    The graphics is nice, its polished. I'll give you that.

    Other than those, its a complete drag playing the game over the point of simplistic story of trying to get you travel from A to B and repeat. The worst part is, it tries to play with your emotions with the developers thinking they are doing it great. It sucks. Its sad to see that naughty dog is ruining their own brand by trying

    Don't fix something that is not broken.

    This Game is by far one of the best games in the last 10 years. The characters are so good and lovely.

    This is the worst game that this company has ever made, a boring story with a boring character, the graphics are good, of course, and the physics are good too, but everything else is too bad

    El juego no supera las espectativas que generó, se suponìa una historia de venganza pero finalmente no fue nada de eso, el primero triunfó por su historia, este tiene buena jugabilidad y gráficas pero terminó decepcionando.

    It's not what i was waiting for. I know that my expectations are my problems. But I love the first game it had a great story. And second game just does not have that. So I do understandt that game looks great and thank you for great work Naughty Dog team for that. But Who Who done this to story i love. Why? Why?

    Despite the early leaks I still went into this game hoping that Naught Dog didn't completely break what I loved about the first game; turns out I was bitterly disappointed.

Everything I loved about TLoU was butchered beyond belief (all within the first three or so hours), and the amount of hard-left political grandstanding was extremely immersion breaking. It's like the devs completely forgot what made TLoU special and interesting in the first place - although, I'm led to believe that this complete change in tone and direction was, unfortunately, intentional. The first game had nuance and characters which made you invested in the story, but there's none of that to be found in the sequel.

    It should be noted that the presentation is excellent. The artists at ND are absolute wizards at environmental art, and they are to be commended for that, but the gameplay doesn't improve greatly and it plays almost identically to the first game. Aside some minor traversal mechanics which honestly add nothing but padding, ND haven't improved or iterated in any meaningful ways.

    Overall I'm bitterly disappointed with TLoU2. The best part about the original was the relationship between Joel and Ellie, and both of those things are gone. What's replaced those characters are thoroughly unlikable shells which serve nothing more than to push a horribly written narrative, full of explotiation and plot holes. I refunded this game after completing it in roughly 26 hours, and now I'm writing this.

    Do yourself (and the industry) a favour and skip it. Watch some reviews. Read the millions of comments. Caveat emptor.

    The first time (out of control): is the director a fool? I just want to kill Abby. Don't wash her white. I don't care what penis she has. You have to force me to control this **** **** Are you ****
    The second time (calm down): Abby, it's really miserable. I know why you didn't kill Ellie. Although the hatred of killing her father was so unforgettable, when you killed Joel at the beginning, you finally said that you didn't want to be like them (Joel). And you know the fact that Ellie is immune. Isn't it his father's ultimate wish to end this plague? But I still can't accept that Ellie doesn't kill you. Don't ask why, I just don't accept !

    The third time (wake up): tlous2 is so amazing that it is undoubtedly one of the most competitive games in 2020. At the same time, it is also the only game in which all chaotic emotions can be truly injected into the hearts and minds of players with the development of human beings. It is more real than the body feeling game of Wii and the experience brought by VR and AR. my spirit has collapsed and my price is high The values have also collapsed. I can't tell who is right and who is wrong. I only know that the last survivors have lost everything around them. The only reason they live is that they are so lucky. In front of nature, human beings are so unbearable that they will not repent. No one is the winner. And Abby and ally finally let go of each other may represent a very small number of people in that environment Still keep that trace of human nature of the survivors Isn't this the experience of the end of the world?

Naughty Dog did a great job with the graphics, but the plot isn't very well thought out, in some moments you want to scream:"What the hell is this?!". But I liked the ending and the last few hours, because there was no need to run around the location for three hours and collect rags and bottles. Expand

    Simply a masterpiece in gaming that pushes the medium to new heights. An unforgettable experience. This game is masterful in its storytelling, technical achievement, smooth gameplay, and art direction. Most of all this game did something that no other art form could do to this extent when it comes to building empathy for another human being. Hats off to the Naughty Dog team!

    I loved this game... until I didn't.

    The Last of Us 2 does a lot of things right. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is improved from the first game (particularly through the options you are given to get around the "battlefield"). I enjoyed the music and the game leaves plenty of optional collectibles/letters/pictures etc that you can rummage for to help immerse yourself in the game

    The Last of Us 2 does a lot of things right. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is improved from the first game (particularly through the options you are given to get around the "battlefield"). I enjoyed the music and the game leaves plenty of optional collectibles/letters/pictures etc that you can rummage for to help immerse yourself in the game world if you choose, with the usual level of detail you can expect from Naughty Dog.

    Here is the part where I explain why the heck I gave the game such a low score when it has all of this going for it.

    The thing about Metacritic User Reviews is that they are, in general, based on the user's overall experience with the game. Many serious critics will grade different sections of a game individually and then average them out, but we aren't getting paid, we can just say how we "felt" about a game. Just like a game doesn't have to be absolutely flawless to be given a 10, a low score doesn't necessarily mean the game was an unplayable mess either.

    Which brings me to the story. **** I will try to avoid major spoilers, but obviously you will pick up a bit here or there so this is a heads up*****

    For the first half of the game you play as Ellie, who is trying to get revenge on a group of people who have wronged her. Like in the first game, you are typically working with an AI companion (there are a couple who join her at various points). On the whole this worked well. The characters and dialogue were pretty interesting and you had a clear goal to work towards while you mow down zombies and bandits etc.

    Just as you are nearing the end of your journey, and the payoff you had been building towards, the game pulls the rug out from under you and makes a complete U-turn.

    Suddenly the clock is rolled back to the beginning, but this time you are Abby, a member of a rebel group called the WLF, and one of the antagonists Ellie is after. This change-up lets you see the story from the "bad-guys" perspective, helping you understand what was going on behind the scenes while you were playing as Ellie. It also goes on for WAY. TOO. LONG.

    I feel like the developers gambled a bit here. How well the game lands for you seems to depend almost entirely upon how you feel about Abby, because like it or not, you are stuck with her for half the game. Unfortunately for me - I did not.

    Abby is a supremely unlikable character to start, and the game doesn't really evolve her character enough to get over it. Sure her goals are understandable, but that doesn't make her intriguing, it just makes her not crazy. Billed as her group's "top killer" she lives up to that rep throughout her arc, murdering just about anything she comes across and callously chuckling to herself at the misfortune of others when she reads through those depressing collectible notes left behind by unfortunate zombie victims.

    Eventually Abby does something nice for someone, out of guilt, but it really isn't nearly enough to wipe away the awfulness she started with and certainly wasn't enough to get me on her side over Ellie, who we've spent 1.5 games (plus DLC!) getting to know.

    The end result is a whole half of a rather long game that is an absolute slog to get through. My desperate need for closure kept me playing to finally see the ending the game had been holding hostage on me, but I wasn't enjoying myself.

    I love story driven games and I enjoy when they make me "feel" things. I don't believe games need to be happy all the time to be a good story. My issue was, I wasn't really feeling much at all besides boredom. I just wanted Abby's part to be over. If there had been a button prompt that gave me the option of skipping the gameplay entirely to just zip through Abby's cut-scenes I would have taken it. The game literally put me to sleep at one point, in the middle of the day, and it was such a stark contrast to the first half of the game, where I didn't want to put my controller down to stop the ride.

    Ultimately this is why I ranked it so low. This game made me miserable for roughly 20 hours to the point where I was mostly playing out of stubbornness. What good are those wonderful graphics, the work and detail put in, if in the end, I'd rather NOT be playing the game?

    This doesn't mean You personally won't like the game, but I certainly can't recommend it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have already finish The game and I really enjoy it, it’s something different because you don’t expect a lot of things that happens in here like Joel’s dead or like Ellie don’t kill Abby but at the end you understand the message that the game gives to you, maybe it’s a cliche but that leaves you saying, damn Ellie lost everything because she don’t leave the idea to take revenge until she understands that the best it’s to leave everything that happened before because Joel’s not coming back, we appreciate him because we knew him for a while but he is not a good guy, the things he do (that we understand why he do it) takes him at the end and return to him as Abby that kill him. What I’m saying it’s that the game is really good the matter with the people it’s that they don’t understand the whole story and the meaning of it. For me it’s one of my favorite game that I have played in my whole life. Expand

    The gameplay was decent.
    The story was an absolute joke that made me with I had never bothered with this piece of trash. My girlfriend and I played through the first one together and loved it. But by the end of this game we were both in awe of how mind numbingly boring it was. This was 20+ hours of garbage drama.

    New woke story, on the same old engine. I’m truly sorry I bought the new game, could have just played the old one all over again and had a better gaming experience.

    Playing games is about feeling like you can be one of the characters. Recognition of self. Feeling for the characters. I have no issues with gay people, interracial sex, middle east religions or any of it. Its just too far

The whole idea of playing 10+ hours for the person you're gonna hate from the beginning and having to kill dozens of people just to spare the worst person in the end is complete nonsense, and even worse is that so it's badly told nonsense.

    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.
