    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es bueno no se porque odian que joel halla muerto era algo que tenia que pasar porque la trama lo indica .Sin dudar los graficos y la banda sonora son geniales.Y la historia es buena , no la mejor de un juego pero es buena , lo que no me gusta es el final de este juego que es abierto y con algunos huecos pero nada mas que un dlc o una tercera entrega que espero mejor que sea el dlc , no pierdes tu tiempo en tal la exploracion es fundamental y de seguro te vas a entretener . Para mi no es un mal juego pero tanpoco el mejor es un muy buen juego se los recomiendo Expand

    A breathtaking experience that stares at the usual conventions of revenge stories and flips them on their heads. This game asks the player not to simply look at the actions of a character but to think deeply of all that they have been through up to these moments and to question how these events have impacted the character’s choices and emotions in the moment.

This game asks the player not to simply look at the actions of a character but to think deeply of all that they have been through up to these moments and to question how these events have impacted the character’s choices and emotions in the moment. No character is two-dimensional, most are good people but have done horrific things and the game leaves it up to the player to determine whether they feel they are justified actions or not, you are not told how to feel which is an aspect I believe is rarely seen in video games and it is interesting to see the divide this has caused in the community over the past few days. The game can definitely have some pacing issues especially at the half way point but I feel they were necessary decisions to further character development and to increase the build up to certain climaxes. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and I think it is a fair contender for game of the generation. Expand

    Although not perfect, but acceptable storyline
    This is not a beautiful plot
    But in the process of the game, he has always guided players to do different reflections
    Even if the end of the game is not satisfactory
    But i can understand

    El juego en nivel de gráficos y jugabilidad es perfecto, pero la historia dejo mucho que desear esperaba más por parte del juego, la historia es cruel, creo que Joel se merecía una despedida más memorable y también ellie no se que pensaron los guionistas, felicidades a todo el equipo que hicieron este juego posible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game isn't for everyone, there are no "good guys" and there are no "bad guys". The story is about human experiences, no more, no less. The ending isn't happy but nor is it sad. I truly appreciated what they did with the game and if you let yourself experience the story that is being told you will have a wonderful time with it.

    I know everyone is sad that Joel died in the beginning but that's how it would be in reality. Personally I like it when the characters don't have plot armor so I actually feel as if anyone could die at any moment.

    Naughty Dog has done it again. The first game made me feel such intense emotion. This one does so even more. Incredible, brutal, heartwrenching. There were so many things this game made me feel that no other ever has. Every bit as good as the first, on my second playthrough now. I won't be done with this game for a long time to come!

Don’t let the negative reviews fool you liked they did I. As a huge fan of the first game since 2013, seeing articles of the spoilers of Part II & it’s characters before ever getting my hands on the game left a sour taste in my mouth and made it hard for me to enjoy playing it after I bought it on release day. But everything the internet told me was a lie (Who would’ve known) besides Joel getting killed with a golf club. Yes it made me sick at first, but honestly, whoopty **** doo. Yes, he was a beloved character and still has a near & dear spot in my gaming heart, but he really deserved his death. Ever since the end of the first one when he lied to Ellie, I knew it was coming. He became the villain & set it all in place. What they did with this game was impressive on all fronts, from the story & characters to the upgraded and elevated graphics & gameplay from the first game (which everybody loved but somehow complain about now with the 2nd when it’s literally the same execution, twice as refined with more versatility & options in combat.) The next lie is that Abby is Transexual. No. She’s a straight women who trains extensively in the gym to get a warriors physique in the sick world she lives in. You boys just aren’t grown enough to enjoy female characters you aren’t attracted to. All In all. The hate this game receives is **** criminal and I highly suggest getting the upgrade for it on PS5. Engaging, thought & emotion provoking, grotesque experience worth playing through. 10 out of 10. Expand

This is like if walking dead season 2 was rick **** dying instead of rick lumbering around for twenty seasons until you don’t give two **** about him. The people giving this game a zero are the same people complaining the gameplay is nothing new but are mad that the story isn’t more of the same. Is this game a 10? Idk, maybe. But I’m going to give it a 10 to counter the zero’s from the crybabies who watched the first 5 hours on twitch and then flooded here to review bomb the game. It deserves way more than a 3. Everything from the graphics, gameplay, and acting is all top notch. The story is risky and bold. It’s more than worth a try. Expand

    Despite what some people are claiming, identity politics is not forced at all and the story feels like a natural progression of the original instalment, except with a much darker tone overall.
    In terms of the leaks, you need to experience the story itself to understand them within context to realise how it fits into this story. This has not been handled with malice or contempt for the franchise, it feels natural and familiar, the characters we all love are still here are more fleshed out than before. I think it's fair to say that Naughty Dog decided to showcase the harsh reality of this world instead of pandering to fairytale, happy-ever-after style tropes that for some reason people seem to be wanting from this story. My advice; block out all the out-of-context hate, experience it for yourself and pay attention, that way you will probably be able to pick up on what this game is trying to showcase narratively, instead of mouth-breathing and crying about things that aren't there. Top game.

The fact that the story is being so dramatic and violent shows us that the human race is capable of anything to achieve their goals, and that's exactly what TLOU Part II tells.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a bad history of hate before it was released. So let's talk about what the haters don't like.

    Plot: There are no holes or forced paths. This game talks about psychological trauma and how if not resolved can destroy someone. We watch the evolution of the same trauma, the murder of a father, in both Abby and Ellie, and see how they resolve the demons that torment them. The theme of this game is not only the futility of revenge but a commentary on how psychological trauma can reshape us if not treated. The last 2 hours of the plot are pure Shakespearean drama in videogame form, the only way someone can disparage the plot of this game is because they never opened a book in their life (or read too many mangas...)

    Sex: Sex in this videogame does 2 things, first it's not a pure show of flesh (that's why Sony didn't censor it unlike in other games), second it serves the purpose with Ellie to create a progression in her relationship with Dina, in Abby instead ND wants to depict something that happens in real life when you don't resolve your feelings for an ex. I can understand that all the incels out there have no idea of what I'm talking but please start reading something other than mangas, it' not that hard.

    Gameplay: Similar to the first game, I expected more improvement but in the end, we cannot have ND employees slaved for our entertainment (more than they are already). The game is playable and fun with some well-placed jump scares.

    Politics: What politics? the only themes that you may think are political are: Ellie and Dina's relationship, really? In 2020 you think living free your sexuality it's political, please **** go kiss your waifu. Abby is practically mister muscle, this one even I don't' know where the **** it's political, she's a soldier... being in shape is a sin for the right?
    Lev is trans, oh my, if even the SCOTUS with a majority of conservatives ruled that you can't be fired if you're LGBT+ can we all agree that in 2020 finally, we are all nearly equal under the law? And that trans people deserve to live their life how the **** they want and not by your expectations? After the tirade... First GOOD representation of a trans character in a videogame...
    The cult, ok children let me tell you what happens with religious fanatism, something like all the **** since 2001? And please, don't try to sell my the lie that one religion is better than the other, fanatics are all the same.

    So, why people hate this game? Because it's not a game for children or pubescent teenagers, it's a game for people that have lived a little outside mommy house and have experienced life hardships and that can recognize them. It's not a game for everyone, yes, but in the end, it is a masterpiece, like the first game it can talk to your soul if you don't have the emotional range of an amoeba.
    Oh and it's a game for people with a brain... (ND there is were you went wrong...)

    So let see if ND learned to not overwork people for the next game.

    Oh yes, since I already smell the stench of unwashed, never left home, waifu lover-boy, trying to paint me as a lefty, I'm not, I'm a very proud capitalist who loves that welfare exists to bring equality to all (I'm a centrist, **** I forgot your mental abilities). Think a little about that, or not please, your minds scare me.

    I have just finished the game I thought it was very good, but understand why some people are upset the ending makes sense, in my opinion, but isn't what some people wanted. I would recommend playing this game, but be aware it's not a happy game and not really an adventure it's melancholy, if not straight up depressing. I don't feel like it was bitter sweet, like the first, and I

    I have just finished the game I thought it was very good, but understand why some people are upset the ending makes sense, in my opinion, but isn't what some people wanted. I would recommend playing this game, but be aware it's not a happy game and not really an adventure it's melancholy, if not straight up depressing. I don't feel like it was bitter sweet, like the first, and I doubt I can play through it again for a while if at all. I think the reason I liked it and others didn't was because I was able to empathize with a a character others could not. I can't fault them for that either.

    Edit 1: TLDR: Still very enjoyable. the rating I should give it is a 9, but I won't to offset the abundance of 0s

    I'm now at a little over 10 hours I think this game feels very much like the first. Some of the other reviews I saw pointed that out too. They seem to point to this as a negative, but I disagree. The first game was extraordinary, and I think this sequel continues this. It is visually beautiful and the dynamic between Ellie and Dina is enjoyable. It's different than that of the First, since the relationship to Ellie is very different. The story is still engaging. I was at the edge of my seat at a few points.
    I do have a few issues however, there have been a few visual glitches and the game crashed once, which takes away enough enjoyment that I should take away a point. The only reason I am not is the excess of overly negative ratings. I can understand distaste for the story, but I don't think that is really why it is being barraged. Unless the story is so uninspired later I can't see any major complaints with the story. Sure a revenge plot can be called cliche, but there is enough of a hero's journey to enjoy.

    TLDR: So far a very fun game

    I've put in 2 hours and 30 minutes so far, so this rating may be subject to change, but I really don't see what people are complaining about. So far I'm invested in the story. One could argue that this could be a bias carried over due to falling in love with the characters in the original that caused this investment, but I am invested nonetheless. So far it feels like the Winter section of the original game in atmosphere, both physically and mentally.

One of best animations in all time, and the best facial expressions ever. Great desing levels, and a big upgrade in the AI.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In general, TLOU Part 2 is a good game. I don't know if it is a worthy sequel to The Last of Us 1, but it is good.

    The Story was not as bad as most reviews are telling you.

    Yes, Joel dies. Okay, he dies in a shameful way, can't deny this. But the story builds on that fact, that Joel was killed with a golf club.

    The more you play, the more the game is an emotional roller coaster. Sometimes I really hated TLOU2, sometimes I absolutely loved it. In the end, the Game is worth the AAA-Price of 60$.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So game could have been better in some aspects but here we go. Im gonna explain what I think the ending means. So it all started at the hospital in the first game. Joel killed so many ppl and basically everyone in the hospital. Now in Last of Us Part 2 Joel killing spree ends up catching up to him and he dies in the hands of Abby because he killed her dad which was one of the surgeons. It was actually really realistic the way he died because he cant kill all those ppl he was gonna get killed eventually by some one. I mean it is the Last of us after all. Well after that Ellie goes on a absolute killing spree doing exactly what Joel was doing in the first. Hunting down. Many WLF members. Then Ellie and Abby face off at Santa Barbara and clash. To many ppls surprize Ellie tells Abby to go and just leave. The reason for this is because she had enough of the fighting and realized that all the fighting wouldnt bring Joel or any of them back. It was a cycle it all started with Joel and moved on to Ellie and then killing Abby would lead to Lev killing Ellie in the future potentially. She had enough. To me it makes sense. The reason I gave it a 9 cause no game is ever perfect. I feel some things could have been improved upon. But yeah thats my review. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. That was one emotional rollercoaster. I knew this game was going to be rough but that really hit me hard in the feels.
    I really enjoyed it and before the end I thought I'd immediately replay it, but I think I need to give it some time before I put myself through that again.
    As a fan of the first game I had very high hopes for Part 2 and it did not disappoint.

    I really enjoyed the first half of the game.
    I think the gameplay has been improved upon drastically. The first game always felt a bit clunky, and while Part 2 isn't perfect, it was so much smoother.
    It was heartbreaking to see this darker and far more serious Ellie (it makes sense, but gone is the little pun-loving girl from Part 1) and every time I'd sneakily kill someone and she'd slit their throat my heart ached a little bit looking at the pain and hatred on her face. That's another thing that was superbly done: the facial animations! Bravo Naughty Dog!
    I thought the introduction of Dina was a great move! I found her very likeable and I'm glad she was with Ellie. Their conversations when you're travelling together are wonderful.

    Now, I enjoyed the second half of the game also, when you play as Abby, BUT I just couldn't care for Abby. I wanted to! I really wanted to like her, but just as I'd start to warm to her she'd do or say something that took me back to disliking her again. I totally get her reasons for killing Joel (Joel wasn't perfect either and killed so many people, same with Ellie) but I just couldn't get on board with her. When playing as Ellie I would hate seeing her die (and man, I died A LOT in this game) but when playing as Abby when she died I just didn't care. I did enjoy the second half of the game though but I did catch myself at one point wishing for Abby's story to be over so I could get back to playing as Ellie, and let me tell you that never happened in the first game or when playing as Ellie in Part 2. I also found Abby's quest dragged for a bit too long. I know we had to stay with her for that amount of time in order to sympathise with her and appreciate she has some redeeming qualities, but I just couldn't get on side. She annoyed me to be quite honest. I will say I don't think Abby was a bad person all in all, she let Ellie and Tommy go TWICE, she saved Yara and Lev and turned on her own people to protect them, so she wasn't an outright dick... but I didn't like her. I wanted to but I just didn't.

    I think the decision to switch to Abby halfway was a very ballsy and interesting move. It definitely made me think about the violence that everyone in this world inflicts on each other. There are no "good guys" or "bad guys", just people trying to survive. When you have to fight Ellie as Abby it made me realise that to some people (Abby etc) Ellie isn't a good guy in the same way as Abby isn't a good guy to some (Ellie etc).
    I think too many fans are expecting a black and white story, where you have the "goodies" and the "baddies" but that isn't the world of The Last of Us. Naughty Dog have created a complex world with complex characters and it pays off.

    I consider myself decent at video games and played this on Moderate and died A LOT! So either I'm not as good as I thought or ND have improved the AI so much that even Moderate is difficult.
    I loved fighting enemies in this game! They're so much smarter than the first - I'm mainly talking about the human enemies. The way they communicate with each other and will flank you I thought was excellently done. I also found when being shot it really knocked me back so much that I'd have to scramble to try and get back up before they'd pump another bullet in me. I like that you can't just charge enemies if they're firing at you because you will, most likely, die. It made me really think about how I would take them on. The way enemies will actively look for you, looking under and over objects, was very well done. I couldn't stay still for long and it constantly kept me on my toes.
    I also liked that there are waves of enemies. In TLOU once you cleared enemies, that was it. But as TLOU2's map is so much bigger it allows for a constant flow of enemies which was great!
    Hitting someone with a weapon was very satisfying and felt "real" (not that I find hitting people in real life satisfying... but you get the jist).

    I've read some of the user reviews on Metacritic giving this game a 0/10 yet will praise the gameplay and graphics. How can you score something 0 when there are parts of it you rate? It doesn't make sense. I think too many people are hurt that Joel was killed and then they scored the game low without even finishing the story or trying to understand the message this game is giving us.
    Overall, I'd give The Last of Us Part II a 7.5 (verging on 8) out of 10. Not perfect by any means, but one I shall be replaying for years to come.

    The last of us Part2 is a Narrative driven, stealth-action game that introduces and delivers on heavy thematic messages. Such as when is ok to antiquate vengeance with justice, how far do we fall till we become our enemies or something worst, and what truly separates the "them from the "us".

    When it comes to sound design and score, a already unsettling game because down right unnerving.

    When it comes to sound design and score, a already unsettling game because down right unnerving. And truly aims to emerse the player, into feelings of love, innocence, hate, sorrow, terror, and despair when required. As far as as visuals go The Last of Us Part 2 is beautiful, I played the game on a PS4 pro.
    Graphics and Frame rates were steady, smooth, and crisp, environments sought to emulate that of the real world and when violence is introduced the game becomes hyper real to an extent in the way way blood splatters and the visceral natures of the kills became hyper real. Although I did experience a glitch that distorted the face of a character halfway in the game, but I just had to restart my PS4 and haven't experienced any more probelms since.

    Gameplay can be challenging but nothing that is to difficult to over come, one thing the game has going for it, is that unlike in most games of this genre the A.I here (both enemy and allies) make smart decisions. Though sometime it does feel like enemies can spot the player even when not possible depending on the difficulty. Gun play and overall action is emersive and has kick and weight to it when you either shooting or stabbing.


    As for the story, it is not perfect and not everyone will enjoy it. I myself was not a fan until 5-6 Horus in I was able to realize the narrative and themes to be set forth (as mentioned above) It truly requires the player to use perspective in the matter, and to view the characters not as characters but as people, that are not to be simply classified as good or evil. Their choices will never be stagnant require thought to see into.

    Overall I spent 32 hours playing The last of us Part2, it was not a perfect experience nor truly great but very enjoyable non the less if the player is truly willing to put the work in, and not see the story from one particular view point but to use perspective. For me the game is on verge of a soft 8 and a hard 7, but ultimately lands on a 8, truly a game that blurs the line between a movie experience and a gaming experience.
