    This is what a waste of load looks alike!
    The game plot and the scenes of a pathetic re 4 cheap copy that looks similar.
    Maybe this is what it felt like wasting my time playing a game about oh god i cant even spell the word

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lo que aplaudió de pie y me quito el sombrero de este juego es por la Jugabilidad,música,sonido,doblaje,ambiente,enemigos tanto infectados como humanos y por último y lo maravilloso,los gráficos.

    Pero la HISTORIA es pésima,repetitiva,sin sentido ni argumento.
    Y mi pregunta es..¿fue una historia de venganza??

    Como hemos aprendido de TLOU1, Joel desconfía mucho de los extraños.Y cómo lo matan con un miserable palo de golf es una VERGÜENZA.
    Humillaron al personaje más querido que nos mostró en el primer juego.
    Pero que fue lo que más me enojo?
    Mataron a uno de los protagonistas de la primera parte del juego, y pusieron a otro en su lugar.
    Ser forzado a jugar como Abby.
    Después de matar a Joel? ¿Por qué? ¿Qué se supone que esto debe transmitir exactamente al jugador?

    Si matas a uno de los personajes más queridos al principio del juego y quieres traer nuevos personajes jugables principales como Abby,DEBES traer MUCHO más historia de fondo para que el jugador se sienta con ella. Nos cuenta básicamente en 10 minutos y que su padre está siendo asesinado. ¿Eso es todo? Y ahora tengo que sentirme como ella y entender por qué mató a Joel?
    Ósea,MATÓ a Joel!
    ¿Cómo haces que le guste al jugador?

    Tantas cosas ocurren al azar que no tienen sentido o que nunca se explican. Después están todos los otros personajes nuevos que se sienten vacíos.

    La escenas donde Abby intenta matar a Ellie.
    La verdad que llegó el punto en que no quería presionar el botón cuadrado para tratar de matar a Ellie pero el juego no te dejaba otra opción.
    Después pelear contra el personaje favorito y principal del último juego y dejarlo en un charco de sangre?? Al final Abby le perdona la vida a Ellie a modo de obligarte a simpatizar más con Abby?No puedo creerlo la verdad.

    ¿Ellie finalmente rastrea a Abby y la mata por venganza? No. Ella deja ir a Abby. A pesar de que no dudó en matar a cientos de personas desde el comienzo de su viaje en TLOU1 y este mismo TLOU2z
    Ver cómo matan a su ser más cercano Joel,Matan a Jessi,casi matan Tommy y despues a Dina y después todo el recorrido que hizo para llegar a Abby y a parte que Ellie abandonó su vida,hogar y familia para que termine así? Sola,sin dos dedos,triste y sin nada.    … Expand

    puedo decir que gráficamente es muy bueno pero la historia es excesivamente forzada , la jugabiilidad esta bien pero nada que no y se ha visto.
    si quieres un juego visualmente hermoso puede pasar pero como una historia flaquea mucho hasta el punto que llega a molestar ,sus mecánicas están bien pero nada de lo innovador que se hablaba
    en fin "solo un bonito juego"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A few things first. The gameplay was okay, nothing that new or innovative but still okay. The animation and graphics were spectacular. But you would have to pay me to play this game again, and that would be a maybe. What they did with the story and how they just bent their knee to the SJWs is just absolutely pitiful. Along with the false advertising, making it seem like Joel was going to be in it more mainly, you just offed him, literary spat on his body, and made us play as his killer. I do not care about Abby, I didn't want to play as them at all after that. You tried to make them look pathetic but you utterly failed at it. And then the ending, I don't think I have to even bring that up because I want to just forget this game. Waste of my money and time. And If you take this review down because of me being either a "Troll" or "Bot". I paid for the game on release, avoided all the spoilers, and tried to enjoy it. OKAY, I HAVE TRIED FOR OVER 30 MINS TO TRY AND POST THIS. YOU CAN'T JUST MUTE BAD REVIEWS.… Expand

    Stop feeding me this nonsense. Stop blocking the absence of thoughts with a "social message". This is not equality, this is inequality with the “+” sign for you.

    Loved the first game, but this sequel tried to push its agenda through characters like Eillie and Abby rather than good story telling. By starting it the same way Terminator dark fate did. Beloved franchises dying is apparently the new normal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game felt like a lifeless cash grab off the back of tlou 1, not only does the injected social justice feel forced but the storyline feels lazily written, rushed and out of order, not to mention the game forces you to play as the antagonist for half of the game and expects you to sympathize with ‘her’ through pathetic attempts to show ‘she’ is a decent human being when in actuality ‘she’ felt lifeless to play as and I couldn’t help but feel to put the controller down and stop playing. The ending to the game was was also a disappointment and overall just confusing as Ellie decides to let Abby go but mercilessly kills innocent people throughout the game to get to that point, I'm not sure if this was meant to show character development but it didn't come off as realistic or believable at all. Some of the plot makes no sense to me and felt like paper over the cracks during moments such as when Mel was assigned duty despite being heavily pregnant but was still involved with battles and somehow climbing ropes. There was a total lack of character development and the game did not give the player a chance to even grow close to any of the characters and to be honest not many of them were even likable. This game was not only ruined by the SJW, forced progressive hammer but lacked serious plot development and in all felt disappointing and a waste of a good opportunity, i feel bad for the teams of the game that weren’t involved with the plot as the game itself is stunning and the environments were fun to explore.
    I'm glad the user reviews are highlighting this game's huge flaws and if anything shows that critic reviews are worthless as they only seem to rate the identity politics of the game, and not the game itself.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With the leaks earlier on, the very moment playing as Abby is very uncomfortable and feel out of the picture with the story pacing. Paused to carry on the game after Joel dead, I don't know what am I feeling anymore.

    I not against Ellie letting Abby go at the end. Is not the issue with bringing the LGBTQ+ to game either, I am part of this community. The hack is we have heavy emotion and feeling on Ellie/Joel dual. Is okay when main character died in game but the way it delivered and forcing us to play as Abby, is totally mental torture. Over inserting SJW elements also feel disgusted. Feeling sad for the design, music, programming team to bring out such details and realistic environment but underrated. The storytelling hurts many of us.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It seems that there is a tendency to derail a work that has reached a peak of acceptance superior to other works.
    Stephen King is sometimes known to write excellent horror and mystery novels with bad or plain soft endings. Some TV series have been known to have won praise for its storytelling and realization, but with bad or sometimes silly endings, such as The Sopranos, HIMYM, Game of Thrones… Lately some Movies have been stained with the political agenda of Genre and LGBT propaganda...Toxic Feminism and useless political views. Examples abound.

    Now, it is the turn of what it could be the greatest videogame in its generation. But that isn.t accomplished on the second part of the story. The first one excels, but this second one...it is an absolute disrespect towards the 1st game.
    The story and the characters are so horribly written. The only thing that's truly great about this game are the graphics. And that's it. The quality of the story rivals the story of Star Wars VIII: The last jedi. And we are talking about a franchise-murderer movie.

    Score: 1/10
    - If you're looking for a great story, AVOID this game.
    - If you're a fan of the story and characters of the 1st tlou, AVOID this game.
    - If you don't like it when someone spits in your (or Joel's) face, AVOID this game.
    - If you don't care about the franchise and the future of gaming at all and all you seek are the
    graphics, buy this game.    … Expand

Este juego tiene como base de jugabilidad la historia y, al tratar de encasquetar una historia digna de una novela escrita a un videojuego, cometieron un grave error al no tomar en cuenta la inmersión narrativa (que es tres veces más cercana en un videojuego).

It’s a shame, the gameplay and graphics are astounding but the fact they kill Joel like that is disgusting. I loved the Ellie part of the game and that’s who the game should have been about. This was Ellie’s story, except it was only half Ellie’s story. The way they forcefully make you play as the She-man that killed our beloved hero and father figure to Ellie is just sick. I don’t know what they where trying to achieve with the Abby part of the game. I have no empathy and Feel no sorrow for her throughout the play through. Also the fact that you forcefully have to beat the **** out of Ellie is so wrong. We love Ellie , why the hell would w...................want to beat her to a pulp? And don’t even get me started on the ending . All I can say is this game could have been the game of the generation ruined by poor writing . Goodbye naughty dog and f u Noel **** Anpulp?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game represents everything wrong and repulsive about the entertainment industry nowadays. It's full of hacks who tell terrible stories, and push political agendas where they don't belong. There was never a problem with gay or female characters in gaming before. The first game had gay characters and a diverse cast. We've had strong female characters who are actually more interesting since the dawn of gaming. Naughty Dog is not fixing anything. They're ruining the legacy of one of the best games of all time.
    Neil Druckmann was right when he said that the game wasn't fun, nothing about this is fun, at a year where the world is completely miserable, this is what we get.
    Also don't get me started on the meaningless ending, or the portrayal of characters from thefirst game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What happened? The top tier writing from the first game is completely gone in this one. It’s like they forgot everything that made the first one great. Every single character has zero depth, and some of them are forced down your throat. I did not found myself invested in any character, which sadly even includes Ellie. The best part of the game is the flashbacks. characters make stupid and unbelievable decisions, and the game is filled with them. I would list them here but the list is too long. I genuinely struggled to finish the game, that’s how bored and uninterested i became. it felt like it was put together at the last second, full of lazy ass writing and one dimensional characters. There is way too much to hate about this game. They constantly push the revenge is bad theme, and then totally sabotage it in the end. Lemme explain, abby kills joel because he murdered his father, and she lost all her friends because of it but still gets to live with his new ally, Lev. Ellie that lets go of the whole revenge, loses jessie, dina leaves her, gets her arm broken, almost gets beat to death, murders people and a pregnant woman that continue to traumatise her, ptsd and two fingers. Oh and tommy **** hates her too. It’s like she lost everything and she was the one that let go of the revenge. First one was a timeless masterpiece, and should’ve been left alone.… Expand

The only thing surrounding this game is a veil of scandals and problems which is never a good sign. If the game is really good, has interesting characters, unique storyline, fascinating gameplay and fantastic game mechanics covered by beautiful graphics - you get Witcher 3, this game is nowhere near the faint ghost of such a solid experience.
    Unfortunately for whatever reason the developers decided to take a perfectly fine concept of the first chapter and added completely unnecessary forced and artificial SJWing. Characters now are poorly written but appealing to somewhat trending SJW fashion of vocal minority. Whole game feels like forced love plotline from the last Star Wars trilogy between that Finn and Rose - poorly written, completely artificial and out of place, it is Game of Thrones final bad. And by the way they've cast Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the "female" characters. No joke, there is a certain line between male and female even if the latter is a bodybuilder and is ripped af, that line is nowhere to be found, what they did was just take Arny's body and head-swapped the character. This game is wasted potential, ruined forever since it is canon and it won't be fixed like Sonic movie rendering for example. You know when the company actually listened about their mistake instead of insulting and aggravating customers? Like even EA did couple of times with Mass Effect ending and BFront2 and even somewhat BFV?

    It is shame that game narrative and "trendy artistic vision" decisions are so bad that completely overshadow fine sound, mechanics, motion capture, graphics and other unrelated things that are actually ok. It is just like a tumor in the brain - kills completely working body.

    Rent the game for 5 bucks if you like trash and want new kind of disappointment, don't buy for full price or on sale.

    As for the media and reviews from media companies - they just doing their work to get money. You won't see them criticizing the arm that feeds them. If you want honest opinions - watch your favorite streamer review or read couple of honest metacritic users, or if your are immune to massive disappointments - try playing yourself.    … Expand

    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.
