    One of the best games ever made wronged by the fragile masculinity of oppressive gamers who do not accept anything outside the curve, even if it is done with the best of intentions and is something so necessary.

    Few companies can show this magnitude of disrespect for their own masterpiece - it's insulting.

    Every single interesting characteristic regarding Joel and Ellie has been stripped in a cheap attempt to turn fans against them and sympathise with the contrived antagonist, who you play as for most of the game. Of course you have amazing visuals and environments and fantastic soundtrack, but    Few companies can show this magnitude of disrespect for their own masterpiece - it's insulting.

    Every single interesting characteristic regarding Joel and Ellie has been stripped in a cheap attempt to turn fans against them and sympathise with the contrived antagonist, who you play as for most of the game. Of course you have amazing visuals and environments and fantastic soundtrack, but then again - subpar and monotonous gameplay, genuinely insulting to fans of the previous title and a perfect example of clichéd, frustrating, uninteresting and quite frankly abysmal storytelling sent on a completely unrelated tangent to the previous title. Joel and Ellie don't actually interact in the present storyline at all, only through flashbacks - which are the only decent sections of this mess, so fans of the dynamic from the previous game will be severely disappointed.

    Everything built and developed from it's master-crafted predecessor is thrown away in this horribly written, needlessly grim waste of time.    … Expand

    About a hate - it is completely justified. Of course, there is a concept that the creator can do with his creation whatever he wants. But on the other hand, when a franchise has a large fan base, it is completely dependent on the love of its fans (Star Trek, Star Wars, Mass Effect, The Witcher, etc.).

    The game has a lot of silver linings in it: gameplay, atmosphere, graphics, cinematography - that's all on the top level.
    But the story - is just a horrible roller coaster of not bad and complete **** moments, which you want to forget right after seeing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite the game being significantly leaked a month before its release and the review bombing on this website, I still kept my preorder and received it on day one. With over 10 hours put into the game so far I can say that it is absolutely amazing, and a very addicting title. Let me break this down into an organized way. Graphics are up first, and boy are they amazing, especially the lighting. Oh my god, the lighting is beautiful, especially on the base ps4. The rest of the game is spectacular too, especially when you get to the second day of Seattle, the wildlife is awe dropping, and i have taken several screenshots because I am so amazed. Next up is sound, and it is very much similar if not better than that of the first title. Gameplay: a lot of aspects are taken from the first game and blended perfectly with elements from this title. Aspects from the first game are approved upon, and the addition of prone mode allows for the stealth aspect, arguably one of the most important ones, really prominent and amazing.

    Story so far: Ok, so Joel dies, I've known that since the unfortunate leaks and jerks on the internet. Man, this scene was intense, very gruesome, I had goosebumps and was speechless. The death was surprising but isn't really shocking given the context o the story and the events from the previous title.

    Characters: Dina is someone that I thought would be the 'annoying one', in the sense of always being cute and flirty with Ellie, but she is actually a useless and nice addition to the story line.. except when we find out she's pregnant. The way it was implemented into the story was kinda random and sorta poor writing in my opinion. The flashbacks from a few years ago with Ellie and Tommy/Joel is also a nice addition, especially for Tommy, a very under developed character in the context of the first game. Jesse is also a nice character that I fully expected to have beef with Ellie dating his former GF, but he doesn't, and respects their relationship, which makes his character that much more enjoyable.

    Weapons: The weapons system is 100 times better in this game than the first one. As opposed to getting the best weapons towards the end of the game, you are able to get really good ones pretty early on in parts of Seattle, making taking out enemies, especially the shamblers, much more easy and enjoyable.

    Workbench: a really stupid thing for me to go crazy over but I really enjoy the overall improvements and designs of the workbench, and being able to see your character actually upgrade and change parts of the weapon, as opposed to the lazy, fixed camera that most developers will have in titles.

    So good job, Naughty Dog, this is an excellent title so far, and I highly recommend people to play it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game seems to me that the graphics and the physics are impressive although ... in the story there are very important things that do not make sense.
    In the first part, I loved playing it (Ellie part) but in the Abby part I found it too boring and pointless because whoever wanted to play with the person who killed a character as dear as Joel and is practically half the game apart .

    Leaving aside the end and the part of abby I think it would be an excellent 10/10 game, but the story had very good potential and it could have been the whole game entertaining and fun.
    This game does not deserve all the hate it receives because it is a game with excellent graphics and very good physics.

    Потрясающе.

    Что касается заданной темы, то раскрыта она великолепно, и работает она как раз не вопреки, а благодаря довольно длинному хронометражу, который кто-то посчитает минусом, но по другому бы просто не выстрелило. Это возможно впервые так случается, когда подойдя к завершению действительно чувствуешь себя отвратительно, опустошенным, со сбитым моральным компасом и своими руками делаешь то, чего тебе делать уже не хочется. И финальный аккорд по до предела натянутым нервам звучит так пронзительно, что меня просто разорвало.
    Это того стоило, это не то чего я хотел, не то чего многие ждали, но это безусловно смелое, взрослое, сильное эмоциональное произведение. Да, с довольно простыми темами из которых ключевой я бы поставил всё таки не месть, а прощение, обыгранной уже множество раз, но подана она исключительно мастерски. Это достойно быть увиденным, вне зависимости от оценок. Моё почтение Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este juego se merece el 4,7 que tiene. Nunca vi una secuela con una historia tan pretenciosa como lo es esta, es una lástima por el departamento de arte, banda sonora, programadores y gameplay, porque todo su esfuerzo cae en saco roto. También es vergonzoso y ridículo la manipulación de la prensa antes y después del lanzamiento, vendiendo el juego como la segunda venida de Cristo y descalificando a los inconformes con la historia (independientemente de la sexualidad de los personajes) como "homofobicos" (Ej: Alvaro Castellano)
    El argumento general que plantea Tlou 2 es bueno (no original, pero bueno), y es ejecutado de forma desastrosa y carente de sentido, reemplazando el realismo por el gore en donde se nota demasiado las conveniencias que el guión toma para que ocurran las cosas.
    Comienzo a enumerar los puntos que me desconforman:
    1) La manipulación de ND: Vendieron el Videojuego diciendo que solo jugaríamos con Ellie, donde Joel lo acompañaría en la travesía, luego la censura y el Cruch, si queres dar un mensaje de empatía y perdon, sugiero que empieces con tus propios trabajadores.
    2) La muerte de Joel: Medio internet ya explico lo absurda y conveniente que es la muerte de este personaje, es conveniente, vagamente escrita, y un truco barato y de lo más vomitivo que vi hacer a cualquier personaje principal, solo para que pueda avanzar la historia
    3) La inclusión LGBT: A NADIE LE IMPORTA, TODOS SABÍAMOS QUE ELLIE ERA LESBIANA DESDE EL PRIMER JUEGO, DEJEN DE TAPAR NUESTRA INCONFORMIDAD CON LA ESCUSA BARATA DE "SON HOMOFOBICOS"
    5) 10 hs con Abby: Neil Druckmann gana el premio a la forma menos original de tratar de hacernos empatizar con un personaje, forzado es poco.
    4) El final: Sumamente contradictorio, sin sentido y manipulador... pero no pienso perder mi tiempo con eso, solo voy a dejar en claro el mensaje del juego:
    -El mensaje Segun Neil Druckmann: "La venganza es mala"
    -El mensaje real: Abby completa su venganza (en una escena vomitiva) y todo le sale a pedir de boca, termina como un personaje redimido, nunca aprende de sus errores y al final es perdonada para marcharse con la única persona que quiere más que a nada. Ellie no se venga porque... flashback de 3 segundos y... todo perdonado, además pierde sus dedos, su motivo para luchar y vivir, toda su gente, todo el esfuerzo fue en vano (siendo que mato a una embarazada y cientos de personas, además de torturar, osea, en el primer juego mato a una persona a machetazos). MENSAJE: "Vengarse es bueno, asegúrate de no dejar a nadie vivo mi rey", PATÉTICO.
    Todos mis mas grandes respetos a los departamentos de ND por su magistral trabajo, excepto para el departamento de guión.    … Expand

    I can't give this game any higher because the utterly poor story writing destroys the atmosphere I had built by the time I reached the end of the prologue. Beloved characters with deep personalities and backgrounds built up by the first game were utterly disrespected and deliberately written in a way that made them perform completely out of character solely to be used as a plot device and discarded for the sake of a new plot and new characters to be forced in too quickly. Many of the new characters are shallowly built with bare minimum character development. I have very little sympathy with the new protagonist because of the way they were introduced especially and they continue to act in a way that in no way makes me empathetic with thier cause, no matter what happens to thier companions, they just come across as a psychopath to me. I understand the message the game wants me to see but it ends up unbalanced and lost in a convoluted plot. The eventual climax and ending of the game is left poorly resolved and unsatisfying, no doubt to keep the story open to a third installment. Had it been layed out differently with some changes, this story could have had the potential to be enjoyable and impactful, but it just felt like a long miserable slog. Being a huge fan of the first game and having high hopes for a game that hopefully continued the development and relationships of our most beloved characters I was shocked by this game and tried my best to give it a chance to redeem itself with good reasoning, but it's heartbreaking to wait so long for a sequel and have it turn out so bad. I'll unlikely play this game again and mostly disregard it, and just return to playing the first for yet another time.    … 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.
