    I really tried to like this game but I can't get over the fact that Ellen Page is so annoying that is makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Neil Druckman is an a** that doesn't know up from down. But the major deal breaker Ellen Page being so cringeworthy and annoying as a human being. I will not be finishing this game... it will forever be a piece of trash to me

    The first one was way better. I am disappointed at the gsmeplay. Part II appears to be nothing more than an anthology of events or a half-decade covering half of the characters' prior storylines. I definitely recommend playing it at some point, but not for $60-70 dollars. Wait until it goes on sale.

Joel's death was presented so simply and helplessly that the spirit was not felt that this character was the main one in the first part, it shocked me, and the developers' idea of ​​tolerance is fundamentally wrong and should not be present in games of this kind, my rating is 10 out of 100 10 just for the schedule.… Expand

    Trash game and false advertisement. They took old Joel from the trailers and made him young Joel as flashbacks in the actual game or switched him out for another character. Good games don't need gimicks to tell a good story. I have no problem with Joel dying, but the scenario was ludicrous and was a slap in the face to true fans of the original.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually this game is a beautifully created however considering this game is a story driven game it is a disaster. It completly betrays the fundamentals that made the first one so loved. Joel deserved better and then the fact you are being forced to play as his killer is horrible. This sees you forced play with characters you dont care about and honestly it was a chore to finish it. The best parts where ellies flashback gave us a glimpse of the game we wanted but no got this mess. A generic revenge story with out the revenge… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un juego polémico, hermoso y que te deja una sensación extraña al terminarlo. La búsqueda de venganza de parte de Ellie, en el transcurso del juego auguraba otro destino, sin embargo, nos encontramos con un final confuso, chocante, y no me refiero al perdón a Abby, me refiero a que ella recibió un castigo peor a la muerte, quedó devastada, reducida a una piltrafa humana, una nueva oportunidad de vivir para ambas, con las consecuencias que ello conlleve. Personalmente me pareció un gran titulo, como fan del género y de la primera parte creo qué hay la posibilidad de gozar de una tercera entrega . Gráficos 10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (TLSS) Graphics can not make up for an absolute failure in basic storytelling, especially coming from a company that is known for putting out amazing narratives. The gameplay has been improved upon and expanded, but still feels outdated.

    (TLS) This game's story seems to try to separate itself from the original, and in doing so, destroys the only thing that made this series special to begin with. While the original had a compact cast of side characters with their own backstories, agendas, and personalities, virtually none of your companions in part 2 have anything interesting or sympathetic about them, and there are so many that it is too difficult to become invested in any one. For example, Dina, Ellie's love interest, is not fleshed out in the slightest, and is as about as engaging as a brick wall outside of her quips (much like other sides chars). The only character I can say I personally cared about was Lev.

    The plot is the main reason as to why the player-character connection is similarly botched with the new protagonist. Introduction of character is key to how we perceive them for the rest of the game. We all know how Abby is introduced, and how the subsequent backwards development of her is mostly a failure. Anything we see of her now is tainted by what she did to Ellie and Joel because we did not know anything about her prior.

    On top of that, there is no meaningful theme or message in this story, despite the emotion it might evoke. Emotion is a given when seeing beloved characters tortured and abused. The Last of Us subtly and naturally develops its message through Ellie and Joel's relationship, and by showing how the world around them affects that relationship, we are grounded in it. Both they and the world are believable.

    Part 2 simply beats you over the head with violence, as if we don't already know that brutal murder is a terrible thing. I cannot see what else the game was trying to say. Humans are bad and do bad things. Humanity makes the same mistakes regardless of the situation they are put in. Again, we know. You cannot show violence and leave it unexamined by any of the characters like meaning will appear out of thin air. Take Ellie's grief, for example. She thinks about Joel often, and his death is the most plausible step forward for her development and the end of his arc. We see her sorrow and suffering, but to what end? We barely know how she feels about it, aside from the fact that it was a horrible experience for her.

    This could have been a beautiful story that actually explores the meaning of revenge and what it does to a person. However, this was ruined from the get go. Abby got her moment of catharsis in Joel's death in the first two hours of the game. In over twenty hours and given two chances, Ellie got nothing like that, and in the end was left with quite literally nothing. The idea that was supposed to be pushed here was torn in two by this duality - is revenge good or bad, justified or not? Who deserves to die for their mistakes and who doesn't?

    This is not "a story that needed to be told." Violence and revenge is a story that has been told a hundred times, both in the real world and in art, and when given the chance to offer a new perspective, whoever the hell wrote this game squandered it.

    All of this is my opinion and what I experienced, and I respect anyone who was able to find a 10/10 in this absolute disaster.    … Expand

    This is so sad how they wasted whole potential of the game. The only good thing about it are graphics, nothing else. Characters are poorly written and the story is just bad. I wish that this game wouldn't come out, so someday we could get real The last of us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first TLOU was nearly a perfect game, on my top 3 of all time. TLOU2 however is probably the worst game I have ever played. Who would have thought that such a tragic story would make people like the game.

    Joel died so early, so all the flashback after that felt dry.
    Story forced Ellie to not get revenge for Joel's death.
    Ellie lost her fingers, so she lost the only bond left with Joel (ability to play guitar).
    Ellie ended up being in bad terms with Tommy.
    Dina ended up leaving Ellie.
    In the end Ellie ended up alone.

    Who thought all these negative events nonstop would make a good game. A good story is suppose to take us on an emotional roller coaster ride. When the game ended I felt empty and dissatisfied, the more I sat there and thought about it the more I felt angry. I really wanted to like this game, but it turned out to be trash.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an unbelievable mess, characters are misused and wasted, the plot is tired and predictable and half way through this game it pulls an unfortunate MGS2 switch a roo. Characters make decisions that are questionable concerning their own personality and history and the ending is complete trash. All I can say is that the graphics and animations are top quality. On top of that the gameplay is reasonably fun and brutal, however it gets incredibly repetitive and boring after a while.

    Honestly don’t waste your money on this.    … 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]
