    Wow,. All I can say is that I am surprised at how utterly bad this second half of this game is- first half is decent,but very clunky and not really the greatest story,. But I feel like the story completely ruins this entire franchise in the second half,.. personally I am shocked that critics gave this the score they did, it only proves they have to be in naughty dogs pocket somehow.

But I feel like the story completely ruins this entire franchise in the second half,.. personally I am shocked that critics gave this the score they did, it only proves they have to be in naughty dogs pocket somehow. No one with a brain would rate this game any higher than a 5 out of 10 max. Graphics are really good, gameplay is mediocre and story is one of the worst I’ve seen.

    If you haven’t purchased yet, save your money. I wish I would have listened to all the reviews from users prior to wasting my money.

    User ratings are painfully accurate, critics ratings prove they are fake. Most gave this game a 10 out of 10,. Which couldn’t be further from fact.

    This game Fully ruins its franchise and characters in one fail swoop, making it one of the dumbest decisions I’ve seen in a game. I’m surprised they slapped the fans in the face with such a disrespect to the first game. This is not a game to purchase if you enjoyed the first Tlou

    Complete waste of money and I would have much rather played god of war a 3rd time instead    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Soy un fan acérrimo de The Last of Us, posiblemente quedé enamorado de la primera parte, creó una relación Joel-Ellie que se desarrollaba al mismo tempo que el videojuego, unos personajes complejos y que era inevitable cogerles cariño.
    Mi crítica no tiene nada que ver con la ideología metida en el juego, desde el dlc “left behind“ se sabía que Ellie era homosexual y no importaba para nada, es más en este juego la relación con Dina podría haber sido una relación como la que mencionaba anteriormente que se va desarrollando según lo hacen los acontecimientos del juego y chapó.
    Pero no, naughty dog añade una personaje que independientemente de lo que represente esta metida con calzador.... Pero eso no es lo peor, para mi ha sido una puñalada en el corazón el final que le han dado a Joel, se lo han cargado sin más, merecía un final digno, era una muerte que se presuponía pero que debió hacerse con amor y delicadeza hacia un personaje increíble y que se ganó a miles de fan por lo humano que era.
    Podría hablar de cosas buenas que tiene el juego pero también de muchas malas para compensarlas.
    Como punto final he de decir que este juego para mi marca un antes y después con el que era mi estudio favorito, seré prudente con cada título que hagan a partir de ahora.    … Expand

    Such a beautiful looking game, production wise it's amazing, it's obvious that people really worked hard for it. But why they allowed such story writing to pass through to release is beyond me. Subverting expectations is the new meta it seems, it's so edgy and pretentious it makes me want to puke.

    Terrible story. Sorry to see the developer ruin one of their best franchises. The only thing that people love about the first game was the story, and here they missed it big time. So the result is a bad game that you may still play but won't enjoy it nor that you will ever remember the story or characters. Nevertheless amazing graphics that you’ll appreciate.

    In my opinion, the last of us 2 is mostly about the story. Even if the gameplay is good, it cannot save the game if the story is not up to par. Gameplay is pretty much the same as the first game so if you enjoyed tlou's loop, you will enjoy this. That loop being stealth(if you want), loot, craft and then fight.

That loop being stealth(if you want), loot, craft and then fight.

    The first game was universally praised for many reasons but I think, what made it truly great was the evolving relationship between Joel and Ellie. In part 2 that dynamic is immediately thrown to the side in favor of new characters, which I do not enjoy at all. Most if not all the new characters I find to be bland or awkward. The established characters, although they may have the same name, their personalities seem to be very different from the first game. To the point that some of the decisions that the characters take are baffling to me, so much so that I ended up despising a character that I previously loved. The ending is just bad. It makes everything that you did leading up to it utterly useless.

    I do not think this game was made for fans of the previous one. This would probably be better received by players if it was a completely new game but since it is a sequel it should be compared to the original. Part 2 falls short in every single aspect with the exception of graphics and gameplay but as I have stated previously, tlou2 is mostly about the story, and comes woefully short compared to the first.

    tldr: if you want to be depressed or you are a sadist, play this game.    … Expand

    This game is so laughably bad, and an insult to any fan of the 1st one. I played through the game just hoping it would get better, but it only gets worse. I suggest not getting the game if you’re a fan of the first one.

    The “sneak up until you can press triangle to kill them” gamelay got boring in MGS2. This is repetitive drivel wrapped in an episode of One Tree Hill. Avoid.

    Awful story which aims to raise idea of strong and independent women. Only good thing about the game is graphics, animations and level design. Story, dialogs are total c**p. I registered here only to give this negative review, never in my life gave low scores but this one really takes cake.

    The gameplay and graphics are very good, unfortunately that doesn't really matter because the story and the way the characters behave just doesn't make any sence and it pretty much ruins the overall experience. Saw the leaks, decided to buy the game anyway hoping it wouldn't be as bad as everyone said and ended up regretting wasting my money. Dissapointed but not surprised.

And the ending is probably one of the worst endings I had to endure in a long while. No payoff, no reward no nothing. It amazes me that it took a whole studio 7 years to come up with such an uninspired and bad story. The only good thing about the game is the graphical fidelity. But it's nothing special because we've come to expect such graphics in AAA titles for years now. If only the story was as good as the graphics... What's also quite upsetting is how the "critics", aka the ass kissers, give it raving reviews, while the actual fans aren't too fond of the game so far. Just look at Pewdiepie's reaction to the first pivotal moment in the game. That tells you all you need to know.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. False advertising to make you believe that joel is still alive, they tricked us making joel saying in the trailer a quote that he never says in the game, when in reality it was Jesse who was talking to Ellie, so they just changed the whole scene.

    The story makes nosense comparing to the first one, dialogues and story was made to promote the lgbt community nothing more, so obvious and so forced.
    Killing joel in the most brutal and disgracing way, then spitting on him, why? It was so graphic that It makes you feel sick.
    They tourned Joel and Tommy into amateurs who would give their location and real names to a bunch of strangers.
    Having to play as joel's killer to make you feel "sympathy" for her and turning Ellie and Joel info the villains, in top of that we have a meaneless ending with Ellie sparing Abby and being left Alone by Dina.
    So basicly this game was just made to mess with your psyche and your mental health destroying all what we knew from the dynamic between Ellie and joel to just promoting their own believes and ideals with their agenda in the most narcissistic way.    … Expand

So I was super excited to play as Joel and Ellie again. Well that’s not what you get. You know what you get? Playing as another character that looks like the biggest feminist on roids who kills my favorite character in the stupidest way possible! Did they not look back to see why people liked the first one? Because of Joel and Ellie. This game sucks!… Expand

    Technically very good, but the story is an out and out abomination.
    It destroys everything that was wonderful and enjoyable about the first game and replaces it with a cast of unlikeable characters and gender rubbish.

    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.
