    Very disappointed from this game. I was expecting this to be as good as the previous game since it was in development for so long. There are just too many problems with it, like what were they thinking when they made this ?
    It's clear the game was made with politics in mind and a lot of focus went there rather than polishing the game's quality but i am not going write about those.

    To keep it short i will just write some of the things that i didn't like at all.

    I didn't like the forced brutal moments of the game that where there just for the sake of having something shocking. I felt like that they exchanged characters value for the shocking moments. There were also some really awkward unnecessary private moments that cheapened the characters value even further.

    I didn't like that unlike the previous game, the drama is way too artificial. The characters just weren't convincing enough, both in writing and voice acting.
    Same with the story of the game. I was expecting to see a lot of moments with our beloved characters from the previous game, now that they have grown wiser with the time, unfortunately that wasn't the case (I can't expand more on this without spoiling things).

    About the sound i will say the soundtrack is not memorable but passable. Voice acting felt a little dry but that may have been due to the script being so stiff and artificial.

    As far as gameplay goes, it wasn't anything revolutionary or new, i will just say it did the job. i just wish there were fewer QTEs, in any case this is a story driven game, and that's where the game didn't deliver.    … Expand

    Mira el juego tiene muy buena jugabilidad y es gráficamente hermoso pero la historia es una pieza fundamental en el juego y la verdad es bastante sosa y mala

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe how awful the writing is in this game. It's complete SJW non-sense with awful writing that completely killed this game. If you want to play an LGBT fantasy game then guess what Last of us 2 is just that! They killed Joel within the first hour then you have to play 15+ hours as the person who killed Joel then on top of that you don't even kill the person who killed Joel. Now we understand completely why the staff quit naughty dog before this game was finished.… Expand

    When it comes to complex storytelling, this is a 10/10. The nerve to deconstruct characters, to even have a queer main character - those are things that rarely happen in AAA Games. And it always comes with a backlash, as you can see right here.

    the game graphically is great, but the subject of the forced inclusions I see them as the bad series of netflix, espro it is not a trend in videogames, they already screwed up the cinema do not screw up videogames

    Do you like only graphics, acceptable gameplay and great animations? Then you will likely be happy/ok with this game.

    If any of the following questions is a yes then avoid this game.
    Do you like good story telling? We start having issues.
    Did you love the original characters of the first game? Then you will be heavily disappointed.
    Do you dislike rape fantasies? Even if they include a character that looks similar to the game director having violent sex with a person of dubious sex that looks like a steroid user?
    Do you dislike a company that tries to censor and get banned youtube channels and twitter accounts because they posted info about their game?

    Considering that one of the main values TLOU was the story, I would recommend avoiding this game since the experience is subpar in that area.    … Expand

    Honestly just really disappointed in this game, if you are here for the game play that is probably the only good thing with it. The storyline has got to be one of the worst I've ever played, I would have rather pre-ordered fallout 76 knowing how bad it is, than play this game.

    I played the game early to its release thanks to knowing people who had access to the cargo and such. But man do I wish I had never laid my hands on this abomination.
    Now let’s be honest here; The gameplay was ok, nothing too special or exquisite tho, just a smooth variation of what you’d find in other third person AAA titles.

    Now let’s be honest here; The gameplay was ok, nothing too special or exquisite tho, just a smooth variation of what you’d find in other third person AAA titles.
    The scenery and graphics and just the General way the game looked was stunning. Generally speaking, it is a really, reaally well-made game. Which makes me even more mad.
    Because all of the effort that the developer team put into creating such beautiful environment/characters, went to the bin thanks to the INSANE decisions that were made plot-wise, character-wise and marketing-wise.
    A game like the last of us, is all about the story. Which is what made the first game so memorable.
    I dare to say you could’ve just watched a play through of the game on YouTube and it still would’ve had the same effect because the last of us was basically an animated movie where you also had the control of the character which only made it slightly more engaging.
    Think of Last of Us Part 2 as a human being.
    A really really beautiful and good looking human being. Think of the design, gameplay and graphics as the skin and flesh of the game, and the story as the heart and soul of it.
    Now what’s a body without a soul??
    That’s right; a corpse.
    And what do you do with a corpse?? You bury it. Because there’s no bit of life left in an empty shell to help it keep living.
    And that’s exactly the case with TLOU 2.
    It may be ALMOST perfect in other aspects, but as long as the story doesn’t work, none of it is worth it. Much rather it makes it even more disappointing. Because you keep playing the game with a sense of shame and pity about it all the way thinking to yourself “what a great game it COULD HAVE become.”
    I barely finished the game, and as soon as I did, I sold my copy and am never gonna touch it again. It was a painful, torturous journey, that I wouldn’t wish upon my evilest enemy.    … Expand

But transgenders claim to be the other sex and then try to force their believes in others. .. people shall do what they need to do. But when they try to intrude my bathrooms and try to force what I have to say then that's where I cut the line. Men are men. Women are women. And I don't support The nonsense at all. And making this game a LGBTQ movement is a no-no... I also wouldn't like to have anti Trump or Bernie propaganda in my games. Already had enough that I need to see BLM movements on all websites if all I want to do is watch a movie. Please keep politics out of my games. Transgenders are humans which I sympathize with. They will never be able to be the sex they want to be. But I will never be 15 again. And I will probably never be announced as the most attractive guy on earth. Life is full of things you can never be. I feel bad for the high suicide rates. But you can't throw away basic logic. Is someone says he's a bird and he can fly I don't think trying to not stop him from jumping off a cliff it's the right thing to do because you accept him as bird. Mentally ill people need help. People with depression need help. And people who feel as if they're the wrong body need help. You just can't force me to think that men or women woman are men. Men are men and women a women.
    However they are human beings and I support their right to dress however they want. I don't support them having the right to take away basic logic and freedom of speech. And thus I cannot play this game. At a game I can play is 0/10.

    Highly doubt the so called industry gamers played the game. I would like to see them stream it and watch there reaction...

    The story took a turn for the worst and felt so generic.

    Lack of orginal story.

    Story: Absolutely NOO
    Characters: NOO
    Gameplay: Innovative system with enhanced artificial intelligence, jump and dodge system

    Joel dies in a shameful way with a golf club for a character known as Abby (She-Hulk) whose speech is: Stupid old man.

    After that we set out to seek revenge. We killed thousands of people during the entire campaign (including women, men and dogs) in order to find and kill Joel’s killer.

    Naughty Dog lied to fans in that trailer where Joel is shown covering Ellie's mouth and saying: I won't let you do this alone. The truth is that it is Jesse and not Joel, they did that just to make fans buy this game.

    And it is worth remembering that Naughty Dog was censoring youtubers who said something about the leaks and were also censoring on Twitter. Sony and ND have turned off comments and likes on their videos. I would not be surprised if someone tells me that these reviews of these "game sites" and some youtubers were paid    … Expand

    Not all games need a continuation. The Last of Us part II is proof of that.

    PROS: -The graphics are really beautiful. -The gameplay is very close to the first one. For me this is very good. -It is very pleasant to play with Ellie. -The world of the game is very well made. THE MIXED: -Some new characters are ok, I guess. You'll not care much about them, but they are necessary.    Not all games need a continuation. The Last of Us part II is proof of that.

    THE (REALLY) BAD:
    The story is absolutely lazy. They didn't put any, what so ever, effort to make a good story. The big event in the beginning is really REALLY bad, and the end is almost worst.

    Do yourself a favor: DON'T BUY THIS GAME. Wait until it goes on sale.

    And don't ever again trust in critics. The hype that they put on this game is a big fat lie.    … 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.

    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]
