    A wonderful, yet saddening story about guilt, grief, revenge and love. Truly groundbreaking

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has very good graphics, interesting gameplay and excellent scenarios, these are the good points. But the main element of The Last of Us that is story was destroyed, the Naughty Dog made fans of the game disappointed by the death of Joel, who was very remarkable character and who dies pathetically in the game. The story took a totally different turn than most players imagine, and made the game's narrative very political and boring. So doing the game The Last of Us part II, which was long disappointment for the people who played the first game. And finally, the game has many bugs of collision with the scenery and textures do not load. For everything I said in the analysis my score will be low, because that game was a big disappointment for me.… Expand

    ¡QUE ASCO! una pésima historia un pésimo giro personajes forzados, feminismo e inclusión por donde lo veas en resumen el juego es una basura en cuanto a trama y que es un juego de este tipo sin trama, si se que sus gráficos son excelentes y la jugabilidad fenomenal pero sin una historia bien estructurada es solo un juego que pasa desapercibido.
    Este juego es una propaganda vulgar y grotesca el feminismo y la homosexualidad (NO ESTOY EN CONTRA DE LOS HOMOSEXUALES NI DE LAS MUJERES) lo que a veces se hace pesado, también esta el tema joel creo que merecía una muerte mas justa, menos tonta (con mejor narrativa y en un momento donde causara impacto) y menos plana porque joel era un icono en este juego se cagaron en el y en el primer juego, en lo que a mi respecta este juego nunca existió.    … Expand

    This game provides good graphics but the story is terrible. I can feel that Naughty Dog wants to create a "unusual" and "deep" story but in fact it makes every character in this game unlikable. I cannot empathize with the characters, nor can I understand some of their actions or choices. Also, the astonishing sex scene in this game is really disgusting and ugly that makes me uncomfortable.

Maybe it's because they have a different writing team or something but the characters didn't really interact in a natural way either. In some parts it feels like they're just tourists going through a museum instead of actual survivors in a post-apocalypse.

    Where to begin... the only few things that would be considered great with the game would be the graphics and detail that went into the production. Which I'm referring to the gameplay and the scenery. Majestic. And that's as good as it gets.

    Before anyone complains that many people are disappointed with the game because of the LGBTQ+ themes, please get that out of your head. The fact    Where to begin... the only few things that would be considered great with the game would be the graphics and detail that went into the production. Which I'm referring to the gameplay and the scenery. Majestic. And that's as good as it gets.

    Before anyone complains that many people are disappointed with the game because of the LGBTQ+ themes, please get that out of your head. The fact that many characters are LGBT+ has nothing to do with how whack the plot is. However I do feel that the game poorly represents the LGBT+ community in many ways. But that's not the point.

    To describe the plot as it is without spoiling it for those who still want to look into it -- Just look it up on YouTube, don't spend $60 --, the game does a very poor job at presenting a revenge story as it should be. The choices you are forced to make leave you feeling like crap. Death is fine and many games are about killing, but the fact that Ellie goes through the entire game in search of revenge only to not to finish it (take that as you will), makes every other death in this game feel like useless. It makes you feel empty.

    It completely changes Joel and Tommy. No spoilers to their fates (though I feel you may already know), but keep in mind that they have been surviving in such a horrible world for many years. Now imagine having all this training of trusting no one and being careful only to have all of that down the drain.

    This game does no justice to its predecessor. Everything about this game (minus the gameplay) makes it seem like this game isn't even about what it was originally. It's bad. You ever seen GoT? The ending to this game makes GoT's ending seem like a masterpiece. The plot becomes linear, then diverts from what it was. I'm serious, the game goes in depth about a character's past and it truly doesn't help the plot. All it does is shove the idea this into your face for some hours: "This character has a different sexuality! Believe it!" and then it doesn't help the plot one bit. Not only does it poorly represent the LGBT community, it really feels like a political idea rather than the game it should've been.

    All in all, the only good things about this game would be the mechanics, the gameplay, and graphics. The revenge story ended horribly and made everything else that happened in the game feel pointless. The ending to this game feels like what you'd get for making horrible choices in games that have a morale system implemented. You will feel disappointed within the first 2 hours. The rest will feel whack. Everything about what it tries to represent is so bad at doing so. Joel would disappointed in Ellie. We all are. If you played the first game, you will understand that everything about this makes everything else pointless. It's disappointing and you will regret spending $60 on a game with a horrible plot. Sure, the graphics are nice, but not point in playing a game that feels good but has depressingly bad story. You'll feel miserable at every twist. The ending is depressing. Everything you do in this game goes to waste in the end.

    Don't buy this game. It's not even worth the $20 price tag it'll have in the near future.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visuals/Production:
    The Last of Us Part 2 is one of the most beautiful game graphically in this generation so far. The depiction of post apocalyptic America is top notch. Acting and sounds is also great. Something all of us expected from the beginning.

    Visuals and Productions: 8/10

    Story:
    The Last of Us Part 2 failed miserably on its story telling. Character's decision sometimes felt forced and out of their usual character making it feel like the story is rushed and lacked with natural development. Most of the new characters felt flat and
    not relateable. The story itself is riddled with plot holes that is sometimes plainly laughable something you do not expect after the success of the first game. It didn't also helped that I was forced to play as a character that I don't sympathize with. The ending made the whole game pointless, I just wish they gave players the choice on this one. If you like the characters of the first game, don't play this one.

    Story: 1/10

    Gameplay:
    The gameplay is very similar with the first game which I think one of the weaker parts of the The Last of Us Remastered (2014). Game stages felt repetitive and sometimes empty. The semi open world felt pointless story wise although I think it may add to the overall experience to some. What I like about this game is the comprehensive game difficulty customization which I hope to see more in future games. Overall gameplay felt boring and repetitive, and could easily be just a 15 to 20-hour game. It also offers nothing new compared to the first game which I didn't like, gameplay wise to begin with.

    Gameplay: 4/10

    Overall, The Last of Us Part 2 failed to lived to its hype. I love how the first game was grounded on realism and has relateable characters and story development, Naughty Dog failed to build on these, tried to make the Part 2 so different to the point that it is unrecognizable and forced.

    Overall: 4.3/10    … Expand

    For a game thats 90% story based this is tragic. The gameplay is outdated and a bit weird, but the same case could easily be made for the first game, which I hold in very high regard. Naugthy Dog had every opportunity to make this a masterpiece. Clunky gameplay and an unfinishable story, this game is too hard to enjoy.

    So I feel this game is a 5/10, to some it might seem low and to other's it might feel high but I'll explain below.

    To start I did not enjoy TLOU2 personally. I didn't think it was a good game in terms of story or gameplay especially and the new characters varied from unremarkable to average. Pros: - Art style: TLOU always had a beautiful art style and this sequel is no different,    So I feel this game is a 5/10, to some it might seem low and to other's it might feel high but I'll explain below.

    To start I did not enjoy TLOU2 personally. I didn't think it was a good game in terms of story or gameplay especially and the new characters varied from unremarkable to average.

    Pros:

    - Art style: TLOU always had a beautiful art style and this sequel is no different, in terms of environmental design it is stunning at times especially seeing Seattle overgrown with foliage. You truly get the image of a civilization in ruins while traversing it.

    - Sound Design: TLOU was heralded for its beautiful soundtrack and ambient sounds and this sequel measures up to that. And while I may have personally preferred the original's soundtrack, that isn't a knock on the sequels. There were some truly inspired choices used and it is definitely one of the games highlights.

    - Character Design: With the exception of a few characters, the overall character design ranges from average to great for the setting it is in. It's nothing monumental, no truly awe inspiring designs but the ones that you do see are more often then not good.

    - Performance: Voice acting in this game is phenomenal with probably a single character whom I didn't feel the voice fit the character. Troy Baker as Joel is an absolute highlight again managing to capture the pained and conflicted anti hero and Ashley Johnson is masterful as Ellie making you truly feel what she is going through.

    Cons:

    - Story: I understand what they were hoping to accomplish with the story but for me and seemingly many others it fell flat. The story came across akin to a fanfiction written by someone who truly hated the first game, and that becomes obvious within the first 3 hours of the campaign where a formerly leading protagonist is absolutely disrespected with their legacy ultimately leading to nothing and their death being purely for shock value. And the character responsible for his death never reaches the sympathetic protagonist archetype that they were going for. Instead it does a disservice to the characters affected by it and the game suffers as a whole.

    - Gameplay: TLOU was never heralded for it's impressive gameplay but I had hoped that with 7 years under their belt, Naughty Dog would have managed to improve vastly upon what came before. Instead it appears that what we received was not even a refinement, but simply a few additions in the form of dodge and momentary incapacitation. This leads to stagnant and monotonous gameplay repetition that becomes tedious a few yours in. If you played TLOU1, you'll be familiar with the playstyles.

    Enemy AI: There is no easy way to put this, enemy AI in this game is bad, very very bad. TLOU1 had laughably bad AI at the time of it's release but even 7 years later with massive system upgrades the enemy AI is only fractionally better then what came before. For context I recently played through Watch Dogs, a game that was released in 2014. To me that game had vastly superior enemy AI as they had heightened detection and posted more of a challenge.

    Enemy variation: This is another area that suffered in TLOU2, the enemy variety is lacking, very lacking. And that along with the gameplay hurts the overall experience.

    Level Design: TLOU2 suffers from having to me at least very straightforward encounters. You are more often then not thrown into an area with only 1-2 ways to handle said scenario often resulting in the same outcome. The lack of variety to the levels as well as the above reasons makes gameplay tedious at times.

    Overall like I said, I did not enjoy The Last of Us 2 myself, I understand why some loved it and I understand why some hate it. But despite the pro's I listed, I can't get myself to give it any higher than a 5. I loved The Last of Us, but the sequel seemed to make it a mission to undo what the first game had built up resulting in characters I didn't care for, a pointless death which amounted to nothing in the end and sadly far too many missteps for me to rank it any higher.

    I have no doubt that the developers poured plenty of work into this game, but sadly I can not rate it any higher than I have. I hope they take the criticism to heart and work to improve going forward. Sadly I think it is time to let The Last of Us franchise end. This was an anticipated but unnecessary sequel that ultimately did more harm then good.    … 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]
