    I couldn’t wait to have my hands on this game after playing the first one, I did not expect for Naught Dog to do what they did, I was so pissed off and annoyed but I had to play it to the end no matter what.

    The ending made me think this whole game made me think which games should do! I agree with the ending unlike most, this game has hidden meaning to it some get it at first like I did

    10/10 amazing game can’t wait to play it again well worth the wait. I just hope they don’t make another one as everything is complete at this point, unless it’s a DLC but to be honest I’ll play anything to do with The Last of Us lol

Months later I decided to play the game and form my own opinion. I thought it was great. I actually really enjoyed the games unorthodox story structure. The gameplay was top notch in my opinion. It was brutal and scrappy and when it flows it feels great. Expand

    With an enthralling story, complex characters, interesting gameplay and gorgeous visuals and audio, The Last of Us Part II is probably one of the most polished videogame experiences out there and it’s pretty easy to give it a great score and call it a day. But honestly, thanks to the intense pace, mature subject matter and stressful situations, it may not be for everyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterpiece. You complain so much because Joel is dead. If he stayed alive and Dina died, the story wouldn't make sense. I am still shocked by Joel's death, but I think it fits because the story has become very interesting. The graphics are majestic, the enemies are very realistic. There is also a fearful minutia. The characters are charismatic except Mel who is the only character I didn't like because, in my opinion, she is useless. Neil Druckmann is a genius, one of the best authors in the gaming world along with Kojima.
    P.S. TLOU2 is not a story of revenge, but it is a story based on Joel's FORGIVENESS. Besides Joel's forgiveness, Ellie has lost everything. Like Dina with her son JJ because of Ellie's decision, her mother's screen knife and fingers, now she can no longer play the guitar given by Joel. This is for people who haven't understood anything about the game. ;-p
    P.P.S. If Ellie had killed Abby, the story wouldn't have made sense.
    P.P.P.S. I played it on day one.

Some of characters dies too suddenly. Music as good as can be. I also didn't understand the ending when Elly let Abby to go. As for me it was too taut and vague. Of course it was made to continue story but c'mon. Also want to say that without lgbt propaganda the game can be much better because transgender kid - the last thing I want to see in serious story. But at all game is very good. Highly recommended to play immediately Expand

    It looks like a lot of players can not appreciate the story in this game. For me it feels like 2 games merged together and loosing my character progress halfway the game. Maybe the game is a bit slow or too long but I enjoyed every moment of it.

    Excellent graphics on PS4 pro, smooth animations and transitions of music. Different play styles possible.

    У игры достаточно противоречивый сюжет, не для всех. Но, сюжет показывает, что такое месть и что она делает с людьми. Один хороший поступок порождает другие хорошие поступки, а насилие порождает лишь еще большее насилие и ненависть. Многих затронул факт смерти Джоэла, но это не игра про супергероев в латексе, а игра про выживание. Игра стоит своих денег и вашего внимания.У игры достаточно противоречивый сюжет, не для всех.

    Comentario sano y sin spoilers*

    Hablar de TLoU2, tiene para rato; pues no estamos hablando de un juego típico del mercado, sino de uno donde deja atrás los estereotipos y los clichés que las empresas recurren para que el público sea mas amplio y se identifiquen. Naughty Dog sabía de las consecuencias de esta arriesgada decisión, hacer un juego donde tenga tanta libertad creativa del director y el guionista, tendría que repercutir en el pensar de una comunidad con una mentalidad, desgraciadamente, tan desfasada como la que tiene el mundo de los videojuegos.

    Tlou2 destaca en cada aspecto por el cual se mide la calidad de un título: grandísimo soundtrack; un gameplay pulido donde cada animación se ve completamente natural: unos efectos de sonido de calidad; actuación de voz y de movimiento, impecable. Y aquí es donde se entra al punto polémico, la historia.

    Yo soy un jugador de Final Fantasy, una saga que se le reconoce por sus grandísimas historias tan bien logradas narrativamente; no obstante, los títulos más queridos (VI, VII, IX y X), carecen de un aspecto que TLoU2 logró impresionantemente, la ambigüedad; no hay personajes buenos ni malos, todos los personajes tienen un desarrollo increíble emocionalmente, todo esto se refleja en sus acciones. Llegas a un punto donde no sabes si estas haciendo lo correcto, no sabes ni siquiera que es lo "correcto" en esa situación. Es por esa ambigüedad que, irónicamente, dividió a los jugadores; un gran sector conservador de las historias típicas fueron los que no pudieron apreciar este título.

    En conclusión, es un grandioso título MUY adelantado a su época para la comunidad de videojugadores, no tengo duda en que en un futuro se le reconocerá aún más. La comunidad de cine sabe apreciar las buenas historias fuera de los estereotipos, espero que ese contexto llegue pronto a nuestra comunidad.

    For now I finished it only 1 time, but I bought it only on 21st of January, and I’m going to try to get plat in it.

    So, I started to play this game, and when I saw Joel dying I was really frightened, than crying Ellie, and than she took his watch with revolver and that just killed me. Until the next day I was thinking only about TLOU2. When I finished the game I was disappointed for a while. Why hasn’t Ellie killed her? But than I realised that Ellie realised that she became a monster. After a few days I realised that Neil Druckmann is genius! I surely recommend you to finish this game

    Incredible journey of a game. Emotional, painful, spectacular. I couldn't bear it at times and yet I couldn't turn away. It haunts me months later, and I can't wait to play again (just have to get over my first run through ;)).The developers should be proud that bigots hate it--it always means you're doing something right.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m unsure why people are so enraged by this game. I get that we all have different opinions of a game but I thought this game was just as good, and better as the first on all components. I refused to look at the spoilers, I heard about the leaks but no details, I predicted Joel’s death from the beginning but not how he died, but was unbothered with how he died. He became a softer man now having his pseudo-daughter back, more trusting because of the safety of family. Why wouldn’t he help someone when that is what Jackson was doing for the past four years. The one thing I understand is the story telling complaint... however I am still in love with the story. I watched a review video that explaining well, it seems as though when you fight Ellie as Abby that the climax most literally drops off and flattens out. Then up and down up and down after that. Yes that is not a traditional story arc, but I am not annoyed by that. My opinion is that while yes while you play as Abby, there really isn’t any climactic mission like Ellie, but the idea that Abby has absolutely no idea Ellie is out there after her. For me that is an interesting story line, again though not perfect, I still enjoyed it. Everyone’s opinion is different, but I simply do it understand the intense hatred of this game. I love it still. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 is a great game. The story is memorable and different, the new characters and groups are interesting and Ellie's character is well developed through her relationships with Dina and Joel. The combat and graphics have also improved massively from the previous game. I can understand legitimate complaints such as the amount of time you have to play as Abby or that the ending is a bit of an anti-climax I do agree that the final fight between Ellie and Abby does originally leave you feeling robbed but the final scenes of Ellie and Joel are incredibly emotional which does make up for it. However its irritating to see that the majority of the negative reviews on the game are either just people making thinly veiled attempts to hide the fact they didn't like the game because their favorite character died or people complaining about 'SJW bs being rubbed in their face' which is really just code for 'wOmEn AnD LGBTQ+ pEoPlE bAd'. Overall its a great game and well worth the 25 hours of game time. Expand

    The story is fantastic, in spite of what you likely have heard. The main reason I give it a 9/10 is that certain aspects of the gameplay loop feel dated (loot, scavenge, craft, repeat). However, the gameplay is still a lot of fun and the mechanics are greatly improved over the original. Give this game a try, don't listen to triggered little gamer review bombers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So ill start the review by saying my official rating for the game is 7/10, now why does it say 10/10 then. Honestly I am doing it to even out the bombing that happend at the release of this game for when people were jumping on the train and hating on this game before it even was released and writing negative reviews despite having painstakingly obviously not played the game or atleast even come close to finishing it.

    The game is not perfect in anyway in terms of story, it has more ploteholes / plotarmor than the first game, but for people saying its only a LGBTQ agenda being pushed I assume you have never played the game, and its a disrespect to the animation, gameplay and art/music team. All of whom have outdone themself, its handsdown the best looking game on the current console only next to RDR2. The animations are perfect, infact never done better. Every hit feels inpactful, the facial masking in cutscenes are flawless it makes it fun to appriciate even if just for face-value, even if you did give the story a 0/10.
    The music (when playing, lacked abit more music) was perfect, better than the first game, despite it doing a good job there aswell.

    Now what drags it down some points from me, if gameplay, music, and animations imo are all perfect, its the story. Yes the story, the story that everyone so much hated and some still hate (alot of which have not played the game, and takes people's word for it).

    I am not saying you are wrong, in not liking this game's story, we all have our opinion, and I personally think it did a worse job than the first game. That being said its not a 0/10, its more a 5/10, if you think of it critically and not from a bias of how you feel about the characters after having played the first game. The main issue i have with the story is not where it went, but rather how unbelievable the motivation and actions of some characters are.

    Example 1: Tommy despite being much like Joel in how he treats strangers with informationm gives up both his and his brother's name to a group of people he dont know anything about who have them in a small room outnumbered 10:2 (ish).

    Example 2: Tommy leaving before Ellie despite being the one trying to make her stay, and even if he was talking through his wife it still makes no sense for him to leave before Ellie rather than coming with her, as he knew she was going with or without him, this only puts both at risk and lowers the chances of succsess.

    Example 3: Ellie despite having life handed to her on a silver platter (when living on the farm), tho dealing with PTSD dont have believable motivation to go back after Abby after having been hammered by "revenge bad x10000 times" so far at that point in the story.

    Example 4: Tommy coming back to Ellie's home and reigniting the lead to Abby despite being the one who tried to talk her out of going in the first place. Now that he knows it would be better for Ellie to stay and work things out he takes a complete 180 and guilts her into going because he is hurt and cant do it himself.

    Example 5: Dina acts like she is a woman who have been widowed multiple times before, when Ellie leaves the second time and leaves her no home to return. I get trying to stop her from going (her going already makes no sense), but why let her not have a home when returning, I thought it would be an empty threat as then it would've made sense.

    Plot holes although many, I can ignore to an extent if it results in a overall good story, but what really got me despite it being a powerfull ending was how pointless it all felt.
    The entire game has hammered "revenge bad, but doing it anyway" to a point where you just stop caring as Ellie has already saccrifcied everything twice over when going after Abby the second time, but only then does she decide not to kill her. I get why she stops, but holy hell, how many times did this story beat your head with revenge bad, for only the end of the game stop with Ellie being left with nothing and all characters dying for nothing. Its a powerfull story, but not a likeable one.

    I wanne sign the review of by saying, despite the story getting worse the more you overthink it,
    it is in my opinion the best way a game has ever told a story, despite it not being the best.

    From how seemless gameplay cuts into cutscenes to facial animation and voice acting being done perfectly it makes it so immersive that it makes you carefully follow the whole story, and really engages you in the characters and their actions especially Ellie, so even if the story is mediocre it feels like a rollercoaster when experiencing it, and for that I would say its a mustplay, atleast until Naughtydog releases another game like it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 is a game that beautiful portraits the cycle of hatred and forgiving the unforgivable. When you boot it up and play as Ellie for the first 12 hours you are in the same boat as her, blinded by rage and excuse the careless actions which only result in the constant threat of death, not only to you but to your companions also. But then you switch over to Abby and at first your not open to her but when you realize that she’s haunted by her actions against Joel, when she starts loosing these people we mowed down as Ellie, then you start to sympathize with her and get caught in these peoples problems. people are mad at this game but don’t know why they’re mad, obviously people we’re attached to Joel and killing him off was a really strong introduction to this game, and really that’s the only reason, when they complain about the story being messy it’s a pain to listen to because you clearly didn’t get the intentions of the game. Abby is the Joel in her last of us story, if you were to play last of us 1 as Abby and her dad only to have that ripped from you with the death of Abbys dad, then you would’ve wanted revenge on the crazy old man who came and took that from you. This is a stunning narrative which focuses on redemption, falling into darkness and feeling hatred for someone just to break out of the cycle, through the realization that these actions will not bring them back. “Revenge is a luxury we cannot afford”, revenge is the reason Ellie lost Jesse, Her fingers, And almost lost Dina all ending up to Ellie loosing herself, Revenge is the reason Abby lost her friends, because in the world that is the last of us, one hateful act births another. 10/10 Expand

    Well this game got a lot of backlash didn't it?

    First off, the game is better in most ways then the first 1. The graphics look great, the gameplay is fun and better and you can explore more then in the first game (there are more types of zombies than in the first). But, I did like the first game more though and that is because the story is just better. I didn't like the direction

But, I did like the first game more though and that is because the story is just better.

    I didn't like the direction they went with the story (mostly predictable). But it is a direction you can go. In the last few hours of the game you're exhausted because of it and hope it can just be over already. It's got some forced political agenda in it, but it's not that bad as most claim. Think they handled it (LGBTQ part) pretty well.

    Without going in too many details its not a game I would replay and I don't think it has good replay value. I think they focused too much about bringing out an idea (besides the political agenda) and focused to few on making the game fun to play, which is what I'd and I think most look for in a game.

    All with all it is definitely not the best game I've ever played, don't think it would be in my top 10 tbf. But it's worth a try even though its quite different compared to the first one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En pocas palabras, el juego es increíble. No me malentiendan, tiene sus puntos negativos como la introducción a fuerza de un personaje que simplemente no empatiza con un público que ama y está acostumbrado a Joel o el obvio final que no parece digno para un hombre que paso por encima de medio país. Sin embargo, el juego tiene un significado profundo, y nos presenta un reflejo de la misma historia entre Joel y Ellie pero esta vez interpretada por Abby y la niña, personajes que como dije, parecen estar siendo introducidos a la fuerza, transmitiendo a los jugadores un sentimiento de desesperación por querer volver a ayudar a Ellie en su venganza. Eso en cuanto a historia, en aspectos técnicos, el juego es una obra maestra. El gameplay es fluido y permite al jugador un movimiento más como un RPG Open world que como un juego lineal. Gráficamente el juego se ve increíble y muestra el trabajo y cariño del estudio desarrollador. Cada detalle parece estar pulido y lleva al máximo de trabajo a nuestra consola. En conclusión, es un juego que deberás probar por ti mismo para poder tener la verdadera experiencia The Last of Us Part II. Expand

    Love the game. First game maybe tiny bit better as it was more positive. I am glad Naughty dog didn't play it safe and made lots of controversial decisions. It looks like you can only love or hate the game, nothing in between.

Mi critica a este juegazo lanzado el año pasado tratara de ser lo mas precisa posible, es un gran videojuego, tiene una gran jugabilidad, una increíble narrativa, que logra producir una emoción y un sentimiento cuando estamos jugando con el personaje, para mi no alcanza el 10 de 10, por el hecho de que se desasieron demasiado rápido de Joel, siendo que fue el personaje principal en el primer videojuego, pienso que tanto el publico como yo, teníamos una conexión con ese personaje, y ver que desaparecía de una manera tan impulsiva dejo que desear, si bien se uso para darle sentido a la historia de venganza de Ellie, pudo haber dado mucho mas de lo que dio, pero bueno, no solo por eso, el juego será malo, me sorprendió el tiempo que duro y que toda la historia, tanto de Elli, como Abby tu vieran tanta coherencia, sin lugar a dudad la compañía saco a lucir todo su talento en esta entrega y ya quiero ver con que otra sorpresa vendrán a futuro.

    However, this game is not for everybody, it is an emotionally-taxing, violent, graphic and raw experience. The game will probably make you uncomfortable, it will force you to challenge your prejudices and to imagine others complexly.
    If you're someone who has trouble empathizing with others, or giving credit to other's feelings, or challenging your perspective, you will not enjoy this game.
    There is so much value here, though, so much humanity and so much craft that I had to come here to say it. If you can have this experience with an open heart you will come out richer, and hopefully kinder.

    In my interpretation, I think the second game is to show us the complexity of life and humanity. It strongly shows the us vs them mentality as well.

Even though we’re shown how human each side (Abby’s group vs Ellie’s group) can be and how they have loved ones/friends of their own and their goal is to survive just like everybody else, we see how these groups still violently clash with one another. It’s easy to paint the other side as the bad guys and so you fight against them, perpetuating the cycle of revenge and violence.

    The game is also about the parallels of Abby and Ellie’s story and how they experience loss and revenge. They both have lost their father/father figure, lost their friends, and experienced so much just for revenge. They really aren’t that different from one another. In the end, it was all meaningless because they’ve tired themselves out and have already accepted their fate, no longer wanting to kill the other— hence: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”

    Lastly, I think the game is called The Last of Us because it is what’s left after all is said and done that makes us— well... us really. The game serves as a grim reminder that our actions have consequences, but it also reminds us that every character has a story/life of their own. This ties back into the complexity of life and humanity— we all have our own stories and motivations that make us who we are and determines who we may become. It is because of Joel’s actions which caused Abby to go after him in the first place. And we see in the second game how the desire for revenge causes Abby and Ellie to go against one another until they’ve lost nearly everything. The second game was never meant to have a happy ending. It’s supposed to make you uncomfortable and leave you feeling numb/empty afterwards, in order to show the grim reality of the world we live in.

Cognitive dissonance is felt throughout and for good reason.
    The developers should be lauded for breaking new ground; not pilloried because it didn't fit your vanilla preconcieved notion which effectively amounted to a clone of TLOU.
    If you're closed-minded, petty or immature, this game probably isn't for you - stick to Zelda. This game is a classic; but like most classics, it has polarised it's fanbase; some of whom are too caught up in fanboy culture to understand or appreciate greatness.
