    Bad Game. The last of us is a game about a truly gripping storyline. The Last of us part II is not that

    La verdad me pareció una joya, el final deja mucho que desear, pero no podemos negar que esté fue un gran juego de principio a fin.

Além de não honrarem com o protagonista antigo, o jogo tem um péssimo desenvolvimento inicial de história. Realmente estou chocado.… Expand

    Game full of sjw bullsh***t, with a story that makes any fan of the first game disappointed, the only good thing of this sjw garbage is the graphics and gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the most Boring games I’ve ever played.. They kill off one the best characters, Joel, in the first 2 hours of gameplay then make you play as the character WHO killed him. I cannot believe how much of a failure this game is. Though the visuals are somewhat nice. Overall 1/10.… Expand

    Desde mi punto de vista se cargaron la historia del juego. Destruyeron los personajes para solo agradar a lo políticamente correcto porque sabían que se cargaron la historia. Es una desgracia que jodan una saga solo por quedar bien....

    an insult to the first game, horrible characters, a very slow start to a plot that is not up to the task and very repetitive to the point that you get bored, or at the heel of 1 the only thing you can say "how nice" are the graphics since gameplay is rough.

    Terrible game. The story and writing is terrible. relationships and characters are shoehorned in and are very awkward. Do not buy at full price. Wait until it is $10 or less.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Upsides: graphics are amazing, and the game is beautiful. The accessibility features are great, and as someone who sometimes fumbles with controls, that they are the same as the previous game is an excellent move, as so many game series move them around.

    Downsides...
    Side characters are included in a way that suggests we're supposed to care about them because the protagonist cares about them.. but the relationships aren't earned, they aren't displayed in any meaningful way (Compare and contrast with Joel and his daughter, from The Last of Us) so they feel artificial. The rapport that is supposed to exist between any of them feels hollow. Why should I care about Eugene? Jesse? Dina? I don't know these characters, I haven't spent time with them, so I don't care.

    The clickers take a back seat. They're there, but surviving them isn't the main problem any more. They're just there to remind the player that this is the Last of Us, and there's a permanent threat, as well as a leg up when the story stalls.

    Character development feels non-existent. There's no redemptive arc, or any significant change other than an abrupt heel-face-turn at the end.

    The deuteragonist is not a character I want to play as; why anyone thought it would be interesting to play as the bad guy is entirely beyond me

    Last, but not least, the killing of a fan favourite character... destroyed the whole reason I wanted the game in the first place, turning the rest into a pointless slog, like forever reading a book from the perspective of the least favourite characters and never getting to the chapters containing the characters that are of actual interest.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was stunning in terms of gameplay and mechanics..............but the story, the story was garbage. On god no cap, on a stack. The plot was pretty much You killed my dad so imma kill yours, yo you killed my dad so Imma kill you and your friends. Yo you killed my brother so imma kill you and your friends with my adoptive niece. It’s just a Revenge driven plot. I mean it’s hard to sympathize with A character who killed the person that literally made the first game and I think that’s where you lost everyone. Some deaths were pointless right towards the end it seems like you were just cutting people off for the hell of it. And that ending holy **** why did you do that to my girl Ellie. She made one of the hardest decisions in her life and she comes back to nothing that’s weird. Idk story seemed forced, gameplay was quick as hell, and Jesse died for no reason. Btw you guys tried so hard to make it dark.”She’s pregnant “ “That makes it even better” like tf does that even mean my guy? 1/10 in terms of story you tried. 10/10 in terms of gameplay. And I understand Joel’s death was needed to progress the game which I’m ok with. But everything after that is like wtf. I preordered the game don’t plan on playing it. Imma just use the theme and 6 avatar pfps I got. Cya… Expand

El juego esta bien, los graficos son geniales, el gameplay fantastico, mantiene algunas mecanicas del primer juego pero obviamente mejorado por esa parte es un muy buen juego, pero en la historia deja mucho que desear, que quede claro que a nadie le molesta la idea de que Joel muera, eso todos lo veiamos venir pero ejecutarlo de la manera en que lo hicieron es lo que enoja a los jugadores, mas el final, les recomiendo mucho que vean primero el gameplay en youtube y asi decidan bien si comprarlo o no.… Expand

    So before I begin, I'm about as left as one can get without sporting a hammer and sickle. Saying that even I grasp subtlety and nuance. This game has none of that. I tried really hard to avoid the leaks because I sooo wanted it to be good.
    -If I were just rating it on graphics, ambiance, and music it would be perfect.

    -If I were just rating it on graphics, ambiance, and music it would be perfect.
    -Gameplay is pretty much the same as the first which is fine, kinda frustrating at some points but
    overall a still good play through.
    -Were it face plants is in the narrative, characters, and plot.
    -I expected this game to be about Ellie, it would have been disappointing if it wasn't. I'm not "triggered " because she's gay. I've been rockin' gay female Shepard since Mass Effect 1. Certain character deaths were kinda expected to move the story along (the hero arc formula).
    -It feels heavily padded out to introduce new characters that don't really seem to serve a purpose other than to kill time. I never came to identify or even like any of them. Forgettable comes to mind. Most of the character plots and arcs go nowhere leaving me just wondering "why were they even there?".
    -The game makes a point to make you feel bad. It ham-fists the "dichotomy of man" constantly. I felt like it was nagging me almost to the point were I almost quit playing.
    -Its dark and depressing. There's no sense of hope or optimism. The first game gave you a dark, surly, cynical main character that life took everything from, and over the story rebuilt him with a likable, sassy, lost child. This game says "Don't even bother trying to live. Life's just going to come and kick you in the d#$k anyway" style.
    -Some reviewers seem to want to give it a high score for what it tried to do, but other games have already done it and done it better.

    A lesson on how to f*** up a sequel. The game play all ready feels outdated, the story and graphics are the only reason to care at all about the game. Even then the story is weaker than the first game, Don't buy this trash if you want to know what happens just watch it on Youtube. save your money and buy some better games

    Seriously? One of the firsts AAA games that treats with some respect people that are not male and doesn't have heterosexual preferences, that has great graphics and that improves the first one when it comes to mechanics.

    The game has come out hours ago but strangely has thousands of negative reviews.

    What a complete and total waste of talent. The gameplay is stale and bland. The story is a disgrace, with legacy characters acting like complete idiots and sociopaths. Druckmann, you really didn't need to draw the paper-thin premise of "violence begets violence" out over 30 hours and fill it with torture and gore porn in order to make your point.

    The original "The Last of Us" was    What a complete and total waste of talent. The gameplay is stale and bland. The story is a disgrace, with legacy characters acting like complete idiots and sociopaths. Druckmann, you really didn't need to draw the paper-thin premise of "violence begets violence" out over 30 hours and fill it with torture and gore porn in order to make your point.

    The original "The Last of Us" was beloved because it delivered on many different fronts. It was a great character piece. It was atmospheric. Even if it was needlessly violent most of the time, at least it was a straightforward point-a-to-point-b story, with lush natural vistas and a real sense of loneliness and atmosphere. "TLOU" had themes and depth. It was about mankind discovering his humanity in the ruins of civilization. It was about bonding, communication, relationships, and hope.

    "TLOU Part II" is about little more than peddling brutal, transgressive content, and on top of that, advertising it in a misleading manner to the millions of fans of the original groundbreaking title. Neil Druckmann, you in particular should be sued for false advertising for the way you edited Joel into the trailers. The way you instructed gaming outlets to only review the first third or so of the game is an utter disgrace that only shows the incestuous nepotism inherent in this godforsaken industry. And to top it off, hitting content creators on the Internet with DMCA notices really put the cherry on top of your crap sundae.

    I feel disgusted by the way this all was handled. If Amy Hennig were in charge of this, this never would have happened, because she understands something called nuanced storytelling. Look it up, Neil Druckmann. You should never be given creative control of any video game ever again, and I hope that other AAA devs will think twice before hiring someone as tone-deaf to their audiences as Anita Sarkeesian to consult. I pity the developers who worked so hard on this game's beautiful graphics, animation, soundscapes, etc., all in service of the worst story I've seen in a modern video game. Shame on you, Druckmann. Resign, for the good of gaming.    … Expand

    Im embarrased for professional critics that give this game a 10/10. How can this game sit amongst the highest rated games of all time. Sure the graphics are great but the game play is repetitive and boring, it does little to innovate from the original. The story is utter garbage and leans on shock factor to mask the lack of engaging story telling. A real dissapointment.

    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]
