    I honestly dont understand why all the hate for this game, most reviews just say 'bad characters' 'awful story' but not seeing any clear evidence as to what makes this game THAT bad?! The characters, acting and cinematics are excellent and I can feel what they feel when in control.

Everybody hating the story can't accept it for what it is, I wouldn't be surprised if the people who are hating the game are the same people who thought the last season of Game of Thrones was 'epic' or that Star Wars the Last Jedi was 'better than Empire' In my opinion, if you dont have something nice to say or constructive then don't bother...yes the story might not be exactly what you want...fine...but at least give credit where credit is due and all the 0s dont offer a true reflection!… Expand

    Perfeito, o enredo não tem pontas soltas, conta uma história incrível que te faz refletir, jogabilidade e gráficos insanos.

    The story of the game is very forced and bad. They simply endeavored to displease the players who waited seven years to follow the sequence. Unfortunately, innovations cannot save the bad story created for the game.

    I can’t believe I wasted 80 dollars on a game with the most disgusting story ever created. Do not waste your money buying this **** if you wanna see the game just watch the gameplay on YouTube, this **** aint worth spending money. The storyline will literally break down all your hopes and smash them into dirt, neil cockmen has lied to us we’ve been tricked into buying a lie.

    Anything below a 9/10 for this game is just an entitled gamer wanting attention. Last of Us 2 is a masterpiece and must be played. Disregard the 30K crybabies that can't get over the direction ND went with the storytelling.

    Naughty Dog has made it again. One of the best videogames I've ever played, without a doubt one of the games of the generation.
    More and better than the first in almost every aspect. Technically it is sublime, a new ceiling in the industry at all levels. It's long -more than 30 hours in the first playthrought-, and the characters and the plot catches you -unless you are a hater oc-.

    "Such a Shame"

    The original Last of Us was a great game. Alas, The Last of Us part 2 is... not. When you set out to make a game that's controversial and divisive -as opposed to inclusive- this should not come as too much of a surprise. But "it's a bad game" isn't very helpful. Let's see if we can be more specific. I have 5 categories scored 0 to 2 and a personal experience    "Such a Shame"

    The original Last of Us was a great game. Alas, The Last of Us part 2 is... not. When you set out to make a game that's controversial and divisive -as opposed to inclusive- this should not come as too much of a surprise. But "it's a bad game" isn't very helpful. Let's see if we can be more specific.

    I have 5 categories scored 0 to 2 and a personal experience modifier that, depending on my experience playing can add or subtract up to 2, save that it can't reduce a score to 0 or raise it to 10.
    0= unacceptable
    1= acceptable
    2= excellent

    SOUND: 1. Nothing to write home about but no specific complaints. Nothing that stood out, nothing that caught my attention or that I found memorable or especially well-executed. Just... acceptable.

    GRAPHICS: 2. It's no Horizon Zero Dawn or Ghosts of Tsushima but it's still visually amazing and has a lot of character. As much as it annoys me given how awful the... actually that's another category. We'll get to that next. It looks really good.

    STORY: 0. And that's only because my scoring system does not allow anything lower. Everything else can be excellent but if you have a crappy story you'll still have a crappy game. I don't want to go into any specifics here because there's so much to hate that if I started I'd never get the review finished- but it suffices to say that it's amateurish, unpolished and makes very poor narrative choices. And I'm being as complimentary here as I can. The whole thing leaves me with a bad taste in my soul and -as a writer myself, not to mention a fan of the first game- highly offended.

    CONTROLS: 1. Essentially the same from the first game without any noticeable improvements. They work, but the issues the first game had were never corrected.

    EXECUTION: 0. This category describes how all the elements of the game come together. Remember how earlier I said that you can have great sound, great graphics, great controls and all that but if you have a crappy story you have a crappy game? Case in point. All the mechanics work, the sound is there and the graphics are gorgeous- but the story is utter garbage and therefore so is the game.

    PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: -2. And, once again, this is because the system I use will not allow me to subtract more. Where do I begin here? The 'rubbing-your-face-in-it' homosexuality was a huge turn-off for me. If it has been tastefully done it would be different but... that wasn't the case here. The fate of a certain central character from the first game is unforgivably cheap and unsatisfying, the idea of intentionally making a game to be divisive rather than inclusive rubs me the wrong way, the ham-fisted approach to storytelling... well, we talked about that earlier. And, frankly, the way Naughty Dog unethically and intentionally weaponized false copyright claims (though that obviously wasn't the game's fault) would have skewed my feelings against the game even if I would otherwise have absolutely *loved* it. Oh yes, and then there's the whole agenda-pushing thing. But enough of that. Let's calculate the final score.

    4 before my personal experience, which takes it down to 2. And, I wish to add, that number does not accurately communicate the contempt I have for this game's story. If it weren't for that, I'd be able to score this game a solid 7 to 8. Such a shame.    … Expand

    No entiendo en que momento se les ocurrió que era buena idea acabar con lo que los fans esperábamos. La continuación de la historia de nuestros dos personajes. Está bien que agregen más personajes peor no que caguen lo que los fans pedimos a gritos

    The only possible explanation for ppl rating this game so highly is that they didnt care at all for tlou, or are forcing themselves to enjoy this game, because if they don't, they're gonna be 'homophobic'. Everything the first game built was completely thrown into the garbage can, it's that simple.

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
