    The Last of Us Part 2 is a game about consequences, trauma, revenge, redemption, emotions and love. And all of this is very well portrayed by the almost impeccable direction. Which makes sense as more than two thousand people worked on the last of us 2, but for that many people working on a game, personally it ended up becoming disappointing.

    Gameplay against humans is more difficult    The Last of Us Part 2 is a game about consequences, trauma, revenge, redemption, emotions and love. And all of this is very well portrayed by the almost impeccable direction. Which makes sense as more than two thousand people worked on the last of us 2, but for that many people working on a game, personally it ended up becoming disappointing.

    Gameplay against humans is more difficult mainly thanks to dogs, but to balance you have silenced weapons. And against zombies easier thanks to new weapons, plenty of resources and Ellie's pocket knife. The addition of a Boss fight was interesting. The skill tree is much more complex than that of the first game, but most of the improvements are totally superfluous. The real problems are the fact that it is basically the same gameplay as 7 years ago and it ends up becoming quite repetitive and tedious towards the end of the Abby part, because you need to explore "all over again", the combat gets repetitive, your equipment and improvements are basically reset. Melee combat has improved, now it's more skill and less luck (except against dogs).

    The level design remains great. Ellie's diary is a really bad addition, I never thought a diary would add so much depth to a character. The game is very linear 99% of the time but still has a lot of focus on exploration, there are those who like it and some who don't, personally I liked it.

    The narrative again is very simple, but the feelings generated, the consequences of these simple actions on people and their emotions are very complex. And unfortunately the story focuses a lot on the development and personal drama of certain characters and there is very little development in the relationships between them (which was the focus of the first game), it hurt the game too much. This script is much better than that of the first game, much more directions and unpredictable events (in the first game there were exactly 2 that surprised me). But even with more events, these events end up being small and do not change the course of history much. The story of the first game is more 'solid' than that of this one, the general coverage was greater, it is easier for people to like it. For example: in the story of this one if you don't like Abby, half the game becomes horrible (for me it even worked). So it ends up being very personal if you think this game is better than the first, mainly because its strengths are different.

    The problem with the way they "folded" the story was that the predictability of it would compromise on the other half, since the story was bound to happen in a certain way. In addition to the huge problem generated by you being totally immersed in Ellie's story and what will happen next, only you need to "reject" the same story to continue where you left off and when you get there you are no longer filled with hatred , grudge, thirst for revenge and full of the urgency of what will happen next. What could be a problem for many was the fact that the game humanized characters only after you killed them, so their deaths had no weight. Personally I didn't think it was so bad because I don't think they needed to have a narrative weight, the goal was to kill the characters out of anger at what happened to Joel, the problem was that their humanization for me was relatively useless, it wasn't bad or tedious, just unnecessary. You can argue that it served you to see the other side of the story and regret it, and it's all right. I also thought that Abby saving and caring so much about Lev and Yara was forced and the script knew it and ****

    I found it very interesting how certain characters simply die with a shot to the head and thanks, you have to keep surviving and fighting. But the problem with this is that the script seems to have completely forgotten that they existed after their deaths, there is no more mention of them. And there is the fact that the dead characters are very superficial and have a tiny focus during the story. Another problem was that the first half of the game is far superior to the second and it bothers you during the game. And for some reason the writer appeals to pregnant women too much to make you care about the characters.

    Joel's scene is very good but it happened too soon, it lost much of its impact. And this scene needed to be much more impactful, one way that I saw many talking about would be to put the flashbacks before his death would solve this. Maybe it would solve more I liked how all the flashbacks were embedded in the story (with the exception of the party flashback that Ellie kisses Dina, this one was too late for no reason and could have helped in the initial immersion of the game). I think they needed to have given more focus to Joel before he died, before the sequence of his death he doesn't even appear, if they had created some current everyday scenes of Ellie and Joel it would have been a lot better, but it looked like they wanted to rush right to it.    … Expand

Went totally off track Neil Druckmann has destroyed a franchise and for that I am disgusted with him and what he did to Joel everything these days feels so forced and if you don’t like it they just scream at you and nothing gets resolved this game is not good and it should have never been made. They should’ve kept exploring Joel and Ellie Idk who thought it was a good idea to kill the franchise like that but wow what an idiot!… Expand

This game has the worst script ever written on Earth. They literally killed Joel, who was a well written legendary character in the first game, for nothing! The ending of the game is not worth Joel's death.… Expand

    This game is just an all round mess.
    The only thing it has going for it is the semi-decent graphics and even they aren't amazing for a game releasing 2020.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The successor of one of the Best Games ever made is more a political statement than a game.
    While it does have great graphics and a wonderful sound, the gameplay is fluid but not on a near perfect level. Sometimes it feels too clumsy and not polished enough.
    The story on the other hand is nothing more than making a statement against men while focussing more and more on gender issues. With killing of the first games main character the story feels more constructed than anything else- while you shouldnt judge anybodys work solely on a political bias, the trailer are false marketing and nobody should ne encouraged to buy this game.    … Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is a kick in the dick for fans as they ruin or kill off likeable characters for LGBT rubbish that should NEVER be in these games. The graphics are very pleasant and the gameplay is okay but the overall experience feels terrible due to its bad story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ¿Como va a morir Joel? Naughty Dog: ¿Que tenías en la cabeza? A mi me parece que un pedazo de m***da, porque realmente, pese a la "lección" de que si matan a tu compañero, hay que aceptarlo y listo (reverenda estupidez por cierto), ningún fan del primer juego quería ver este tipo de escenarios desagradables. La muerte de Joel es de lo más cutre, ¡al menos hubiera muerto luchando! No creo que un tipo que sobrevivió a todo lo anterior pueda dejarse asesinar tan fácilmente. Ni siquiera tuvo un propósito como por ejemplo, sacrificarse, que hubiera honrado la muerte del personaje. En su lugar, una protagonista nueva que a nadie le importa lo asesina sin piedad y lentamente, y Ellie en vez de matarla la deja ir.... esto seria una lección fuerte, de no ser porque Ellie asesinó a cien personas antes de llegar a la venganza contra Abby.… Expand

Characters make atrocious decisions, unnecessary gore. Ending leaves much to be desired. I can say more about this game, but I just don't want to put my hands in this **** It's terrable. I even now don't understand why they created this Part 2. It's just doesn't make any sense. You can just don't play this game and this won't change nofing.

The first game was a decent story told well, the writing wasn't spectacular yet it built up an actual world and made it believable. This game fails to do that, half way through I honestly forgot that this was suppose to be a post apocalyptic world, or that Clickers were in any way a threat to society.

    The writing is extremely basic and in your face. Every message is blatantly told to the player, and any form of subtlety doesn't exist. Characters know information that they shouldn't possibly know, and what little emotion that the story attempts to bring our misses it's mark.    … 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]
