from it then please buy Call of Duty and Assassin's creed, I don't hear you complaining about those games being always the same and having the most deviating stories. Gameplay virtually hasn't changed for the last 10 years.

Even though The Last of Us Part II relishes in making players uncomfortable and reminding them characters can lose everything at a moment’s notice, those bleak traits are part of the game’s appeal even if the charm’s a morbid one. It’s a monumental effort in storytelling and a model for tales of vengeance and repercussions pushed forward by gratifying gameplay, and while not everything you do will sit right with you, the game never leads players to believe the result would be anything different.

While the game definitely does have a brutal story, and does not allow us (as the player) to ever be comfortable, it is still an amazing achievement in gaming and story telling. The “woke” moments that so many felt were going to be forced, were not existent. Seriously. One of the largest, and most “woke” parts of the leaks turned out to be completely false. If the game were exactly what the leaks led us to believe, then I would be standing with you, bashing Naughty Dog for turning on it’s audience.

    PLEASE do not think that you should skip the game because you read the leaks and were upset. Not all the information was accurate, and you would be doing yourself a massive disservice by missing this experience.

    My review:

    The game is genuinely incredible, and is a true predecessor to the original game that we all fell in love with. The gameplay has vastly improved and has updated with the times. TLOU, while incredible for it’s storytelling, was never the most groundbreaking gameplay experience. TLOU2 has taken the same DNA and made it far more tense, and fast paced. Add that to Naughty Dog’s largest maps ever, and you have a recipe for success. There are plenty of places to explore and most all, feel important. Whether it is a store that offers extra dialogue, or character building cut scenes; or a small abandoned enemy outpost that restocks you and sends you on a treasure hunt for a lost supply drop. Please make sure you note, that there is far more to do outside of the “on-rails” story.

    The graphics from a Naughty Dog game are always expected to be “Best-in-Class” level, and TLOU2 definitely does not ruin that expectation. I played the game with 4K with HDR, and it was beautiful. If you have a PlayStation 4 Pro, and a 4K HDR tv, this game is a must own for that experience alone. Finally the story. I am NOT going to give away any spoilers, so I am going to have to be a bit generic. The game is dark. There is never a moment to breathe. The sense of danger is always there for the characters, and the sense of dread is even more present. Naughty Dog knows what made the first game great, and dialed it up to 11. The new characters are not quite as memorable as Tess, Joel, or Ellie, but you will still find yourself caring for them through your care for Ellie. The story gets moving fairly quickly, and only picks up pace from there. Once I was about 6 hours in, I found myself looking around for collectibles less, just to see what happens next in the story.

    Overall, if you enjoyed the first game, then TLOU2 is a must play. The game is so much more that the leaks led us to believe. Do yourself the favor of playing this game.

    Just give the game of chance. Is it as good as part 1? Surely not. But it is yet a fantastic game. Everybody knows movie sequels, where the story goes in another direction as hoped. Many of them are great movies, although or maybe even because you expect something different.
    You simply should not miss this game just because of other voices.

    O the last of us parte 2 tem uma boa mecânica, ótima jogabilidade, músicas e efeitos sonoros perfeitos, bons gráficos, em fim gostei de praticamente tudo no jogo, uma coisa que as vezes falha no jogo é a inteligência artificial do inimigos, mais no geral esta tudo ok, pra mim é um dos melhores jogos nessa geração.

    Alright so I'm sure you've seen all the negative reviews and I would just like to address some of the things that people didn't like about this game.

    1. Ellie being gay. This shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone who played the DLC of the first game as it becomes clear that Ellie has a thing for girls. Ellie being gay isn't forced and it adds to the game. 2. The whole revenge thing.

    2. The whole revenge thing. This game explores how revenge is multilayered and sometimes killing everyone isn't the solution to a problem.

    3. The gameplay. Honestly, the gameplay isn't too different from the original asides from some additions such as dodging, and new things that can be crafted. If they did do an overhaul of the controls than the game would be completely different.

    The only thing that I think it could have improved on was making a more fleshed out story although it is decent

    The Last of Us Part II is not perfect. Creating a "perfect" piece of media is, in my opinion, impossible. However, this game is pretty damn close. It's a shame that people decided it sucked before they even gave it a chance.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think that a lot (not all, not the majority) of the hate is just homophobic **** I totally respect people that give a negative opinion with well based ideas and I’m happy that everyone can express their opinion, but when i read “just LGBTQ propaganda”
    or “gay agenda” i think that is just pure hate without context. Again, i understand people that don’t love the story or the gameplay, but rating 0 just for “a political view”, or in general rating anything without experiencing it before is just immoral.

    Personally i really loved the game, the death of Joel was really upsetting for me, but you get the chance to see him quite often in the game.
    The gameplay was pretty similar of the part 1 honestly; visual and audio were phenomenal, wow.

    P.S. Stop, Abby is not transgender (Even if she was it wouldn’t have been a problem obviously).
    Hating to a woman just because she’s really tall and muscular is stupid, does fragile masculinity feel threatened by her? Lmao

While I can't see myself giving this game a perfect score (no one is perfect!), it definitely is one of the most necessary games that everyone should play. It has stunning graphics, and anyone who played the first game will be pleased to know not much of the gameplay has changed. The biggest draw I felt was the progressive theme that really had a lasting impact on me. White men were mostly done away with in the story, with strong female leads taking the reins. This game is also a landmark in achievement; featuring what I believe is the first transgender love scene in gaming history. The game is a milestone in dark storytelling, where you shouldn't expect to be happy with your circumstances at any point in the game. In fact, by the end, I was wondering just what kind of emotional pain the developers were intending to inflict upon me by the end of the long path of depression. If you want an incredibly inclusive narrative that puts bigots right where they belong, check this game out! Hopefully the next installment in the series will feature even more the the same scenery, gameplay, and progressive values that any non-judgmental person can enjoy! Expand

    Primero que nada creo que la gente esta muy enojada opinando del juego que Naughty Dog nos dejo.
    Puedo entender que la gente este pensando que en este juego hay muy poco de lo que nos dejo la primer entrega, en eso coincido, pero creo que no es para tanto, me parece que tanto en jugabilidad como en gráficos este juego nos dio muchísimo y eso hay que valorarlo, también comprendo que algunos vean que hay cosas en el juego por conveniencia o por ''romper estereotipos'' cosa que yo creo que no es algo que entre en una discusión si un juego esta bien echo o no, en eso creo que la gente en general esta de acuerdo conmigo.
    Ahora, hablando de la historia en general el TLOU2 tiene algunos errores para los mas fanáticos de la saga o mejor dicho esta entrega encaro de una forma errónea algunas secciones de la historia, pero creo que no es suficiente para que el TLOU2 sea tan criticado por la gente en general, en mi opinión la gente no valora cosas que el juego nos deja como los momentos de tensión en cada enfrentamiento ya sea con infectados como con los integrantes de los diferentes bandos, la cinemáticas que se disfrutan bastante, los gráficos de cada sector del videojuego que son muy buenos y perfectamente pulidos en general, las armas y los sonidos ya sea de muerte de los infectados o de los gritos de los no infectados cuando estos también mueren o nos descubren en caso de salir del sigilo, ademas de la banda sonora muy buena que este juego nos regala, cada cámara de ejecución es increíble y podemos ver a partir de esto que el juego es bastante gráfico en cada ejecución, ademas de que juega un papel prefecto haciendo que el juego sera divertido y disfrutable, tanto de ver como de jugar, creo que eso es algo que también hay que valorar para bien y suma puntos a su favor.
    En mi opinión el TLOU2 es un muy buen juego en muchos aspectos y parece que incluso candidato a pelear por el goty, de todas maneras eso ya es gusto personal de cada uno, yo solo aporto mi opinión como hacemos todos y creo que en conclusión la nueva entrega de Naughty Dog es un juego muy bueno, divertido, entretenido, complicado, y en mi opinión recomendable.

    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.
