Characters act completly opposite of their nature as shown in the previous installment. Please do your self a favor and dont buy this trash. Save your money and pay someone to kick you in the groin instead. It would be far more satisfying.… Expand

    Part 2 was supposed to be my shining beacon of light in an otherwise dismal and depressing year. No matter how bad it got, I thought I could rely on this game to bring me some measure of solace. Frankly, it was one of the few things that kept me going. So you can imagine how crushed I am by the senseless, cruel and ultimately meaningless story.

Over the course of the game he reluctantly rediscovers that fatherly love again in another young girl who possibly holds the key to the cure that he now needs to protect and escort. Without spoiling anything (as if that’s possible anymore) this new sequel is nothing more than a grotesque politically driven satire of the current liberal world view. A forced mean spirited shock drama influenced by the worst of the SJW agenda. Don’t let the gleaming media “critic” scores fool you this games average is grossly inflated.… Expand

    No me llego a convencer del todo la historia del juego, creo que pudo tener un mejor giro. En los aspectos visuales y técnicos son muy buenos, pero debieron mejorar en los personajes y cómo iban evolucionando a lo largo de la historia.

    Ah another game once again taken away from it's core to appease the minority.

    Forced emotions and a forced narrative. My heart was not in this one when Joel didn't even feel like Joel anymore.

    Ah yes, looked forward to this game for a while and what I received was horrid.

    You know that something is awry when you play the game just for completion sake and to get it off your to-do-list so you can un-install it and make a ticket asking Sony to remove it from library..and they can keep the money too.

    This is just an insult to the fans of the original. I'm sad and disappointed.

    The graphics are fantastic! Animation is fantastic! Everything EXCEPT for the story and writing is fantastic... There are so many things wrong with this game storytelling wise, that explaining why I feel that way..would be exhausting. I also dont want to be labled as a bigot, because apparently if you dislike this game you are one.

    El juego en cuanto a jugabilidad esta bien pero en cuanto a historia es un asco, matar a joel esta bien se acepta aunque duela pero despues de eso el juego es todo malo para Ellie y todos los de Jackson ademas el final es horrible mejor no hubieran sacado el juego, las partes con Abby son aburridisimas, no dan ganas de jugar con ella, lo unico bueno son los infectados

    Trash game , Trash company ,I was a huge fan of naughty and the last of us but it breaks my heart to see what they made of Joel, it’s not even the fact that he died but the way in which he died, why not kill joel by the end of the game in an epic way trying to save or help ellie but no

Que maten de la manera cruel en que asesinan, tras torturarlo vilmente, al protagonista, me ha dejado hecho puré, mas aun al tener que controlar a su asesina durante el juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is a game that does a good job at improving the gameplay and visuals over its predecesor...but it's narrative brings it down to a poorly executed pretentious product...that underestimates the intelligence of its audience and is (seemingly) not aware of its own hipocrisssy. Just to give a perspective, the balance between narrative and gameplay in this game can be divided like this: 30% pure combat gameplay, 30% exploration and basic gameplay, and 40% narrative driven sequences. So, having that much narrative makes this game rely a bit too much in its story to move things forward. You feel like you wanna see what happens next, and in that sense the narrative sequences become kind of a reward for the player. Given this, is very hard to judge the game as a whole without the story. And it's a shame that the story in itself suffers from the pretentious intentios behind it. There are pacing issues, there are plotholes, there are badly hidden plot devices and stuff that may (an will) pull you out of the experience. It's hard to get into details without spoiling the game but let me say that you have 2 main protagonists, and the intention of the creators to give a message that is stronger than their skills to build a believable story around it. You have main characters treated like plot devices, you have circumstances that are way too fortuituos to be real, many forced situations just to serve the writers intentions behind them. In most cases it just doesn't work well enough to make it believable. There's a 2nd character that you'll be forced to use for half the game, and they try so hard to make her appealing that it also can put you off the experience. But the worst thing is the epilogue...a forced, hilariously long and convoluted epilogue that does more to lessen the overall ecperience than enrich it. The ending must be one of the pointless things I have ever played and watched in my life. It leaves you empty, and wondering what was the point of even doing this game. To me is not a bad game/experience, but is for sure not a good one. Is just a "meh". Maybe it's worst for those who loved the first one and it's characters. On a final note, just say that there are many subliminal and also on your face messages that will remind you of that so called "secret agenda" form Neil Druckman, and it also can pull you off the experience. From religious statements, to forcing certain type of characters, to making all white males die or be useless or dumb, and a long list that I felt does not add to this review. To me is an experience to have just if you get the game in a very good sale.… Expand

Here are my pros and cons PROS from a gameplay perspective this does eveything right and improves on the first game Gunplay Sound Graphics Animations Exploration Upgrading Music combat Puzzles Boss fights /set peices All this is next level stuff and is awesome to see, even character dialogue and cutscenes are well done So whats the issue? THE CON The last of us is a narrative driven game and sadly the story goes from "okay ill take it" to bad to ultimately worse. Seriously whoever wrote this its just not good with very few likable characters and a loss of direction. Ellie is on the cover of the game and you only play as her for like half of it. Its not the follow up to Joel and Ellies adventure. Its Ellie and other characters who I could care less about with a loss of purpose as the story goes on. Honestly pretty disappointed with how dumb it turned out. Maybe if you didn't play the first game you might like the story buy comparatively its not even in the same league. If you asked me 10 hrs into the game I would have given it a 9, 20hrs in an 8 and then after the conclusion its a 7. Final thoughts Congrats on the team for making and amazing "gameplay experience" that is unmatched Shame on the group of people that decide this was a story even worth considering and then actually sticking with it… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The combat is probably the most decent part of the game. Shoot then melee, that kinda deal. Not bad, not groundbreaking but it works.
    The stealth is phoned in, it's obvious where you can and should use it and the enemy helps you with it. It's a slog.
    The problem comes with the pacing: it goes from boring nothing to intense action back to boring talking then more action. It's back and forth, there is no build-up. It doesn't feel like it's a quite replayable title, it is no Resident Evil 4, you may want to skip chapters entirely.
    The story is what it is, you know the deal, you heard the spoilers.
    The character they push on you is never at any point likable, and I'm not even sure if that was their point. It never feels like a deuteragonist or anti-hero, it just feels like an annoying boss character modded into the game as protagonist..
    I don't know who would in their right mind care for a sequel just to see what happens to her.
    They added the "Lev" angle to get you to like her, and as a "duo" mirror to Ellie and Dina, but while Lev is okay, Abby is not. She has also very questionable moral value when it comes to gratitude and revenge, her gratitude is adjustable. Lev saved you so Lev is cool, torturing to death a man that just saved your life is also ok, or killing a pregnant woman because another pregnant woman was accidentally killed in self-defense, that's no likeable character.

    For a game pushed for its storytelling ability the dialogues are rough and sometimes juvenile, the pacing is awful, the characters often act out of character just to keep the plot going, all the way to the very epilogue.

    The plot also tries to play off Joel as "guilty" of something. Make no mistake: Ellie would've died for no reason, there was never going to be a cure in TLOU1.

    You have to feel sorry for Ellie, not just Joel, the plot is incredibly stupid just so she can be on the short end of the stick at the end. She's left with nothing for no reason, and I don't mean in a "life is unfair" way, I mean "the plot will go full stupid just so she is left with nothing".

    I pity people trying to enable writing like this.

    tl;dr if you have to, get it for the gameplay, but expect to suffer through lots and lots of bad dialogue and contrived drama that often makes no sense just to play the game.    … 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]
