    Hola... lo he comprado con mucha ilusión, pero.. me ha parecido muy aburrido, gráficos mucho peor de lo que me esperaba y gameplay repetitivo.. y la historia/guión horrible..y no es una review bombing :-), siempre me han gustado los juegos de Naughty Dog, pero este, al menos las primeras horas, muy tedioso. uuff. Un saludo

    The last of us 1 made me buy a PS4, but The last of us part 2 will make me sell it.

    Perfect graphics, decent gameplay but nothing can save the game from the TERRIBLE STORY.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a huge let down. I’ve been so excited these past 6+ years to see the sequel. However, this game just feels wrong! How can we skip Joel’s rampage and eventual path to safety??? And jump straight into playing damn snowball fights and a stupid virtual guitar. Naughty Dog was gutted a few years ago, and we should’ve seen the writing on the wall then. Another potentially groundbreaking game ruined by feelings Expand

    firstly, I liked the first game. Great characters, well done story. This new game is not badly done technically. But the story and the message as well as the blatant political agenda that is behind it makes it unplayable for me.

    Ok, so first of all..... This rating is not for the gameplay or the graphics coz they're AMAZING! But while gameplay is important to me..... Graphics are not, I can play a game with mediocre graphics or older games.as long as there's a good plot to keep me interested. So what I am very upset and heartbroken about is the story which is pure ****

But the second one just leaves a bitter taste. Overall, I liked the game, but the story is just bad, I was literally screaming at my TV every time an Abby sequence ended and then... another one started, I came back for Ellie, not for some ox of a woman who I got to HATE in the opening hours of the game. Never have I hated a player character so much! There are a whole lot other flaws, but this was the main one for me. The worst part is that it tarnishes what the first game built upon, so it's been replaced as my all time favorite now. This is just sad. Expand

    The writing is very bad and amateur, the dialogue made me physically cringe many times, when characters speak in a manner that people don't in real life, all "relationship/ friend" characters seem to have the same exact way of interacting with each other, people make out of character decisions or say out of character things in order to service the "new" story, which retcons a lot of things from the 1st game in order to push a new narrative, tries to "assasinate" the old characters while putting the new one on a pedestal, it is done badly and feels very artificial, essentialy trying to emotionaly trick the player/viewer to sell the new narrative.

    And in the end it even manages to fail to accomplish its own narrative, because it gives the exact opposite message while at the same time it also makes everything that happened throughout the 20+ hours of gameplay pointless, I find that astounding. 1 point for running when you put the disc in.

Dont waste your money and certainly dont let your kids play this political piece of trash.

    Fans like Last of us left behind which had not only LGBTQ+ characters but the same characters as this game.

    Anyone using the excuse of this being an anti LGBTQ+ movement is woefully, sadly and stupidly wrong. It's been detailed excruciatingly as to why the story was garbage.

    No amount of handwaving and excuses will make that fact disappear.

    **THE ONLY REVIEW YOU WILL NEED**

    As a huge fan of Naughty Dogs and an avid lover of The Last of Us franchise, I'll be honest.
    [TL;DR at the end]

    > Have I played the whole game before writing this review? Yes.
    > Is this game THAT bad? No.
    > Is this game worth my money? No.
    > Will I play this game again? Never.

    Let me clarify what I mean. I'll rate this game based on the following metrics: Gameplay, Story, Visual, Soundtrack, Innovation.

    Gameplay: Gameplay is somewhat acceptable. This isn't definitely a big step up but it works. No major complaint.

    Story: This is probably THE weakest part of the game. If you played the previous games, you should know that story has been one of the integral parts of what makes this game unique. Not only this game missed those heart-wrenching and emotional moments, but the story also felt forced as ever. It felt like they weren't even trying. A major downgrade in the quality of the story and conveyed no message whatsoever.

    Visual: Probably the only good thing about this game. If you don't mind playing a mediocre and not-so-important game for the sake of outstanding visuals, grab this one. This game will surely surprise you with eye-catching graphics.

    Soundtrack: Soundtrack is good. Not the best one out there but definitely tries to get you immersed into the game, which it could've done if it weren't for the boring and inanimate storyline.

    Innovation: Zero innovation. Doesn't bring anything new into the franchise. Avid fans like me who eagerly wait for these games wouldn't care much if this game never existed in the first place.

    Final Verdict: If you're considering buying this game and not sure if you should buy the game, I'll help you out. DON'T. If one word could describe this game, that would be "cash-grab". Naughty Dogs changed their previous gameplay elements and mechanics here and there and shipped this game in a new package. The story is as bad as it can get. It singlehandedly destroyed the reputation the franchise has been building up for years. If it weren't for the eye-catching graphics, I don't think I could've sat through the whole game. Not recommended. I hope Naughty Dog takes fans' response as a red flag and focuses on delivering great stories and gameplay.

You CANNOT redeem this new character(Abby) and the game desperatly tries to do that and meanwhile make actual main characters like Ellie act out of character and generally **** It doesn't work.

Over all the game could have been so much more and its just sad that such a long awaited sequel was so disappointing. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Expand

Also PlayStation exclusivity needs to end but maybe that’s just cause I prefer to play things on my pc. Expand

    I feel scammed for my money, given how unsatisfying the game is in each and every facette of its gameplay and its storytelling. Bagatalizing its lack of quality over the assumption that people would care about an obviously lesbian character being lesbian is a media stunt and a half as well. The game's **** coz it's **** buds, noone is trying to push an agenda.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Complete and utter rubbish and an insult, I stayed away from the leaks that ND said was not true and guess what everything about the leaks that I have now read are true. Sony and ND lied to everyone and they just don't care, Neil Druckman even has a collectors card in the game that I found where he awards himself 100 for intelligence.

    This game butchers the LORE for TLOU universe, Joel, Tommy and Ellie are like completely different people.

    The animations on the characters are just weird especially when walking in a scripted section, that GTA5 speed up and slow down is present even tho people swore it wasn't.

    Game play is no different from the first outing, there is nothing new going on and lots and lots of boring fillers to pad the fact out there is no story, no engaging story anyway.

    Neil Druckman said ND wants to shock the audience do things different do what other studios don't, other studios don't do this because this NDs approach and story telling this time does not work.

    The death of Joel is a complete insult not just that this nobody who is so wooden and boring kills him, but that it's out of your hands and whole thing is a cutscene, oh and Abbeys BF spits on Joels corpse that's the BF who is Druckmans double.

    The sex scene i'm still haunted about as it is just weird!

    I could go on but there is no point, Sony and ND are dead to me, they have lied in the build up to release and completely insulted a loyal fan base that had seven years invested.

    Especially in 2020 gaming is good to escape reality especially with lockdown and all the misery in the world, this game will just make you feel worse with it's hard left agenda, within the first ten minutes the word bigot is thrown around, Sony and ND are big on double standards and their behaviour to any criticism with certain Youtubers that called them out is outrageous.

    Anyway i'm ranting but i'm burned, oh and if any of the journos that found fault but still awarded a 10/10 your dead to me, any wonder why people go off the user reviews on here and tomatoes these days, journos award 10/10 out of fear so the left don't go after them, lose their job and get called a Nazi for not agreeing.

    - Characters are not interesting one bit. It feels like they tried to jammed in there as many as possible new secondary characters. Unnecessary.
    - Voice acting really good.
    - Graphics - ok. But what else would you expect from 3A studio.
    - I enjoyed the atmosphere from time to time but as I said it was getting boring for me and other viewers.
    - Game play itself is nothing new. Stupid AI. Hard to move around. No new features were introduced since the first game. I shall remind you - it was 7 years ago, and this is 3A game.
    - PLOT. Classic revenge plot. Badly executed. If you would like to play a game with a similar scenerio check out Far Cry 3 - amazing game, still to this day. They knew how to handle this kind of story.
    Naughtydawg tho.... Not only they ruined what people loved in the first game but delivered poiontless game in which how it turns out you can't alteret evens in one bit.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is by far the worst game I’ve ever played and I’ve platinum over 300+ games including TLOU2. The story was immensely poor with subplots going nowhere, characters acting out of character inconsistently. Heavily pregnant people running, jumping, climbing and leaping from buildings somehow? Introducing characters nobody cares about and making you care for them for over 10 hours only to kill them off anyway.

    Then there’s the worst character to be introduced into any video game ever, Abby who has a personality of a wet fish, who becomes the most unlikeable character in the game after she kills Joel and try’s to justify it by saying, that Joel killing her dad after he pulls a scalpel on him is okay and enough of an excuse to kill him?? The graphics was also buggy, mostly when your playing as Ellie, and the cringe sex scene was so out of place and unnecessary just like Abby’s half of the game.

    Overall TLOU2 is a miserable excuse of the game which prefers to focus on pandering rather than interesting gameplay. So the reason why most people hate it, is because it was a really big disappointment for fans who were looking forward to decent sequel to match up the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I made an account just so I can write a review. I’m only about 5 hours into the game so take it with a grain of salt but I can agree with most of these reviews and am truly baffled by the number from the “critics” giving this game a 95! Honestly, I almost stopped playing after Joel was killed. I almost threw up I was so disgusted with how ND decided to kill off probably the most loved character in gaming history. Truly a slap in the face.

    It’s also questionable, imo, to have such a “woke” storyline. Practically turning off most gamers. I’m not homophobic but I would appreciate if not everything in my life is someone/something trying to push their progressive political views on me.

    If I wanted that **** in my life I would create a Twitter account and join the “woke”, “cancel-culture” crowd of 20-30 year olds with a functioning brain power of 5 year olds.

    I’ll finish the game no doubt, but I already know it will be forgotten in a week. Unlike the first game that still brings up fond memories.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The critic reviews made it seem like the first half of the game was Ellie and Joel oriented, but Joel dies in the first hour or so of playing the game. The trailers even outright lie to make it seem like Joel will be a part of Ellies path of vengeance when he pulls her away and asks "You think I'd let you do this on your own?" And later character swaps him with Jessie instead. Joel dying was expected, but it was so poorly done that it leaves a bad taste. Parts of the game came off as a teen drama. Dialogue about ex girlfriends/boyfriends, breakups, pregnancies, cheating etc. They've skipped ahead several years and you're expected to just already be connected to strangers. The character and relationship development is non existent. You spend most of the game chasing after Tommy with Dina and finding Joels killers, getting some revenge on the way and the toll it takes on Ellie, which is decent. When you finally get face to face with Abby the game just pauses and sends you back twelve hours to see her side of things. I knew you would be playing as Abby but I expected it to blend more seamlessly. Instead it feels like all of your progress is ripped away for the sake of sympatizhing with someone you've been hunting down and it's not done well. She comes off as self righteous and holier than thou. When you're finally done with her part you get back to the scene you left at and you're forced to fight Ellie as Abby. You shoot tommy in the face, beat Ellie and Dina almost to death, and then let them go. You get a short piece of Ellies life with Dina on a farm, rasing a child together. Ellie has severe PTSD over Joels death. Tommy comes in with info on Abby. He's now disabled and is separated from his wife. When Ellie isn't sure about going, he screams at Ellie for breaking a promise to him. Ellie ends up leaving Dina behind to find Abby, who's been captured by a group. Ellie is nearly captured by those same people and goes to their location to find Abby, releases her, fights with her and ends up letting her go, losing two fingers in the process. When she returns home Dina is gone and all of her things are in one room. She tries to play guitar, but it doesn't work as well. After a flashback of talking to Joel about trying to forgive him for lying, she is seen walking off in the distance. She loses everything for nothing and so does Tommy. The story is a 0/10 and the only thing that gets it a few more points is how gorgeous the game is and the one sentimental flashback of Joel taking Ellie to a dinosaur/space museum. That was the best part in the whole game and that's honestly sad. Expand

    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.
