    If you're really THAT interested in the story just watch it on YouTube. it's really not worth playing, let alone buying.

    As a video game it has amazing graphics, great voice acting and game design that was due for success and fame. However even with all that the story direction they took was mediocre and didn't follow the message the first game tried to give and show.

    The last of us 2 es una evolución en la narrativa de Naughty dogs, personajes muy bien trabajados y con una evolución progresiva. Buen juego, buena jugabilidad, más agresivo y con mejores graficos

    Visually stunning, fantastic music, voice acting is on point, gameplay mechanics are improved from the previous game and yet none of that matters because story is an absolute disgrace.

Story and characters were the one thing that made TLOU special - it wasn't the graphics, it wasn't the gameplay, it was masterful story telling and character development.

    The main reason for TLOU's success was Joel & Ellie and their relationship - that's what made the game and everybody expected the continuation of that relationship. Instead we got our "expectations subverted" (phrase used by hack writers who are incapable of writing solid story without gimmicks and added shock value). By and far the best part of this game's story was the flashbacks with Joel - if only that was the actual story and not just flashbacks that didn't even matter anymore after Joel went golfing.

    There are so many ways that Joel & Ellie's story could have continued and instead we got this disjointed mess that almost felt like writers purposefully tried to destroy everything fans of TLOU loved. In my eyes this game is not a canon, it didn't happen. Naughty Dog should be ashamed of themselves. And all those 10/10 critics should also be ashamed.    … Expand

    Игра классная, да не лучше первой части, да тандем слабее, но видно, что разработчики вложили душу в эту игру. Обидно, что люди засрали игру, ведь большинство в неё даже не играли.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If the game didn't look and sound so good this would be a zero. It is hard to get behind this story. Joel did everything he could and killed literal doctors to save Ellie, and after Ellie kills: Owen, Mel (pregnant), Nora, hundreds of random people; watched Jesse, Joel die; watched Tommy get shot in the eye; have Dina give her an ultimatum and break it; she FINALLY gets a chance to kill the supposed antagonist and can't. This nightmare of a story has literally everything unsatisfying happen that could happen. It feels like subverting expectations turned up to 14 and it is just too much and too far to be relatable or enjoyable. Disappointed.… Expand

    Relation between Dina and Elie is totally teenage row and uninspired.
    Game is really repetitive in conflict parts.
    There is no differemce between cheap hollywood scenerios.
    Naughty Dog have to be more respectful to customers.
    We have to balance againts inflated rates.

    When The Last of Us Part II was announced I was happy to see the continuation of Joel and Ellie's story but apparently Naughty Dog has a nasty surprise for all of you.

    I refused to believe everything in the leaks and decided to play for myself. However, I was left pissed off by the direction of the story, the agenda-pushing and SJW BS Neil Druckmann thought was the right thing to do. Everything felt just so unnecessary, ultra-violence portrayed felt unneeded and overdramatic. Major characters lack depth and development throughout and at best they often act out of character and at worst they are shallow and boring.

    The gameplay is pretty much the same as the first game with very minor tweaks and the only redeeming qualities have been ruined by Neil Druckman and the involvement of Anita Sarkeesian. TLOU2 do not deserve your money. Naughty Dog do not deserve your money.

    The story of Ellie and Joel already concluded in the first game so why don't you buy Ghost of Tsushima instead?    … Expand

    A story so ham-fisted and on the nose that you'll find your eyes rolling at hilariously obvious poor choices the characters make along with the dialogue they spout.

    Ellie and Joel are entirely different characters from the first title while new characters are rushed in with no care to attempt to earn your sympathy, and then subsequently tossed out and sacrificed to the forced emotional roller coaster Naughty Dog bought tickets for. An antagonistic character is introduced and matter-of-factly placed into the role of the protagonist without the writers even attempting to show any subtlety or self awareness for the lack of a coherent transition and only relies on tedious flash backs that will only serve to frustrate you and make you feel like you're being gated from progression.

    The script defines itself as nothing more than a B-rated shock horror-esque cinema thriller. The script also reeks of enormous plot holes and ill thought out thematic messages that are in constant contradiction from beginning till end. When the game itself largely shouts "REVENGE BAD" as its mantra, you won't find yourself surprised when it decides to flop on that message as well to "MISERY GOOD".

    Gameplay mechanics have zero notable improvement from the previous title. Graphics are brilliant with high frames even in dense jungle/flora vistas so that earns one point. Voice acting is superb so that also earns another point. Final score is a 2/10. Skip this mess of a sequel story no one asked for.    … 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]
