    The combat system is fine, but totally disappointed on the story. If the name and the characters became others, this would be a great game....

    What a shame

    I absolutely LOVE this game. GREAT STORY. Great characters! Well written story, I really felt for the characters, I loved it until the end. The visuals are amazing and the gameplay was better then in the first game. I also loved the fact that it took me 30 hours to finish! When the first part of the story was over, after like 18 hours, I was ready to accept that this was the end, and wasI absolutely LOVE this game. GREAT STORY. Great characters!

    Es realmente desesperante y frustrante despúes de terminar el título, jugando al rededor de 40 horas, y más que el tiempo que le he dedicado; el cuál llega a sentirse como una perdida, es la forma en como el director maltrata, daña y mutila a los personajes, a la historia y al título.

    Lo destroza de una forma vil y estúpida. Se aprovecha del éxito del primer juego para en éste, promocionar y darlo a conocer como algo completamente diferente al producto final. Lo cual puede entenderse a fin de evitar spoilers pero que realmente se nota el cambio abrupto que tomó y sobre todo lo mal montado que esta, carece de lógica y sentido en a lo largo del juego

    Gameplay es muy bueno, gráficamente de lo mejor, sonido , ambientación, pero todo eso se va al carajo por la historia, el cual es el apartado más importante de este título en particular, esté que es un secuela directa a uno de los mejores títulos de la historia y aún analizando The Last of Us part II cómo un título ajeno al primero , e independiente sigue careciendo de sentido y mal planteado.

    Pésimo y patético

    I hope Neil resigns. The game industry does not need the likes of him.
    Absolutely a disgrace of a game.
    I do not care if a game has the best graphics ever, if the story is bad there is nothing saving it.

    Nice Graphics. Other than that you butchered the story from Last Of Us 1. The characters you made us love and fight for in TLOU1 were massacred for the sake of Neil Druckmann and Anita Sarkeesian trying to go all woke in their very poorly written story. You guys killed the franchise now. I hope you are happy. You butchered the main character. Enjoy your dumpster fire.

    This is not a worst game for me only. This is the most terrible entertainment experience to me. Movie, book, series... etc. do not spend money to this junk. Also Sony lied to everyone with trailers, with director omg these are so sad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely disgusting how the beloved characters, Joel and Ellie, are treated after their amazing adventure from part 1 in 2013. This is what the fans waited for?! Really!??
    The beginning of the game plays out like the first episode of season 7 of the Walking Dead, where Joel is beaten to death with a golf club by a newly introduced villain named Abby. To make things worse, the game then forces you to play as Abby, a character you will hate. Ellie vows revenge against Abby, but she never gets it. The end of the game is one of the most pointless depressing endings I've ever had the displeasure of viewing.
    It's clear that Naughty Dog had an agenda to push with this game. Specifically an "Anti-White male" agenda. This is something I will absolutely not support and I will no longer purchase any games from Naughty Dog. The director, Neil Druckman, will never live this game down and it will always come back to haunt him.    … Expand

    The problem with heavily "multimedia" games (Games where the appeal lies in a combination of graphics, gameplay, story, music, etc.) is that no matter how good any one part may be, you can only judge it by its whole. TLOU 2 is an expensive game made by talented people who were all laboring towards a bad idea. As a result, TLOU 2 is just a bad game. PARTS of it are outstanding.

TLOU 2 is an expensive game made by talented people who were all laboring towards a bad idea. As a result, TLOU 2 is just a bad game. PARTS of it are outstanding. But the parts can never escape the whole. Ultimately TLOU2 feels pointless. It's characters are the weakest element. They all seem created to feel like "real people", but are slavishly tied to a thread of "fate" that feels often inexplicable. The romance between Ellie and her love interest feels most egregious because the characters relationship advances like a rocket against the least romantic backdrop imaginable. When Ellie casually calls her partner "babe" and casually works in an affirmation of "love", I was like... "what?!?". It's the script trying to go someplace that's completely unearned despite trying SO VERY HARD. And that's the main criticism with the writing of TLOU2. It's trying EXTREMELY hard to do... SOMEthing. But just what is inexplicable.

    TLOU2 is a perfect example of why narrative games shouldn't be so expensive (to produce). It hurts to have to call them out for not living up to the expense.    … Expand

    Deception and disappointment.
    I could forgive this game most of its narrative flaws if it wasn't for Naughty Dog's intentional deception of The Last of Us fans over the years. Be it outright lies in interviews or manipulated or faked scenes in trailers, I just feel cheated. Does Naughty Dog not think I can handle a plot twist?

    Ellie's sections of the game, especially Seattle, were pretty great, with some nice improvements to the gameplay mechanics and level design. The second half of the game, however, was a failure of story telling which I had to force myself to play just to find out how this game ends.

It's really sad how more and more critics and devs are taking the sjw road, there should be no place for politics in games! And if this is how the future of gaming looks like i quit. Well at least tlou2 has beautiful graphics and scenery's but that's about it for pros...

It’s a story so layered and meticulously crafted that it almost demands a second play through to truly understand its events. Naughty Dog’s story may be unlikable to many, but it’s a necessary and emotional one. If you enjoyed Part II’s predecessor, you really have to play this game. The fact that the game is as polarizing as it is has to speak volumes about its contents. If you have the money and you’re interested in, as Ellie says, “see(ing) what all the fuss is about”, then get the game. Don’t let the reviews influence you if you’re conflicted. Play it for yourself. Form your own opinion. That experience alone is worth it.    … Expand

    I want to start off by saying that I liked the first game. The gameplay was solid and the story was riveting, especially for a PS3 game. This, however, I did not enjoy. The fact that it's double the length of the last game makes it an experience comparable to torture. Nothing about this game is better than the first one.

The story is a laughably bad excuse for a sequel. The gameplay has not been improved except for the trivial jump button, which might as well be removed because it is useless. AI has not been improved either, zombies still act really stupid. The game is visually nice, but it still has many bugs. Notably, corpses will just disappear if you don't look at them for a split second. The game is way too violent, but I'm sure many sociopaths and psychopaths alike are happy about that. All in all, the game is just a bad experience. The maximum score it could ever deserve is a 7/10, but I'm not that generous.… 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]
