    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. voy a dar mi humilde opinión a nivel de mecánicas y gameplay es casi lo mismo que el primero que no es malo pero para aquellas personas que la repetición les amarga puede que si,al nivel visual no se como la ps4 lo mueve sin explotar pero vamos al tropiezo de the last of us 2 la historia esta puede dar mas de si y esta un poco mal organizada la parte de abby en la mitad del juego se siente un poco pesada pudieran haberla hecho mejor y dejando esta parte como dlc y centrando la historia en elli y todo lo que tiene que hacer en su búsqueda de venganza no solo pegar tiros para conseguir las respuestas, sino también a través de la tortura de los compañeros de abby para conseguir su paradero algo parecido al gato y el raton primero abby siendo el gato y el ratón joel y luego cambiando los roles con elli siendo el gato lleno de odio y dolor desaogandose matando a los amigos de abby de maneras horribles aumentando progresivamente por cada asesinato llegando al final de la parte de elli encontrándose con abby en en el teatro y al final elli ahogándola hasta la muerte en la playa y también matando a lev para no dejar cabos sueltos igual como iban hacer con ella al principio y el final final con la guitarra dejarlo así tal cual por que lo deja bastante bien Expand

    This is a great game and is a perfect sequel. If you're a fan of the TLOU, then you're going to love TLOU 2. Folks that are bombing it, have their heads in the sand for whatever personal reasons and that has nothing to do with the game itself.

    No es un juego, es una experiencia. Tienes que entrar en el sin prejuicios, con la mente abierta y el corazón en la mano. Disfruta de sus escenarios y paisajes, la música y del ruido de la naturaleza. Presta atención a cada detalle en los personajes, a sus diálogos, y sus muecas. Es más que un juego, es arte. No quiero que esta historia se acabe.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. made an account to write this review. This game isn’t as bad as the user score says it is, or at least its not to me. I can understand why the people don’t like this game though. I went into this game expecting it to be extremely dark and no fun at all. It wasn’t as dark as I thought it would be, but still moderately depressing. It’s pretty fun too. I wasn’t getting annoyed at (most) fights like I did in part 1. The story, which is many people’s main problem, isn’t all that bad either. It’s just super depressing. It had me staring at the screen sometimes. There’s some happier parts too that keep the story from being way too dark. A lot of people also had a problem with Abby, but I honestly liked her. Not as much as I like Ellie, but she’s still pretty solid. My least favorite part of the story was definitely the final chapter and the ending, but it’s mostly because I didn’t like seeing Ellie like how she was. I was secretly hoping for at least a bittersweet ending, so it was really sad to see what actually happened. It’s sort of open ended like the first game’s end, but in a way I don’t exactly like. It’s also sort of weird that Ellie just lets Abby go. I’d like to think it’s because Lev was there, but I honestly have no idea. Anyways, this game is still worthwhile if you want your mind **** with. Might have to play through it a couple more times to appreciate it more or less. Expand

    Do you know why this game has been reviewed bombed?
    Because the so-called "fans" of the series are spoiled and can't even bare that a **** guy from the past game is killed by a woman. It makes me think they get a hard-on just watching Joel and wanted to be nailed by him.

The death set the tone and provided a motive, you can see the good and the bad side of both playable character which I really like about the game. The combat had a major overhaul too. The game is excellent, review bombed by people that haven't even completed the whole game. There is amazing character development too later in in the game.

    All in all the game is a masterpiece to me personally. Well done naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Честно, больше 8 баллов оценку поставить я не смогу. Я понимаю что концовка игры не должна быть какой-то примитивной и все такое, но все-же. Вообщем я хотел бы начать с самого начала, прежде всего игра мне сильно понравилась не считая некоторых аспектов, в самом начале убили Джоэла что мне ну абсолютно не понравилось, вот когда ты играешь в эту игру с каждым моментом тебе не дают желаемого, тебя просто насилуют. Эбби сделали максимально отвратной как с внешней стороны так и с плана характера. Когда в первой части тебя знакомили с новыми персонажами то сейчас разработчики просто берут и каждого поочерёдно сливают. В самом начале игры Элли - красивая, умная девушка которая живёт в поселении с приёмным отцом и их никто не трогает. После чего разработчики решили начать с того что показали тебе как будет проходить твой следующий геймплей, а это - когда ты играешь представим открываешь дверь в комнату где бьют Джоэла то тебя берут хватают и просто не дают никакой возможности им помешать, ну вот даже сам захват Джоэла в плен заключался в том что ему даже не дали шанса как то противостоять. Вообщем на протяжении всей игры Эбби пиздит Элли говоря что "Вот ваш любимый персонаж пришёл мстить за ключевого героя в Тлоу1, а мы просто ее изабьем". Вот даже сцена в театре. Эбби пробралась в театр и после чего: Оставила инвалидом Томми, убила друга Элли. Идёт битва и что в итоге?? МЫ ОПЯТЬ ЛЕЖИМ НА ПОЛУ И СМОТРИМ КАК ИЗБИВАЮТ ДИНУ..... На такой ноте я не знаю какой хэппи энд уже можно было бы вытянуть, но я думаю что то сделать можно было. После битвы: Элли и Дина живут в доме с малышом. И тут я понял как же все потеряно... И тут, меня бы устроила даже концовка как Томми убивает эбби либо один, либо с Элли. Но нет, Элли берет и отпускает Эбби, то за что были фактически отданы человеческие жизни просто просрано у одного берега. Чувство у меня от этой игры как будто тебя просто выбросили на трассу и забыли. Expand

Understandably, the game has received a lot of backlash upon its release from gamers due to the first entry's main protagonist Joel being slaughtered within the first two hours of the game. As a testament to the first entry, fans have developed a personal connection to the character of Joel and having them play as his killer adds extra salt to the wound. At the time me writing this, a major conception for fans is that what they love is sacred and as consumers they are entitled for it go unspoiled. In light of this, risky choices for franchises are generally written off as "subverting expectations" with the implication that nothing lies deeper than the desire of the writers to shock. This recent surge of narrative storytelling is generally inclusive of "diverse" (POC, LGBTIQ) characters who some members of fanbases direct their contempt of storytelling in modern media towards. For me personally TLoU (and really any franchise at large) is not a sacred cow and I'd much rather enjoy something based on the merits of what it is rather than what I think it should be. On with the review.

    Gameplay: Despite a marketing campaign built around players feeling bad for their actions, I failed to feel so every time I took an NPCs life. It is a still a videogame with stealth mechanics and weapon modding which I enjoyed playing. No matter how many shades of realism and personalising you coat NPCs with, thinking it's not fun to kill defeats the purpose of playing videogames. Admittedly the gameplay isn't too large a departure from typical Naughty Dog fare (how many **** boosts have we given during the Uncharted series?) and I found aiming to be especially grating to begin with, however as time goes on and you improve skill sets the game itself becomes more functional and enjoyable. Sure, I didn't like Abbie as a person but I probably enjoyed playing her over Ellie when utilizing a stacked weapon roster. The game has a runtime of around 25 hours and despite being a "movie game" I believe to ND's credit they included a lot of gameplay this time around. IF you were to skip all cutscenes I'd imagine there'd still be roughly 15+ hours playtime. Considering this is a third person shooter and not an RPG, that's not too bad.

    Soundtrack: Purposefully done so, the soundtrack is quite minimal with music only popping up for enemy encounters and story beats. This works to the game's favour.
    Level design: In a world of open world gaming, ND are probably one of the few AAA companies to keep at delivering a linear game experience. The levels in TLoU2 are much more expansive than usual and allow more room for optional exploration. The addition of map space leads to the world building to feel more organic and lived in. Of course players still have to get from A to B but it somewhat feels less contrived. A good majority of the game is simple wide post apocalyptic wastelands and scenic landscapes. Accompanying these with NPC aliies can be enjoyable however going through long stretches of wasteland solo can feel lonely. it is worth noting that TLoU2 is not without some of the most fantastic levels and big budget set pieces I've ever come across from AAA games at their peak. Visually the whole experience looks fantastic and in order to gain a more movie like effect, I'm personally a fan of the film grain filtering the presentation throughout.

    Story: TLoU2 is a revenge story sharing similarity with subgenre cohorts such as the Sympathy Trilogy, They Call Her One Eye etc. As a genre exercise it is cruel and nihilistic keeping in line with the genre's mainstay message that revenge hurts the one executing it just as much as the one who receives it. There are flashbacks to better times, there are reminders of the anguish the characters suffer and there is the fact that the grudge is all encompassing - preventing both Abbie and Ellie to see the love they have right in front of them. Sometimes this is heavy handed and other times its executed well. This aside, TLoU2 is wholly focused on telling its story and throughout its runtime spares little time for deviation. The majority of it feels essential to complete its structure. Now does that mean we have to agree with the characters? No. Do we have to even like the characters? No. Despite botched attempts to make you empathize, I would still argue no. I hope that one day audiences will grow to realize that fiction does not need to to tell their personal story and self inserting is erased. Maybe then, with an open mind we can bear witness to what unfolds around us and not feel the need to control it. Funnily enough that's what this game is about: control.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. HEAVY SPOILERS!!!

    First of all, I loved this game. Secondly, I am deeply disappointed with the gaming community - or maybe people in general.
    The game is daring and it tries to give a realistic presentation of what a post-apocalyptic world would be(like the first game). It ADDS a serious amount of context for the story of the first game. As a matter of fact the first one feels lacking without the context of the second because you get to know the characters’ feelings and thoughts better. The story is indeed a cycle of violence. The fact that Joel dies saddens every fan but it doesnt mean that it is an injustice to the character. Joel did many questionable things. One of them caught up to him in the end thus propelling Ellie to a new adventure. The game shows you that life is a matter of perspective. Was Abby in the wrong for wanting to get revenge and killing Joel? Was Ellie wrong for wanting the same? Did that justify killing other people indirectly involved? Was Joel in the wrong for not letting Ellie die because he viewed her as his daughter but they possibly lost the cure for the infection? All these questions and more are hard to answer and are ethical dylemmas that require you to see them from a certain perspective. So yea, in this realistic brutal world, revenge is a thing, violence is a thing and hatred is a thing. Also the fact that you see Abby’s side is important for the story and vital though I really liked Ellies playstyle way more.(she is more nimble-better suited weapons for me) People crying because Joel died seems stupid to me. The game overall improves in every way. Gameplay is really good and has evovled(and i dont get why some people say its the same). Acting, animations, graphics etc are out of this world. Ending was almost perfect for me, it gives a ray of hope in the bleak world that humanity continues to devastate. I dont know why people thought that this would be Ellie's happy adventures but this franchise was always about hardships and relationships. All in all, some people just dont own Ps4 but xbox, some have problems with lesbians and trans people( btw Abby is not trans she just goes a lot to the gym), some people are really sensitive and had false expectations and some people just like to ride the bandwagon of hate towards something. Most of the aforementioned people havent played the game let alone finished it. Or they are magicians who finished the game some hours after metacritic opened user reviews. We also have an abnormal amount of user reviews..I wonder why.
    In conclusion. I would rate this game 97-98/100. Its a masterpiece in my opinion. Maybe the best single player story driven game I have ever played. I am just really sad that people are the way the are. Makes me think that the Last of Us part II gives a clear message that applies like a glove to the real world: people are filled with hatred and that it is shown by their actions.

    One thing I've seen before I played the game was that the story was for nothing and some people died for nothing but I don't think that's the case. Everything had a reason.

    Also there is no SJW stuff in the game I don't know why people are so angry over that.

    Overall amazing game. Good characters, gameplay and it is all wrapped up with overwhelming amount of details.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have actually played this game through the beginning to the end. I’m not just some fan that’s watched a bunch of YouTube videos coming here to throw around ‘SJW’ and give it a 1/10. This game is great. Not comparable to the first, but great. The main big gripe I see with most reviews is the death of Joel. If you played the game, you would know why Joel met his demise. Put yourself in Abby’s shoes. If someone killed your father, you would go out of your way to end this persons life. That is exactly what Abby did, and in a way she’s justified in her actions even though I do have love for Joel. Joel killed her father. Abby's entire backstory is painted throughout the entirety game, so you come to understand why she feels the way she does. At the beginning of the game, I hated her. But throughout the game as you play through her sections, her backstory is fleshed out so you get a better understanding of her actions and reasonings. I came to like her almost as much as Ellie by the final scene. Joel was selfish for killing everyone at the hospital to save Ellie, but I also understand why he did. Also, for the plot holes. The only one I keep seeing is about Ellie wearing a gas mask. Again, if you played the game, you would understand because this is brought up about halfway through the game. Joel tells Ellie to always keep her mask on near spores Incase they run into another survivor. Ellie’s immunity is still a secret in this game. Towards the end of the game, after playing as both Ellie and Abby for hours and hours, I came to sympathize with the both of them. They were both doing what they thought was right because of the death of a loved one, even though Abby kept sparing Ellie’s life but Ellie could not let it go and kept going on her revenge quest which eventually in the end made her lose most things she loved. There are NO SJW themes in this game whatsoever. There is NO cult of Christians that are going around killing people because 'they're gay' like most leakers are saying. Abby has the body structure she does because ever since the day Joel killed her dad, instead of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing she's been training every single day non stop for the day she meets Joel. I would give this game an 8.5/10, but Im giving it a 10 on here to offset the people, most who haven't even played the game, giving this game a 1 for something they know nothing about. This is explained in the game. I felt bad for Ellie towards the end, but that was the predicament she kept putting herself and the people around her in over and over again. If you set out for revenge, you best dig two graves. Expand

    People are mad that this game “throws away everything the first game leads up to” but it does not at all. The story doesn’t pick up where you’d expect it to but over the course of the game you’re brought up to speed on what happened in between where the first game leaves off and this game picks up.

Ningun juego de esta generacion logro hacer en mi lo que hizo the last of us part 2, me mantuvo siempre interesado en su historia, me creo emociones encontradas, ademas de tener un exelente gameplay... despues de terminar la primera mitad del juego con Ellie y empezar a jugar con Abby pense que se habian cagado en el juego, pero ese sentimiento solo duro unos 15 minutos. La historia de abby fue muy buena, para mi concepto llego a tener momentos mas epicos que con Ellie, por ejemplo la pelea en el hospital contra el primer infectado, el momento en el que escapabas de la isla. En fin al momento de ir a pelear contra Ellie llegue hasta sentirla la mala del juego.

    Definitivamente el juego quedo abierto para una tercera entrega. Ojalá y así sea.

Without a doubt he didn't get over the first one, but I believe he got very close, while the first one talks about love and how he can rescue someone from rock bottom, the second is about hatred and how he can throw you into that well. Besides, the gameplay is great, the setting is incredible, the plot may not please the most nostalgic or “conservative” but it was a good experience and I believe it deserves an 8/10 score Expand

Having done nothing but play the game the last two days (like it was my full time job 12 hours a day plus I don’t know how anyone finished it faster then me) I am moved, I am heart broken, and I have grown. Are we the perpetrators of our own harm? That is the biggest question I’m left with having completed the game. We don’t always know the direct consequences of our actions but the consequences persist nonetheless.

    I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone (although I’m tempted to believe anyone who wanted to have this spoiled has already done so) but suffice to say this game tackles some really complex issues and raises important questions. What am I willing to do for revenge, what purpose do I have, what am I good for without such purpose, what do we do with our own trauma? No single game can ask and answer all these questions in a conclusive way, but this game takes time and moments to allow you to breath into the unease of those very hefty concepts. Was it fun? It’s hard to say, I would argue neither this game or it’s predecessor is as concerned with that as it is with you reflecting humanity and all it’s flaws in indescriminate detail. You may not love Ellie by the end of this. There are no hero’s here. The underlaid question, “does acting on the most human of impulses in trauma lead to the perpetuation of that trauma? Can we grow from this?” continues to circle in my mind. This isn’t just gaming, it’s a psych course on the effects of PTS. Putting your hands behind some heinous actions.

    But at the end of this all you’ll still want better for Ellie while understanding what trauma causes. View her kindly as she is not the sole perpetrator at fault here, an unending cycle of violence that she was born into that she knows no alternative to is the real villain at the center of this game. I’ll give her (and her counterpart) the grace of forgiveness, since the world there been built around her has not afforded her the luxury.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolutely amazing game. Yes the story is slightly disappointing in that Joel is killed before Ellie's eyes turning her in to one crazy **** on a revenge spree. They've turned the violence and gore notch to maximum and what you get is a proper cat and mouse game relying on stealth, stamina and and and a good old brain bashing with a piece of pipe or baseball bat. Sneaking around and taking down the WLF made me feel like Rambo taking out the Russians and I'm only a couple of hours in to the game yet. Can't wait to see how the story develops. I did hate the fact that there was too much LGBTQ in the storyline, about too much for my liking, but aside from that the visuals and graphics are eye candy for the eyes, it is a masterpiece that retains some of the charm from the first game and yet builds on it some more. Truly impressed. Expand
