    The Best game on the 2020, Always mind is my opinion if I don't know, if you like it but for me it is one of the best games I have had the opportunity to play, due to the game mode and the time of controls

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First, let me explain the advantages of this game.
    The graphics were more advanced than the previous one, and the setting of a suitable place was outstanding.
    The actors' performances and the background music of the game were good, so the game characters' emotional descriptions were accurately conveyed.
    Compared to the previous work, the game seemed to have increased convenience and adjusted difficulty, and the elements that were seen in the Uncharted were added.
    It was okay to be able to play a variety of games accordingly.
    I really liked the scene that shows Joel's paternal love towards Ellie and the scene where she realized his preciousness after losing Joel.
    Obviously, I liked the production of the game on some of the situations.

    Now that I've told you all the strengths I have in mind, I'll tell you the disadvantages.
    setting destruction
    I kept showing Ellie to the player as a marksman, but I didn't get a hit in front of Abby.
    Dina needs a gun to be normal, but she'll be bowled down with a knife.
    In the first movie, Joel continues to show that he is a very cautious character, and especially in the ending, but in the second movie, he shows his carelessness and dies.
    And she doesn't even know why she killed Joel, but she's saving him.
    And Ellie had a gun, but she didn't shoot Abby.
    The player cannot concentrate on the game due to this setting destruction.

    Also, the game made fans feel unhappy as it had a composition that seemed to deny the first episode.
    1. Kill Joel, the main character of The Last of Us 1.
    2. That doesn't mean Joel has been doing well with Ellie.
    3. No one can avenge Joel, but rather the person around Ellie dies or gets hurt or leaves Ellie.
    4. Is Ellie so happy? Ellie has a trauma about Joel's death.

    Abby certainly had a reason, but it was a big mistake for the person who played The Last Of Us.
    The game tries to force a consensus by playing Evie who doesn't want to play to the player himself, but the player can't fully immerse himself.
    Abby first shows that there is a reason, but the story behind it seems to be only an excuse from the point of view of the person who played the first episode.
    Also, what made the player hit Ellie through Abby made the player feel the end of his squalor.
    If this game was a new ip for Naughty Dog, it would have focused on praise, but since it was a series of previous works, the score would naturally be lowered.
    Obviously the game quality was good, and it could have been better, but the order and composition of the game play and the destruction of probability lowered the value of the game.
    So I will give five points to this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't care who was who what they like what they are what everything, what bother me how much emotional investment the devs tried to shove down through your throat just to be pointless (literally) the characters aren't memorable, let alone the plot (which the character needed to carry) when Abby was about to kill Dina at that point I was "just **** do it, I want this **** to be over" she didn't, and that's when i found out this is a new age torture technique. The game just overstay and I mean OVERSTAY its welcome, too long for too little, only shred of emotion I felt besides frustration was when Alice the dog dies, truly didn't deserved :(, LISTEN TO ME STOP CRYING OVER WHO KILLED WHO, BECAUSE BELIEVE, IN THIS GAME EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE DEAD, and goddamn they sure feel that way.

    TL DR: The (in)famous sex scene with Abby and the other dude (not memorable, and apparently important.) represent in a beautiful way, the reality of this, we are this strong person getting pounded, bend over and just going to town by someone who simply do not give a **** (literally dude cried over some **** after killing dozen innocent people he said "nah" and tried to escape from his mistakes, then kill his friend? comrade? and Abby (the people to obtuse to admit this **** sucks and payed critics.) just forgive me because Love :3.

    In conclusion this game makes me wanna "uninstall IRL" more than life itself do    … Expand

    7 years and this is what we get? The story is terrible paired with the lack of innovation from the last release. The game itself is serviceable but the story is so trash, don't spend your money on something that we were lied to about during advertising.

    All the hype about the game didn’t worth it. I just disappointed that so many people from Naughty Dog spent their time to made this crap. Beautiful animation, awesome details, but totally disappointing and boring gameplay, awful story and no choices in the end. I hate the fact, that I can’t kill damn Abby. And can’t refund this “game” - it’s more fun to watch it on YouTube then play.

    worst story based game I've played in my life
    terrible story writing, terrible ending, terrible decision making, terrible characters. You are forced to play with characters you will absolutely hate.
    game looks great, is brutal which I like but that's it for the positive points.. what's even worse: if they decide to make a part 3 it will most probably even worse than part 2. At least    worst story based game I've played in my life

    This game has great graphics and music, but that’s not enough to save this game. It has an awful story, which is kind of important in a story-driven game. This game has incredibly high expectations, and it fell incredibly flat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge fan of the story behind The Last of Us Part 1, the 2nd addition to the story and franchise just leaves me in disgust. A lot of things are PHENOMENAL. The intro for instance was a genius of artwork - however what followed such a STRONG and EMOTIONAL opening to The Last of Us Part 2 only ends in what I mentioned earlier - disgust.

    Pros:
    - Beautiful set pieces, graphics, all of the usual Naughty Dog things.
    - More sense of an "open world" exploration to the game.
    - Well realized world building.

    Cons:
    -The centerpiece of the game. The story.
    -Contradictory game play to the story building cinematics
    > How are we gonna see Ellie break down in panic and trauma after killing certain people in cut scenes after she MERCILESSLY butchered down hundreds of people in quick fashion as if it was the normal daily cup of joe for the day? This did not make sense and makes the player feel at odds with what Naughty Dog is trying to convey.
    -Obvious plot holes and synchronization issues to the characters we KNEW and LOVED from part 1.
    > You're trying to tell me Joel, the killing machine himself with very little trust in ANYONE'S intentions (rightfully so in the cruel and grim world The Last of us Part 1 builds) is going to help a stranger that is on their patrol grounds and then go to THEIR HIDEOUT in an EXTREMELY VULNERABLE FASHION when Abby CONFIRMS THEY ARE ARMED AND HAVE A PERIMETER? This made absolutely no sense and was the worst way to introduce a moment of extreme gravity. It's not that it was done, it's HOW it was done. This is such a shame.

    It's a shame this game will make GOTY nominations and receive a ton of rewards due to it's progressive and LGBTQ themes that are heavily littered through-out the game. These concepts and real life political topics are abused by game developers to 1. Shield themselves from negative reception, because "The people who dislike it are just bigots." and 2. The people who set up these rewards tend to LOVE it, and they (Naughty Dog) KNOW that. This is a spit in the face to the LBGTQ community and some realize that they are only being used as a shield for award nominations / GOTY nominations.

    I can only give this game, as it is STORY CENTRIC, a 3 out of 10 at best. I'm sorry, and this sequel deeply disappointing me, as a prior HUGE fan of Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So one night Neil got drunk and wanted to make a sequel to The Last Of Us, after a long 7 year later, this "Game"(according to them) comes. Now when I played it. The first 2 hours were actually going fine then bam! They killed of Joel. The badass Joel that we knew dies like a p***y. I said okay, now at the end of the game as Ellie, we're going to take our revenge even though Ellie doesn't like Joel. After hours, we begin to play as the one who killed Joel for a big amount of time. Well done Naughty Dog! But even though they didn't add much to the gameplay, the details of the ones that we kill are well designed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you like to get depression and feel even worst about wasting your time and effort in playing last of us 1 this is the game for you. Last Of Us 2 throws all character development and effort in story building for who knows what. Graphic is good but what’s the point when the story is so **** it makes you want to commit seppuku. The game forces down your throat with politics and messages that makes the character interaction so weird and unnatural.
    [Spoilers]

    Joe dies in the early play time no build up, no effort to make it seem redeemable just wasted character for their game of shock value. You feel so **** that after joe dies you regret even playing it. I can’t even tell you how much I sighed and whined. You are also force to give a **** and care about the character Abby that killed Joe by playing as her WTF? Why is this game even developed in the first place ? The game in summary just touched on how revenge is bad like WTF? It’s the apocalypse did the story developer not remember what their making. In those time’s you meet “clickers” your reminded it’s the last of us and it’s over-run by zombies. [summary]
    Don’t buy the game. Don’t even watch the play through it’s painful and it ruins your perception of the first game. Get woke, go broke.    … Expand

Ellie has become some vengeful hardass and is completely unlikable. Infact, no one in the story that I've seen is likable. And the sex scenes.. mocapped.. what the hell? Who are all these unlikable characters, and why is Ellie all of a sudden a lesbian? As a gay person I'm offended at the blatant pandering to try and get people who don't even like video games to congratulate how woke you are. What a trashfire!… Expand

    The graphics are insane!
    Both enemies and allies AI are awesome (in a +moderate difficulty) The story is perfect and the way that naughty dog staged it is just god tier!!!
    You'll love it so much, this game is a must-play, just play it with an open minde instead of blindly hating it....

    Pero lamentablemente la historia (PORQUE PARA MI LA HISTORIA ES LO QUE LO HACE FAMOSO) por mas que Neil Druckman merece todo por la primera parte, pero por mas que quieran demostrar una historia para darnos una "enseñansa", la historia no debió ser asi, lo siento pero la historia es pésima, da pena verlo y aceptarlo, mucha confusión por mas que hayan lineas de tiempo pero llegan horas en las que extrañamos a Ellie y a Joel y nadie quiere saber quien es Abby.

    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]
