This game is good for a couple of hours the story is decent but the one problem I have with this game that gives it a 7 is that you play as Abby for a half the game or less and you don’t even like her first you play as her when killing Joel in front of Ellie and later on in the story the game try’s to make you like her and every time I play as her I just want to quit I take a look on YouTube to see if anybody likes her in any of their walkthrough and nobody wants to play her and just can’t wait to play Ellie again… Expand

    Good job on the game system design, really a good experience in exploring and fighting.
    But the story sucked.
    I don’t understand why the story writer wants to destroy the lovely relationship of father and daughter. I do understand that the story needs Joel’s death, but in this ridiculous way? Tortured to death? Also, why the story made Eille so hate her “father”? Even though Joel against    Good job on the game system design, really a good experience in exploring and fighting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers. The Last of Us 2 is a true testament to how not to make a sequel for a game. While gameplay received better animations and such, it mostly remained the exact same and becomes monotonous and predictable over the 25+ hour story. While it’s not bad, you'd hope for a much bigger upgrade or overhaul of crafting and other gameplay mechanics, but many remained completely untouched. But the gameplay isn’t what causes this game to be a failure in my opinion, because that’s not what people really play TLOU for anyways. People play for the characters and story, which is nothing short of disappointing and misguided in this game. The utter lack of respect toward previous or even new characters prevents the player from getting invested in them, and the game fails to utilize the one relationship the player was already invested in going into the game. Instead they demolish that relationship, and never really show it getting back to anything of what it used to be. Most other characters in this game are stagnant and replaceable, and while they have good performances, fail to make me care about them in a meaningful way. That is, until they get brutally murdered on a quest for revenge. By the end of the game I was so numb to violence nothing shocked me anymore, and I’m not sure what the game was even trying to say through all this violence and misery. What I do know is that I feel devastated for Ellie and deep hatred for another character. I truly hope Naughty Dog lets this franchise die in the pit they dug for it. I absolutely loved the first game, but this train wreck wants me to feel depressed for nothing. Some of the lessons it tries to teach seem so stupidly simple I asked myself if I was even hearing it right. All I can hear now is the ringing in my ears after listening to one of my favorite games get pillaged and massacred in the name of “Subverted Expectations”. Do not recommend. Collapse… Expand

    The definition of disapointment. Good grafics and a decent gameplay and that's all.
    The story of the first game was ruined on behalf of an agenda. Complete dislikeble characters and confusing, pointless plot. Very bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game of course doesn't top the first game. The first half of the game was pretty good, but they should've had a better death for Joel. It was a major disrespect to him. I don't think this game is catering to the SJW's. It has been known that Ellie is attracted to women since the first game. The second part of the game was just garbage. I don't like Abby's character, and not because she might be trans. It's because of the way she was written, how we are supposed to feel bad for her, and some spite just because she killed Joel. The ending was absolutely horrible. What happened to Ellie? We may never know. I'm hoping they come out with some kind of DLC or something so we can know what happens in the end. Ellie deserves a good ending, so I hope she'll make up with Dina. The graphics and gameplay are just beautiful, but the AI is still pretty bad.

    I don't know how to feel about this game. Please give Ellie a good ending in a DLC!    … Expand

    The story is purely just terrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amé el juego, esperé 7 años y no me arrepiento, se que tiene muchas malas críticas pero es que ND no nos mostró lo que queríamos ver, talvez por qué lo que pasó sería lo más cercano a la realidad, vemos dos puntos de vista de la venganza, tanto la de Abby que logro completar, y a pesar de eso le trajo otro pedo a su conciencia , como la de Ellie, hizo todo un viaje para que al final dejara viva a Abby, eso enojó a varios pero , ambas tenían motivos para hacer lo que hicieron, y al final Ellie tomó la decisión más madura que pudo haber tomado, que fue dejar a Abby con vida, siendo éste otro modo de dejar ir su carga, ya que a pesar de ir lo hiciera, lo que hizo y lo que perdió está hecho.

    Para mí gusto está a la altura del primero, no se le puede comparar directamente ya que ambos cuentan con una atmósfera y tema diferentes, aunque la jugabilidad, fabricación, combate (en especial cuerpo a cuerpo) y armas es bastante mejor al primero, sin mencionar los escenarios, gráficos y la banda sonora. Vale completamente la pena

    Edit: no me gustó tanto después de todo, me pareció un poco forzada la muerte de Joel    … Expand

    Although visually stunning with solid gameplay, the story is absolutely terrible. Now, story doesn't equal a game, but in a game where the story is the main focus and the reason to play, this is a massive problem.

This isn't simply that characters make choices that you don't agree with (this would be interesting and compelling, like the ending of the first game) it's that the things they do and the actions they take, don't make sense or that they would never do. There is also no payoff for anything that happens. Often a big event will happen, and then its never talked about again. Characters never grow or learn from there actions which is odd for that seems to be what the game is about. It's trying to be deep and make the player think but there is nothing to think about. It's is just a simple revenge story with 1 dimensional characters. The only lesson you could say it teachers is revenge and violence is bad, but when you spend 30 hours doing extremely terrible things, you became numb to the violence and the meaning is lost after the first few hours. The game forces you to do bad things and they goes "OMG LOOK AT THE BAD THING YOU DID". This game not only insults and violates its audience, but it also does the same to the characters and legacy of the first game. I genually felt empty after playing this and have already returned it. The only reason I gave this a 6 is solely for the art and how good it looks. I feel so sorry for the poor people that were forced to work on this for years.… Expand

    I don't really like the maps as well as there are so many places that looks 90% the same or have to revisit again and again.
    The story is just a nightmare. I simply would not want play as Micah to learn his background( and don't get to kill Micah either) after Arthur is dead in RDR2 and half of this game is exactly about that. Forced and disgusting cutscene are just icing on the damn cake.    … Expand

    So I'm a few hours into the game now and I'm done with it. I'm not even going to carry on and try to finish it. I'm just not interested.
    The game is visually stunning. The gameplay is pretty much the same as TLoU with few additions. But that's about it when it comes to pros.

I'm not going to go deep into what's happening in the game as everyone probably already knows this. All I want to say is that this game has very little to do with The Last of Us 1 which was a masterpiece. TLoUP2 is a horrible game, a ruined franchise. How could ND do something like this to this game? I'm so mad. It's not even the amount of violence that puts me off this game, it's the actual writing. Jesus wtf did they think? And on top of that they used false advertisement to make people believe that they were going to go on another adventure with Ellie and Joel where in reality every trailer involving Joel was fake. I'm lost for words really. I hope they pay for it somehow.    … Expand

    Joel used to be a cautious man, but this time…… In addition, love and hatred are two different emotions, but the screenwriter uses the same method to deal with them, making the work look like a stitching monster, so, 0 and Good bye

They forced him to become oblivious to the world he lives in just to have a shock factor kill early into the game. Please explain to me in what world is Joel and Tommy going to walk Into and ambush like a bunch of fools? In Last of us 1 Joel clearly spots and ambush! After Abby kills Joel, How in the world does she allow HIS BROTHER and a Girl who clearly loved him to live? Did you not think that they weren't going to seek revenge like you spent all this time seeking revenge? Lastly at the end, this whole game felt useless after Ellie decides to let Abby live.... What was the whole point of this game? Tis was a cash grab, the game should of have been sequeled if this was the treatment they were gonna give it smh… 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.
