    ABSOLUTELY MASTERPIECE! This game is amazing: from the incredible graphic, to one of the funniest and better developed gameplay ever.

    even the story is sensational and full of plot twists!

    Un juego fenomenal! Con una historia con personajes que ya todos conocíamos, y ahora, algunos nuevos muy relevantes para una trama contada de manera distinta. Con un final inesperado debido al peso de las consecuencias que te hace sentir el juego.

    Playing the first game I was hugely excited for the second. Some of the places the game takes you is surprising and unexpected.

    Gameplay almost didn't change, it gets very repetitive and boring at times.
    Story is very disappointing with bland dialogue and boring plot. Characters are very unlikable and boring, didn't get attached to any of the characters except joel.

    People complains about "review bombing" but then a lot try to review build puting a 10/10... and it isnt
    Start from the beginnig: is a sequel and is story driven. Yes, you could like gameplay in TLOU but the main punch was in the story. Some can rate the game cause its "meh" gameplay or beautiful graphics, but if the story doesnt punch over... it lost over the first deliver.

    Here you dont have a choise, the story and the storytelling devolved from the first game. The game felt, at least for me, stretched at least ten hours trying to get us into some bad developed characters so we lost 40% of our time, a shame.
    Then: is a 0 game? No. Is a 10/10 game? Neither. A 3.7? That would be a BAD game, and it isnt for me. Being a 7 a nice game, it have a little more than a nice game, but if it was a good sequel to the first game probably would deserve a 9 or 10    … Expand

    This is such a negative game! The script is very bad after playing a couple of hours I had to return it. It doesn't make any sense to play it. I should become a lot of happiness but instead, I got a lot of disappointing moments. Is this the game for players? No, this is a game for critics and newspapers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is a saying. “When you’re lost in the darkness, look for the light”. In the first game, there was a light to find. The main point of the story was still an ‘A to B’ story, but done extremely well. The gameplay was serviceable, at best, and enemies were extremely dumb. Where the mastery in the first game lied was it’s story.
    Joel was such a likable protagonist that you were able to get behind anything he did, even his actions at the end, which were ultimately selfish. Ellie was a likable side character that helped Joel open up to people, especially her. She became a surrogate daughter to him, after he lost his own daughter 20 years ago. The game ended on a lie, and Joel did it to keep Ellie safe.

    Fast forward 5 or so years, and things have changed. Ellie’s relationship with Joel is strained, and they barely talk to one another anymore. This makes Joel’s immediate death about an hour or so into the game so goddamn stupid. It’s not even that he died, but the way he died is not only disrespectful but incredibly idiotic. The build up to his death is so poorly written that you could watch a porn cartoon and have better written dialogue than this. An hour or two into the game, he dies. Whatever. He was dead weight. Fast forward a little bit, and Ellie is an emo. She doesn’t seem to want to talk to anybody, clearly affected by Joel’s death (even though their relationship was strained at the time, so she shouldn’t care as much.) I only ever found this to be a minor inconvenience, as they can do whatever the hell they want.
    I would go over the bulk of the story and discuss the pacing issues and mission placement, but we would be here forever. I’ll give you the basics on what they should’ve done better.
    -keep Abby’s 10 hour story, but mix it in with Ellie’s so that they both build up to the fight at the cinema. This would probably keep the players investment in the game, wanting to play as Ellie but not as Abby but having to progress through both at the same time. This solves the mission placement issue.
    -(they should’ve) removed a lot of stupid content they shouldn’t have added, keeping the playtime low, solving the pacing issue.
    -have the ending just be Abby and Ellie trying to fight in the water, as the other, but have both kill each other. This is just an ending that I’d find entertaining, at least Ellie and Abby would be equal in terms of loss.
    Honestly, I feel like this game, despite it’s problems, is worth playing just once. It’s nice to have a game that takes risks, rather than playing it safe. Although, the marketing certainly doesn’t give the company much praise, especially because it shows they aren’t proud enough of the project they made to advertise what they actually made, and instead advertised the game people actually wanted to play, which just makes them look bad. That means all they want is money, not to tell a story that nobody wanted but still can be enjoyed, but instead hiding a well told story behind what could’ve been a masterpiece that not only took risks but advertised it as such. Overall... is this a good GAME? Yes. You’re a moron if you think this game is just a failure in every regard, because it isn’t. It gets a lot of things right. But to those giving this game “PERFECT 10/10” are also just a part of the problem. This game in no way is a masterpiece, and never will be. It had glaring pacing problems and story issues that will bug people who bother to look for them. But, the gameplay almost makes up for it and the story is so daring that some people can just avoid all that and enjoy it for what it tried to be. This is a good game. Good story? It’s a subjective question, but I believe yes, if it was an original game. Is it a good TLoU2? Hell no. This story shouldn’t have ever been told in this universe, because it doesn’t belong. But I think that some things can help me look past all that, as the graphics are stunning and the gameplay is smooth and functional.    … Expand

    Please if you are at all interested in this game and/or enjoyed the first game, please get this one... there are a lot of bitter fans and people who think it's cool to hate that try to drag this game and naughty dog through the dirt, but this game is a masterpiece with a carefully written story and beautiful moments!

    This is a great game, truly. The story-telling is raw and brutal, and fits quite well the tone of the series. Graphics are an absolute masterpiece. You should play it with headphones on, it's quite immersive. Maybe the best PS4 game of this gen, with the permission of Bloodborne and God of War.

    É um jogo que mexe com a alma. O jogo passa emoções e sensações. É realmente uma pena as pessoas não terem análise crítica, acabam criticando de uma maneira superficial, mas esse é o direito delas. Tem casos que nem merecem ser comentados, tipo os comentários homofóbicos.
    O jogo é simplesmente incrível! A narrativa sempre no controle da situação.

    This game:
    Rewrites characters and scenes from the previous (much better) title to fit its narrative.
    Intentionally misled customers by advertising fake video footage of the game.
    Forces you, the player, to commit despicable, violent acts to continue.
    Has a developer that can't take criticism.

    Amazing story, interesting character. You can watch story from both side. Absolutely technical masterpiece. Best graphic in current generation. As for me the strong side of this game is in the ability of modifying the character, that depends on quantity of found items.

    This is the worst Sony game for the entire existence of the Playstation brand, with the second part of TLOU in terms of trash, only GOW 2018 and the Ragnarok DLC can compete, it’s a pity that the once great Sony stooped to such rubbish.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us is my favorite game ever with TLoZ: BoTW. The original TLoU is a masterpiece, and I'm really sad to see how Naughty Dog has ruined it. I'm not gonna review this game because it's already done for many people. I just come to say that this is not the game that they have been selling us during years. It's like if in the new God of War, someone kills Kratos and then Santa Monica forces us to play with his killer.
    TLoU Part II is an offense to all the fans of the first game. They forced us to empathize with someone we don't care about. They have been selling us the trip of Ellie, Ellie in the cover, all the trailers about Ellie, EVERYTHING about Ellie, and at the moment of truth, they force us to play with Joel's killer, and, the worst of everything, after some hellish hours that we all play obliged, they forced us to destroy Ellie, to try to kill her, playing with Abbie. It's the cruelest and most disgusting way I've ever seen to laugh in the face of the fans. I'm sorry ND, but you have broken the masterpiece you did 7 years ago.    … 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]
