    When I bought the game, I expected absolutely not what I got. In all the videos, we were trying to convince that the game will be about our favorite characters, about their journey and revenge for the girl Ellie.

But it turned out that my favorite character is killed at the very beginning, and then they make me play for his killer and try to prove to me that she is the same ordinary person with a hard life. After passing the game, I was left with an unpleasant, depressing feeling. If I had known, I would never have bought this game. I want to get from the games fun and not to look at the grey morality… Expand

    How the mighty naughty dog has fallen.the first last of us is a masterpiece.gameplay,graphic and music in the game is still great but the story is so depressing .it's like eating an expensive food expecting to have a complete satisfaction but instead left wanted.too much propaganda in a single game.a game was supposed to be fun.what's the point in gaming if it is as depressing as real life?

    Jugué este juego y lo estaba disfrutando mucho, pero me parece una falta de respeto el trato que le dieron a los personajes. La basura woke no tiene nada que ver, simplemente es la mala narrativa y como trataron la historia lo que duele.

    Didn't like the first one, it was just a clumsy attempt at showing that games can be "more" than just Mario and colourful gimmicks. Gameplay was meh and less varied than Uncharted, and the stories and plots directly copy pasted from movies and books, just so they can say "look games can be mature too!". Did love the DLC though.

    For some reason, I got interested in the second one though.    Didn't like the first one, it was just a clumsy attempt at showing that games can be "more" than just Mario and colourful gimmicks.

    For some reason, I got interested in the second one though. And oh boy, what a let down. Not only is the game more bland and boring than the first, despite having more options in combat and otherwise, but the story is even worse and more uninspired. Its also very filled with characters you dont give a F about. First one had a great cast, this one, not at all.
    This is just a try-hard gritty story about revenge not being worth it, that beats you over the head with how bad revenge is.

    That it wasn't predictable is the only thing I can say for it. It really was a waste of money and time, not just for me as a consumer, but also for dev. But of course critics love it, because they jump at any opportunity to prove that games can be mature too. TLOU2 isn't mature though. It's a hamfisted copy of comic and movie tropes that tries way too hard to be relevant.
    If at least teh gameplay was more like their Uncharted games with having more variations constantly...    … Expand

Gameplay is ok to begin with... but it does get very VERY repetitive about 10 of the 25 hours in. The beautiful development of Ellie and Joel's character arcs have been butchered in favour of a new character and its merry band of absolute cringe, who are all unlikable, poorly written and grossly forced towards the player. The story has several unjustified moments that either make no sense or are unnecessary. The ending in particular made me laugh so very hard and ironically, out of pure pain and agony over what I just witnessed. Neil Druckmann should not only be fired from Naughty Dog but banned from writing stories for any other game, film or TV series. If you loved the first game, do yourself a massive favour and stay well away from this disasterpiece. Not only will it ruin the franchise for you, it'll ruin your faith in humanity.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm sorry but this game just becomes a chore to play. By the end of the game I was just forcing myself to finish it. Gameplay is honestly not much different than Last of us. We can jump now and lay prone. Whoopie! The graphics in the game are AMAZING for the hardware. The one bad thing for me was the story! From the jumping back and forth in time between Abby and Ellie to the weird jumps in time. The game just feels like a complete mess. Play last of us 1 and maybe pick this up on sale.… Expand

    The story. Jesus Christ the story... To put it nicely it ruins the first game, just takes a huge poop on it and makes it irrelevant essentially. Rife with boring and unlikable characters. A dumb "woke" plot trying to force the message down your throat that murder is... Bad I guess? That revenge doesn't get you anywhere? An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind? You know, basic platitudes that you learn in kindergarten. Basically it throws the characters and the reasons you loved the first game in the garbage, all in the name of some social agenda. It's moronic and pandering. The only reason Naughty Dog games are great is because their characters and story, and they *really* dropped the ball here, to an *EMBARRASSING* extent. 7 years of work on this game for nothing, 7 years of hype and waiting for nothing. Save yourself the $60, there are a lot of games coming out this year that will 100% be worth the money.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. Many people loved the first one, and all too often, a sequel just shows that fans and developers aren't on the same page. That's okay. The gameplay loop is great, the graphics are great and the level design is fantastic. The AI is simply good, the story is serviceable, and some of the characterizations of some of the people provide an empathetic connection.

    However, this game makes me sick. The overly gratuitous sex scene is one thing that I may not have appreciated, but then, at times, relentless over the top goreplay is too much. Now that I've gone all the way through, I will simply say that this was a torture porn and gore show. The story, while not bad, does nothing to deserve the torture and outright evil things you do as Abby.

    I like the first game, wouldn't call myself a fan, but it was fine enough. This game tried to play the "art" game, but it's really just a case of somebody getting off on what should be an AO rating.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La historia es innecesariamente sangrienta y violenta. Traen de vuelta a personajes muy queridos solo para hacerles pasar un infierno. Y, ¿para qué? Lo único que movía la historia es las ansias de venganza de Ellie y del propio jugador, y al final no se ven recompensadas.
    La historia del primer The Last of Us es tan aclamada porque a pesar de que el mundo en el que se desarrolla, nos enseña que siempre puede haber esperanza y que el sol brilla entre las nubes. Aqui, los pocos momentos optimistas que hay se dan en flashbacks y poco más. Matan a personajes queridos para dar paso a otros nuevos peor desarrollados.
    Las actuaciones de los actores son fántasticas, aunque el guión sea tan malo.
    Respecto al gameplay, es una evolución del primero pero se sigue sintiendo un poco ortópedico.
    Gráficamente es espectacular, lo mejor de Ps4 y a la par de Red Dead Redemption 2. Las animaciones de los personajes están logradísimas.
    En definitiva, si te gustó la historia y los personajes del primero, no juegues a este, solo sirve para pasar un mal rato muy largo.    … Expand

    Gameplay & Graphics are fantastic. Story & Dialogue are atrocious though. Disrespectful to established characters, & the new characters were not compelling enough to win me over. I absolutely hated the dialogue, it was so forced and cringey. Overblown game that over stayed it's welcome. Any time I started to have fun, the story ruined it for me.

In an attempt to be deep and prove video games are art they instead made something without any meaning besides shock and subversion. I would be more angry if I hadn't already seen so many of my other favorite series ruined by the same thinking.… Expand

    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]
