    el gamplay es muy bueno pero la narrativa es pésima, personajes secundarios intrascendentes, arcos evolutivos malos (sobre todo el de elly, no doy detalles para no spoilear), abby es un deux ex machina desde el principio hasta el final, abusaron de un elemento narrativo como las flasback y aun peor varios de estos se sienten fuera de contexto y rompen el ritmo de juego logrando así que porel gamplay es muy bueno pero la narrativa es pésima, personajes secundarios intrascendentes, arcos evolutivos malos (sobre todo el de elly, no doy detalles para no spoilear), abby es un deux ex machina desde el principio hasta el final, abusaron de un elemento narrativo como las flasback y aun peor varios de estos se sienten fuera de contexto y rompen el ritmo de juego logrando así que por lo menos yo no quisiera continuar jugando the last fue y sera un juego que vive por su narrativa y lastimosa mente también morirá por ella...… Expand

    The game sucks, the plot sucks, it's like a bad fanfic version of The Last of Us. I would have expected this from a teenage video game writing course and been pleasantly surprised at the themes they "tried" to deal with. From a big budget studio.... whoa. I honestly can't believe that shareholders can look at this "product" and think "Oh, that's a good investiture of my money. Lets do it again!"

    How could they think this story was ok in anyway? It is an insult to the first game in every way possible.

    Incredible game, better than the first (which was my favourite game on PS3 and the 1st I bought on PS4) in every way!

    I'm ok with people liking the game, but real fans of the story can't stand by a positive review. It is not possible. I have accepted the message of the game. On the other hand, from a studio that strives for masterful story-telling, this game is a spiteful nightmarish slap in the face to fans. Story with PLOTHOLES and atrocious character development.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are simply amazing. The gameplay...wasn't much different from the previous one, which was good but it was for a PS3 game. They could evolve it a little bit more. That being said I was satisfied with it plus it had a few "chase" parts that were simply amazing. Now storywise...that was the big issue. The game had it's heartwarming scenes that we were expecting but it was a little bit lacking from the get go. On the first one you saw the characters develop and slowly care for one another. With this one you have mainly a revenge story. You also had more than a few subplots that in my opinion were not needed. The relationship with Dina could be more explored and developed I believe if they didn't spend so much time on the "bbg" of the game Abby. I really didn't get the same emotions for her relationship with Owen as I got from Ellie and Dina. And frankly how could I? All I knew about her was that she mercilessly tortured and killed one of my favorite characters. When I fought Ellie while I was controlling Abby I kept losing because I didn't want to kill Ellie. We could understand why she did what she did but they shouldn't try so hard to make us like her. The fact that we undestand why she did it doesn't mean we can forgive or even forget it an then go on ahead and root for her. As for the whole LGBTQ agenda that many are saying. You already have Ellie (and since you decided to give her a love interest, Dina) which is nice. They are fleshed out charactera that their sexual preferences doesn't dictate their whole character. But when you meet Lev (who personally I liked as a character way more than I did Abby) it feels a bit forced. His whole story arc ia because he is (biologically speaking) a woman and as a result he suffers for it. And finally the end...well I really felt like I played for nothing. Abby got to live with Lev (most likely they went to the Fireflies) and Ellie got what? She lost Joel, she lost Dina and JJ. She lost her ability to play the guitar and express her emotions that way. So...why did I played through that story? Really unsatisfying ending. Tommy got injured for life, he ruined his marriage and he didn't get revenge for his brother. And Joel died. So everyone we came to love and wanted to see again after so many years got screwed over pretty bad. In every sense and in every way. While the "villains" of the story got on top. Sure Abby lost her love Owen but she can rebuilt her life and find someone else. Lev lost his sister but he got another "sister" in Abby and both found a new life with each other and propably with the Fireflies. I know someone said that she was bit but she really didn't show it. Anyone who is bitten looks way worse and is suffering. Even if she was bitten that makes it an even worse end because she leaves with Lev...so what? She'll turn on the boat and eat him? Let's say that they HAD managed to make me like Abby. With such an ending I would be furious! Amyway, I know that a point this game and this story was trying to make was that as with life here as well things are not just black and white. Ellie actually did exactly what Abby did. But I really didn't need to see characters I loved this much suffer for no reason. There was no catharsis. Shame for such a great story to end up like that. My score is 6.4 (there are no decimals so 6) mainly because of the technical aspects of the game and for the really emotional flashbacks Ellie was having (both good memories and bad).… Expand

    I really loved the gameplay, characters and especially the story. It was simply perfect to me, but my 0 goes for the crunch the naughty dog company. U can't treat like that to your employers just because u have no time, i hope that with a bad rating naughty could finally see that sometimes is worth to realease the game later just to make it better for the players and FOR THE EMPLOYS

The story telling is elementary at best, at no point was I stricken with awe and wondering how someone came up with this plot. Shock value for the sake of shock value is meaningless, they changed way too many key plot points and designs for this to even be considered the same game with the same characters. The only scene I felt like I was playing The Last of Us was in the Museum flashback. They also destroyed the best PlayStation exclusive and I could see this actively damaging the sales for the PS5. If you were expecting another Last of Us game with Joel and Ellie actually behaving like themselves instead of morphing into completely different people, this is flat out not it.

    The graphics in certain parts and the feel of tension from the engagements with enemies are the only reasons I’m giving this a 3 instead of a 0.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i will give everything except the story of this game a 9 out of 10, but for fans of the first game like me, all that matters is the story here. This is a bad game isn't because Joel got killed, or the way the storyline was organised. The point here is that all the characters are acting like someone else and Neil Druckmann just manipulated them to bring whatever story himself wanted in order to force all the players to accept his own values and to satisfy his own ego. All the social justice **** he put into this game just doesn't fit in the World of TLOU where all that matters is survival. The first game was a master piece because being putted in the same situation I would take the same choices just like Joel and Ellie, not like some Dolls of SJW. Also as Asian i don't feel funny when Ellie said she doesn't like Jesse just because he is a Asian, you won't joke around with black peoples like that. 7 years of waiting and all the hard works of the talented developers in Naughty Dog, all wasted because of Neil Druckmann.… Expand

    Really disliked the first game’s story, saw that a lot of fans of it hated the second so I decided to give it a try. Still sucks.
    Boring, filled with uninteresting and unlikable characters like the first one. Too long.
    Gameplay works so I migh have given it a 1 but it wasn’t fun. So 0.

    A shell of a game. A beautiful, atmospheric world gone to waste by some of the worst storytelling in video game history. This is beyond bad writing, it is propaganda.

    This game lacks of SOUL.
    All the characters, even Ellie, are empty. You don’t feel bad for any of them. It seems like the Ellie of Pt1 is not the same person in the Pt2. Even Alice the dog had more soul than any of them. You’re getting to a point where a character’s death is worthless.
    Hated this game and I don’t even wanna talk about this (stupid?) end.

    I do really loved the first game and trully was a fan of it, it makes me really sad to see how they have destroyed ALL you loved from the first game without any payoff, and I trully waited until the end of my gameplay to see if going through all of it was worth it... be warned... it wasn't..

    Graphics: 8/10 taking Metro Exodus/Shadow of the Tomb Rider/RDR2 as 10's (PC versions ofc)    I do really loved the first game and trully was a fan of it, it makes me really sad to see how they have destroyed ALL you loved from the first game without any payoff, and I trully waited until the end of my gameplay to see if going through all of it was worth it... be warned... it wasn't..

    Game play itself is alright. start to drag really hard toward the half end but acting and graphic save the day. HOWEVER, i just couldn't deal with all the moronic decisions characters make and narratives the dev tried to pull just to get to the end goal. It's sad, i was really looking forward to it :(

    Tlou 2 was mediocre at best. Gameplay was same fun gameplay tlou 1 had. Story was mediocre revenge story we've all seen before. Nothing new there. Abby sucked ass. Pure trash character. Absolutely worst part of the game was that naughty dog forced me to play that steroid **** I never expected this to be as good as tlou1 but come on, this game was just bad compared to the first.

    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]
