    Good Graphics, scenarios look amazing
    Decent Game play, gives some tweeks from the style of the first game
    Terrible Story, pretty much spits on the character growth from the part 1

    Se burlan del jugador

    Le pongo 2 porque el juego como juego es bueno para matar zombies Pero se hubiera llamado mata zombies 3000

    Pero se cargaron en la historia y en los personajes

No tiene relación el modo de pensar de los personajes entre el 1 y el 2, es como si jugaras un videojuego totalmente diferente con los mismos personajes. La inclusión forzada toma demasiado protagonismo y no se siente real y fluida como si lo fue en la primera parte. Es horrendo ver cómo se desconectan totalmente de la raíz del primer videojuego para hacer un drama adolescente en el segundo, si alguien me dice que los escritores de Netflix escribieron este guion sin jugar el primer juego lo creería. Excelentes paisajes, algunos bugs y mucha decepción. Igualmente pienso darle la oportunidad a la tercera parte si la crítica de los jugadores muestra una vuelta positiva en ella.… Expand

I’ve played games that had **** graphics and gameplay yet came back more satisfied than this disappointment. If you can’t get players to be invested with the story and world created then graphics and gameplay mechanics don’t mean anything. Better playing the first Last of Us game. Not worth the 60 dollars better getting it on sale for 20 or used at 25-30.… Expand

    >Joel foolishly believed he could trust outsiders when he was NEVER like that to begin with.
    >Kill off Joel without him saying much to Abby, and no lastwords to Ellie.
    >Force us to play Abby, the one who took Ellie's father Joel away from her.
    >You changed Ellie's looks... to where she's unrecognizable in some aspects compared tothe first game.
    >Made the game way too easy.
    >While you managed to make the world feel somewhat immersive, you still made it feel super empty.
    >The Seraphites were a knockoff of Eden's Gate from Far Cry New Dawn.
    >Gave us a bittersweet first ending where Ellie settles down with Dinah but it still felt lonely, then made everything go go **** with PTSD.
    >Made a tortured Ellie travel a far far way to kill Abby, BUT ONLY TO SPARE THE ENEMY. There was NO reason to let all of those killings be in vain. The real Ellie believed that it couldn't be for nothing. Nobody would have hunted down Ellie or anyone else if Abby was killed. Joel was literally just saving his daughter from being murdered, and then he had to pay with his life. Ellie lost her father with the last memories of him being beaten to death, into a bloody pulp. So she let's the one that caused her so much pain and agony go, unjustified mercy. Abby got so many people on both sides killed. So Abby also takes Ellie's two fingers from her. Who thought this was a good idea?
    >after all that, Dina leaves her. You killed Joel, but you turned Ellie's lide into HELL.
    I knowhow the review system works for the most part, but I doubt the official reviews were genuine in any way, shape, or form. Anything bellow a 5 is pretty much negative. So this 2 was well deserved. The idea you were still able to get 5 and up is disgusting. The only thing good about this game was the strong attention to physical detail, but that's really it. This was one of the greatest disappointments for me. I over looked the PC stuff that even I'm personally opposed to, only to find out it really doesn't matter because either way, this was one of the largest media failures in a long while. Now ND can't even take the criticism and try to do right by people. May they go bankrupt. I've signed the petition to urge Sony to rework TLOU Part 2's story. Maybe they can replace Druckmann with somebody worthy of giving the Last of Us the sequel it actually deserves. I can only hope    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly what a piece of **** **** Even the incredible combat system and outstanding graphics aren’t enough to redeem this game of its terrible story. So this game is Ellie trying to kill Abby, so why the **** do we play as Abby. The theatre scene when you’re playing as Abby trying to kill Ellie pissed me the **** off because it makes no sense. You expect us to care about Abby when we see her torture Joel, pop Jessi in the face, shoot out Tommy’s eye, and nearly kill Dina? **** that shrek step sister looking ass **** And we wanna see her literally get ****ed? I almost threw up when I saw that ****’s man **** And that **** ending. You’re telling me Ellie tortures Nora and gets about 5 tactical nukes from killing all those **** scars and wolfs but at the end, the person that she killed everyone for gets to live. The message at the end was supposed to be “revenge is bad” but it’s not a good message considering all you do in this game is kill ****ers. I’m literally never gonna play this game again in my life, I’ve played the first one about 6 times and I could still go back to it and have a blast. This game has no replayability considering the story pisses you off.… Expand

If you like a game that consistently flashes back to the past instead of generating forward movement, then you may be less angry than I am. Especially once you hit the character switch for "narrative purposes" you will be met with fluff that I think is plain and dumb.

    Lastly, Why are these factions in the game other than to be an obstacle to be killed? They feel like fodder because they are. What a shame. If i could get a refund, I would. Better off playing the first game again and purge this mess of a story.    … Expand

    The fact that the main character loses everything in their plot for revenge yet the antagonist gets away scott free without even a sense of remorse or self-inspection is a huge turnoff from the story.
    Numerous plot holes, lack of chemistry between characters, unlikable personalities from everyone besides the old characters, it's insane how such a low effort story made its way onto this series.

    And who cares about the gameplay when the developers were clearly only trying to sell its story? If all you talk about in trailers and interviews is the story, then that's what I'm going to focus on. Good graphics are easy to do nowadays, gameplay is just copy-paste of a 7 year old game with mindless new additions that don't take away the repetitive aspect of it. It's a mess, a waste of money, and honestly, a disgrace to the series, which seems to have died already at the second game.

    Maybe the company shouldn't have fired the people that actually made good games like Amy Hennig or Bruce Straley. I think little druck is probably angry knowing he'll never reach the talent or creativity of those two.    … Expand

    Its not getting a 0 ONLY because of gameplay and graphics refinement. TLOU was always about the characters and events they go through, how they live through those events and what will become. TLOU 2 is just garbage. Game's story is so cringeworthy that sometimes I wanted to just throw my controller out of the window and burn my ps4. SuBvErt ExpEcTAtiOns my ass.

    That's the only good thing about this. Everything else is either mediocre or down right awful. The game play did not evolve one bit since the first game. It's still a walking simulator that's more a movie than a game, which would be enjoyable if it had a good story but God damn is it bad. The story simply broke my heart and not in the good way. It's like a spit in the face of the entire fan base. It's like the worst fan fiction you could possibly find. Seriously? It's full of plot holes and the characters you fell in love with in the first game are completely ruined and you are forced to play with the character that ruined them. I don't mind the woke stuff but when so much of it is obviously forced down your throat it feels like the entire game was built around it so if people don't like it you can pull the victim card and say that they are ists and phobes and whatever. And the director to preach so much about sexualising women in games is bad only than to put that Abby scene in the game? I can't unsee that. What were you thinking? Let me tell you a little secret game devs. People are playing games for entertainment and they'd rather see pretty things while doing it than ugl.. excuse me FUGLY ones! This is never going to change. How is sexualising men was never a problem? People don't like to be preached to and to be told what to think. In a video game setting, that choice should be always ours. Overall, I don't recommend this, especially if you were a fan of the previous one. maybe get it wen free from PlayStation plus    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spit in the face for me and everyone who loved the first part of this story and the DLC. You had it all, a good story, a good drama, the most beautiful graphics we had seen that year, in short, a Masterpiece, and now you just ruined everything the worst way... You force us to love or understand the reasons and history of this character (Abby) and that was not enough for you, but you make us play with her and save her too, before killing Joel. It was supposed to cause us some kind of pain and have empathy with her, right? The truth was not achieved in the least.

    The strength of TLOU was the relationship between Ellie and Joel after having lost Sara, the fact that he cared for her as his own daughter, you could kill any other character and give a very similar drama and feelings to us, the fans. You could have even made us fall in love with Tommy and then kill him or do a massacre and then Ellie & Joel's revenge, but what made the game so successful years ago, was the relationship between them, as main characters... Even the end of the game is horrible, all for nothing, at least you should get revenge for Joel.

    I loved this story, the most perfect one, it even surpassed that of many movies. The only thing that makes me give this rating are the graphics, they are still beautiful, even more, some of the most realistic for these times, and yet it isn't enough for the disaster that you did to the game. :/

    All those who comment that it was a good plot line is because they are not real fans of the game, perhaps it is just one more game that they just liked. But for true fans it was the worst thing ND could have done.    … 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.
