    Garbage narrative, garbage story direction. It undermines and ruins the legacy of the first game. The graphics and gameplay are amazing but that can’t save the game. Heck, you wouldn’t buy shiny, new state of the art golf clubs if you lived in Antarctica would you? What’s the point

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first time ever reviewing a videogame, so don't mind if I say something bad.
    The Last of Us Part 2 is not bad gameplay but the worst story performance, I wish I was playing the Game of the year's videogame but turns out it's the depression of the year. A lot of political correctness and abuse of the LGBTQ, even I have to show the empathy to respect those bad people who killed the main character during the mid-game, makes me wanna throw up.

    Let's talk about the gameplay experience: it's good as part 1 and crueler to the enemy and you may see a lot of insane dismemberment and head explosion if you headshot or blow them up. Interesting at exploring a half-open world map. There will be no supply shortage if you fully looted the map. And each enemy has their own name which is pretty cool, they will warn each other name if somebody gets killed. Then you need to know how to deal with those infected, if you've played part 1 before, it won't be too hard to fight them. And the last one is the workbench. they did pretty well on the animation of upgrading your weapon, I'll feel satisfied every time I upgrade my weapon.

    And that's all for the good part of this game, now we get to the most disgusting part of this disaster: the Storytelling. I'll try not to spoil it as much as possible, but the most favorite character just gets killed at the very beginning of the game, just because of a speechless reason, doesn't mean we have to play the villain in the game, get to know hers background also know why she had to kill him only to show sympathy. I only want her dead for revenge, but the Naughty Dog shows me that's impossible, that makes me wanna just quit this game only for that.

    Another reason that makes this game awful is the Character development. There's a lot of character in this game that you probably wouldn't get to know them better, then they'll die during the story, so what's the point of adding them into the story? making them suffer just to let the plot being extremely tense and exciting? I don't think that'll work. every time I'm seeing some unknown characters get shot or stabbed, I didn't even feel sad for them, because there's no point in mourning them if you never get to know who they are. Besides, I have to kill a pregnant woman in the game then I just felt guilty about it? To be honest, this is the first game that made me kill a pregnant woman, well then, there's any significance in adding a pregnant woman in the game for what? Woman empowerment? I mean this is not "Game of Thrones", and that's what Naughty Dog was doing. And they failed.

    So is this game worth playing? for gameplay: Maybe, wait till is on sale. But experience the story: Not recommended, it leaves a big gap between part 1, I would not say is the sequel, that'll be ashamed for it. I've played part 1 remastered when I got my ps4 and is clearly a masterpiece, makes me feel like I'm watching a touching and a real tear-jerker movie. Then jump into part 2, a muppet show, which is watching people killing each other and having some elements of feminism. I was fully anticipating part 2 gets releases but after all of this happening, all the things I had were the memories for part 1.    … Expand

Everything about this game is phenomenal. The environments, attention to detail, combat, even the voice acting and character animations/acting was great... But the game is a story based game... And the story is ABYSMAL. I got the game at a massive discount and still feel irritated I got the game. I got to the final scene and just gave up, the story is a joke. It's entire purpose is to do what it's not supposed to and it's so irritating. I get what they were going for, and they did it well, but they needed to ask themselves "should we do this" and the answer is "NO". The very first line of text from Ellies mouth is "it was just a kiss" talking about a lesbian relationship. Instead of actual survival, it seems the entire purpose of this game is to virtue signal and shove political viewpoints down people's throats in the form of entertainment. None of the story actually makes sense. Characters die in the most ridiculous ways. It plays like an updated last of us, but the ending has to be the absolute worst ending of any game I've ever played. It leaves you angry. It doesn't leave you satisfied.

    The ending to this game... The entire story... It has to be the most forced and awful writing I have EVER witnessed... And it's such a shame because artistically, this game is probably one of the most jaw dropping and engaging games I've ever played... But when a cutscene is what makes you quit the game, not a bug or bs difficulty... But just sheer annoyance with the story... There's a MAJOR problem. Naughty Dog has gone full on politics on a game where governments don't even exist. It's time to stop.    … Expand

    The game would have been better if they deleted half of it and just given us the ending we wanted. I spent half my time playing this game and not caring about what was happening at all.

Yes, it is not intended for children, nor for more sensitive people to. A strong story, with a very strong moral. Stay in my favorite games. Life is not just fairy tales.
    Thank you Naughty Dog.

    I've never owned a Playstation until recently. Long ago, when The Last of Us 1 came out I purchased it, borrowed my brothers console, marathoned the game, and returned the console + game for my brother to experience the masterpiece himself. Part 1 was truly one of the best games I've played

Long ago, when The Last of Us 1 came out I purchased it, borrowed my brothers console, marathoned the game, and returned the console + game for my brother to experience the masterpiece himself. Part 1 was truly one of the best games I've played

    Part 2 is really enjoyable, but doesn't quite hit the mark that the first did. I felt like I was being compelled to like the characters, even though I didn't. The story showed horrific actions of one group, then later tried to make you connect with them. When certain people died, the game wanted you to sympathize for them, but really I couldn't have cared less. I know it sounds like I'm a hollow human being, and there are two sides to every story, but that is the problem with rushing character development. When you've connected with the original characters for so long in a masterfully done game, only for new forced connections to be made, it just makes you roll your eyes and trudge through the rest in order to get closure.

    I like to dwell for a while after completing story driven works. Part 2, in many ways does not make sense. I get the direction the writers were going, but I honestly do not believe people would act in the way that they did in the game. Multiple times I had a suspension of disbelief, only to look back at what happened and realize that it didn't make sense.

    The combat is an improvement for sure, but once you've beat the game I don't think there is any reason to go back. I actually laughed when the game told me there was a NewGame+ mode.    … Expand

    The story felt soulless and disconnected.

    Like a black hole.

    It's shallow and simple. Lazy and dumb.

    And so ridiculously pretentious.

    It's like Plato wrote a sequel to "Republic" and it was "50 shades of grey"

    If there is anything called "Cultural Terrorism" this is it.

    Best story-telling I've ever experienced in any kind of media. Never has a game had me sit there with wide-open eyes of astonishment and/or shock as often as this one did. It ingeniously depicts its characters not as good or bad but as shades of grey. Naughty Dogs best work yet and an improvement of the first part in every way!

    Cons: Pacing is poor due to there being long stretches of gameplay between plot points. The characters I wished to spend my time with, either as them or beside them, were extremely short and scarce. Instead of playing as the old cast of characters, the player is forced to play as a new character they grow to hate, and this character’s segments are far too long.

    En su apartado técnico y visual, se trata de un producto con gráficos increíbles y buenas mecánicas de juego, PERO, en detrimento de la calificación del mismo, se trata de una historia muy superficial, con un final tremendamente malísimo, pero sobre todo decepcionante para los fans del juego anterior. A título personal, solo se lo recomiendo a los que no sean fans de TLOU I.

    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.
