    Grafics are excelent, gameplay are great, but the most important fact is the history, is a Trash, the antagonist/co-protagonist is trash, so much filler and a BAD ENDING

    The Last Of Us puede ser un gran juego, con bonitos gráficos y un buen gameplay, pero a diferencia de otros este apuesta por ser un ''pelijuego'', por lo tanto su mayor fuerte debe ser el guión, que lamentablemente es un desastre, pésimo desarrollo de personajes, pésimo final.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. to start, this game gets so bad that i made a metacritic account just to post a review.
    Political agendas pushed in any media will always ruin that form of media, every time without fail and TLOS2 is not an exception just because the first game was so awesome
    first half of the game is decent enough because at least your Ellie going after Joel's killers but then you get thrown into a crap story playing as the person who kills Joel, HORRIBLE writing.
    and the icing on the cake is that SJW's need to push their agenda and have multiple trans in the game when they are there so they can feel better about themselves, if it actually added to the story or gameplay then it could be acceptable.
    NaughtyDog is going down a dangerous path and wont be surprised when they go bankrupt 99% of people stop playing their games just so they dont have to have agendas pushed down their damn throat    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the game, I didn’t like the game, it didn’t even feel like the same franchise as the first one. The first game shouldn’t have gotten a sequel in the first place but here we are. The whole game Ellie plows through hundreds to kill Abby but yet when she actually reaches Abby she doesn’t kill her? Why? To maintain her humanity? But she’s been killed so many people how could she save her humanity by sparing one person, who has also killed tons of people. Abby is poorly written character, I don’t hate her because she killed Joel or because shes buff, she’s boring at best. She’s a violent and sarcastic soldier who has a dark past ooh so original and true whole revenge is bad plot point was so dumb. OH did you know being selfish and killing purely out of self interest is bad??? EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. The game is so heavy handed and annoying it acts like it’s telling a story that’s better than it actually is. But I’m gonna be real, I didn’t completely hate the game, I like the graphics, the actors, and the music. The part exploring the downtown area to get gas was probably my favorite part of the game just because it was beautiful, has interesting dialogue every now and then, and had the Take on Me scene. Okay game but that’s all I can say for it. Not a masterpiece by a long shot. If you want to play a game with great graphics, actors, characters, and writing with a morally gray character then play red dead redemption 2, not The Last of Us 2… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some of the combats were fun but overall the story was terrible. It would have made sense for many people to want to hunt down Joel and Ellie but this was just a revenge story for multiple characters. It makes no sense that the entire world stop looking for Ellie, Joel, or a cure. The game was intent on destroying everything fans loved about the first game. Joel, Ellie and Tommy are all destroyed, as are their relationships with each other and with everyone else. New factions are introduced and there could have been something very interesting there but the focus is purely on personal rage, revenge and hate. The story could have been redeemed a bit if Abby had offered to take Ellie to the Fireflies at the very end to complete what TLOU1 mission was and what Ellie had wanted along and what Abby’s dad wanted. The intro of yet another faction in the last 5% of the game was also never really explained. There werent even any lazy storytelling by way of found notes to give context to these rattlers, prisoners and chained zombies. Too many loose ends, too little character development, too little chemistry in the romances and no depth in these new loyalties/friendships that are introduced.… Expand

    I did not enjoy playing the game, mainly because I hated the character of Abby and because this game doesnt need to exist. The gameplay feelt a bit clunky sometimes and if I am honest the story was actually pretty boring.

    Also things like character development were pushed into the Backround. I will praise the game for things like: Graphics, sound design, acting, and Top tier animation.

    Also things like character development were pushed into the Backround. I will praise the game for things like: Graphics, sound design, acting, and Top tier animation.

    Another thing that annoyed me was the amount of false advertising, for example, in the trailer we see Joel saying the Line "You think I would let you do this on your own?" but that whole scene and Dialog was spoken by Jesse in the Final game. They kill a beloved character, wich is ok, but it needs to be done in a way that makes sense for their character arc and story, the only reason Joel died was for Ellie to get a reason to kill abby, and it didnt belong into his arc.

    For me a Sequel needs to justify its existence, this game did NOT justify its existence. And the game needs to take what the First game made great and improve it. A prime example for that is Doom Eternal. This game is gameplay-whise pretty much a clunkier version of the first game. So for me it fails as a sequel.

    I dont want to talk about the story, there are enough reviews about it, its not a good story and the rest you can read in other reviews.

    The ending is really bad. Ellie is left without anything and broke her promise to Tommy, Abby is alive, all the characters from the First game are dead, the few good characters in this game are Dead, and the game is just a setup for a new sequel. Ellie walks off : Alone, broken, a completely different person and unlikeable. Nothing was resolved, Joel's death was not done correctly. Abby's complete story and "love" story is pointless. Its not good

    Just imagine if the story was Ellie tracking down Abby and with time seeing her point of view and the same with abby. Then the ending would make a lot more sense

    I played Dishonored, a game about revenge. However, I spared Daud despite the fact he killed the Empress, the love interest of your character, and kidnapped your child. I did this because I heard his monologue about how much he regretted it. A speech to himself with nothing to prove to anybody else. Even when you meet him he doesn't beg for his life because he knows he deserves it. That's good writing. The problem here is that the Empress had little player connection, unlike Joel. So when you off a character by means of slapping fans in the face, of course they're going to get pissed. I don't think Abby necessarily deserved to die. I just think Joel was killed in a way that didn't do the fans service.

    I am tired of companies that don't care about their Fanbase. It seems like we only get trash games, and that good games are a rareity. Most of the sequel's we get are cashgrabs that use the name and good reputation of the first game. And if people keep giving this kind of Trash good reviews, the gaming industry wont change, But it needs to change. Sony made the best games in the last decade, but that seems to be over now. Lets hope Spieder-man Miles morales is good........

    I think its just like game of thrones season 8. The acting is great and the sets are amazing, but the plot doesnt make any sense and disrespects what the predecessor built. All in all (2,5/10)    … Expand

    Gameplay wise, it's okay. Nobody ever played Last of Us for gameplay. It was all cinematic gaming. I don't understand what they did with the story. These characters are nothing like the ones in the previous installment. I think if they wanted to change the character behavior like this then a reboot would've been better.

Es el vivo ejemplo de como una compañía insulta a los seguidores de un juego, la manera en la que muere Joel es simplemente una estupidez simplemente por qué parece que de la nada el Joel del primer juego dejo de ser el hombre más desconfiado del mundo para convertirse en el más ingenuo de todos. Por otro lado obligar al jugador a jugar con la asesina de Joel toda la mitad del juego es algo absurdo cuando todos quieren que se muera y sea castigada por lo que hizo, además cuando Eli la encuentra para vengarse, decide perdonarla por arte de magia,perdiendo 2dedos y quedando sola en el mundo, que final tan malo en todos los sentidos… Expand

La jugabilidad y los gráficos no son la gran maravilla pero son descentes y cumplen su función el problema viene en el gameplay que en muchas ocasiones llega a ser tedioso y repetitivo en cuanto a la narrativa no es muy rescatable teniendo muchas incongruencias en el desarrollo de los personajes como el de Joel que paso de ser una persona que desconfiaba de todo el mundo a confíar en un grupo de desconocidos armados o Ellie que de un momento a otro olvida su venganza por el otro lado el juego también intenta que simpátices con el personaje de abby metiendo situaciones convenientes en donde por medio de un patético intento de lastima el juego intenta desesperadamente que llegues a sentir empatia por ella pero esto solo logra incomodar al jugador que solo espera que su tiempo con ella termine pronto, además tenemos personajes planos y unidimensionales como Dina que sólo está ahí para recordarte que es la novia de Ellie sumado a eso tenemos muerte patéticas como las de Joel o jesee en donde se excusan de ser realistas y crudos para tapar la pobre narrativa que este juego posee, por último el final es desastroso luego de que Ellie se pasara medio juego matando sin remordimiento todas las personas que se le pusieran en frente cuando esta a punto de culminar su venganza de un momento a otro cambia de parecer por medio de un maldito flash-back dando como resultado un final forzado e incongruente con las acciones de Ellie.
    En conclusión es un juego con una jugabilidad y gráficos descentes pero con una historia y desarrollo de personaje pésima que no le hace honor al nombre que posee.    … Expand

    Being kind, I will give this game a 2 put of 10 as it does look amazing. Sadly, that is the only amazing thing about this game. A story that makes no sense, characters motivations flip flop like a fish stranded on dry land. I dedicated 25 hours to playing it but will only dedicate a minute or 2 to write a review. Neil Druckmann and Hailey gross should never work in the industry again.

The masterpiece that was the first one was almost violated. They way they force them out of the story was very disappointing and the character you end up playing was impossible to relate with or feel for.

    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.
