    By no means can the media or high-score reviews plead for the innocence of Neil Duckman for his guilt in totally crashing down all the precious memory and love they built in the previous game. Love and desire are the healthy and happy driving force that keeps you going, hatred which is the theme of the part 2 is not something that educative, but something morbidly depressing and torturous.By no means can the media or high-score reviews plead for the innocence of Neil Duckman for his guilt in totally crashing down all the precious memory and love they built in the previous game. Love and desire are the healthy and happy driving force that keeps you going, hatred which is the theme of the part 2 is not something that educative, but something morbidly depressing and torturous. Feeling pain to treasure life isn't a method common to normal people, only the monks trying to get atonement by walking through difficult journeys. How much of us are tough enough to be like that? We are already living in a world full of pressure. It's a better way to wake our conscience with touching plot rather than forcing players to walk through fire and forget their pain, and even to beautify or praise pain, just for that you can be as numb as a sadistic killer when it gets too strong Expand

    I had the same view as most of the people on here, I loved the first game, my favorite game of all time, and this comes second place and I speak true from my heart, I wasn't even going to buy the game in the first place due to leaks, but my friend bought it and we shared it, and I loved it, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, and it's beautiful, dont jump into any conclusions, and get the game

    except the "jumping" stuff they're so proud about, the gameplay mechanics are beautiful.
    other than that, for being called a "masterpiece" of the decade, the story is **** **** and the ending doesn't even make sense.
    Absolute disgrace of a so called "masterpiece".

I preordered the collectors edition as soon as it was available and have been counting the days ever since. On Friday my collectors edition was just shipped but was not going to be here till the following week so being the guy that I am I bought the digital version. I downloaded it Friday night and after work on Saturday I started playing it, starting right off the bat there is a lot of emotion and I can understand why people don’t like what happens. I finished the game Late Sunday night, I didn’t take time to fully explore some of the areas because I was interested in where the story was going. I really loved the game, there was something’s I thought should have been different but with all games there are some things not everyone will like but all in all I feel this game is worthy of trying. I never seen the leaks before playing so I didn’t have it spoiled for me, the story is very dark and there is a lot of violence so I can understand some people will be turned away from that but the game is one of my favorites and I really enjoyed it. The story is very interesting and shows us some different perspectives that have a lot of emotion. Naughty dog did real well with this game in my opinion. Thank you. Expand

    Very far from being the game of the year ...

    Story:
    No spoilers. While the previous game has a lot of problems on logics with how biology should've worked, you could still argue that those were done for the need of plot for the overall storyline, no matter how poorly those plots were presented and how bad the logic could be, it was at least a good story that provides us to reflect ourselves. You cannot defend the story of this game like the previous one. There are simply way too many problems on how you lay out the story, the progress, and how it was told, and for a game that took 7 years to finish, at some point, someone in the whole dev team had to ask this question: is that really the way we want to tell the story? Does that really line up to the way we tell the story in our previous game? Apparently none of those questions was asked, else the story and human logic would've been more polished.

    Gameplay:
    Nothing new. Seriously, nothing new or outbreaking. Solid? yes. But nothing that really provided excitement. At least no bugs, right?

    Negative: the story, the new characters, the unsatisfying and stupid ending that devaluates everything you did in this game

    The fact that you are forced to play as A for 10-14 hours is insulting. I will NEVER preorder a naughty dog game again.

    A continuation of the story told my part 1, it goes beyond just telling a story and marries art, gameplay, music and cinematics to build a smoth, yet gruesome experience of loss, hate, vengeance and above all, consequences. TLOU part 2 is an achievement of the medium.

    The game is amazing, not better than the first but really keeps you on the edge of your seat and gives you that heavy dose of reality with amazing scenery. Despite what everyone says I really think people need to actually play this with an open mind or at least watch a fully playthrough. Neil and the crew at Naughty Dog did a fantastic job. I'm starting my second run on the game now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Perfect!

    Ellie cannot live a fairy tale simply because the first game never aimed for it. It is cruel but it is true. Ellie has a much bigger purpose in all of this. She has a cure for humanity. And that's the beauty of the ending. The final memory with Joel makes her wake up. "My life has a purpose, and it is above a desire for revenge and a desire to live an ordinary life." So she lets Abby live, lets go of the guitar, grab her backpack and sets out to find her purpose. Thats the beautiful of the game. Abby gets real before that. The desire for revenge deflected the purpose and took everything away from them both. And Tommy! I believe that part 3 (if happens) will work on the redemption of Ellie and Dina in search for a cure. What do you think?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game really is a masterpiece. I'm into survival horror much more than action/adventure, so I am surprised that anyone could have a problem with the game being "unrelentingly bleak." For me, that a bonus. The gameplay and storyline are ethically demanding and emotionally taxing. You are forced to reckon with the violence your characters partake in and from multiple angles. Becoming attached to opposing characters in the game made it truly disturbing and uncomfortable when circumstances got reversed. This kind of storytelling is more common in literature than in games, and I appreciated it greatly. Beware of all the snap judgments out there: a proper playthrough takes 25 to 35 hours, and the internet was flooded with bashing mere hours after release. On top of that, characters not behaving the way you wish they would is not a plot hole. Expand

    My heart is broken. At first it was anger, disappointment. But now it's just emptiness.

    People have been waiting for so many years, and for what? To pay a lot of money for the nice picture and long, boring gameplay, during which these "geniuses" from Naughty Dog make us watch how everything, that we loved, is destroyed?

    I loved these characters, their story from first game. All that they both went through. They are not heroes, they did a lot of controversial and bad things. But this is a post-apocalypse, people survive as they can. And we understood that. We CAN understand this all.

    The salvation of a loved one is something, that we can feel, understand, and we would do the same. Joel’s action at the end of the first game was not good or right, but we would do the same. The end of the first game was great, so why continue?

    They destroyed everything. They abused what was dear to us. They did it dirty, stupid, not logical, cheap and sterile. So stupid that I have no words. They destroyed the very essence of the characters. Deprived them of themselves. They took what they undeservedly inherited from the glory of the first game and created a terrible homunculus out of stupidity, hatred and illogicality.

    There were so many opportunities and ideas, so much could have been done in these seven years. But they did the worst imaginable. They created a stupid and empty character, a girl with a bodybuilder body (yes, there is no post-apocalypse around, and everyone has their own gym and a huge number of proteins, proteins and carbohydrates), and gave her the power to create the fate of our favorite characters. It causes the players only one desire - turn off the game and no longer play it. Forgetting her like a nightmare.

    The mere desire to fulfill revenge gave strength to overcome this stupid game, but even this will not be given to us. They were supposed to give players the right to choose at the end of the game, but what I’m talking about... "Give us your money, take this bad fan fiction, and swallow the dirt with tears in your eyes, homophobes!" But what does homophobia have to do with it? This is not the problem with this game! This whole game is one big problem. Neil **** is a problem. And I hope, that soon as many people as possible will understand this and realize how cruelly deceived all of us are.

You can give a game a great cast, with a hard hitting story that is made to make us feel bad, but when your game play is boring and outdated, and most of the sad stuff is just watching abuse against females and LGBT people it's not good. The sex scene was not needed, especially with how Sony has been cracking down on censorship for any game from Japan that has lewd things in it. Why did we need to see a scene of someone getting taken from behind with nudity? Why wasn't that censored Sony? Not to mention it's unsafe sex. Not talking about a condom, it's anal with no prep or lube. It doesn't work that way people.
    When the game play is walking/sneaking between point a and b and then watch some cut scenes, maybe kill someone it gets stale quick. Which is what this game is.
    Swinging from ropes isn't something new to boast about, pitfall and DK have been doing it for over 30 years. The killing in this game is pretty much what you've seen in other killing games for the past 10 years as well. The only new thing this game really brings is the trans character, who was mocapped by someone not matching the body type at all, and is **** on for most of the game and even dead named.
    They tried for so many brownie points for their game and it just fails in all of those categories. It's almost like they used a dart board to figure out what buzzwords they wanted to use in the game to make it appeal to as many young people as possible, but in doing so made a pretty meh game at the end of the day.
    Finally let's also not forget about they bait and switching their trailers and ads for the game, by replacing a very important character from the ads with some other guy we care way less about in the game.
    This game doesn't deserve praise. It sure as hell doesn't deserve those bought 10s. It's a middle of the barrel game that tarnishes how good the first one was. Oh also enjoy like maybe 70 zombies for the entire game about zombies

    People are really upset about the game for the wrong and most stupid reasons. Here, I will be clearing up all misconceptions and conducting a final recommendation.

    PRO'S: - 10/10 graphics, especially if you play on 4k. - 8/10 story, basic but holds plenty of shorter story plots in the game, if you look hard enough. - 10/10 combat. The cinematic's in the game compared to gameplay
    People are really upset about the game for the wrong and most stupid reasons. Here, I will be clearing up all misconceptions and conducting a final recommendation.

    PRO'S:
    - 10/10 graphics, especially if you play on 4k.
    - 8/10 story, basic but holds plenty of shorter story plots in the game, if you look hard enough.
    - 10/10 combat.
    The cinematic's in the game compared to gameplay graphics are almost identical, and so beautiful. Definitely something you'd see from a tv show or a movie.

    CON'S:
    - The AI in the game can be kinda buggy, but it's not a constant reoccurring thing and only happens through certain parts of combat.
    - Don't play on a monitor with insane screen delay, it will be hard to play with.

    Would I recommend (Spoiler free): if you liked the first game, absolutely. Game-play was long (It took me 34 hours in moderate difficulty) and the combat in the game is like nothing I’ve ever seen in a video game. It truly is advanced, and to be honest I’d love to see a Tomb Raider with this type of combat. Story wise, it’s pretty good. It’s kind of predictable but something as simple as that could make a game. When I played the first half of the game it was AMAZING, I loved it. When I started the second half of the game with Abby, my opinion was “goddamn-it, do I really have to play this for 10 hours?” But about 3 or 4 more chapters into the second half of the game it really grew on me and made me bond with the characters- so do NOT let that discourage you from continuing. My feelings conflicted with the final scene of the game and that’s what I feel really made the game something worth while. Of course, after that major scene, were left with the final cinematic which is honestly truly the saddest scene I’ve ever seen, and maybe the best. If you get stuck in your head sometimes, you'll understand what was going through in Ellie's head throughout the journey, and it will make your heart feel for both Ellie and Joel.

    [SPOILERS AHEAD: All the rumors of the game and explaining them.]

    Joel does die about an hour and a half to two hours into the game. However, without his death there is no game, since the whole story plot revolves around Joel dying. Sure they could live a happy life, but the game couldn't have just picked up right after the hospital, we had to get a sense of Ellie growing up, and a sense of the new world. Ellie's immunity story-line is OVER. There's nothing more to do with that since the Fireflies are now dis-banned or mostly deceased from the Hospital. Even though Joel dies 2 hours into the game, you will still get heartfelt scenes and flashbacks with Joel. Abby is NOT a transgender. She is a women, and she looks masculine because heavy weights help her become stronger and relieve the stress, as she can some day avenge the death of her father. However, there IS a transgender in the game, a little boy named Lev who was banished from his tribe for his actions. Throughout the game, we were given the impression from the WOLVES that Joel was a bad guy for killing the Fireflies at the hospital and saving Ellie from her destined death. You have to understand why these people (and Ellie) were actually angry over a selfish act Joel had done. He could have potentially saved mankind, which leaves to my final misconception explanation: There is no cure to the virus. If you read every note, a few doctors and FEDRA soldiers have mentioned that the situation of the virus would not bring the zombies back to a humane mindset and ultimately will be unable to become human. (For some reason, some people seem to believe this is possible, as this is a fantasy game, it still does take realistic factors). The cure would only work for those alive and uninfected, however their chances of dying from the infected, still is a possibility as they cannot get infected directly from the virus they could still die by; bleeding out, getting overran, eaten alive, and so-on.

Like I don’t care about Abby but hey they could have at least done something better like we start off a little bit out of Jackson and have to make our way there go actually through the full game as both Characters and maybe throughout the game u get choices u got to make as Abby and when that day we saw in the first hour of the game u can choose to to save Joel because abbys squad don’t like him too and Joel saved Abby so then we could Have Abby giving that back to him after her friends attacked him but idk just can’t get this out of my head anymore so frustrating to know I can’t play as Joel in the next game and now I can never play the first game ever without rembering what happened in the 2 but honestly rip Joel one of the greatest characters to ever be in a game :( Expand

    Por otro lado la historia, (Sin importar lo que a mi o a ti te hubiera gustado) siento que ya lo he visto en otra parte y esta bien, es buena. Pero como jugador hubiera sido bueno que te hubieran dado el control, la opción, de tomar ciertas decisiones importantes que hubieran satisfecho al jugador de una manera u otra dependiendo de la elección que se hubiera tomado.

    Me refiero a esto ya que este juego de venganza, haces pagar a los causantes menos a quien perseguiste por todo el videojuego, y entonces al final, te hace sentir inútil, todo el sentimiento, todo el dolor, todo el sacrificio y toda la travesía de Ellie en general, culminada con un cliché que no tiene sentido del todo.

    So this is a very divisive game, and it's really odd to see that reviews are strongly polarized. If that was the objective, it worked, but it's sad that a game developer would do this to the fanbase. As if people don't have enough stuff in real life to fight about.

    Alright, let's go to the merits first.
    I enjoyed the cenary, the quality and detail of the worldbuilding was incredible and the physics were fun, even if a bit buggy.
    The mechanics were improved on, but still had much of what the first game had, just some additions to give it some flavor, I guess. The sneak mechanic I didn't enjoy, because it's unrealistic that you can always kill an enemy just by grabbing it from behind. Maybe if it had a chance to fail? That would have made it less powerful and more balanced.
    The story was unfulfilling and left a sour taste on the mouth of many gamers, me included. For a game that was loved for it's story, such a failure creates most of the divide that we are seeing here in the User Reviews. But let's not put blame on the entire group that developed the game, only on the writers. The fact that you aren't given a choice about your morals makes the moral idea behind the game fall flat. Either give a choice or don't try to guilt trip your players!

    Graphics: 10/10
    Gameplay: 7/10
    Story: 3/10 (gave some points because of the flashbacks)

    The game is focused on the story (giant amount of cutscenes), so I'm calculating my final score based on the following equation:
    Final Score = [Story + (Gameplay + Graphics)/2]/2
    Final Score = 5.75
    Rounded to...
    Final Score = 6

    ---------------

    ---------------

    Então, esse jogo se tornou polêmico, e é muito estranho ver pontuações tão polarizadas. Se esse foi o objetivo, bem, ele funcionou, mas ainda é triste que um criador de jogos faria isso com seus fãs. Como se as pessoas já não tivessem coisas na vida real sobre o que brigar.

    Começando com os méritos.
    Eu gostei do cenário, a qualidade e detalhe do mundo é incrível e a física é divertida, mesmo que meio bugada.
    As mecânicas melhoraram, mas ainda tem muito do que teve o primeiro jogo, só com algumas adições para dar um sabor. A mecânica de furtividade não me agradou, pois não é realista que você possa matar alguém sempre que pegá-lo por trás. Talvez se tivesse chance de falhar, fosse melhor? Faria com que essa mecânica fosse menos poderosa e consequentemente mais balanceada.
    A história foi insatisfatória e deixou um gosto amargo na boca de muitos jogadores, inclusive a mim. Pra um jogo que foi amado por sua história, essa falha cria a maior parte dessa divisão que estamos vendo nas pontuações aqui. Mas não culpemos todos os que trabalharam nesse jogo, o erro foi dos escritores apenas. Não nos ter dado a escolha de como agir faz com que a lição moral por trás do jogo seja inútil. Ou você dá a opção do jogador escolher como agir, ou não tente culpá-lo por agir como o jogo te força a agir!

    Visual: 10/10
    Jogabilidade: 7/10
    História: 3/10 (dei alguns pontos por causa das memórias inclusas)

    O jogo é focado na história (grande quantidade de cenas), então estou calculando minha pontuação final baseada na seguinte equação:
    Pontuação Final = [História + (Jogabilidade + Visual)/2]/2
    Pontuação Final = 5.75
    Aproximado para...
    Pontuação Final = 6

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We had Jake Skywalker, now we have Nole.

    When it comes to character destruction, this game is proficient at it. Joel no longer fits with the character developed from the first game and it ends in the worst way possible, a scene I will happily call a lazy rip off from The Walking Dead, which suits TLOU2’s story telling with how lazy and unoriginal it is. Abby is essentially Negan, her golf club is a replacement for Negan bat and Joel is Glenn, all the game really lacked was popping out an eyeball and delirious rambling. Then in the end the audience is denied any kind of absolution since like Negan, Abby gets off Scott free after getting all she wanted and as a fan my favourite characters are utterly destroyed.

    And while an original idea is impossible, the goal is to try and tell one in a different way that feels original, but this games story didn’t even seem to bother trying at all. A tired and worn out ‘lesson’ about revenge where you are left totally unsatisfied.

    The graphics seem to be the only ‘redeeming’ feature, it’s pretty, but I’m not a child swayed by ‘ooh shiny’. The gameplay is pretty meh and the whole reason for playing the game was the story, which is arguably the most important part of this genre, the gameplay being simply the means to the ends which just wasn’t worth it.

    I wouldn’t recommend buying, the game isn’t worth another play through and it’s also been falsely advertised, the trailers were manipulative and the reviews were also manipulated. The way this whole advertising and review strategy was implemented should be illegal, it’s pretty close to fraud in my opinion and frankly all these ‘official’ reviewers have zero legs to stand on when it comes to customer trust.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: Astonishing visuals. Incredibly impressive graphics to the point that I personally am surprised it can even run on a PlayStation 4. Also applies to the animations; very realistic and expressive.
    Sound Design: Equally as impressive as the visual fidelity of the game. The age and imperfect condition of the weapons are both seen and heard in the rusted chambers of guns, specifically the rifle.

    Cons:
    Story & Characters: The first few hours are alright. While Joel does get killed by vengeful ex-Fireflies, his character arc was over and he had served his purpose. From then on, however, the story actively pursues the objective of making the player miserable. The decent gameplay is marred entirely by being forced to play as a despicable character - Joel's remorseless killer - for half of the game and leaves the player either begging for the 10+ hour Abby section to end, or they just quit the game entirely.

    Summary: Quality graphics can only go so far when the story you're playing is trying to depress you. Every hint of happiness is crushed sooner or later, and reflects well Naughty Dog's mantra of "we don't use the word 'fun.'" Truly, if it weren't for the okay Ellie sections nearer to the start and the wonderful visuals, this game would have a rock bottom score from me.

    Sin embargo, la historia da mucho que pensar, ya sea para bien o para mal.
    Encuentro que el cambio de personaje fue un poco brusco, quizas si hubieras tenido un poco de cada personaje por capítulo, que se comprementara bien sería mejor. Otro punto a destacar es la duración del juego, que me parece espectácular que dure tanto pero se hace un poco tosco, como dije anteriormente si nos hubieran puesto las 2 historias entrelazadas, quizás hubiera complementado mejor. Entiendo que no todos los finales son felices, ni que todos los finales tengan que tener respuestas y eso es lo que logra The Last Of Us 2, nos deja reflexionando sobre todo lo vivido.
    Hablando sobre la muerte de Joel, encuentro que la historia tenia que progresar pero, como ya dije anteriormente, si nos hubieran metido la historia de Abby antes, explicandonos un poquito, no sé, hubiera quedado mejor.

    Just finished the game. Why I can understand why some wouldn't like the story, rating it this low is lunacy. I for one was gripped the whole time. Had moments of tears, smiles, and nervous shaking(none more than that last night in Seattle.) Give the game a chance. It's quite the ride.

    Graphics 8/10 pretty decent tbh
    Gameplay 7/10 the jump button is a joke, nothing new or inovative
    Story 1/10 it exists 5/10 -1 for killing off one and treatment of the main characters from the first game -1 for striking youtubers and social media users. -1 false advertising in the trailers. -1 for terrible ending, and no player choices -1 for Abby and the forced introduction,

    The Last of Us 2 foi uma das melhores experiências com uma narrativa fictícia que tive na vida. Quando digo assim “narrativa fictícia” de forma bem generalista é porque quero botar ele no patamar de grandes obras mesmo, de outros formatos, como filmes, séries, novelas, livros ou que quer que seja. Sim, essa foto aí e o assunto que tô tratando é sobre um jogo de videogame. Essa é uma formaThe Last of Us 2 foi uma das melhores experiências com uma narrativa fictícia que tive na vida. Quando digo assim “narrativa fictícia” de forma bem generalista é porque quero botar ele no patamar de grandes obras mesmo, de outros formatos, como filmes, séries, novelas, livros ou que quer que seja. Sim, essa foto aí e o assunto que tô tratando é sobre um jogo de videogame. Essa é uma forma relativamente nova de contar histórias e é até difícil descrever, pra quem não conhece, o quão intenso, emocionante e primoroso, em praticamente qualquer aspecto que possa se dizer, é esse jogo. Ele é pesado, é violento, mas ao mesmo tempo de uma sensibilidade difícil de encontrar, tratando profundamente sobre temas muito humanos, como o luto, o ódio, a vingança, mas também amor, arrependimento e perdão, desenvolve os personagens de um forma que vc vai quase sentindo essas coisas todas junto com eles, e esse, na verdade, é o grande diferencial de um videogame, ele tenta simular que vc está lá na história (teve uma hora q era tanto botão que eu apertava q tava pra ter um troço tentando impedir uma morte de uma personagem rsrsrsr). E mesmo já tratando desses sentimentos mais individuais, vai além, há ainda questões gerais como o fanatismo religioso, autocracias e as consequências disso para os indivíduos. Contudo, se isso tudo já não bastasse pra ser uma obra prima, tem a cereja do bolo, e essa aqui é mais pra quem é militante ou tem tendências à esquerda. The Last of Us 2 tá tendo uma campanha de depreciação na internet contra ele (talvez essa seja minha motivação principal pra estar escrevendo isso inclusive), não sem motivos, pois infelizmente uma parte expressiva dos autointitulados “gamers hardcore”, na verdade, são extremamente conservadores e alguns casos até fascistas e incel, e esse mesmo pessoal é quem está na empreitada de ódio contra o jogo. Ocorre que como toda grande obra, The Last of Us é influenciado pelas contradições de seu tempo, neste caso específico, o jogo é influenciado pelo melhor das lutas ao redor do mundo nos últimos anos, a luta feminista e também a luta dos LGBTQ (não deu tempo de ser influenciado pela explosão do antifascismo e antirracismo recente infelizmente). Normalmente jogos desses de grande orçamento, pra cumprir suas metas de lucros, voltada à multinacional que os produz, tenta agradar todo mundo. Os criadores, nesse caso, não fizeram isso, na contradição entre realizar seu trabalho artístico e o jogo comercial que necessita de alta lucratividade, resolveram contornar a questão dando máximo de qualidade técnica e narrativa pra vender e, assim, poder afrontar diretamente toda essa base de jogadores conservadores, fazendo a continuação de um jogo que tinha um homem (ainda que muito bem construído) como protagonista, com uma mulher lésbica no papel principal. Ellie não é a primeira personagem lésbica de um videogame, mas sem dúvidas é a mais importante e melhor desenvolvida já feita, além disso, uma boa parte da história do jogo se desenvolve a partir do amor que ela sente por outra mulher, sem contar que também há uma trama de um personagem transexual em dado momento. The Last of Us 2, portanto, além de todas suas enormes qualidades técnicas, é um jogo posicionado politicamente, algo inimaginável em produtos milionários como esse há alguns anos atrás. Enfim, estou maravilhado ao ponto de fazer esse textão porque queria outras pessoas sabendo disso, mas ao mesmo tempo é algo que me incomoda, pois sei o quão inacessível vai ser isso para a maioria da população, algumas vezes eu converso com amigos sobre a inacessibilidade do cinema, mas nesse caso aqui a situação é muito pior, pois é um tipo de entretenimento extremamente caro, uma pena, pois esse jogo não deveria ser pra poucos (nem quer ser, ele é tão inclusivo que tem opção pra pessoas cegas jogarem). Tem a possibilidade de ver o gameplay de outras pessoas no youtube, vira quase um filme, mas não recomendo, essa história não foi feita pra ser assistida e sim jogada, fazer isso vai tirar grande parte do apelo emocional e até criar algumas incongruências, principalmente pra quem tá acostumado a roteiros de cinema, volto a dizer, é pra simular que está lá e não pra ser mero expectador. Enfim, se vc também tem algum nível de privilégio e já joga videogame, então jogue esse, faça-se esse favor, se não joga e teria condições pra isso, acho que esse é um bom momento pra começar. Expand

    El juego es realmente bueno, las personas están enojadas porque no cumplieron con sus fantasías o tenían una expectativa diferente, la historia es muy buena, pero no perfecta, y creo que tiene que ver con la duración de las cinemáticas, el gameplay es excelente pero en si the last of us es un juego basado en la narrativa, y me hubiera gustado que siguiera la misma fórmula, pero aún así teEl juego es realmente bueno, las personas están enojadas porque no cumplieron con sus fantasías o tenían una expectativa diferente, la historia es muy buena, pero no perfecta, y creo que tiene que ver con la duración de las cinemáticas, el gameplay es excelente pero en si the last of us es un juego basado en la narrativa, y me hubiera gustado que siguiera la misma fórmula, pero aún así te da un producto excelente

    This game isn't getting review bombed. It's getting honest feedback on how gut-wrenchingly abominable it is. In reality, mainstream reviewers are being paid to give it good reviews and / or are being threatened with blacklisting for talking about how bad it is. Look at any large Youtuber or third-party entity who has no direct connection to the industry, and the reviews are identical.This game isn't getting review bombed. It's getting honest feedback on how gut-wrenchingly abominable it is. In reality, mainstream reviewers are being paid to give it good reviews and / or are being threatened with blacklisting for talking about how bad it is. Look at any large Youtuber or third-party entity who has no direct connection to the industry, and the reviews are identical. AngryJoe, Pewdiepie, Tyler1, all rate the game at 1/10 or below.

    Why is the game being rated so low? Well, for one very glaring reason that has nothing to do with homophobia. Plenty of games feature gay / non-binary characters, but everyone accepts them because they are amazing - like in Apex Legends.

    The utter hate for this game has to do with the fact that in the first two hours, they take half of what made the first game salable - Joel, and brutally murder him. Then, a few hours later, they make you play as the person who murdered him, and they try to get you to sympathize with her actions. Then, the top it all off, at the very end, after playing as Ellie and killing hundreds of people - you don't kill the person who killed your father in the end. Only a psychotic would find this story acceptable or not morally repugnant.

    This is probably going to ruin Naughty Dog, but Neil Druckmann and co. are so arrogant as to think that people not liking their game is either due to homophobia or "bots." The reality is that the market will dictate their fate. The company might go bankrupt as a result of this horrible treatment of one of their only franchises, as well as their treatment of fans. Naughty Dog games never had enough depth to warrant high sales rates other than likable / salable characters. Without their characters, their games are boring, linear, and critically lacking in depth. They just killed their best one and then had you play as their killer. They'll probably murder Nathan Drake yet, if they get to even make Unchartered 5. I doubt they would.

    El juego visualmente es muy bueno, el apartado técnico también es de lujo. No hay bajones de frames y la iluminación es simplemente inmejorable, un deleite a la vista. El game play es similar al primero, con unas leves inclusiones. Es de esperar puesto que el primer juego era bastante sólido en usa mecánicas.

    SJW's have taken over the gaming world, it's super sad to see. Not only that, but sites like this are actively suppressing who negatively review the game. Bad website and bad game.

    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]
