    espere 7 largos años y pues la verdad la muerte de un personaje importante no solo en ese juego, sino también en la industria, fue una muerte horrible y muy dolorosa, aunque no he acabado el juego puedo decir que fue un dolor inmenso y algo que no hubiera imaginado después de la primera gran entrega, sin embargo, el juego no es para nada malo, pero creo que es algo que no concuerda con la misma experiencia del primer juego y nos obliga a actuar como quiere el juego. Otro de los aspectos más innecesarios es jugar con abby, igual que yo como muchos jugadores la queremos ver muerta por lo que hizo a Joel y no jugar con ella y sentir empatia, sinceramente una estupidez. agradezco a naughty do, que se bien que el desarrollo de un juego no es fácil, pero es algo que no me esperaba y mucho menos de esta desarrolladora, para destacar es una jugabilidad muy buena y hermosos gráficos, pero con todo el dolor que me causó la muerte de joel creo que me llevo un sabor agridulce, espero que si llegan a sacar una tercera parte para la siguiente generación, lo hagan de mejor manera.    … Expand

    Who wrote the story? How did you take YEARS to do that? Such genius graphics and gameplay got ruined by such a **** storyline.

    - Weak story so far
    - Characters aren't that interesting
    - Emotional feelings like the first TLOU ... sadly a nope.
    Just remember the insane start of the game.

Also they advertised the main characters wrong on purpose in the trailer to bait the fans and hide the main plot of the game (which is in a way understandable)
    There are a lot of people saying its sjw **** for gay people and feminists. Personally i dont care about anyone's sexuality or gender or etc as long as it doesnt hurt the story itself. Sadly this game treated the well established characters like being gay or trans is the biggest thing or "skill" they have and the most important.(for a long time those things were in focus) which for me hurt the story. The gameplay is a bit repetative but its really brutal, fluid, enjoyable and the graphics are beautiful.    … Expand

    Story: This is where this game fails hard. The first game succeeded on the story and characters. They destroyed the characters that we grew to love from TLOU and didn't do anything to fill that void. The problem this game has is that it mistakes good writing with dark/edgy writing. Killing a character isn't automatically good just because it's dark. Having characters we know are smart act like idiots to put them in a dark place isn't good writing, it's contrived at best.

    Lastly, the actions of Sony and Naughty Dog have been both unethical and illegal in response to the leaks. We also learned about the horrible work environment that abuses employees at ND.

    So the gameplay is boring, the story is terrible, and the people that made the game are horrid. I don't see any reason to buy this game.    … Expand

    Arrogant director. Arrogant critics.
    What is the value of criticism that is not sympathized by the public?
    Why can't critics empathize with people's anger? You just say the users are savage. Why does the director make us hate, not move us? Do you think people are really upset with the LGBT factor? Now LOU2 is a nonexistent game. Even if it does, it will be treated as a fan-made work    Arrogant director. Arrogant critics.

    Accessibility is phenomenal, AI in game has improved since TLOU 1. Poor rating is due to their poor writing, narrative is just horrible. When players begin to not want to play your game, you know you messed up greatly. In this case, players were invested in the characters of Joel and Ellie cause TLOU1 storyline was A+. But this game, they tried to be unexpected and it ended up backfiring.Accessibility is phenomenal, AI in game has improved since TLOU 1.

    I have no words. After the final, there was a desire to throw away the game disc. It was as if I had been spit in the face. It's disgusting. There were so many expectations, and I, as a big fan of the first part, got THIS.

To be sure, the graphics are really high quality and the setting can't be beat, but that's about where the positives end for me.

A game like this is all about the story, and this story is incredibly disjointed and droll. There's a twist very early in the game that had no business existing, and by the time I finally turned it off at about 10 hours into the game, it felt like I had just paid 60 dollars to listen to be preached at by a George Floyd rioter. It feels like this story was written by somebody from an AI on another planet that had aggregated all the movies of the last 25 years and then attempted to write a script based off of it without ever actually experiencing life. I don't know, I can't quite put my finger on it, but between the plotline that seems designed to try and make you feel like a bad person, the identity politics that serves to remind you you can't even escape them in entertainment in 2020, and the poor mechanical aspects, and the absolutely crazy story line, all I felt was bad about myself for wasting 60 dollars.… Expand

    There is just too much to say...of course i had high expectations. Always defended Naughty Dog and considered it one of the few game companies left to live and fight for their fans, with memorable classic and new franchises for everyone to enjoy, from Crash Bandicoot to Just Cause and so on...TLOU in particolar hooked me instantly with the deep bond between Joel and Ellie, served on a story worth an oscar.

    Then Neil Druckmann came, and ruined EVERYTHING...whatever you loved about the first episode, here it's been devoured, digested and shat out of this clown's ass and elevated as a masterpiece or "future of gaming" from washed up game devs, critics and sjw baffoons.
    Bare in mind, i've nothing against lgbtq+xalphabet people, but throwing a bunch of incomplete, unlikable characters and scripts in a goddamn videogame, to appeal to a bunch of angry little people with minority complex....you gotta be joking.
    This trend of shaming anything that's white, straight, or male for the sake of it, has to stop, REALLY.
    On top of this, the horrible attempt of a storytelling, full of plotholes, hollow new characters, and an ending to make you shiver from anger, disappointment and frustration.
    There's no way anyone in a healthy state of mind would consider THIS anything but an ABOMINATION and an INSULT to everyone that supported the franchise and the whole company and gaming industry all over these years.

    So disappointing... Been looking forward to this ever since the first game, but Naughty Dog really dropped the ball. While graphics and game play have improved, the story has been all but ruined, and i feel like the returning characters aren't even the same people. Without spoiling, the new characters are terrible and uninspired, and tbh the ending is garbage. Do not buy this game.

    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.
