    Is that even a game? Just political nonsense, total garbage nothing to do with the first game that was indeed good, that game is absolutely the worse 'game' ever made. Boring, annoying, disgusting, who wrote it have ZERO talent, if you want to push your agenda into people, at least do a good work like they did in GTA V, a game totally full of nonsense dialogue principally the ending butIs that even a game?

    dumbest tiresome game ever. Its one of those movies(not games) that think it's so smart by being unnecessarily bleak and brutal. NO YOU ARE NOT.

    The beginning of the end for this franchise. Technically sound but pathetic story.

    I won't be able to finish it. They make you do a thing half way through that I won't put myself through. Not worth it. This game ended with the first one for me. That was a true masterpiece. This is story telling at its absolute worst.

    Around 7 years ago I was battling depression and suicidal thoughts and was so lucky to come across one of PewDiePie's videos of TLOU1 as I was browsing YouTube while eating Tandoori Chicken Masala.

What is this withcraft I thought to myself and went straight toAround 7 years ago I was battling depression and suicidal thoughts and was so lucky to come across one of PewDiePie's videos of TLOU1 as I was browsing YouTube while eating Tandoori Chicken Masala. As I was watching the gameplay I was amazed at how much emotion I was feeling through my apathy and anhedonic mental state. What is this withcraft I thought to myself and went straight to PS-store and bought the game.

    Finally, I could feel something after months and months of anxiety, helplessness and lethargy. Watching Joel's daughter die and feeling myself get more and more attached to Joel and Ellie was something I hadn't felt in years. The game's amazing graphics, Gustavo Santaolalla's bittersweet music and the incredible plot gave me hope. It gave me hope for life, something which my entire existence had been lacking for so long. It gave me back hope to keep on fighting and resist the void that was in my heart. The Last of Us reminded me that there still exists beauty in the world and that there are human relationships in this world that are worth looking for and fighting for. Just like Joel and Ellie find something that they considered worth fighting for.

    As I was finishing the first game 7 years ago I started crying. I was sad and felt the helplessness and apathy for life slowly sneak its way back into my mind. I knew that the comfort and camaraderie that Joel and Ellie gave me had reached its end, but I knew I had to let them go. They had taught me to appreciate life and not be sad. Life's not too bad kiddo, like Joel would say. However, in my heart I was still hoping and begging that Naughty Dog would one day release a part 2 so I could join Ellie and Joel on another adventure and this time in a next-gen console with even better graphics and an even better story-line.

    Two days ago I bought Part2, and I couldn't stop playing it. Frantically moving around as Ellie and Abbie hoping to finally go on adveture with Joel and Ellie once more. Seeing glimses of Joel and Tommy brought warmth and hope back into my heart. Finally, my two best friend would be together, but the tone was off from the start, so I was unsure what to think. Ellie was acting funny and Joel was distant in a strange way, like he had lost his tough brutal mentality.

    I finished the game earlier today, and I am left speechless. I have no words. As the credits rolled in, I reluctantly pressed the button to the PS4 disk and shakingly removed the disk out of the console. Carrying the disk to the kitchen I placed my hand onto the stove. I turned on the stofe started burning my hand. I was uttering "This is what happens when you have hope, this is what happens". With second-degree burns I place the disk back into its cover and head off to the living room. I sit on the sofa and contemplate. What now? Is this it? Was this the game that I was hoping and waiting for 7 years? Was this the game that saved me from suicide 7 years ago? Were these the characters that helped me realize that life isn't too bad after all?

    I went back to my room and picked up the disk with its cover once again. Like Joel picking up Ellie from the operating table in game 1, I picked up my newly bought game and carried it over to my game collection. As I was walking down to the basement I whisphered in its ear. "listen kiddo, everything is gonna be alright, dont worry, I gotcha". Carrying my child down to the basement made me realize how much I loved my kid. My bond with this game was too grand to let it go, but I knew unlike Joel in the first game that I had to let go, but I just couldnt. As I was placing the disk besides The last of us 1 and being reminded how much emotion that game made me feel. I felt ashamed and sad for placing TLOU2 besides it. I decided that I couldn't. I simply couldn't let it be in the same room as this game. I took TLOU2 out of the shelf and ran back up to the kitchen. I turned the stove back on, but this time, unlike in the first game of The Last of Us. I let the doctor do his thing. I watched as the letters on the disk started to melt and drip slowly onto the stove leaving behind a tar-like residue.

    I watched the fumes from the burning plastic take the shape of Neil Druckmann's name and as all this was happening, my girlfriend walked in. She asked me "what are you doing?". I told her, "what I should've done the first time". Together, we were standing around the stove, watching our adopted child disappear and be sacrificed for the greater good. Thank you Naughty Dog for making me realize that some things are not meant for this world. Some things are meant to be forgotten. Some things are simply meant to be forgotten. Some things don't deserve to have a place in my heart. This game is one of those things. I hope you got your social and political agenda across, because you ruined the only game that helped me see the beauty of life. Thank you. Thank you so much. I hope you are happy for my 60 dollars now in your bank. Thank you.    … Expand

    Joel deserved better.

    The whole game hinges on the player disliking Ellie's actions (which is achieved by making the player do bad things) and liking Abby (who is a sadistic murderer and draws actual pleasure from killing people). This does not work.

    All the major plot-points in the previous game has been abandoned and now the game is nothing like the previous one, but rather a festival of forced content.

    Why would a hardened killer like Ellie who killed far more innocent people than the scientists be ok with someone killing her father infront of her?

    NaughtyDog lied in the trailers about Joel, such deceit I've never seen before from any company. The whole idea of playing 10+ hours for the person you're gonna hate from the beginning and having to kill dozens of people just to spare the worst person in the end is complete nonsense, and even worse is that so it's badly told nonsense.    … Expand

    I've played through the entire series all the way through. It's hard to believe that a good game came before this. This game feels like it dug up the corpse of the first game, skinned it, and is using its dead skin to hide from how horrible it truly is. May God have mercy to those that worked hard on this game for nothing.

    Sopravvalutato. Storia per ragazzini con una sceneggiatura ridicola. Solito gioco sony action adventure in terza persona, con zero idee e zero innovazioni. Una formula ferma ormai a 20 anni fa.

    Man, what a insane disappointment this game really is. Neil Druckmen inserted himself and went in dry. I wouldn't buy this game with money. Thanks beta males at NaughtyDog for not standing up to this moron. Was so excited about a second game, but turned into the GOT last 3 seasons.

    Nothing can be said that hasn't already been said. The series has always been known for it's story, and it's way too long and bloated on top of just being poorly written. The score is to emphasize that more **** like this shouldn't be made in the future.

    lo edite para hacerlo simple, si conoces la historia de este juego (aunque sea por un video de youtube) te va a arruinar el primer TLOU.

    TLOU por si solo es un gran juego y no vale la pena amargar esa hermosa experiencia con su secuela.

    Este juegos es como las últimas temporadas de Game of Thrones, osea, nunca debieron existir.

    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]
