    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest I’m a little conflicted. I would’ve been okay if the game ended at the farm chapter. I think Ellie got her wake up call a little too late. Killing Abby wouldn’t bring back Joel. Also killing Joel wouldn’t bring back any of the fireflies. The game was brutal, it really slapped me in the face numerous times. Both Abby and Ellie lost the light, they were driven by revenge and anger that got the best of them. Ellie’s biggest fear became true. Being all alone, left by the people who she loves the most. The very end when she dropped the guitar was really poetic- I felt like it was her way of saying goodbye to Joel and the revenge path that she had chosen.I hope she gets back at Jackson and stays with the good memories she created with him. I overall enjoyed the game, I liked the flashbacks, the new combat system, the freedom of exploring buildings ,the new upgrading system. The graphics are just amazing. The soundtrack is great.I appreciate everyone that put their soul into making this game. Expand

    wonder what happened to the writers to deliver such a downgrade, is really bad, if it wasn{t for such a terrible writing it could be a real 10, but the story is such a nonsense, people are just blind by visuals and music, the only reason I give it a 5 is for the amazing work of artists and gameplay team

    El juego no es revolucionario, no espere mejores gráficos, no espere mejor jugabilidad, si me encontraba esas dos cosas igual que la primera parte no me hubiera molestado
    Pero si tu estas jugando la segunda parte es por su historia y la historia es mala. La jugabilidad no se salva alargan el juego en un porque si

    Having not played the first game I’m aware my opinion is a lot more objective to this game than what many fans of the original would have expected this game to be. I’m currently playing through the first Last of Us and having already connected with Elli and Joel’s growing bond, I can absolutely see why this game would at the very least confuse people and also leave people disappointed andHaving not played the first game I’m aware my opinion is a lot more objective to this game than what many fans of the original would have expected this game to be. I’m currently playing through the first Last of Us and having already connected with Elli and Joel’s growing bond, I can absolutely see why this game would at the very least confuse people and also leave people disappointed and annoyed by the fact that you need to play as Abby for the majority of the second half of the game. Firstly, I think the one aspect of the game that many people can agree with is the amazing visuals. The game looks incredible, it’s some serious Red Dead scenery sometimes and it’s able to capture the many set pieces of a dying and overgrown world (but that’s supposed to be the Cheesecake Factory!). The visuals also allow for some of the best and most realistic performances from the mocap actors. Another aspect of the game is the combat. Oh lord, there are moments where of course I’m elated at sweeping a room full of stupid whistling idiots but then when I shoot someone and they start screaming for their life I don’t feel as good. The combat really drains you, I’ve never wanted cut scenes to appear more in my life just so I could take a break. The areas where you need to fight are really wide open and can sometimes be really daunting. It really makes you consider all your options and my god is it tense. BUT! The story. From my point of view having not been previously immersed into this world and with no expectation from previous experiences with the first game I thought the story was pretty good. It’s nothing masterful and there’s some bad pacing issues in the first half of the game, however, overall I think there’s a key message that is effectively communicated as the game goes on. I was engaged by the characters, I was sucked into the chemistry between Elli and Dina and as for Abby, well don’t tell anyone I said this okay, but I think she’s a really well done character and the game really picks up when you play as her. I’ve seen this with Pewdiepie and some other people I’ve either talked to or watched saying that they would have really enjoyed Abby if they played as her first. That makes sense and it would eliminate the disdain people had towards her, but I’m not sure the story is as effective if that’s the case. There’s a spoilercast episode where Neil Druckman (the guy who people seem to forget made Uncharted 1-4 and TLOU1) talks about how when the plot leaked and the big moment of the story was revealed all of a sudden it was seen by the audience with no context. It was interesting to hear him say that all of a sudden instead of it being a decision for the story it was just a decision and people had made their minds up before even playing it. Having said that many people who didn’t see any of the leaks shared the same opinion of being annoyed and disappointed. So overall, I really enjoyed The Last of Us Part 2. I was immersed in the story and it kept me on edge. There’s some great cinematic moments that look amazing with the visuals and I think even though it’s caused such an upset, I think that’s somewhat the point. I don’t think there’d be many games out today that would make the bold choices this game does, and I really respect that. For me it pays off. The game probably lives somewhere in between all the hysteria it’s created. It’s not some pandering LGBT marketing ploy and it’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a game that caused discussion and kept me thinking about it well after playing it. There’s a lot more good than bad and I think it’s really worth playing. Expand

    With everything going on in the world, I picked up TLOU2 with the hope of escaping reality and enjoying myself, which feels like a reasonable ask given TLOU is one of my all-time favorite games. Instead, this game took everything magical about the original and flushed it down the toilet. Like others have said, it felt like an agenda was forced down your throat for the games entirety.

    The original E3 trailer is GROSSLY misleading. It is easy to see why Sony censored anything related to the second half of the game. That's the most I can say without spoiling the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From intentionally using a falsified trailer years ago, to making us play as the dreadful, hateful character Abby for however many hours, this game was a mess from the jump. it is nothing evenly remotely similar to its predecessor, which in many of our eyes was an absolute masterpiece, and probably the biggest letdown of 2020, and that's saying a lot. The fact that they killed the dude who, along with Ellie, made us so emotionally attached to the Last of Us Part One was such a despicable act of disrespect to any fans of the original game. Not only was Joel killed, he was literally tortured to death by a character many of us couldn't bear playing later on in the game for 10 hours or more. There is not a single redemptive factor about Abby except for maybe her 'saving' of Yara and Lev, despite NaughtyDog's vehement attempts to try and actually make her seem like a person instead of the absolute monster that she is. Also, NaughtyDog, the whole white savior thing, even if she is a woman who 'takes no **** has a heart, is built like an ox' blah blah blah, really wasn't the message to put out in today's day and age. Like come on I know you guys are a little smarter than that. Like don't get me wrong, there were some parts of the game I really enjoyed, such as the paleontologist's museum. A beautifully written and animated scene which was honestly tugged at the heart strings, especially the scene in the space shuttle. But it's only allowed to be beautiful because it's so strongly connected to the first game, and is a highlight of Joel and Ellie's relationship, which is both beautiful and cruel at the same time. I understand the message that you were trying to employ when you wrote the script, but the whole idea of 'revenge is bad and it'll only get you or your loved ones is so overdone'. This game could've been so much and more, but honestly, the plot was so flawed, and its execution of this plot was butchered. Did you guys see the end of Game of Thrones? Surely you could see what effect trying to 'subvert expectations' can have on any form of media, from film to games, on it's fanbase. Don't even get me started on those stupid god damn shock deaths. So ridiculous.

    In review, remake the game, visit the roots of the last of us part one. Animators and coders, you did a stellar job, the game is smooth, fun to the run around even though there a lot of running around, and the combat is a class act.

    Scriptwriters and a certain director who I hope never touch this series again? Do better.

    You can tell by playing this through that the writers have no idea what they're doing, ham-fisted ideas, plot conveniences and boring characters (the writers really treat us like idiots on this last one).

O jogo contem gráficos e jogabilidade perfeitos, mas compro playstation, por causa da experiencia da historia no single player, esse jogo ficou a desejar tanto no enredo quanto na historia. Aprendi uma coisa com a ND (Neil Druckmann). NÃO devemos comprar mais jogos em pre venda ou lançamento, pela mentira contada no decorrer do desenvolvimento. Se eu pudesse pegava meu dinheiro de volta. Fiquei muito chateado como estão agindo com a persuasão e com descaso com a opinião pública, sei que sou apenas um, mas por direito meu, melhor forma será o boicote. Diretor acabou com historia. DEVERIAM CONTRATAR DE VOLTA A AMY HENNING. Quando mudamos de geração , esperei por esse jogo ate o final dessa geração do playstation 4 e vocês destruíram minhas expectativas. Nunca vi um roteiro tão péssimo, com falhas de conexões em alguns pontos e momentos de frases subliminares sem efeito positivo na trama. Eu não queria ser crítico, mas o primeiro THE LAST OF US demonstrou uma combinação unica do domínio técnico e com o conhecimento entre abordar uma trama com um ponto nevrálgico e equilibrar os outros elementos, sem ter que jogar princípios teóricos acima do que era fundamental para um bom entendimento do jogo. Essa trama se passou em vários pontos emocionais, tentando pre-estabelecer empatia com o acordo de romantização em tudo. O ódio foi suprimido por limites emocionais, a amor foi banalizado por consequências surreais, se era pra conduzir sempre por uma reflexão no lado sócio-educativo, não colocassem tudo de forma lúdica e fantasiosa. A desenvolvedora deveria garimpar as inteligencias emocionais e não coloca-lás em confronto entre razão e emoção, por que a humanidade não sabe controlar a razão quanto mais a emoção. O jogo está polarizando as pessoas pra que tenham um raciocínio, não que isso seja ruim, a polarização é perfeita, desde que a razão não seja encoberta pela emoção. Agir de forma visceral deixa as pessoas intolerantes com a opinião divergente.

    E VOCÊS ESTÃO DIVIDINDO A POPULAÇÃO, APENAS POR UM PROJETO, QUE INFELIZMENTE NÃO BUSCA O EQUILÍBRIO EMOCIONAL PELA FELICIDADE.

    Fiquei muito triste pela estrutura montada da desenvolvedora NAUGHTY DOG.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished this game, I understand why people were mad and didn’t like the game but honestly, I feel like a lot of people missed the point of the game. SPOILER ALERT: at first when Joel died, I was angry. I didn’t understand why they had to kill off such a big character so early in the game. I felt as if the game was lack lustre and they ran out of ideas. However, as the game went on I began to understand exactly why they did it, and everything that happens following that fits together so perfectly and tells and amazing story of why Joel was killed and gave a great story of Abby and Ellie’s pasts. I understand people also had a lot of issues with playing as Abby. But I feel like playing as her was so important to the story, it showers that Abby wasn’t actually a bad person, although you want to hate her so much for what she did. Abby and Levs relationship parallels amazingly with Joel and Ellie’s relationship, albeit not on as deep of a level. It shows us how people can do horrible things yet still not actually be that evil. We saw the same with Joel in the first game. In the first game Joel talks about his past, how he used to be a hunter and kill random people for no reason just for supplies. He also killed off a huge number of fireflies but at the end of it was caring for a small girl, which made us fall in love with his character and everything about him. Although Abby isn’t as likeable as Joel, I saw the same with her and Lev. It showed us all about the consequences of our actions and how everything has a domino effect in the world. Joel trying to save Ellie, ultimately led to his doom when he killed Abbys dad. Same thing when Abby killed Joel, it ultimately led to the demise of everyone she cared about. I feel like people really need to give this game a chance. They need to get past the fact that Joel died and have an open mind about this game. This game is very different to the first one which is why I think people are dismissing it so much, but it has all of the great story telling, depth and emotion that we love from naughty dog games. It was definitely a risk but I feel like they did an amazing job putting this game together. The story is enticing, although sort of slow and points. The gameplay is phenomenal and tense, the enemies and AI in these games are the best I’ve ever seen in any game I’ve played. The reaction time of the clickers, the enemies, everything is *chefs kiss*. I love this game so much I’m finding it difficult to choose which is my favourite out of the first game and the second one. Overall, 1000% worth the play, if you can keep an open mind about the story and just let it take you away, then you will love it. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's difficult to talk about this game without addressing the elephant in the room. Obviously, the tragic death of Joel is a controversial and divisive move. But many of those fans who either didn't actually play the game, watched on YouTube or read the spoilers and decided to instantly review bomb based upon this need to learn how to deal with loss. It wasn't done as a cheap shock tactic. The death of Joel is literally the driving force of the entire plot. It would have been so easy to make a game where Ellie and Joel set out on another cross country adventure. It would have been popular with fans and sold well. But it was not the story that was told, nor was it destined to be. What instead unfolds is a tragic and bleak look into the consequence of revenge. The sheer discomfort we feel at learning about the darker sides of our favourite protagonists, as well as the slow realisation that they were never really the good guys begin with, is an unpleasant sensation. It doesn't sit well with us, especially when compared to the relatively uplifting story of the first installment.

    But the story progresses, and we delve into Ellie's hate driven revenge quest. And its brutal and cathartic, while dotted with sweet moments of earnest love and nostalgic visits to museums. As we start to see these memories become darker, and the consequences of the first game begin to manifest in broken trust and estrangement, so too do we see present day Ellie fall deeper into a pit of despair and hatred. Its uncomfortable, particularly when she makes certain unforgivable decisions. We want to change her actions but we can't. And that's really what makes it so powerful. This is not "poor writing" - it's a testament to how much we have grown to love and genuinely care for these fictional characters.

    And then the second major divisive decision comes into play at the midway point of the game. Spending the second half playing as the character you hate the most, and have just spent hours hunting relentlessly, is at first incredibly jarring. The second wave of 0 score reviews from people who actually did play the game almost certainly stemmed from this. I get it. Why would you want to hear what Abby has to say? You don't care, you just want her brought to justice. That's how I felt initially, and I spent my first hour or so as Abby feeling very apprehensive. However, by the end of Seattle Day 3, I didn't hate Abby. In fact, I was almost rooting for her. I grew to love her as a strong protagonist. I liked Owen, even if he was a bit of a douchey bro. I liked Manny, he was a decent human being who just wanted to take care of his father. I liked Mel, who had no interest in hurting anyone. And I absolutely fell in love with Lev and Yara, and their entire overarching plot.

    I didn't want Abby to die. I didn't want Ellie to die. But they both did terrible things with similar motives. The final few hours of gameplay were incredibly tense, stressful, and emotional. I have never experienced anything quite like TLOU part 2 in any other form of media. I understand people who legitimately played the game to completion and still didn't like it. It's not a happy game, nobody is a winner and everyone is a villain. But i absolutely loved every second of it. For me, it was an absolute masterpiece of storytelling, and it will stay with me for a long time. Unquestionably 10/10.

I'm going to make my own mind up, maybe the story of what leads to the spoilers would make up for main character deaths. No, no, no, it doesn't, I'm maybe 1 hour in if that, and the graphics and textures of the world are awful , the interactions with scenery is like that of a nintendo64 game. But then neil druckman whom has literally put himself in the game he has ruined literally spits on Joel as he lays there bleeding from his head, and then he thretans to shoot ellie and is only stopped but another npc. Thanks to amazon I can return this piece of crap and get my money back. Defiantly not a MUST PLAY, more of a MUST AVOID. Like spiderman 3 and the last jedi, this game has ruined what could have been a great franchise. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Genuinely genius game. I don't think people realize this, so it has to be said: Joel is a piece of **** He's great, don't get me wrong, he's one of my favorite characters of all time! He's a very kind and likeable man just trying to do his best, but like my alcoholic father who disowned us he is incredibly flawed and his flaws literally damned the entire human race. Not only this, but he did kill Abby's father. Abby killed Ellie's surrogate father. It's a revenge story where the point of the story is that "the violence doesn't end until the first party forgives." Playing as Abby serves to accentuate this theme by humanizing her as a sympathetic villain. I've also seen people say that the way Ellie acts makes no sense, but she's always been an incredibly angry character. She was filled with rage in the first one, and Joel taught her to be kind, but he betrayed her so it makes a lot of sense that she would fall back into her darkness. Both characters are equally right for taking revenge, unfortunately neither are completely right for it. Someone needed to forgive, and both learned that by the end of the story. The plot points are great, the character development is fantastic, the improved gameplay is orgasmic, and y'all just don't know how to behave because you're salty about storytelling elements you don't understand.

    Graphics: Pretty meh compared to other AAA games. Pretty cool landscapes at the end.
    Sound: Not a huge fan of it. Nothing memorable. Sound effects are pretty cool
    Story: New characthers which are really thrown in your face. They are really boring and no one asked for them. I have no idea what they were thinking..

    Overall: DO NOT BUY THIS unless you find it in a bargain bin in some store. It's not worth the money. I'm just gonna pretend the second one didn't happen.

    I'm REALLY disappointed.

    El juego se divide en dos partes, una con su inicio que pinta de lujo, hasta cierto punto concreto de la trama, donde se va todo por el desagüe, y el juego entra en una espiral de odio, violencia, y situaciones surrealistas, y la otra donde controlamos a un personaje hasta casi el final, al que parece quieran meternos con calzador, que empaticemos con el, o que se yo.

    Ya se ha dicho todo lo que se tenía que decir de esta basura argumental que no hay por donde cogerla, me parece absurdo siquiera aprobar al juego en ese sentido, la sensación de contradicción en tantas cosas, o que nada tienen que ver a lo que nos podíamos esperar... en fin, a la vista esta el resultado.

    El juego no es recomendable, pero es que parece, que si no te gusta eres homófobo, de ultra derecha, machista opresor, y no se cuantas gilipolleces mas, politizar esto ya me da nauseas, y muestra como esta hoy en día la sociedad, Marlene en la primera parte, me pareció de lo mejor del juego quitando al dúo dinamita (Joel - Ellie) pero todos los personajes nuevos simplemente siento que no aportan NADA por mucho que me que los vendan.

    Así que menos decir que si review bombing y chorradas, y mas jugar, y pensar a la hora de escribir personajes y historias, porque esto de obra maestra no tiene nada de nada, vamos estoy convencido que un grupo de fans del primer juego, en una tarde pensando, se sacan una mejor trama que lo que ha defecado ND, que triste que el mundo de los videojuegos este así, decepción al nivel de MGS 5.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Review of The Last of Us Part II
    SPOILERS AT THE END

    The strongest point of the game is the story.
    It's hard for me to call this game just a game because I think it goes through that conventional narrative barrier of telling a story. To start the game begins strong (very strong for many) I am speechless and devastated, as in the first game, and makes it clear what this second part was about.

    The story is not linear, this makes it even more exciting because they are telling us a story and then they put a part of the story but the past that makes it turn and add or change the meaning of what you are doing now and this happens repeatedly in history and makes the game feel non-repetitive. The only thing I did not like was the change in what the climax of the game felt, because when this happens I feel a kind of brake on the momentum that we were carrying and it was such that I even wanted to stop my playing time but This little by little is achieving traction and weight to what would come next.

    Then there are the graphics, the light effects and the sound, these are incredible and unprecedented, they make the reality hit of the game feel much stronger and they transport you very easily to the situation presented as few games can. , is a triumph over the console hardware. Music is an atmospheric seal in the first game and we see the same again in the present by the hand of the original composer, Gustavo Santaolla.

    The gameplay did not evolve at all and it is still the same concept, for me, that is good because if it was not bad in the last game then it is better not to touch it, I admit that it would have been interesting to see something new and not more of the same. The elaboration of grenades, arrows and healing kits use the same system as in the first and the same with the ammunition that is scarce at all times and with the way to improve your weapons and equipment. I was disappointed with the difficulty of the game in general, I was playing it in difficult mode and I did not feel any difficulty about the enemies or the resources they gave me, I did not feel the challenge as in the first game.

    The scenarios are beautiful and sometimes even terrifying but above all they make you feel like you're in the game because they take care of even the smallest detail. From being on top of a skyscraper to being deep in a forest being hunted at night. At the time of the confrontations you as a player can decide whether to want to face all the enemies in a violent way or to leave stealthily without anyone noticing (this is a little more difficult).

    The enemies that we meet do not go beyond being the typical infected, including totally new ones, and then there are the human enemies that do not go beyond being the typical militarized surviving groups and the extremist cults, each group has its own way of dressing and its characteristic weapons, I was very impressed that they added so much detail to the enemies that when you kill one, the other one of his team shouts his name as if he knew it and this makes it give more realism to the game.

    HERE ARE SPOILERS ...

    The main characters that are Ellie and Abby develop them in a different way since one goes down a path of revenge, killing everything that comes their way and the other goes down a path like reflection, helping even people who have ever they wanted to kill her. The two have their own stories and at some point they collide giving the player the perspective of both making the game deeper, but being Ellie's game and having Joel's story from the first game as background we lean more to Ellie feeling even guilty of our way of acting.
    The secondary characters help the story a lot, they do not feel filling or empty, on the contrary I think they have to some extent an interesting story to tell, in fact I think they influence Ellie and Abby's decisions more than one thinks .

    CONCULSION
    This game is another masterpiece from Naughty Dog's studio in The Last of Us series, it's a story hard to digest, understand, and beat. It is a journey of emotions and discoveries that the game left behind and that now delivers an incredible story never before seen with characters that we will remember and that marked us. The only thing stopping me from giving it a perfect 10 is unchanged gameplay, the same enemies, and difficulty. But all this is nothing compared to the rest of what the game gives me, an excellent story, rich and heavy characters, an impeccable soundtrack, beauty, terror and forgiveness. This and many other things are the reason why I give this game a 95. It is a success that shows once again that video games are more than video games.

    Un montaña rusa de sentimientos con una narrativa tan bien lograda que te hara imposible cerrar el juego hasta que lo termines y descubras el por que de los sentimientos de los protagonistas al final

    Misleading marketing, lots of plot holes and "convinient" situations which follows along 2013 gameplay that accompany good graphics and animations. Pretty mediocre and bad marketing practices overall.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, I just beat "The Last of Us Part II..." Where should I start? I feel like, in parts where the game was good, it was excellent! But in parts where the game was bad... It was down right horrible.
    The gameplay was fun, I liked a lot of the new mechanics they added, like being able to go prone and the fact that you can be "stealth" in tall grass added a lot more options and the dodge button was a nice touch. I liked... MOST of the new enemies: Shamblers were gross as **** and really fun to fight, Stalkers offered a fresh new type of challenge and they actually jump- scared me once or twice. They did a good job at making the Scars function exactly like the creepy cult that they are: Their whistling gave me shivers every time I heard it. The skill trees were cool and gave a lot of fun options to improve your character. One thing I DID NOT like, was the addition of dogs... They make it VERY hard to avoid the dogs and I did NOT enjoy killing any of the cute doggo's in this game. Over all, gameplay wise, "The Last of Us II" was very satisfying.

    And now... The story...... Good LORD, what a mess! The story of "The Last of Us Part II" is full of plot holes, contrivances and conveniences and does not feel like a continuation of the events of the first game. Rather, it teeters on the threshold of being some “edgy” kids DeviantArt fan-fiction. I would say the biggest issues with the story are it's beginning and it's end. The beginning of the game has Joel, acting completely out of character and is way too trusting of these random strangers he JUST met, which ends up getting him killed (in a **** way). I hear a lot of people saying that the reason Joel is so trusting is because he has been living comfortably in Jackson for 5 years... I don't buy this: Living comfortably for 5 years doesn't make you stupid, the story just needed Joel to die (in a **** way) to get the horrible revenge story going.

    The middle of the game’s story is kind of all over the place: You play as Ellie for a bit, then the game forces you to play as Abby, Joel’s killer, in an attempt to make her seem likeable, which doesn’t work, at least, it didn’t work with me. I found Abby to be very unlikable. In fact, a lot of the new characters in this game feel unlikable which made their deaths hollow. When Jesse died, all I could think was “Oh no, not… Whats-His-Face.”

    And the ending is just… Baffling to me. Ellie and Abby have a brutal fight which during the middle of, Abby bites 2 of Ellies fingers off. Ellie’s goal of revenge against Abby is only a few seconds away……… And she just let’s Abby go. Mind you, a flashback of Joel playing the guitar (Which he was teaching Ellie to play and can no longer do because he is dead and she just lost fingers) is what makes her decide to let Abby go. This woman first took your father figure away from you, she then took friends away from you and finally she took 2 of your fingers away from you. Ellie… Girl…… Having a flashback of your father figure playing a guitar after the person you’re trying to kill bites off your fingers should have thrown you into a fit of rage! But no, she’s all like: “Just go.” And that’s it. All this does, is give Abby another opportunity to come back for you. I can’t sugarcoat it, this game fails from a story perspective, which is a shame, considering the fact that it’s a narrative driven game.

    I would give the game a 5: "The Last of Us Part II" is fun to play, but the overall narrative pulls the game way down. My fear is that, if they add a DLC chapter like they did in the first game, it’s going to be about Abby killing Tommy or something. I think the only way they can fix the story from here, is for Ellie to wake up from all of this being a bad dream…

    Poor writing and politics shoulnt be in a Videogame. No emotional connection to Side characters like im the first Game with Bill and Henry or Sam. Just a Non sense Story with a bunch of Politics

    I give it 1 star only because of the hard work that is put in the visuals. Being a fan of the first game, this game is a really good example of why politics dont belong in video games. Absolute disgrace. I cant believe how they ruined this masterpiece. Get woke, go broke.

    The only things that change from the first game are the graphics, and the story.

    The graphics are incredible, the only reason why this game doesn't get a 0/10 is because of how good the graphics are. However, the story is awful. Absolutely awful, it **** on the original in so many ways, it's absurd. Abby is so unlikable, so when you have to play 10 hours of her, you just become

    This game will be remembered, and not in a good way.

    Trash, just straight up trash. I’m sure you’ve all seen the spoilers. This game just didn’t have any respect for the original story wise. The gameplay is fine, nothing bad about it i have to say in particular, but i played this game for the story. The continuation of the first one. And this? It’s... it’s just not it chief.

    The game is great, technologically. Same gameplay as the first, that was already great, great art, graphics and sound design, very good world building.

    The story: horrible. Tragically bad writing, lots of plot holes, characters out of character, the story throws tons of guilt for the player to carry, and there is a suffocating feeling of futility by the end of the game. I really don't

I really don't understand why did ther ruin the game, and no, it wasn´t their SJW agenda (that exists, it is all over the place), that ruined the game for me. What killed the game for me was their most profound disrespect for the characters of the first game. Naughty Dog: please do not insult us by trying to spin the "review bombing" narrative. You destroyed this game with horrible writing, not just bad. Accept that and carry on...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was supposed to be one of the most anticipated games ever. I'm sorry naughty dog but you've lost me and my wife as fans of yours. You may not care now but previous fans will think twice next time you create a game. The biggest problem I have is, besides Joel being killed almost immediately a long with just about everyone else, and fighting Ellie or playing most of the game as Abby, is the political environment you created. Why is a video game getting political?? Bad move. Most gamers are not interested in being force fed "gender equality" or being forced to watch two females have a relationship in a game. I'm guessing you received funding from some company that wanted that agenda pushed. Really bad move. I play games for the story and entertainment, not politics. I get enough of that from the awful media. What an amazing first game you created but this one has ruined the whole story, and I know you say you expected this and are ok with this, but are you really? Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU 2- An Exaggerated Simulacrum.
    TLOU 2 serves as one of the biggest failures in the history of gaming. Sony and Naughty Dog crafted a disappointing story with outdated gameplay. In all honesty, the leaks, which happened months before the game was even released, ignited the downfall of one of gamings most beloved characters. From the abusive DMCA's affecting anyone barely discussing the leaks to the realization of false advertizing, where in early trailers of the game, Joel was shown to be a crucial character in the story's development. Only to be brutally, and very disrespectfully disposed of in the the first section of the game showed to us, gamers, what Naughty Dog set out do. Edit: At the moment of writing this edit, Metacritic has disabled negative reviews for this game. They are trying to silence all the disappointmented fans expressing their frustration with this pile of dog ****
    TLOU was a game distinguished among the others based on its entertaining, and sweet storytelling. However, Part 2 sets out to destroy everything the first game made. Joel is killed and singled out as the villain by a new uninteresting character called Abby, the best Scar Killer, someone who sees nothing more than violence and revenge after the impactful choice Joel makes at the end of Part 1. The game is a beautiful deatil work of art, crafted by over worked and underpay employees. The semi open world are a breath of fesh air from the linear nature of its predecessor, unfortunately that's all you are paying for here.
    Gameplay is outdated. A hard copy pasted effort to seemingly forget the mistakes of the last installment. Stealth is summarize as "Walk behing enemies and stab them with your knife, over its devastating long game. The shooting is as the original. Clunky, nonresponsive, hard to aim, and inaccurate. A headshot is affected by chance and the lucky moments when your reticle and the mary go round shaky hands of your character meet in perfect symphony. Jump, useless and prone, is used as a poor excuse to expand game time and hide the loading screens.
    The game is a constant duality. Uniting gameplay and storytelling. But when the most important part of your game is full of inconsistent behavior in part of your characters, Joel, Tommy, and Elli. The game opts to introduce us to a new set of avenger type mass murderers as the solution. We know Joel isn't a saint. But the attempt to destroy him as much as this game is trying to is laughable. The writing is geared to push Elli to her limits, and we see her slowly falling to the pit, but her counterpart, Abby somehow gets the sweet tratment and is in a journey of self reflection and change. But guess what, It doesn't work because this game is based on perfectly, and improbable acts of pure coincidence. Its just a Simulacrum, in which every possible circumstance that could lead to this story happens and its materialize in the fly and from thin air. The game makes you feel terrible, because its in fact terrible. Gore, gore and more gore is what makes part two trully obnoxious and honestly adept to psychiatric counseling. Quick time events are a combination of thumb and square smashing action. Sometimes I could hear my controller begging me to stop. These moment are quite well done, bit too many too much. Aside from set pieces encountering this acts might lead you to your death by a clicker. Since reaction time in a 30 FPS game like this, where turning aroung gets you dizzy is a hassle.
    This game is built on coincidence and poor storytelling, your favorite characters are turned into fools seeking a Fool's endeavour, such as the cycle of revenge, ND so proudly think they mastered, where there are clear winners and losers. Spoiler Alert Abby the piece of **** Wins.
    My honest Review is a 4 out of10.
    The poor artists carry this game like Jesus carried his croos. And just like him they carried it straight to the grave.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok so.... i kinda had this game spoiled for me like a lot of other people, and went into it not knowing what my reaction would be until it happened!!! Then that moment came and I felt so many emotions i may have even had tears in my eyes?! How did it make me feel.... I didn’t review bomb the game.
    I didn’t cut my discs in half and post it online.
    I didn’t throw my toys out the pram and tell everyone else not to play.

    I acted like an adult and carried on charged up on all sorts of emotions hell bent on revenge wanting to blast through anyone and anything to avenge Joel...

    This game truly is a masterpiece... of storytelling of design and you can see the love and care that has been poured into every heart breaking attention to detail.

    That Birthday trip to the Museum was amazing the love between those two characters is so perfectly clear to see.

    Play the game and be ready to feel your opinions and feelings be blown all over the place.

    The Last of Us part 2 stands shoulder to shoulder with its predecessor as the greatest games of all time In my opinion of course

    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]
