    The game has a horrible disappointing story that by the end of it you'll be wishing you never wasted 25 hours of your life, the game forces you to play a horrible written character (forces an SJW feminist agenda) abby for 10 hours and then forces you to watch a sex scene with abby that has a face of a woman but an actual man's body.

Naughty dog also let anita sarkeesian run the whole show for the game, which ultimately lead to its demise. As a last of us fan that waited 6 years, this was an utter disappointment and the worst game of 2020. If I was you guys I would wait for a sale or wait till it's free for ps plus before you play it, hell borrow it from one of your poor unfortunate friends who wasted money on it.… Expand

    The Last of Us part 2 is truly a masterpiece. It is better than its predecessor in every sense and that is coming from a person that absolutely loved the first one.

    Fantastic game in every way, currently on new game+.
    I guess a lot of people can't see the point, but the message is clear. Naughty Dog did a great job, but most people expect the impossible from them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us part II was my biggest disappointment in 33 years of gaming.

    A game that cancels all the good things and sense of hope created in the first, and throws you into a even more negative and inconclusive world.

    Let's kill Joel after 2 hours and turn Ellie into a cold-hearted avenger; let her kill countless people, including pregnant women; let her lose her girlfriend, friends and even two fingers for nothing. Because hey, at th very end of the game why not to forgive Abby after all!
    Yeah Abby, the most unappealing character ever created, the one responsible for Joel's death, and that the creators try to picture as "normal" or "right" in her point of view when you are forced to play with her for 50% of the game.
    I cannot even imagine how to feel something positive about Abby, playing with her was an absolute torture!
    And you know what? You wanted o create a game about Regvenge instead of Hope?
    Ok, but at least give me the CHOICE of killing her at the end!

    There's no freedom in this game, you're just forced to walk back and forth from point A to point B, where nothing, or nothing special happens.
    Killing Nora? Owen an Mel? Who cares about them.
    Flirting with owen at the Aquarium? Urgh.
    Helping Yara and Lev for two extremely long chapters? A gimmick to have Abby look "positive".

    The flashbacks? Yeah those were the only nice moments, when you see Ellie and Joel together in the museum, and think how beautiful this game would have been if only it was the natural continuation of their journey.

    But no, let's place it in Seattle, a city overrun by nature (what an improvement, never seen that before!) with only gray and green colors, filled with the same generic thugs and factions (again, who cares about them?) and the same monsters from the first game.
    Shamblers? They just look like Bloaters.
    Stalkers? Advanced-infection Runners.
    Rat King? Bloater + Stalker fused together, how original!
    The cult Colossi! Male and Female, both using the same weapon and moves! Great game design here.

    The game is also very predictable.
    Everytime you have to go from point A to B, you see your destination in the long distance, and nothing really happens in between.
    They also abused stuck doors here. Let's push them and be prepared for an enemy ambush/QTE, or a noise that triggers the monsters.
    Enemies are also stupid af, you can do 90% of the game in stealth mode without firing a single bullet, unless the game forces you to do so.

    "Forces", yeah, the game forced me to play 28 hours to hope that something happened, but left me empty and disappointed.
    Thank you ND you have destroyed two of the most beautiful characters ever created in the last 10 years, and everything they tried to create.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I made an account just to write a review for this game omfg. First I’ll say what I liked. Awesome graphic. Very beauty setting. Awesome horsey. Now the bad. I played this game hoping for Ellie and Joel’s relationship to grow and for them to finally discuss the firefly stuff and naughty dog ruined it. Like obviously the game is set in a terrible post apocalyptic world with zombie like enemies so **** will always go down. But no one asked for these random ass characters from Seattle to come in? Literally no one asked for Abby? We wanted a growth story with Joel and Ellie not some bull**** story about revenge that has been told 90 million times already??? The whole game is stressful and made me cry the whole time? Like I get that it’s supposed to be an emotional tough world but the happy moments in the previous game were what made it so good. The last of us part 2 just is one terrible thing after another with no choice but to sit through it with the only good parts being the flashbacks with Joel. Idk naughty dog really trashed this story and characters. It’s just really sad. Like I know it’s a game but I felt like we all looked up to Joel because we felt the hurt when he lost his own daughter. Just to **** kill him when he’s become like a dad to another? Terrible writing. Like my own dad died two years ago and seeing Joel die is like reliving that memory so thank you naughtydog for that. Joel and Ellie deserved a better story where the enemies were just zombies and actual bad guys. Stop trying to make stories about revenge and stop making zombie apocalypse stories without emphasis on the actual zombies? It’s like his game was trying to be the walking dead tv series and we all know that went to shut the second it became more about enemy humans rather than enemy zombies.. Anyway the gameplay is good but everything else sucked… Expand

    Есть в ней конечно и некоторые проблемные места, за которые я скинул бы 1 бал, и поставил бы твердую 9ку. Но игру явно захейтили, так что в поддержку справедливости ставлю 10.

    This is my first review on a game so i doubt it will be taken with any weight but i have seen such poor reviews of the game and i personally cant understand why so this is my personal opinion.

    i will try and keep the spoilers to a minimum.

    i played through last of us 1 and the DLC as a recap and was charged up for the second one.
    so last of us part 2, to start with the graphics are amazing to look at on the ps4 pro at least, there are so many little things in the game that relate to the previous game so at the very beginning if you bother to take the time to look around you can see how much detail the devs put into it.

    Story wise, a big event happened which took me by surprise and the devs have done so well at capturing the emotion that even i felt like going the direction that she did. i will say at the time of this writing i have not completed the game so i cannot comment on the end of the game just yet but so far i am 13 hours into it and have not found any plot holes or major story issues so that is as far as i can comment..

    Game play wise, the AI are a lot smarter and i have never had an AI actually say sorry to me when they have got caught by the enemy so AI wise they flank you, move to find you, and change patrol paths which makes them more dangerous and unpredictable.
    There are some open world aspects to the game and i will say the pace of the game is slightly slower than i would like but i would say its not a big issue.
    The weapon customization is quite nice and it changes the look of the weapons slightly too which is rewarding.

    if you like exploring and learning about the world your in and get really into the story and environment then this is the game for you. if you want to run and gun this and just pay the bare minimum attention to the story then do not waste your money.

    The main cons i can see is
    1: the stagger, if you get shot or hit by more than one person it can make you stagger constantly which makes it almost impossible to get out of and this results in your death
    2: the dialogue is a bit few and far between during game play and fairly short dialogue at that which sucks but so far the cons are so much less than the pros.

    IN SUMMERY, i paid for the deluxe edition of this game and i have got more than i expected out of this game and still enjoying it now and will be doing a second play through once i have completed it so my personal opinion is this game is worth it.    … Expand

    Not so many stories make me feel like this. The game tells you a controversy story thought perfect gameplay. I thought a second part it was not necessary after finishing the first one. But now, I can't understand the last of us within part 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay and the mechanics of The Last of us 2 are pretty much what you would've expected. Some new features make it more dynamic than the previous game and although not very innovative it still works pretty well. Players who liked the last game will surely enjoy this one too. But all the sneaking and fighting was never the point of this franchise. It was the story. And herein lies the big problem. Be warned, there are massive spoilers up ahead.

    Joel's murder is staged in a way that we, the player, instantly share Ellie's longing for revenge. As we set out to confront his murderer, every action is driven by that desire and while being very brutal we have little compassion for the organization said murderer is part of. During her journey we begin to understand that Ellie will have to sacrifice her own well-being and emotional health in order to avenge Joel's death. The arch of tension is build up very nicely until the point of Ellie's confrontation with Abby. And then nothing. Just a gigantic cliffhanger. As we desperately want to see how the encounter ends we are thrown back three days just to play as Abby. And here is where, in my opinion, the game takes a very wrong turn.
    We experience Abby's own sad background story, find out Joel killed her father and are tangled up in an unconvincing love triangle. Abby starts to question her believes and changes from cold blooded killer to a caring person. She shows compassion towards her enemies and saves two children. And yet we couldn't care less. This is because from the very first minute we slip into her role, we see through Naughty Dog's blatant attempt to make us relate to her and to see more in her than just Joel's killer. Even worse, we feel lectured. It is as if the developers are teachers who are resolving a conflict by forcing us to understand our opponent's motives.
    Abby's crime is so heinous and leave us so shocked that we just don't care. As her story unravels piece by piece we get more and more frustrated as we can't build a connection with her but still have to play just to advance the plot. We understand and comprehend why she did what she did, we may even come to the conclusion that we would've done the same. But we still care to much about Ellie's loss. A few hours of gameplay as her main antagonist is not enough to forget that, let alone sympathize with Abby.
    Unfortunately this is so annoying, obvious and unconvincing that the experience is ruined beyond repair.
    Everyone old enough to play this game knows there are always two sides to the same coin. The message of the game is clear. The way it is presented, however, does not work and leads to a very frustrating and disappointing experience.    … Expand

Realmente ha conseguido su propósito, hacer que me dé cuenta que no hay héroes ni villanos, simplemente personas tratando de sobrevivir como pueden. Me ha parecido una historia realmente madura, y definitivamente no para todos los públicos, no es un simple juego de tiros, lleva muchas emociones detrás. Es uno de esos productos que, una vez lo terminas, te deja pensando en todo lo ocurrido, y, cuanto más lo analizas, más maravilloso te resulta, porque vas fijándote en más y más cosas.

    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.
