    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel bullied by this game, disrespected as a fierce fan of the first TLOU. How could they spit on the characters we know and love in order to push some crappy woke agenda down our throats? The game looks decent from a technical point of view, but the story and the treatment of the characters make it nothing but a fresh masterfully polished turd.… Expand

    The First TLOU had a great story and characters which felt real and relatable even. Even though the game play and combat was not great, it did not matter because we loved the characters and their development and relationships. This games abandoned all that for nothing really. A real disappointment and a shame really.

    Most negative comments come from two types of people : those who haven't finished the game and those who have never done the DLC of 1 and criticize the gameplay or the story when in reality, they are just too much homophobic to be able to appreciate this masterpiece at its true value. Thanks Naughty Dog for this unbelievable experience!

    Just really, really bad. The narrative, if it can really be called that, is so jarring and unintuitive as it sucks you away from the momentum and action with poorly utilized flashbacks with no real impact or purpose. I can't say enough how disappointed I am to have waited so long for this sequel. What a shame.

    There's so much wrong with this game.

    Aside from PC, there is no story probability and the play itself is boring to force justification. It's a game for producers and critics to brainwash other gamers with the idea of having moral superiority, not for gamers.

I never review anything, but I feel like I would’ve been better off just flushing $60 down the toilet. If you’re looking for a satisfying ending, look elsewhere because this one makes no sense. Yes, you become the better man, er woman after the main villain eats your fingers and you think about guitars. You don’t want revenge after you tell the main villain you will kill her as she kills Joel in front of you. You just want to play guitar with your eight fingers. I’m not joking, that’s the end scene.… Expand

    Terrible story full of plot holes, boring generic revenge plot. Characters are all unlikeable and make stupid decisions that make no sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BAD WRITING! BAD WRITING! BAD WRITING! The story talks down to its audience. I would love a great story with LGBTQ characters. Instead they gave us an experience similar to the worst seasons of Walking Dead. They confused a dark story with a profound experience. If you thought JOKER would be a great sequel to Cormic McCarthy's the ROAD this is the game for you. Additionally, this game shamelessly used TWO pregnant women and a dog as props to display violence. Why?… Expand

    In the end, it doesn't matter if the graphics are a little better, the game play, and mechanics, etc. because the sole story of this crap COMPLETELY ruins the experience.

    Joel didn't deserve this. The FANS didn't deserve this.

    Character consistency has disappeared, ending is unfulfilling and lacklustre. Same gameplay as before with some additions which is nothing special and will get stale. Beautiful graphics and score with great animation. But all in all a narrative driven game with a weak narrative really isn't that good of a game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, graphics and the SFX in this game are the things that I can't say bad things about, I guess...
    The game just free kill Joel, THE character of the game for a bad revenge. Imagine have a daughter and someone tries to kill her, you just kill this someone who has a daughter too and that daughter somehow discovery the location about your brother in the middle of an apocalypse 4 years later and kills you for just save your **** daughter. The game begins with this, and keep the entire story over this, that for me, isn't a good reason, come on, Joel just killed her father because him tried to kill Ellie. Btw, there’s strange moments in the end of the game, well, how the **** Tommy is alive? Man, you have a pregnant woman that was spanked and another one woman who was spanked too and has a broken arm to take a man who got a **** shot in the head to cross kilometers in a way with elevations and holes and probably enemies, how the **** they did that? Btw again, Tommy seems that just got alive to give a trash reason to keep the game on, "I know the Abby's location, come there and kill her! Have your revenge", man... just stay died and finish this trash game and know what? She just doesn't do it in the end because of “circle of revenge” isn't cool. When some important character dies, I really hope that be worth but in this game this doesn't happened and it’s so sad, so **** sad the chat between Ellie and Joel in the end of the game a thing that makes me think that if Abby doesn’t exists the game could be so better. Ellie's reaction about the truth, actually a little piece of the truth, is so exaggerated. Really that you probably stay away from Joel for 2 year because that? You made a show with this? Wow, cool.
    Another point is, the gameplay is so repetitive, we do the same things in entire game, explore, kill some infected that aren't so much mechanics to do that, is almost the same thing ever, and the humans that doesn't make any **** difference between then.
    The soundtrack is good, but nothing memorable. The SFX are perfect, is so good with everything, I guess. When you are upgrading your guns, you can see how good the SFX is in this game.
    The Animation is another good point, without the bugs, the face reactions are really realistic, the grass and the looting animation too.
    Overall, the few good things about this game aren't worth over the bad story, and that is it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account here just to give my opinion on this game. I see nothing but hate for having to play as Abby and people giving low scores because a beloved character was killed within hours of starting the game. That one scene should not warrant a low score! Everything about this game is phenomenal. The graphics, the music, the tension and the emotional roller coaster it took me on will never leave my mind. This story in this game kept me awake at night thinking about what is going to happen next or finding reasoning why a character did the things they did. The writers and directors clearly had a vision for this game and what transcended was an experience that not even a movie could make me feel. Seeing the story unfold from two different perspectives and seeing the two main characters juggle the same issues was awesome. Do yourself a favor and play this game and do not listen to all the crybabys badging the game! Life is not always rainbows. Bad things happen to innocent, good people everyday. This game is a masterpiece! Play it!… Expand

    Its game has a lot of problems and the biggest problem is the first last of us. The first part has a good story, nice graphics, and interesting gameplay. I'm not a fan of is first part, but it was good and I waited for the second part and...It's this is the disappointment of the year. I believe that game is 4-5 points from 10, but the developers have created so much hatred around the game.

    Anyone giving any game 100 or 10 are not to be trusted. There is no such thing as a perfect video game. That said, TLOU2 has a lot going for it. It is beautifully rendered, the level design is excellent, and the gameplay is about what one would expect from a ND game.

It is beautifully rendered, the level design is excellent, and the gameplay is about what one would expect from a ND game. We have certainly seen this combat system before, and it is as adequate as it ever was. Where it utterly fails is in the narrative and the character development. Trying to make Abby at all sympathetic is like putting lipstick on a pig, and making the player play as her for so much of the game following her brutal murder of Joel is insulting. Ultimately it is a preachy sermon on multiple hot button topics that I could have done without. I certainly don't need a game designer to lecture me about social tolerance and the futility of revenge in a game that requires one's characters to kill many scores of people. While I won't spoil it, the ending is without doubt one of the most insulting and intellectually dishonest things I have seen written into a video game. So the upshot is this. If you are the kind of gamer who only cares about graphics and gameplay characteristics, this is a good game for you. But if you expect a good story in a narrative driven game, then my advice would be to give this game a hard pass.… Expand

    No respect shown either for main characters either for series fans. Poor writing killed the game, strong emotions were achieved by a very cheap moves and overall logic was absent. Second part of the game is quite simply a torture, just like the ending.

    The Last of Us 1 was practically a perfect game; beautiful graphics, captivating gameplay, flawed yet lovable and relatable characters, and many small moments that just made you fall in love with the game over and over again.

    The Last of Us 2 has taken everything that made their first game so lovable, and quite literally killed it with a golf club.

    The story and development is thrown out the window and replaced with an inconsistent and unlikeable SJW wet dream filled with depression. In a failed attempt to be inclusive and preach a positive message, the game instead perpetuates the very same racist and sexist themes it is trying to demonize.

    You cannot say that your game is “inclusive” and “promotes equality” when the most “privileged” characters become the most likely to die at any given moment despite their relevance to the plot while the “least privileged” are given insane levels of plot armour and are not seen as “evil” or “flawed” no matter what they do.

    This game absolutely fails at telling a likeable or relatable story that has a valid purpose or message; which is the main purpose of most single-player games such as this in the first place...    … Expand

    Sin duda uno de los juegos de la generación. Como era de esperarse a nivel sonido, ambientación y gameplay es uno de los mejores juegos de PS4.

    La historia es super interesante, intensa y contada de una manera bastante original. Claramente no será del agrado de todos, ya que se aleja muchísimo del fan service y de los lugares seguros (En mi caso agradezco que así sea)
    El único punto flojo del juego es que dentro de las 30 horas que dura, en algunos momentos (muy pocos igualmente) pierde ritmo cuando hace que el personaje vaya de un punto A a un punto B. Esto se podría haber resumido en una cinemática (como hacía TLOU1) Sin embargo, suma por el lado de sentir que la historia día a día está ocurriendo en tiempo real.
    Es un juego que recomiendo no perderse ya que cierra la generación actual con un nivel altísimo.

    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...
