    Одна из лучших игр с проработанной механикой лиц, интересный сюжет, новые харизматичные герои, Naughty Dog как всегда постарались, не жалею ни одной потраченной копейки

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Técnicamente lo mas bestia de Ps4, no hay diferencias entre las cinemáticas y el gameplay. Ambientación e inmersión total. Jugabilidad notablemente superior al anterior juego. Físicas y animaciones envidiables. IA mejorada.

    Historia buena, pero inferior a lo esperado.
    No es satisfactoria.

    Como punto negativo destaco la segunda mitad del juego la cual se hace pesada. Te obligan a jugar 15 horas con Abby y si bien se logra empatizar con ella se echa en falta a Ellie.

    En resumen un gran juego con una historia mejorable pero que todos deberían jugar.    … Expand

    Gameplay: Amazing
    Graphics: Amazing
    Story & Narrative: Amazing

    This game is set in a bad world, where bad things happen. There are no happily ever afters.

    The last of us part II achieved the feat of surpassing its predecessor. The gameplay evolves, the graphics are the best on the console and with a bold and daring story. Charismatic and captivating characters very well built throughout the plot. There is no perfect game , but this would be one of the closest to him.

    Le 1er TLOU reste meilleur...

    Ma vraie note est 7/10 mais j'ai donné 10/10 à cause des haters qui n'ont pas joué au jeu et qui distribuent des 0 gratuitement.

    I can't imagine what an absolute loser you have to be to review bomb a game without having ever played it and claiming "the story is bad" because you read some leaks. These people don't deserve rights and are incapable of complex thought.

    That being said, I actually did play and complete the game. The gameplay is exciting and beefed up a lot mechanically compared to the first game.

    That being said, I actually did play and complete the game. The gameplay is exciting and beefed up a lot mechanically compared to the first game. Constant tension and stress running from alive and undead foes alike makes the brief quiet moments seem like oases. The story challenges the player to feel empathy, and the people saying naughty dog "doesn't care about the players" because of certain events in the story lack that quality.

    For the people dismissing the game as "SJW trash," you're on a whole new level of vile. The extent of the "SJW pandering" is a lesbian relationship and a transgender character, who is arguably the most likeable and relatable character in the game. These characters don't seem like tokens, they seem like real people, which is refreshing.

    TL;DR go buy this game if you own a PS4, period. If you didn't play the first one, play that first.    … Expand

Porém o jeito que mataram personagens queridos como se não fosse nada me desagradou um pouco, mataram o Joel bem no início do jogo e ele era o favorito de muitos. A insaciável busca por vingança, nos mantem tao presos no jogo para poder enfim encerrar com isso, mas quando se chega no final, deixamos abby viver. A história tem seus pontos fortes como tem seus pontos fracos. Adorei o jogo, mas o primeiro é de longe muito superior!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have just finished the game but was willing to review it about 12 hours in. Due to what I expect was from an overwhelming amount of trolls rating the game low when they likely hadn't even played it, I thought I should offer my support. Here was the original review:

    "First of all I would like to state I have played this game for 12 hours now and have yet to finish a 22 hour (minimum) game. What shocks me is the amount of speed runners already hating the game, finishing it within maybe four hours of release?

    Obviously I am joking and these other reviews are from those who have not finished, or likely even bought the game. I think it's shameful when people decide to destroy the reputation of a game off of leaks that don't conform to what they think should have happened. Gay people exist, major characters die as plot devices and women who are buff are not always trans, get over it.

    The game is immaculate and I cant wait to play more. The story, writing and visuals are supremely done and I would put it on par with the original already (rush to judgement? maybe, but then again I have actually played the game for a significant amount of time and am therefore able to form a valid opinion).

    10/10, Thank you naughty dog for making a true experience of heartbreaking violence."

    I keep the exact same sentiment as before and would rate it higher if I could. Shows an evolution of new and old character's and offers you an actual different perspective that shows those we know and love in a different light.    … Expand

    Sometimes I just don't understand what people expect from games. Maybe because there is always less than 15 minutes of progress. Because the game slows down? In times of Call of Duty, Battlefield and other stuff, this doesn't suit everyone ...

    With The Last of Us Part II, finally a game with a great story. Great graphics and a game that doesn't force you to progress every 30 minutes. That is exactly what it is all about!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After playing The Last of Us 2 I must say I’m left very conflicted when it comes to my thoughts on the game’s story. My major grievance with the story is that by the third act after Ellie leaves behind Dina and the baby the game essentially becomes misery porn where the character you cared for since the original game is left broken both physically and mentally with nothing to show for it. I’m not saying the story is necessarily bad but in my opinion it gets way too nihilistic in the end for its own good. I have always enjoyed dark stories and bitter sweet endings but this game goes overboard in that regard at the very end with a hopless and futile ending with no light having been on the other side which isn’t bad with a series that deals in that regard, but with the first Last of Us the dark tone was meant to be offset by bittersweet moments and small moments of light hearted comedy whereas this game abandons all hope and the style of story that made the predecessor a masterpiece in writing. Aside from the story. The gameplay, graphics, and voice acting is top notch. The Last of Us 2 is a technical marvel but with a very divisive story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jugabilidad similar al 1 pero con varias mejoras, la banda sonora excelente como siempre.
    La historia, les guste o no, está bien desarrollada, porque intenta ser realista, mostrar que el personaje que más usamos en el 1 muere de esa manera es hacernos caer a una realidad que, pese a ser un juego, hay cosas similares a la vida real. Mostrar el punto de vista de Abby es excelente también, ya que muestra el lado humano, ayuda a entender el porque de sus acciones y ayuda a crear una atmosfera diferente cuando les toca pelear a Abby y Ellie. No sentís que es Ellie contra la villana de turno, sentís que es una pelea entre dos personas que sufrieron bastante para llegar hasta ese punto. El final quizás es algo cuestionable, pero no deja de ser razonable, una Ellie que entiende los porqué de Abby y al final decide perdonarle la vida.
    En conclusión, un juego que intenta narrar una historia más realista, con dos enfoques diferentes de la narrativa. Gracias ND por no caer en el cliche de historia de venganza.    … Expand

    Este juego es genial , mejoras en sus mecánicas en comparación al 1 quizás el final no es tan Bueno comparando al 1 , pero el desarrollo de la historia es muy bueno, los sentimientos que provocan este videojuego es como una montaña rusa , de la nada te humaniza y luego te des-humaniza , es muy buen juego , gráficos buenos , mecánicas buenas y historia genial

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know that everyone complains about the story. I was confused too. But when you think deeper about it you'll understand. Joel died this way because it's a real world. Nothing happens like you want. Joel survived for so long and his death was heart breaking. Knowing that Ellie saw it breaks my heart even more. I was really confused when they made us play for Abby. I hated her for kiling Joel and didn't want to play as her character. But it showed us lives of other people. That sometimes people kill not because they want to. They driven by emothins and circumstances. I hate this part, but if ND wanted to show us this I'm okay with that. But I wanted to play more as Ellie. About ending. I hate it. Because it's sad and devastating. Ellie ended up alone. That's what she was scared of the most. And it happend. I hate it. About her don't killing Abby. As much as I hated her I knew Ellie not going to kill her. Abby maybe killed Joel but she spare Ellie's life two times. That have to count for something. This is really complicated story that reflect real world as it is . Harsh and Sad. There is no cure and people have to live like that their whole lives… Expand

    The story is very different from the first ones, but that's not a bad thing.
    This was one om the most moving and depressing stories.
    But in a very good way.
    I feel the story dragged just a little bit, when playing as Abby.
    But nowhere near enough to be a real problem.
    They did things in this game, I have never seen before in my gaming career, and made me feel things that a game has never made me feel before.
    I don't know yet if I liked this better than the first one, as the first game still has a very special place in my heart, but this is a worthy sequel.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game a few hours ago and taken some time to reflect on everything that happened throughout the story. I understand why most people have a problem with this but I think they are just upset with Joel’s death so early on. However the rest of the game plays like normal and is pretty incredible, I don’t think there were any really touching moments like from the first game but some scenes were very well played out. As for the character design and development it wasn’t the best but was not anywhere near as bad as people are making it out to be. As for the ending I heard from a lot of people it wasn’t very good however I thought the ending was as good as it could be with the story they chose to tell and there is a lot of things to look into in the ending which give the story some actual meaning.
    Is this Naughty Dog’s strongest game? No.
    But it’s no where near as bad as the fans are making it out to be and is definitely worth playing if you keep an open mind.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the end of the last of us 1, we needed a continuation, which would show all of us what happened to the characters we liked so much, the game starts in a happy way and right after we have a dramatic scene, the death of joel the character we love and control in the last of us 1 is killed, bringing great anger and sadness, the same feelings that ellie feels, so the game after the prologue puts us in a situation where we want and seek revenge, we set out on an adventure with a single goal, to kill whoever killed the joel, in such a way that we feel like being ellie, we feel like she does, and then the game puts us in another vision, putting us to play with those we hate , leaving us with the fear that there is no wrong side, there are different sides of view, abby's campaign ends with a battle against ellie right after ellie's campaign stops, after the fight between the two, we turn to ellie later and story back to a cic revenge, so the game shows itself as a pure work of art with a beautiful story, wonderful graphics, a great stealthy slap, immersive gameplay, incredibly optimized gameplay and well-made and comfortable controls, with all my time and game, day that launched until 2 days later when I finished the game, my definition for him is "perfect", this game achieves the great feat of overcoming the first game, and if a great successor and that honors the great story of the first game, bringing a story as good as.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great, if polarizing game. The Last of Us 2 does not have a bad story, but rather an extremely risky one. The game-play is really good survival-horror style action. Enemies are lethal and it'll always be better to avoid them than engage in direct combat. Resources are limited with ammo conservation being a major game play factor. Each of the characters also have very different tools that set them apart from each other. It can get somewhat repetitive at times but if you enjoy the game-play then it shouldn't be too much of an issue. The game also allows you to pace yourself. In one section of the game, as Ellie, You're taken off a linear path and given free reign to explore a region of Seattle. If you find the game play boring, The game allows you to reduce the number of encounters by rushing to your goal. But taking the time to explore the amazing environments allows to find rewards that you may have missed otherwise. There's also a robust suite of accessibility and difficulty options if you want to breeze through encounters to get to the story.

    The story takes a bold risk with the death of Joel. It plants its focus solely on Ellie, and later, takes a deep look into the character and history of Abby. This isn't to say that the story doesn't show the father-daughter relationship moments that many fans were hoping for, but they're regulated to flashbacks as Joel dies early in the game. The story isn't bad as it deeply explores the characters and their relationships. It even pulls away from a pivotal moment for a ten-hour detour to explore the antagonist. People who wanted the father-daughter journey from the first game will be disappointed, but those who can appreciate the new direction of the game will most likely enjoy it. The ending, while good and moving, doesn't deliver the cathartic revenge that many are looking for.    … Expand

    Masterpiece. I tend to agree that there a lot of female characters and it was difficult for me to associate myself with them. No matter, I spent 26 hours with no stops and it was immersive as hell. Art design is insane. I would prefer to see those games instead of fortnite-like, but sadly, other rewievers, who give this game 0-5 score, probably want to see only fortnite in future.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLoU2 is without a doubt the best game I have ever played! The game goes above and beyond the first setting a new standard in the games industry just as the first did in 2013. The game is so well written, the story is complex and pulls on your heartstrings throughout, making for one of the most compelling stories to ever be written. The gameplay is fluid and feels like a true survival game. The game has been receiving a lot of bad reviews from players that believe Naughty Dog has destroyed the franchise by killing off one of the main characters but in all honesty it was always inevitable and the way it was written made me feel the anger and sadness Ellie did making me want to push on and get revenge. The game has the best graphics I have seen in video games. Overall this game is the best I have ever played, definitely play the Last of Us Part 1 before playing this game as it is imperative for the storyline.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having actually purchased and just a couple hours ago finished the game I can say it is a truly interesting story, no it wasn’t a ‘fun’ game, it tells a horrible story, of loss, revenge, grief, trauma. It forces you to evaluate good and bad, no one person, organisation, or community in the game can be defined as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ this games gives you perspective into that and allows you to see that the world of the last of us isn’t black and white, it’s complex, and blurry. In video games your version of what happens is always subjective, if you really had a think about it in almost any video game you might realise that that fictional character you just killed had a family. The last of us confronts that fact, shows the other sides to the key players in the game and ultimately allows you to empathise with them. A quote I love from the book Ender’s Game applies here. "In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves.”… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is focused on the progression of time.
    Game starts with Joel cleaning a guitar to give to Ellie. A metaphor. He's cleaning his past, it doesn't go away. Yet he tries the best that he can, he gives the guitar to Ellie. Time passes, when he gives it to Ellie, he tells her a joke:

    what's the downward of eating a clock? It's time consuming.

    All the game revolves around this. Spending time doing things we think might be important, wasting time because those action take us away time to do things we really like with people we love.
    Revenge is one of those time wasting actions.
    This point is carried till the very end of the game.

    A specific fact puts everything in motion. In the prologue, Joel is killed by Abby. That's where the game starts.
    We're put in Ellie's shoes seeking revenge. That's not a "bad scene", that's not "bad writing". That's the main plotline, that's what people miss about this (maybe because they didn't even play the game).

    So, we're in Ellie's shoes and we are going after the WLF, Washington Liberation Front, a rebel group. Most of the game we're her seeking revenge. The narration lasts for 3 days, with flashbacks from the very end of The Last of Us to the very start of The Last of Us Part II. There's also another point of view. Abby's point of view, the one who killed Joel. Narration, takes the same diegetic timing, three days and four years flashbacks.

    We then discover Abby avenges his father's dead killing Joel. And Ellie avenges Joel killing everyone Abby loved.
    Everything is cyclical. Revenge brings even more revenge. Death brings death.

    The Last of Us revolves around the impossibility to separate what's bad from what's good. Subjectivity and pragmatism has always been the main focus of the first game. In the end we're left with just question, was Joel right? He saved the only person he really cared about, but he left the rest of the world dying. They put the whole Abby's story to be certain that you could understand that all the people (and sigh dogs) you killed with Ellie (and you didn't care about, because they were just NPCs) were actually someone for someone else than you. That's the whole point of both games. Choiches. Consequences.
    In the first game we're left with Joel killing people to save the one he really loves. Someone kills him because of this. Was he right? He killed for a loved one. Was Abby right? She also killed for a loved one. The point is: everyone is right, everyone is wrong. They did what they did because they felt it was the right thing to do. It was not the same for other people.

    In the end after a year, we are almost in another world, but Ellie is restless and still wants to kill Abby. She finds her a few states far, in California, where she's been held captive and tortured for two whole months. Ellie tries to kill what's left of her again, but in the end she gives up.
    Abby was wrong keeping on with the revenge loop, killing Joel. Ellie makes the right decision. She's not like Abby, she can be better. Yet she wasted a lot of time trying to have justice, when it was just another revenge. In the end, there's no one for her anymore. But, at the same time she found herself again, breaking the cycle, not killing anyone. That's the point.

    In the first game we save Ellie, someone else dies.
    In both games we kill people, someone else life will be over.

    I too felt like **** seeing Joel dying. But that's the whole point of the game. We feel like **** That's what a character might have felt seeing someone who they cared for dying. The game aimed for that "feel like **** feeling", they wanted you to feel anger against Abby. But in the end it tries to explain that anyone can "feel like **** every one can feel anger. Abby too.
    In conclusion, you felt like **** That's good because you were supposed to feel like **** but you're supposed to understand that you're not the only one. And who's right being angry? Everyone. You are justified in your anger, so Abby was. At the same time, no one. Someone you loved died, someone who they loved died too. If you want a punishment in a dialectical meaning, you also get it. Both Ellie and Abby lost everyone they loved at the hands of the other one, except for one only person. In the end Abby is also captured and tortured, a semi-extradiegetic revenge always used in storywriting, where the revenge is not served in the main plot but it is by something in the same universe.

    Characters makes you feel in world full of people, as opposed to the first game. You're not the only one fighting this, you got supportive people all along the way. And this is the main difference from the first game. You have someone to fight for. You have someone who would fight for you.

    Level design changes a bit from the first game, as gameplay does. It's built in a more vertical way, and the world is biggerUnfortunatelly nomorespace i canttalk more about characters+gameplay+leveldesign bcse talkd toomuch sorry    … Expand

    Es uno de los juego que más emociones me ha dado y decir que a nivel de historia inferior a su primera entrega pues es respetable debido a que no hay mucha evolución de los personajes, sin embargo las distintas formas en las que experimentas las consecuencias de la venganza es indiscutiblemente maravilloso, realmente te hace sentir culpable de los actos que has cometido, haciéndote sentir una basura en algunos momentos, y debo admitir que llegaron partes del juego que me dieron ganas de no agarrar el control porque simplemente no quería ver una "supuesta" muerte más.
    Aparte de algunos errores técnicos casi indetectables o como que uno que otro bug muy rara vez, es un juego muy completo y pulido, y si, quizá el final fue un poco esperado al principio de verlo, pero después de analizarlo no fue como otros finales de la típica venganza en la que se le perdona la vida al enemigo simplemente porque eso "no nos haría una mejor persona que el", si no que en este caso le perdona la vida porque por ese instante ellie se logra perdonar la muerte de joel, lo que finalmente la libera de sus pesadillas, pero a un costo enorme, perdiendo todo lo que alguna vez tuvo, es decir, le perdonó la vida porque ella lo necesitaba, más no porque era lo "correcto".
    En resumen un gran juego con una historia muy buena y fuera de lo común en videojuegos (almenos de la forma en la que está contada) y que sin duda sabe hacerte ver la cruda realidad de la vida.
    Muy recomendable si están dispuestos a una historia mucho más compleja y madura, pero si estas acostumbrado a que todo sea color de rosas u odias todo lo que sea que no es como quieres, pues mejor no lo juegues o lo veas, porque una crítica sin haberlo jugado es la más grande estupidez que alguien puede hacerle a un videojuego.    … Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
