Going to buy and play Baldur's Gate 3, looks dope. Won't be buying anything that has identity politics. I get enough of that in RL don;t need it in my entertainment.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes, the game is a technical titan, but none of this matters when you lack honesty and integrity. This game is entitled The Last Of Us: Part II, implying its the second part of The Last Of Us, the 2013 game that tells the story of Joel and Ellie. Now, Ellie is in the box art, in every promotional material, its the first face you see when you launch the game. I bought this to play as Ellie, with Ellie, to suffer with her, to laugh with her, to have my heart pumping with her. Halfway through the game, my moments with her are taken away from me, and I'm forced to play with a random girl. This is not why I bought this game. In no moment, during these years of promotion it was said half the game I would be forced to play with a character I have no interest in. That's the why I'm giving it a two. Its a dishonest game.… Expand

SJW content and Abbynator are most negligible problems of the game. The game was killed by empty story and boring gameplay.… Expand

Don't get me wrong the game play is super fun just like the first last of us nothing has really changed. It's a shame that the beautiful moments in the game are going to be overlooked with the bad such as the museum scene. The biggest issue i have with this game is how they portrayed it in trailers making it seem like it was going to be another adventure with Joel and Ellie. If you want to learn more about that there's a article by James Lara on Sp1st its shows comparison pictures and videos of the trailer vs the actual game play.… Expand

    The game was alright but there wasn't really that much, if any improvement or innovation from the first game. Gameplay is mostly the same with some minor and arbitrary differences. The story is substantially worse, the writing is exceptionally more mundane and cliche than the first. The overarching theme being "revenge bad". That could have worked if it built the characters up at all, butThe game was alright but there wasn't really that much, if any improvement or innovation from the first game. Gameplay is mostly the same with some minor and arbitrary differences. The story is substantially worse, the writing is exceptionally more mundane and cliche than the first. The overarching theme being "revenge bad". That could have worked if it built the characters up at all, but mostly the new cast is either forgettable or so poorly written that you just don't care about them. As for the visuals, they were fantastic. I will give the game that it has some of the best visuals and ambiance I've seen in years. It was disappointing as I really wanted to like the game, especially considering how much I enjoyed the first game. Otherwise the plot and pacing is erratic. There are numerous flashbacks throughout the game that although they are quite enjoyable would have been much better placed in different parts of the game. I would explain more, but I'm trying to keep this review spoiler free. I think its ridiculous that anyone is saying the game is bad simply because Ellie is in a relationship with Dina. There's no reason that should detract from the game or story. Although I will say that Dina's character was quite boring in my opinion, like many other characters from the game. It seems like they could have done a lot more with many of the characters, main and supporting. They just simply didn't play a large enough role in the plot or really express themselves much. Especially considering that Naughty Dog has shown they know how to write good characters and character development in prior games. All in all it is a lackluster game when compared to The Last of Us 1. If we are not comparing the two at all, although it would still be lackluster it is not really a bad game. It's just much worse in comparison to its predecessor. I did like some new parts of the gameplay such as the increase in skills able to unlock with medicine and some of the new ways to use terrain. However, neither really adds that much to the game. Realistically I would rate the game a 2.5. It's an alright game, but again it is just to lacking in comparison to the first game. Regardless, I still think Naughty Dog makes good games, I just feel like they severely missed the mark on this one. Worse being that it was on such a beloved IP.… Expand

    The terrible story ruins this technological masterpiece being perhaps the best looking game on the PS4. the games mechanics and background can only carry a story driven game so far. The character development is weak and the lack of empathy I felt for Abby is a clear sign of a bad character that the developers attempted to be relatable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll give it a 2/10 and that’s me being generous. Yes, the visuals and gameplay is solid, what’s expected from Naughty Dog with what they have on their backs (Uncharted franchise) Some parts of the story is solid too, the flashbacks of Ellie and Joel are heartwarming and heartbreaking as well. Now that I got the positive out of the way, the game is overall garbage. How is the developer going to kill a beloved and meaningful character in such a sad and distasteful way? Joel dying part of the story? Okay. But at least make it memorable, poetic, or heroic. Don’t just kill him off by pinning him down and having no hopes of survival. Story plot fail to deliver completely. Imagine you’re gonna go watch a spider man movie or a captain America movie and right from the start they kill them off? That’s exactly what occurred here. Now with that out of the way, okay Joel died now what? They could’ve made the story continue with having Ellie and Tommy go on the adventure in avenging https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/the-last-of-us-part-ii/user-reviews?dist=negativeJoel’s death and that could’ve been a solid storyline but NOOOOOO the creators had to ruin it even more by making us play the killer. I get what they tried to do but THEY FAILED AT DOING SO. HOW CAN YOU HAVE SYMPATHY FOR A CHARACTER WHO NEVER DEMONSTRATED REMORSE OR REGRET THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE GAME? Naughty Dog has failed all of us who fell in love with these characters. Nothing but disappointments with this game. Rest assure, I’ll be skeptical in purchasing another one of your games. Treat your employees with respect Naughty Dog, this goes for you too Neil.… Expand

    Era pra ser o melhor jogo da história dos videogames mas, não passou de uma enorme decepção.

    Preferia ter visto a história pelo youtube do que ter gasto quase 300 reais na pré venda!

    Os gráficos são belíssimos, o game design é estonteante e a iluminação é de encher os.olhos... mas a história e o desenvolvimento de personagens são superficiais demais! Quê decepção!
    Quê tristeza!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Recuerdo que cuando jugué al primero con unos 14 años me encantó, el Gameplay no era nada del otro mundo, pero la historia era tan buena que realmente no importaba, además de que los gráficos eran increíbles para ser un juego de 2013, y ha día de oh me siguen pareciendo sublimes.

    Tras finalizarlo lo primero que sentí fue un vacío interior, ya que las 11 o 12 horas que dura me las pase como un niño y sabía que podría rejugar el juego, pero nunca sentiría lo mismo.Ademas pensé que era el juego perfecto para no tener secuela, ya que el final era suficientemente redondo y las cosas que se estiran acaban mal.

    Me emociones increíblemente cuando salió el trailer el 2017 creo recordar y desde entonces hasta que ha salido he estado totalmente hypeado.

    El juego lo he comprado de salid y me arrepiento muchisimo.Parece un fan fickal echo.

    Lo que tiene de bueon es que tiene unos gráficos y animaciones despanpanantes, ya está, eso es todo.

    El combate por mucho que se diga que no no es nada del otro mundo, han puesto lo del l1 para esquivar,las grietas y echarte a tierra y ya esta, aunque esto no me molestas mucho.

    Lo que si me molestas es la historia, y esque esta clase de juegos se supone que se basa en eso, la narrativa.Para empezar la muerte de Joel es totalmente forzada y denigrante para el personaje, además de matarle se le tortura y todo con Tommy y Ellie delante.Mas adelanté, por conveniencias del guió, se les deja vivos a los dos personajes anteriormente citados.

    Ellie emprende su venganza junto a dina, la novia, más o menos, y durante la persecución hablan de cosas totalmente banales y disfrutan del paisaje.Mas tarde controlamos al personaje que ha matado a joel, una idea genial.El final es irrisorio y todo el juego está cojido con pinzas

    Supongo que naugthy dog quería enseñaros que la venganza es mala, y que en este mundo no existen ni los buenos ni los malos, pero esta relaizado de una manera patética y sin ningún sentido.Para mi este videojuego no es canon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Waited 7 years for this game, thought there was no way ND could make a bad sequel. Holy cow was I wrong. Game starts out pretty solid, iffy on Joel dying in the first roughly two hours, but whatever. Then we get to play as Abby... I have never cared about any character or subplots less than her’s. We don’t care about her and Owen. We don’t care about the crammed-in war against the Seraphites. We don’t care about any of that. ND somehow found a way to water down the specialness of their own main character in their own game. The whole “two sides of the same coin” gimmick just feels tacky and subtle as a sledgehammer. Ellie collects trading cards, Abby collects coins. Ellie couldn’t swim, Abby can’t be up high in the air. Mel was pregnant, so was Dina. You can’t make this stuff up, they really thought they were onto something with this. And don’t give me any of that anti lgbt or transphobic stuff, Abby being masculine has nothing to do with my critique or mostly anyone’s. Makes the sex scene a little off-putting (yeah you get a good look at her naked in the game) but it’s not a valid reason to dislike her. Her inclusion, body type and looks aside, is still the main thing that ruins this game. It’s almost as if ND gave us Ellie to focus on and care about and gave us Abby almost like how your mom made you take your younger sibling with you to places as a kid; you’re still having some fun, but man did they REALLY have to come too?

    In conclusion if you’ve read this far- game was good until they shoehorned Abby in there and expected us to like her. Could’ve been a great game but ND dropped the ball.    … 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]
