    I've never had such emotional response to a work of fiction before.
    They took very brave decisions with the story, and for me it was all brilliant. Exactly what I want from a story. Misery in fiction is cozy to me. If that's not your cake, it might not be the game for you.
    Best console graphics I've seen. Great acting, phenomenal sound design. Game play had room for improvement, but    I've never had such emotional response to a work of fiction before.

    Absolutely superb game. Graphics are off the charts for this generation, the gameplay has improved a great deal and makes it even more fun to play, and the story is bleak, violent, and moving, just as The Last of Us story should be.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Does someone at ND believe the players don't know what a narration is? It's not Abby who kills Joel, it's ND. And it's ND who kills Joel in the way he's killed, defenseless and disgraced. Why present us a character we have to play for about 6 hours as an ungrateful coward who draws pleasure from hurting others? And it makes absolutely no sense to let Ellie and Tommy live in that moment. ND just does because they're needed later to continue a bad story. And they do this again at the end to be able to use Abby in part 3 which I won't buy.
    It's ND who makes the player do all the violent things, because the player has no chance of playing the game other than ND wants them to. And then try to make the characters we love look bad for all the violence they've done? I felt nothing after Ellie killed the pregnant Mel. Why should I? The game gave me no chance to handle the situation differently. Jesus this story sucks. And a girl who likes dinosaurs ends up with a girlfriend called Dina - seriously?
    The Last of Us is now the game series that has both the best and the worst story in gaming. Including the most unlikable character you've ever played. The game mechanics are better, but who cares if the story is bad? The technical aspects are a 10/10, but who cares if the story is bad?    … Expand

    TLOU2 is a pathetic attempt to add shock value to a game but it fails miserably by butchering the narrative. Graphics and music don't mean anything if the narrative feels pointless.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked it. The story is dark and twisted. If I wanted to relive what was in the first one, I would go and play TLOU.
    I loved the gameplay. Sneaking around, better combat, more swimming, more hiding. Really great.
    I liked two sides of story. I dont think you were suppose to like Abby cause you have to play as her. Its your choice if you gonna like her, or not. No one elses.
    Yes, it was cruel what happened to Joel. But what he did while saving Ellie - we all knew its BAD. its to choose one person over all others. Joel and Tommy did some stuff before the game and we all know it too. They were no saints.
    So, didnt you think someone would take revenge? Someone from family gonna just pass on that? Eye for an eye. Thats the whole story. Revenge. On both sides.

    And for god's sake, if you complain about s*x scene with Abby, and her body type - I really suggest looking around that women come in ALL shapes. As a woman myself, I was pleased to see someone who is not the sexy body type, or skinny, but a woman, who works out and have muscles. ( If you think Im the same, no. I'm absolute opposite. )

    Play the game. You don't like it? Fine.
    I loved it.
    A little minus for some repetitive parts of games. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.
    Ive read some people who wrote they own plot of the game...There is forum for that. Just cause you don't like that it's not happy ending story, does not mean game is bad.
    And thank you Naught Dog, for including LGBTQ+ in the game.    … Expand

Vamos a ver, a nivel de game play el juego es bastante superior aunque debería asi de serlo, su predecesor se lanzó para la ps3, por lo que es natural que tlou2 sea encantador en ese aspecto y un poco innovador en sus mecánicas, pero el centro del asunto cuando hablamos de un juego de culto, es que debes de tener una narrativa con lógica y con personajes que sostengan la trama, tenemos que ser claros como historia es de un 8 pero no es lo que un fan deseaba ver, y su final es sacado debajo de la manga demasiado cliché, demasiado moralista en un escenario que no cabe. Si eres fan de tlou vas a terminar muy decepcionado por que  si ese es su problema su final patético, sin sentido sacado debajo de la manga, y eso es imperdonable, ¿por que  la calificación tan baja? , justamente por eso por que es un juego que terminal mal, para un fan que es realista termina mal, y lo mas injusto es que recorres ese camino para terminar de esa manera por lo que se transforma en una estafa, tenlo por seguro que asi te sentirás y ya sabes el por que de tan bajo puntaje de los usuarios.
    Como videojuego es excelente no debemos negarlo, pero si lo análisis existen infinidades de posibilidades de una trama para la historia y justamente eligieron algo así, eso es un pecado. Moraleja: si tienes algo perfecto, dejalo así no lo toques. PD: todos los spoiler eran ciertos    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, here is my completely legitimate completely official game purchaser review of TLOU 2. Spoiler alert ladies and gentlemen, I hated it, and let me explain why. The introduction of a completely new antagonist that upends the lives of our characters Joel and Ellie works in theory, but it’s poorly executed in the writing in this game. The antagonist isn’t truly built up enough before the death scene of a universally loved character. The death scene was, in my honest opinion done the way that it was done to induce shock and garner hatred for Abbie. The problem is, once that hatred for Abbie settles in, the game shoves you into playing as her, to fight another beloved character. I don’t know what naughty dog and company were smoking when they came up with this, but I want a hit of it. As a huge fan of the original game, and coming into this one open minded and spoiler free, I can safely say... don’t waste your money folks.… Expand

    The game looks beautiful. The environments, the characters, they look great. The sound and music is fantastic, it really draws you in the moments. The gameplay is largely solid. Very similar to the original. A small is I came across was AI companions moving in your way and pushing you out of hiding. Other than that, the gameplay while solid can get repetitive. My main issue is how the gameplay conflicts with the storytelling.

    So where does this game fall apart? The storytelling. Now for a game like this, where the main focus is storytelling, that's a big hurdle to fall down on. This is just a story that didn't need to be told and ultimately lead nowhere. In the first game we grappled with what is right and what is wrong. What would we do for the ones we loved. You struggled with Joel and Ellies growth as characters. This game wrestles with similar issues, but does a much worse job of doing it. It lacks any sort subtlety like the first game and thorws it all in your face. It feels forced. They are so obviously trying to make you feel a certain way that it doesn't feel real. It ultimately feels pointless and you wonder why this even needed to happen?

    A lesson to all game developers. When making a sequel for a story based game, ask yourselves why. Will this necessarily expand on the characters and story as a whole in a meaningful way? Is this needed? If the answer is no. Then just leave it be. Just like this series should have been left alone.    … Expand

    If you liked the gameplay of the first one, you'll love this. Levels are much more open and it feels less artificial. The graphics are the best i've ever seen on a console. Many new likeable characters get introduced and we really get to know our favourites from part one, in good and in bad ways.

    The story isn't just a simple hero story. Ellie and Joel don't just save the day. The story is more complex than just the hero getting betrayed like in Uncharted for example and then getting back up. People expected twists and turns in the story leading to a hero winning whatever they fought for.

    Maybe this is why people don't like it. Maybe it's too real. This game puts you into a moral vice.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why would they kill of Joel like that? He was a beloved character from the first game, if you want to kill him off, fine, but give him a real end. Have him die like a hero sacrificing himself to protect Ellie at the very end of the game or something, not like an idiot at the start of the game. It ruins the entire story the first game built, and TLOU is a game whose strong point was the story. Why, just why, ND?… Expand

    An impressive technical achievement that still manages to deliver effective and simple, yet arguably dated gameplay, with a story that shows moments of brilliance, yet is overall marred by poor writing that feels contrived, forced, self indulgent, and overly moralistic.

    pros:
    - excellent graphics
    - incredible environments to explore
    - dated, yet IMO still effective gameplay - an extension of TLOU's tense resource scarce combat and exploration
    - some very good story moments (in particular the flashbacks) that will make TLOU fans nostalgic - the game is arguably worth playing for these alone.
    - The game tries to do something very daring in its story, which is a good thing. As is the inclusion of new characters who are openly transgender (no, not Abby, but another new character), and who do grow close to you as the game progresses.

    negative:
    - very badly told story with a ton of "WTF, why did they just do that?" moments that are obviously out of place, are unintentionally funny, and appear to be included solely as a means to get the story moving
    - some unlikeable new characters that give nothing new to TLOU universe
    - The game attempts to make a player question the point of violence, yet does this by never giving you a choice in key moments, and makes the possibility for complete stealth gameplay (no kills) virtually impossible (eg. in order to fully explore an environment and gather resources you will have to kill all enemies, otherwise full exploration is near impossible. The game thus forces you to play in a certain way otherwise you will either not progress, or will miss half of its contents - significantly, this is not due to difficulty, but rather a failure in game design).

    On the whole if the story writing and screenplay had been better the structure of this game could have really paid off... I found the idea of having a main character killed off early, and playing a part of the game as the antagonist, actually quite good - it is just how this is done, who these people are, and what they do that makes you laugh due to the cringe, which is an unintentional outcome of the poor writing.

    It gets an 8 due to the fun gameplay, incredible environments, great voice acting, and graphics... having finished the game it did manage to leave a profound effect, as the overall experience was still enjoyable despite the serious pacing and storytelling issues.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely stunning, and I was continually shocked at the levels of detail and nuance used throughout. I am happy to have avoided the leaks before the game came out - even though I caught wind of Joel's demise - because that left me able to make up my own mind with the game.

    I read and hear people saying that things didn't make sense with either how characters acted in a certain situation instead of being more suspicious. But what they're not taking into account is what often happens after a high stress situation - you relax. Even if just for a little bit. Joel, Tommy and Abby had gone through a high stress situation together. They worked as a team to survive. It makes sense that their guard was down. Disappointing, but it happened.

    As players in an RPG, we don't get that personal experience because we're taught to be on guard the whole time, and most importantly - by our self with no-one else to rely upon. So, naturally, our guard will stay up after a tense exchange with the WLF, The Seraphites or the Infected. No-one has our back, so it's in our best interests to stay on guard until the ominous music stops.

    It seems the critiques of this situation are purely taking an intellectual perspective, rather than taking into account the emotion side as well. It's always easy to "As if" from the sidelines...

    Next thing:

    Any complaints about LGBT inclusion in the game as being political, woke, or any other description is missing the point. This is commentary on both the past and present acceptance of this community. To be accepting of it isn't about being "woke", it's purely about acceptance of another human being. The reason it's being talked about nowadays is because it's no longer taboo, or putting someone's life at risk for that being their life. TLOU2 shows the cross of old thinking with current acceptance - The Scars vs. Abby. It also shows that some elements and struggles in a post-apocalyptic may not be that different from what we experience in our comfortable arm-chair lifestyle that we have today.

    Last thing:

    I hear complaints about not enough advancements in game-play mechanics. TLOU has always been about story first. In fact, Naughty Dog has been very consistent with this right from the beginning of the Uncharted series. Yeah, the gameplay mechanics were ok, but it was the STORY and characters that we connected with the most. ND pioneered mo-cap, and moved the industry as a result. When we talk about our favourite moments in TLOU1, it's not about this or that fight that we had. We talk about the moments that were cinematics - moments that we were the passenger as that moment of the story unfolded. Ummmm.... Same thing here! Yeah, there were improvements to gameplay mechanics - were they revolutionary? Mostly no. But that's not where their full efforts go. Everyone loved the first game even though there was wide acknowledgement that the gameplay mechanics weren't as good as othe games. This is called balance.

    Ok, ACTUAL last thing...

    I don't know how people were finishing the game in 25-28 hours! It took me just shy of 41 hours over 4 days to knock this game out. I got complete value for money out of it. Yes, I looked in every nook and cranny to get the most out of it. I soaked it all up. All the little details hiding in the different corners. This is a HUUUGE RPG, and so worth exploring all the little details that this team has worked tirelessly to be able to achieve.

    I absolutely loved this game. I'll play it again and again for sure. Perfectly legitimised itself as a sequel with beautifully executed ties to the first one to create drama and resolution.    … Expand

In a good way), slightly improved AI and better difficulty balance of the encounters. - Great technical presentation.

    - Story is great. It does some unexpected (if you avoid spoilers) things we dont usually see in the stories. And makes sure you dont see the story as a simple black and white strunggle between good nice guy vs bad ugly guy that needs to be killed to make the world a better place. It will make you question what you are doing and sometimes can create confused feelings ("Should I feel bad about this if I felt ok with it few hours ago?" "Was it ok to kill that person?"). For me this is something I really appreciate because it is rare and few writers dare to try this. (it is so much easier to say "it is ok to kill these people, because they are red on minimap." And TLoU tries to avoid this approach as much as possible)

That doesn't mean the gameplay is bad, it's very average and enjoyable, especially when fighting human enemies and constantly running in and out of stealth, similar to uncharted. The game has somewhat open worlds, similar to lost legacy, where they give you an area to explore that's somewhat big but doesn't take more then 10 minutes to pick clean.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Close to platinum because I want people to understand that I have gone to the lengths required to fully review this game

    Graphics - 10 - With the leaps Naughty Dog has made in the years since the first game, this game is stunning to look at. The environment at times looks unbelievably real, and the characters are beautifully detailed. However, some visual glitches persisted throughout my playthrough and some actually were enough to completely ruin my immersion in the game. T-posing, bright red artifacts appearing whenever gore occurred and models ghosting through various objects. Unfortunate but in spite of that, the game is one of the best looking on the PS4

    Sound Design - 9 - This department absolutely popped off and created some of the most satisfying sounds I've ever heard in a game. Cleaning and creating weapons, shooting and reloading, and having a weapon make contact with an impactful thud all add to immersing the player in the game. Absolutely phenomenal work.

    Level Design - 5 - Fantastic decision to use Seattle as the setting for the game, but abysmal direction for not utilizing it more other than a few sparse enemies here and there. Encounters can be boiled down to: explore wide open area, kill 4-8 enemies, explore some more. The level design is top notch, but with so little enemy encounters it can at times feel like a playable tech demo meant to look pretty with no real substance behind it.

    Gameplay - 7 - Mechanically plays the same as the original for better or worse. The game is clunky and rough to handle at times which is to be expected unfortunately. This series was never well-known for it's groundbreaking gameplay so it's serviceable at best, but it's a shame they didn't attempt to .work upon an obviously aged aspect of the game.

    Story - 0 - This is where the game falls apart. The Last of Us, regardless of what the writers try to justify, was about the relationship of Joel & Ellie. A man who had lost his child at the onset of the outbreak, and a teenager who had lost her parents travel together across the country to find a dubious organization known as the Fireflies. They bond over the course of the Journey and become inseparable. Joel made the decision to save Ellie from the group who was willing to murder a child for a cure that had VERY slim chances at succeeding, and even then after the entire course of the game along with multiple lore sources the question was brought up "Would a cure even matter at this point?". The second game immediately derails this by painting Joel's actions as the wrong one, and spends most of its run time attempting to show Joel in as bad of a light as possible barring some flashbacks that should have been the basis of the game to begin with. Ellie is reduced to a bitter villain through the course of her journey which is made to make the player feel awful as Abby & Lev are propped up as the "new" Joel & Ellie which wouldn't need to occur if Neil & Halley had followed through on "Honoring Ellie and Joel specifically". By the end of the game most of the cast introduced has been needlessly and brutally murdered by both Ellie and Abby. **** saying that Abby should have died, the whole game should not have been made at this point because the credibility of the studio has now been put into question and they've rendered the entire first game pointless because of their efforts.

    This game series was brought up to its "Pillar of Gaming" status due to the story, nothing else. The fact that valid criticisms are being disregarded or generalized is completely disgusting, and it's such a shame because this game could have been a story about hope and forgiveness. Instead all that's left is anger and shame.    … Expand

To call us disingenuous or untruthful tells us that they don’t care about our opinion/rating if it doesn’t align with the money generating scheme that is currently set up. You can see this with your own eyes - I don’t need to tell you. Just look at the difference between PAID shill reviews who are on board with the SJW/diversity/gender politics band wagon and reviews from people who are honest and UNPAID who work their asses off every day to be able to buy the things we enjoy. We don’t work all day to fight to get to the weekend only to crack open a game that goes south within the first hours of the game - and continuously goes south right to the end.

    Yeah, that’s great - all the shill reviews are going on and on about graphics, and lighting and “mood” and they’re not even being truthful about story and characters. They just want you to keep your head down, eat up the story slop and move on to the next BAD GAME like a mindless drone. They got their money from you, they could care less about anything else after they robbed you of what could have been a well oiled story with amazing characters. I will close by saying I will NEVER buy a naughty dog game again, ever. Thanks for the slap in the face. I hope this disaster sinks the stock of your company and buries you. You deserve it. How’s that for a fake review?
