Some “journalists” and dumb people out there needed to be reminded what reviews are for. They are partly there to recommend to others on whether or not they should buy it and this game is clearly a hard pass. Until critic reviews can be more varied than “everything gets a 9/10 or 10/10” we can’t trust critics and their shilling. There are more nuanced reviews out there and I recommend those as to the reasons why this game is a hard pass but this review was posted to remind dummies in part what the purposes of reviews are and that you can’t just hand wave the truth on a bad story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abby:Weak Character
    She has bad motivations compared to Joel
    Joel saved Ellie for not accepting grief and not to lose his responsibility he has had to protect while Abby was losing loved one she had nor responsibility only memories to cause grief.
    This makes us still care more about Joel with also we have alot of screen time and over years learn more and love him as an icon while Abby butchers him no care even though he SAVED HER LIFE with no hesitation.And Ellie lets her live when I believe Joel wouldnt since she nearly killed her brother tortured him through pain killed him torture and hurt Ellie and killed friend(s) and more and eat some of her hand like wow really smart.Also Joel falls for obvious trap I think shouldve if they did it this way have built up.Also Abby neevr regerets like Ellie when she kills like Joel and we should like her.Also she dosent thank Ellie for saving her and sort of Sam but Ellie prob didnt thank her last time cause she was fine with killing her wife basically Abby is the wrostthing of this game and also they try so hard to make you feel bad for Abby when she dosent care who she hurts when shes mad unlike Ellie very smart but thats my main only big issue other than nitpicks and also Ellie character feels so different that takes awhile for you to grow on her.Also Abby dieing would've improved it to 8 stars for me.Also she tortures Joel who saved her and thinks he deserved more pain even her friend was like the -- got what he deserved like wow I really care for these **** there is great mirroring to the original.But Abby being Joel that boy being Ellie if it was just that 0/10 wanted to break ps4 buy it on disc so you can sell or trade think so can get some money since it isn't worth digital at all. Recommend this game for Last Of Us fans Who KNOWS JOEL DIES ONLY IF great game well 60% basically everything without Abby...Dont attack voice actor Abby though thats messed up even actors like voice of Joel and Ellie have even talked about how Abby voice threats should stop shes innocent.Highly recommend visuals and character Ellie and killing is SOO GOOD 10/10 killing though and visuals and some other standouts like Ellie and Dina and when Joel is voice acting its SOO good voice acting perfect highly recommend that part except for weak lines by Abby that feel bad which also why give her and her friend Ally think called once (Sam) 0/10 in everything since they made me depressed mad never fun or clever or good at least no fun not even in kills.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. forced history, forced compassion, it felt like they had a good story but changed it mid production. They try so hard to make you feel bad about the main antagonist that they forgot about the game.
    Gameplay is amazing and all. But I wouldn't believe the same team did write the story of this game.

    It's not a bad game, but no one waited the last of us for the gameplay but the story.
    They dedicated more time on the rope physics (which are amazing) than the develop of the second and last part of the story.
    And the ending it just shouted out loud "We are making a 3rd game".
    I'm not mad about the ending, I'm mad about how it happened.

    In summary, this was like a school project. People made their part of the story and they tried to fix it together.
    graphics 10/10
    gameplay 10/10
    story 2/10

    Giving 0 to the director, he didn't guide the team in such a way they could work this out.

    Just pay for "Game Reviewers" and take 90+ points.. This game will take 25 hours of your life, and of course "Neil Druckmann" man please get away from the "Naughty Dog". For constant attention, the man fought monsters (Nathan Drake) and being beaten by the woman. Make a lesbian character to attract attention.. Just go and buy RDR2, GOW. Don't buy this game.

O primeiro jogo foi sobre o relacionamento entre dois personagens: Joel e Ellie. Esta parte introduziu muitos personagens desnecessários que apenas complicaram a história e se afastam da evolução de Joel e Ellie. Todo o jogo foi sobre o ciclo de vingança. Abby mata Joel, e Ellie partiu em uma jornada para matar Abby. Enquanto ela mata centenas de pessoas apenas para chegar a Abby, ela tem a epifania de que matar não vai mudar nada. Mas espere um pouco, e as centenas de pessoas que Ellie matou apenas para chegar a Abby? Eles são apenas sem "importância"!. Eu simplesmente não entendo qual é o objetivo do parte II. O primeiro jogo terminou e deixou os jogadores decidirem se Joel fez a coisa certa ou não. No entanto, a segunda parte assume que a decisão de Joel está errada, e é apenas uma grande MERDA pra todas as pessoas que pensaram que Joel fez o certo pela Ellie. E quem é Abby de novo? É a filha irrealisticamente muscular de um NPC personagem inútil da primeira parte. Tudo parecia FORÇADO nessa parte apenas para DEMONIZAR alguns personagens e tentar empurrar as idéias de Druckmann sobre "o que é certo e errado". Como um telespectador da primeira parte, The Last of Us terminou no ponto em que Ellie disse "ok". Esta parte é apenas um spin-off e nem chega perto da primeira parte em termos de história. O jogo é belo em nível de design, som e fidelidade gráfica, o que era esperado depois de todos que esses anos. Mas Druckmann precisa deixar o ND se a Sony quiser que esse estúdio continue. Caso contrário, FALÊNCIA!… Expand

    I give the rating of 3 solely for improvements on gameplay from the previous game, amazing visuals, and acting by the character cast. The storytelling was a bold choice that did not deliver. It made me feel contempt for most characters at best, or such little interest at worst. Except for the flashbacks to Joel and Ellie's time together, which were the very best parts of the game.

Some aspects of the story downright contradict the message that the game attempts to forcefeed us - oh yeah, it's kind of an interactive lecture, by the way.

    I know Neil said the first game was about love, and this one would be about hate, but he kinda made it so that I hate the game itself. What a shame

    Overall, this is a marvellous example of when taking risks with a beloved franchise is a terrible, terrible idea.    … Expand

    Sigue la historia donde se quedo, la música es muy buena, el doblaje de superproducción , gráficamente muy bueno ( lastima que no pueda jugarse en 60 fps en ps4pro, lo guardarán para ps5) La historia está muy trabajada, el comienzo me recuerda a RDR2 , que es la parte que más me gusta de red dead , la zona de la nieve

The last of us 2, es una experiencia sumante interesante; la historia es sumanmente inesperada; (tomando como base el anterior juego) la direccion que tomaron es una que no me esperaba para nada, esta cargada de sentimientos, sentimientos transmitidos completamente a travez de todo esta experiencia jugable; por su direccion de arte, banda sonora , escenarios y jugabilidad; la cual de hecho es excelente tambien, similar al 1, pero con mejoras lo cual a si mismo le da un toque freco y mas disfrutable que su anterior entrega; lo recomiendo rotundamente.

    Le jeu de la décennie à mes yeux, lâchement et injustement bâché par des personnes anti LGBT, racistes et sexistes.

    Simply put. This game is not perfect by any means, but I think this game does significantly more right then it does wrong. Sound design/music, Cinematography, UI, Accessibility, and Gameplay are virtually perfect and a marginal improvement from Naughty Dog's previous game Uncharted 4.

This game is not perfect by any means, but I think this game does significantly more right then it does wrong. Sound design/music, Cinematography, UI, Accessibility, and Gameplay are virtually perfect and a marginal improvement from Naughty Dog's previous game Uncharted 4.

    Where the issues arise are in some questionable bloated flashback sequences and a bold dichotomy between our established main character Ellie, and the new 'villian' character Abby. I think this story would have been told much better if it weren't for the excessive use of flashbacks and failure to establish Abby and friends before killing off our previous main character, Joel. This would have allowed us as the player to become more shocked with the death of Joel, and would cut down on the portion of the game where you take control of Abby in Seattle.

    Despite this, I think that the broad stroke of a revenge story on the surface being transformed into a story about forgiveness and how our two main characters change over time was executed fairly well. This game has so much intertwining of plot threads that you probably will need to play this a second time to really appreciate what all is happening between the time you play as Ellie in Seattle to when you eventually play as Abby.

    This story isn't nearly as linear and focused as the original, but I found myself unable to guess what happens next while playing. Ultimately, this resulted in a gripping story that I thoroughly enjoyed for the most part, and would recommend playing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Summary: Not a bad game, but not that amazing either I found that it was basically just a copy of Tomb Raider but with more annoying characters.

    I thought the graphics were amazing, and the sound was also excellent.

    The big let downs here were the writing, combat system and searching for gear.

    Searching for gear was a huge pain in the arse. Loot isn't obvious and the button to collect only appears within 1m or so of the gear. So you end up having to walk up and down along every set of cupboards in every room of every shop to make sure that nothing as well. You occasionally come across strange items that you can pick up and examine, but they don't do anything else.

    In terms of gameplay I just found the weapon system way too clunky. You'd try to go into stealth mode, but instead changed weapons, or try and do a quick heal but get stuck there. it also seemed to me that when an enemies bullet hit you, you recovered a lot more slowly than the enemy did.

    Finally just on the script, whilst it definitely seemed it was written as SJW bingo, the bigger failure is just making all the characters unlikeable. The only characters who were vaguely likeable (Joel and Tommy) are either killed off early on or get very little screen time.
    I can understand what they were doing with the Abby backstory part of the game, but she just comes across as such a revengeful, angry character that I just wanted her part to end.    … Expand

    It's definitely not my cup of tea. Like many fans of the original game, I wasn't expecting a character assassination of my favorite protagonists. The gameplay and graphics are excellent as expected, but the story is one that never needed to be told. It's 30 hours of your life you're not going to get back. Very disappointing.

    Please don't let the toxic community and horrible fan base dissuade you. This game is so powerful and harsh in its storytelling, its game design has been sharpened from the last game to be tweaked to perfection and it just looks stunning.

    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]
