    As a character, Abby is more interesting than Ellie. The ending is good, I don't know why everyone didn't like it.

    it looks good, but that is the only thing going on for it. druckman proves that he's nothing but a sadist. the story's plot revolves around breaking down ellie until she's nothing but a broken lonely person in an apocalyptic world. it's boggles my mind how it got a score of 95.

    A great game in which LGBTs disgrace and ridicule Joel, who has patriarchal values dedicated to women, children and humanity.

    Gráficamente es muy bueno explota la capacidad de PS4 literal parece que va explotar mi PS4. Es muy aburrido, se carga la historia, incluso un personaje que se parece a Neil, le escupe a un personaje importante. Es obvio que el mismo Neil sabe que le escupe a sus usuarios. Muchas cinemáticas, en vez de venganza parece que van en un viaje romántico.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story here is awful. Gameplay is very much the same as it was in TLOU. Which is fine. To be honest, no one loved the first one because of the gameplay, it was the story. The game works. It looks amazing, no bugs or glitches. Great work as far as making the game. Now the story is trash. The TLDR: Joel dies. And not in some sacrificing for the power of love type of way. Just beat in the head with a golf club. Ellie and friends go for revenge. They all make stupid decisions and die. You play as Abby and beat the crap out of Ellie and her girlfriend. As Ellie you save Abby and get beat up again. You get 2 fingers bitten off and your relationship with your girl is destroyed. You go through all of this, just to let Abby live. WTF. At least have the balls to follow though at this point. Ellie goes the whole game murdering people and animals left and right, just to not kill the bad guy. And yes I consider Abby the bad guy. I don't have any sympathy for her. Blame it on the storytelling. And if you think this is what people wanted or this is what we deserve you need to take a long look in the mirror.… Expand

    The gameplay is too similar to TLOS part I. A 7 year gap and an entire generation between them, and not that much development has happened in terms of bringing the formula forward and doing more things. The writing is terrible, an insult to the TLOS franchise, and does not resonate with literally anyone as it is a complete boiler point revenge story that does not have much payoff.

Naughty Dog intentionally mislead the public in its advertising. Everything you loved from the TLOS part I? Murdered, hobbled, and discarded just like the Content creators of PlayStation for going over game leaks. There are no moral choices for the player and you are subjugated to the 'plot' which is so poorly written. Put simply, if this game is a car and it has the option of either running over an elderly couple, a puppy, or crashing into a tree, naughty dog subjugates you to crash into the tree, stab the puppy, and r*pe the elderly couple. For ****'s sake Naughty Dog. Other than that, the Graphics, physics, pretty damn good.… Expand

    Never have I been more excited for a game when it was announced. Same studio working on it, Joel and Ellie back but more older and more mature, a darker storyline...everything seemed so perfect. How could you really screw that up ? but oh boy, screw it up they did, and royally.

Same studio working on it, Joel and Ellie back but more older and more mature, a darker storyline...everything seemed so perfect. How could you really screw that up ? but oh boy, screw it up they did, and royally.
    But let's start off with the positives - visually the game is fantastic. the voice acting, cutscenes and music are still top-notch. As a player, I could tell a lot of effort went into making these aspects fantastic. But even these part of the game come with a catch.
    the voice acting is great, but is delivered by some of the most unlikable, preachy and just downright bad characters I've seen in games. The game tries very hard to make you like these characters, to understand their perspective and why they are the way that they are, but this just doesn't work. The turn from " hate these guys" to "try to understand and love them" comes too late in the story to change the players' mind about the characters and even then, it' s like the writers knew they were running out of time in the story and try to push the likability on the player too much and too quickly. i was just bored and uninterested. The game is heavily focused on trying to switch your point of view on the events of the first game, as well. many deep questions like :" WHO' S REaLlY ThE BaD PEoPLe?!" are asked. the story is handled in such an amateur fashion I'm shocked it got any traction in the writers room at all. Many events, characters and moments from the first game are actively discarded and spit on.
    Visually the game is fantastic, but after 15 hours of the same "Small town with rusted cars and buildings" environments, it gets just a little obnoxious. the tall grass looks fantastic, but damn.
    the gameplay remains mostly unchanged from the first game, but small tweaks and refinements were made, I must admit. Nothing groundbreaking, but that's that.
    the only parts of the game I genuinely enjoyed were some of the flashback sequences with Joel and Ellie. specifically the museum section. it was touching, delightful, the dialogue had warmth, care and it was spoken by two well-developed characters who had a believable history with each other. once that scene ended, it was back to garbage.
    The game is also just a chore to finish, it drags in the last 6 hours and it's very hard to find motivation to keep going till the end.
    From a story perspective it's a complete mess. it looks very nice and plays okay, but visuals and stealth gameplay were not the elements i cared about in " the last of us". I cared about the story. And there' s just nothing here for me. bad characters, uninteresting story, boring scenarios...it' s devoid of any enjoyment.
    I won't be recommending this game to anyone I know and will be trying my darndest to completely forget this games existence.    … Expand

    Great looking game (8/10), average game play (5/10), horrible story (0/10), horrible sequel (0/10).
    2.5/10 rounding down to 2 for deceptive advertising. If you loved TLoU, avoid TLoU2 at all cost.

This second game keeps the impressive graphics, but does away with any meaningful story. In an attempt to add predictable shock value, main characters are killed off. And in an attempt to subvert expectations, you play as the bad guy. In my honest opinion, if you liked the first game do not buy this. If you have not played the first game and like pretty graphics, then give it a go. Just play this before the first one so you can leave the best to last.… Expand

    Para empezar pierde todo de lo que se trataba el 1 paso de un survival zombie a ser una serie de netflix, tiene buenos graficos y escenarios estupendos pero lo que falto para atraerme fue la historia no se compara en nada a la entrega anterior aparte de que las cinematicas duran mucho mas y se vuelve aburrido al igual que escenas innecesarias y para nada una jugabilidad innovadora.

    This is an amazing movie. But the gameplay is very much a chore. I personally hate how they portrayed many of the reoccurring characters that I fell in love with, but that is more of a subjective feeling I have about the game. Seriously the gameplay is horrible and I find myself being very bored in combat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into the game not knowing any of the spoilers so I came in with an open mind, excited as hell. The only reason I'm giving this game a 3 is because it is a technical marvel from both a visual and audio perspective. The controls are tighter and more refined than the first game visually, you could argue this game is superior to God of War as the best looking game this console generation. But from a story perspective, this game gets a 1 out of 10. After playing the game for 2 hours, they kill Joel in the worst possible way, portraying Joel as being out of character and disrespecting his character to the highest degree. Afterwards, they force you to play the majority of the game as the character that killed Joel. What in the actual eff. I couldn't continue the game after just 3 hours of playing and I did something I've never done before: stop playing a game because the story upset me too much. I've stopped playing games before because the gameplay was terrible or not fun, but in this case, the story absolutely infuriated me to no end. Naughty Dog has really screwed this one up, and from here on out I have to think really hard about buying any game this company creates. For shame, Naughty Dog, for shame.....… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What in the world have you done. the year is late 2020 where possibilities are endless, and Naughty Dog releases a game that is so linear and boring that the only people who thought it was brilliant are the brain dead Journalist. The game looks ok not breathtaking or cutting edge, almost the same quality as Days Gone. I don't care one bit about someones sexual preferences, but this game honestly puts you in a cuckold and makes you live it. everything from the killing of a beloved character, to the weird sex scene that made me gag. the writing is that of an under developed child, the story is one of how revenge is bad, but it looses its focus, it was either that or my give a crapper broke the second I was forced to do an activity I did not want to do. Naughty Dog, Journalist, and you Neil are to blame for this waste of energy. I gave it a two because it is obvious the Dev's made a serious attempt but please from now on stand up to them and do not allow this hot garbage to be put into society.… 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.
