    Storyline is awful. Neil Druckmann made no sense of it and the game was devoted purely to political correctness more than a likable plot. Shame on him.

    I don't now why the game received so much hate.
    It's a masterpiece!
    The story is an exceptional journey similar to the early season of Game of Thrones.
    The graphics is gorgeous and the gameplay is visceral!

    Very challenging, heart-breaking, and gut-wrenching story coupled with viscera, desperate and brutal gameplay. It continues the story of Part I with honesty and sincerity. This game is very bleak and will often make you feel miserable, but there is a bright spot at the endd.

    Last of Us 2 is a beautiful game whose potential was squandered by poor narrative design. Ignore complaints about LGBTQ matters, or who dies when, or ‘agenda-pushing’. That is all nonsense that distracts from the fundamental flaws of this game which are:

    Pacing. (Severely padded gameplay, slow pace with nothing to show for your time and sudden complete halts.) Order of events. (This game
    Last of Us 2 is a beautiful game whose potential was squandered by poor narrative design. Ignore complaints about LGBTQ matters, or who dies when, or ‘agenda-pushing’. That is all nonsense that distracts from the fundamental flaws of this game which are:

    Pacing. (Severely padded gameplay, slow pace with nothing to show for your time and sudden complete halts.)

    Order of events. (This game often shows scenes or has you play events out of order and suffers for it. It manages to spoil itself within twenty minutes of starting the game and interrupts high-tension moments with many hours of past events that no longer matter.) Character development. (Or lack thereof. They come close to it for one character, briefly, but it rings false (and is called out as such by another character) due to that character otherwise always presenting as self-centred, callous and ruthless. Other characters start at Point A and never leave it or change in any way. Characters in general do not learn from their mistakes, big or small. Some characters have sudden, unexplained personality shifts.)

    Chemistry. (There is none. This likely due to all of the above factors. A couple who come close are let down by bizarrely awkward lines and sudden topic changes, as though a clumsy editor cut whole chunks of conversation out. The main ‘romance’ starts at the beginning of the game and tries to sell us that they totally love each other, because... they just got together. Frustratingly, only a few minor changes could have fixed this.)

    Plot. (The story is simple and that isn’t always a negative thing. But, when the story is simple, sub-plots become critical. This game really only has one sub-plot, towards the end (which was well done). The lack of it throughout most of the rest of the game makes the (beautiful) world around you seem empty and pointless. The simple main story is laughably predictable (when it doesn’t spoil itself outright) and utterly fails to engage.)


    Ultimately, this game is boring. Don’t bother buying it. Find some poor fan who is giving their copy away and try to just enjoy pretty skyboxes and passable stealth combat mechanics.

    Отличная игра, по сравнению с первой частью стала более гибкой и нелинейной. В целом графика на высоте. Присутствуют несколько визуальных багов, но это не сказывается на геймплее.

    Velice odvážné pojetí příběhu plného ran osudu a osobních tragédií.
    Výborně propracovanou grafikou a rozmanitými lokacemi, vykresluje konec civilizace 2013, kterou rozprášila nezvládnutá pandemie, kde mezi lidmi neplatí žádné zákony a vše závisí na vlastních hodnotách o které můžete snadno přijít.
    Suroviny jsou omezené, člověk musí používat cokoliv co je po ruce, aby se ubránil a přežil. Proto, důkladné prohledávání prostředí je důležitou součástí včetně volby nejlepší taktiky pro zdolání nepřátel.
    Velice naturalistické vyobrazení násilí a interakce s nepřáteli, věrně dokresluje surovost tohoto světa, které musí přeživší čelit. Úžasné herecké výkony pro animaci postav, jejich mimiku a hlas, člověka naprosto pohltí.
    Postavy jsou propracované do posledního detailu a hráč se s nimi seznamuje až do konce hry. Vyprávění je systematické, přesto jedno dohrání většinou nestačí k objevení všech detailů příběhu a pochopení postav, které hra nabízí. TloU Part2 je adekvátní pokračování, oblíbeného prvního dílu, který již příběhově dospěl, podobně jako postava Ellie, která začíná žít svůj vlastní život a hledá své místo pod sluncem...

    El juego realmente me ha decepcionado, y aun varios días después de su lanzamiento no me quito de la cabeza la insultante trama que han hecho. Además de una publicidad previa engañosa con " la continuación de la historia de Ellie y Joel" , que todos sabemos que de eso no tiene nada, han hecho una trama traicionando a la saga ya que a las dos hora desaparece dicha oportunidad de volver a juntar a la pareja más querida, con un giro en la trama insultante, sin sentido, y sacado de la manga. Para colmo, que el personaje de Manny ( la representación de Neil Druckman, ya que se le parece muchísimo demasiado) escupa a Joel, me parece un insulto y un desprecio hacia los fans. Luego, el personaje de Abby, un personaje que por culpa de la mala estructuración de la trama se te hace imposible conectar con ella, tenemos que controlarla durante casi medio juego, lo cual después de lo que ha hecho se hace muy tedioso. También, despues de matar a tantos seraphitas con Abby y formar pareja con Lev, nos damos cuenta que intentan darle una figura cómo la de Joel y Ellie dando a entender que es un intento de asemejanza para los fans, aunque consigue todo lo contrario y acaba siendo insultante. Por otro lado, además de hacernos ver a Joel cómo un ser malo y despreciable durante casi todo el juego y a Ellie como una loca sanguinaria, hacia el final del juego nos hacen pegarle una paliza a Ellie a manos de Abby después de haber matado a Jesse y a Tommy ( al menos eso pensamos en ese momento) haciendo que nos den ganas de tirar el mando contra la tele. Y por último , la aparición forzada de la nada de Tommy para incitar a Ellie a vengarse y la conclusión de los hechos , dejando a entender además otra vez, que Joel era malo y que nunca dejó decidir a Ellie ( los luciérnagas tampoco la dejaron decidir, pero bueno...el mal guión) hace que el final te dejé con un muy mal de sabor de boca y que junto a la excelente y melancólica banda sonora de Gustavo Santa Olalla te cuestiones, porque han hecho esto ? Porque han tomado esta dirección de juego ? Porque han jodido así a un personaje y a una saga... Porque ? Al menos los flashbaks de Ellie , el Gameplay y la BSO hacen algo pasable el juego sin embargo me es imposible dar un aprobado , porque en este juego no buscaba Gameplay , buscaba historia y ojalá que Naughty recapacite de tanta queja hay de este juego y haga algo al respecto....

Fantastic sound design, thrilling gameplay at times (not too innovative but they refined what worked in the first game), great soundtrack, wonderful graphics and animations. Also big props to the programmers and game designers for creating these many different approach options in enemy encounters. BUT The Last Of Us is a story-driven game and therefore the focus of this review should be on story too. The new title also claims to be a sequel to the well beloved first installment, but I have to disagree. This is not a sequel. This is a big fat middlefinger to the first game and everyone who loved it. Where the first game was about overcoming grief as a father and finally finding someone to love and care for again, therefore ultimately the relationship between Joel and Ellie, the second one takes all these wonderful things and completely throws them out the window to tell a tale we've all heard a hundred times if not more. Whoever these characters are supposed to be, they're not the protagonists of the former game. Not the characters we were all so excited to meet again after waiting 7 years for it. These are just empty vessels, puppets pulled by Neil Druckmann, who completely ran this game into the wall blinded by his "incredible revenge story "vision. I had to force myself to play through I'd say 60% of the sequences in this game. There were some slivers of greatness but they were drowned out by the overall dulling down of the character's senses (people who were rather smart both logically and emotionally before, act like highschool teenagers in classic 80s horror movies now), the absolutely confusing derivation of the many many timelines, the reasoning behind the writer's decision making is very hard to follow. My understanding is the wanted to tell a very profound revenge story. But they way they went at this, I would not call this a story at all and certainly not a worthy successor to the first Last Of Us. I had high hopes for this, I ignored the leaks and ducked the spoilers thinking "Only douchebags would leak and spoil like that.." and now after having to force myself to play through the epilogue I realized, someone wanted to warn us of this absolute pile of garbage that is being marketed as a masterpiece. Don't trust the bought reviews. Expand

Its absolutely not a game for everyone, and in fact I can understand so many players finding it hard to enjoy or sit with. The closest i can book piece of fiction i could compare it to would the works of author cormac mccarthy, primarily the road or no country for old men. In terms of film, the nightingale. Its a beautiful piece of art that not only depicts the bare face of human depravity and barbarism, but it also shows the resilience to find hope in the despair integral of the human condition.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 3/10 Why? Back in 2013 when I finished TLOU I thought to myself: This Game needs no Sequel! Then a sequel was announced and I thought: Ok, this just can't go wrong. In the following years I avoided any trailers, articles, friends gossips, you name it. I'm glad I did, because if I hadn't, I'd be even more pissed.
    I'm not gonna write another review since there are plenty and I think that everyone who loved Part 1 for it's brilliant narrative can understand my disappoinment. I think it's a shame that so much potential has been wasted.

I think it's also a story about hope and survival. The writers did an amazing job on the storytelling (except I would have liked Abby's part of the game to be not as poorly written).
    Game play: 9/10 - Amazing except for the few rare bugs here and there
    Graphics: 10/10 - The graphics in The Last of Us 2 are just amazing. The attention to detail has never been this good in any video game (just my opinion).
    Music: 10/10 - The music for The Last of Us 2 was also incredible, and I feel like it set a very high standard for video game music to come.
    Overall: 9/10 - This is due to some bits of the writing that I thought too much was put into (in some cases, lack of thereof), and also the rare bugs and glitches here and there.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account just for this game because it needs some love. The Last Of Us Part 2 is one of the most ambitious games of all time. It’s uncomfortable to play in all the best ways. It's a tale about wrath, forgiveness, hate and how emotions can cause people to lash out in anger. Ironic considering the backlash this game has garnered. The plot focuses on Ellie as she seeks vengeance against a girl named Abby after witnessing someone close to her murdered. We witness her go through everyone responsible. Then, after an altercation with Abby, developer Naughty Dog, throws a massive curveball. You now have to play as her! We discover Abby’s reasons for what she did and play through her attempts to regain some humanity. Right off the bat let’s address the big, massive, humongous elephant in the room. Playing as Abby after killing a beloved character is difficult. You want nothing more than for Ellie to put a bullet between her eyes. Yet Naughty Dog managed to get me to Empathise with her. Showing that a heroic act for someone can be a villainous act for another. For instance there’s this mission with a sniper. If you’ve played any third person shooter you know the deal. You can’t fire back, all you can do is get closer to them. They attract infected and make you take a ton of damage. You instinctively start to despise this sniper. However when you confront them. You realise it’s actually a character you like. It’s details like this that make The Last Of Us Part 2 special. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the worst pieces of trash masquerading as a game I've ever played, and proof VG critics are complete shills. Either political or purchased, their reviews were clearly bought. The discrepancy between "journalists" and players should tell you something. And it's not good. Speaking of, the only thing this game has going for it are the graphics, which are gorgeous. Literally everything else is terrible.
    First off, the gameplay is exactly the same from 2013, despite multiple delays. I mean, you can now jump, but only when the game deems appropriate. I hope you like a lot of cut scenes with button timing events, because there are plenty.
    The characters make terrible decisions and are replaced by someone I could not care less for. Forget the SJW crapfest, Abbey is poorly written and a 10 minute backstory doesn't make up for the slaughter of a beloved character and the ruination of another.
    That leads to the worst part of this abomination: the story. I can't clearly describe the amount of plot holes, bad lines, and horrific story writing in this glorified movie of a game. You will cringe and yell "you gotta be kidding me!" time after time after time. Characters, especially Ellie, act completely different. For example, she goes on a revenge-fueled killing spree, only to give-up at the end and let the man/girl who killed Joel go. In fact, she helps her escape. What??
    Just kidding. The absolute worst part is the graphic sex scene between Abbey & Owen, complete with bent over back dooring. It is just terrible and adds nothing more than unbelievable gratuitous shock value. And if you're wondering. Owen is Neil Druckmann without a beard. I just cannot make this up.
    Make no mistake, if you loved the first game, this will leave you with the worst aftertaste. Neil Druckmann ruined this game with his ridiculous agendas & needs blacklisted from the industry. It is truly that bad. And Sony, what the hell were you thinking? You should have stepped in and stopped the madness way before it went this far.

It’s quite obvious when you read reviews that a lot of people (meaning: men) have trouble with the plot. That’s no surprise since most of the games out there are designed to appeal to a cliché-version of the masculine view on the world. Quite frankly: that’s exactly what makes most games out there so lame. Their lack of capability in finding new stories to tell with different (shocker: female/queer/trans) characters. TLOUII finally tells a different, diverse story. Play this game with an open mind. You will be rewarded with an emotional ride that might leave you on the verge of tears, as it did me. Finally, I appreciate very much that in this post-apocalyptic world the most vicious, gruesome and violent acts are not committed by the infected but - as is true for the world we live in now - by human beings. I find that a very honest view on the world. Expand

However, saying it is a political statement and it did not match the trail is stupid. Obviously they aren't going to tell you Joel dies that's makes no sense, but if you couldn't figure that out for yourself then i worry for you. But like i said, it's just an opinion, everyone has one. If we all just calmed down and stop taking everything seriously that would be fantastic. And that goes for everything.

    That being said, I really enjoyed and it is a shame how much hate it got but at the end of the day it doesn't really mater. The game play was fun and that's really the only thing that matters, because if there is no game play then it's a movie. Anyway have a good day friends and remember you only live once, so lets try and enjoy life yeah?

    If you like to play games to see good stories, DON'T PLAY THIS THING (not even game), because this is a mediocre and superficial history, with bad character writting and they force you to like some horrible people (I'm talking about the stupid muscular monster).
    And the characters of the first game doesn't exist in this.

    Why had Joel to be killed in such a cruel way? Remember: A single father who lost his daughter and did everything he could to save Ellie. Again: What is ND trying to tell me by executing the respected main character in such a sickening way?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me parece increíble lo que llevo jugado. No sé si tendré que cambiar la nota cuando acabe la historia pero lo visto hasta ahora es asombroso, tanto gráficos como jugabilidad.

    SPOILERS A PARTIR DE AQUÍ

    Respecto a la historia tengo que decir que es realmente buena y que han escogido un hilo muy bueno del que tirar y que además no está explotado. El primero terminó de forma redonda. Joel, un padre que perdió a su hija, antepuso la salvación de la humanidad a una segunda oportunidad que le dio la vida de tener a una niña a la que cuidar y recuperar ese rol de padre incomparable con otra cosa. Final empatico y redondo. Pero en esta segunda entrega nos muestran cómo esa decisión que tomó, afectó a muchas personas, personas tan buenas y nobles como pudieran ser Joel y Ellie, personas que perdieron a padres y amigos por una decisión egoísta al fin y al cabo. Es algo que rara vez nos muestran los videojuegos, donde, por norma general, matamos a "los malos" para conseguir nuestro fin y terminar con un final bueno para nosotros.
    Para mi es como ya he dicho, una historia muy acertada.
    Respecto a la sexualidad de los personajes y toda la polémica que ha levantado, yo lo dejo en un segundo plano, primero porque no tiene importancia y segundo porque su relevancia no es trascendental al lado de lo que quiere transmitir la historia que nos cuentan.

    Toda esa historia que nos cuentan ademas lo hacen con una jugabilidad brillante, con muchos momentos espectaculares, gráficos que alcanzan el techo de la Ps4 y un apartado sonoro impecable y una banda sonora muy cuidada.

    No creo en los juegos perfectos pero esta claro que esto debe de ser algo parecido a la perfección.
