    As I see it, many of the negative reviews were written on the day of publication or two days after.
    (You need at least 25-30 hours. for the story.)
    So rather reviews of people who were affected by a leak. Many users have rated TLOU2 here because of this leak. Unfortunately, this doesn't do the game justice in any way, which tells such an exciting story that you'll probably remember in 10 years.

    This game is a masterpiece. Look where you look at it.
    The gameplay, the graphics, the map designs, the **** advanced artificial intelligence that this game has, everything makes it a masterpiece. That they kill so many characters and that in the end it reaches nothing gives us an incredible message, revenge is a dark road. Whatever they say, TLOU IS A MASTERPIECE

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to like this but its so polarizing that to do that i would have to dislike the characters and story of the 1st game and that's what i loved so much about it so it didn't work for me. Far too long spent playing as characters i'm not interested in and such obviously forced attempts to try to get me to sympathize with an unlikable character that it just came across as lazily written. The game does look stunning though and i feel a lot of effort was made but that story........it just spoils it so badly and the pacing is terrible.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Reseña en español..... El juego en cuestión de mecánicas, jugabilidad, escenarios, gráficos y soundtracks está excelente, pero la historia no está a la altura de todos estos aspectos mencionados. La personalidad de Ellie no parece la misma de la parte I y la muerte de Joel fue sin gracia y sin drama alguno, ademas el antagonista principal "Abby" no es un villano a la altura para el juego, está poco desarrollado y es imposible simpatizar con ella. Hay juegos en los que el villano es odiado pero a la vez es irreemplazable por su originalidad y este no es el caso. Además ni hablar de ese final tan malo. Importante... al decir que la historia es mala en ningún momento estoy diciendo que es a causa de la inclusión ni nada por el estilo, eso no tiene nada que ver, de hecho esta bien que lo hayan hecho ya que cada quien hace su juego a su manera, pero hay que aceptarlo, el desarrollo de la historia es horrible.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eu amei o game, faltou pouca coisa pra ser perfeito, o gameplay teve um upgrade em relação ao primeiro e é satisfatório. A história eu gostei bastante, entendo a frustração do pessoal, mas a lição as vezes não vem do que queremos e sim do que não esperamos. Ao final do jogo da Ellie após o que acontece com Owen e Mel eu já sentia que a jornanda não valeu a pena.
    Quanto a Abby faltou uma construção pequena pra ligar ela as crianças, algum diário dizendo que elas estava pensando, pois só o sonho e algumas falas não foi suficiente, mas ainda é uma jornada interessante e difícil de aguentar como foi da Ellie.
    Santa Barbara foi muito importante pois eu queria um novo encontro e independente do fim que Ellie escolheria eu queria Abby livre de alguma forma.

    Sobre a lição do game, a vingança não traria Joel de volta e fez Ellie perder tudo inclusive os dedos que impede de tocar o vilão que era uma forte ligação ao Joel, mas sobrou uma coisa. A vida, Joel deu ela isso e eu acredito que ela vai viver isso da melhor maneira já que foi o que sobrou.
    Abby também buscou a vingança e conseguiu mas ela perdeu tudo quase tudo no fim, mas diferente de Ellie que nem Dina esteve por ela mais, ela encontrou o Lev uma razão pra viver e proteger, uma nova família.

    Os temas por fora são bem abordados, preconceito de um modo geral é bem trabalhado no caso de indentidade de genêro e origentação sexual. Fico triste que isso tenha gerado reações negativas mas ao meu ver game ganhou muitos mais pontos com isso.
    Grande jogo, vou zerar novamente.    … Expand

Bem vamos aos problemas, primeiro nós criamos um vinculo muito forte com os personagens principais do primeiro jogo, para que o diretor os descartassem sem humanidade e empatia nenhuma com os fãs, entendo que o mundo apocalíptico não é fácil, mas a criação da Abby e seu vinculo com os médico (seu pai) que iria operar e matar a Ellie no processo, sendo um membro dos vaga-lumes. foi de um clichê inexplicável, ninguém liga para a Abby e o jeito que o jogo força essa personagem para o público como se ela fosse uma vítima é inacreditável, ela é uma vilã, ela mata o personagem principal do primeiro jogo a sangue frio, o que o diretor iria esperar dos fãs? que amassem ela depois de contar seus sofrimentos? não fode! esse jogo tinha tudo para ter um roteiro magnifico, a roteirista do primeiro jogo e diversos funcionários da NG abandonaram o projeto por divergências ideológicas com o diretor, que forçou goela abaixo sua ideologia no game, mas quem dera esse fosse o problema, seria ótimo e fosse, mas não, o jogo conta a historia e motivos de acontecimentos importantíssimos para a trama de forma confusa, falta detalhes, faltou carinho com a historia e legado do jogo, estou decepcionado com a forma que a NG tratou seus personagens tão queridos isso foi injusto após tanta espera.... E no final para Ellie jogar todos seus sacrificios e jornada fora, demonstrar compaixão, tudo bem que Abby provavelmente morreu por ter sido mordida, a menos que inventem que ela também é imune, historia patética, poderia ter sido uma grande sequencia, mas jogou tudo fora por motivos ideológicos, por agenda, ridiculo. Mas técnicamente, graficamente o jogo é fenomenal, divertido e as escolhas de seus criadores por mais merdas que foram, por mais odiosas pelo publico deve ser respeitada, e agora o diretor e todo o time, que aguente as criticas nas redes socias, esse papinho de que estão atacando o jogo pela Ellie ser lésbica não vai colar, sabemos isso desda DLC do primeiro jogo. mas eu gostei, não dou 10 por não ter superado a emoção de jogar o primeiro.… Expand

A prova Fatídica de que o enredo funciona é a raiva irracional que muitos fãs sentem com a perda do Joel. Alguns expressam de forma furiosa ranqueado de forma ruim ao jogo, outros ficam tristes e sentem a dor da perda a ponto de continuar a historia para ver a sua resolução.

Without spoilers here are just the main reasons:

    False advertising

    Characters were acting way out of character Plot holes (there is a lot)

    Story telling pacing did not work with game play. (You could watch the cut-scenes and get the same story.) The interactions are either very litter or none.

    Game was forcing way to many politics/opinions

    Goals were hypocritical for characters

    I have more but I would need to get into spoilers.

    I know a lot of people are going to say its because of certain things in the game or things that take place in the first act but this is truly not the case. From a screen writing perspective this is still bad writing, and forced perspectives.

    It also teaches nothing new and its a story that has been done over and over again. Just because it puts shock value throughout doesn't make it good writing. In fact in my opinion its lazy.
    I read the writer from the last game was not involved and it shows. Too many characters are introduced but nothing ever comes of them. Old character don't act like their prior selves.
    The focus of the story shifts trying to make you feel a certain way but a lot of people overlook a certain lack of humanity in another character so it doesn't make sense to compare them.

    I will say I don't think I would've been so hard on the game if it wasn't purposely falsely advertised.They also seem to hide behind certain communities for defense but they have nothing to do with many peoples opinion/review for the game.

    Lastly one thing I really hate is people are saying its just the fan base that is upset. This is not the case as if you go to any major critic site. The Last of Us received nothing but praise. But I would say this one deserves its low rating. Some people will enjoy it but to be honest, this is not some deep writing. Its lazy and forced and uses a cheap trick to try and manipulate the way you feel.

    The Last of Us was a great game. I never was forced to feel, I just did while playing. This game tried to tell me how to feel and I didn't. If this story was told a different way I would not hate it so as much but as it stands, its the worst game Naughty Dog has ever made. I hope they learn from the feedback.

    Positives: AI was great, Graphics were amazing, Music amazing as always, voice acting superb! But the story is the most important part in these types of games so with that I give it my honest opinion. 4/10.

    The Last of Us should have been the last in the series.    … 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]
