    Biggest disappointment in gaming. Apart from the ***show of a story, the game play gets repetitively boring. Feel really sorry for the brilliant ND team who are on the receiving end of all this hate just because of a their ****head leaders/creative directors.

    Got more enjoyment using the game manual as toilet paper then actually playing the game.

    Wonderful game, great compositions, direction, and ... plot. Yes, you can say he spits in your face, but that's what makes him interesting. Gray morality. The game freezes to look for the reason, to be imbued with characters and look at everything from the outside. As for the propaganda khm-khm ... Yes, it is present, but it does not strike the eye too much.

    I won't talk much but all I have to say:-
    1- the story is really bad 2- pacing and characters are very bad not like the first game.
    2- gameplay and graphics are masterpiece.

    Story is trash. If you liked the tlou1 for the great characters, this is not the game for you. All the characters returning and new, are unlikeable, vapid, and unsympathetic no matter how the dev's wanted them to be.

    The game play is uninspired and repetitive. The narrative drags on and on, and seems to have a bizarre fetish for torture and needless violence. This compounds with the jarring ludonarrative dissonance of Ellie choosing to spare abby in the end despite having no problem with the massive body count the average player will inevitably rack up in a playthrough. Overall save your money, wait for a sale, or watch a stream of the story if you for whatever reason just have to experience this illconcieved sequel.    … Expand

    Juego con mucha publicidad engañosa en los trailers que te hace creer que el juego es algo que no es. Las graficas son lo mínimo para un triple A en el año 2020, asi que no suma.

    The game looks amazing.. graphics, attention to detail.. it's incredible I have no problem with Joel's fate.. i was actually quite positive about this decision when the leak fiasco happened.

The main problem is... this game looks like it was created with some agenda. It is not a story set in post-apo world about survival (and even revenge) This is a story about 1st world problems mixed with propaganda that can constantly interrupt your immersion. Strongest aspect of first game is a great story.. which in Part II sometimes doesn't make sense... Some of the decisions Naughty Dog has made are simply weird.

    Great: Graphics, animation, gameplay;

    Bad: Plot, immersion, character development, weird ending.

    Overall 3-4/10.
    Let's not forget about abusing copyright law, censorship and quite possibly paid-fake reviews.
    Conclusion: Stop wasting time and resources on your secret agenda and start to make great games

    The story is primitive and disappointing. Gameplay feels a bit outdated. Characters make me want to close the game and burn the disc. Disappointment of the year, thank you, 2020. I hope Niel will be fired for this piece of ***t. 0/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Solo se salva por jugabilidad y apartado técnico, la historia es de mala calidad, se esforzaron mas en que te pongas en el lugar de abby que en la historia en si, las mejores partes son el principio, con su "tutorial" que es introductorio a los controles e historia y el volver a ver a tus personajes favoritos y como se llevan, hasta la presentación de abby esta bien pero en el propio " tutorial" se cargan a joel y el final depende de gustos, pero en parte es bueno y en parte no, admiras ND mintio con la duración del juego, ya que se puede acabar antes disfrutando y sin perderte nada de la historia, otro punto muy negativo es la publicidad, todo el rato te lo vendieron con que estarian solo joel y ellie ( joel muera en las primeras 2-3 depende del tiempo que emplees en recursos) y lo hacen de una forma muy rara, ya que como vimos en la primera entrega joel es muy desconfiado, y mas por lo que paso en el pasado, y ese recurso que usan como flashbacks es en ocasiones tedioso, porque si lo matas para que te esfuerzas en meter eso a la fuerza, como consejo para los que se piensen comprar este juego os digo una cosa, si eres muy fan del primero, este no existe para ti, si eres fan o jugador casual compralo pero tampoco te esperes una notaza porque para ti como mucho sera un 6-7

    This is a game about selfish terrible people doing selfish terrible things. The poor attempts to generate sympathy for either of the two main characters ring hollow when every decision they make is either baffling or outright despicable. Not quite sure what they were going for, but whatever it was, they failed.

    The gratuitous violence and bleak atmosphere left me feeling numb and disengaged. The game bashes you over the head with the same shallow message, that violence is bad, over and over again until you can't help but roll your eyes, then forces you to play through another 15 hours.

    A boring and uninteresting story with unlikable characters doing irrational things. Gameplay that is stagnant and repetitive which hasn't evolved in seven years. An unfortunate disappointment. An entirely average showing that does not hold a candle to this generations best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having played 8-10 hours into the game I've given up. I applaud the team at naughty dog for the amazing graphical fidelity of the game and its sound and animation. But I've officially lost interest in the series.
    Having seen many videos repeatedly of Joel's head being smashed in with the club by Abby and having played through it myself, I now feel completely disconnected from the world that was created in the first part,I don't even feel sad anymore, all that goes through my mind is "this is the stupidest s**t I've seen. I boot up the game and play it for a 20 minutes tops and quickly quit it and find something else to play at this point.
    It being a couple of days post launch now, I can comfortably say, f**k this game. F**k it for ruining the world, characters and story for me. I'm done.
    Its good if you enjoyed it, its good that you could and I won't fault you for it. But there's too much wrong for me to forgive. Too much.
    This world that you'd made naughty dog, is now dead.
    And the best part? You killed it as unceremoniously and mindlessly as Abby did Joel. Good job.
    This had the potential, the setup and all the key ingredients of something mind shattering. But sadly you decided nope, we're gonna f**k with this up so bad.
    I really feel sad I spent money on this pile of steaming s**t. I really wish you hadn't done this.
    I can't give it a zero, not with the visuals, sound and the clearly visible amount of work put into the design it offers, but you killed this series for me.    … Expand

And those who really went through and scolded the plot said that it was objectively weak and basically referred to the fact that this is not the same buddy movie as the first part, with a good but simple story from the "for all" category. In fact, they criticize that things are being done in the game with which they * disagree *, that is, the story is "bad" biased. The second part is much more complicated and therefore more individual. (I will not speak more specifically, so as not to spoil the impression). This year’s most controversial game for me. The most complicated and difficult story in every sense. This is my personal opinion, and I perfectly understand why you can hate it, what to complain about and what to competently criticize, but I loved the game, despite the fact that I also disagree with all the scriptwriter's decisions. In general, these are my personal feelings, Tlou is too individual, so with ease you can find those who do not like the game or even seem boring. So play the games yourself, think with your own head) and good luck not to stumble on spoilers for those who have not passed it yet)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love The Last of Us 1! It is probably one of the best games I have ever played. I have played it so many times I stopped counting. The story and the characters blow me away every time I go though it. So, to say that I have been waiting a lot for this second game, is an understatement. But, as much as I love the first one, as much I hate this second game. I literally feel like punching my fist through the wall, throw my PS4 and that game out the window, run down the street, throw gasoline on it, set it on fire and then pee on the ashes. Why would anyone spend so many resources to make such a great and beautiful game and then apply the most terrible storyline ever? It makes NO sense to me. I wonder what Naughty Dog has been thinking; "Hey, let's make a bunch of trailers showing Ellie and Joel, then kill Joel in the most brutal way ever and make them play the game as Joel’s murder" - WHAT THE ****! It is like you have been trolling us for the last couple of years and make us buy this game on false premises. Imagine you bought a new Zelda game, Link gets slaughtered and then you play rest of game as Link’s murder. Why would anyone want that? I avoided the leaks in good faith, but now I just wasted a bunch of money. I am so depressed right now, as if 2020 was not bad enough already. But hey, I guess you can say that The Last of Us Part 2 fits 2020 perfectly – It is like this game was made to finish people off...… Expand

    This game is so bad that if you made every character straight white and male, the people critics call "incel bigots" would still trash on this game. It's dark for the sake of being dark. Diverse for the sake of torturing its LGBT characters. It's trying to be philosophical but the overarching message is too cliche, especially in Asia where this kind of plot is already common.

    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.
