    Incredible game, the story based on hate is just something else, and the gameplay is the best of a third person shooter game.

Qué triste que se hayan arruinado esta joya, me indigna el poco amor y esmero que le pusieron al juego, lo pobre de la historia, el poco amor que se tuvo a los personajes más queridos (ellie - joel). Con Joel muerto al principio, quién queda??? Ellie??? Ellie se vuelve un personaje odiado al final. Qué querían transmitir con la historia??? Cuál fue su meta??? Gracias por arruinar esta preciosa saga.… Expand

    By far one of the best games I have ever played. The variety of detail is by far the best any game has ever offered. The game play is superior to the original. The story is a masterpiece. Naughty Dog I love you!

    Tecnicamente incrível, mas a história e o enredo do jogo são MUITO RUINS. eu me forcei a zerar esse jogo antes de Ghost of Tsushima e foi difícil, muitas vezes cai no ostracismo, a parte de Eliie é MUITO chata, só se salva o hospital, e a forçação pra por a Abby e a perspectiva dela, meu Deus, muito chato. Muita decepção até pelo primeiro jogo ser um dos meus favoritos.

    Gameplay is okay. The rope physics are amusing for a while, but the central component of a Last of Us game is the story. This is a straight up revenge story with even less compelling characters. Not original and not worth the price

    This rate is low, because you said "f u" to the fans with such "amazing story"! I would've rate 0 but the graphics, gameplay and everything else is great, so it keeps it at 1, could've been another masterpiece but you ruined everything at once

    I played this game for a couple of hours only to find they Had killed off My favourite characterJoel and replaced him with a over the top Buff woman who i hope did not have to play.

    Please dont make a third one. Once dead always dead. Very sad where they directed the game.

    The company called us fans who did not like it Trolles and haters. I dont like to be told what to play as a fan as i spent $99 AUD for this game as a cd. I took it back and got a full refund.

    The Journo Critics will say anything great about the game....But remember they get paid to play these games and get exclusive deals... I dont beleive in the Metacritc score as they are also misleading us as fans. Use your own judgment. Play to enjoy and have fun.. play the game and see if it is for you.

    If there is one thing star wars and last of us fans can agree on is that pretending that the latest sequel never existed. The story is one big crime against Joel and Ellie and some fans of the first game Druckmann said that he cared about these characters (Joel and Ellie). The fact that they used false advertising just pisses me off, to the point where i take 2 points from my rating.

    Simply put, this is THE BEST videogame ever created. A mature and gut-wrenching story, absolutely beautiful graphics, polished gameplay and the best sound design ever in a video game all come together to make this an absolute masterpiece. This is a new benchmark in gaming that will be talked about for decades to come.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay so I was really excited to play this game I avoided most of the internet to keep away from spoilers. Now I really wished I had just read about those and made a hard pass on this game. Huge fan the first game. The story and the characters just melded together to make something truly special. However, that does not work with this title. The story and the characters in this game are awful and stupid to the point where I would not be surprised if they did get infected at some point between the first and second and their brain started to deteriorate. Okay without spoilers think of near the end of Batman V Superman where Batman doesn’t kill Superman’s because both of their mothers names were Martha and they suddenly became best friends after fighting each other nearly the whole movie. The only reason this game is not a zero is because the graphics, sound and gameplay are really good. If your in it for the story just go watch a let’s play and save the money for something better like Ghost of Tsushima.… Expand

What were you guys thinking? He could have had a death that suited him and if it was necessary to kill him at the hands of Abby, don't make her the character you play as.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall I think this is a really great game but it has some weaknesses and frustrating aspects - and I am not overly sure on the overall message/story that Naughty Dog decided to go with. Major spoilers below.

    I'm in the camp that really enjoyed the narrative switch and being able to play as Abby. They changed the gameplay slightly in terms of the weapons available to her and how physical she is which kept the general feel fresh and that was important as the game overall can feel a bit stale sometimes because of repetition (puzzle, infected, people, puzzle, infected, people, set piece etc.). So I enjoyed that switch and I also thought as a narrative device it does work. I have to say that playing as Abby, I like her. I don't forgive her but I do like her, and mostly I wanted both Ellie and Abby to survive for the people in their lives more than any forgiveness for the things they have done. Both Dina and Lev are great supporting characters in my opinion and they're the main reason I want our main playable characters to end the cycle of revenge.

    The weaknesses of the game come from some of the repetitive gameplay in my opinion. I also think that the AI are unforgiveably stupid at times, although in saying that I only played it on moderate difficulty for my first run through.

    My main issue though comes from the relentless bleakness and the game seemingly implicating you, the player, in the horror and brutal torture that is meted out by the main playable characters. The game doesn't force us to kill Joel or Jesse, but it does force us to torture Nora, to try and kill both Ellie and Dina, and in that final beach battle it forces the player to fight regardless of how you might feel about it. I know it isn't an open-ended game, Naughty Dog aren't creating a "choose your own story" narrative, and that's ok - but I resent the game forcing us to make that step as well as the characters.

    I also wonder about the narrative choice - there are no good people in this world (or so it seems). This sort of links up to my above point but when you enter a situation where there are people, there is seemingly no option other than to kill them all (or stealth your way through to avoid them). There is no situation where you just meet other people, are wary of them, but carry on. In fact the game starts with Joel and Tommy saving someone, and Joel is killed for it. The only other time a stranger is saved is when Lev and Yara cut Abby down - and that starts a path of change for Abby. But the entire world outside of that is horrific, and the optimist in me just refuses to believe that in the post-apocalypse, you would only find one or two slivers of light amongst hundreds and thousands of people.

    However, really this is just a gripe with the overall world view of the game. It's not an issue I have with the story that was told within that world, and it didn't take away from involvement in the story. I'm still giving the game a positive review overall: even if you disagree with the narrative decisions, I think it's well worth playing all the way through.    … Expand

For so long I and we have been waiting to play a sequel to the TLOU a master piece of a game! TLOU2 comes no where close.

    First off the good stuff, the graphics are outright the best I have seen which to be honest was expected considering how good the graphics are in the first game(when it came out) and the technology used to behind it.

    The game play and combat mechanics is still really good but there really isn't much difference here from the first game. There is only some small minor things... you would think after 7 years there would be some decent improvement or changes.

    The Story, the single most important element of the game - imo is a horrible experience to play through, one horrific bad s*** crazy thing after another. This story butchers the majority of characters especially the ones we have come to love from the first game.

    OK... I didn't like what they had done with certain characters but with one character in particular and the whole shocking scene with this said character had effected me quite negatively and from here on out I kinda had to FORCE my myself to play and finish the game(hoping there would be some good).
    Never in my life have I had to force myself to finish a game.

    We are then forced to play most of the story/game as a character who for me... well...hated(and probably for a lot of other people too). Playing as this now "hated" character makes it so much harder to play the game. The game has instantly lost its fun and interest factor.

    Poor character development... I won't elaborate to keep this review spoiler free.

    TLOU was and still is a fun, interesting, thrilling game to play and even though its 7 years later its still not bad to look at(graphics wise). The game has set the bar.... with the exception of the graphics TLOU2 however does not live up to that purely because of the continuation of horrible story events, poor character development and playing as a hated character through out!    … Expand

    que por su historia vivía agarrando a balazos hasta a sus propios compañeros, destacar el ego de Neil Druckmann al ponerse a el mismo dentro del juego como personaje para terminar muriendo tiempo después, en Tlou 1 podías ir en sigilo para no gastar balas, sin embargo, aquí no pasa eso, es solo reventar a balazos a quien se te pase por enfrente.
    Al tratar de poner esa inclusión con abby se arruinaba ya que varias horas del juego te veías forzado a jugar con ella, y despues de un rato quedabas cómo CONCHETUMARE QUE SE ACABE LUEGO ESTA WEA, otro punto negativo son las lineas de tiempo y la poca coherencia entre estas ejemplo un año mas tarde 5 años antes etc    … Expand

    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.
