    While the gameplay delivers a couple of good loops like the original, the tone and story completely ruin this game. This beautiful looking game is ugly and unkind on the inside and for the first time in my gaming life.... I did NOT like this game at all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Look, if you liked LOU1, this is NOTHING like it, I LOVED the first game and this is literally on a different planet.

    The story is a boring revenge plot filled with unfulfilled characters and a story forces all the nuance that was once found in the original LOU to be squeezed out of the game to fit thier boring revenge plot storyline.

    The pacing of how the story is told is horrible, with long winded parts of the game rehashing obvious character motivations tied in with other characters that felt completely wasted. If you're a big LOU fan and have been waiting for this game, I reccomend you wait till it goes on sale or borrow it if you can to play it, that way if you end up hating it as much as I do you won't feel like you wasted a lot of money.

    Well, i played the game knowing what was going to happend because of the spoilers, but in the end It was way worst then i expected. I really felt miserable playing this game.
    At times i would put the controller away and think, "hell i dont wanna play this crap anymore".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay is exactly the same as the first game. background look great. The plot is awful. I loved Joel, he made the first game awesome, and an hour and a half into the game he gets his face smashed in with a gold club and spit on. Ellie goes on a brutal revenge killing spree but in the end when finally given the chance to kill the person you set out for, decides "killing is bad". Made almost the whole game a pointless... This game is awful. Don't buy it. Play the first game and leave it at that. Expand

    Ending is super boring where nothing is achieved and you felt like you did nothing as Ellie. Joel dies in the stupidest way which is super out of character for him I mean he could of survived by using a fake name or not saying anything at all. Naughty Dogs behavior in trying silence the community is disgusting and shows they're in denial. Failure of a sequel

    Nothing more than liberal propaganda. Complete trash. I can't wait until the next Civil War, then we can play games based on the way we defeated the politically correct liberal nutcases that wanna suppress any views that differ from theirs.

    Super recomendable jugarlo y tener autocritica y pensamiento propio ya que el videojuego es muy humano, no estas viviendo una historia de super heroes, son humanos con actitudes grises, no hay buenos ni malos solo supervivientes, rencor, amor, sentimientos como los que todos tenemos.

    O jogo foi destruído, a historia do primeiro foi ignorada, nos obrigam a jogar com um personagem detestável tentando justificar as ações dele. Joel é um mercenário experiente, nunca tomaria as decisões que tomou nesse jogo.

    This game should not exist. Neil Suckman should be ashamed for lying to the true fans of TLOU. Using Joel to sell the game because they knew no one would buy it if they had just come out straight with Abby being part of the story.

    Awful gameplay/combat mechanics copy/pasted from uncharted 2. Terrible enemy AI that'll basically walk into your crosshairs. Worse than that, narrative decisions that ruin the characters we fans from the first game. Linear movie game that doesnt tell a decent story. False/ deceptive marketing leading to games release.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good parts:
    The game is pretty and game play is great. It improves upon the original and I loved it through and through.
    The flash back scenes feels like the real last of us. They have emotional weight and have some good character development for Ellie.
    These are the only good things I found in the game.

    Bad parts:
    Do the infected even matter in this universe now? There was no significant story arc involving infected. You can simply remove them from the equation, replace them with human and story barely changes a bit.

    There is another big problem in story that affects game play in a very bad way.
    You can't sympathize with Abby at all when you have a control of her. I started to not search for supplies with her and die on purpose just to see her die.
    The game gives Abby all the cool weapons and the boss fights to make you like her but the first act of killing Joel probably the most loved character and some dialog in game itself depicts her as a horrible human being. Why would anyone want to play as her for 10 hours?

    I loved the last of us and thought it did not need a sequel. It was probably the best story telling in video game that I have ever played. But they had to ruin my memory with this game.
    The only way to explain story with an analogy is a dog taking a giant crap, steps on it and walks everywhere. It is stinky, messy and all over the place.

    This game is overall mediocre as hell with no real advancements from the first. While I find mediocrity the worst mind of bad out there, it's the writing team, namely Neil Druckman that truly deserves the 0 star rating for how much he has butchered the plot.

    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]
