    Naughtydog spits in the face of their characters and of fans. What a terrible showing of what could have been a good game.

    The game has an extremely bland story and panders almost exclusively to sjw rhetoric. I would highly ecourge anyone with a smidge of intelligence to avoid this game at all costs. Don't believe the mainstream game reviewers they are all paid by sony and are too afraid to be viewed in a negative light by the company. The game is not worth anyone's money.

    This game is pure trash. Imagine if Tony Stark held the Infinity Stones in his hand and decided to not snap and Thanos was like "k, bye".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, so much controls for the reviews huh. I've been wanting to post my review for days but it didn't get submitted through as i've been giving it 2 stars. Apparently metacritics only receives positive reviews, the negative ones will be deleted. Review bombing they said, but only fake positive reviews get to stay and negative reviews are getting deleted. It's really unfair for those ppl like me who wanted/had to voice out our opinions about how bad the game was as our opinions were getting rejected or deleted or treated as review bombing. Guess we can never trust metacritic reviews anymore, its all fake and well-controlled. So disappointed.

    Well, apparently all the companies weren't being honest with their reviews (or maybe they're paid to do it). But what matters is the reviews from the customers or users themselves, we are the ones who bought the game and played it. As u can see, there's a big rating gaps between the company and the users. Some ppl who are defending the game will say the reviews were getting bombed, but from what I see, there are a tons of fake positive reviews that are written by the "users" as well. Just because the rating is so low doesn't mean the ratings are fake. We are just giving an honest review about what we think the game is worth for.

    We hated this sequel not because of we are some kind of narrow minded or homophobic. It doesn't have anything to do with that. We don't care about the sexuality of the characters or whether the characters are trans or whatsoever. We just simply do not like the story lines itself, its utterly trash as compared to the part 1. Well, one of the things that I DISLIKED the most on the game is the Joel's quick death. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying im opposed to the Joel's death, it was just so badly plotted that the main protagonist had to die in the first 2 hours of gameplays (we didn't even get to play much of him). It was an UNDESERVING death IMO. This makes everyone hated Abby so much and started making fun of her appearance by saying she's trans who has unnatural enormous big arms (the only way to unleash the rage upon her). Whats even worse is we were getting forced to play as her in the later of the game after what she'd done to Joel and Jesse for another 1/2 of the gameplay which is equivalent of 10 or more hours like WTH nobody is interested to know her pathetic back stories anyway. This sequel felt like a filler to me, everything is so dragged out. Especially the Abby's part where she wanted to find Owen who apparently turned against WLF, then trying to do some good deeds by saving Lev and Yara who we didnt even care about, beating Ellie up and back to finding Firefly. Every new characters in this sequel is just like random people on the street who you'd nvr remember them, none of the new characters have bonded with us like Joel and Ellie did in the first part. Maybe the new only character i sorta cared about was Jesse, the rest is just meh. At first i didn't even know who Danny, Mel, Leah, Nora, Manny was. Every time had to go back to the scene where Joel getting beating up scene to see their face clearly. None of them were memorable, they just faded away like that. This has already proven the game had failed to tell the story and its poorly executed. The ending was the worst, where Ellie ended up losing everything she had, Joel, Dina, JJ, Jesse, and she cant even play her guitar which was the only thing that made her felt connected to Joel because she lost 2 fingers fighting Abby face to face meanwhile Abby gets away with Lev and live happily. It just drives me crazy to think about it after everything Ellie had been through everything, killed everyone who got in the way, losing her friend on her revenge trip and ended up deciding to save Abby and let go of her. What's the logic behind this. I dont get it. The game is called as "The Last of Us" for a reason, its all about Joel and Ellie and this sequel decided to break everything into pieces. Speechless.

    I remember the first part was a masterpiece and now it's ruined by the part 2 thanks to NaughtyDog and Neil. How i wish the game ended in part 1 and part 2 was never happened. The only thing that impressed me was the graphic designs, the stunning sceneries. Gotta give it to those employees who had put their heart & soul into it. It was such a shame seeing one of my favourite game of all time getting ruined like that.

    P.S I've never created an account before to write a review for a game, but i did it for this game cause i was so entirely pissed off by this crap.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game isn't nearly as good as the first one. Joels death was cruel and people aren't complaining about that he died, they are complaining about the way he died. They advertised Joel in their trailers and he died 2 hours in. Meanwhile Abby was barely shown in the trailer and you are forced to play a character you hate for about 10 hours. I call this false advertIsement. The flashback scenes are really out of place and feels like they just edited them in, in the last second. The characters that die, barely get mentioned after they die. It is like they forgot that they ever existed. They are trying to make the player like abby and feel bad for her but it really isn't working at all. The ending was horrible, I tought FINALLY ABBY IS GOING TO DIE... but no. She gets to live after she bit ellies fingers. The reason to why she got to live was because Ellie got a flashback about Joel. That's literally the reason..… Expand

    Me gustó muchísimo y actualmente es uno de mis favoritos, hacia tiempo que un juego no me trasmitía tanto al jugarlo y que al terminarlo me dejará una sensación de vacío enorme.
    Aparte de la narrativa, la jugabilidad, físicas y música son increíbles. Es uno de los mejores juegos de la generación, un broche de oro para terminar de cerrar la generación de ps4.
    Lo recomiendo mucho.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pure dumpster fire, and an insult to the fans. Having seen what this "sequel" came to be makes me think that this practice should be illegal. This isn't a sequel. It might be a spin-off, it might be a fanfic, but it certainly isn't a sequel. It took the two main characters from the previous title, used their faces and names, yet stripped them of all of their traits, personality and characteristics, and for what? A typical "bittersweet" story? A "there's no good or bad, just different perspectives" ending? Social activism? Truly deplorable. The writer should be fired and be forced to forever be remembered as someone who attempted to rip people off, by promising to deliver a continuation to a story that was adored by many, and instead seizing the opportunity to virtue signal.… Expand

    If you are fed up with progressive sermons in your life, fed up with them thinking badly of you just because you are a man or sympathizing with them, then this game is not for you. And if you had a great love for the characters and the story of the previous game then you will be sick.

The narrative of enduring such a bitter environment in a somehow nonetheless wholesome relationship is immediately destroyed with the death of the original protagonist Joel. The only thematic concept or idea touched upon in the game is revenge, and if murder can be justified, or understood in certain circumstances. The story shifts from the wholesome relationship that developed in the first game, one that was ominously beautiful, although tinged with lingering bitterness, and opened many questions in the end. The relationship was relatable, and displayed how beautiful the manifestation of human affection can be between two characters who are otherwise sharply contrasted in their dispositions, and character. I cannot even mention the agenda the game pushes down your throat without people thus declaring all of my opinions null, and titling me a "bigot". Hey, remember the first game, in which Bill was gay? And how in the DLC Ellie had a lesbian relationship with Riley? I loved those games. Want to know why, because the characters, and actions meaningfully connected to the wholesome relationships portrayed in the first game, and developed different thematic ideas that the player could question. The second game doesn't do that, and it barely strays from the concept of revenge. They threw in a flimsy ending to feign a moral high-ground, and character development from Ellie -- that'd she'd grown from the violence she was inclined to. This is ridiculous from a narrative perspective. She'd never been inclined to violence, or willing to commit violence with a subsequent clear conscience. She'd broken down when talking to Joel near the hospital, following the giraffe scene; exclaiming that she felt that she should in fact die for "Everything we've been through -- everything that I've done." Remember the scene in which the AMV shot down the two civilians with the operators of the AMV looting the people, to which Ellie subsequently expressed remorse at not being able to help them? Remember when she'd saved Joel and said she'd felt sick. Think about that. She felt sick even knowing that what she was doing was saving his life. With the blossoming relationship with loose ends that needed to be tied now so detestably stripped in the second game, they had to touch upon revenge, and introduce different characters to fill the place (that left even greater plot-holes and logical gaps within the procession of the story). Joel, and Ellie's convoluted, and still relatable dispositions were stripped to more base reactions, and responses in the story that stripped their seemingly vivid personal aspects to carry on such a poorly constructed narrative. Ellie was never inclined to violence, even after a traumatic event (as after the Winter chapter with David upon almost being raped, she'd still never felt inclined to carry out a brutal mission for revenge. She did kill her attacker, and one could claim with excessive force, but she'd immediately regretted it, and demonstrated growth afterwards). They completely changed her character to fit such a tired and shallow plot, made Joel act in contrast to his decades of experience surviving against any threats, falsely advertised the game by implying that Joel would be around for a substantial period of time, and tries to virtue signal by throwing in what is assumedly a transgender antagonist (claim that those who dislike the game are transphobic, or homophobic when the game portrays a trans girl as the genuine antagonist/villain in the story. Have fun working out that paradox). Ellie goes on a brutal mission, killing multiple people now, just for her to once again at the end demonstrate that "oh killing/revenge = bad" as if that's a valid conclusion, and sufficient character development when that concept had been expressed a multiplicity of times in the first game. People wanted the relationship between father and daughter, and the rich characters. They completely missed the mark in this laughable sequel. My advice: watch the flashback segments on Youtube, they're the only redeeming narrative developments in the story, and consider those short segments the epilogue of the first game. They had to have paid the prominent figures who reviewed the game a lot to try and justify giving the game a 10/10, and putting it on the same scale as the first game, and as amazing products such as God of War 4. I wanted to believe it was prejudice against the game, and concepts that caused such a surplus of negativity. It isn't. The game is genuinely that horrid. Save yourself the $60, and the time, and steer clear from this game. I am forgetting that this game existed, and will live off of the first game, and the DLC, and maybe the flashback segments. Neil Druckmann should be fired after such a miserable destruction of a beloved story.… Expand

I am sure there are people out there who will love it for whatever reasons they want to justify, but frankly I can't recommend this one, especially if you were a huge fan of the characters in the first game and don't want a story that wants to rub your face in contrivances. I would love to have seen what someone like Amy Hennig could have come up with, but it appears Naughty Dog is well past their glory days. Just such a disappointment.… Expand

    O jogo não peca em questão de gráficos e jogabilidade que é parecida com o primeiro com novas adições. A história tem uma grande base nos sentimentos humanos e em como uma história pode ter 2 lados diferentes, fazendo não haver heróis ou vilões no mundo de TLoU e com um ótimo desenvolvimento dos personagens. Simplesmente magnífico.

    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.
