With all the background of part I there is any reason to justify the co-protagonism that occurs. Half of the amazing gameplay that happens in the game is ruined by being forced to play as the worst co-protagonist in videogame history.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some reasons why i hated the game:
    1. False advertising.
    I avoided the leaks and pre-ordered the game. So, the only information I had about the game were from the trailers which clearly but deceptively showed that Joel would be a part of certain parts of the game. Except they killed him off within the first two hours, replaced him with another character and put his scenes as flashbacks even though the trailer showed him and Ellie as being older. At the moment they killed him off in the story I would have returned the game but trusting Naughty Dog and the professional reviews I had pre-ordered the digital copy so I was stuck with it and continued playing becoming more disappointed as the hours passed.

    2. The incoherence of Joel and Tommie’s characters which leads to Joel’s death.
    Both characters have survived decades in the postapocalyptic world, yet they stupidly follow an armed group down to the basement and then tell them who they are and where exactly they live. It doesn’t make sense. Why don’t they question why this armed group is so close to their settlement? Why don’t they assume they are some sort of raiders? Why were they not prepared in case these were bad people? Is this the same cautious and intelligent Joel that ran over a man pretending to beg for help for an ambush?
    A common response I’ve heard is that they became soft after the years of peace they’ve lived in. But being soft doesn’t mean being stupid. Also, the game itself contradicts this characteristic of Joel because in the game Ellie wears a gas mask, why? Because of Joel’s cautiousness! It is literally explained in a flashback that Joel does not allow her to tell anyone she is infected not even her friends and Joel tells her to wear a gas mask to which she replies no one is going to see her but Joel argues that they might run into someone.

    3. Abby.
    Our introduction to Abby is when Joel rescues her from being killed by the infected and then her immediately brutally torturing and killing him. This alone is reason enough for me to hate this character.
    The reason they give for her doing this does not justify it. Basically, Joel killed her dad and she was out for revenge. Except we know that Joel killed her dad in self-defence and her dad was trying to kill Ellie for a cure without her consent. Even the game shows that Abbie used the golden rule of “do unto others what you would want done unto you” to support her dad in killing Ellie arguing something like “if it was me, I would want you to do it.” Neither she nor her dad even wanted to give Ellie the choice. So, both Abbie and her dad are introduced as sadistic psychopaths.
    Someone might argue that Joel was also a sadistic psychopath, except as far as i remember, in the entire first game Joel only kills those who attack or threaten him and Ellie first. So, no he can’t be compared to Abby and her dad.
    And we are forced to play as her for 10+ hours.

    4. Gameplay.
    It’s the same gameplay as the first game. Except, in most cases, you can literally run past all the enemies then just jump over a ledge, climb something, go over a windowsill or most commonly hold triangle to open a blocked door. During the final sections playing as Ellie, I didn’t fire a single shot or kill a single enemy, I just rushed through. If I enjoyed the story and liked the characters then I would have played through properly but all I wanted was for it to end. Little did I know the ending was worse than I could imagine…

    5. The ending.
    The moral of the game is that revenge is bad. But at no point does Abbie show any remorse for killing Joel, she doesn’t suffer instead dozens of other people are killed by Ellie and co. Then at the end Ellie doesn’t kill Abby rather she actually saves her! Ellie ruins her own life and risks it in order to save Abby. She didn’t even have to take revenge, she just had to not get involved or walk away and Abby would have died.

    Conclusion
    I could write a lot more criticisms of this game such as it being an SJW’s wet dream and how they ruined Ellie’s character but at this point I just want to forget it existed. I hated it so much that it even ruined my like for the first game because I know it leads up to this garbage.    … Expand

    I waited 5 years to play this.Is just waste my time and money.
    The designer only cares about his personal ideal. He doesn’t care whether the game meets the expectations of the players.
    If you like《THE LAST OF US》 Please do not play this game it will destroy your heart

This game had such hype for experiencing a new story with Joel and Ellie! Instead we got Joel's death in the first 20 minutes, playing as Ellie for only have the game, and playing as Abby (Joel's Killer) for the second half. The creators of this game could have given us the first game with Joel and Ellie but had Abby chase us due to her fathers death or maybe have Ellie rescue Joel from Abby's base at the aquarium. There were so many other routes this game could have and should have gone. 7 years of waiting to watch Joel die to a girl he happened to conveniently run into and save in the wild, even though Joel had a ton of trust issues in the first game and still did. Ellie learned nothing from finding Abby and fighting her. She ditches Dina and the baby to go fight Abby, to not end up killing her, lose two of her fingers, and everyone that cared about her. The pacing was a mess, the fights were mashing the square button or triangle button and the clickers felt easier to fight! No more shiv making for Ellie! She just has a knife that never breaks so now you can beat clickers easier than the walking infected lol. Also, thank you for tricking us in the trailers showing older Joel as if he was actually a big part of the game, but instead it was cut scenes of the past Joel. What a mess. Please, I beg you not to make a third game as that will continue to destroy the brilliance of what the first game was as this game has.… Expand

    Lo Unico bueno que le puedo ver a este juego son sus gráficos y jugabilidad pues son una experienca fantástica, pero ¿de que te sirve eso? si la historia y la narrativa son una basura
    Solo es entender la historia para saber que destruye todo lo que el primer juego creó, el final... es decepcionante sientes como si todo lo que hiciste en el juego fuera una perdida de tiempo

    No tiene nada similar a lo que se nos presnto en los trailers, y las prereseñas anunciadas para el lanzamiento, jugaron con toda la historia que habia detars y el legado de mucho tiempo de insertidumbre ante la infeccion, solo lo hicieron de lado y pusieron problemas personales en medio de una pandemia y el sentido de supervivencia del ser humano, es una historia muy deficiente.

    Unfortunately, I actually played this game.
    Don't bother. Really save yourself and check out other games. I'd rather shave my grandfather's legs than this.

    Negative two stars for the story and characters. But the graphics are very good. So my final review is zero.

    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]
