    I do enjoy my time with those friends who are LGBTs, they are really important part of my life. So I will score 0 to this game just because of unreasonable story rather than you so called " prejudice and discrimination to LGBT" blah blah blah.

    New dog doesnt show any respect to those truly faithful fans of The Last of Us, farewell Noob director

Juego muy muy muy esperado quizás eso a veces juega en contra y se tienen espectativas más allá de las que uno puede obtener en el producto final , en el ámbito gráfico y jugable es de 10 nada que reclamar unos pequeños fallos que no afectan la jugabilidad, lo jugué en difícil para aprovechar mejor la inteligencia artificial del juego lo que me pareció bastante bien los enemigos eran más fuertes y aprovechaban más el entorno para franquearnos, lamentablemente el punto más bajo es la historia , está mal construida nos obligan a jugar con Abby justo cuando ya teníamos el desenlace de la historia pudieron haber hecho capitulo intermedio entre ellie y Abby y quedaba mejor , nos hacían empatizar con Abby y entender la motivación que tenía por matar a Joel pero no , nos hacen jugar con ella como si fuese un juego nuevo eso no me gustó y lo peor es el final uno quiere hacer "justicia" de cierta forma ya que uno siempre es héroe o víctima en su propia historia y se nos prohíbe esa sed de venganza o de querer hacer justicia por algo que se nos arrebato de manera tan abrupta es el único pero ya que en los otros ámbitos es excelente muy entretenido… Expand

    Jogo muito bom apesar de ser um pouco difícil se adaptar com a perda e o fato de ter de jogar com a assassina do Joel. Confesso que tenho alguns contra, pensamentos de que certos pontos da história deveria ser diferente, mas no geral não decepiciona e é bastante imersivo e emocionante

    why it has to be forced? why? in left behind it was justified but here; you are in the end of the world for god sake and that's more important? in what world is this mature? yelling to the olders is mature? insulting is mature? why? the premise was amazing even for abby, but why ellie didn't progress or if this is progress why in this way? why you force to this is something mature?

    Although it's easy to feel disappointed by some early developments, the differing ways in which this new story progresses shows the irrelevance of the concept of good and evil in this world, in a way that can only be seen in works like American History X, leading to a an emotionally rich (although exhausting) experience that pays off overwhelming compared to those first moments.

    Firstly, I'm a huge fan of the last of us and I truly think that rating it zero just for the story misses the point of reviewing a game. Imagine if this game was released as a text-based game but it had the story that everyone wanted... would everyone be slamming that 10/10 rating? Probably not.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I finished Last of Us Part 2 and I can't sleep. Like so many others I have too many thoughts and emotions in my head swirling right now and I think I understand the outrage and need to get my thoughts down. This is going to be long but I will avoid spoilers. To summarize: play this game at your own risk after playing the first one which can be traumatizing in its own right.

    So lets start by setting aside the bigoted alt right movement who are attacking this game for similar reasons as Captain Marvel (yes LGBTQ characters make out and have sex in the game get over it).

    Next point is that the original Last of Us came at a time when multi-player games and apocalyptic stories flooded the market. It changed how stories can be told in not just video games but movies. One could argue that several beloved movies such as Logan, Quiet Place, John Wick, Bird Box and many others wouldn't exist without it's inspiration. Same could be said for critically acclaimed story games like the new God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Uncharted 4, and even Spiderman PS4.

    So obviously this franchise resonates with people and while people are criticizing the story for not having a point they are also criticizing it for having a political agenda. Neither are true. The directors and creators of this game said four years ago that making people uncomfortable was going to be the point of this game. They knew what they were doing. They knew people would be triggered. I think a lot of people are mad that they are feeling all these mixed emotions but they don't understand the deep psychological reasons why or dont have the self awareness to process these emotions due to the avoidance tendency modern society has created due to political, religious, and mental health issues as it makes them uncomfortable. On top of that the timing of this game is impeccable. Right during a pandemic where humanity and society is splitting itself apart.

    This game is not positive vibes. This game is not the same type of fun like Naughty Dogs other franchise Uncharted. There is no winning in this game. One could argue it is not a game because of these traits. I'd agree. It's an experience. This game made me have a panic attack. It caused me extreme anxiety. Great, both me and the character have PTSD. This game was visually the most beautiful game I've ever played but also the most horrifc game I've ever seen. No it's not fun to have to shove a knife through a dogs throat because its about to tear your throat open and hear it whimper as it bleeds out. How the hell did I kill 10 people with 2 bullets and a empty beer bottle? Ah **** that guys name was Jimmy? Sorry I guess. I cant hear a clicking sound or a whistle right now without having my heart skip a beat. I am numb. I am hurt.
    Traveling through Wyoming, Seattle, Santa Barbra, and more is breathtaking. What would I sacrifice for love? What would you sacrifice to survive? God I love dinosaurs. Can I play Hotel California on the guitar? Holy **** I can.

    Right and wrong is all about perspective. Think for yourself. There is no such thing as good and evil. Humanity is horrible. This game may not be a 10/10 like the original. But I'd still give it an 9/10. Sometimes there is no meaning in death, sometimes it is unavoidable. Yes this game is painful.

    Yes this game can be traumatizing but it's also beautiful. The longer time goes on I think the more people will appreciate this game. It is unforgettable. Things don't always go the way you want. Sometimes being a better person is not in your own self interest. At some point enough pain will break you. Sometimes the person you love is in the wrong and the person you hate is just reminding you of the person in the mirror.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Who wrote this? The characters are not themselves at all.

    1) Tommy and Joel would NOT try so hard to save a perfect stranger wandering so close to their compound

    2) Tommy would NOT invite a group of strangers to their settlement without vetting them thoroughly

    3) Tommy and Joel would NOT just give out their names so easily

    4) People who killed Joel would NOT leave behind 2 important witnesses so that they can come back and bite them in the ass.

    These plot holes were never debated at Naughty Dog? I don't believe it.
    Just so that they can make up a story of Ellie going on a quest for revenge.
    The writing is just ridiculous...

    So sad. I had SO much respect for Naughty Dog before.

    Waited patiently for a release of the sequel. And this?!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This “heartwarming” story of forgiveness is ruined by the fact that Joel made the right decision when he saved Ellie from the Fireflies. The cure never would’ve worked because A. It’s a fungal infection and no one IRL has developed a vaccine for a fungal infection (watch Game Theory’s video) B. Ellie was one of a good few immune people who the Fireflies previously failed to extract a vaccine from and C. Once a vaccine is made, then how do they apply it to save the world? They can’t vaccinate everyone and a vaccine doesn’t cure someone who is already infected. Not to mention the other factions of people who may try to steal the vaccine for themselves and ruin it all. There’s too many possibilities that would make Ellie’s death be for nothing so Joel made the right choice in saving her. So how in any way did he deserve to be killed by Abby?

    Abby, even by the end of the story, never became redeemable or in other words someone who deserved to be spared and forgiven. Let’s not forget that Abby was the only one who got her revenge and she ENJOYED it, continuing to be a cruel, evil person. When Abby is told Dina is pregnant, she says “good” and almost slits her throat. Compare that to Ellie, who after killing Mel (another pregnant woman) has a huge meltdown of guilt that causes her to be willing to go home until Abby shows up again and kills Jesse. Joel SAVED ABBYS LIFE in an act of trust and compassion and he gets punished by being brutally tortured and killed. Ellie ends up alone with no one left, and loses two fingers so she can’t play guitar anymore, which was a personal connection to Joel.


    So, what’s the message of this story? Abby gets the best ending out of all the characters. Abby, the one who got her revenge. So is revenge good? That’s a horrible message and I don’t see why anyone praises this game for having a compelling, thought-provoking message. The only message I got was that revenge and cruelty is good because you get on top of everyone else.

    The Last Of Us 1 is my favorite story of all time. I based a lot of my childhood off of it. I used to play WoW, and TLOU influenced me so much I became a survival hunter in order to be like Joel. So it’s really insulting to me when some person tells me that I “just don’t understand the deep message”. TLOU’s world may be one of only a few stories that I have a truly deep connection with, and TLOU 2 does not match up to it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am giving this game a 0 because of the lies told by Naughty Dog. This company manipulated their fan base and lied in order to sell copies of their game. They altered trailers to trick us into thinking we we’re going to be playing alongside Joel throughout the game, making him look younger. I understand that companies sometimes have trailers that are misleading but not outright lie to their fan base about you playing a character that actually dies in the first three hours of the game. Neil Druckmann also lied to us saying that Ellie will be the only playable character when in fact 50% of the game you are playing Abby. We don’t care that you kill off a beloved character, we care HOW you do it. Unfortunately, Neil got too into his head thinking he could do no wrong that he drove his beautiful story into the ground.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pero la mayoría de las quejas se centren en la muerte que le dieron a Joel, por una razón básica: el juego no es solo una situación, es una acumulación de momentos, sensaciones y acciones que dan un todo. Y que nadie sea capaz de ver más allá me asombra en cuanto a la poca crítica objetiva que hay al respecto (sobran los que se quejan de la muerte de Joel pero sobran aún más los que se quejan de la sexualidad de las personajes)

    Abby es una mujer que quería vengar no solo la muerte de su papá sino también reventar al tipo que dejó sin cura a la humanidad. No podés empatizar con ella? Perfecto, a mí es un personaje que no me gustó, no me identifiqué en ningún momento con ella, pero la clave no es amarla sino entenderla: qué haría uno en su lugar? Acaban de matar a tu papá cometiendo uno de los peores crímenes para la humanidad de paso, QUÉ HARÍAS? Yo te puedo asegurar que siendo Abby lo que le haría a Joel sería peor que lo que le hizo.

    Todos amamos a Joel, y a mí me quebró su muerte. Fue muy fuerte, pero ahí es donde empieza el verdadero argumento del juego: la venganza de uno se convierte en la venganza del otro, y así se crea un ciclo de violencia y muerte que no tiene fin. "Ojo por ojo quedaremos todos ciegos" dice un refrán, y acá quedó más que claro cuando al final Ellie queda completamente sola, Tommy está quebrado y completamente solo.

    No olvidemos que no es "The Last Of Us 2", sino que es "Parte 2". Qué significa eso? Que no es una secuela para ver cómo puede llegar a seguir la historia, sino que es la parte de una historia global que nos faltaba aprender, nos faltaba ver las consecuencias de lo que pasó y entender a su vez que lo que estamos haciendo ahora también tendrá consecuencias que en el caso de Ellie serán brutales, nada favorables.

    En fin: ojalá la crítica pudiera ser más global y reflexionar sobre los errores que cometió el juego.    … Expand

It has plenty of options to tune to your exact setup and sounds brilliant under any of them (assuming you're using the right settings). As does the difficulty settings. Players will be able to choose their exact preferred play through to suit their style. Now let's get onto what's not so great. I will also be ignoring all the "SJW" stuff people are choosing to complain about as I've finished the game and that is frankly not what I find wrong about this game in any sense.

    The game starts out, with a really strange vibe to it. It takes a bit of time to settle into itself, but before it can ND thrusts you into a scene which majorly increases the plot pacing. Now, dialogue between characters after this still feels off. The characters aren't giving off any vibes to justify the actions they take against their own word in the slightest, and previous writing of these characters goes out the window a little. After a few hours in the game starts getting interesting as you play as Ellie moving through the world. The refined crafting is nice and the addition of prone is welcome, With the better graphics and animations and how dense ND has packed these environments you can easily get lost exploring when given the opportunity. The engagements have more options than the first one, feel wider and still makes the player think. However. ND clearly goes out of their way to write things in a pace that puts the characters at odds in terms of how interesting their content is. Ellie on one hand, never learns from any of her encounters and the same twists begin to occur. The writers consistently put her and the player in situations that are out of their hands and just forces the player to watch pretty horrible events that would have, in my opinion. Gone down different if Ellie was a similar person she was made out to be in the first game. Her enviroments also change less, during her 2 segments, Ellie is either in one, or the other kind of environment. Where as Abby gets to see more diverse scenery. Then on the other hand, they try their hardest to put Abby in situations that are all nice and loving, and making her look like a good person. However, their reactions to events tell completely different stories. The game seems to punish the player for actions it takes out of their hands and takes away emotional moments from the player at other key times, which further disconnects them from the story. The timing of the story is very off, with constant flashbacks at weird moments or flashbacks that don't entirely add much to the story. From playing 2 perspectives over 3 days and then skipping forward again to play 2 perspectives from a different time in the not so far future.

    The game attempts to do a lot that, it frankly doesn't deserve because it hasn't earned that with the player. A lot of these moments where they attempt to pull on the strings of the player seemingly is washed away in comparison to the scene at the start of the game and the player is often left with what is obviously a different than intended reaction. Characters are entirely not likeable, or only slightly likeable. And most likely will be killed off before you even start warming to them or properly getting to understand the relationships that have been built in between the time we've been gone. The game does very little to actually unravel those connections between people to the player. I found moments in the game where I kind of forgot I was playing a Last of Us game and, that to me was not a good thing, I was starting to detach completely and the story wasn't doing much of anything to win me back. Towards the end of the game, I was seriously struggling to force myself to finish it. When I finally did. It felt empty. That ultimately i learned nothing, experienced nothing new and it seemed like how it would feel if your friend tried to do a skid while he was drunk and crashed his car. Does it look spectacular? Of course. Worth anything? Not at all.

    The AI is barely a step up if at all however, here and there we see marked improvements but that's probably mostly coming from the couple of new mechanics, including prone and jump for the access to extra verticality where available. The game is an impressive technical feat when it comes to graphics, sound, animation and environmental work. However, the environments are not "big" by todays standards. That's okay, because they're well crafted, thought out and they look gorgeous. But, ultimately. A game comes down to a lot more than how it looks. If nothing but the graphics and audio has improved. And with the story attached to this game, and writing that feels even barely attached to the game. I can only mark it a 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I knew Joel was going to die months before the official announcement. but TWO HOURS!? in the game and in such a kick in the face way of the part 1 Fans? So the Game is around 25 Hours game play give or take for the Normal difficulty. Now I will say the graphics are absolutely beautiful the combat is very similar to part 1 ( which is fine ) but a little clunky its nothing much upgraded as they said.

    So the first half of the game is playing as Ellie with Dina for most of it out on a mission for JUSTICE for the brutal torture and murder of Joel by Abby encountering much more of the WLF than infected, despite the hordes you see throughout.

    Ellie begins avenging Joel by taking out the people who where apart of Abby's group, now it is getting slightly fatiguing with all these new characters coming into the game. There was absolutely no connection with these new characters in part 2 in comparison to the connection with Joel and Ellie in the first game you genuinely felt the bond.

    So fast forward through the first half of the story as Ellie, you stay in a Theatre with Dina and then soon to be joined by Tommy and Jesse. Abby jumps Tommy, ellie and jesse run out, Jesse instantly killed with a bullet to the head then a tense stand off between Abby and Ellie cutting to black with abby aiming her gun at ellie.

    2nd half of the Story you play as Abby, which is drawn out WAY TOO LONG, i was hoping it would be a compressed part like left behind in part 1, but no you play about 13-15 hours as Abby? you get some insight and backstory about her which i did not sympathise with her at all. It was really draining me playing as abby rushing through combat areas just to finish this day 1-3 as her ASAP. finally seeing it through hoping there would be some relief back at the Theatre. Tommy distracting abby for Ellie to make an escape but Tommy seemingly killed and I say out loud "of course you kill Tommy too" but to my disgust you CONTINUE PLAYING AS ABBY and HUNT DOWN ELLIE BEATING HER MULTIPLE TIMES.

    Ranting on way too long here but dina and ellie dont day die to Lev questioning Abby, fast forward Lev and Abby are searching for fire-flies that have reformed SO YOU PLAY MORE AS ABBY SIGH. they get captured by a faction called The Rattlers. swaps back to Ellie and Dina on a Farm which is drawn out a bit too long and fatiguing which i initially thought this would be the end game of them just at the farm with Jesses baby. Nope Ellie must end this. Ellie tracks down The Rattler base finds Abby they fight on the beach Abby biting ellies hand off and Abby is on deaths door then a flash back of joel playing guitar makes Ellie spare her all for nothing,

    Joels death all in vain. Ellie returns to an empty farm as dina left, she attempts to play guitar but cannot without her missing fingers and it finishes ellie leaving the farm. This game is a complete blow to the Original fans and disrespect to the original characters. I wont play this again its left such a bad taste and I went into this game with very low expectations still I am disgusted as to how this Story and game turned out, i Regret buying the $300 edition. Game was uninstalled the next day from my ps4, i have put away my ellie statue and anything part 2 related because i do not wish to see the reminder of such disrespect and how out of character the original characters where. Naughty Dog are not one of my favourite Game Devs any longer. It should have ended of Part 1 and part 1 ONLY. ( not to mention the scars, wouldnt they way they communicate draw in infected?)

    ( The ones truly outraged are the real Last of us Fans, not just these people who call it all out as hate and are just blindly praising regardless of how potentially terrible and disappointing it can be )

    Graphics 9/10
    Story 3/10
    Combat 6/10

    Overall: 4/10

I enjoyed TLOU2 though, even though I was upset with Joel dying so fast. He's still in the game for more time than I expected and I loved those moments. Playing as Abby is actually enjoyable no matter how much I though I'd hate her, aside from "The Fight with Ellie". Really the only 2 things I feel could have made this game better is 1. if there was a factions mode released with the game because I love how satisfying the kills are and 2. If they would have given Abby a better character model, she could have been prettier and a little less manly and this would without a doubt be a 10/10 i wont knock a point off for Abby being so ugly lol But because it doesnt have a MP mode ill dock a point since it released with the first game. The game is actually fun to play, visually stunning. Gameplay and sound are forsure better then the first, the story has its ups and downs just like life itself does. Theyre truly alot of beautiful moments in the game and alot where youre like damn what the hell just happen, it has forsure made me never want to put the controller down though. I dont understand what all the hate is about man, its kind of sad honestly because its easily one of the best games I've ever played TLOU1 is still the GOAT but this one improves on Part 1 in a lot of ways.… Expand

    No, there is NOTHING wrong with the main character being a lesbian nor there being strong women. The problem is the way the story is told, the amazingly contradictory decisions the characters make, and how they make you feel rage and disgust for every character (and then make you play 10 hours with them)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game feels like ND were done telling the story of Joel and Ellie, but realised they needed to put them in the game to actually sell it. Ellie's story feels like they wrote Abby's story first and then copied it to Ellie. There are so many similarities, up to a love triangle involving a pregnant woman. I imagine ND were intending for Ellie and Abby to mirror each other, but in the end it feels too contrived to work.
    At the same time, the game fails to make Abby or her crew even remotely as compelling as Joel, Ellie, Tess and Bill were in the first game. Hell even the returning characters barely feel like themselves, except for a few scenes. The only new character who feels like a real person is Lev, and he shows up so late in the game, there's barely enough time left to spend with him.
    The game also has a huge problem with putting the dramatic payoff of storylines before the setup of those payoffs. If it's been 4 hours since I killed a named character so generic I've forgotten their name, I am not going to be moved by knowing they visited a seal with Abby at some point. Same with Joel's death. Everyone and their mother predicted he would die, but the way they did it just looks like shock value writing for the sake of saying it was 'unexpected.'
    There are plenty of stories where the main character dies and people still love the story, hell just recently we had RDR2 where the main character dies AND you play as another character for an extended period of time, but there wasn't a huge outcry of disappointment as there is now. Pretending people just didn't want Joel to die is absurd, they just thought it would be done better. (Maybe have him get bitten and have Ellie again be in a position where she has to watch someone she loves slowly lose their mind in front of her while she is left behind.)

    This game's story fails for me because TLOU is Joel and Ellie's story, this story could just as well have featured new characters in a new setting all together, nothing truly ties it to TLOU. And besides that, the story itself feels convoluted and bloated. Like I said, it feels like ND wanted to tell Abby's story, but realised that no one would buy it, so they forced Druckman to put Ellie and Joel in the story.

    The few redeeming areas of the game are aspects I'd always expect to be excellent when so much time and money is poured into a product: environments, music, acting. It's all wonderful, but I never played TLOU for just those things, and there are enough games where those elements are great as well as the story.
    The gameplay just has some improvements over the first game, but by the time you're crossing the bridge with Abby and Lev, you're so bored of doing the same stuff, it just doesn't even feel enjoyable anymore. Like the story, it repeats itself too often and kills any interest I had to begin with.

    And a final observation, even if I enjoyed the gameplay enough to slog through this again, why for the love of games would I want to watch Ellie be put through this bleak hell again? In the first game we probably all felt protective of her, and in this game it's nothing but horror after horror. She gets a few happy moments before it's all snatched away again and it ends with her being left alone - the thing she fears most. And for what? So ND can tell a generic 'revenge is bad, cycle of violence' story? It's a message we've seen a million times, done much better than this, and it just isn't worth sacrificing everything that made TLOU a beloved game.    … Expand

They could have talked about side stories which further explain the tlou world such as Ellie's mun's past, Joel's and Tommy's and the two females' (i.e., Firefly's) past. But they decided to make a cliche revenge story which is not related to the tolu world except the characters.

    They could have given Joel and Tommy common senses that they got from years of dangerous life. But they decided to take away their awareness to dangers. They could have given Joel or Tommy a meaningful death. But they decided to give Joel a pathetic death and make Tommy into a useless naggy middle-aged man. The could have kept the cliche story generic but functional. But they decided to give it deep meaning, meanwhile, failed in writing such a script.

    Muchos se quejan de la muerte de Joel, que esperaban? Una muerte lleva de gloria, elogios, un monumento a Joel? Me temo que no se dan cuenta de lo falso que son ese tipo de muertes, ¿que Joel no fue precavido y se confío?, No se si entendieron la historia pero bien claro se dice que en Jackson siempre se aceptaba gente nueva, Joel obviamente ya no era el mismo desconfiado de antes, ahora se tuvo que adaptar a su nuevo hogar

    Ahora el final, un final muy agridulce, ya qué Ellie termina sola y dejando atrás a Joel (dejando su guitarra y tocandola por última vez) está claro que Ellie se dio cuenta que su venganza solo la destruyo, no le causó nada más que perdidas, dolor y sufrimiento. El por qué dejo viva a abby fue su acto de compasión al ver y pensar en Joel otra vez, ya que ella antes de que muriera Joel le dice que quiere perdonarlo por lo que hizo, lo cual nos lleva a abby, Ellie como no pudo llegar a perdonar a Joel lo refleja con abby perdonandole la vida

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay: They have greatly refined the mechanics in this game. Simple things like prone, having enemy groups attack each other (also in Left Behind DLC), new gadgets have been added that gives the player more control. In TLOU I found myself sneaking around on survivor/grounded but in this game the AI is so much more difficult. They'll change their patrols if they spot you, they're more aware of each other, dogs have been added, the infected are tougher to get past. There were many times where I'd find myself in a 5-15 minute stretch to sneaking, getting spotted, taking one out, running away, hiding from new patrol, catching a straggler and running back into the tall grass.

    Visuals: Nothing to say here, ND has once again outdone themselves. The small animations, the cut scenes, the acting are all top notch. Just play it to find out.

    Audio: The screams. The screams of leading a clicker group into your WLF/Scar group, running away and hearing them get torn into pieces linger in my mind. The audio cues of enemy combatants yelling out for their dead dog or friend all just adds to the immersion. That familiar acoustic twang resonates here and provides a great backdrop for the music. Plus, there are some fantastic song covers and musical experiences I'll leave you guys to discover.

    Story: This is where the divisiveness is. It was a tough story to swallow I'll admit, but I've learned to accept and love it.

    SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

    Unfortunately, many people are stuck on how Joel is presented in this game and what happens to him. Joel knew he had done enough atrocities and throughout TLOU 2 Ellie even comments on how she knew vaguely that Joel had done these things. Joel made a choice at the end of TLOU and he sticks with it. Whether or not we as the audience supported that choice meant nothing to the fact that Joel had to face the consequences. Despite that, his death led to Ellie and I's need for revenge.

    After seeing Joel die I wanted to kill every WLF until I could meet Abby and kill her too. I was done slinking around and being stealthy. I made sure every area was rid of the WLF thoroughly. When the switch happened I felt a gut punch and when I realized that I'd be playing with Abby for a while I didn't know how to feel. It felt like it dragged on, but somewhere along that journey I got to understand Abby and her life more. She had lost her dad, her group and in some ways meaning for life. She had a close friend group and their interactions showed they weren't black and white. By the time it came to confront Abby I realized that my feelings as to who was good or bad was unclear.

    END SPOILER

    It seems some people wanted a superhero ending or black and white story and that's not what they got. The characters in this game are human and their decisions and personality developed overtime. People didn't die the "right way" and people didn't get punished the "right way." Perhaps this felt too real to people and it's easier to label this as a "plot hole" or "bad writing."

    The first game forced us into an uneasy feeling at the end. Part II forced us through an entire game of uneasiness and for some that was too much to handle. For me it captured just how bleak and brutal the game's world is. It reinforced and portrayed the themes of love, forgiveness and revenge beautifully. Fun is subjective along with good and bad, but I can thoroughly say that I found this fun and memorable and hope others do too.    … Expand

    沒有。

    這遊戲有精妙的關卡設計，讓玩家透過各種資源(技能)搭配，高自由度通關嗎？
    (對比對象BOTW/Hitman)
    沒有。

    你說一個角色扮演遊戲，沒有探索深度、沒有選擇深度、沒有關卡深度，神作？
    當然，有的人會說：「你都拿其他遊戲的強項來比，那當然沒得比」
    奇怪了，
    護航的不是說劇情不看也是神作嗎？
    各路評論不是說因為劇情不能評，光評其他部份給10/10嗎？

    本來，要是TLOU2劇情不出問題的話，以上都不是問題，
    就像我開頭說的，這類遊戲，遊戲性本來就不是重點，為劇情服務而已。
    但今天不看劇情，除了以上大項外，另外再看收集要素、競技對抗、玩家合作、經營規劃、設計建造 我就問最後生還者2有哪些特點，哪些「遊戲性」搆得著「神作」的邊的？ 遊戲上有任何獨特性、開創性，或是集現有設計為大成的地方嗎？ 並不是說這是款「很差」的遊戲，還算是款流水線生產出來的3A佳作吧，不過相比「神作」名號，配不上    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There’s cool aspects that really did make me feel something. Like I actually felt relieved that Ellie had that moment of realization and let Abby go. They both sought mindless revenge, they both had a chance to kill each other, and they both decided not to. In that sense, the symmetry of them both learning to let go and move on, is actually a really cool story dynamic and I enjoyed it. I even felt emotional seeing the Joel cutscenes during those parts where she remembers how she forgave him and now she’s learning to forgive someone who did something even worse. Great. Good. But it’s the execution that fails horribly. There are so many other ways to get that message across. Watching Pewdiepie play and hearing his reactions alongside my own, seeing the reactions in the comments, no one cares about these new characters either. No matter how much you try to make us like them, we’re not going to. At least not enough to make us enjoy beating the crap out of Ellie in a boss fight. Abby’s parts just dragged on and on with no end in sight. The brief moments of excitement only came when Tommy came and started killing her people off like he was John Wick. I never rooted for Abby ever.

    And what’s worse, I never wanted to root for Ellie either. They twisted her character into being a vengeful crazy person, who kills pregnant women out of spite. That’s not how me or any of the fanbase wants to view Ellie. But they make her do that crap so that you like Abby more, but it doesn’t work. Now you just hate them both, despite wanting to still like Ellie.

    And the end. OH BOY THE END. Ellie literally has NOTHING. Nobody. She is on her own. Why would any fans of the first game want to see her end up there? Naughty Dog, who was this game made for? Was it made for the fans or was it made for you to flaunt you high-minded 200 IQ lesson on morality and revenge? All fans wanted was another fun adventure with their favorite characters: Joel and Ellie. But instead, Joel goes golfing right at the beginning, and we see Ellie devolve into a vengeful psychopath only to be left alone by everyone she cares about, including Dina (who had no character development herself). And when she goes to play guitar (which usually triggers flashbacks and memories), she has no fingers left to play, forcing her to live only with this present reality, no way back to those memories. No new songs. In some ways, it’s more painful to watch than Joel. Why? Why would anyone think this was a good idea? Yeah it’s cool to see Ellie and Abby go through a similar arc and draw similar conclusions, but it’s not like Abby lost everything. She still at least has Lev and group of 200 fireflies waiting for her to arrive. Ellie gets left with squat. Zip. Nada. So why does the character everyone hates (but is forced to love) ger hope for the future while Ellie and Joel get handed straight poop?

    I appreciate the creativity and risk taking. I appreciate the gameplay and action. I even appreciate the symmetrical nature of the story in some ways. But I don’t like watching torture porn of beloved characters and being told by elitist critics that I’m only mad bc homophobia. The positives don’t raise my review above a 1 because while the gameplay and all that is great, the usual incentive for overcoming those levels is to advance the story. And if you’re bored with the story, then the levels and obstacles feel more like a chore than anything else. 1/10 from me.    … Expand

    Imagine being the biggest simp and soy boy ever, fire a competent person that wrote the best games of your company and underpay your staff. Well, that's Neil Druckmann ladies and gentlemen. This game deserves a 0. The story's goal is to force an agenda, not to tell a story, and by that it deserves little to no recognition.

Lo mejor en gráficos de ps4, una jugabilidad increíble, una historia dura, cruel, triste, pero buenísima, en lo único que puedo criticar del juego es que este nos obligaba a golpear con abby a ellie y pues eso dolía porque ellie es nuestro personaje principal y al que queremos, dolía cada golpe que le dábamos con abby ya que esta casi la mata . Y en cuanto al final, lo encontré muy bueno pero no me lo esperaba, aprendimos una lección importante gracias a joel aprendimos que no hay que hacer que la venganza nos consuma, si es verdad matamos a todos los amigos de abby pero nos arrepentimos, y así finamente ellie encuentra a la paz que necesitaba. La escena final me dejó con mucha intriga, fue muy duro, revelador, triste, pero me da mas ganas para jugar una próxima entrega. 100% recomendado de jugar… Expand

    Excellent - there's a lot to take in after playing through the whole experience.

    Yes, it's understandably divisive in terms of what the story takes you through. Many feel uncomfortable with the game's direction, including myself halfway through for a period of time, but that's what makes Last of Us games stand out from others on the market. I believe it will only age well. Like the Game    Excellent - there's a lot to take in after playing through the whole experience.

I believe it will only age well. Like the Game of Thrones universe, the world is muddied with shades of gray moralities among the characters - many of which aren't likable or understandable at first impressions. That sometimes changes over time and sometimes not at all. The game-play, combat, graphics, and scope have improved greatly. AI is not the smartest, however.

    I hope some of the gaps in the game's timeline can be played in a future title - there's still a lot of untouched potential based on the can that was opened up with this story. Don't miss this game; but also if you give it a go, try and play through to the ending. The gaming world needs more games of this caliber of immersion & story-telling.    … Expand

It has to work out. How wrong I was. I'd like to start this by saying that in no way is any of my anger or disappointment at the game due to the LGBTQ themes, of course it isn't and its harmful that these days people can't criticize a game that touches on these issues without being labelled a homophobe, sexist, or transphobe.

    This game is straight up below average. To begin with, the product doesn't even function as it should, I experienced two hard crashes and a game breaking bug that forced me to replay 3 hours of progress, as well as an unbelievable amount of graphical errors that forced a reload to checkpoint. That being said, at times this game is an absolute graphical powerhouse, certain locations are absolutely gorgeous and many cutscenes look absolutely top class in terms of direction and animation, though this is not always the case - some facial animations are absolute nightmare fuel and certain areas look straight up worse than the majority of locations in the original, I don't know how this is possible, when the PS4 is capable of presenting consistent visual masterpieces such as Death Stranding, and even Naughty Dog's own Uncharted 4 which looks far, far better than this game's washed out color palette and muddy, low res textures (the lighting is, however, stunning). The gameplay has barely evolved from the original, which already felt incredibly clunky all the way back in 2013. The quality of life improvements are welcome, but there's an unbelievable amount of missed opportunity when it comes to potential uses of the environment, a stealth system that could've been utilized so much better, and even the missed opportunity of multi-faction fights (infected and human enemies in the same area, while there were a few, they were much less impressive than those of the Left Behind DLC all those years ago).

    Sound design and soundtrack are however a huge high point, the sounds of each and every weapon feels fantastic, and really adds to the weighty, visceral combat, while the soundtrack once again retains the masterful subtlety of the original, if only it had a half decent story to compliment.

    Speaking of which, what in the everloving hell was the story? Generic revenge plot with minimal subtlety that utilizes pure shock value, dialogue that is reminiscent of a bad fan translation in the late 90s, and 0 character development throughout. Not to mention it utterly dashes any and all character development from the original. I for one, am not against the big decision made early on in the game (You know which one I'm talking about) if only it had been done well, and led to an interesting, compelling narrative. Hell, I'd even go as far as to say it was the correct decision and needed to happen. But everything that followed felt like a bad dream. Every single emotional moment ended up feeling like an absolute nothing. Endless plotholes and cheap play on emotions that makes utterly zero sense in the context of the world and events that have already happened. Each character death is almost laughable, half of the time I'd forget their names not moments after they're gone, sometimes while they're still alive right next to me (Which is a testament to how empty they feel). Take Tess, or Henry and Sam, or even Sarah from the first game for example. Not a whole lot of screentime whatsoever, yet their deaths meant something - their deaths brought tears to my eyes. In this one, every a main character who the game had tried to condition you to like through the tropiest of means mind you (They're nice to a dog, they're nice to kids - even though they advocate torture and are constantly committing war crimes, that kind of thing) Every time they would die, I could not care less and that really saddens me.

    i'm coming to the end of the character limit now and while I have so much more I want to say about this mess of a game, I'll leave it here. I desperately wanted this game to hit the heights it should've, but unfortunately I will now be scrubbing this one from my memory and starting a new playthrough of the original immediately.

    You're better than this Naughty Dog, also stop being such a pretentious brat on Twitter Neil Druckmann, its not a good look.

    4/10 - not a terrible game, but absolutely below average, I'd rather play mass effect andromeda again than ever replay this confused kick in the dick of a game    … Expand

    You just have to check the critics' score to realize that there's something rotten. The plot has tons of holes, the story was probably written by a 12 yo and let's not talk about the ending. I mean what were the Devs thinking. This game has Sarkeesian's scent all over it, I'm truly dissapointed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So after half a week of reflection and thought process from finishing this, what I would consider, a pretty dang good game. I do not like Part 2 more than Part 1, but to give this game the same/similar score to Ride to hell: Retribution, is just absolutely asinine. I found that at the start, the game is just way too easy. Even on Hard. After Seattle Day 1 as Ellie I discovered that I could create a custom difficulty, and once I cranked everything to Survivor, except keeping my allies at moderate, I had an absolute blast. Everything became much more intense, each encounter went from the same sneaky-sneak or blast my way through with ease, to being unique and different. The enemy became much more aware, items and ammo was much more stressful to find and use. It forced me to rely on all my resources and assets in creative and "on my toes" kind of ways/thinking. It made me feel like I was fighting for my life in a very realistic way. So I think it was meant to be played on Survivor. The combat and gameplay was never the highlight of the first game, so I didn't expect much in terms of improvement, and just the added fluidity and polish to it was more than enough for me. It's a Part 2, not a complete redesign.

    In terms of story, I feel it was pretty solid. Not as focused as the first game, but we weren't even supposed to get a second. It is not the most realistic thing to expect a follow up that wasn't supposed to exist to out do a story that was supposed to be a "one and done". So to come from a story about love, and change it to hate... I feel the story does just fine at making me feel that. People don't like that Part 2 doesn't make them feel good... it was never supposed to, and maybe then the post pandemic survivor games and stories aren't for you if you don't want to feel bad. In the world of TloU, there are not clear good and bad guys, only people desperate to survive another day. Joel was never a "good" person. He has done things to hurt innocent people, he was never a "hero". He doomed humanity for its chance of a total comeback for selfish reasons. And that's just it, the game is about the characters, not the player. A lot of people are mad at the wrong things. Most are mad that Joel dies. His death was unfair, but not because YOU the player like Joel, but because the world that Joel is a part of is unfair. People are mad because you don't kill Abby in the end, while I wish I got to cut her throat, the story is not about what I want. It is about Ellie. Her choices, and her consequences of those choices. And just like she decided to try and start forgiving Joel for taking away what should have been her choice to save the world, she in the last second sees that killing Abby is not who she is, and not who she wants to become. This entire journey takes a HUGE toll on her, and she loses everything because of it. Just because someone is a main character of a story does not mean they deserve a happy ending. Just because the player likes the character doe not mean killing or treating them unfairly is a bad thing. Given the context of this whole TloU Universe, it completely within reason that it ends the way it does. The world does not cater to anyone. Especially the world of TloU. A character named Jesse did not 'deserve" to get shot in the face, but he did. Because we are playing a game in a world that is unfair and all about surviving. In the end the game is not a story about revenge, it is a story about forgiveness. Both Abby and Ellie suffer so much from the choices they make. Abby kills Joel and all the people she cares about die. Ellie goes on a blind mission of revenge and loses everything, she's left with no one. she loses more than Abby because Abby gains something in her story, she gains possibly more than Joel ever did in the first game.

    My biggest issue with the story isn't because of anything that happened, to me it all makes sense. There are some "for shock value" moments that felt a bit too manufactured to get a rise out of the player/me. But the biggest problem I have is the way it's told. You play through 3 days in Seattle as Ellie, then you jump all the way back and play through those same 3 days as Abby and see her perspective. I feel the narrative would have been much more impactful if they ran parallel to each other. It would have made every death and every interaction more impactful. Seeing characters that Ellie kills hours after she kills them made me just not care enough about them to get invested in who they are, because I knew they would die.

    There may be some heavy handed things in this game, but it is not about us the players, it is about the characters. When Ellie gets attacked by a dog and almost dies, Ellie is going to kill the dog. You do not get to spare the dog because Ellie wouldn't spare the dog. All linear games force you to make the choices of the character you play as, why attack TloU Part 2 for not being and any different in that regard?    … Expand

    I’ve played the game through about two times now and I have found that the story is very fun at some parts but why I give it this score is because the story starts as a revenge tale but gets stale halfway through the game. And the ending makes the whole story and bloodshed pointless.

    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.
