    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst games i have ever witnessed.They ruined the characters of the first game, made a horrible, hated character playable for diversity reasons killed a beloved character with a horrible way in the first few hours of gameplay and in the end we have a game about revenge but you decide the last minutes 'Mehhhh revenge don t worth it even if you ate my fingers hannibal and killed my father figure ' plus THAT SEX SCENE.

    SHAME ON PPL DEFENDING THIS.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a complete failure. By killing Joel, the main character of the first installment, the game shows that revenge for unforgivable behavior will lead to revenge. But as time goes by in the second half, Abby is forced to play, and by forcing the player to inject political correctness into the player, the player's interest is all gone, and the latter and the ending give the user a great disgust. Naughty Dog's big meaning of revenge is not to avenge itself because it gives birth to revenge, must have been thought that after the protagonist kills all the vengeful friends of his opponent, he only saves them. It's really f***ed up.… Expand

    TLOU made me remember why I loved games and gaming.

    Alternatively, TLOU2 is an outdated idea carried over from when the game was announced in December of 2016 and no doubt the agendas that were being heavily pushed in 2015 and on. The difference is, while this game was being made, we've seen people are fed up with being talked down to and told what to like and if you don't like it,    TLOU made me remember why I loved games and gaming.

The difference is, while this game was being made, we've seen people are fed up with being talked down to and told what to like and if you don't like it, you're automatically and "-ist" or a "-phobe". It was too late for their garbage rhetoric to change and/or Druckmann was in it for the end game. Although, ND and Sony no doubt still want to turn a profit, so they lied and connived this b.s. game and hid stuff and changed things for trailers to sucker in the old fans. Good on you, you suckered a lot of fans. But in the long run, will it really be worth it?
    I'll NEVER buy a ND game again. I won't be buying a PS5. I won't ever buy another Sony product in general, because they attacked youtubers livelihood and during a pandemic of all times!! That's some bad will you can never erase.
    And if this is one of the "exclusives" on PS, WGAF!?
    I'm only annoyed I'll lose all my GTA V progress and hundreds of dollars on megalodon cards I've bought. MY PS Plus membership ends at the end of this year and that's when I'll say goodbye to Playstation. I'm disgusted with you as a company. The game was bad enough, but I could have wrote it off to Druckmann and maybe still boycotted ND. But after what Sony pulled on behalf of this **** game, I'm out! And unlike Ellie, I believe in 2 eyes for an eye and then I'll cut your throat!

    I still say Druckmann leaked this himself because after firing testers and going home and looking at his Manny face in the mirror, he realized how epicly he f'ed up and was going to have to answer for it shortly. He couldn't keep delaying the game for no reason, so he leaked it. Figured he could hide behind the umbrella of anyone who doesn't like this game is an "-ist" or a "-phobe", but when people weren't buying that tired b.s. argument, he had no recourse and couldn't be the martyr he wanted to be.

    I also believe his goal was to release this Father's Day weekend. Down with the patriarchy and the toxic white males and at the hands of their own tool of "privilege", a golf club. Neil showing us young girls don't need toxic male fathers or father figures in their lives! Bravo, Neil! Stunning and brave! 10/101!    … Expand

    The story makes no sense and does not fit with the first game. Then you have all the SJW stuff being shoved down your throat...do not buy this game, waste of money

    Ahora mi opinión

    Espere con ansias este juego jugue la primera parte hace 2 años pero de igual forma es muy bueno, pero matar repentinamente al protagonista del juego en media hora es muy muy Tonto, quiero decir como Joel siendo un Veterano en la supervivencia confía junto a Tommy en un grupo de desconocidos para llegar y decir sus nombres como si nada, desde el primer momento se sentía la tensión de que no era bueno. Además de que te hacen jugar con el Asesino de un personaje importante y hacerte luchar contra el protagonista es demasiado ridículo, sobre todo la historia es muy mala y aburrida ( me divertí mucho más en los flashbacks de ellie que en todo el juego, no es broma.)entiendo el mensaje de que la venganza es mala, pero amigo! De eso se trata el juego y de haber sido así por que asesinar a joel? Y hacerte recorrer medio mapa con Ellie asesinando cientos de personas para quea al final dejes a nuestro objetivo escapar como si nada. _. Estamos hablando de la persona que que Asesino a tu padre, tu tío, tu amigo y casi asesino a tu novia embarazada y que te arranque los dedos cuando tu pasatiempo es tocar guitarra . _. Estamos hablando de la persona que hizo el miedo de Ellie realidad, quedarse sola , ya que hasta Dina se fue de la casa con su hijo, como es posible esto? , sinceramente los flashbacks del juego fueron lo mejor sin duda, además de que me hicieron llorar al estar más tiempo con Joel como un padre divirtiéndose junto a Ellie. Así que el gameplay y los flashbacks me hacen darle algo de puntos al juego.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly a horrible direction to go with the story and pacing of the game, you have effectively spit in the faces of your audience and on a beloved character. If you want to kill a character like Joel you have to earn it with your storytelling. The way that it is done here is completely ineffective. If you want to introduce a new character that's fine, but don't have the new character kill a fan-favorite character from the first game in the first two hours of the game with no background on who the person is and why she wants to kill him. This cannot be done after the fact it's not clever, it's lazy writing.
    Furthermore, to force the audience to play as the new character after an event like this eliminates all motivation (for me at least) to continue playing your game. I will be refunding this as soon as possible. Shame on you Neil Druckmann and shame on you Naughtydog for allowing a dumpster fire like this to come to market after such a long wait and at a $60 price tag.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been waiting for this game for a very long time, 2 years. Finally, it happened, I bought it. I started to play. The first 4 hours without stopping everything was fine. All the myths about the PlayStation noise have been confirmed, but it is overlaid by the sound from the TV. But the voice acting and soundtrack do not even allow you to remember this. Great story, graphics and interface. As for the promotion of homosexuality, it's even interesting to watch. Nowhere else in the games I've played has it been like this. And Dina has a very nice voice. In General the game is great… Expand

    However, it's not characters itself, but how this games story is done in the core. It's a poor forced representation of vengeance, human violence, unmotivated decisions, gimmicky plot twists, bad character building, and it totally ignores all points which were made in the first game. It's hard to relate yourself to the characters, which your have no information about at all. There's not enough buildup to make players understand what's going on. Some decent, deep and really meaningful character conversations completely ruined by it's placing. Making it seem unnecessary and even ridiculous. Like a different parts of unconnected narrative shuffled and randomly put together. It feels weird. And that twist for a twist middle game part.. Maybe it would be better to change it vice-versa and start your game with that "twist". Wrap it differently. It would've made more sense in that case.

    It does not matter what Neil Druckmann intended to say, it's what he did. And it seems like a spit in the face of all the fans of the fist game, and even the newer ones. Simply thinking that people won't get the more subtle and realistic approach to storytelling does not itself make it true. Don't treat your audience like idiots. Don't destroy your own characters in a stupid ways, just cause you don't like them or they don't fit your new "brilliant story".

    And that leads us to gameplay, which were "significantly improved since the first game". But it's exactly the same. Sometimes it feels like endless walking simulator with looting and repetitive fights. There's really nothing more to say about. Cope that with bad storytelling and forced character building, and it almost feels like fillers, just to get the important message to "ignorant crowd". But there's no message. Nothing to make conclusion of. Nothing to change your mind. Just some scenes that intended to be shocking one, but again, with all said above it just seems like a bunch of nonsense.

    The only things that shines in that game is scenery, animations and characters look. Beautiful landscapes, good visual design. Graphics seems good, though it's mostly art style. No really big technical leaps or something outstanding. It's still blurry and grainy, but has decent lights, overall look quality and maintains 30 fps almost everywhere, which is rare for most of the console games. Seems that the team knows how to work with provided resources.

    With all that said, i won't recommend this game for entertainment nor for developing your point of view. It's kinda sad that so many hard work of talented people could be ruined by one persons vision. At least it did for me.

    TL/DR:
    So, what do we have in the end? Poor storytelling, bad twists, lack of character motivation, and their bad development. Weird resentment to the first game and it's values. Claiming to have a message, but instead providing childish, hysterical, flat and oversimplified representation of modern world view. Beautiful scenery and design. Good sound. Ok graphics, good characters visuals, animations and nice console performance.    … 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.
