    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.

    Absolute garbage. Loved the first game but part two is insulting. It ruined everything that made the first game great and added nothing to replace it.

    The new characters were unlikeable, the new playable character is unable to be sympathised with and the chemistry between existing characters is gone. The plot is lazy, character development almost non-existent and some characters decisions

The plot is lazy, character development almost non-existent and some characters decisions or reactions were nonsensical. Don’t even get me started with the homophobic cult, what a ridiculous direction for the game to take. Of all things that would be an issue in a post apocalyptic world I highly doubt homophobia would rate very highly. I feel stupider for having played this abortion of a title. Naughty dog your game is bad and you should feel bad. I award you zero stars and may god have mercy on your souls.

    The truth is I have a feeling of deep sadness with this game, its technical section is fine, it is according to the demands of the end of the generation, to be honest I do not see many profound changes compared to the 1st, it is not a God of War or a Red Dead that they are masterful but not bad, the point goes for their history, for this political touch and that forced inclusion; In theThe truth is I have a feeling of deep sadness with this game, its technical section is fine, it is according to the demands of the end of the generation, to be honest I do not see many profound changes compared to the 1st, it is not a God of War or a Red Dead that they are masterful but not bad, the point goes for their history, for this political touch and that forced inclusion; In the first we knew everything about Ellie and the truth did not matter, it was natural, Rilley was everything she knew and it was normal for him to love her, here they tell me that the daughter of a character x becomes trans, yes trans in a world in which you suffer to eat a person almost changes their sex, breaking with all the logic of the world, the problem is and is not that character, I have nothing against that community, but if it bothers me when they are used as a propaganda of the PC, the truth is that the game defies its logic, it kills the character we wanted to see; The TLOU was the story of a father to whom the world takes away everything and who later steals something from the world, then knows that his decision condemns him to lose after all, but no, here we throw a pointless argument telling those who We wait this for years, look, we don't care, it is better to have certain groups happy that they are not even going to buy the title but this way we look better; This is why my 0 goes, because the game does not give me anything, just tremendous nausea. When God of War came out or was afraid to see what they had done with Kratos, fatherhood was not for him, now I see that I grew up with him, too bad that TLOU P2 did not grow with us, he just wanted to please those who are not his public unfortunate ...

    La verdad tengo una sensación de tristeza profunda con este juego, su apartado técnico está bien, es acorde a las exigencias de final de generación, para ser honesto no veo muchos cambios profundos respecto a primero, no es un God of War o un Red Dead que sí son magistrales pero no está mal, el punto va por su historia, por este toque político y esa inclusión forzada; en el primero sabíamos todo lo de Ellie y la verdad no importaba, era natural, Rilley era todo lo que ella conocía y era normal que la amara, aquí me dicen que la hija de un personaje x se hace trans, sí trans en un mundo en el que se sufre para comer una persona se cambia casi de sexo rompiendo con toda la lógica del mundo planteado, el problema es y no es ese personaje, no tengo nada en contra de esa comunidad, pero si me molesta cuando se usan como una propaganda de lo PC, la verdad el juego desafía su lógica, mata al personaje que queríamos ver; el TLOU era la historia de un padre al que el mundo le quita todo y que el después le roba algo al mundo, luego sabe que su decisión lo condena a perder después de todo, pero no, aquí tiremos un argumento sin sentido diciéndole a quienes esperamos esto por años, miren, ustedes no nos importan, es mejor tener felices a ciertos grupos que ni van a comprar el titulo pero así nos vemos mejores; es por esto que va mi 0, porque el juego no me da nada, solo unas nauseas tremendas. Cuando God of War sali´´o tenía miedo de ver qué habían hecho con Kratos, la paternidad no era para él, ahora veo que crecí con el, lastima que TLOU P2 no creció con nosotros, solo quiso complacer a quienes ni son su publico, lamentable...

    So:

    Story: I can reduce this to two things, "political statement" and "forced drama". Amazing a game that was characterized by realistic characters with real motivations that felt like real people, went down to cartoon-ish versions of them, with surface level motivations and resolutions. Joel letting himself caught like he did and dying because of it is not only out of character, is almost a joke, and it was a political statement. It only happened to give room to the new characters, which can be compared to a 40s cartoon villain.

    Gameplay: It's literally the first game with some minor additions that barely get used, with some changes being for the worse, like the kill cam.

    Graphics: Once again I'm amazed that this game looks SO bad, SPECIALLY compared to the first game. If you don't believe me, there's a flashback scene to the ending of the first game, compare both scenes and you'll immediately notice how much better the first game looks.

    I don't have much to say about this *production* itself, cause I did not reached the conclusion that it satisfies my minimum condition to call it as a *game*; COMMUNICATION.

    Yup, that is my pathetic conclusion after I got to finish this *production* with tens of hours of my time and money. Where is all of the communication what the creators must do? At least, any of the distributor,

    At least, any of the distributor, developers, and directors should have provided enough information to the potential customers of this game, BEFORE the customers spend their valuable money and time to this *production*, but they did not and completely deceived all. And then? Nothing but self-complacence.

    Come on, they should have and could have, but did not ANYTHING. Ruined not only the *production* itself, but also the trust of the customers. What else I can say more?

    Do not buy this game. I simply don’t understand how it has such a high critic score. The 1st is faultless. This is garbage - a story that is incoherent and completely destroys character arcs. The 1st was defined by its story and character, with the visuals an added bonus. I was hoping this would be go on to be greatest gaming trilogy of all time, that dream is now dead.

    So disappointing. After such a great first game, I was really looking forward to this.

    It was more important to push a narrative than to tell a decent story.

    My advice is to say good money.

    I want my money back, I waited so long for a great story but instead you got an unobtainable revenge, you are forced to play with a character and you know they want you to like it but it won’t happen, your heroes massacred in a nonsense story, great gameplay and music but the story left too much to be desired, THE ENDING IS TERRIBLE!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us pt 1 is my favorite game of all time. I have beaten it 6 times and it has impacted my life immensely. I read the spoilers but I still kept an open mind going into the game. After beating it...I was speechless. The amount of laziness and pure balls the developers have to release the game like this is insane. Te whole plot makes 0 sense and they absolutely destroyed my favorite character of all time. How can they think this was going to make people happy? Not to mention all of the social justice warrior stuff. I didn't care until they shoved it in my face another million times throughout the game. The gameplay was amazing and brutal but the story made me regret wasting 20 hours of my life. Stay away and just watch cutscenes if you can even bare. Such a shame. Expand

    It’s just sad how they treated some of the most lovable characters in all of gaming history, and make us play for most of the game with the character that pretty much humiliated them both.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game...omg this game and the critic reviews are just plain stupid. I’m sorry but this is not a master piece. If it was then the term has gone down hill. Even my husband who I watched play the entire game said it was a 7 just because of the ending, but for me it’s just a zero. The game destroyed everything that the first set up. Deconstructing characters and forcing you to play the character who killed Joel. It’s horrible story structure. The game play cinematography is amazing but the game play gets boring and is just the same as the first. 7 years for the same game play and a story that makes no sense. Characters making decisions that in the real world in a situation like that makes no sense. Traveling to kill someone then let them get away after 100's of people killed. Not to mention nearly killing you and biting your fingers off. What is this story. Seriously. And why was armor only a thing at the end of the game. The WLF faction easily looks like they could have body armor but for some reason some loser gang would have all this armor but not a highly militarized group at war. Makes no sense to me. Just this game. It’s not a 10 maybe a 5 but shill critics needs to review honestly instead of reviewing to stay in favor and get review copies.
    BTW I'm not homophobic since I am married to another male. Not sure how some peoples brains work, but shills are saying every review is homophobic or trans phobic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Los unico positivo es la musica,pero uncluso despues el gameplay se arruina con la historia mediocre que hace presencia en The Last Of Us Parte II.
    Solo alcanze a jugar un poco despues de la muerte del ex-personaje principal llamado Joel Miller,la historia es basura progresista con un mensjae estupido hipocrita e infantil.
    La historia trata de:
    Buscar venganza despuer de que mataron a un ser querido.

    La historia es basica y tonta,despues de atrevasar todo EEUU (De nuevo como en la primer entrega) en busca de venganza asesinando a monton de personas y zombis (Como en la primera entrega,solo que con otro motivo)y ademas,los nuevos personajes son exsesivamente aburridos,pocos interesantes,a tal punto de que te da igual si se mueren.

    Cuando llegamos al final,despues de matar a una cantidad exsesiva de personas (lo caul es poco realista)de repente se les ocurre la idea de que asesinar esta mal, y lo peor de todo es que deja viva a la antoginista escapandose.

    La verdad es una decepcion,yo pondria mi copia de The Last Of Us II en la parrila y me comeria un rico asado usando el disco como combustible

    Espere 6 años para esta entrega y topo con esto.
    Es como jugar Uncharted sin Nathan Drake.
    O un Dragon Ball sin Goku.

    Una cagada desorbitantemente grande.

    How much did Sony pay those reviewers just to focus on the good parts of the game and not on the whole mess Naughty Dog created? How can they call this game a masterpiece, when the gameplay is mediocre at best? The walking dead from Telltale had better action gameplay than this one. And story?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story aims to tell only one story: Revenge is bad. Even from the starting section of the snowball fight, revenge is the main factor. it's such a lazy concept to base an entire story around, especially with an ending as completely dumb as the one forced onto us for the pricetag of $60. Important characters are introduced and forgotten like nothing, such as Manny, Jesse, and Yara. Gameplay is mirroring that of the first last of us, except tediousness takes a center stage. I don't even have to explain how stupid it is to make everyone play as Abby so late into the game.

    It feels rushed, lazy, and boring. All three things I hate in a video game personally. But hey, if you like having beloved characters in a similar game to the first they were introduced in, except with a horrible narrative that I think is fair to say tarnishes the first, then go for it. Waste your money. To me, TLOU doesn't have a sequel.

    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.
