    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is just a train wreck of a game. The story is terrible and poorly written. I was expecting much more because it was mainly coming from Naughty Dog, one of the best story tellers. But, i can clearly see i was wrong because of this game. I'm fine with playing as Abby, but they make her so bad. She kills Joel, one of the most beloved character in gaming history, and then they make you play as her. The thing that makes me so angry is because of the way Joel died and what he did before he died. He saves Abby and then acts dumb. In the first game, he was smarter than in this game. He tells them his name, which ends up getting him killed. And the way they killed him is terrible. He should have had a better death maybe like Arthur Morgan. The last thing that i will complain about this game is that the ending was horrible. Ellie killed all of Abby's friends and when she finally gets to Abby, she lets her go. All this hatred towards Abby and killing all of her friends to find out where she is, to end up not killing her. One of the most terrible endings to a highly anticipated game. I will say though, the game looks stunning and beautiful. The voice actors did a great job, but the game is mainly the same as the first one, but 3 buttons change. Its just the same game play. I will say, I love the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie. They were so much fun and I would just play those segments rather than the whole game. You can tell that the developers put much love into the game, but its ruined by the story. . I also like how there are options for people that have problems with hearing or seeing and such. That makes it so that the game is for everyone. I don't recommend this game to anyone and you could spend your 60 dollars on something that is worth your time.… Expand

    I’d say the only nice part about this game is the graphics, and nothing much wrong with the gameplay either. If anything it’s just repetitive. The real issue is with the pacing of the storyline. I get they were going for something dark and deep, but it just comes off nihilistic and painful. If it was a movie, maybe it’d be fine? But it’s a game and the playing field is different.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Giving it a 2 for +1 gameplay +1 graphics (amazing, just like TLOU1) but the story was a total disappointment. Did a child write this? I mean, not even my 14 year old cousin that does drama writing at school can come up with something so disappointing. No, I did not want a happy ending but at least some sense into it would’ve been nice. Did Joel need to go out that way? Did we need to use a character that we never heard of? Trailers are totally misleading and fake advertising. Not even R* smashed us this bad with Johnny Klebitz’ death, at least we understood his downfall with drugs and met a bigger match but someone like Joel with so much experience didn’t need to die that way. You lost me at the ending, as well. Not that you all care anyways, you got your money boohoo.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Estuve leyendo muchas reseñas de este juego, pero ninguna empatizo con lo que siento, por eso escribo esta reseña, nunca antes lo había hecho, pero jugué The last of us 1 y su historia fue tan emotiva y natural, nunca pensé que la segunda parte decepcionaría tanto.
    Empezare por lo bueno, Los gráficos son excelentes al tope de esta generación, la jugabilidad es muy buena y suave, las animaciones son geniales lo mejor que he visto hasta ahora, en estos aspectos es un juego de 10, no note tanto la música como el primer juego, sin embargo lo entiendo, pues esto se debe a que siguen los mimos tonos y estilo que el primero. No dejan de ser excelentes temas.
    Ahora vamos a la parte mala. Mi opinión sobre cómo tiene que ser un video juego para que éste sea bueno, sobre todo en esta clase de juego donde su historia tiene mucho peso e intenta darnos una lección a nivel moral, psicológica, es que tiene que dejarnos llenos a nivel emocional, esta clase de historia cuentan hechos que todos conocemos pero que pasan desapercibidos en nuestra vida diaria hasta que juegos o películas como estos nos los traen a la luz y nos los dejan brillando en nuestra mente para que los recordemos y no nos olvidemos de esta lecciones de la vida que nos hacen crecer emocionalmente. Sin embargo, en the last of us parte 2 no es el caso. Al pasarme el juego no quede con una sensación satisfactoria como en red dead Redeption 2 o el mismo the last of us 1 , si no que me sentí vacío por dentro, a penas lo termine se me ocurrieron 10 historias distintas que pudieron haber sido mucho mejores que la original, entiendo lo que trataron de hacer con la historia de este juego, pero están muy mal contada y el final muy mal echo, me da la sensación de que en los últimos meses de desarrollo decidieron cambiar la historia repentinamente. No obstante pude empatizar con los personajes, me costó, pero pude entender porque Ellie y Abby hicieron lo que hicieron en este juego. Aun así es decepciónate ver como teniendo la oportunidad de haber creado una gran y emociónate historia la desarrollaron de la peor forma teniendo tantas opciones para el éxito. Una de las cosas que más me incomodo fue la forzosa relación entre Ellie y Dina, se nota en la interpretación de los actores una relación fingida no natural, es como si intentaran a la fuerza poner juntas a estos 2 personajes que no tienen ninguna conexión emocional entre ellas. Verdaderamente hicieron que terminara decepcionado de la nueva personalidad fría y sin sentido de Ellie, comprendo que pudiera haber cambiado de niña a adolecente, sin embargo, un personaje que ha pasado por tantas situaciones dolorosas, por lógica debe ser más maduro mental mente que el resto y por ende tomar decisiones mas sabias y racionales. A diferencia de otras personas, el personaje que encontré que más aceptable es Abby, ya que tuvo la madures mental de darse cuenta de que había cometido un error al asesinar a Joel de forma cruel e intento redimirse perdonándole la vida de Ellie en más de una ocasión y salvando la vida de otro personaje el cual no me quedo totalmente clara su sexualidad.
    En fin, es un juego bueno nivel visual y técnico pero falla en la parte más importante de un video juego de esta clase .. la construcción de su historia. Esto no importaría mucho si fuera un juego como The división o warframe donde la historia no es su fuerte, pero este… este juego si señores. En términos de valor es su historia en la cual recae el 80% de valor del juego, por esto las notas de los usuarios han sido tan malas, por esto el juego a decepcionado a tantas personas que venían venir una historia solida a nivel argumental. Algunos defienden el juego diciendo que este no es una historia echa para gustarle a los fans, pero por favor, sobre qué otra cosa más se pueden hacer los juegos si no para que a toda la gente le guste y se sienta bien jugándolo para sacarle todo el provecho, esa es la intención, ese es el propósito de un juego, divertirnos y dejarnos un buen sabor de boca. Espero con esto 2 cosas, que los señores que hicieron la historia de este juego aprendan y no vuelvan a cometer este tipo de errores insólitos, y 2 que la gente se dé cuenta de cuan vendida esta la prensa de hoy en día, todos dando nota sobre 9, es que no puede ser más evidente! La gente no puede seguir creyéndole a estos mentirosos que engañan a quienes se supone deberían ayudar con sus análisis para que los usuarios puedan invertir sabiamente su dinero que tanto trabajo cuesta ganárselo.    … Expand

    There should not have been a sequel to the original game, especially considering the non-respect shown to anything that was built in the first title.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a big fan of the first game and its characters Joel and Ellie, I am really disappointed by this game. Graphics and sound are great, but the story is trash. I've watched the entire game on youtube, I'm not gonna give 60 bucks for this garbage. I would not download it even if it was free on Playstation Plus. What a horrible sequel. Everything in this story is either nonsense or it spits on everything the first game stood for. Joel is a skilled survivor, he wouldn't be that stupid to give his name to strangers. Also, why do we have to play with Joel's killer for so long? No amount of context will ever make me sympathise with Abby after she kills Joel (in that horrible way) after he saved her life. This is disgusting. This is just leftist/progressive agenda, let's get rid of main male characters, let's get rid of male role models as to not be misogynistic. Joel was a a father figure to all of us who played the first game and we got very attached to this character. He didn't deserve a death like this. Also, Ellie is very angry, I couldn't get a reason to bound with her in part 2. Very bad writting.This mindset may work in California, but not in the rest of the world. Also , the trailers were so deceiving. The developers said that the game will be divisive. Let's hope that the sales numbers are also divisive.… Expand

    Very disappointed. They are force feeding us to bend to a leftist agenda. Nothing is safe anymore. They mislead you to think you play the main character but this turns out to be a male bashing and strong woman agenda and if you don't like it you are the one that is wrong. Sad.

    I'm going to divide this review into two parts: story and gameplay:

    Story: No spoilers. While the previous game has a lot of problems on logics with how biology should've worked, you could still argue that those were done for the need of plot for the overall storyline, no matter how poorly those plots were presented and how bad the logic could be, it was at least a good story that    I'm going to divide this review into two parts: story and gameplay:

You cannot defend the story of this game like the previous one. There are simply way too many problems on how you lay out the story, the progress, and how it was told, and for a game that took 7 years to finish, at some point, someone in the whole dev team had to ask this question: is that really the way we want to tell the story? Does that really line up to the way we tell the story in our previous game? Apparently none of those questions was asked, else the story and human logic would've been more polished.

    Gameplay:
    Nothing new. Seriously, nothing new or outbreaking. Solid? yes. But nothing that really provided excitement. At least no bugs, right?    … Expand

At the time went users reach the ending, users will realize that the entire story was very unfair to Ellie since she last her family, many of her friends are dead or hurt, her relations to them are broken. But if you see Abby, she got everything. She has a home and friends to go bacl she got a boyfriend, and everything else. Don't you think that Naughty Dog was forcing on PC too much that they have forgotten to respact the part 1 characters? Don't you see that Naughty Dog has turn their faces from us and become as a another slave of a PC? I think this is the worst choice that Naughty Dog have ever made.Beside to the story, the Naughty Dog was not showing the best performance that they could do and the moves that were showed on trailers were not abke to do them. To acutally do those cool moves showed on trailers, you would be wasting your ammos and you will not be able to play the game efficiently. This is my review.… Expand

    This has nothing to do with homophobic or transphobic attitudes and just wants to point out a honest review about a story-driven game.

    First of all, the gameplay, the graphics and the mechanics are clearly on top as expected. It's amazing how naughty dog always pushes the console to its limits to present a very good looking and well playable game.

    First of all, the gameplay, the graphics and the mechanics are clearly on top as expected. It's amazing how naughty dog always pushes the console to its limits to present a very good looking and well playable game.

    When it comes to the main part of TLOU2 which is the storyline, I have to say I really tried to feel the storytelling, but I didn't had any emotions at all beside three little moments. (Beginning, Flashbacks and the very end in the cutscene, not the playable end)

    Playing more than 50% of the time as a character who is hated deeply, mainly causes the problem that we don't get the chance to take the main and side characters to our heart. All of you who played the first part can agree my statement when I say that the characters from TLOU1 are the only ones, to who we have an emontional relation with. All other characters in Part2 are more or less meaningless.

    After a few days since I finished the game I clearly have some disappointment in me because I am a huge fan of Part 1 and Part 2 doesn't come anyway near. So I don't blame Neil Druckman alone for the poor written story. I mean, such a big studio should be able to handle a quality management. When I watched the credits at the end of the game and reached the part "Quality Testers" I literally thought: "OMG - You had one job". I don't really know if they were quality testers of the story tough.

    I mean, a studio what brang along masterpieces like Uncharted and a godlike game like TLOU 1 should be able to know what a good game shoud look like.

    Personal opinion about Naughty Dogs reaction:
    Claiming fans bots, transphobic or homophobic is clearly a childish behaviour when it comes to defend themselves because of the poor reviews. I mean there are people who are more tolerant related to theses points than others but I dare to say 90% of the people have a common sense and know how to criticize a game. Ok maybe the word selection could be better sometimes tough.

    However, all the hatings and discussions give TLOU2 more and more publicity what ND doesn't deserve with this regrettably poor written game.    … 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.
