    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing graphics, sound and gameplay but the story is just a big pile of dog sh!t, spoiler ahead......

    1st fked up part: 2 fking hrs into the game and the most beloved character from the first game got killed disrespectfully
    2nd fked up part: play as the mother fker who've just butchered Joel
    3rd fked up part: in the end, somehow Ellie spared the life of that fker after a few flashback of Joel and ended up losing 2 fingers
    so basically, what the hell did we do the whole game?    … Expand

The story s**ks! Charecters do strange things and you will say to yourself: why? And no answer. No answer to a single question. A complete story failure. This 95 is only for gameplay, graphics, sound and etc. The story is 0 or at last 3 from 10. This game dosen't deserve 0 but I am giving it show the anger of such a failure.… Expand

    Just a terrible story... I can’t believe the writing in this game, it’s terrible and boring. Let alone the story is so inconsistent in comparison to the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The main reason why this game is appealing is most likely due to its beautiful graphics and the nostalgia players feel when playing as Ellie. Joel, the beloved protagonist from the first game, dies in the first two hours in a pathetic way. Not only does Joel die, but the purpose of the story is to paint Joel as the antagonist who killed an innocent doctor just trying to do his job. Completely disregarding the fact that in order to develop a cure, the doctors had to kill Ellie, someone Joel viewed as his own child. Naughty Dog tried to get us to empathize with Abby, the daughter of the murdered doctor who died trying to kill young Ellie to develop a vaccine, by making gamers play as her for the last 14 hours of the game. This is an attempt to make gamers view Ellie as the antagonist, because she killed many of Abby's friends in an attempt to avenge Joel. Ellie was simply trying to attack those who were involved in Joel's murder, in order to reach abby, his killer. The goal of the latter half of the game was to humanize Abby, the one dimensional shallow character who was created in order to illustrate that revenge is bad no matter what the circumstances. The only way this game will even be remotely redeemable is if they add a multi-player mode. It seems that the main goal of the last of us 2 was to create a story that was politically correct enough to appeal to video game journalists, not the diehard fans of the first game. Truly disappointing.… Expand

I managed to avoid all spoilers and therefore experienced the game as it was intended, the two but twists were shocking to me and initially I was angry and upset but by the end of the game my opinion had completely changed. It's a magnifying glass on senseless violence we do in video games and it actually makes you think that all these people we kill have families. If everyone sets a revenge course after losing a friend or loved one where does it end? What's the true cost? Naughty dog have produced another masterpiece.

    I truly feel sorry for all the people who hated on this game because it's a gay character or a woman, they are missing the point entirely. This makes my top 5 video games of all time list.    … Expand

    The game has a complex plot that will make many cry. Fans of part 1 may not like it, but this is a story to be expected. The plot is very strong, I really want to see part 3 of the game.

I'm not saying the game is bad, however, the marketing and the articles I see online about it are are a bit infuriating since most of them do not seem to care about the game per se.

    One thing, most game developers that "try to be inclusive" seem to miss is that there have been strong female protagonists Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Nier, Metroid, Horizon, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and queer/trans characters in video games with options to romance them for decades.

    This "woke" approach is nothing new, nothing special and gamers do not care or want to be represented in any way in a game. What Naughty Dog did was a small inclusion of a group of people yet the game's makerting seems to revolve around the support to the LGBTQ+ community. Gamers don't really care if a character is straight/gay/trans/bi or something else, they care for a story and character development, much the same in the way of a book or movie.

    There are books or movies that leave you empty after you finish them, you're not always satisfied with the end but the problem here different. The feeling is quite similar to Game of Thrones' season 8 Deus Ex Machina that ignored character development to come up to an easy conclusion to end it all.

    We were expecting another harrowing experience of Joel and Ellie but got somewhat of a backhand slap killing off Joel in the beginning of the game for Ellie's "character development".    … Expand

    The gameplay of part 2 is similar, or slightly better than part 1. The graphics part is close to other recent Naughty Dog titles e.g. Uncharted 4, so the gameplay & graphics score about 9/10.
    Story: 0/10 No need to explain. The game challenges the bottom line of storytelling by failing every part of the story.
    Overall score: 0/10 because the game is all about its story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En pocas palabras. Un juego el cual nos dejó con un mal sabor de boca, sobretodo con su historia que es lenta, predecible y algo mediocre. Un nuevo protagonista, el cual tiene su toque; pero no llega a convencer totalmente, y el juego nos fuerza a encariñarnos con él de manera muy rápida, sin mencionar que fue la persona que mató a Joel en las primeras horas de juego y que pocos jugadores podrán empatizar con el personaje. Un gameplay similar al de la entrega pasada, muy aceptable y divertido de jugar. Una inteligencia artificial algo mala, sobretodo en los niveles de dificultad media. Finalmente, unos gráficos muy bien detallados y que impresionarán a cualquiera que pruebe este juego, simplemente hermosos, de lo mejor que se ha visto hasta ahora.
    Lo dejaría así:
    Gameplay: 8/10
    Gráficos: 9/10
    Historia : 4/10
    IA: 7/10
    Y la puntuación general que le doy es de 7/10. Si lo que buscas es una buena historia buena, sin huecos argumentales, personajes carismáticos y un final decente, no compres este juego, o espera a que baje de precio. Si sólo estás buscando gráficos y un buen gameplay, adelante, puedes probarlo.    … 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.

    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]
