    Naughty Dog lied to us. The final game is very different from the E3 2019 trailer. This is unforgivable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers. This game is probably one of the worst stories I have ever experienced. Honestly I am so disappointed with naughty dog and I just wish this game never existed in the first place. First of all, there was absolutely no need for a sequel because the game should have just ended with Ellie and Joel arriving at Jackson. If they really wanted to make a sequel then they should have just made a DLC where they don't kill Joel like its nothing and make a completely new character which shows up out of nowhere. The thing that makes the game so bad isn't just the fact that they killed Joel but the fact that they made Ellie dislike him because he tried to save a childs life. Why would you make her dislike him when shes too young to even decide for herself? Whats even worse is that naughty dog puts 8 hours of gameplay with Abby, the character that shouldn't have even existed and that is utterly despised for murdering Joel. I find this part truly disgusting because they tried to make us have sympathy for her? Why the **** would you do that naughty dog? This part of the game just makes me hate her more and makes me feel 0 sympathy towards her. I honestly wish someone questioned Neil Druckmann when he was making up this story, if he was actually sane at the time of creating the storyline. Lastly I beg you not to play this game if you wish to continue liking the last of us franchise because the sequel ruined it for me. Thank you naughty dog for ruining a game that was amazing.… Expand

    Sorry but the storyline is in relation to Part 1 .. not the same. Its so random in some corners. The feeling of Part 1 was a few times more intense and im sorry that i must say, that im not Happy with the existence of Part 2. If Part 1 stands alone, it would be a way better story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 is a perfect example of an overly cocky studio trying to be woke.

    I at first thought their take on violence was very intuitive and new,but after completing the game I have to say that in theory it is great but poor in execution.

    Because of their grueling take on violence the entire game is just grey and dark and frankly not fun to play.

    The first game was the same but what drove you and gave you hope was the father daughter relationship of Joel and Ellie.

    That very relationship that drove and was the silver lining midst the horrible world of The Last of Us,was stripped away from us in the first two hours of the game.

    The real problem was the way they did it.

    Spitting on Joel´s corpse just seemed like Naughty dog were angry at the character and just wanted him gone.

    Then even worse you NEED to spend at least 10 hours playing as Abby,Joel`s murderer.

    You are supposed to understand and sympathize with her because Joel was the "real" monster.

    She killed him after he saved her.

    Not to mention how stupid they made Joel and Tommy,in the first game they were both super cautious and could spot an ambush from a mile away,and now when they are older and wiser they just gave out their real names to complete strangers.

    Throughout the game Ellie kills every person that was in the room when Joel was killed EXCEPT THE ACTUAL PERSON THAT DID THE KILLING.

    The writing is sloppy at best,character motives are non existent and it is JUST A BAD STORY.

    Now the game play is great,the music,the level building the graphics all beautiful.

    Most journalists are trying to pin the hate of this game to gamers being ant-trans or anti-LGBTQ when that could not be further from the truth.

    Look at The Last Of Us:Left behind DLC or at Life is Strange.

    Fans simply feel betrayed, the thing that made the first game so good, destroyed in the first two hours of the game.

    RIP The Last Of Us,you deserved better.    … Expand

    I always thought there shouldn't be a sequel. This one lacks respect for the first TLoU as it's far worse than I imagined. My main gripe is with the story, the attempt to try out a sympathy project at the expense of a beloved character, setting off a pointless revenge plot with a bleak theme and tone for the game was uncalled for and unnecessary. The flashbacks were worth the purchase butI always thought there shouldn't be a sequel. This one lacks respect for the first TLoU as it's far worse than I imagined.

The flashbacks were worth the purchase but they angered me more as to what had happened. It also proved to me that TLoU is nothing without the father daughter dynamic that Joel and Ellie shared. As for the sympathy project, I see how they tried to reflect the first TLoU through Abby's story but it felt cheap and the revenge plot was triggered by such forced and lazy writing that I was literally left shocked and in disbelief. Ellie's story in the sequel was hollow like her character with one hundredth of the charm of her prequel self. Abby's story was better and I would've enjoyed it had this been another game. Humans are tribal beings and cannot be expected to feel the same way for every group. The ending was pathetic for not allowing options since a second play through could've made me choose differently even though I doubt it. This sympathy project bites off more than it can chew.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este juego se merece el 4,7 que tiene. Nunca vi una secuela con una historia tan pretenciosa como lo es esta, es una lástima por el departamento de arte, banda sonora, programadores y gameplay, porque todo su esfuerzo cae en saco roto. También es vergonzoso y ridículo la manipulación de la prensa antes y después del lanzamiento, vendiendo el juego como la segunda venida de Cristo y descalificando a los inconformes con la historia (independientemente de la sexualidad de los personajes) como "homofobicos" (Ej: Alvaro Castellano)
    El argumento general que plantea Tlou 2 es bueno (no original, pero bueno), y es ejecutado de forma desastrosa y carente de sentido, reemplazando el realismo por el gore en donde se nota demasiado las conveniencias que el guión toma para que ocurran las cosas.
    Comienzo a enumerar los puntos que me desconforman:
    1) La manipulación de ND: Vendieron el Videojuego diciendo que solo jugaríamos con Ellie, donde Joel lo acompañaría en la travesía, luego la censura y el Cruch, si queres dar un mensaje de empatía y perdon, sugiero que empieces con tus propios trabajadores.
    2) La muerte de Joel: Medio internet ya explico lo absurda y conveniente que es la muerte de este personaje, es conveniente, vagamente escrita, y un truco barato y de lo más vomitivo que vi hacer a cualquier personaje principal, solo para que pueda avanzar la historia
    3) La inclusión LGBT: A NADIE LE IMPORTA, TODOS SABÍAMOS QUE ELLIE ERA LESBIANA DESDE EL PRIMER JUEGO, DEJEN DE TAPAR NUESTRA INCONFORMIDAD CON LA ESCUSA BARATA DE "SON HOMOFOBICOS"
    5) 10 hs con Abby: Neil Druckmann gana el premio a la forma menos original de tratar de hacernos empatizar con un personaje, forzado es poco.
    4) El final: Sumamente contradictorio, sin sentido y manipulador... pero no pienso perder mi tiempo con eso, solo voy a dejar en claro el mensaje del juego:
    -El mensaje Segun Neil Druckmann: "La venganza es mala"
    -El mensaje real: Abby completa su venganza (en una escena vomitiva) y todo le sale a pedir de boca, termina como un personaje redimido, nunca aprende de sus errores y al final es perdonada para marcharse con la única persona que quiere más que a nada. Ellie no se venga porque... flashback de 3 segundos y... todo perdonado, además pierde sus dedos, su motivo para luchar y vivir, toda su gente, todo el esfuerzo fue en vano (siendo que mato a una embarazada y cientos de personas, además de torturar, osea, en el primer juego mato a una persona a machetazos). MENSAJE: "Vengarse es bueno, asegúrate de no dejar a nadie vivo mi rey", PATÉTICO.
    Todos mis mas grandes respetos a los departamentos de ND por su magistral trabajo, excepto para el departamento de guión.    … Expand

    The game has good gameplay, graphics and details. However, it has the worst story and ending in any video game, and even in source of entertainment media.
    If you loved anything about part 1, this game destroyed entirely.

    The Last of us Part 2 delivered excellent gameplay, great graphics, mechanics and phenomenal gunplay. However, the storyline was an absolute mess. - They killed off our favorite character and forced us to use the character that killed off Joel and we were supposed to connect to Abbey throughout half of the game and the main character isn't even Ellie. We want NaughtyDog to remake the gameThe Last of us Part 2 delivered excellent gameplay, great graphics, mechanics and phenomenal gunplay.

We want NaughtyDog to remake the game with the scenes they provided at every trailer with Joel and not rudely model swap him from flashbacks, we need a remake for the story or at least a DLC with a different ending. This was a massive disrespect for every fan of The Last of us franchise that had to wait an entire 7 years for the sequel. We deserve better than this, we paid 60$ and we are entitled to make a change.… Expand

    This is definitely the worst story that I have ever seen. It broke my heart when seeing Joel being killed that way. He could die but should die for something more meaningful!!!
    And whats more, I couldn't bear a single minute to use Abby to play.

    Awful writing by Neil in every way. To make it all even worse a politically correct agenda is forced upon the player. I don't think the writing could have been any worse. I'm actually disgusted. People have been waiting for 7 years for this game. You're also forced to play as Abby for 10 hours, a very unlikable, character, which I didn't even bother with and sold my game when I realized this.

    Character Inconsistencies, Cheap shocks, and Coincidences, and generally bad writing. The worst story I have seen in Video games. Gameplay Graphics and Sound is mostly good, but do you really want bad writing in a story-driven game? 5/10. Save your 60 bucks for Ghosts of Tsushima.

    I really try it, i wanted that this game was my favorite game of all time, but i could not.
    The point of the Last Of Us was the relationship of the main characters, find hope in despair, find the light in the darkness.
    But the whole story was about a pointless revenge, that goes no where.
    This story destroys all the characters, and the worse part is that also destroy the player.
    And the game do this in exchange for nothing.

    It lets you just to rotten just were you are.

    This game is emotionally draining, after 36 long hours i could finished it, but i definitely not gonna play it never again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is what happens when you put themes and hidden meanings above the plot; you get a bad story. This is a byproduct of a developer thinking of themselves as an “artist” and that everything they do is “art”. The story is terrible and it ruins the legacy of the first game, just because Druckmann had to stroke his giant ego because he thinks no one loves the characters as much as he does, which is arrogant and insulting to the fans. The execution of Joel’s death was the most pathetic, shock value writing I have ever witnessed even though I was expecting Joel to die. Every character is utterly bland and uninteresting. Naughty Dog sacrificed the character development of Ellie and Dina for Abby and her friends, who everyone hates. Playing as Abby feels like a forced attempt to make us like her, an irredeemable character. Everyone bought this game because they thought they would be playing as Ellie and it would be her story. If I had known half the game would be Abby’s, I would not have bought the game. I don’t know why a game company would sabotage their own game like this. I would rate it more than a 0 because of the graphics and sound quality, but in 2020, every game has great graphics and sound design. What made The Last of Us II the most anticipated game of the generation was the story, which it hopelessly failed to tell.… Expand

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
