Review-bombing is the reason I'll never take user scores seriously. While no game is above criticism,leaving a review of a game that you will never play is beyond me.

    This game does have some minor pacing issues, but nothing that pulled me out of the game. Overall this game is a must-play if you consider yourself a fan of story-driven games

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first entry to the series was incredible. However, the sequel didn’t even come close to the bar it set. This game is littered with political propaganda that doesn’t fit the narrative that was originally laid out in the first game. To find out that a character we played as for a majority of the first entry, isn’t even playable... just to be replaced by a flat out unlikable character, feels incredibly disappointing. The visuals don’t mean anything if the plot is this mishandled by a company that once put themselves at the top of storytelling. Shame on the writers of this pile of trash. Expand

Spoilers... te faz se sentir hipócrita vc fica puto com a vingança da abby quando mata o Joel ( ela vingou o pai dela ) porem apoiamos a Ellie a se vingar da abby por matar o Joel. e o final mostra como ela cresceu percebendo que a Vingança não traria nada a ela na verdade tiro dela, finalizou o game sozinha perdeu tudo. mostra bem como só se da valor quando perde, passou o inicio todo brava com o joel quando ele morreu, percebeu a falta que ele fez, e no final tinha a família dela com a dina e o bebe, abriu mão para fazer a vingança e quando percebeu já era tarde de mais e perdeu tudo novamente, ou seja só damos valor quando já é tarde de mais . historia incrível jogo que te quebra. uma otima historia na qual ninguém estava pronto Expand

    Nice Graphics. Other than that you butchered the story from Last Of Us 1. The characters you made us love and fight for in TLOU1 were massacred for the sake of Neil Druckmann and Anita Sarkeesian trying to go all woke in their very poorly written story. You guys killed the franchise now. I hope you are happy. You butchered the main character. Enjoy your dumpster fire.

    Could’ve been more so much more. It was so lackluster compared to the first one. No emotional ties to anyone. I actually think every character irritated me at least twice in this game. Disappointed

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Al principio pense en solo ponerle un 5 o 6 pero decidi no darle importancia a la historia en si y solo sentrarme en el gameplay, y la verdad por lo menos esta entretenido pero su final da esa sensacion de que todo por lo que pasaste fue por nada digo si por un lado la trama no es solo la venganza de ellie, pero por el otro te lo van dice y dice cada 5 minutos que para al final te digan que "no, la venganza mata el alma y la envenena" no entonces para que? Pero el gameplay esta entretenido por eso un 7 la historia un poco floja y al inicio toma mucho "poder" sobre la sexualidad de ellie en lugar de hacerlo como en el dlc del uno que eso sea algo aparte que se sienta como una subtrama pero siento que te lo ponen en la cara los primeros 30 minutos.

El Juego no es una obra maestra, ya que por el lado de los personajes, hay cosas que sobraban como por ejemplo: el exceso de inclusión. Ademas de que el Personaje de Ellie, el cual en el primer juego fue escrito y llevado a cabo de una manera espectacular, pierde un poco de calidad pero aun así sigue siendo bueno. Los personajes secundarios no son el otro mundo (unos con mas desarrollo que otros) pero los que destacan, lo hacen de buena manera.

    En verdad, es un juego muy duro y adulto que obviamente a cada uno le puede gustar mas o menos en ciertos aspectos (dependiendo de uno mismo) pero de un lado objetivo y innegablemente es uno de esos juego con una produccion y acabado totalmente extraordinario que se ven cada ciertos largos años pero que lamentablemente no merece el odio sin sentido que recibió.

    El juego no es malo, unos gráficos espectaculares, unas físicas casi perfectas y todo esto junto y más, forman un realismo que da miedo, pero si hablamos de la historia deja mucho que desear, plantean momentos incoherentes, un desorden en la trama y errores inaceptables. Sinceramente, comparado con el primer juego es una vergüenza narrativa que deja mucho que desear a los jugadores.

    The game has horrific graphics and some decent, but repetitive action gameplay. Sadly the game is largely held back by very poor writing direction that seems intended to be annoying rather than interesting. So it has achieved its goal: it has annoyed me. I've played thru the game and immediately traded it for a better game, would not buy if I knew how bad this was.

I dont know why people were so unfair to this game, was it because Ellie is a lesbian? She was already since the first game and why is that a problem? I dont get it.

    I can't come up with another reason for the review bombs other than political fanatism. You guys really think this is about libtard agenda? Lol grow up you incels.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я так ждал выхода этой игры, что дал себе обещание не нарваться на спойлеры, но сдержать увы не смог, и на то были причины, но называть я их не буду. Игра мне понравилась, очень, и знайте - мне плевать на эту ЛГБТ пропаганду. Наоборот, я к ней отношусь положительно, хоть я в ней и не состою. По поводу Джоэла - да, это было больно, больно было его отпускать. Но к этому я был практически готов, потому что в одном из первых трейлеров была теория что Джоэл умрёт. К Эбби вопросов нет. Сами понимаете, за что она убила его, и тут я её полностью понимаю. Про то, что она накаченная, я промолчу. К самой игре у меня притензий практически нету. Но почему же стоит оценка девять спросите вы? За то, что я не сдержал свое слово. Скажу сразу - я не покупал игру, и мне не заносили, как другим обзорщикам и критикам, денег. Я только честного мнения, человек. Мне нравятся игры с сюжетом где присутствует драма, весёлые и позитивные моменты с героями, ведь некоторые люди в играх хотят лишь одного - стрелять. Кто то скажет что я уже испортил себе впечатление, но от спойлеров мне не стало хуже. Я их для себя воспринимаю по другому. По поводу оценки даже если бы я купил бы игру, оценка не повысилась бы, так как все равно есть притензии. Я надеюсь, что когда кто то прочитает моё мнение об игре, его оценка поменяется в положительную сторону. Ведь люди должны понимать, сколько денег, нерв, терпения, и отсутствия личной жизни было потрачено, чтобы сделать для нас это творение. Поэтому как следует, подумайте пожалуйста. Expand

Pues la verdad el juego si es bueno, no entiendo el odio hacia el juego por haber matado a Joel, el mismo juego te muestra como todos pueden morir en cualquier momento, no mereces una muerte especial, y por parte de Abby, su parte de la historia te cuenta como ella vivió lo que vivió Ellie, además el final si ed bueno, pues por culpa de Joel es que Ellie no le encuentra sentido a su vida y por eso lo pierde todo, por tratar de encontrarle un sentido a la vida en la venganza Expand

    Amazing follow up to the original title, the story was great and multiple viewpoints added to the depth. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and the final acts really hit hard. I understand some of the criticism but none of it deserves negative scores it has. It takes a bit of critical thinking and extrapolation on the players part but it is an amazing story and narrative.

    Everything is excellent, except for the story. Secondary characters uninterested. The first game was incredible, the relationship between Joel and Elie was absolutely amazing. This game has none of that. The story is too ambitious. Conclusion ; the story is miserable

I felt grief, anger, sadness, and confusion all within my 20 or so hour run of the game. I applaud Naughty Dog for telling such a risky story and for actually getting me to sympathize with a character I thought I’d always hate. I personally loved this game and i can easily say that it’s one of my favorite games of all time. Expand

    I think we don't have to talk about graphics or gameplay, which both were great. TLOU2 was a roller coaster of emotions and I never experienced such feelings in any game before. That's the thing making it a masterpiece.

    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]
