    This game doesn’t makes justice for the masterpiece that the first game is. This is the worst sequence ever.

    This is a Complex and Neuanced Game not everyone will appreciate. But it is definitely not a disservice to the TLOU Franchise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most people hate the game because they killed a main character and that's just life. Imagine a post apocalyptic world that has gone to hell for years now, you'll do anything to survive. Joels death isn't undignifying, it's a death. Everybody's fighting to survive and will do anything to do so. This is just a game trying to be real, not fun. GOT finale killed the main main character and that made sense, same as Joel, he tried to save a girl, the girl wanted to kill him, they were running from a horde and had nowhere to go. Feels like everyone is butthurt because undignifying deaths for big characters but this is a game trying to be real. That's why you have both perspectives in the story. Everything is a moral grey area, characters aren't good or evil, they're just human. They don't care you've liked a character for X hours of gameplay, characters just see a threat and won't event think of giving a "good death" to someone who ruined their life. Everything about the game is great, graphics, gameplay, acting. Also everyone complains about not being enough Joel in the game but everyone keep forgetting it's a sequel and not a standalone game. We've had a complete game to see Joel' and Ellie's relationship. Both Abby and Ellie do terrible things for different proposes, but each one is right in it's own way. A lot of people complain about being forced to play as Abby and that's the point of it. You're Ellie and you're killing dogs and people to find who killed Joel but she doesn't know what life is to this characters, until Abby's story. It gives you a bitter taste of everything Ellie has done through the first 10 hours of the game. It's a distopya where everyone is selfish and searching for the best for them. There's no hero to our story, we're just screwed up people trying to get by. Maybe some play games to feel good and joyful and that's why games like Mario exist. This is trying to reflect society and how the moral of humanity has changed because of how badly the world is doing. We don't play TLOU2 to be a hero, we play it to be a person. Maybe the first part seemed to be a hero story but in the end you just see everyone is flawed and selfish at some point. Joel sacrificed the entire human race for Ellie, and of course this had to have consequences. They live in a world where making a mistake will most certainly kill you. That's why you don't run through a door, let anyone live... But we're human, most characters experience happiness throughout the story because that's just what life is, ups and downs. You'll have to kill dogs, women, families to get by, but that never will mean you can't have a laugh in the middle of the storm. There'll always be a human part that feels empathy and compassion, that believes humanity might not be so bad after all, and that's why they let people go. No character has a strong enough morality to always be doing the right thing, everyone tries to protect what matters to them, no matter what. Aside from this, the agenda argument is just stupid. Being gay isn't a character defying trait. We were introduced to Ellie being gay on the dlc. No trans characters unnecessarily placed on the story. Most people started talking badly about the game after Joel's death but it's nonsensical to expect everything going right in this world we've seen our characters live in. Honestly a whole game revolving around fan service would just be boring to play. Everything expected just happens, but that's why we loved the first one, it totally ignores the hero trope and shows us a real Joel, doing wrong things for his loved ones, ignoring the cost of it. With all of this said, I've found the last cutscenes to be really ambiguous and not conclusive in anyway, the main revenge plot concluded, but Ellie's life just ends up as a mystery. Not really angry about it, but I would have liked to get a more concise conclusion to Ellie's life, not just her revenge story. Leaks ruined most of the game, but I can say it's definitely worth playing and experiencing it for yourself. It won't be wasted money in any way… Expand

    The game is a whirlwind of emotions and thought provoking on a level i have simply never experienced. I finished it a week ago and I'm still constantly thinking about it. It’s my favorite gameplay, some of the best graphics i’ve ever seen, unforgettable performances by the actors, and incredible soundtrack. This is a masterpiece.

The game is a work of art, it's not because it didn't end the way you wanted it to be bad, Ellie is so obsessed with revenge that in the end she can't even play the guitar, something Joel taught her, and it was already said that the game was going to be heavy and it was more than OBVIOUS that Joel was going to die.… Expand

    It breaks my heart to write this, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting. While there were a few genuinely good moments, majority of game filled up with plot holes. It just took elements of what worked for the first game without understanding what made them compelling.

While there were a few genuinely good moments, majority of game filled up with plot holes. It just took elements of what worked for the first game without understanding what made them compelling. It seems like this game was done by other studio, but its not!!. The basic gameplay has stayed the same (for better or worse), environment puzzles are almost gone. So remove story from the table and you are left with the shallow gameplay that will have you looking for some other game

    This review contains spoilers. So I got the game early and played it. I read or saw no spoilers before the release. I never do.

    So here is what I think:

    Pros:
    - gameplay
    - graphics
    - atmosphere
    - sound
    - music

    All those parts are undeniable very good. Its top notch. Sure the controls sometimes feel weird but they do in most of the games. It would be unfair to say this game isnt up to date in terms of all those points I mentioned.

    Cons:
    - story
    - character design
    - character development
    - plot holes

    So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad.
    The reason is: character development.
    If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her.
    I mean she KILLED Joel!
    How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel?
    Hell no!
    That is weak story telling. Really really weak.

    Then there are all the other new characters. Nobody is likeable. Like really. They all feel empty. They are only shells without any meaning.

    This game is just bad. Do yourself a favor and dont buy it. The reviews the journalists wrote are either bought by Sony or ND or are heavily politicly influenced. Sad thing is: because of that same journalists will most likely make this game GOTY. What a joke.

    Safe your money and buy something else.

    And last but not least: this is technically a very good game but the story/characters is/are SO bad it just doesnt matter how well the rest is done.

    You want a good revenge story? Watch "Oldboy" then you know how to make a good revenge story that shocks everybody to their core.

    This game right here? Its garbage.    … Expand

    I was expecting better story after 7 years. But you can’t deny that graphics are arguably the best for ps4 pro, the game play has improved, diversity of characters is nice but sorry I couldn’t care less for them. The first game was masterful emotional story, this time the story is meh, maybe if it was told in deferent order it would work but imho it doesn’t work the way it was presented.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La realidad es que este juego ha tenido la mala suerte de enfrentarse a diversos factores que han provocado que muchos lo hayan jugado sin realmente tener una mentalidad abierta de que les puede gustar. Si juegas a algo esperando odiarlo, créeme que lo vas a odiar. Es un juego realista, duro, sobre la venganza y la pérdida. No está hecho para que quieras a Abby a la fuerza, sino para que sepas el por qué de sus acciones. Los creadores te proporcionan la información y tú decides qué hacer con ella. Una pena que todos no hayan podido ver más allá de: "ha matado a Joel, Abby merece morir". Los personajes son grises, no hay héroes, no hay villanos. Te dan la oportunidad de entender las circunstancias de cada grupo de personas, de dónde vienen, su naturaleza... y eso no hace su viaje menos lícito. Es comprensible no disfrutar el juego, pero si lo odias, ódialo por razones que de verdad sean factibles, no porque Joel no haya muerto heroicamente o porque te obligan a jugar como Abby. La cruda realidad es que así es la muerte, en un momento estás y al siguiente ya no, menos de la mitad de las muertes en la vida real son heroicas, sobre todo en este universo post-apocalíptico.
    Incluso admito que no era la historia que yo quería que contaran, pero es la historia que he recibido y no me ha disgustado. De ahí la puntuación.
    De verdad, no escuchéis a los haters por ser los que están hablando más alto, muchos de ellos ni han jugado el juego, solamente saben x factores de la historia que no les gustan porque a "nadie" le gustan. Si de verdad vas a jugarlo, formate una opinión propia basándote en lo que te gusta y en tus propias reflexiones.    … 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]
