    Me ha parecido un juego con un gameplay y un apartado técnico impecable. En cuanto a la narrativa, considero que está correctamente ejecutada.

En cuanto a la narrativa, considero que está correctamente ejecutada. Podrían haberlo hecho mejor ya que hay puntos en la trama que no están bien desarrollados o implementados, e incluso hay partes que se sienten alargadas o que no aportan nada importante, pero el cómputo general de la historia me ha parecido muy bueno, tal vez no al nivel del primer juego, pero no por eso me parece malo. Es un gran juego y hay que saber leer entre lineas su guión, que es complejo, y veo que mucha gente solo se ha quedado con la capa superficial. Como he dicho, hay cosas en la historia que no están bien definidas, pero no considero que sean fallas graves. A nivel de gameplay es lo mismo que vimos en el primer juego pero más pulido, no inventa la rueda pero funciona de maravilla. Los escenarios son más abiertos en algunos tramos y da un punto interesante a la exploración y el crafteo, habiendo por supuesto otros de mayor linealidad, el diseño de estos escenarios son muy buenos, aunque a veces son algo caóticos, aunque supongo que es algo hecho a posta puesto que estamos ante escenarios post-apocalípticos.

    Un gran juego, a nivel personal me gustó más el primero, pero este mantiene el nivel.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II remains a controversial game, despite its great gameplay mechanics. It is not possible to please all audiences. In my opinion, the story has many well-written characters. Naughty Dog breaks conventions and shifted the story to a more darker tune.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is a very polarizing game, with different narrative threads weaving together to make a complete story.

    This game does an amazing job at showing how ones actions can have a huge impact on not just themselves but others around them. You can literally rename this game "The consequences of Joel Miller". All the major plot points in this game happen because of Joel decisions in the first game.

    First let's talk about game play. It is leagues beyond the first game having very smooth animation and pretty good AI. In this game you would generally have 3 different play styles depending on who you are fighting. The WFL, The Seraphites, or The Infected. Also playing as the quick and agile Ellie makes it easier to sneak around. Then playing as the brutish Abby makes head on attacks a lot easier. Along with the gun upgrades and character progression trees, you have so much customization. This game is refined to the extreme.

    Graphics/Art: This is one of the best looking games this generation. If not the best looking game to come out in this era. ND jammed packed this world with some much life and detail. Playing in the forest area of this game really made it seem next gen. The character designs and the art are out of this world as well. I noticed especially with the infected. The first Clicker I saw looked much more violent and deadly.

    Music: Once again the Last of Us music is phenomenal the games soundtrack plays on every scene so well. Even outside cut scenes the music while exploring fits the tone of each environment you are in. 0 complaints from me.

    Story: Let me just say this. This games story is beyond the first game. Let's get the elephant out the room; Joel's death. It makes perfect sense that Joel dies this way. Without even knowing the rest of the game his death in my eyes was done perfectly. Joel is not the good guy and never has been. Many in the in-game universe would describe him as a monster. Tess said "Joel we are not good people", Tommy hates those years surviving with Joel because they did terrible things. Joel has killed many innocence and has destroyed many of families. He has tortured and beaten so many people. Eventually that would catch up to him. Abby asked Joel "To guess who they were". Joel has crossed so many people he cannot even make an educated guess to who is coming after him. I love Joel but I can see he is not a good person and is flawed. He got the death he gave so many himself. Also it is perfectly in Joel character to save Abby. He has been in Jackson for 4 years and their main objective is to protect the people in their community and also expand it. They have saved brought people in numerous times over the 4 years. And that is explained within the first 3 to 4 hours of the game.

    Now while following Ellie we get to see her get revenge on those who wronged her. While playing as her you feel her rage and you want her to kill everyone that hurts Joel. But something that was not expected was Ellie slowly starting to break down because of what she is doing. Nora, Mel and Owen are great examples of Ellie not having the stomach to do what she thinks she needs to do. Ellie part of the game is emotional and you believe in her the entire time. Also getting to see how Joel progressed through flashbacks was amazing. We get to see how soft and tender he became over the years. Really well done story telling.

    Now in my opinion the best part of the game. Playing as Abby. When I first started playing as Abby I knew what ND was doing. And I was rolling my eyes because there was just no way I would side with Abby. But as her story continues and you see it play out. You began to realize that Abby has more compassion than Ellie or Joel. Many times she could have killed them all but she never wanted to end up like her biggest monster "Joel". She even runs parallel to Joel in the first game. While he found solace in Ellie, Abby found solace in Lev. By the end of the game I wanted Abby to win. Because she gave chance after chance to people who really did not deserve it.

    Overall do not look at anyone in this game as good or bad. There is no black and white. Only shades of grey. Although I liked Abby in the end, she is still a bad and terrible person. Joel is still my favorite character but he is a monster.

    Go into this game with an open mind and let ND take you on an adventure.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the very start of this game i enjoyed it, the game is dark, gritty and very emotional. Joel's death hits like a truck and throughout the game you can sense the loss in Eliie. Ellie's thirst for revenge it something you can get behind, well, for people who played the first game. And as the story unravels and you learn of Abby's reasoning you can start to understand her reasoning. As for the technical parts of the game, the graphics are top notch, the combat feels like an improved version of TLOU1, which i loved. The music in this game will give you serious nostalgia for the first game and some of the songs in it will get you emotional and in some cases, may even make you shed a few tears. one thing i wasn't keen on was Abby's section, especially after what she had done to Joel but i think that was intentional. All in all this is a great game that is deserving of all the praise (and some of the critiques) but not deserving of all the review bombs from people who claim to hate the ending even on day 1 of release. No game is perfect and all have their flaws but this to me is one of the closest you can get to an actual 10/10 so that is the score i will give it. All of this comes from someone that has played and platinumed the game.… Expand

    What a Hell of a ride. One of the most well craftet games there is. I do think it lacks in some parts but that did not bother me all that much personaly. No matter what you think about the story and how it played out, it obviously triggert a lot of emotions, and that is something only very few games can achieve. Form your own opinion about it.

    A near perfect game that suprised me a few times. Gameplay ist way better than in part 1. The story at first feels a bit minimalistic but soon turns into an exciting line of events. There ist no reason to rate this masterpiece lower then 7 or 8. Any rating lower then 7 should try play call of duty or fortnite. Its a game for "mature" players. Only God of War is compareable

This game breaks storytelling boundaries as the first one did, although it forgoes the simplicity of the first game. The story feels like a eloquently written T.V Show, with an episodic structure. Moreover, The Last of Us Part II is by far Naughty Dog’s largest game, in length and scope, spanning over 30 hours for my first play through. The game feels very well paced, albeit for the slightly prolonged ending, however, this does not detract from the true experience of the game. Additionally the gameplay system is very well done, with great feeling weapons, survival-horror like set pieces, that match the likes of the resident evil series, and calm, drawn out sequences that usher in a calm yet terrified feeling for the games many twists and turns are very tough to detect. Naughty Dog, has also gone absolutely above and beyond in their graphical fidelity of the game as well as animations. This game is by far the best looking game of the generation, with absolutely crisp visuals on both the standard PS4 and PS4 Pro, from the way water slowly darkens and muddles Ellies bags and clothes, to how naturally Ellie would react to her environment by sliding when she goes prone on a smooth surface, or put her hand against a shelf as she walks past it. Least but not least in the gameplay, is the gruesome melee combat, and although the dodge button adds quite a bit of variety to the melee systems, the melee combat system is very reminiscent of the first game, although in a good way. Each strike upon you or your enemies feels impactful, and heavy, from Ellies slashes of her switchblade, to the thundering thump of a pickaxe, melee combat never gets old with immense graphical detail from how blood splatters depending on where Ellie hits, to how dynamic your dodging feels. Overall this game stands up tall near the first game, for it offers a completely different story, that is much more haunting and revenge focused than the first one, however was a necessary evolution in Ellie and Joels relationship. I would also like to add that from viewing the leaks after completing the game, it seems possible as to why people were mad at the game, however the way Naughty Dog is able to piece the moments together turn out to be far greater than how the leaks portrayed the game. I would definitively recommend this game whether or not you have been previously spoiled.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most people hate the game because they killed a main character and that's just life. Imagine a post apocalyptic world that has gone to hell for years now, you'll do anything to survive. Joels death isn't undignifying, it's a death. Everybody's fighting to survive and will do anything to do so. This is just a game trying to be real, not fun. GOT finale killed the main main character and that made sense, same as Joel, he tried to save a girl, the girl wanted to kill him, they were running from a horde and had nowhere to go. Feels like everyone is butthurt because undignifying deaths for big characters but this is a game trying to be real. That's why you have both perspectives in the story. Everything is a moral grey area, characters aren't good or evil, they're just human. They don't care you've liked a character for X hours of gameplay, characters just see a threat and won't event think of giving a "good death" to someone who ruined their life. Everything about the game is great, graphics, gameplay, acting. Also everyone complains about not being enough Joel in the game but everyone keep forgetting it's a sequel and not a standalone game. We've had a complete game to see Joel' and Ellie's relationship. Both Abby and Ellie do terrible things for different proposes, but each one is right in it's own way. A lot of people complain about being forced to play as Abby and that's the point of it. You're Ellie and you're killing dogs and people to find who killed Joel but she doesn't know what life is to this characters, until Abby's story. It gives you a bitter taste of everything Ellie has done through the first 10 hours of the game. It's a distopya where everyone is selfish and searching for the best for them. There's no hero to our story, we're just screwed up people trying to get by. Maybe some play games to feel good and joyful and that's why games like Mario exist. This is trying to reflect society and how the moral of humanity has changed because of how badly the world is doing. We don't play TLOU2 to be a hero, we play it to be a person. Maybe the first part seemed to be a hero story but in the end you just see everyone is flawed and selfish at some point. Joel sacrificed the entire human race for Ellie, and of course this had to have consequences. They live in a world where making a mistake will most certainly kill you. That's why you don't run through a door, let anyone live... But we're human, most characters experience happiness throughout the story because that's just what life is, ups and downs. You'll have to kill dogs, women, families to get by, but that never will mean you can't have a laugh in the middle of the storm. There'll always be a human part that feels empathy and compassion, that believes humanity might not be so bad after all, and that's why they let people go. No character has a strong enough morality to always be doing the right thing, everyone tries to protect what matters to them, no matter what. Aside from this, the agenda argument is just stupid. Being gay isn't a character defying trait. We were introduced to Ellie being gay on the dlc. No trans characters unnecessarily placed on the story. Most people started talking badly about the game after Joel's death but it's nonsensical to expect everything going right in this world we've seen our characters live in. Honestly a whole game revolving around fan service would just be boring to play. Everything expected just happens, but that's why we loved the first one, it totally ignores the hero trope and shows us a real Joel, doing wrong things for his loved ones, ignoring the cost of it. With all of this said, I've found the last cutscenes to be really ambiguous and not conclusive in anyway, the main revenge plot concluded, but Ellie's life just ends up as a mystery. Not really angry about it, but I would have liked to get a more concise conclusion to Ellie's life, not just her revenge story. Leaks ruined most of the game, but I can say it's definitely worth playing and experiencing it for yourself. It won't be wasted money in any way… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a piece of art. And art is not supposed to make you feel comfortable. It is supposed to have a message that is worthwhile telling. This game is a masterpiece. I say that as a fan and as a trained peace mediator. The game deals with the circle of violence and shows an realistic picture of how grief, PTSD and empathy work. It delivers a message, I always graved for people to hear. And it delivers it in a way, that is so powerful. The fact that so many people complain about it shows that it was necessary to make it. A lot of important art got a lot of backlash at the time. I believe that the haters are on the wrong side of history here.
    I was horrified, when Joel died. But I was also proud, that Naughty Dog hat the courage to do it. I am so disappointed with a lot of Pop culture that are afraid to take a bold step like that. And in my opinion, it was the only logical thing to do. If they spared him, their message would have lost its impact and it would have resulted in a mediocre story and a big case of whateverism. If they went for fan service, I would forget it in a year. But now, I will always remember it. This game triggered so many different feelings in me and just hit the mark completely. I don't think, I can describe the value it had for me. Every second of it was perfect.
    Thank you Neil and Naughty Dog for creating a game, that was not just fun but also had artistic value like no other!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Regarding the story, it seems good to me that a dramatic and dark turn has been made, since the same game means that there are neither good nor bad, that the only thing that can be found in the last of us part 2 are points of view and thoughts different from those of the protagonists, do not lie, it hurt me that Joel's death was so fast, but outside of that, the game is really fine, it has a deeper narrative and even the songs that are played in the trailers and in the game they have to do partly for the same story, an example would be true faith, which basically says that ellie's revenge is like a drug, a drug that makes you crazy, and around the game you can to see how Ellie little by little is destroying herself inside and out until she is left alone because of revenge as dyna abandons her and because of Ellie many die.
    Regarding the End, it bothered me a little that ellie did not kill abby, but after a few minutes I understood that with that final flashback of joel, ellie realized that even if she kills abby, joel would not return and everything would be the same and the cycle of Vengeance would not end, what ellie does in the End is to act with the head and in the most human way possible, it is at that moment in which there is an explosion of emotions, I feel that this game was made for a more mature perspective and dark, a story that does not focus on the typical, for me the end, as sour as it may be, has seemed to me a good closure for the story of ellie, I know that many do not like the game and directly classify it as rubbish, but really the game is something that we are not used to, and for that reason and its history or gameplay, etc., at least for me it is a good game    … Expand

Much of this games controversy comes from a moment that happens early on, and whilst many may feel angry or confused with the devs decision, please carry on playing as all the questions you may have are answered perfectly through the course of the game. I am so glad that developers Naughty Dog chose not to play it safe and rehash the story from the first game and instead tell a story that they wanted to tell, a superb one at that. Obviously, too many snowflakes don't like this approach (the same people that complain when other developers or filmmakers don't come up with original ideas may I add) and would much rather have more of the same. Too me, this game is a must-play. It will make you laugh, cry, angry and sad but also will make feel satisfied in the end. It's visually stunning and plays like a dream. The characters are complex and written in a way that will question if they are really the good or bad of the story is. Make your own opinions people, don't listen too others especially in the type of society we live in where the world is overrun with too many entitled dicks. Play this game, if you don't like it fine but at least you gave it a try but if you do I'm sure you will have the same love that I and many others have for this masterpiece. 10/10, 5 stars, 100%.

If TLOU 2 isn't a 'good' game then I really don't know what a good game is.

    The story skips back and forth a lot, to the point where the end product feels a little jumbled. And the pacing in the first half isn't great, I was starting to get a little bored before the story dramatically changes gears. And while I don't particularly agree with the notion that the game didn't add enough onto the first game mechanics wise, I can understand that some people may have been wanting more new upgrades and weapons then they got. For the most part the game sticks with the same upgrades that were introduced in the first game.

    But simply put, I can't think of many revenge stories better told than this one is. Certainly one has never taken advantage of a video game as a storytelling device more effectively. In its opening hours, the game gives you incredibly strong motivation to hunt and hurt the villians of the story. Over the course of this 30ish hour game however, the lust for revenge and violence ebbs away as you become emotionally invested in the people that are dotted throughout a story, and you see how much this journey takes from the people undertaking it. More harrowingly, Naughty Dog continually build the people in this journey up as likeable, human characters, and then tear them away from you in normally senseless and brutal ways; that's the world this game is set in.

    People who say this story sucks might have missed the point of the first game, or simply take issue with the more progressive plot points in the game whether they realise it or not. But every moment in this game is so carefully crafted to lend itself to the story, and the acting and animation of everyone in both the cutscenes and the gameplay is beyond incredible. The small comments characters make to themselves or each other which normally mirror what you're thinking continually align yourself with who you're playing as. The high level of quality over everything is so much more than just gud graphics. It's the work of a studio completely devoted to creating an experience where every encounter adds more onto your understanding of these characters as people.

    This game should make you incredibly uncomfortable, which I think is the strongest valid reason to not enjoy it. But it should make you feel uncomfortable because you're a human being, and it's hard to watch what these human beings are capable of doing to each other. For that and all the reasons above, is why I think this game has been an incredible way to cap off this console generation. The controversy will die down as people find other things to complain about, but this game is going to be long remembered as the incredible technical and creative feat that it is.    … Expand

    My biggest issue with the game is the same reason why a lot of people are hating the game, I will not spoil it here but honestly the people hating the game have a point.
    But I could never call it a bad game, honestly it's an amazing game.
    But its biggest enemy it's PART1, The love people have for the first game it's the reason the story is not being well received by many, because the plot in PART2 goes into a completely different direction than the last game. And honestly it's very reasonable that so many people are disliking the story.
    But after analyzing the game a lot, playing it for a second time and watching a lot of reactions by different streamers online, I do think the game and the story do deliver it just that the direction that took is not what many of us wanted.
    But I can not call it bad. In my opinion it is really good, and I think it's worth playing and having the experience for yourself, it's dark, it's vengeful and immersive. However, it is harsh when it comes around the last game and if you do love the last game (just like I do) there is a big possibility you don't like the story.

I was emersed in the world of a post-apocalyptic fungal dystopia full of smugglers, fireflies, infected, Joel, and Ellie. It seems most of the people disappointed with the game are mad at the story of Abby and how to player is forced to play as her and to hunt down Ellie. I honestly dont know why more games do not use this format. A game that forces you to take on both sides to the point where there isn't really a defined protagonist vs antagonist, but instead two conflicting protagonists is unique and hard to accomplish. I heard there were spoilers and leaks before the game came out but I decided to avoid them like the plague.

But also recognize that this cycle of violence as the director calls it is dangerous and painful, and watching that pain brought the tears from my eyes in ways that until now, I thought only movies or other art expressions could achieve, this game also pushes the graphics in a way that makes the first game look way behind, it’s delightful to see the green in the plants and also watch the infected with more detail, a fact that makes them look grotesque particularly one new type of infected which I have to say caused me a total shock to watch, a true abomination. The parallelisms made by the studio with some of the present situations in our society is something that can’t be overlooked, even in these post-apocalyptic world there still exists intolerance and the labels to those who are “different” although is certainly pleasing to see how some stand against it, this game for me, made me look and review the word empathy in a way that I never thought possible, if we consider that it is putting yourself in the shoes of the other, believe me, this games does it, good or bad are just labels in a world where each one of us are mirrors, and the pursuit of justice takes a new scope in this game. In a nutshell, you have to play this game, I believe I’m not exaggerating when I say this game truly proves that video games have the capacity to be works of art but more importantly, they provoke emotions both pleasant and unpleasant.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story of this game is a hard hitting one. It takes dark and horrific turns. Characters are humanised and dehumanised, even your enemies have names.

    The Last of Us 2 is a story of how Abby went from a toxic, vengeful individual to somebody with purpose and a heart, who felt empathy for others and truly realised that every side is capable of being evil, or good.

    On the flip side, it's a story of how Ellie goes from an already fairly broken person to a vengeful, toxic mess. It's almost like she and Abby swap places.

    But I do think that Joel definitely had to die - he was going to. Ellie may have never viewed it that way (You can tell how selfish she is when she's telling him "you took that from me" rather than "you brought me to these people, then murdered them all"), but he was far from perfect, far from a good person, and it was inevitable that his past would catch up to him. By the end Ellie was worse than he was, by a significant margin. If you're attached to Ellie and Joel especially, you'll struggle with this game. If you struggle with empathy chances are you'll hate it.

    Dina is a gem of a character and a bastion of patience, Lev was amazing and really lent to the development of Abby, who definitely had the better arc as a human being. Those environments though, absolutely stunning - that situational environmental design and attention to detail is unrivalled. I'd love to see a sequel from the perspective of Lev and Abby, I think that'd be pretty awesome.    … Expand

Lots of people are not going to have the ability to appreciate and truly understand the story for various reasons, but this is brave story telling that leans on some influential sequels such as Metal Gear Solid 2 and Halo 2 but neither of those can hope to match the raw emotions that this game will expose.

    There’s a lot to say about this game. It’s not for everyone because it is harsh and brutally violent. However the story they’ve told is both astounding in complexity and scope. Despite what some people have said, the characters are excellently written and all have depth. The gameplay is action packed and tense, similar to that of the first game but amplifies and tightened at the screws.There’s a lot to say about this game.

Despite what some people have said, the characters are excellently written and all have depth. The gameplay is action packed and tense, similar to that of the first game but amplifies and tightened at the screws. The game can pan out without a single bug or jitter of the Ps4 console, this is surprising as the game is massive! At times it feels like an open world game, even though it’s not supposed to be! The game is about 20-30 hours depending on how much you decide to explore. And NO the game is not too long, it’s a game for gods sake. When have people ever complained about a game being too long? In summary, The Last Of Us Part 2 while being controversial and brave, is the culmination of years of passionate development and a spectacle of what the Ps4 can accomplish and what we can hope to expect from future games! Definitely worth the money, even if the story is too complex for you or you don’t like it, it’s worth playing until the end and experiencing a game that shines with the very passion its creators have put into it!!!… Expand

    The game is simply amazing, the gameplay is awesome, and the graphics are the best of the generation, the immersion is the best I’ve experienced, the history is not perfect, it could be better, but is so good

    I don't really understand why these troll types are gathering to collectively **** on this game. If you go to reddit and the Last of Us 2 subreddit it's kind of the same type thing. It fits under "cool to hate" culture I guess.

    I played thru the first one a few years ago and loved it. Looked forward to the 2nd one big time. I think it's funny how people are raring with zero but    I don't really understand why these troll types are gathering to collectively **** on this game. If you go to reddit and the Last of Us 2 subreddit it's kind of the same type thing. It fits under "cool to hate" culture I guess.

    I played thru the first one a few years ago and loved it. Looked forward to the 2nd one big time. I think it's funny how people are raring with zero but praise the gameplay, graphics, music, design but have an issue with a couple story choices. That's classic trolling and I think most of the people probably didn't even play the game.

    The story and characters are not for the feint of heart. It is an emotional ride and I think really hits you in emotional ways I haven't felt in a game, even the first one. There are no politics or anything like that pushed into the game, I am not sure what these SJWs and fragile people are saying that. You knew she was a lesbian in the Left Behind DLC from the first game, and it doesn't add or detract from the game honestly, it's just how it is.

    The level design and gameplay is top notch. The story went in a different direction than the first one but it was on point, script was great, the decisions and how it all plays it out is really well done and even if you don't agree with the direction it went I just think it's great story-telling either way.

    If you play it you will be entertained, and mad, and sad, and happy, and everything in between. I don't know why these idiots all got together to **** on an amazing game and easily GOTY, but I guess that's what you get sometimes.

    Do yourself a favor and play this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU II is the best non-open-world game I've ever played. Most people seem to don't like it because either they don't understand the story and its moral message or because of personal reasons (homophobia, hates strong women et.). This is very sad because when you expect to not like something you won't like it for sure.
    In most games you kill one person after the other and the game gives you some kind of feeling that you achieved something good but to reach the goal you murdered thousands of people and no one cares (Uncharted, Tomb Raider etc.) It's the same with Ellies first Part of the story. But what makes TLOU II a masterpiece is the change in point of view to Abby. We see her love to her father, her fear of heights, the death of her friends and comrades, a pointless war against a misguided cult and later on her choosing to save two children from all of it and after all her moral superiority when she decides to let Ellie and pregnant Dina live. The evil killer that murdered Joel became human, every killing (even the dogs) and all the brutality is viewed from another point and is reflected. The message is clear: revange does not only takes so many lifes, it leads to a never seeming to end cycle which ruins the lifes of both Abby and Ellie particularly shown in their fight on the beach. Abby tried to end this before, showed mercy and got out of everything with the little boy at the end. But Ellie who couldn't forget her hatred and went again for revange lost everything: Dina and the child, the farm and very important her fingers. Without them it's impossible for her playing guitar which is the central connection between her and Joel, loosing this ability means all the hate and revange only led to loosing Joel in a way...
    I am very gratefull to have been able to play this outstanding masterpiece! This story was on a completly other level not to mention the unbelievable graphics, the on-point gameplay, the love for detail, not one but two amazing female main characters and as I have heard overwhelming accessibility options. I really hope Naughty Dog is going for a third part in which they conclude the story, either Ellie dies and all hope for humanity is lost or they find a vaccination. This is a story about what hate and revenge does to people and ironically the people who were hating this game are the ones who got the harm because they couldn't go through this experience.    … Expand

    It’s clear that any person rating this game as bad has a huge problem with Naughty Dog «pushing their agenda» - no they’re not, the characters are simply existing. That aside - engaging game that I wasn’t able to put down and am sad is over. Great job!

    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]
