    Neil Druckmann ruined this Franchise just to push several agendas.
    Should never work on another game

    Others have more eloquently critiqued the ins and outs of this game than I can, so I'll keep it simple: this game does not deserve the level of hatred and negative reviews it's been getting. I can't think of a more moving story I've experienced, regardless of medium, maybe ever.

I can't think of a more moving story I've experienced, regardless of medium, maybe ever.

    This game is heartbreaking and emotionally taxing on so many levels, and at times is even uncomfortable to play, but every single one of those moments exists to further the narrative, and the story would have suffered if any of those moments had been left on the cutting room floor.

    So many of the critiques of the game that dwell on “plot holes” and decisions that are “inconsistent with X's character” ignore the fact that, y'know, people change, and years have passed since the end of the first game. These are not the same characters we knew.

    The acting in this game is second to none, the music and sound design are great, the visuals are stunning, and, OMG, the rope physics. The amount of care and passion that went into this game is incredibly obvious, and really inspiring.

    Don't pay attention to the vitriol—play the game and form your own opinions.    … Expand

    Thank's ND for ruining so many years of waiting this game! Story is a **** with huge emphasis on feminism! I'm sorry to tell that, but TLOU Part 2 was last game I bought from Naughty Dog!

The story is absolute trash it is told in a convoluted way, the caracteres make the most stupid decisions ever, they totally destroyed everything they made in TLOU 1, forced inclusivity, the way they killed Joel was absolutely disgraceful; Abby was the worst charaxcter im the game and yet half the way is you playing as her, the ending sucked ass.
    The only good partes are the graphics, music, sound design and that they improved the combat a bit, explorarion is good.    … Expand

    From misleading advertisements, to poorly written story telling being chopped up and thrown together in a way thats atrociously confusing.
    The ONLY thing this game had going for them was the beautiful environments and thats why it will get a 1 instead of a zero

    they absolutely destroyed Ellies character, made a sad attempt at trying to make the player feel bad and out of control of their actions when really it was insanely frustrating
    Unnecessary censorship in Ellies relationship with Dina meanwhile Abby and Owen get a whole 5 second long sex scene

    Plot holes out the ass, jumps and cuts with no explanation that just make no sense, I wouldnt recommend this game to anyone save your money and watch a playthrough    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La jugabilidad no esta mala dentro de todo pero hay momentos en los que la inteligencia artificial se ve risible sobre todo cuando vas arrastrandote y ya a las dos horas el juego se torna monotono, graficos geniales, arte muy bueno.

    La historia en si no es mal y sobretodo el final, hay muchas cosas inorganicas como, el echo que dejaran ellie y tommy vivos (raro). Que no hubiera otros doctores para desarrollar la cura me parece ridiculo.
    No logras conectar con abby, tal ves si jugaras desde el principio con ella y vieras su pasado des de el inicio se puediera empatizar mas pero no tiene sentido ya a mitad del juego que me muestres su pasado

    El final el mensaje no esta del todo ma, el ehco de que le arrebatarn a elli otra vez algo que ella anhelaba que era perdonar joel, (en el primero juego fue ser de ayuda para salvar a la humanidad) me parece un mensaje super intreresante, pero el problema es queenunca me mostraste en el desarrollo del personaje de ellie que ella pudiera dejar viva a abby, jamas me mostraste un pensamiento si quiera de compasion para con ella, por eso el final se siente inorganico y forzado , todo para darme un mensja e de que no valio la pena el vijae, que no es un mal mensaje por que es algo interesante y nuevo , pero repito la forma en la que lo hicieron no fue la mejor.
    Hubiera sido mas epico que elli matara a abby y que ella quedar tendida en medio del mar con el cadaver de abby alado viendo que ni la venganza habia valido la pena.

    una pena pudo haber sido mejor quedo con un mensaje y desarrollo a medias.    … Expand

    In Last of Earth 2, the characters from Part 1 are simply tools for story development, and they deny the relationship or everything of the characters from Part 1. In this case, it had to be released as an independent game, not the Last of Earth 2. Also, the way the story unfolds forces players to take only one path, and they said you are wrong. This was very insulting and offensive.

    Apart from right and wrong, the agony and decisions Joel made for Ellie in Part 1 were respectable. Ignoring all of these parts and killing Joel in vain and manipulating Abby, the cause of it, makes me very angry.
    Also, because this game ignored these parts(Character setting and world view), it seems that there is a logical error in the middle of the story and a contradiction in the new character. I don’t know what arts are trying to destroy the Last of us all. If there was respect for the previous work and respect for the fans, the story's outcome would have been unfolded in a different direction in the process, even if it did not change.
    Unlike a movie or a book, users who play games are more actively engaged in the experience of immersing in the character and sharing emotions. Of course, developer may have some freedom in game production, but I don't know what part 2 is for. It feels like it's just to take advantage of fame for Part 1.    … Expand

    Good graphics and 10 year old gameplay can't carry this game when the plot is so infuriatingly bad. This game story is almost as bad as Game of Thrones season 8. That's the best way I can put it. Regret of playing it and the feeling of wasting time should never be this immense when playing a game whose predecessor was considered a masterpiece.

    Amazing game. Definitely don’t get all the hate but to each their own. Hats off to naughty dog and the fantastic actors Ashley, Troy and Laura. Story took me places I had no idea it would take me and kept me on edge if my seat all 27 hours it took for me to beat it. In one weekend. Can’t wait to play it for years to come. Fingers crossed that dlc news isn’t true.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first game was and still is a masterpiece. This second one, is GARBAGE. I was ok with the idea of Joel dying in this game and let Ellie be the protagonist. But, the way they did it, made me nauseous. First, killing in the most disgraceful way the most beloved character of the series and then forcing you to play as his murderer? It's INSANE.
    If they wanted to get rid of Joel, they should at least show us some more of Abby, create some love for the character, make us simpathize with her cause and then get to this point in the story. There is nothing wrong in changing main characters. Take for example The Walking Dead Season 1. The death of Lee was shocking, but was a honorable death. A remarkable moment in the series just to pass the torch on to Clementine to make her own adventure.
    Not only that, but they gave us the most horrible and disgusting sex scene I've ever seen in a video game or any other media. I had to turn my face away from the screen thinking the foul smell in that room. Anime boobs = CENSORED; Abby an Owen f***ing like two dudes in a prison cell = MASTERPIECE; WTF!
    But they saved the best for last. When you finally thinks that the gameplay is going to be worth playing by killing Abby and get the so renowed "revenge", Ellie spares Abby. Not even a choice was given: to kill or not to kill Abby. Ellie ends with her "dad" dead, her friends dead, her girlfriend gone with their baby and two less fingers. And Abby? Abby is fine and dandy leaving with her friend into a new adventure where she can destroy more lives as she did with the characters of this franchise and its fans.

    I played the game to the very end. All of the criticism I have read about the game is accurate. TLOU was the greatest game ever made. I understand making a worthy sequel is difficult. Stunning visuals aren't enough to make a game a masterpiece. This game has absolutely zero replayability. I have never played a game with a perfect rating before that was painful to finish.

    People are mad because of how the narrative is structured. The plot is terrible and overall the message makes no sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not the sequel we deserved...

    After falling in love with Joel and Ellie in the first game, Part 2 introduces us to the unlikable, ugly, and outright evil Abby, who tortures and kills Joel in the beginning of the game. Then the game forces you to play as this unrealistically buff woman as the second protagonist.

    Perfect visuals and highly customizable difficulty and accessibility options of the game do not mitigate the horribly written story with no character development. Ellie and Joel act out of character, which makes this game feel like a stupid fan-fiction, created to convey woke political messages.

    Graphics: 10/10 (amazing graphics)

    Gameplay: 5/10 (nothing innovative. not so different from the first game. forces you to play as Abby.)

    Story: 0/10

    New characters: 1/10

    Overall: 1/10

    Do not spend 60$ on this crap. Rent it or wait for sale, if you're ready to endure the pain that is Abby.    … Expand

You've grown to love the characters and even though it is dark and bleak world.

    As I play this game there are familiarity with the gameplay compared with the first one with extra function which is nice. The visual are top notch, kudos for game visual designers who put numerous hours (like a slave i bet) into building this game world. The sounds and ambiance are simply amazing.

    But not all good games need visual. As a mainly single player gamer i enjoyed a great story telling. The story will drive you to play the game, explore the lore, gain interest on the every corner of the world and everything because of the story. However this game story is trash compared to the first. Petty revenge story? back and forth back and forth with nothing to gain. Just emptiness, I'm a husk of a man now after playing this. I guess the director have achieve his mission to get everybody attention, time and money but to what cost?

    If Naughty Dog firstly make TLOU part 1.5 that can tell "other protagonist" story in depth so that we can love them maybe TLOU part 2 can be pass as well rounded story. But you hardly know the character with a just 10 hours of gameplay?? or actually less then that if you just count characters interaction. That's not enough time for character development and put us on their side.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The producer of LAST 2 has been using "prejudice" for 2 generations.
    One generation Ball; the people who killed the whole game were either bandits or robbers, cannibals, and people who wanted to rape Ellie.
    When she arrived at the hospital, JOE, who had lost her daughter, got her daughter Ellie back. In the current situation; killing to save people.
    Time to go back and take a look at the attitude of the first generation of fireflies in the hospital.
    If Ellie is your daughter, you don’t even have to watch the last one. You even ask your daughter, "Are you really willing?" The fireflies refused to let you ask.
    Just leave a sentence "if you dare to try to do something, shoot you", and then turned to open up Allie's brain.
    In this case, when you are able to save your daughter, will you let your daughter die?
    In the second generation - Director Bai Zuo's writing, JOE was shaped as a demon, and JOE was killed.
    Abi~ She is Aili who kills for hate and then kills for hate,
    Forced to forgive~~
    Abi who killed people for hate~ is forgivable~
    For killing the ball~~ The sin deserves death~
    The script is written by people, whether it is good or bad, it is operated by people. There is no irrational problem. We can only be forced to swallow the writers. The real problem is that the person who wrote the script creates a rational and no position 'S script?

    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]
