    Alright so how should I start?

    Simple enough, the story are too detached from the first one. There are a lot of inconsistencies to what Joel and Ellie provided from the first game. Ofc it has to be the continuation of the first game, however, to continue the story with weird new story, you're exactly trying to be so-out-of-box ultimately leading to some of the fanbase not feeling attached to the story at all. Which it is. From the ending of the remastered version, ND have so many opportunities to continue the game with various plot and tweaks, this is a stale one. Don't agree with me? Ask Pewdipie.

    Expected the same gameplay, it was fun. But do I enjoy it? Probably no. To give 10/10 or even 8/10 is a mere exaggeration tbh. I dont understand where does the critics come from. Guess im better than them    … Expand

    Esperab que este juego fuera mejor que el primero ero me equivoque los gráficos y la jugabilidad son buenos pero la historia y los personajes son malos, ninguno de los personajes presentados llega a tener un desarrollo nisiquera la protagonista la historia se siente forzada y ya ni hablemos de la ridícula forma en la que muere koel en conclusión naughti dog no supo cómo hacer una secuela

    I'm about 15h into the game. It's outstanding. What Naughty Dog achieved here makes me speechless. All these 0/10-ratings are morons who even haven't played the game at all or just stupid humans, driving on the hate train. Go dig yourself in the ground. You're not worth it.

    Nice graphic and animation. But mediocre gameplay like the last game. The storytelling that always be the strongest point of the previous game is really weak in this one. Poorly executed most of the time and feels like made to only satisfy certain group of people.

    I usually do not post scores on the games that i played because i believe in peoples different perspectives. But this one is beyond perspectives. I post this comment simply because i cannot let these people who think that they are better than us to ruin any more of my beloved game, movie and etc franchises. We must not let them namakeke any more of it oh yeah graphics were good. I give 1 for that.

    After the first game this is so disappointing.
    The story is horrible. Annoying false advertisement (character you are avenging for is so predictable they have to lie to you). "Play half of the game for the character you want to kill" move does not work at all.
    Waste of time and money.

    Honestly most dissapointing game of the generation for me. I saw the leaks but still wanted to go in open minded and enjoy the game for what it has to offer. While the gameplay is ok and the grafics are good everything about the story turned out to be even worse than exspected. First time being dissapointed with ND. I really don't get how all those reviewers brought this game up to a 95.

    El juego en sí, en la parte gráfica gusto mucho, jugabilidad buena. La historia si que la embarraron... a partir de la muerte de Joel se dieron dos situaciones, Joel es como que el 50% alma del juego y no debió morir el, al morir Joel ellie solo busca venganza y en eso se basa el juego, ellie solo busca venganza, y esa no es la trama del juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi, I just finished The Last Of Us Part II,

    And not 10/10 damn or 3/10 **** review bombing! And if you want to get it buy it for 40€ no more!

    Gameplay / Graphics (games made with hard difficulty) :
    Let's start with that, the gameplay is very good the sensations we have with Ellie ("TITLE"), are very good, the shooting sensations are pretty well managed, the fights with the infected are sometimes intense especially when you're going to face the boss (yes he's got one), it's going to give you a hard time.
    Fights with scar/wolf humans are very intense because the enemies know how to organize themselves very well and they will be ruthless with you, especially the scar.
    But in the penultimate third of the game, we don't know why the Wolves become dumb... sometimes they watch walls (WTF?), this part was rush during development? (and some small bugs seen here and there that will probably be fixed).

    The Graphics are beautiful Naughty Dogs manages their engines very well, especially the faces and expressions of the actors, superb (after that I prefer a little more Uncharted 4 in terms of graphics, a slap in the face. Maybe the sets?)

    Screenplay [BIG SPOIL NOW]:
    We meet Ellie and Joel and the others 4 years later in Jackson at camp, after the events of the first game. [Ellie knows the truth about what happened at the hospital and the fireflies at the end of the first and Joel has no regrets about what he did at that time.]

    Ellie goes on a routine patrol with Dina, everything is going great, they find a place to rest and do their business ;)
    But Jesse (a character we see more in the game), finds them with the information that Joel and Tommy still haven't come back so they go back to find them, but only Joel is captured with Tommy, and then what happened... Ellie wanting to save Joel in the place where he is, she finds herself trapped by Joel's kidnappers, stuck and beaten she is in front of Joel bloody almost dead, Abby (a very important character in the story) killed Joel in front of Ellie's eyes by revenge because her father was killed by Joel when he was going to operate Ellie 4 years ago (Abby's father was the surgeon). Then Ellie will lead her quest for revenge, in the direction of Seattle. (I made HUGE shortcuts)

    Although the basic scenario is rather classic in its treatment, it is very well written because we will live (obviously) Ellie's adventure during the 3 days in Seattle and will go back up the trail to Abby killing one by one those who captured Joel (followed by "flashbacks" between the days of the moments lived between Joel and Ellie in the past), we see Ellie falling little by little in the spiral of hate (I won't go into details play it or watch the movie version that will be on youtube soon to see it. )
    And that's where the surprise of the scenario comes in because we will also play Abby what she lived during the 3 days in Seattle or we will also understand her motivations that pushed her to do that (via "flashbacks" also cut between the days, besides we start with her the day her father died, it lasts anyway 2 good hours), she will also see during her adventure her friends die either by learning it, by seeing their corpses or by living it.

    In spite of my spoils I will not tell you certain passages of the game which is very important or essential, I also take care not to tell you the end which will divide you and which also divided me, but I understand.

    CONCLUSION:
    The game is a very good technical performance, it's beautiful and you don't get bored in front of the game, Abby is superbly well written, I wouldn't say more ;)
    I understand Ellie's motivations, the links she has and has had with Joel are very important, the game is sometimes sad, sometimes joyful (it plays a lot on the Nostalgia of the first one), and a lot of hatred it can divide people and it will, the end is what it is, it is very open but again it divides.
    And I understand that people can't understand it, but as Joel said: "I would have liked it to be different too, but that's the way it is."    … Expand

The reason TLOU was successful was because it allowed the user to appreciate the beauty of the day to day human interaction and bonding that occurred in the most inhumane of times.

    The sequel however, does no justice to the original intent of TLOU which explains the heavy backlash the game is receiving from users. The moment TLOU2's story line lost sight of the first game's original concept, it deviated from the very reason it was critically acclaimed in 2013. Overall, it's a shame that people waited for a prequel for 7 long years, while falsely believing that the developers of the game actually understood the meaning behind what they once created.    … 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]
