    The game is garbage. The characters are dumbed down for the plot, which itself was dumbed down and quite bad.

The story feels too forced we all know that what characterized the first one is its good story but for nauty two wanting to get on the all inclusive train forgot to make the story Joel's death was so basic that it does not represent anything just a reason for revenge, something super exploited in video games and those who tell him that this game has the best graphics in history that only fix the red dead redemption 2 you have the same graphics and it's open world stop defending the indefensible this reminds me of netflix… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What is the most valuable element of the end of a story? It's the pay-off. In the Last of Us 1, you finish the game with a feeling of satisfaction because you just finished processing a massive plot twist and the final cutscene carries a scent of mystery and anticipation for the next installment while also offering a much-desired pay-off. The Last Of Us 2 however, succeeds in undoing all of that. By the time, I was done with the game, I immediately noticed there was no pay-off but instead all I could feel was an unrelenting sense of emptiness as the main character, Ellie ends up losing everything for nothing and the new character, Abby is the only who has a decent conclusion. The game somehow disrespects all our favorite characters and destroys them like they are nothing and from their remains, they try to build a new character whom we are forced to play as and encouraged to sympathize with. I did my best to try but to no avail, as the game simply put, attempts to coerce us into liking the character and the experience is very similar to a mother stuffing food into a child's mouth because she believes the child enjoys it when they actually don't. The Last Of Us 2 is a tragic story and nothing more. It bears no emotion, only rage with no tears. The pacing of the story is extremely subpar, as well as its narrative as the game constantly forces us through flashbacks within flashbacks and while, this is somewhat tolerable at first, it gets stale very quickly. As for the gameplay, while being jampacked with intense moments where you must 'smart' your way through levels instead of just going in guns blazing, it's still very slow and clunky and there is little innovation between the previous iteration and this one. The Last Of Us 2 is a far cry from its predecessor and throughout its story, it constantly stabs its fans repeatedly with the ending being the final twist of the knife.… Expand

    Not a story about revenge, it's all about violence and how dangerous is using violence, The last of us was good but Part II is a great masterpiece and without any doubt, the best video game of all time.

    Un excelente juego, desde su jugabilidad, gráficos e historia. La historia si bien es un poco decepcionante, no por lo mala pero si por los hechos que ocurren durante el juego y algunas cosas que pasan con el protagonista del juego anterior, es una historia que te atrapa de principio a fin.

    Story is mediocre, gameplay is alright. The fact you play as Abby for about 10 hours is ridiculous. She’s not likable. Not because of the way she looks, but because her character is trash. She’s a stone cold killer that they attempt to make you empathize with. I could have dealt with playing as her for 2 hours, but around 40 percent of the game is crazy. Her dialogue with Lev is terrible.Story is mediocre, gameplay is alright. The fact you play as Abby for about 10 hours is ridiculous. She’s not likable.

    The same animation everytime you stealth kill
    The AI was just as bad if not worse from 1st game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this review is totally out of order
    Firstly
    I would like to talk about what the game pleases me
    in sound design is something impeacevel
    in graphics and captures of facial expressions is for sure the best game I have ever seen
    the game deserves Goty for having the best fascinating technical details but the way the narrative develops, I believe it was a good narrative but I really didn't feel the emotion of 7 years ago that I had with part 1
    The way the narrative develops
    with Joel's death in a ridiculous way
    made me accumulate a gigantic hate for Abby
    even after 10 HOURS of gameplay showing Abby's story she was not able to take a gigantic hatred of me for her
    The game was based on revenge all the time
    ellie lost everything for that
    when I really thought I would have the satisfaction of watching Abby die
    was give me the human value 'Vengeance only brings the worst' and 'forgiving is right'
    i wish i could be relieved to see ellie be able to kill her and she feel relieved to have got her revenge but it wasn’t me deliver that emotion
    Joel's death made me want to die inside
    the character q in the first game said:
    -do not trust strangers
    left to be taken by a group of armed people
    all that Joel said in part 1 to try to make ellie grow strong was completely forgotten
    this is **** ****
    The whole experience in the game is in vain
    one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen was ellie playing the guitar
    I will never be able to have the same emotion that I felt when I heard her playing and me knowing that Joel was fulfilled his promise to teach her
    all the emotions you have in the game are lost due to causes of 'human values'
    i really wish i could cry like i cried in part 1 after replaying it 5 times
    but I don’t think it’s possible after the feeling of insastification after finishing the game
    The game is perfect in technical matters but fails to make the player feel an emotion equal to 7 years ago with part 1.
    that was my opinion
    may be poorly structured, but it still remains what I think about the game    … Expand

I want to f*****g scream. Not only did Naughty Dog wanted us to sympathize with this psychopath who tortured Joel in front of Ellie with a literal golf club, by showing us her sAD bAcKsToRy, but also they completely neglected Ellie who everyone expected to be the main focus (as she should!). Do I look like a person that gives a s**t about some random girl that we haven't even seen before? Disappointment of the year.… Expand

    Story is garbage. Abby sucks. This game didn't need to exist, yet people hoped it would be good since they probably figured that Naughty Dog deemed there was a story worth telling. Sadly, this story was not worth telling AT ALL and should not exist. Hope to god they don't bother making a third game because no one wants it.

    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]
