    Strong and independent women, and men are some suckers, it's **** Everyone constantly says that "the game is a masterpiece, and those who do not understand this are just stupid idiots." There is nothing special in this game. In this game, dumb artificial intelligence, the opponents do not have lateral vision, you stand a meter away from the person, but he does not see you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited all these years for a story about Joel and/or Ellie. That's why I bought the game. Had I known I would be playing as Abbie I would have not gotten it. I don't care about her side of the story. The more I played this the more I hated it. I will say the gameplay is fine but the story just pulls me out of it. Forcing me to play as Joel's murderer? Really? Who thought that would be fun or good or worth buying? And even at the end I still felt nothing for Abbie. Her side sucks. Only reason this game kinda playable is the graphics and gameplay. It was all for nothing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is the worst game in my game life. I really hoped that Joel and Ellie's happiness at TLOU 1.
    But reality is too harsh to understand Naughty Dog's philosophy. Naughty Dog destroyed and ruined all characteristics of the first game characters(Joel, Ellie, Tommy). And they were used to explain that Abby is a good woman. I don't want to know about Abby's past. I just watched Abby's behavior and wanted to kill her in all the game playing.
    Ending? Revenge is bad so, Abby can kill Joel but, Ellie, you should not take your revenge on her.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came into the game with an open mind. I did not expect to see a masterpiece based on the leaks (which I avoided in order to get a better feeling of the game), but I was still left disappointed. As a long fan of the series, I felt betrayed by the Naughty Dog team as they served a fan base a nothing sandwich. Joel being killed almost immediately into the game was not a good way to start. Joel’s actions before getting killed were even worse. Joel and Ellie were a dynamic duo who held a special place in almost every player’s heart. Joel killed for Ellie and Ellie would of done the same, but poor writing left Ellie emotionally defeated by not killing Lev and Abby at the end of the game. Ellie was left permanently injured, the same goes for Tommy. Jesse was killed in an anti-climatic way. Ellie to leave on her journey, risking her relationship with Dina and J.J, and not kill Abby and Lev was horrible writing. This game could of done better by sparing Joel, Jesse, Tommy, and Ellie. The pro-diversity cast, if executed properly, could not affect a game’a ratings. The forced diversity was obviously present throughout the game. It’s safe to say that most of the players did not like it one bit. As a progressive, it’s nice to see some representation in video games. Some. The writers should have done some more research and come to the conclusion that most of the game’s target audience do not share the same sentiments as the writers. The players came for a continuation of the story that left them amazed back in 2013 and the remastered version. Ellie’s sexuality was not her personality, Ellie was an adored character in the series because her character was executed properly. The same goes for Bill in TLOU. He was a gay man but his sexuality was not his personality and was not a major trait. (I did not even know Bill was a gay man until my 2nd play-through of the game because his sexuality did not matter because he was Bill). The game could have been better… Expand

    Es un juego largo y se agredece ya que los juegos de hoy dia no dan tanto tiempo de juego, por otra parte el juego es muy lento y esta lleno de cinematicas menos algunos momentos puntuales de accion la cual son muy escasos. Tambien he observado que depende en que zona estes la calidad del juego va cambiando.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's talk about this... I am impressed at the graphics, I am annoyed by the bugs, I feel despondent by your intentions. I truly support a female only lead, but you have to understand that this was just retarded. I refused to continue playing after Joel was murdered, I understand the hatred some characters had towards him, but seriously... Most of the people playing this game are adults and then you also find yourself asking, why??? through 60 percent of the game. I feel like critics have been paid to promote, honestly they say the same nonsense. This game is not artistic, it is traumatizing. You put us in a position where Joel made the sacrifice to keep his adopted child, then you hype us with lies, then you kill him early in the game. I mean do you need someone to write a better story?? Why not continue the game where Ellie is a child, then allow her to age with time and then at the end kill off Joel. You would have prepared us for something greater, instead you turned it into some silly trope of how twisted your mind can be. What happened to the cure? How does Abby know it was Joel who killed her father? It could have been any random dude or girl. Instead you point out cliche obvious mishaps to make us question tooooo many whyyyy'ssssss. First of all, what you are trying to prove is ridiculous. You take one notion, have your mind probably brainwashed in bed by another woman and then went full on women lead. Once again I support it, but this is a story, this is not your twisted mind we enjoy living in. Anyone can use a bluemovie script and turn it into an action tale. Do you get me? It is redundant. Let's talk about Abby and Ellie's relationship. The ending really gave me vibes of God Of War 2018, "The cycle ends here?" and yet you changed the ending... You should have played that game tooo many times or wished to be as successful in storytelling. This is where you made Abby and her sidekick to be like Kratos and his son. Slow clap. Muscular chick = Kratos. I truly saw what you did there. The personality and everything is a clear sign of Kratos ripoff. Now let's talk about Ellie. SHE WAS my favorite person. now she is just a sad tart who fails at accomplishing anything. You ruined a girl, turned her into a man, humiliated her by losing two fingers. I swear, I have never seen this chemistry before. Being one of the most anticipated games, to the most disappointing. it was at a 6/10, but the more I think about how you secretly sneak in politics and sexist tropes, AS well as steal from different stories. It goes to a Zero out of ten very easy. I swear 2020 is the year of disappointments. You truly made no justice to characters who did not deserve this fate. So let me point out how you could have made this better.
    1. Ellie should be a child and grow until where Joel dies.
    2. Abby SHOULD be introduced where it is revealed that her father was killed by Joel or where she loses her mother to the mushroom nonsense, all while Joel is explaining to his brother what he did.
    3. Ellie and joel should lose their bond as time passed, due to trust issues, turning her into a rebel and whatnot.
    4. Joel should be forgiven and allow that relationship we saw at the first game to rekindle.
    5. Abby should be brought back for players to see all the pain she is going through and in the end of that chapter find out that is was Joel all along.
    6. Ellie explores her relationship with her love interest, moving away from Joel.
    7. That dance scene where Ellie kisses her girlfriend and then get the start of this crappy TLOU 2 to happen.
    8. Abby finds people to hunt Joel with her. (THIS IMMEDIATELY WILL PUT PLAYERS ON THAT HOPE TO PROTECT JOEL)
    9. Play as Ellie, not ABBY during the scene where they realized they were ambushed, you know the one where Joel dies.
    10. End the game where Ellie is left heartbroken and Abby escapes.
    You see... it's to f-ing easy. But no, you guys are special right? I need to encase my TLOU and the sequel to teach younger generations how not to ruin people.
    Once again, hands down the best graphics, sometimes mediocre gameplay and pathetic story already telling us that Ellies time is done. Now is the time for a female god of war rip-off to enter. What happened to you guys? Seriously is that what we will have to expect in the future? This is not artistic, it is a disappointment. People who play this game without understanding the previous game has the right to like it. People who loved the first game and who would have done the same as Joel, DEFINITELY, hates this. No one has the same answer, although I wish for you to know my answer has been spoken. I have never complained over a video game, NEVER. I would always find a silver lining, but this needs to f-ing stop. I am getting tired of these nonsense. Why not just make a simple rpg where we can create our own character? Or perhaps choose our enemies or whatever. Don't rub your pathetic ideology into our faces. It's a game, not personal agendas. Moron.    … Expand

    there is no awkward things. world is well expanded and new characters and new factions are fascinating.
    and i know there are many negative opinions for this game. but i believe many of those based on political thought. i haven’t found any critical flaw of this game

You can feel and become Ellie. Also, this game makes you think about the story, about all the decisions and you realize no one is perfect in real life, why would everyone be perfect in video games?

    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.
