    The gameplay is really good and the story is super tragic, but I like it better that way.

    Joel dying was good, and if you say otherwise you're a snowflake that did not play the first one, Joel is not a hero he's a **** person that did **** things

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me parece un juego con gran jugabilidad y gráficos, y aunque se quejen de la historia esta busca ser realista no una historia bonita, Joel tenía más que merecida la muerte ya que mato gente por su egoísmo antes que el bien común, aparte un ejemplo de que la muerte es muy natural en este juego es cuando matas a un enemigo, sus compañeros gritan, se enojan porque murió un amigo y un aliado, por lo cual buscan venganza. Los personajes de Ellie y Joel son despreciables ya que matan por su bien pero es así en ese mundo, la única forma de sobrevivir es matando, aunque digan que la muerte de Joel “no es lo que se merecía”, entonces que se merecía morir típica escena épica salvando a Ellie, no, claro que no ya que como cualquier personaje en el juego mato, robo, etc. Me pareció mucho matar a Joel así ya que es una persona ni buena ni mala, solo una persona pudo haber muerto de cualquier forma y estaría bien, por eso nos ponen en perspectiva de Abby para ver qué en ese mundo no solo hay 2 personajes o 3 o 10, sino qué hay miles y en cualquier momento pueden morir, que en cualquier momento van a dejar de seguir sus principios y van a empezar a matar, por eso este juego se me hace más realista, ya que trata temas como la venganza, que lo hace muy bien ya que todo empezó porque Joel mato a esas luciérnagas por su propio bien sin pensar en los demás, y por eso lo matan, y porque matan a Joel Ellie busca matar a los que lo mataron, exactamente eso pasaría si esta situación fuera real, el final también es bueno, aunque digan que es una mierda, ya que Ellie sabe que si mata a Abby, el niño que tenia Abby buscaría venganza, por eso el juego es bueno. La gente que no le gusto es por 2 razones, una es porque ven a Joel como un héroe un salvador y a Ellie como su compañera que siempre hacen lo correcto, pero eso no es cierto, Joel tenía más que merecida la muerte como al igual que cualquier personaje en esta saga ya que no hay buenos personajes o malos personajes, solo personajes. La neta la única cagada es la forma que le cuenta la verdad a Ellie de como la salvo. Si no está de acuerdo con mi opinión mándame un correo a mateoyague09@gmail.com y me vas a decir porque.

OMG, this game is so good gameplay wise and specially the graphics, presentation. The story was sad and some parts a little disappointing but that doesn’t matter because the gameplay is what really matters. Breath of the wild’s story suffered by not being as deep as it’s predecessors, but was universally praised for its good gameplay and presentation. It is the same thing here, a very good quality triple A title here so good you will want to play it again once you beat the campaign. There were some slight changes to the gameplay and combat system but not big changes but is okay as the first game mechanics were near perfect so it wasn’t necessary to completely change the combat system. What we got here is a good game that deserves a chance as NaughtyDog keeps doing what it does best a very fun game that really entertains you, as that’s what the video games are in the first place, to have fun. Please play this game is very fun, you might not like where the direction of the story goes but the overall game is what really matters. Stop listening to those haters who negatively reviewed this game and they haven’t even played it or even completed the first five hours of the game. Or didn’t even like the first game in the first place as they suck at it from the beginning. If you like the challenge in a game and using your head often this game is for you, you won’t be disappointed. This is a masterpiece that will be talked forever as one of the most controversial games in this decade. Worth the wait. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I'm just going to talk about the story, gameplay and graphics are already a 10/10 for me. And I'm sure most of yawl may share the same opinion till here.

    Now, where you all will disagree is this. SPOILER ALERT.

    I do understand why people wouldn't like this game. But I'd also say or quote Troy Baker, "keep an open mind". If you actually look and understand the story closely, the writing does induce the feeling of loss of a loved one in real life. I mean, to be honest, I've never actually felt such anger for some character dying, that too in a game. The game makes you feel 'Hate'.
    Well yeah, anytime anyone can nitpick this w being 'overly complex' just to keep up w the 1st one. Eventually, inducing hate in audience for the series. But if you do look at some avant garde film concepts, you'd definently realize it's not only about relatability with audience's mind, but also about making them 'feel' the emotion. (Wouldn't be a right example, in comparison. But may prove my point for you, only if you're interested in the avant garde)

    I mean look at films by Andre Tarkovsky, they make you feel 'time' or by Carlos Reygadas which make you feel 'a perplexed individual's reality' or even by Quentin Tarantino which make you feel comedy in absurdity.

    Now talking about the complexity, (just my opinion) I felt it was perfectly balanced out. Neil Druckmann didn't force you to 'empathise' with Abby. Coz if he did, he wouldn't have gone for an aftermath ending where an older Ellie takes an effort to take revenge and looses all she had; my man could've simply made this game an Abby biased game instead of keeping it 50/50 each character perspective with Ellie biase. I mean, I'm damn sure even Druckman knew nothing can account for Joel's death. So what he did instead is show you a 'perspective' of a villian (and not her side of the story by forcing you to empathizing with her). And to keep that 'perspective' interesting he uses the concepts of 'war' during the Abby sequences to elaborate how everyone has an internal war. Abby's internal war is guilt, Ellie's revenge, Lev's sexuality.

    And just like a war to end all war does nothing but creates more, the ending sequence where they both fight like beaten up pigs is just so you see this situation from an objective yet ellie's POV.

    Well, at least to me (call me an opem minded naive) but honestly... by the end of the game, I felt Joel did have to go. (Though it's a personal biase) But w the concepts of war, space and ocean the game did get meexistential and made feel Joel's death as a trivial part of survival. Yet I cried when he did. (Well, some might've felt it's a drag.. but I just simply loved the game)

    Thanks for reading this far and wasting your precious time :P

    Throughout the course of this game you will feel different things that may be uncomfortable but stick with it, the new characters are wonderful additions and if you're invested in this universe you will feel a whole string of emotions towards various characters and as you understand the prespectives of both ellie and abby you begin to understand that they aren't all that different in some ways. As you begin to see why abby did what she did you slowly begin to sympathize with her and grow with her as the game progresses while also getting to know the people ellie hurts the game puts you in control of abby for the first fight between abby and ellie, this for me wasnt enjoyable but it was necessary for the storys progression, its necessary for you to understand that even though you want to side with ellie after what abby did you've grown to care about the people abby wants to avenge after ellie kills them and its painful to see abby grieve the way ellie does over joel. This is the point in the game were you realize that there is no good guys or bad guys, just survivors in a broken world and to get the full emotional pull of the second act you HAVE to understand this. Yet while I did grow to like abby I do believe that some of the best moments in the game are the flashbacks that host both a younger ellie and a kinder joel, they absolutely steal the show and while i morn the lose of joel gravely so and found it difficult at first to see things from abbys view i did enjoy story. Also abbys play time is just as long as ellies though I personally(as well as most people i would assume) think ellie steals the show. You feel the characters emotions just by seeing their expressions and listening to the music which is furthered even more by dialouge and actions of said characters. At first you will absolutely hate abby as the developers surely intend you to but once ellies three day period is over and you play those same three days over as abby she may very well start to grow on you. The gameplay is smooth and combat and stealth are so much more tense then ever before as the enemy AI will find ways to outsmart you or outgun you and that only increases as the difficulty increases. The graphics speak for themselves as remarkable breathtaking feats and while the story may not be for everyone I fully enjoyed my time with this game and am already making headway in a second playthrough. By the end the game makes you understand that ellie wasn't after abby purely for revenge as the final flahback reveals that ellie and joel were beginning the roads to forgiveness after ellie had found out about joels lie in an earlier cutscene but just a short time after they have this discussion he is taken from her by abby and ellie feels that abby stole her chance to forgive and heal what was broken, while also realizing what this quest for revenge has turned her into and upon realizing this ellie lets abby go instead of drowning her. this story requires you to take the story as it is instead of what you want it to be and doing so grounds the universe even further as each character is more than true to who they were and who they've become since the time we last seen them. This game does not have a happy ending as ellie loses 2 fingers in her final fight with ellie she can no longer play the guitar, realising that her quest for revenge has also taken the last thing left she had from joel(being his lessons on how to play the guitar) as well as losing her relationship with dina in favor of tracking abby down. You the player feel this overwhelming pain as the screen pans out after she's set down the guitar and left the house and all that's left is to watch her walk away with this feeling of understanding that she's lost pretty much everything because of the choices that were made. These emotions may not be what you're looking for in a game and thats okay but to those who do decide to play it the story is great even in all lose and sadness.

    If youre still skeptical I encourage you to look at reviews on both sides, get good and bad opinions and see if this is for you and maybe watch a playthrough if that doesn't prove enough, but please only listen to those who sound like they've actually played the game and be aware that there's definitely people here review bombing a product they haven't played. You may not be one who enjoys this work of art and thats ok but make the decision for yourself, don't let others tell you how to feel. To all incoming players be prepared for an emotionally challenging story that will push you to the edge and back. As I believe this story is closely on par with the emotional holdings of the first in almost every way.

    I loved the soundtrack, it was catchy, and the characters, oh my god, they're so alive!
    Joel's death was sad, but necessary, it was a great motivation to let Ellie so **** angry, but he doesn't died like Joel, he died like a weak man, he should die, but not like that. I'm not saying that he must had worthy death, because it's the end of the world and the death never have been beautiful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O jogo é muito bom e vale muito a pena, tem o melhor gráfico que um ps4 pode entregar uma trilha sonora nota 10 e jogabilidade nota 10, mas algumas partes da história precisão ser analisadas com mais calma e com menos ódio.
    O sentimento sobre a morte do Joel foi estranho, mas ele tinha que morrer, sua morte traz muito mais valor para a história já que ele não é mais o mesmo, na cidade ele não estava mais sobrevivendo e sim vivendo.
    Jogar com a Abby mesmo entendendo o motivo dela, deu uma raiva, medo e desespero só de pensar em acabar gostando dela. A briga dela com a Ellie quase me quebrou, ainda mais por me fazer bater na Ellie, foi difícil.
    Ver a Ellie na casa nova com a Dina e o JJ foi um momento de paz.
    No começo foi difícil entender como ela podia ter deixado tudo aquilo para voltar para sua vingança, mas ela precisava daquilo, ela estava quebrada por dentro e aquela foi à forma que ela encontrou para se perdoar e para superar a morte do Joel.
    Acabei não tendo mais tanta raiva da Abby, mas ainda não chego a gostar dela, não só pelo que ela fez com o Joel, mas principalmente pelo que ela fez com Ellie, a Abby por não superar a morte do pai, sofria muito e mesmo assim não se importou se matando o Joel causaria o mesmo sofrimento em outra pessoa.
    Um exemplo desse sentimento no jogo é mostrado durante os pesadelos da Abby, ela voltava para o meso corredor que acabava na sala onde o pai dela foi morto, ajudando aquelas crianças ela finalmente se livra do pesadelo encontrando o pai dela vivo na sala, superando assim a morte dele.
    Com a Ellie acontece o mesmo um corredor que acabava na sala onde o Joel foi morto.
    E depois de perceber que matar a Abby não ajudaria em nada, já que ela matou todos os amigos da Abby que estavam envolvidos com a morte do Joel, e mesmo assim não amenizou a dor e sofrimento dela. E também só criaria o mesmo sentimento no Lev se ele sobrevivesse.
    No fim, por perceber tudo isso ela tem uma visão do Joel em uma varanda tocando violão, fazendo com que ela poupe a vida da Abby.
    E assim acredito que a Ellie acaba se perdoando pela forma que tratou Joel e acaba superando sua morte.

    Em minha opinião The Last Of Us é nota 10, por me trazer tantos sentimentos novos e por criar vários pontos de vista diferente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just Ended! It is Masterpiece!

    Im from Russia, so sorry me for my English, im only listen and read English, never talk or write. And i never wrote on this site and never rate this.

    All game, every part it is something that everybody who loves game industry should try. All part of this game is Masterpiece, and only part which is debatable it is story. For me story work great. I have opinion that LGBT theme is redundant, but im waiting more propaganda about it, but in game it almost doesn't matter. Story great take us to the revenge theme, then show us other side of conflict which after Ellie path looks more like HUMAN being, then push it together in conflict. And all it by master storytelling. Moment when main character fighting im wanted to throw game pad away just for stop this, i even trying to miss QTE. I cant explain all my feeling in english, but its have so many moment when i have thinking about this game, about revenge, friends, enemies, life at all. I think this is great story with great directing.

    And if somebody dont like story, its really mean 0 as rate this game? all this animation, locations, sounds, gameplay, voice acting doesnt mean nothing? im so confusing by all this hate. I can understand rate 5-6, okay 4, but lower its insane for me.

    Often people hear talk about part I, im a big fan of TLOU part I, this is first game that affect on my by so special way. And for me story at first game more simple, more "one-sided", and more "
    straightforward". So im also cant understand people who talk about first story like it something unique, but this is poor **** whats wrong with you? What are you waiting? New journey Ellie and Joel? for this play part I, this is new experience in this awesome universe.

    While Im playing i was not 100% deal with story, and fell some disappoint too, but after end scene and little time with thoughts about it im understand that story is such as it should be.

    The wait was well worth it. The game mechanics are just like the first game with some additions to it. The story is phenomenal and gets you invested in it early on. The story is scary, frustrating, happy, exciting, and depressing. You'll feel all sorts of emotions through this game and that's exactly what Naughty Dog wanted, for you to feel the pain of the protagonist. They wanted you to want revenge, to be angry, and the reviews reflect that. They want you to see the grey in things, that not everything is black and white. The decisions made by characters in this game and real decisions any of us can make if pushed to the breaking point of loss and sadness. They made some BOLD moves in the story and I think they're excellent. I cried, it was hard to see this story play out.

    The Last of Us 2 is now my favorite game of all time. I'm now on my third play through and I plan to keep going. The world is huge, the story is long, and there's lots to see along the way. Get this game and be ready to feel all sorts of emotions. It's worth it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like most when I heard about the leaks I was disappointed, but I decided to keep a open mind and purchase the game.Controls take time to get used to, and the pacing is a bit slow at times but the game is well worth playing.
    In my playthrough a question popped in my head-WHAT IS THE PRICE OF VENGEANCE, AND ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY.I’ll start with Abby’s vengeance. In her pursuit of Joel she is faced many times with Owen attempting to build a relationship with Abby, each time Abby turns it down and continues with her “Leads” even though it is clear they still like each other. Eventually this leads to Owen dating Mel and getting her pregnant. Later in a cutscene, Abby and Owen have sex(keep in mind Owen is still with Mel) it was a long time coming. After the affair Owen wants Abby to travel with Mel and him, Owen says he’ll try to make it work, in his love triangle. Mel later reveals to Abby that, she never liked her(probably saw and Abby and Owen close still) Later Abby aids in finding Lev, Owen tried to join Abby, Mel strongly disagrees. Abby knows at this point, that the time for her and Owen has passed. She tells Owen to stay and get his priorities in line, ending any further involvement.
    Abby lost her chance to grow a relationship with the only other person that she cared for. As well as losing her friends. And she also has a change of heart and befriends two seraphites, which leads her to kill her comrades(WLF)

    Ellie’s vengeance leads to her being mentally and visibly shaken by her actions after getting Nora to “talk”. Later she shoots Owen and stabs Mel in the neck, in Owens last moments he informs Ellie that Mel was pregnant. This disturbs Ellie leading to her getting on her knees, breathe heavily, and wrap her arms around her stomach(throw up?pain?) she is snapped out of it by Tommy and is taken back to base, only problem is Ellie left her map, leading Abby to find her. We cut to the future(after Abby beats Ellie and Dina), Ellie is on a farm with Dina and, Dina’s child JJ, just like Dina wanted. Ellie walks around the house with JJ and has a good time, eventually she has to herd the sheep into the barn. While herding you hear winds picking up. Ellie locks the small door that holds sheep, only to find a lamb out. She approaches the lamb resulting in the lamb knocking over a shovel, which triggers Ellie.a flash of Joel’s dying face appears and attempts to get the lamb only for the door to close. You play in a small room with stairs that lead down, she hears Joel calling Ellie for help, Ellie reaches the door but it is locked, she can’t open it and starts yelling. It cuts to reality and Ellie is screaming and the baby is crying(Ellie had JJ in a sling) Dina tried to comfort Ellie. Tommy shows up(you find out he lived) with only one eye and his leg doesn’t work like before(from Abby and Lev) he reveals him and Maria are taking time apart. He came to inform Ellie that a informant saw a muscular woman traveling with a boy with scars in his face. He tried to get Ellie on board. Dina tells Tommy, that they are done with that, Ellie tells Tommy she is sorry. Tommy packs his bag, and tells Ellie,”you said you’d make her pay” angry he leaves and Dina has “parting words” with him. Ellie eventually decides she has to finish it, Dina tries to stop Ellie from leaving, telling her she has a family and that she won’t go through it again. Ellie leaves. Skipping ahead Ellie finds Abby and they fight(real gritty) Elle gains the upper hand, and starts to drown Abby while chilling music plays, the camera pans to Ellie’s face. Bloody and in tears she has a memory of Joel, and decides to let Abby live. She definitely had a revelation, but it’s open to interpretation.

    Ellie returns to the farm to find Dina has left and the house is empty and cold, in contrast to before, it was colorful and warm. She goes up stairs to play guitar, she plays the song Joel sang to her,”if I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose my self” this hit me, she lost Joel, and lost her self figuratively and literally as she lost her left ring and pinky fingers, leaving her unable to play the guitar properly. Alone and changed, she has a look on her face I can’t describe(see model viewer “Ellie-epilogue”)

    Ellie’s price was her mental state as seen after her encounter with Nora, Owen and Mel, Jessie dying, Tommy losing a eye and ability to walk properly, as well as him and his wife taking a “break”, Ellie’s ability to play guitar, last but not least- Dina leaving.

    It is a different game with a tragic ending, one that is welcome in a market of happily ever afters and fears of telling a story like it due to backlash(like right now)

    I came in with a bit of disappointment but kept a open mind, and left with a amazing experience.Is the price of vengeance worth it? Are you willing to pay? For it not only impacts you, but also others.

    Of course people don't have to like it, and maybe a lot of people expected a different kind of story, but giving a game 0 points without playing the game is just childishness in my opinion. And I don't want to talk about these LGBT accusations at all. This is just too rediculous.

    And yes, I played the game all the way through, unlike many others here.

    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]
