    Looks good, Played the same as Last of Us 1. Not many gameplay improvements.

    I found the story boring and a slap in the face to fans, who waited 7 years for this sequel. I have no issue with the LGBT elements of the game, with Ellie its not her entire character, its a main point but she is more than just a lesbian character.

    I have no issue with the LGBT elements of the game, with Ellie its not her entire character, its a main point but she is more than just a lesbian character. I have issue with playing 10 hours of a character who killed a main beloved character in as humiliating away as possible, for what? Try to find common ground with said character and myself?
    Ultimately it felt that the story didn't know where it was going.
    2/10 For improving graphics on the first game, sound design, and level design.
    Sadly the lack of improvements on the gameplay, and the story drag the score so low.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Such a disappointment. Ignoring the blatant pandering and promoted drug use, the story strays too much from the central characters with perhaps the most obvious and telegraphed plot in the history of Gaming since Asteroids Boring and bleak from start to finish. I do not recommend.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I respect and admire the game developer of the Naughty Dog Labs, you are story tellers, I like that so I would like to send a feedback. THE LAST OF US was one of the games that made me a proud of being a PlayStation User, the potential of this game was over the sky, the mechanics and new graphics was/is crazy. I am still playing online the first game. So I obviously waited so long for this. *Spoilers ahead*

    And you have the audacity to kill my favourite character at the hands of this RondaRussey looking **** with a Golf club, A **** NORDIC BARBARIAN BEATS THE **** OUT OF poor Joel’s head. And you don’t stop there, you make me play up to 20 hours with this character that doesn’t exist yet I developed such a anger and resentment. I don’t know, I guess I got my expectations too high for a game that I have no control over, is like falling in love with the wrong person. Jessie, Shot in the face, does happen in front of Ellie, so did Joel and Tommy got hit on his eye in front of her as well. What does she do? Lose her fingers and her family. This is not about money, I don’t care if I have to pay more for a DLC, (already pay too much as I got “special” edition. ) Give me something else in Santa Barbara, go to the fireflies and get and alternative cure I DONT KNOW, but please do something


    Don’t make me play again with the murder of my favourite character, I don’t care if she is the Pope lost daughter, I don’t like Abby, I don’t want to play a game where I hate the character.    … Expand

    naughty dog is try to be creative to tell 2 different viewpoints who is wrong or right between Abby and Ellie but it didn't enough to make player care to Abby's story. if they isn't rash and just focus on Abby side on last of us 2. it will make better delivery story.

    I believed NaughtyDogs undoubtedly would create another masterpiece. Unfortunately, what I found that made the first game great was missing, storyline. It’s terribly written with condescending attitudes. Left me very sour when I finished the game

    The story is trash. The gameplay is the same of the 1st game 7 years ago, the enemies are almost the same. The AI is stupid. Good graphics, level design and mocap work

La jugabilidad esta bien, la banda sonora, los graficos, todo esta genial, pero se les olvido que en un juego narrativo, lo verdaderamente importante es la historia, Matan a Joel y Ellie emprende su venganza, mata a 500 personas y despues le perdona la vida al asesino disque para terminar con el circulo de la venganza, desde ahi ya es incoherente, y ni hablar de lo mucho que se esmeraron por hacer el juego "inclusivo" metiendo situaciones LGBTI a diestra y siniestra, solo para demostrar agenda, forzando la historia, que bueno que lo compre en físico, asi lo pude vender en cuanto lo pasé.… Expand

Humiliating my favourite character Joel by killing him in such way was something I neither expected nor wanted it to happen. You can't just bring new characters and making them heroes.
    Joel IS the last of us.
    I give it 2/10 just for the good gameplay and graphics.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story in this game is absolutely terrible. The gameplay is really annoying too, why does dodging basically never work? Melee combat is SO broken you can't dodge attacks and when you attack they block 90% of the time. And you don't put your arm around character's anymore when you're both using the same cover, in fact it pushes you away from cover and often gets you spotted. They rush everything in this game (even though it's long. I beat it in about 28-30 hours and it was a chore)and it doesn't carry any emotion like in the first one, they just go for shock value at the cost of character development. And don't even get me started on how broken the fight against Ellie in the theater is. It feels like they went " the first game was a masterpiece, how can we take that world and its character's and ruin it in every way just to piss off everyone who loves it". I avoided the trailers and reviews and everything else about this game so I could experience it for myself in all its glory, except it has none. This game feels like a slap in the face by naughty dog while they are laughing about it.… 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]
