But no matter what you think of the divisive story choices, divisive or not they are just poorly written story choices that negatively display a story which around those story choices this is well written. The gameplay is fluid, the environment and level design is stunning, game mechanics are well executed. But at the end the last of us 2 fails to write Abby’s character well to justify the game time spent playing as her in a game that isnt bad or inconsistent in writing because plot points were divisive, but in a story that tries to be unpredictable and fails with no adequate writing to explain abby's character or actions with very poor writing to explain a few characters fates. In terms of innovation I feel player choice was robbed in comparison to the 1st game. its more like we are forced into situations with this game in which I think we could had benefited to alternate story choice elements on what in Particular Abby or Ellie does. it would had left it so much more of an impactful first playthrough impression. *** Score:6-7/10 game‬***
    why a 7. My average calculates it at a 6.5 based on categories of graphics, how smooth / responsive it runs, overall Story and innovations if applicable. In my score substance needed to stand out more than just beauty. I thoroughly enjoy the 1st last of us game. It is one of the masterpieces that was thought provoking in terms of Joels building relationship with Ellie who is your companion for a majority of the game. the world provided an interesting twist on the common tropes of a pandemic and dystopian settings. the second game is thought provoking but there was a good section of the game I felt like I didn't have as much understanding of character motivations or maybe they were just not written clearly or I could not understand it clearly in particular Abby. The fact the story seemed so linear and not taking into account players being able to to make the choices at certain points in the game us the real disappointment I have in this game. Maybe I set my standards too high but I think that could had helped the game a lot in the story department. limiting player choice to a linear set up doesn't work well considering its predecessor.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve waited 7 long years after the the first game and this is what we got. Shame, if the game was gonna be this bad I would of not of wanted it to be made. For anyone who has played the first I beg them not to waste their hard earned money on this especially during a pandemic, if you do you will be disappointed.The only thing I can admit the graphics and gameplay are an improvement over the first but that story is the biggest middle finger to fans of the first game, they don’t care if you got attached to Joel or Tommy and they make you play as some Abby chick that spoiler warning....... Abby does an Andrew Ryan’s to Joel head with a golf club very early in the game and you have to play as her more than Ellie. Ellie speaking of her you have to bring her new boring forced loved interest Dina. The only reason why she’s there to begin with is because SJW’s and the LGBT community have to force us with content we don’t want. Dina is so plain you don’t even worry about her one bit unlike Riley from Left behind, she’s the perfect love for Ellie and their first love is poetic. If anything Maria should of went instead of Dina since Tommy goes to Seattle. You will cringe during the Abby scenes and you will be even more unsatisfied with the ending. Last of us should of only been a one game franchise.… Expand

Parace como si todos estuvieran hablando de otro juego con ver tantas reseñas malas de los fans tan desepcionados, la jugabilidad es asombrosa,los graficos de los mejores pero la gente critica que la muerte de joel es sin sentido y al final todo lo que hace ellie para vengarse no sirvio de nada de todas formas pero la gente quiere que le guste ese final y la historia pero no te puede gustar eso puesto a quien leva a gustar que maten al protagonista de esa manera a nadie pero es lo que se tenia que hacer para que la secuela tenga su sentido y no se sienta sin proposito solo tengo un problema que le dieron demasiadao protagonismo a abby yo en una parte del juego no queria jugar por controlar a esa maldita pero si entiendo por que lo hacen pero solo digo que debieron recortar esa parte, pero independientemente de todo eso hablemos del final lo mas decepcionante para algunos pero piensen si ellie mataba a abby, yev iba a buscar venganza y seria un ciclo de venganza sin fin, aparte no seria similar a como murio joel que ellie hubiera matado a abby enfrente de yev convertiria a ellie en la mala entre comillas asi que el final no es el que me gustaria pero es el que se debe de hacer, es cierto que tiene un final muy crudo pero asi es como te deja el deseo de venganza asi que aprendan que no siempre se puede tener lo que quieres y anque no te guste es lo que es y es mejor que lo que queriamos… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all,I have to state that the game is not really a "0" score game,due to the amazing graphic and not evolution though still intriguing game-play. If I want to give the game a fair score, it probably will be around 7, purposely because of everything else, which is good game by and large.

    BUT!! the idea of shoving a horrible political correct story in player's arse just for political correction sake is definitely needed to be terminated, even not just for gaming industry.

    Almost all of the plot driving points are just stupid, long time survivors Joel and Tommy are just lost all the cautiousness, lead to Joel's death, Killing spree machine Abby just let a girl who is apparently closed to Joel go,and the ending which everybody hated.

    And the so call meaning of the story is butchered so hard, killing is a big part of LoUS, it is in the game mechanic let alone story. People get reward by killing especially in this sequel which we dealing human much more than the original, it is Apocalypse after all. You want to talk about circle of hatred, that is fine, put in the content, shows in emotions, alter some of actions. Not just consistent killing each other with cold blood and all of sudden spare some lives just for haunting them later at last second. They are just not what people will do in that situation.

    All in all, garbage story telling and script, have so much potential with changing ideas of integrated LGBT element in games among gamers but failed miserably, and hated it even more. 0/0    … Expand

    A pathetic criminally manipulated story to please a leftist radical racist anti-white agenda, i hope Naughty Dog fires the SJW idiots who came up with the storyline. Its a shame, i loved the first game and it gave you faith and taught you love and unity (even being heavily LGBT themed) but this, this is murder

    Amazing technological accomplishment; bad story telling and game structure. As the game director said; the game is driven by an agenda rather than the story itself

    Profoundly disappointed, the conversion of a great story in Part 1 into revenge porn and forced direction change in Part 2 is heartbreaking. Games like this are not just about graphics, they need purpose and engagement.

    I genuinely cannot believe I wasted my time on this game. To have such a masterpiece in TLOU 1 to be ruined by such horrible storytelling in this sequel is worse than my parents getting divorced as a child. Abby is the most UNLIKEABLE character... every time I had to play as her I wanted to turn off the game. Ellie and Joel deserved better. What a waste.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite what many “fans” of The Last of Us have been posting. It is plainly obvious that the majority of the negative reviews from gamers have been due to either, 1.) Homophobic ideals or 2.) They haven’t played the full game yet or just decided to hop on the band wagon for negativity. The story is amazing, yea it has a few minor flaws in it, but the response to it has been pointless and illogical. The graphics are absolutely stunning and the gameplay is nearly perfect. I have finished the game in its entirety 2 times as of writing this. No, I am not lying about that. I can just say that it is a very well crafted game that is deserving of the title and is a perfect follow up to the first game. Joel may have been killed very early on in the game, but, he also was well aware that after killing all of those Fireflies, people would try and kill him. He was clearly calm in his last few moments of life because he knew it was going to happen sooner or later. People are whining about how Ellie had no problem with killing all of the other people who were in Abby’s group but not Abby. She never intended to kill them, they attempted to fight back while being interrogated and Ellie defended herself. When Ellie finally confronted Abby in the end of the game, she came to the realization that Abby was in many ways just like her. I get that Joel died and I was pissed off about it, but as the game progressed I began to realize that Abby didn’t deserve to die and neither did any of her friends. So before anyone tries to write a negative review for this game, I highly reccomend you read this post in its entirety and for many people, I reccomend you actually play the game or at least finish playing it before you decide to trash talk it. I am glad I was smart enough that I didn’t get anything spoiled for me because unlike many people I chose to steer clear of any third-party info on The Last of Us Part II because I wanted to experience everything myself for the first time. So either, play this game or don’t buy it and stop posting unknowledgable reviews on a game that you have never even played. These developers worked hard to make this game and their work shows. The game is worth every penny in my opinion and I felt like it was nessicarry to post this review because I at least know what is going on and I have also played the game twice and have a better understanding of the story. I hate seeing the negativity towards great games like this because it is unwarranted and honestly it damages people’s reputation. So if you have been wanting to play this game and/or you aren’t sure if you should buy it or not, I can say that from my experience, it is worth the money. I can’t force anyone into buying it but I can let people know that I have enough time played on this game to make a fair review for this fantastic game. *Again* don’t look at every negative review and believe it, because, more often than not, the person reviewing the game has either not finished it or doesn’t even own the game to begin with.… 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.

    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]
