    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Apart of the forced controversy created by ND about their Agenda, the need of an “opene mind” to play and enjoy I must to say that I never mind any more If Joel dies, I Ellie is gay, if Abby is a genetic photosop male with a girl layer mask on his/her face and the graphics are better than ever and so.

    After 15 hours of gameplay at survival mode (I made four runs of the first part at grounded mode) I would be terrible bored playing if this were about Ellie and Joel, the actuals nor the modified, trying to save the babe of Ellie with a non letal vacune on him.

    Naugthy Dog is just the same since Uncharted One, an older, boring, saddist CGI that love to treat bad to the gamers that look for a real deal playing at max. The same boring scenes, or you shot kill everyone or you just get the trigger scape with a fast run.

    TLOU2 is a boring game, with boring plots, nor one of them gets you on the shoes of anyone, you just don’t enjoy any situation. Maybe the Seattle underground was the best for me.

    Easier than the first TLOU this game do not offered to me any kind of interest or motivation to play till the end. It’s terrible long, unnecessary long, but having spend 15 hour to get to the 10% of the story knowing that the next 80% I will be forced to play with Abby, a ramdon NCP which destiny I won’t ever care is a No Man I’m done Sir now!

    This is the worst plot story ever made, supported under weaks fundaments like:
    Joel: Omg I lied to Ellie
    Ellie: He lied to me
    Dina: You lied to me about your immunity
    Jess: You lied to me about you were pregnant
    Ellie: Agree
    Abby: agree but about the ex of my boyfriend

    This is stupid, ridiculous, shilly, lazy, boring.

    But forgetting the plots, the characters, the storytelling, the gameplay is just the older boring Naughty Dogs it's been doing long time ago.

    I forgot it for Uncharted 4 and TLOU 1 because the plot and the characters and their quest and conflict, but thanks to this twists I can say that the big problem is that ND loves to treat very very bad to the gamers and that’s because I rank to 0.

    Forget about this Sony and ND and that God forgive them.

    This game could have been great but it simply isn't, why? here's why:

    1) Using Joel's death as a plot device for the story to develop into a generic revenge story that doesn't even work because you never get to avenge Joel. 2) Using Joel's death for mere shock value early in the game to build up a sense of hate towards Abby. This scene is even used as a jumpscare moment at the final
    This game could have been great but it simply isn't, why? here's why:

    1) Using Joel's death as a plot device for the story to develop into a generic revenge story that doesn't even work because you never get to avenge Joel.

    2) Using Joel's death for mere shock value early in the game to build up a sense of hate towards Abby. This scene is even used as a jumpscare moment at the final stages of the game.

    3) introducing Abby as a villain character for killing Joel after she gets saved by him and then forcing people to sympathize with her actions later on after the deed is done. 4)This entire story feels forced and not believable. How? Because there are countless moments that are not realistic and I'm referring to moments where Abby or other characters should have died but still manage to survive no matter what. Another moment where characters act out of character. If you think Joel's death was realistic then you're also saying that this game is only realistic for specific moments. Because if it wasn't the case then we wouldn't have the same story.

    5) rather than exploring other more interesting areas of the plot like ( Ellie's immunity, Ellie's mom, and how she got to the fireflies, finding out more about the origin of this virus, addressing Joel's lie at the end of the game. *I know that this was barely included but it wasn't enough at all. It was a flashback ffs*etc...) There are lots of directions they could have pursued but instead, we get to explore Ellie's sexuality by adding Dina, which doesn't add anything to the story or its characters. We also got rid of Joel just so we can transform the story into a generic revenge plot with no derivable morals or messages.

    Now, I'm going to propose some ideas that I think could have bettered this "sequel".

    Starting the game with the flashback sequences we got. This way we can see both Ellie and Abby's development. This way, we can understand Abby's decisions and reasoning.
    if the game starts with the flashbacks and have those sequences stretched out a bit then the actual start of this game in winter would be around halfway through the game and then there are some changes you could add like making Abby a more conflicted character by making her question her initial goal ( which is to kill Joel ) after she gets saved by him. This way, Abby becomes a multi-layered character with a complex personality unlike the Robot she is in this game. Still, even if after all that...she kills Joel, then people wouldn't feel shocked about it because they would be expecting it. The entire scene wouldn't be as abrupt or undeserved. They could introduce themes of forgiveness and hope and that would create a perfect emotional balance with the violence and hopelessness of this world. This would also achieve the goal of intriguing players on choosing who is good or bad. After all, isn't that what Neil wanted to achieve with his story. Well... He clearly failed cuz most players wanna destroy Abby and no one else. Finally, I would suggest getting rid of characters like Dina or Jesse. Because while they sometimes brighten the mood a bit, their role is practically non essentially to the plot progression nor for the development or growth of the characters. I would rather make them inflict changes to the story or impact/ influence Ellie in some drastic way causing her to act in a certain way.

    This is unfortunate...
    The last of us is more than this.
    I mean...we went from focusing on the emotional journey and the intimate relationship between Joel and Ellie which developed organically, to this meaninglessly violent story that bears no identity from the original game.
    I could slap a random title on it like" The Bigots Of Us" and I wouldn't even recognize it as a sequel to the first installment XD.
    The original game was special and bittersweet. Whereas, this one is just bitter, meaningless, and incapable of evoking those meaningful and striking story beats that the first game had.

    Man, I could go on and on about how much of a disappointment this is compared to the first one and Don't get me started with how they false advertised this game by replacing Characters and changing models just so they can deceive us into thinking that Joel will be alive at least throughout half of the game lol. And without addressing all the identity politics and feminist ideas that Neil introduced like deciding to create a manly looking female because he feels that female video game characters are sexualized... Anyways, the point is **** this game, and if you like it then good for you but honestly ... the only part that was genuinely enjoyable is the flashback sequences with Ellie and Joel. For me, those moments are a tease for the perfect sequel we deserved but unfortunately will never be able to get unless, by a miracle, this game gets remade.
    Now if you'll excuse me I need to get me some bigot sandwiches if u know what I mean. Peace out.

    the last of us is about joel and ellie their are the last of us without them it just can't be and since joel is dying there is already 1 person gone I thought ok we are now just going to play as ellie for the rest of the game but no you must play as abby that really ruins the whole game why do you play if her plays nothing on anyone cares about her the story is not right you don't feel a click with the characters it seems like some scenes are missing because then ellie sees someone get hung up and cut open and then in the next scene she's flirting with dina come on a little bit apart part 2 should just have been about ellie's uniqueness that was much better than this it's totally ruined and seriously ellie sacrificed so much to abby and then let them go so stupid
    there were a few points that I liked about the game
    1.graffics
    2. the relationship of ellie and dina
    3. the pieces that you will be playing the guitar
    4. characters that sing
    5. gameplay
    just say the story is just not true at all they ruined it by killing joel and it is not running at all gronologically this game could have been much better than this, wondering if part 3 will come and if so what about it because ellie has nothing and nobody more and i think if you dont have play the first game that you would like this because you dont have the conection whit joel and ellie

    Very poor story telling purely for shock factor. Favourite characters became unrecognisable.
    Game is beautiful but it’s easily forgotten as you continue on with a story that becomes more and more unsatisfying to complete.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you read the review with spoilers, then you know that the developers killed Joel in the first hours of the game. With this act, the developers caused a loyal fan of the first part of the game a real pain. Sudden and sharp as a stab. But, as if this were not enough, the developers further force the player to look at how Ellie suffers and morally degrades. This brings the player no less pain, but a long and dull one. Like a toothache. And then the players are forced to play for Joel's killer - Abby. They reveal her as a bad person who is struggling to become good. Perhaps this would be a good move if the players did not have such a strong emotional connection with Ellie and Joel. But there is a connection. Therefore, attempts to humanize Abby in the eyes of the player look like a mockery. After all, in parallel with how Abby morally grows, Ellie sinks to the bottom and does terrible disgusting things. It will devastate you. And I think that the developers sought exactly this effect. But for what? To tell a banal story that revenge is bad. About that which causes only revenge and does not give deliverance.
    This is a commonplace thought, but this does not mean that this cannot be a topic of conversation. Because it is important. However, if you were going to tell the story of revenge in such a cruel way, then you should have given us the story of Abby, which would have hit the player’s heart as deeply as the story of Joel and Ellie. Then a collision between Elli and Abby's foreheads at the end would be appropriate. But instead, the developers tell us something very mediocre ... The story of Abby is the level of one episode in The Walking Dead. It is interesting, but I do not want my favorite characters to die for this ...
    In general, the screenwriter and the director get 3 out of 10 from me.
    Out of respect for the workers who worked on the game for 12 hours a day, I will give the game 7. I would give the employees more, because technically the game is almost excellent. But I can not. This is dishonest in relations with Joel, Ellie and their fans.

    First things first, the story isn’t as bad as the leaks make it out to be. There is a death that is handled somewhat undeserved but that is the only thing story wise that drops this score. The gameplay is very satisfying and melee combat is very gratifying, however brutally realistic to a degree that hasn’t been seen before. Much more smooth and terrifying than the first game.

Halfway through this game my actions that felt justified were questioned as I experienced something quite different from the usual formula, but suits this games messaging. And this is a very graphically advanced game, with believable animation. The exploration was actually interesting and rewarding for those who like to search for extra items and stories. There was a point, however, where the story changes drastically and my work felt like it’s reward was delayed. The supposed LGBT agenda is not pushed whatsoever and only mentioned briefly.

    Overall, the leaks don’t truly show this game’s masterfully crafted world and is definitely worth the time to play. A must buy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Whilst this game has amazing graphics and gameplay the main reason to play these types of games is for the story and the story in TLOUp2 is horrable. It's not because joel died or because of sexuality in game it's because it's not thought out well. My personal biggest complaint is the horrable way the game ended. Why would she feel guilty about killing joel's killer but not feel guilty about killing hundreds of other people who didn't personally hurt her or her family, and the main theme I got from the game is that everything has consequences, how is letting her live her punishment for killing her father figure.
    But if you're looking for a beautiful movie like game then it gets a 10/10

It feels like making every wrong decision, but there was always a glimmer of hope that you'd finally make a right decision and everything would be okay. But that never happens. Playing TLOU2 is like having that one friend you always picked for everything in class. But then one day they decide to pick someone else and you're stuck with the girl who constantly hisses at everyone and talks about wanting to be a wolf. 10/10 would recommend

    This is just... Heartbreaking. In a very, very bad way.

    - What?! Why?! I don't want to, that's a terrible thing to do!
    - But player, you SHOULD. Otherwise you couldn't proceed further in our game! So just do it already.

    The player does it because he literally doesn't have another choice.

    - Awesome, player. Good job. And now... You know what? YOU ARE MONSTER! HOW COULD YOU? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!

    Really Neil. As a member of the LGBTQ community I am appalled that this is what passes for storytelling these days. EVEN I can see the virtue signaling and after the reveal of Ellie being a lesbian in the DLC for the first game I thought we would actually get some sort of inclusive loving moment between her and her lover. No we get this instead: and what did we get? 1/10

    No we get this instead: and what did we get?

    1/10 Gameplay - they didn't change this much from the first game, 7 years later, this really does just feel like chapter 2, not a new game but the same game with more story being told.

    0/10 - Story.... what in the actual...... I am not kidding, the story is a disjointed pandering mess. People need to STOP listening to twitter and STOP listening to Anita. It's time we remove these cancers that are frankly tearing down our communities and the goodwill we have been working on for the last 60 years. Then when you had the actual opportunity to have an inclusive sex scene in the game, you choose to make a slightly rapey straight scene, that was not touching, that was not at all endearing (this is different than something intended for erotic purpose)? LITERALLY WTF were you thinking?

    7/10 - Graphics, literally the only redeeming factor this game has is how good it looks and how smooth the animations are... for the time it took and the progress since, this could have been much better.

    Seriously I want my money back. I should never have bought this game and frankly OFFENDED at the way it treats LGBTQ issues/ellie's relationship. It's an outright INSULT to the LGBTQ community.

    Harvey Milk didn't die for Anita Sarkessian to RUIN the LGBTQ movement's progress with her faux feminist -give me money- agenda.

    Side note: Metacritic keeps erroring out my response here. Are they intentionally blocking low reviews of the game?

I don't feel I need to mention graphics acting sound etc we all know naughty dog are the kings at all that. I'm just gonna dive into how good the game is. The last of us part two had me hating moments of play (only due to the story beats) and I found myself watching and doing things I didn't want to do! The key thing here is that by the end everything wraps up in such a beautiful way and as it sat with me, the more and more I loved it. I loved it so much in fact, I am just about to begin replaying again, just to see everything that happened with literally tonnes of added meaning.

    None of the characters from the first game, especially Joel and Ellie, are diminished in any way, only improved. None of them are done a disservice either, some of you may know what I mean but I don't wanna go into spoilers. The end redeems everything!

    In terms of gameplay I think it's tense, thrilling and engaging. It kept me going through the slower story beats and is a massive improvement on the original. I've seen people saying otherwise and I don't really get why.

    I just want people to play this game and not dismiss it just cos of what others are saying about it. It's a fantastic story that hasn't been told in any form of media before (to my knowledge) and people shouldn't be put off by things they've heard! Give it a go

    This game is really bad, the girl behind the storytelling is throwing personal nonsense into this game and sadly that ruined everything.

    I feel like Neil handed in his erotic fan fiction instead of the real script when he accidentally burned it while smoking his employees' resignation letters. It's clear they were grasping for straws and whipped up some top tier deviant-art writing skills to give any excuse to make this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. tlou2 is a horrible game. The gameplay is good and doesn’t change much compared to the first game. The graphics, music, and locations are great. The story on the other hand is a complete dumpster fire. The characters from the first game act out of character and make bad decisions. And worst of all they force you to play as Abby,(a character you don’t like) for like 1/3 of the game so you feel sympathy for her and it just doesn’t work. You’re forced to be around characters you don’t care about, it drags on for way too long, and ruins the game. There’s no motivation to desperately survive and keep this character you don’t like alive. You have to play as Abby and try to kill Ellie and Tommy which is just stupid. They could’ve ended the flashback once you saw the doctor die. It’s a petty and stupid revenge story with horrible pacing. Plus the ending is trash and unsatisfying. Ellie basically loses everything and the entire journey was all for nothing. I 100% understand the message and what Naughty Dog is trying to tell me, but that doesn’t mean it I like it, and it definitely wasn’t executed well. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Listen gameplay and graphics were good that's the reason why I gave it a 3 and not a 0. But the main issue with the game is how they treated some of the most beloved characters and the story telling in the game. They killed Joel off by the hands of the Abby who I never really connected with. Also not to mention the forced identity politics being shoved down your throat. Dina was one of the worscharacters in the game, she felt like a hindrance and ruin the moment for me when walking in Joel's house. The whole point of this game was revenge and guess what, you don't even get to kill abby at the end. Naughty dog have gone done the star wars route. Great visuals but terrible storyline. I hope we don't get a part 3. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole story felt in the wrong place due to the quick death of Joel. I also didn’t think that I would play half of the game for Abby unknown to me (I couldn’t penetrate this character). And the ending pleasantly surprised and even shocked me, on the one hand it looks like some kind of arthouse, but on the other it’s quite interesting and open to continue ending. But because of Ellie’s last act, I was furious because I thought that I had been playing for 30 hours in vain for such a result. As a result, we have a good game in technical terms, but from the plot side there are very large failures. Therefore, I put the game 7/10. Expand

La IA de los enemigos no es del todo lo que me esperaba y veo demasiados parecidos con el último Uncharted, como el hecho de ir con un acompañante continuamente y que no sea detectable ante los enemigos, lo que provoca situaciones ridículas. Además el hecho de ir acompañado continuamente generan diálogos absurdos y vacíos que lo único que consiguen es desvirtuar la trama, desvirtuar a Ellie y desvirtuar esa ardua venganza.

    Creo que la historia podía haber sido mucho más, pero lo estoy disfrutando como nunca. Juegos así exiten 3-4 en cada generación de consolas y es lo que hay que valorar. Larga vida a LOU y larga vida a Joel.

    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.
