    R Waited 7 years for “The last of us 2.” Now I know (without spoilers) why gamers are tanking the score and the reviews (non gamers) love it. Clearly, the biggest problem in a zombie

    Pro :
    1. Good graphics, smooth animations Cons :
    1. Terrible AI. I saw bots running around in circle, stuck in invisible walls etc. Even other characters behave like absolute dunces and get stuck, can't do anything properly except for cutscenes. 2. Story - Take Revenge for X - > Spend whole time killing people - > Don't take revenge as killing is bad........ I felt cheated at this point.    Pro :

I just killed a hundred people and you are now preaching me about killing. Go home you are drunk game! Now, I am sure you all remember that this was one of the many many stories in GTA IV but even GTA IV, who is not known for story but gameplay and exploration, have players choices.

    However, the Last of Us 2 thinks we are incapable of making important choices and forces the narrative down our throat. Purchased because first game was masterpiece but this sequel left a bad taste and went backwards. Won't bother with sequel.    … Expand

    nice game ruined by a political agenda its a shame game creators get their freedom stolen to support minorities just for political reasons and not by giving a real history base in the original material just disapointing how the media push too hard to throw SOJW agenda right in our faces :(

    Do you feel bold now? Brave, perhaps? Doing what must be done? Justice? Do you feel you are changing the world? Because I don’t feel any of that.
    I feel nothing, emptiness.
    This is not art.
    You just made a statement.
    Now listen what the world has to say about it.

La trama a nivel personal me gustó, hubieron tanto momentos impactantes y crueles como conmovedores y eso hizo que brindara muchos momentos que cuesten superar. Al terminar el juego solo puedo decir que no creí lo que había visto, fue una experiencia que se asemeja a lo que sucedería en la vida real, muertes realistas y personas no siendo vistos solo como villanos, sino como personas grises que hacen acciones buenas y malas. Hubieron cosas que en la trama no me interesaron mucho, pero creo que esto es más a nivel personal como el jugar con cierto personaje, parte de su trama me encantó, pero habían aspectos de su vida que no me interesaban. El vivir este viaje con Ellie me encantó y a la vez el ver como actúa y se desarrolla en esta situación me parecieron geniales. El final si me hizo pensar y llegar a comprender por qué se hizo lo que se hizo y eso me gusta, que se pueda llegar a pensar sobre todo lo que tuvimos que digerir.
    También me hubiera gustado que se nos introdujeran un poco más de información sobre algunos personajes, darle mas protagonismo a otros para que sean mucho mas entrañables de lo que pudieron llegar a ser.    … Expand

El juego es simplemente una gozada , terminarlo en dificil fue una odisea por lo estratégico que se a vuelto aún más y la cantidad de enemigos que te pueden tocar , la verdad es que la historia está muy bien desarrollada tanto con Ellie como con Abby , se entiende la razón de Abby de porque asesino a Joel y porque ahora tiene tanta importancia en la trama , aunque a mucha gente no le gusto el final abierto en lo personal le encuentro sentido por ser el pase a la parte 3 y esto nos abre el camino a las nuevas posibilidades para estas dos personajes quizá en un futuro de ser aliadas y perdonarse 10/10 el juego .… Expand

But then it takes a hard turn and the rest of the game falls flat. Most of it feels pointless and the gist of the game is "revenge is bad." I didn't like any of the new characters aside from Dina. The best parts of the game are those first 10 or so hours and all the flashbacks (especially the flashbacks). There are still cool moments in the ladder half of the game, I just didn't care for the characters or the story. I also liked the game play quite a bit. I don't know why people harp on it so much. Lastly, there really isn't any SJW garbage that has plagued this game since even before release. Or at least there's nothing that bothered me.
    While the first half of the game is amazing and there are great moments throughout, The Last of Us Part 2 overall disappoints and is not nearly as good as its predecessor.    … Expand

    I created an account just to rate this game. It's been getting a lot of unnecessary hatred from people that wanted things to go their way over a more realistic version of reality. Get over yourselves, it didn't ruin the franchise, it was a fantastic game.

    Unbelievably disappointing and heartbreaking. I returned the game and will never purchase another title from this studio or Druckmann. I have never seen such horrible writing, pacing, and tone. They spit in the face of the fans and destroyed the characters we loved for nothing more than the furtherance of the creators ego.

    After finishing the game I feel absolutely worth the time. Beautiful world, amazing gameplay, complex characters and great stories, almost better in every aspect from part I.

    No matter how angry you feel after first few hours, plz don't rage quit and finish the game. It's totally worth it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most visually beautiful game i've ever played, that's ruined by the worst story i've ever seen.

    I will start by saying this game is absolutely beautiful. The studio did an amazing job building this world, the ambience is amazing, the lighting is amazing. Huge respect for the people who built the visuals.

    My problem here is with the unbelievably BAD and LAZY writing. Starting with Joel's death. The way it's done is absolutely horrible. The character we all loved from the first game dies a completely pathetic death that doesn't reflect the character. Joel spent more than 20 years surviving in this world, and falls for a trap that anyone would see from miles away. It's not the fact that he died, but how they've done it: It happens in the first 2 hours of the game, with barely any screentime to the character, and it is done by a character we don't know anything about.

    The game just reaps out your emotional attachment to it, so fast, you just doesn't care about it anymore. There were a million better ways to do it. You can easily build up the main character's death in a way that we can have an emotional attachment to it, and to make Ellie's revenge have an emotional meaning. But it's not how it's done here.

    If the game had built up Joel and Ellie's story before killing Joel, it would make so much more sense, and i, as a player, would be way more invested in Ellie's revenge. It's hard to believe they had 7 years to come up with a narrative, and still they did the worst thing they could have done.

    We then proceed to play more than 10 hours as Abby, a character that we absolutely hate for doing that to Joel. The game tries to justify Joel's death with 10 hours of WASTED TIME going through flashbacks and useless sections of the game. It fails miserably in trying to make you understand her side of the story.

    In short, the story is poorly written and VERY disorganized. The narrative is totally out of order, there's no character development for the main characters.

    Dina has no development whatsoever, and Jesse is barely in the game. Jesse's death was just IGNORED by all the characters, he's never mentioned again after he dies. Manny is another flat character that you just doesn't care about.

    In the end, Ellie's revenge meant nothing. Joel died, Jesse died and don't get to see his son, Tommy is disabled, Ellie lost 2 fingers, her baby and her girlfriend. And Abby just walks away, successfully avenging her father, who's just a NPC from the first game.

    As an absolute fan of the first game, i am sad with what Naughty Dog has done to this sequel. They had 7 years to build the perfect sequence to the masterpiece that was the first one, but they managed to make a completely garbage storyline. Looks like it was done in the laziest way possible.    … Expand

    The gameplay is a small improvement over the past. The story, with some real inconsistent pacing, is still bold, risky and intense.

    Overall the game was crafted with an amazing amount of love and passion for game making in general. I did have mixed feelings through out the whole story but the direction was very bold and progressive which I wish more games would be. The toxicity of the gaming community is truly visible just by the user reviews here. Overall I'm happy with how the game was made and I'm glad it exists

    They ruined the saga by producing characters without charisma and forcing you to play with characters that it is impossible to empathize with, and if I only wanted to kill zombies and armed people I would play the damn call of duty black ops.

    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]
