    This game is a slap in the face to everyone that loved the first game. Do not buy this and save your money. The truth and context of this game is much worse than the leaks. The gameplay is very average in today's modern gaming generation. There are minor improvements from the first game and enemy AI is dumb as ever. There are more cut scenes and walking than actual gameplay.

    Slow start that seems to be building torwards something great. Very disappointing overall. The audio and graphics are good but not enough to save the horrible plot.

    Gráficos: Aquí es donde no hay dudas que a estos señores no hay estudio que se pueda poner a su altura tienen un nivel en genral muy alto y sobre todo en la segunda parte que todos sabemos que han escondido muy bien los señores (por llamarlos de alguna manera) de ND.
    Sonido: Cumplen sin más no hay ninguna melodía que se grabe a fuego como en el 1.
    Jugabilidad: Un control exquisito al nivel del "MGSV" con todo tipo de movimientos y muchas maneras de llevar a cabo la aventura.Aquí como contra diría que hay mucha parte del juego que parecemos buscadores de cajones sin que pase nada y se hace muy aburrido.
    Historia/Narrativa: Aquí sin duda el apartado donde se han estrellado contra un muro y no hay quien arregle el desastre lleno de incongruencias por todos lados una historia que no tiene sentido y la que te quieren hacer mostrar está muy mal ejecutada, personajes que no tienen alma, situaciones muy forzadas, escenas que sobran, historia alargada artificalmente, engaños publicitarios que en el juego no salen y los han cambiado y podríamos seguir no se entiende como en el 1 ND sobre salió con este juego por este apartado que fue lo que lo hizo único y en este lo ha echado todo por el retrete se lo tienen que hacer mirar y mucho.
    por todo esto pienso que no se merece más de la nota que le doy.    … Expand

    The story of the game is very forced and bad. They simply endeavored to displease the players who waited seven years to follow the sequence. Unfortunately, innovations cannot save the bad story created for the game.

First the attention to details in this game is phenomenal, the gameplay feels satisfying ,and the graphics one of the best out there, However all I mentioned was present in the first game ,sure it has improved a lot , but that's technology , we shouldn't judge the game by these aspects but by the story,, The idea is smart ,the execution was horrible , the game is based around characters doing stupid decisions ,2 or 3 bad decisions we might understand but the game is filled with them , the characters are nothing like the ones we've seen in the first game , they lost everything defining them and that is annoying abby is not likeable at all ,,the game failed at making me build any sympathy for her , abby and ellie are both unlikable in this game and this is coming from a fan of the first game , the only one I liked was Joel he did bad stuff but reddemed himself and he was portrayed as this evil monster At the end I felt no progress whatsoever , the abby hours felt boring and annoying and added nothing to the story , the game is all about killing people we spend hours murdering people in cold blood that had nothing to do with abby and were only protecting their land ,, and when one of abby's friends die ellie feels bad for it , it's weird and forced , the only good parts were Joel and ellie's flashbacks , they took everything that made the first game brilliant and just destroyed it Revenge is bad for ellie and good for abby huh ,what a Joke ,,,,,To quote Joel's words "SEE THERE WAS A SEQUEL , ,,WASN'T AS GOOD .… Expand

    At this point I will not give Naughty Dog any money. The game gets 1 for graphics, physics, and art style. I can't deny that the visuals are astounding until you look at Abby. Nobody asked for Abby, nobody wanted Abby, yet the Ma'am was shoved down our throats regardless. Unless the Online comes out with great potential I will not spend a penny.

    Keep your agendas to yourself. When it’s obvious that a game is trying to “influence” people, it becomes easy to see that the game does not respect its players.

When it’s obvious that a game is trying to “influence” people, it becomes easy to see that the game does not respect its players. There are facets of the game that further support this idea i.e giving the player no agency in morally reprehensible or bankrupt decisions; this comes off as trying to convince the player that this is “the dark hatred game” which is incredibly annoying. When a game makes as much effort as possible to remove the player’s ability to formulate opinions and make choices throughout the playthrough, the game is not engaging and intriguing to the player, it is annoying and dismissive. By force feeding us, you are treating us as if we are incapable of dissecting and interpreting the game ourselves, which is infuriating, and to that end it becomes easy to see that the game solely exists to sell us something (N**l **ckmann’s agenda). The narrative is messy. The game is burdened by uninteresting new characters. Almost every character in the game feels like an inhuman caricature of what a person is supposed to be like. The main characters are so artificial that they can hardly be taken seriously, which discredits the story. The cutscenes are extremely overly gratuitous (both in violence and in sexuality), to the point that it’s offensive. Several sections of the game seem to severely overstay their welcome. The gameplay itself is more varied than that of its predecessor, but this one positive is marred by the fact that the game is simpler and easier than its predecessor, contributing to the fact that the game is flat out boring in some parts. After playing The Last of Us Part II, it’s clear to see that N**l **ckmann hated J**l, and hated the original game, as this game desperately tried to alienate itself from its predecessor, while trying ever so hard to create a new and different identity for itself. Unfortunately, The Last of Us Part II will only be remembered as a loud and ugly failure. I feel sorry for the those who fell in love with The Last of Us in 2013, who waited 7 years only to be so incredibly disappointed and aggressively disrespected. I feel sorry for the developers who had no say in the game’s direction, who knew full well that the game they were working tirelessly on would be received poorly. People hate this game for a reason, and paying for positive reviews from game critics, while simultaneously removing negative reviews from actual players will only make people’s opinions on this game worse.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER: Please do not read this review if you haven't finished this game. This game has the worst ending and the most annoying character called Dina which happened to be a pretty important character in the game. I think many of us played this game for hours with the mindset based on the pre release trailer or encounter between Abby and Joel. I couldn't believe how horribly Naughty Dog ended the game. It was just very disappointing to invest so many hours in this game. What was the purpose of this game? Ellie didn't do anything to respond appropriately to the brutality showed by Abby. Ellie instead kept taking beating by Abby. This game has the weakest main character. I think Abby's character was much stronger and meaningful than Ellie's character. Such a disappointment. I have never given 1 star to any games before, but after finishing Ghost of Tsushima I am happy with 1 star rating for this game. I hope Naughty Dog would learn something from Sucker Punch. Last of Us II is the ONLY game that I have ever pre-ordered. One thing is for sure, I will never pre-order any Naughty Dog's game. It's a lesson learned. Given such a terrible Metacritic User Score for this game, I would say majority of the people are disappointed with Naughty Dog. I hope in the future people wait to buy games by Naughty Dog until enough user reviews are in and then buy if the reviews are good. I am NOT going to spend my money on some crappy games by Naughty Dog.… Expand

    They ruined the game with bad story and ending. Part1 is the best game in history but part2 story and ending doesn’t even make any sense !!!!!! There is so much wrong about this game for example joel’s death!!! In part1 he ran over someone because he didn’t trust him and didn’t believe he is hurt but in part2 he trusted a girl and his group!!!!???? What!????? Why should we play abby ?!!! What the hell????? Why should we play someone that killed joel????? Why should we play abby and shoot ellie !????? What???? Why should we hurt ellie????? They wanted us to understand abby?!!!! No one cares about abby! Whyyyy should we play someone who killed joel and hurt ellie so bad ???!!! What hell was this game???!!! I think we played abby around 10 hours !!! What??????? We will never hurt ellie and we will hate abby until we die and we wish abby die always . what was this!!!? We love ellie and joel more than anything!!!!! And we care about them more than anything . Neil durkman you ruined the last of us . There is so much wrong !!! There is still a chance to fix this . Make part3 fast and start it like joel wakes up and part2 was all his nightmare . I know it kinda sounds stupid but if you think about it its not stupid !! Make better story and ending . All of the fans will love it and it will be so so much better than this part2!!!! Im 100% sure it will be great if you make it like part1 and joel wakes up and it part2 was all his nightmare . You ruined part2 and if you guys do sth like what i sad it will be brilliant. Please fix everything . You still can fix everything.    … Expand

    After waiting a long time for a sequel, this game was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Part of why I like this game was because of the infected enemies, and in this sequel they barely play any role. It's almost as if these developers hated the developers that made the first one. Do not waste your money and save it for something else.

Them they give you a horrible revenge plot that ends up falling through anyway. PLUS they make you play as Abby for a whole chunk of the game after his death. This means that players are forced to play a character that they hate for a large portion of the game. It makes the game unbelievably hard to finish playing. Then Ellie’s girlfriend leaves her and on top of that Ellie can no longer play Joel’s song. Terrible game, don’t recommend.… Expand

If someone plays it without experiencing the first one then they could be a lot more forgiving about its story and plot , and a lot more impressed about its graphics and gameplay. However, if someone has played through the experience of the original Last of Us , taking part in the journey of the amazing characters of Joel and Ellie and witnessing the bond they develop , then they cannot be as enthusiastic about this game.
    The reason this game SEEMS so divisive is because is is unbelievably good in some aspects and incredible bad in some others. This is obvious considering that EVERYBODY admires and respects the former and EVERYBODY either greatly dislikes or tries to defemd to some degree the latter.
    What everybody loves : It is undeniable that this game looks amazing. The graphics, the sounds, the environment and the interaction with it is astonishing and really sets the golden standard from now on. The gameplay is enhanced without diverting a lot from the original which is at the very least interesting and entertaining.
    What nobody loves : There is a reason why players have strong negative opinions about the story , the plot , the characters, the character development and the theme/politics that are presentd. And it is not because they are all bigots all of a sudden and cant handle the diversity, it is because of the way they are introduced to the the themes of the game and the course of action their characters follow. The reason why people loved the first game was because they were exposed to the immersive realistic and believable connection between Ellie and Joel that slowly formulated in this post apocalyptic world. The distand , cold and heart broken man eventually becoming the father figure to the young but cheerful, witty and strong girl that reminded him of the joys of life and gave it meaning once again. That strong bond that built up throughout the game was in the end the reason why players could justify his choice to spare her life, being inable to lose his daughter again , and possibly denying the creation of a vaccine by her sacrifice.
    In the sequel however, the bond between the charactes seems unrealistic and forced simply for driving the story. Players dont get to witness any strong characters developing over time and strengthening their affiliation with one another. As a result the fail to sympathize with the and care about their progression.
    Apart from that the characters themselves are flat, uninteresting and unlikable for the most part. Ellie is grown but that doesnt mean she has to be cold , emotionless, ungrateful and self concerned as she appears to be during most of the game and especially when she confronts Joel about saving her life. Any other character seems equally uninteresting and unimportant with very little impact .
    The choices f the characters are usully puzzling , idiotic , dangerous , dangerous and lead to way too many near death situations where plot armour instead of characters skills prevent their demise.
    Special mention , Abby who is the new addition and besides her near monstrous look is utterly unlikable despite the many attempts of the game to present her as though she is , and in the end does not find redemption in the hearts and minds of the players . The infamous initial encounter of her and Joel simply cannot be justified even when considering the death of her father. Such violence and hatred is just unacceptable and would make one believe that Joel enjoys killing his victims slowly while cutting them to pieces and making their relatives watch. It is just such a disproportionate response , it is unthinkable.
    The plot is confusing , mishandled , lacks a clear noble goal besides vengeance and doesnt deliver in the end. It lacks passion , enthusiasm , meaning and has just a chep provocation that if one has not played the first game really doesnt even care for as much. Overall it is abysmal and the main reason why the game doesnt have good lasting impressions and motivation for completion.
    And FINALLY the undeniable, the indisputable , the unquestionable and crystal clear message of the game, DIVERSITY. The reason why so many people are annoyed by the theme of the game is not because they are bigots , homophobes, sexists , misogynistes and cis gender white males. These accusations are used daily more and more in order to shelf someone or something from criticism since they are extremely vague to the point that they can be addressed to anyone. It is extremely easy to make these accusations and therefore divert the attention from the main subject.
    This game is filled with politics and progressive messages that are as irrelevant for a post apocalyptic world as they are forced into the story. The strong,homosexual female protagonist , the giant monstrous looking female antagonist.    … Expand

    Gameplay and graphics are overwhelmingly well executed. That said, it's also about 95% identical to the first game. The mechanics and the fighting has changed very little Add to that a world already designed once, it's really just following in the footsteps of it's predecessor. This is a good game, standing on the shoulders of a legendary game. My low score is reflected in the fact that the narrative of the game defecates on said giant. It retroactively ruins one of the best games ever made. It's such a bad story, that it is actually pulling down an otherwise great game into the mud. This should've been a new title. The Director should've kept his hands far away from the beloved characters and existing storyline from 13 years ago.    … Expand

    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.
