    Excellent graphics. Better gameplay than in TLoU part I. And i liked stealth this time.
    Some mess with the story, but it was a journey about coming from anger to forgiveness. About loosing all to find inner calm.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Totalmente desnecessário a forma como descartaram o Joel, um personagem tão querido. Ao menos deveria ter nos dado mais tempo com ele, dado outras motivações à Ellie. Foi um desrespeito com os fãs do personagem e personagem nenhum preencheu o vazio deixado por ele.

    Além do mais, foi sem sentido e contraditório a forma como Joel é Tommy confiaram de forma repentina na Abby

Abby, como cualquier persona, tiene una historia, y su historia le llevó a matar a Joel y a crear el ciclo de venganza. 10/10 No apto para mariquitas que solo le gusta el fanservice y que ven series como Fairy Tail porque no muere ningún personaje.

Because good vs evil is not how the world works. Unfortunately, people believe that if enough people agree on something, that makes it true. Tell that to flat earth believers. The game is not perfect. But nothing is. I had a blast playing it. It was a roller coaster of emotions. It was scary. It was tense. It was breathtaking and at times, infuriating. But it was worth it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I'm 3/4 of the way through the game and I honestly want to refund it. I'm literally only going on because I just want to see Ellie beat the antagonist to death... I did not read any of the spoilers going into it, I didn't even know it was being review bombed until I pulled up metacritic to leave a review... The dialogue is trash, the plot and decision making is trash. As a result I just can't believe any of these characters actions, was this even written by the same people? How did we go from some of the most believable characters EVER written in TLOU1 to this?! While I'm sure there are some homophobic pieces of trash that hate this game because of lesbians, for me you could replace Dina with a guy and the dialogue would still make me cringe and want to turn the console off. My day has been ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable at the waste of potential. Maybe this is my fault for hyping myself up and playing TLOU1 the other day to get amped up for TLOU2 and my expectations were set so very high, however the difference in writing quality is startling. Basically the only thing this game has going for it is pretty scenery and a good soundtrack which is why I give it a 2 out of 10. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's a difference between art and propaganda, if I can gauge the entirety of the author's worldview by their work it is not a well developed piece, especially if the narrative falls within the archetypal sensibilities of an ideologue. I've gained nothing from this story, I could go to tumblr and read better fan fictions. It's just iconoclasm of the most vengeful sort, to kill a beloved character with indignity and no resolution to that, while having the villain escape scot free due to characteristics considered protected by the author. It's offensive to the human capacity to form stories. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I did not expect that Naughty dog would actually go there. I loved the atmosphere as always. The rainy, grungy feeling that Seattle has, together with Pearl Jam and Mark Lanegan songs, really did set the tone for me. I really liked the first half of the game. The second half of the game was the part that I liked the least since I really dislike Abby as a character. I never really cared about her past or motives. The fact that she did what she did to Joel made her automatically an enemy to my eyes. I really like how she suffered up to the very last minute. Also some deaths are extremely satisfying in chapter 3 and 4. Everyone that hasn't played it should definitely do so. Especially if you have played the first one. Do not pay attention to the noise. Naughty dog handled some issues very nicely and with respect. I disliked the fact that we play as Abby for quite a big part of the game, but I understand what the writers tried to do and I don't hate it. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibly terrible story, literally writes the original characters into being morons and villains to push a narrative. That narrative being "revenge cycle is bad".
    They take this to an extremely stupid place, with Joel dying and Ellie murdering all of Abby's(child of an NPC in first game that golf clubs Joel) crew, only to suddenly realized revenge isnt worth it after Tommy is shot, she loses everything to include 2 fingers and already killed people far more innocent then Abby to just let her live. It then ends on a weird note that Joel is evil and it's better to let someone who murdered essentially you father live because revenge is bad even though you already killed like a 100 people for that revenge.

    Бессмысленный и нелогичный сюжет. Как долго, бухали или курили бамбук Сценаристы, можно только догадываться.
    Джоэл - умный и опытный, который чует подвох, за милю. Во второй части, Джоэл стал тупым.
    Когда кругом враждебные группировки, он соглашается иди к "друзьям" Эбби... При этом эта игра, требует играть за Эбби...(
    Теперь, как должно быть на самом деле: Как только, Эбби рассказала, что её ждут друзья недалеко, Джоэл понимает, что Эбби - лазурчик/разведчик, выясняет сколько человек в доме, и как долго, она одна гуляет (чтобы понять, что она разведала). Затем Джоэл оправляет Эбби к отцу... Game Over (для Эбби).
    Если Эбби знала, про Джоэла, значит знала и про Элли... Но ее отпустила.
    Эбби узнала Джоэла, по его имени?! Возможно, Имя Джоэл, очень редкое...
    Нелепое поведение НПС, не нападают на Дину, и вообще Дину, они не видят, для них, она прозрачная.
    1 только за Графику.
    Данная игра подтвердила 2 правила: Прежде чем покупать игру, посмотрите прохождение игры. И никогда не делайте Предзаказ.

    machine translation
    The whole game is about who Abby is? and what the **** did Abby put him in that game? No motivation to play for it, no.
    Meaningless and illogical story. How long have you been drinking or smoking bamboo Writers can only guess.
    Joel is smart and experienced, and he smells tricks a mile away. In the second part, Joel became stupid.
    When there are hostile groups around, he agrees to go to Abby’s "friends"... but this game demands to play for Abby...(
    As a matter of fact: As soon as Abby reveals that her friends are waiting for her nearby, Joel realizes that Abby is a laser/scout, figuring out how many people in the house, and how long she is alone (to figure out what she’s been scouting). Joel then sends Abby to her father... Game Over (for Abby).
    If Abby knew about Joel, she knew about Ellie... but she let her go.
    Abby recognized Joel by his name?! Perhaps Joel’s name, very rare...
    The ridiculous behavior of the NPC doesn’t attack Dina, and in general, Dina, they don’t see, for them, she’s transparent.
    This game confirmed two rules: Watch the walkthrough game pass before buying a game. And never pre-order.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics were amazing; on point, as a game in 2020 should have. The development of Ellie was something to behold, too. Her growth skills-wise (swimming, playing the guitar) sets an admirable waypoint to the age between part 1 and 2. The gameplay is roughly the same, but I have no problem with what isn't broken.

    I wanted to love this game. I do. I wanted it all to make sense, but it doesn't. It preaches that "one must end the cycle of violence", that somehow it makes sense that the ending would be the way it was, but let's face it: Protag#2 didn't deserve her fate. You can't give respite to the person who started Ellie's journey while letting Ellie sit on her ashes. At the end of it all, Ellie did what she had to do, and just as the story ought to conclude, just as she would have given honor to how Joel was lambasted by the characters, the plot (and by extension, the producers/ story planners), Ellie pulls the punch. Unsatisfying. Disappointing, and horrendous.

    I'm not sure to whom this story was meant to cater to. Everyone is just miserable at the end, except for Protag#2 who casually sails away with her adoptive friend/ child-- the person who doesn't deserve it the most.

    Even the accolades of gameplay and graphics doesn't dazzle me. Why play this game?

Ridiculous plot, the whole theme of the story seems like something an 8 year old would find deep. Character's decisions make absolutely zero goddamn sense. Beloved characters get treated like crap. The game's trailer is an absolute disgrace, misleading is an understatement, is false advertising, google the differences. Half of the game is just time-killer, no plot progression, no character-development.

    The best part of the game, by far, is the flashback sequences (and maybe the guitar playing, that was pretty cool as well.). And when the best part of your game is the flashbacks you know you messed up somewhere.

    The game gets a 1/10, the reason it didn't get 0 is the visuals, nothing to complain about there. Gameplay is almost exactly the same as the one 7 years ago, nothing changed. Glitches are everywhere, I lost count how many times my character was climbing an invisible ladder, and the death screen stuck on the screen after I respawn. Laughable.

    What an absolute trainwreck, Naughty Dog you get what you deserve after censoring and copyrighting people for their opinions. Neil Druckmann you deserve the hate you are getting now.

Además del increible gameplay y graficos, este juego contiene, en mi opinion, una maravillosa historia en donde te muestran como Ellie llega a un punto donde tanto esfuerzo por cobrar venganza la agota y se ha dado cuenta que lo ha perdido todo. Un final mas acercado a la realidad dentro de un juego que sale de la historia tipica del heroe que logra ganarle a todo mal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's heartbreaking to give this game such a low score considering how much I adored the first one however it's unfortunately what it deserves. The graphics are stunning as expected for a 2020 game, I found myself in awe walking around the different sets, the acting for the most part is phenomenal, the gameplay is great (most of it was recycled from the original game so really nothing new other than the fact that Ellie is faster and less bulky than Joel was making room for some interesting mechanics), the music was breathtaking, the story and character writing however was not. Naughty Dog completely ruined this games potential when they wrote such unlikable characters, I found myself being bored during most dialogue and just switched off to admire the graphics. To give such a beloved character an awful excuse of a 'send off' for no reason other than to fuel a revenge story is insulting to fans of the original game and by the 6th hour into the game it doesn't even feel like you're out for revenge it just feels like Ellie's on a rampage and Joel's death is just the best excuse they could come up with and to then be forced into playing as the character that killed him & expecting us to care for her is just rubbing salt on the wound. ND's handling of trailers was absolutely disgusting I avoided spoilers like my life depended on it and bought the game thinking I was going to get an Ellie focused story (a character who I loved) to build upon her character with Joel as one of the possible side characters (I wouldn't have even been mad if they killed him off at some point respectfully), instead she's been written as an uncharismatic teenager that nobody likes, her personality has completely changed and I guess you could read into it and say it's just a part of growing up in an apocalyptic universe however this is never explained. Joel goes from a careful, smart survivor to someone who willingly tells a group of armed strangers his name regardless of the reputation he built in the events of the first game. Scenes are ridiculously violent for the sake of being violent to a point where I personally had so much anxiety I had to stop playing for a while. If there's one good thing about the story & characters I suppose you could stretch and say it's ok at diversity, there's a handful of lgbtq+ characters & different ethnicities however it's not GREAT representation, scenes feel forced and one of the characters even plays into a harmful stereotype for bi people so take it or leave it. Overall The Last of Us 2 just feels like Naughty Dog ruined a perfect story with incredibly enjoyable characters just for the sake of making a sequel and getting more money, as a long time fan I will definitely not be buying anymore products from them. The score of 4 is based purely on graphics and gameplay but it's definitely not worth your money.
    It's upsetting to see reviewers blindly hating this game JUST because it features lgbt people at the center of it. However it's equally as frustrating to see people blindly supporting it, at the end of the day the story is just simply an injustice to the original game that so many people love and that's all it really boils down to.

The SJW’s really got their teeth into Naughty Dog. Way too much identity politics in this game. This franchise is ruined for me now. Returning the game.

    Well, I got to the point where two characters were laughing at these stupid porn parody titles of previous ND games and smoking weed and when called on it they rebuked the assertion that they were being immature and shirking their duties to protect a town that was relying on them was when I began to think that maybe the writer was a teenager.

    Then they used this really heavy handed event to emotionally manipulate you into liking a fundamentally unlikable character.
    The more I played the more I realised that every single surviving character in this game is unlikable. They bounce between smug, unreasonable and preachy and at the four hour mark I put the game down and won't be coming back to it.
    I don't know if they changed which team handles the game or changed lead writer but it feels like everyone who wrote this is clinically depressed. The alternative is that they wrote this to be as horribly depressing as possible with no hope spots to speak of.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. New characters are so poorly made. In the second half of the game, when they try to make you empathize with them, there is a desire to just quit the game. Another point that makes this unplayable is that the developers have made a bet on an outdated gameplay that has not changed much since 2011.
    I love the first part, but this game is dead.

The ending is so infuriating because it confirms that the entire game revolves around two women who don't know what they want. It barely moves the story forward, yet we are dealt with countless more dead. The game features the brutal killings of hundreds of people and animals in order to tell us that revenge isn't the answer. What kind of twisted BS is that? So now we are left with Abby, Lev, and Ellie to star in Part 3...man what a weak cast. I now understand why people thought Amy Hennig was a better director than Neil Druckmann. I give this game a 2 for the 2 fingers Ellie lost. Expand

TheRating this game off of 3 categories, 1) graphics, 2) storyline, 3) emotional connectivity to the character(s). As a colorblind individual with a steady decline in hearing the accessibility options reflected onto the game allowing me to hear cues and see more clearly as I was suggested to go either prone or run through the grass was amazing, I could feel each blade as I ran or hid. The storyline was a different than your normal this is what it is story. The out of the box thinking of the plot and sad moments in the game are the cement and foundation for the next story in the franchise if ever made and help build the characters to who they are, (some people aren't happy with something that happens early on in the game which I wont spoil), but let's be honest, what would the game be if it had not been what it was, more so upset that the incident happens and that you cant play as that character, it's a video game move on, life happens, would you want to play this game back in 2002 with the graphics back then? Probably not. Due to the storyline you feel emotionally invested in the character(s) and their struggle but the ability to have you see things from other perspectives opens your eyes to new ways of thinking and possibly changing your opinion on why something happens, the games themes of, vengeance blinding reason, karma will get you, acceptance and forgiveness are all clearly shown only if you analyze every emotion, every movement to determine why something is happening. This game is a great game and many are upset for the storyline, but that is one out of hundreds of categories you can rate it for, to me personally, I love this game. When you think you're rooting for one, you may suddenly root for another. Thank you Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am not usually one to write reviews of any sorts, but the bombing of bad reviews for this game that are straight up bad just had me feeling like putting in some positivity.

    Some points in here I can absolutely understand. While the sotry isn't bad, I do definitely feel like it has less of an impact on me than the story of the first game did. The previous one was a beautiful journey with two central characters getting to know each other through this journey and bonding, ultimately turning into their own little family.
    You won't get this with this game.
    The second part goes into a lot darker theritories and is less about telling telling a story about a journey. Nevetheless, I did like the story. Not everybody might agree with it, but in the end of the day things like these are subjective to everyone.

    Talking about gameplay, there was mainly one thing I did not like: Playing Abby.
    While I do understand what ND tried to do here (telling us her side of the story), the actual impact it had was very marginal. The entire section where we, the players, play as Abby feels empty and somehwat pointless. I would not have needed 8h+ of playing her to understand what she went through and that the things Ellie did have consequences. This could have been done in a 2-3h of gameplay and really did not need an interruption of over 8h of playing the actual main character, Ellie.

    Anyhow... For me, this game deserves a good 8/10 since everything else it has to offer is on the highest level you can wish for in any game. The story does have some rough edges, but is generally good. I would recommend everyone to, whilest not a master piece like the first one, play this game.

    Do yourself a favor and DO NOT read these negative reviews. Play the game yourself and make your own picture.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am genuinely upset and confused about this game. I loved the start, my first "why?" moment happened when I first played as Abby. I though, eh whatever, its just for this bit (boy was I wrong). I enjoyed the stoyy, the revenge that Ellie seeked for Joels brutal murder, yes i was sad and angry Joel was dead, but it's a dark world, he doesnt have plot armor. I loved every second playing as Ellie hunting down the group that was involved. However, forcing me to play as Abby was just a stupid decision. I dont care what agenda you have to show me Abbys side of the story, I played a 14 hour game as Joel, no matter what I see isn't going to make me sympathetic to his killer. Its a stupid and ridiculous choice to do this. It made me want to stop playing the game completely. Honestly, if you're a massive fan of the last of us, dont play this game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has very good graphics, interesting gameplay and excellent scenarios, these are the good points. But the main element of The Last of Us that is story was destroyed, the Naughty Dog made fans of the game disappointed by the death of Joel, who was very remarkable character and who dies pathetically in the game. The story took a totally different turn than most players imagine, and made the game's narrative very political and boring. So doing the game The Last of Us part II, which was long disappointment for the people who played the first game. And finally, the game has many bugs of collision with the scenery and textures do not load. For everything I said in the analysis my score will be low, because that game was a big disappointment for me. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una historia sumamente atrapante y e de decir que bastante ácida ,recomiendo jugarla al poder brindar una mirada bastante madura de la ética y moral en un mundo bastante individualista .
    Debo de mencionar que me siento complacido con la mayoría de deciciones tomadas salvo una problemática que siento ,es demaciado drama ,una cosa mala tras la otra le succeden a ellie y abby ,entiendo que sea el ciclo de odio pero llega un punto en el cual es casi desgastante sentir tantas emociones negativas .Menciono si acides por quedó si no tienes un buen día o una semana buena ,dios está nuevo te destroza emocionalmente .
    La segunda cuestión mala que siento es que abby tiene para un juego propio y siento que si historia salvo el principio como el final pero durante 4 o 6 horas la historia vuelca más al contexto de Seattle que ala situación de abby como ellie ,está bien ! Pero siento que es para un DLC y no historia principal .
    Si no fuera esté una parte 2 tal vez lo admitiría pero es una parte dos según el título .
    La tercera y última es que los grandes cambios se dan en las primeras 6 horas,para despues sentir que incluso ellie quiere parar ,cosa que se confirma con el final ,donde ella siempre quiso parar y siento como si la historia la obligará a ser así .
    La última cosa que si bien no es malo es que los diseños finales de Ellie,Tommy ,Dina,Abby Son sumamente más llamativos que los que se nos presenta en la mayoría de la campaña .
    En especial Ellie que se nota más madura y seguramente ya en el final cuando vuelve a su hogar abandonado por Dina está debe de estár rondando 21 o 22 años .
    GAMEPLAY
    En este apartado an mejorado muchísimo ,noto como se pulió bastante este juego hasta su último punto ,considero que puede tener una jugabilidad que rivalizar con dishonored 1 y eso es un gran avance .
    Cinemáticas ,sonido ,musica ,ambientación ,gráficos como siempre insuperables .
    Si diera una descripción final diría .
    Se acuerdan cuando el profesor nos pedía 3 hojas de tarea y el matado del salón traía 10 ,pues este es el caso ,El juego tiene lo que pedimos en esas 3 hojas (los flashback y campaña principal de ellie y abby en su final )pero el resto de 6 hojas no están mal pero podrían haber estado mejor para otro trabajo (un DLC )o para otra temática aparte (spin off)
    .
    Sin más que decir espero que la parte 3 si es igual de larga ,sepa hacerlo de lo que se pide en una parte 3 y de ser así que la historia sea igual de emotiva pero porfavor ,un poco menos ácida .
    Un juego que debes de jugar si quieres presenciar los gráficos futuros así como una narrativa buena pero e de advertir que bastante pesada .
    Si eres fan del primero y de verdad lo compre diste ,es un 10 pero acabarás enojado con ellie .
    Si eres casual probablemente te saque de onda hará un 7
    A si que considero que está vez lo mejor es la mitad .
    Será de mis juegos favoritos por acontecimientos personales que los relaciono con la vida jodida de Ellie ,pero que sea uno de mis favoritos no tiene que quitar mi objetividad ,el juego es un 8 de referencia y cada quien sabe si lo baja a 7 o lo sube a 10.

    A good video game either needs truly superlative gameplay to make you want to go through for the challenge's sake, or a great story to make you want trudge through it even if the gameplay isn't that great. Ideally both. But if your gameplay's the usual action-adventure cookie-cutter stuff, and the story absolutely atrocious, the end result isn't going to be any good.

    This could be the greatest game ever made, and I'd still despise it because of the crunch development. That's what's p***ing me off the most about this game, the fact that a horrible, abusive practice went into making it and game journos are letting the man responsible get away with it with no consequences because he's hiding behind progressivism and using it as a defense for his actions. I never would've bought this game, it just never appealed to me, but I'll gladly drag it through the mud for normalizing crunch.

    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.
