    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People took upon themselves to destroy the rating of this game. All because they do not like an homosexual character which is actually one of the most brave and strong characters I ever played with, a resolve like Ripley of alien. People hate it because Joel dies, because the antagonistic is not likeable or for anything the game ends up with. Not sure why as I haven't ended the game and the 10 is to balance out other reviews with a 0. Gameplay is fantastic, huge improvement and very fluid, graphically stunning and huge areas to explore, enough to get lost. Characterization is fantastic and very deep. The game is one of the most defining ones for this generation of games, give it an honest try, I assure you thst is is a brilliant game.… Expand

    Beautiful experience and a worthy sequel. The art, direction, acting, music, gameplay and writing is exemplary. It’s a journey worth taking, brutal, honest and full of moments that will break your heart and leave you questioning everything.

    So this game is VERY OBVIOUSLY getting review bombed. I see review bombing as an extremely distasteful and immature practice... First off, there is NO WAY that this many people finished the game after only being out a few hours (when the negative reviews started popping up), therefore they're basing their reviews off of hearsay, political views and/or very initial opinions at the least -So this game is VERY OBVIOUSLY getting review bombed. I see review bombing as an extremely distasteful and immature practice... First off, there is NO WAY that this many people finished the game after only being out a few hours (when the negative reviews started popping up), therefore they're basing their reviews off of hearsay, political views and/or very initial opinions at the least - which is not fair. Admittedly I'm only about 5 hours in and I'm working from home if that tells you anything - I gots the time to put in and I've barely grazed the surface. I mean are all these people just like "F$*% it" and staying up to play for 30 hours straight ignoring the rest of their lives? I don't think so...

    The story-line *5 hours-in* is emotionally charged, the characters are ok - not mind-blowing but also not worthy of a zero... The very first thing that caught my attention is the graphics. Now I'm a PC gamer and I originally only bought the PS4 for Bloodborne. I've come to appreciate the PS4 as it's opened me up a whole new category of PS4 exclusives which are mostly top tier quality games. Within the first 20 minutes I got used to the 24fps @ 4K on the PS4 (down from 144fps @4K on my monster PC) and in all honesty I was pretty blown away... (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)

    I think the problem of the blatant review bombing stems from within two areas... 1) there have been some leaks and some of these story-based leaks have been extremely unpopular with hardcore fans and 2) The use of LGBT characters is seen by many in gaming culture as a sneaky way of forcing a political agenda onto the audience. This kind of thing definitely happens and it can ruin a game if it's over the top, but IMHO it's NOT the case here. Before even giving the game a chance many stubborn fans are screaming "SJW! SJW!". For myself, I appreciate diversity in both life and in games. I love seeing/hearing a story from someone who doesn't make similar lifestyle decisions as I do or maybe belongs to a subculture that I don't have much knowledge of. It's eye opening and by having some diversity in games it only helps the community. I do admit that I don't like political agendas shoved down my throat either but that is NOT what is happening here. She just happens to be gay, that's it, end of story - get over it. I honestly think that by continuously bringing this up it only makes the gaming community look like we're bigoted/closed-minded and I know that many of us are not.

    As I stated, I'm only about 5 hours in and I've been trying not to catch any spoilers... I will come back and write an HONEST review once I have finished the game but for now at least, take user reviews with a grain of salt.    … Expand

    This is a complicated game that will be hard to play for anyone. A complex story of vengeance and letting go. I feel like there are slight gaps in dialogs and pacing, but overall it is a masterpiece and one of the greatest gaming achievements.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll start with the obvious, no game is perfect. But many people seem to be overly negative, and I think this game is definitely a 9.8

    To begin, I'd summarize this game to be the perfect sequel to what it meant, Joel's selfish deadly love act to keep Ellie.
    You learn to see a story through your own eyes, if you know why you made a bad choice you can justify it. Sure you wouldn't want others to do it, but you were different. You had a good reason.
    The game dives into this quite hard, and this will hit like a sledge hammer. Any writer should be proud to have written something so meaningful. Everything build together so wonderfully.

    Music was always linked to Joel, and by the end, Ellie has learned Joel's love, and his anger. Loosing her musical fingers severs her from music, now what that means exactly is up to yourself, to me it seems like it allows her to grief. But to you that may mean something different, and that's a great key of writing, the meaning depends on your experience. But it's a tough thing for sure to involve yourself in this story. My hat is off to the writers though.    … Expand

    Possibly the most engaging story I’ve ever seen in a video game. Improves on the original game in every single way whilst taking the narrative in a whole new direction. Certainly one of the best games of the decade, and one of my new favourites!

    TLOU2 is an amazing experience, the visuals are insane, the gameplay feels good, the music is top notch, and about the most controversial part, the story, all I have to say is that you gotta play this game yourself, and playing it with hate and the tought that it has any sort of propaganda, will ruin your experience and take on the story .

Six years of dedication went into this game and it shows around every corner and building. The emotions this game instilled in me when I was playing was like nothing I've ever experienced in a game before. This is truly a work of art, one that should be applauded for it's accomplishments. For those disliking the story, you might want to consider a lesson in History and the brutally of the real world and perhaps even the foundations of Psychology to comprehend empathy and sympathy. The games story takes some degree of intelligence to appreciate and understanding the meaning of what these fictional characters are experiencing and how the story unfolds for them.… Expand

From the graphics, to unprecedented rope physics, all the way to a fully functioning guitar - Naughty Dog surprises with an unbelievable level of detail, without ever sacrificing the game’s performance. The story is what you’d expect from the next title in the installment. With that, I mean that the story meets (and exceeds at times) the unreasonably high expectations anyone may have had after playing the first title. It’s original, heartfelt, and sincere. The characters are so well written that their adventure feels like your adventure, love and heartbreak, and all.

    The gameplay is a perfect extrapolation of what made the first game great. From combat, to stealth passages, to small passages of open world exploration, it doesn’t do anything incredibly new, but it does everything incredibly right. Who should play this: If you’re a person with a heart, and you love heartfelt stories driven by sincerely written characters, you should definitely play this game. It does stand on its own legs, but to understand the characters’ motivations, you’ll need to have played the previous title.

    Who shouldn’t play this: If you can’t stand blood and gore, and strong language, you might want to be careful. This is also not a game for children. Additionally, if you have a problem with the creative director denouncing Nazis, or there being gay characters, you shouldn’t play this game, and instead take the next rocket heading straight into the sun.    … Expand

    Technically perfect game, almost perfect gameplay, over the top graphics and facial expfessions. Regarding the story it’s definitely something different from the original, it may not be your cup of tea but it’s an incredibly daring gamble that in my opinion pays off almost completely. Some parts feel too dragged for story reason and the pacing in the second half it’s quite bad.

    I don't recommend this game to people who feel emasculated by the fact that the main character in this story is a lesbian—it is a shame that the rage of these people has tanked the user score of this game.

If this game had better writting and proper execution, this game would have been better. Like I said this game has a good story which touches upon some good and complex themes, but only poorly written with less interesting narrative. I respect them for trying something completly different instead of making and following the huge of success of the first game. People are hating on this game for only a single plot element and should ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME. Overall, this isn't near to the perfection of the first last of us, but its still a good game. I mean not everyone can give out a perfect game each time and naughty dog is no exception and there will be times where they can disapoint which is ok. I still felt slightly disappointed, since I have been hyped for this game back in psx 2016 but I'm sure they won't disapoint with their next game. My rating for last of us 2 is an 8/10. This rating mght seem good, but for me naughty dog's range is atleast a 9 to truly deliver. Moving to the technical aspects, the ghraphics are stunning and beautiful and its easily the best and realistic looking game I have ever played. The acting and facial animations are exellent and the sound designing is so realistic and great. The gameplay is far more improved in this game, there are many new mechanics that were added which adds another layer to the gameplay. I really enjoyed the gameplay, it was fluid, realistic and really fun. This time the AI is much more improved making the encounters more challenging and you have to be more stategic to approach them. There are so many small details that are just crazy to see. In brief, its a technical masterpiece and they put **** ton of effort in making this game and few reports say this game costed them at least 100 million to make. They pushed the boundaries of gaming and I can't imagine how their games will look on PS5.… Expand

I understand so many people are mad about how they treated Joel however this is part of the story, I accept it and let the game finish the storytelling. I think it is unfair to judge a game just because of its opening. The best part of the story I think is Abby's story. It was so great and her relationship with Lev is so touching. It makes the game duo heroine and tells the story in a creative way: two girls, different story but related, opposite side at three same days. Many criticize that at the ending Ellie should kill Abby but in my own opinion, she should let Abby go. Everyone is their own hero in their own story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is honestly the best narrative / story telling experience I've ever had in a video game, I would go as far to say any media actually.

    This is the exact reason why I believe video games can be a true evolution of art. What was done here is just impossible in any other media and will certainly be talked about and praised for years and years on.

    The non-binary narrative and change in perspective that forces the player to deal with the full listening of a second perspective. Imagine you being quiet and just hearing out someone speaking about something you 100% disagree for 10+ hours, do you see yourself dealing with that? Well you should, because that's how you can improve as a person.

    This game is a life lesson everyone should have and a lot of people learn the exact opposite of this (specially because of the internet). People are being trained at hating each other because of the most stupid things (liking/disliking a media for example) and people don't have the mindset to stop and listen to that second opinion. You might not like it, but you must listen and give time to understand.

    Real life is exactly like this, non-binary, unpredictable and full of mistakes and dumb moments (I would say that 100% of humans in the world have put themselves in a bad situation without prior realization). This game is the definition of "You're not prepared".

    I know I won't change nobody's opposite opinion, and if you read up until this point, thank you and if you haven't played this game, please do, I feel this is an important tale. Be sure to play both games. If I would make one complaint about this story is that you too tied to the first one and you can only fully understand this game profound message if you played the first one.    … Expand

    This is arguably the most staggeringly deep games I've ever played. The swath of 0/10 and 1/10 scores written by boys who don't know what to do with their dEeP FeELIngS, while simultaneously accusing Naughty Dog of poor writing, is ironic and pitiable.

    Facing the consequences of your actions from TLOU1 and experiencing the impact of the (at best) morally dubious actions taken by Joel    This is arguably the most staggeringly deep games I've ever played. The swath of 0/10 and 1/10 scores written by boys who don't know what to do with their dEeP FeELIngS, while simultaneously accusing Naughty Dog of poor writing, is ironic and pitiable.

    Facing the consequences of your actions from TLOU1 and experiencing the impact of the (at best) morally dubious actions taken by Joel bring a depth to this story that was necessary to elevate it beyond standard survival horror fare. The difficulty in letting go of a difficult past and questioning our actions are themes which the game forces you to confront. Boys who want to remain in their hugbox with daddy figure Joel will resist it and lash out, blaming perceived external flaws rather than examining themselves.

    Many (likely most) of the negative reviews never played the game. The shallow complaints about the visibility of LGBT characters displays an antiquated understanding of the world. (Oh no, one minor character character who happens to be trans?? The horror.) The lack of understanding that Joel was a well-developed character, but not an unequivocally good person, is prevalent. "I like Joel, so anyone who opposes him is bad," is the gist of their argument.

    Read a book, boys. Travel somewhere foreign. Get accustomed to being outside of your comfort zone and see how much you can learn about empathy before you die. If you played TLOU1 when it came out, you're an adult now. Act like one.    … Expand

    Story: Divisive and emotional, like all good works of art are. The narrative shows that no one is neither good or bad, but capable of do good or bad.

    Gameplay: A refinement of the original gameplay with good new mechanics, like the ability to dodge attacks with L1, an the ability to go prone, wich helps a lot in stealth sections.

    Graphics: It makes me think I don't need a PS5 right now...

    An amazing game with a unique and interesting story. It is clear the developers had a story they wanted to tell, and they pulled no punches. It's sophisticated, tackles modern issues and takes turns that no one expected. The gameplay is fairly similar to the original, but wider and more open.

And - OMG - all the aesthetic details that has been poured into this - an achievement in environmental storytelling. This is the first game that I knew I was going to play twice. So, back to t he beggining : this score is a demonstration of our behaviour toward a media that keeps changing and the fact that we still don't respect game creators enough so we accept them as author of their game. They did what they did because that's what they wanted to tell and to transmit. And looking at all the badly argued hatred in these reviews, they succeded : they shown how deep the interaction with the viewer is when videogame show its true potential. So, congrats Naughty Dog - You've achieved something really unique : it will take time for may of us to understand that.… Expand

And for a game to take around 20-30 hours, I would go as far as to say that nobody actually played the game and only read the online leaks that were posted about a month prior. The leaks on their own sound pretty bad, and it does sound like lazy and awful writing, but in the context of the story, I promise you it makes perfect sense. The themes of the game is what make it so incredible, it's ultimately about how characters deal with grief, actually even part 1 was about dealing with grief, so anyone who says this game is untrue to the original, clearly hasn't played the game. Naughty dog take a very bold choice with the story and it really puts you into Ellie's mindset with the feeling of pure hatred, but the genius of it all is when they show you the other side to the story. This is when you start becoming conflicted and you actually start to empathise with people you really think you wouldn't. Personally I prefer the first game, but this wasn't a disappointment at all. The reason it's not a 10 for me is because of some pacing issues towards the middle of the game and I preferred the general story of the first game as that was near perfection. A great sequel from Naughty Dog and looking forward to what they next bring to the table.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played through the game twice at this point just to have a good opinion and to give the best review possible. This game gains a lot of controversy and now I understand why. It is not a 10/10 game as the reviewers say, but it is not a 5.6 or a 0 as the users rate it either. The game is definitely flawed and is not as perfect as the first one was. As both a naughty dog and the last of us fan, I waited for very long to play this game. I wanted to see out the story and the perfect cliffhanger the first one ended with. But sadly, by the end I was left confused and frankly not satisfied with the story or the characters.

    It has positives, with which Im gonna start. The gameplay is fantastic. Even though they only added proning, dodging and jumping to the game, it gives the already great gameplay the first one had even more depth and options to have fun with. I found the mechanics great and the weapons good as well. The game is its best when played on survival difficulty since it forces you to use all available resources in any given situation. The graphics are also amazing and breathtaking, the environments and the action sequences are great as you might expect from naughty dog. the sound design is one of the best I have ever been exposed to. Playing this with good quality headset will enhance the experience greatly. And as you might expect from a naughty dog game, it involves and uses your emotions very well.

    But I do regret to say this game has very low lows. The characters and the story are very poor compared to any previous naughty dog game. It felt as though they crumbled by the pressure of the greatness they achieved with the first game. For me, playing half the game as Abby was a huge disappointment. I did not care for her. I did not want to play as the person who killed the character I loved so much from the first game. I found myself rushing through the parts where I had to play as her, both because I thought they werent gonna be as long or as relevant. I did not had any interest at all about who she was, who she liked and disliked and what her background is. I did find some value in understanding what her motivations were for killing Joel, but that did not justify me playing so much as her.

    I bought this game to play as Ellie. It is as simple as that. I wanted to see out her story, I wanted to understand how everything affected her. And even though the game has a very clear message that the past will haunt you, that revange is not always good, and that this girl that you loved lost her innocence, It felt as though they almost completely destroyed all the flawless character development they achieved in the first game. I repeat, I wanted to play as Ellie, and halfway through the game I found out that I would not play as her as much as I wanted to.

    This brings me to how much the writting and the gameplay favored Abby. She gets some of the coolest action sequences and some of the most relevant moments of the story. But the thing is I did not care about her at all. It just felt as grinding for me, just to come back to where the story involves Ellie again. Then, Im left with me still playing as Abby getting to almost kill Ellie even though I did not want to. I found myself letting Abby be killed by Ellie just to get the satisfaction, but the game didnt give me that choice. It just pulled me back to do what I was suppossed to be doing.

    Naughty dog is an expert in story driven games. But this game is too story driven for its own good. It tells the story they want to tell. It doesnt give you any choice in whatever happens in the story, and that is not always bad, but when you were so emotionally invested from playing the first game, it just feels like they are manipulating you into completing the story they want to.

    Overall the game is pretty damn good and it achieves a lot. It is deffinitely one of the best games i played this generation on the ps4, but I was very dissapointed with how it turned out story wise. The characters deserved better, Joel and Ellie deserved better. I did not care for Abby, for anyone she loved, and for anyone she met. It felt as if all the characters in her side of the story were just shoved in there and they expected you to like and undesrtand them. But I didnt, and I doubt anyone did. I played The last of Us and I cared for Joel and Ellie because of that. The sections of the game that have joel and Ellie are some of the best, but they are so few and far between that the game just ruins them.

    So.. I give this game an 8 because I am a naughty dog fan and a The last of us fan,but if I was not i Could have given it a 7 or lower. Gameplay is good, graphics and audio are good, but story, progression and characters are poor, especially after all the hype and expectation the first game caused.    … Expand

    I'm not a fan of heavy-handed social messages in games, and feared the worst when I started. I can remember only one scene toward the beginning that had me rolling my eyes; the rest of the time it felt like honest struggles of real, flawed, nuanced characters. This is not stuffed with "woke garbage" as some would have you believe.

I can remember only one scene toward the beginning that had me rolling my eyes; the rest of the time it felt like honest struggles of real, flawed, nuanced characters. This is not stuffed with "woke garbage" as some would have you believe.

    Let's get the bad out of the way first: the story drags on an hour or two longer than it needed to, and sometimes it felt like my deaths were a result of sluggish controls. I could feel the game making an effort to make each scenario different and interesting, but there are a few instances where it feels repetitive. The steady addition of weapons and tools feels a little too slow at times; some of the encounters could probably have been cut and that would speed up both the plot and the power progression nicely. I'd say the pacing is mostly good, but not perfect.

    But now we get to the good, and it's a bit overwhelming. This game's storytelling chops are in an entirely different league than most games; and yeah, the direction it goes is very different than I was hoping and expecting. I agree that the plot could have been better, but we need to judge games by what they are, not by how we would have written them. What's here is executed masterfully, and truly challenges the motivations of YOU, the player. It makes you ask what drives you personally, and what you think about hate, love, revenge, violence, and forgiveness.

    The story is what we are here for, but the gameplay is no slouch. While not on the same level as many 3rd-person action games, it's competent on the surface and surprisingly deep when you start to get creative. The weapon sandbox interacts very nicely with your tools and the environment, allowing for creative plays if you've got the guts and the resources. Gameplay is nothing special to note overall, but it also generally does not detract from the overall experience.

    We all imagined a Part 2 that followed a similar format to the first game, but Naughty Dog wanted to do something different. I still wish we could get that game we imagined, but I'm also happy that this game exists as it is. Well done and bravo to the developers for branching out and trying something infinitely harder. I dare not guess where Part 3 will take us, but I'm excited for the ride.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II es tan sombrío y violento como se anuncia, pero no sin calidez ni humanidad, hay algunos momentos realmente hermosos y tiernos que marcan la miseria y el trauma. Estas experiencias se acentúan entre sí.

    Si bien no se pueden discutir muchos detalles de los personajes aquí, ya que potencialmente estropearía la sorpresa de cualquier personaje nuevo o recurrente,    The Last of Us Part II es tan sombrío y violento como se anuncia, pero no sin calidez ni humanidad, hay algunos momentos realmente hermosos y tiernos que marcan la miseria y el trauma. Estas experiencias se acentúan entre sí.

    Si bien no se pueden discutir muchos detalles de los personajes aquí, ya que potencialmente estropearía la sorpresa de cualquier personaje nuevo o recurrente, siento la necesidad de elogiar especialmente el trabajo de Ashley Johnson como Ellie. Johnson ha ganado su momento en el centro de atención aquí, ella trae una actuación de otro mundo al juego como una Ellie más vieja y desgastada. Las capas de trauma y resentimiento han creado un callo a su alrededor, como una armadura hecha de tejido cicatricial que ella usa para protegerla del mundo exterior o para dejar que otros entren, pero las sombras de la niña que conocimos y amamos hace siete años aún se abren paso desde tiempo al tiempo. Troy Baker, de manera similar, ofrece el mejor desempeño en su carrera como Joel ofreciendo nuevos tonos de vulnerabilidad al rol, incluso en un rol más de apoyo. Estos son hermosos

    The Last of Us Part II te lleva al corazón de la oscuridad, dentro y fuera, y provoca al jugador a sentir cosas y confrontar ideas que el género de acción y terror rara vez se atreve. Incluso su predecesor solo coqueteó con el tipo de ideas que explora The Last of Us Part II , hasta el codo.

    The Last of Us Part II es una obra de arte sombría y valiente de un estudio que trabaja en la cima absoluta de su poder. Han sido expertos en escenas cinematográficas durante mucho tiempo, esta podría ser la primera vez que hacen un juego donde la narración y los temas centrales también se comunican de manera efectiva a través del juego en sí.

    Una obra maestra inigualable, nunca ha habido un juego tan profundo, tan inquietante y tan visceralmente atractivo como The Last of Us Part II antes y tal vez nunca haya otro como este. Cuando cerré el juego, pensando en las cosas que había visto y las cosas que había hecho, quizás nunca debería haber otra como esta. No estoy seguro de estar preparado para lo que vendrá después.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow is this game something else. I am writing this review about 24 hours after finishing the game and I am still unsure as to how I should be feeling about this, the ending specifically. The game opens a short amount of time after the events of the first, and we play as Joel whilst the opening credits roll. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson continue their outstanding performances from the first game in the scenes they share together at the start, and throughout the rest of the game.

    I had seen the leaks before beginning my play through and like everyone else, I only felt anger towards this game, but it must, must be played. Those scenes were truly out of context and it is crucial you play through the whole game before hating. You MUST play this, you cannot judge this based on seeing someone else's gameplay, you must play this for yourself.

    Spoilers from here:

    This game breaks my heart - entirely. It is brutal, and I'm still an emotional wreck. Joel saves a new character, Abby, before he is then brutally tortured and murdered by her and her friends, in front of Ellie when she arrives. This creates a lot of anger towards this character, and also confusion. It's difficult to believe after the first game that Joel trusts a stranger, and goes back to their place, instead of going to a secure city roughly the same distance away. So yeah, wasn't exactly pleased with how they killed Joel.

    Throughout the rest of the game, you get flashbacks with Joel, each one just had me see an innocent, great, old guy (very much not innocent), that just made me cry and realise the harshness of his death. When the game makes you play as Abby for hours on end, I wanted to put it down. At this stage, I stopped looking for collectables and just wanted to get back to Ellie. Surprisingly though, I did get somewhat intrigued by Abby's story, and start to feel some sort of care for the character, despite still wanting her dead for what she did to Joel.

    It's the ending that really conflicts me. Abby gets to leave, losing nothing more than Ellie, whilst Ellie loses all of her relationships that mattered to her, and 2 of her fingers, breaking the bridge between her and Joel after his death. She can no longer play the guitar, and it breaks my heart.

    The gameplay, AI, visuals etc are all on another level, and that is where The Last of Us Part II really shines. It is the most stunning game of this generation and is worth it just from the "game" perspective, ignoring your thoughts on the story.

    Overall, I think The Last of Us Part II is a sequel we didn't need, but it's a game that will have an everlasting impact on me. I cannot stop thinking about what this game does, and how it has me so so upset for both Joel and Ellie. It's for that reason, combined with the gameplay I have given this a 10/10 - no other game has ever had me feel like this, and it's an experience you must go through. I will admit that if I could though, I would more accurately rate Part 2 with a 9.8/10 whilst Part 1 would win a 10/10. Part 1 has the better story for me, but Part 2 has everything perfect that a game needs – there are just some decisions with the story that I am not sure I agree with.

    I do prefer the story of the 1st game, and I wish the story could have unfolded differently in this sequel, as in the end the only thing we saw Joel and Ellie actually gain from all this was nothing. They just lost people, themselves, and parts of themselves. I really wish this could have taken a different route, but I can't say this is a bad or mediocre game, it is technically still a masterpiece, I just wish things went differently. That's what's so clever though, the world is cruel and this is a game that makes you realise that.

    I just ask that Naughty Dog clarify the ending (what happened with Dina etc), and maybe make a 3rd game somehow revealing that Joel isn't dead, and a cure is found, allowing for Joel and Ellie to clear out groups of infected and live a life in the normal world as Joel knew it with Sarah. Or, the more likely scenario, is a DLC similar to Left Behind is released, just giving us a lot of time with Joel and Ellie in Jackson similar to the flashbacks we got. I'd just be happy if the whole DLC was 4 hours of cutscenes between the 2 and other characters like Dina and Jesse. Wow has this game moved me. I can't stop thinking about it.

    UPDATE: It has been 2 weeks since my first playthrough and having thought about this game more, it is slowly getting onto the same level as Part 1 for me and it is certainly a game that has to be played. It is a shame most of the user reviews on here are from people who haven’t even given the game a chance and are judging it based on 1 scene, or “experience” they have watching it on YouTube. It HAS to be played.

    Is a really good game and an excellent precuel of the first game. Its not as good as the first, but it a masterpiece, and because there are gay characters its not a reason for hating the game.

    Recién lo termine, es un juego muy bueno en cuanto gameplay, gráficas y banda Sonora... En cuanto a la historia es donde flaquea debido a cómo es contada, es inferior en comparación al juego original pero es normal ya que la primer parte dejó el listón muy alto. Solo aquellas personas que disfrutaron la parte 1 podrían calificar justamente este titulo (en mi opinión).

    TLOU2... where do I even begin.
    The experience of playing... no watching TLOU2 is on par with being forced to **** your wife in the ass, but the catch is she decided to never wipe again. it's like being forced to watch a women **** a dog in a porno and then write a 10/10 review for it because if you didnt you'd starve. swallowing Lester's ball sweat is far more enjoyable than watching this    TLOU2... where do I even begin.

It feels like making every wrong decision, but there was always a glimmer of hope that you'd finally make a right decision and everything would be okay. But that never happens. Playing TLOU2 is like having that one friend you always picked for everything in class. But then one day they decide to pick someone else and you're stuck with the girl who constantly hisses at everyone and talks about wanting to be a wolf. 10/10 would recommend    … Expand

    The gameplay formula from the first game is much improved and the new mechanics, even if they seem simple, add a lot especially for stealth.Some sections from the second half of the game are peak survival-horror experiences.

    The visuals are out of this world and envoirments are huge with an insane attention to details.Every few minutes I had to stop and take the view in, not to mention how every place is packed with notes/items that tell stories of the people who once lived there.


    I was initially dissapointed with the story after reading all the leaks and the ending and even considered cancelling my preorder, but I couldn't because I pre-downloaded it, so I went into it expecting a great game with a terrible story.I was very, very wrong.Once I saw how everything unfolds I was blown away, the story is great, characters are extremly well written and even the ending, wich to me seemed irredeemable, turned out to be amazing.I'm never trusting leaks ever again, I can't believe I almost didn't play this.


    To me this is a masterpiece that surpasses the first game in every aspect, and it's without a shadow of a doubt my game of the generation.    … Expand

    Oh boy, what a way to say goodbye to the PS4 generation. Long story short, TLOU2 is a nearly perfect game and one of the best narrative-driven games I've ever played (and I've played a lot).

Long story short, TLOU2 is a nearly perfect game and one of the best narrative-driven games I've ever played (and I've played a lot). The gaming community needs more stories like this. Brave, moving and profound. TLOU2 doesn't pander to their audience. This game is not made to please its audience at the expense of the message it's trying to convey, quite the opposite, which really sets it apart from a vast amount of games out there.

    Leaving the plot and message aside, this game is more than a worthy sequel to the original TLOU. Technically, it's better in every aspect you could imagine: stunning graphics, probably the best we'll ever get to see on current hardware, beautiful scenery and fantastic level design which opens up so many different possibilities for you to solve the situations you encounter. It's also longer than the original, and I mean that in the best possible way. TLOU2 is remarkably generous. It's packed full of diverse content and unique scenarios which are overflowing with detail.

    If I had to critique one thing I'd say Naughty Dog were a bit lazy with the character progression mechanism. In TLOU2, pills to unlock new character skills and nuts and bolts to upgrade our weapons make a reappearance, which is a bit out of place in such a grounded game where absolutely every single other mechanic and items we use has a purpose and fits perfectly into the world we're playing in and the story the came is unravelling before us.

    I will say no more as I could write pages upon pages about the virtues of this game. If you're looking for a bold, adult, thought-provoking story complemented with solid gameplay and you happen to own a PS4, I cannot recommend this game enough. And if you don't own a PS4, this game is definitely worth the purchase!    … Expand

    Si algo no me esperaba de esta entrega, es que pudiera superar en todo a la primera, con lo alto que había dejado el listón, simplemente increíble. En cuanto a narrativa, es sin duda el mejor juego de la generación, la vuelta de tuerca que le han dado a la historia es una pasada, sorprendente de principio a fin y la jugabilidad es como la del primero pero mejorada en todos los apartados.Si algo no me esperaba de esta entrega, es que pudiera superar en todo a la primera, con lo alto que había dejado el listón, simplemente increíble.

Para mi, lo más flojo de la primera parte era el gunplay, muy parecido a uncharted, en esta segunda parte ha mejorado muchísimo, se siente el peso de las armas, y el sigilo es muy satisfactorio.

    The greatest story ever told in a video game. Thematically and emotionally powerful, the narrative of this sequel alone is enough to warrant a near perfect score, but the gameplay bangs too so a 10/10 it is.

    Probably closer to a 8.5 or 9 but these 0-3s are outright biased BS so I’m doing my part to move it back to a fair score. The games solid, playable, fun, and has an interesting story. At least play it before you give it a 0/10. Please grow up

    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]
