The scenario has displeased a lot of people, including me at times, and that's also where I think the game excels. naughty dogs knew very well when writing the scenario that it would make a lot of people talk and not necessarily in a good way, but they went in that direction anyway. It's a risk taking that can only be rewarded. I never thought a video game would be able to convey that kind of emotion. GOTY… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished this game months ago and wrote a review but unfortunately it was too long for Meta Critic, so I felt like I didn't want to post a review because so many things need to be said and my review need to be shortened so much that it missed important points about the game....so I had some time to think about it and re-wrote it.
            The Last Of Us Part 2 reflects the news before launch, where one half of the studio wanted to make TLOU 2 and the other wanted to wanted to leave the franchise and make something new. This game essentially meets those two ideas together, it gives a true ending to the TLOU 1 whilst starting a new story in same world and having a few familiar faces along the journey to comfort you.         If you're feeling hate, anger and pain then Neil has done his job. Neil Druckmann said that this game was about hate all those years back at Paris game week and he has delivered on that, the idea of this story is to make you feel grief but then conflicted by Abbie's story at the same time. I need to play this game one more time to platinum it but I can't do it emotionally because the pain I feel seeing Joel, not just dying but in the happy moments, challenging moments and his worst moments portrayed via flashbacks, is just too hard and this is how powerful the storyline in the TLOU part 2 is.
          Its unfortunate that Neil Druckmann had to endure Antisemitic tweets after doing his job so well and this NOT acceptable. Same goes for Laura Bailey receiving death threats. Such a shame the horrible people out there and controversy around the game has tainted my memory around this beautiful game.         All in all the Last Of Us 2 is incredible, its a true modern day masterpiece bought to us in a new form of media. Its up there with other media masterpieces like Shaw Shank Redemption, Green Mile, Titanic,Forest Gump, Harry Potter books or The Lord Of The Rings books,  in that they are all experiences you need to experience before you die. 100% Recommend    … Expand

    O jogo que mais me proporcionou experiências, que mais me colocou em imersão, que conseguiu fazer eu me sentir culpado pelas minhas próprias decisões. Sem dúvidas The Last Of Us 2 vai ficar na história.
    Meu parâmetro de jogos de história tá totalmente ferrado agora, parece que nunca vou achar uma jogo que me proporcione as mesmas emoções que esse jogo proporcionou.
    Eu sei que muita gente não gostou, mas como o próprio criador disse que era um jogo que nem todos iam amar, não sou eu que vai mudar a opinião de vocês em relação a ele. Só quero registrar o quanto esse jogo me marcou. Mesmo quem não gostou tem que admitir que graficamente, e a mensagem que o jogo passa é uma coisa totalmente linda de se ver...
    (lembrando que o Joel nunca foi herói, não considerem ele como um). Vi alguma pessoas preconceituosas em relação ao relacionamento da Ellie e a Dina, e para esse pessoal não tem oq falar, não somos nós que vamos mudar o jeito de pensar deles.

    La muerte de joel, se veia venir desde el primer juego.
    Naughty dog dijo que este juego no iba a ser del agrado de todos.
    El mensaje de este juego no es solo "la venganza no es buena". Sino que tambien trata de hacernos ver, cuán egoustas podemos ser, por algo en específico. Ellie, es verdad que se dio cuenta muy tarde, de que se estaba perdiendo a ella misma. Se dio cuenta en la peor situación. Pero el mensaje es más como: "ellie, buscaba el perdón de joel, en matar a abby, pensaba que si la mataba, iba a tener el perdón de alguien que ya ni vivo estaba. Perdió sus dos dedos, que era la única conexion con joel que le quedaba, ¿Porque? Porque podía tocar la guitarra, y ese era el vínculo que conectaba con joel."

Ignore all others discounting this because of" Shock value" or "being woke" if you played the first game it starts with your daughter dying and Ellie accepting being Gay in a **** up apocalyptic world. Nothing in that aspect has changed so it acknowledges the first game in that aspect. If your afraid of gay characters this is not the game for you and you should have bigger problems with people being people. Love the game for the relatable story in those circumstances and have a great time. 10/10… Expand

    All those who give the game a minimum rating, half did not go through the plot to the end, and the other half did not buy the game at all. Personally, I am delighted with the game. Of course, the sequel is no better than the first part, but he definitely does not deserve all the negativity that hit him.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Making a sequel to a beloved game is always a difficult task. In most cases, sequels are bad and never reach the technical quality of the first game. The Last of Us Part II is a rare exception to that rule.

    GAMEPLAY

    The gameplay is similar to the first game, but it contains reinventions and a few changes. Such as: The dodge and the jump. The weapon upgrade system is much more satisfying than it's predecessor. With a wide arrange of weapons, upgrading each and every single one of them, change not only the aesthetic but the way you play it. The jump button is very important to the level design of the game, since now, you have a traversal option to approach the enemies. I found the dodge thoroughly entertaining, it adds to the frenetic and fast paced combat of the game.

    PACE

    The pacing of the game is adequate. It fits into the story, and it shows how Naughty Dog has grown in this particular aspect. Since previous games of the company had some pacing issues such as Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us. I'm really happy to see that Naughty Dog made her homework.

    ENVIRONMENT

    Naughty Dog's level design was always very inspired. In this game, it reaches a whole other level. Non linear sequences add to the feel of the post apocalyptic world of the game and also reward the ones who explore. With collectibles and unique sequences that add to the overall meaning of the story. Seattle, the city where you play most of the game only proves that Naughty Dog is amazing in it's art direction.

    STORY

    The story of The Last of Us Part II is Amazing. It follows Ellie in a quest for revenge and Abby (the new character) in a quest for redemption. The narrative talks about a lot of different themes. Such as: Empathy, Hate, Love, Legacy, Redemption, Sacrifice... the list goes on. Nothing in this game happens for free. Everything has a meaning or meanings. It's really about deconstructing the characters we know.

    PERFORMANCES

    Ashley Johnson kills as Ellie, giving a career defining performance that is sure to change acting in videogame forever. Laura Bailey is the star of the game, she carries Abby's character arc forward and made me love the character even more than I thought I would. Troy Baker destroys as the intimidating but charming Joel.

    The Last of Us Part II is a sequel made in spectacular fashion that not only respects the story of the first game while also adds to it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you don't end up moved, truly hurt by this story, you haven't played it the way you should have. Every person that end up hating the game, saying it ruined the legacy of the last of us, makes it even more logical that this game is a pure success. The level of storytelling here is above anything ever done before. ND went all the way, without a flinch. They knew the user reviews will be divided. ND made it that way, by going through this hurtful story, you end up learning that Joel, our beloved Joel and all the **** up **** he did in his past, he had to pay for it. The payment is salty af, but Joel knew it. He lived as long as he could with his burden and remorse, even if as he said, " if somehow, the lord gave me a second chance, I'll do it all over again." The love he carried and still carry for his "adopted" daughter, Ellie, is the reason why he did all these things to the fireflies, we all know that, for those of us who've played the last of us. But we had never seen all the damage Joel made by saving Ellie. In TLOU part 2, we get to see all the damages it did to the fireflies and how it destroyed the hope they had to make a cure and save humanity. Joel and his selfish choice doomed us. But because in the last of us, we're playing Joel, we don't get mad at this. we're some sort like "well **** the world, Ellie prevails on everyone!". In some way, we all end up acting as jerks against our own humanity. And the last of us part 2 slaps that reality into our face after 7 years of waiting, of being okay with that selfish choice. 7 years of preparation to put us back in our place and to teach us that life isn't fancy even in a game, that our actions always have consequences and we all have personal responsibilities for them.
    The magnificent overlay of Abby and Ellie's time line in Seattle creates a deep realism, as we flow and end up fighting against Ellie, as being Abby. As a game of the mouse and the cat. except we're playing both hunter.
    ND went deeply into characters story realism and into Ellie's trauma, providing us some of the best representation of a feeling, the loss.
    The whole game play is articulated around the loss, the wound that it left, the denial and the anger then the acceptance, letting go all the pain, to be left with a void to be filled. All this, not clearly showed, but it is all this story is about. Acceptance of the loss, and getting over the trauma. We all lost a loved one, Joel was a pillar to us, and his death as some of you though, was like a bus hitting us right in the face.
    To avenge Joel, Ellie lost everything. She lost and best friend, Jesse, she lost her love, Dina and JJ, and she lost the ability to play guitar, a skill she learned through Joel, a bond she lost the moment Abby bite her fingers. But the last picture from the window with the moth carved in the guitar and Ellie walking away in the background, without looking back, is a blurry way to show us she keeps on going. Everything that happened, is over now. We'll see what's next in a maybe part 3.    … Expand

    #2 Other people are review bombing the game because they don’t agree with the game’s story and narrative choices. In my opinion it’s completely unfair to review a game “solely” based on the the narrative choices of the game creative director. Other major factors should be examined Ana analysed before coming to any conclusions.

    And now to the review:

    The Last Of Us 2 8.0 / 10


    Pros (+)

    - Amazing Graphics : I can undoubtedly say that this game is the best looking PlayStation 4 game so far.

    - Solid Gameplay: The gameplay has been significantly expanded on with new mechanics , weapons, and tools at your disposal - Highly Polished Game : I didn’t encounter any bugs or glitches in the 25+ hours of playing the game. The game also ran at a steady 30 FPS with no noticeable frame drops.

    - New unique Factions with their own story, beliefs , ideas , and personal struggles - The game feels more open and less linear compared to the first game with more sandbox like environments in the world.

    - The Environmental story telling in this game is the best so far in the entire industry. Every building , house , and room feel lived in and has a story to tell.

    - Gustavo Santaolalla does a wonderful job as the game’s soundtrack composer. The soundtrack this time around can be considered at the same level , if not better than the first game. - The writers take a massive risk with their bold attempt at exploring very dark and vengeful themes. I personally think that the overall theme of the game helped to distinguish TLOU2 from the first game. —————————————————————

    Cons (-) - The pacing of the story felt unorganised and in some cases annoying. It’s very clear that some parts of the story felt very unreasonable and unnatural compared to the first game. - Too many new characters were Introduced (10 new characters or more) and unfortunately some of them were either un-memorable or weren’t given enough screen time. It’s also clear that some characters didn’t get the character development that they deserved. This is expected when you introduce too many new characters that lack proper character development due to time constraints.

    - The game felt too long , I think the game could’ve been fine if it was as long as the first one instead of stretching the game into the 20-30 hours territory. ————————————————————-

    Verdict: 8/10 I personally believe that this game would’ve gotten a 9 or 10 if the storytelling was re-arranged in a more chronological manner similar to the the first game. I also believe that game’s overall experience could’ve been significantly enhanced if some characters were better written and had a longer screen time.

    This game , as the media describes it , is a “Flawed Masterpiece” and I think this term appropriately describes what TLOU2 really is.

    I personally think you should play this game , even if you don’t agree with its themes and narrative, it’s still worth your time.    … Expand

To receive the full effect of the story you have to play through the entire thing for yourself. The people who hate Abby and are complaining about playing as her have either not played the game enough or at all and/or are too tunnel-visioned to accept it. The game shows you Abby’s motivations for killing Joel, and even though I’m not happy he’s dead, I totally understand it. Abby wanted to take revenge on her father’s killer just as Ellie is doing. Abby and Ellie actually have more in common than meets the eye. They both have extremely similar motives. In contrast with most people, I actually grew to like Abby just as much as Ellie. They show that she’s not just a brute-like monster that killed one of the most beloved video game characters of all time. They give her depth and characterize and in doing so, bring to life a new beloved character. They also show how she grows as person and sets aside the ruthless killer she once was. People are complaining because they can’t and won’t understand the complex story Naughty Dog is trying to tell. They are showing that Joel and Ellie are villains from one perspective, while they are seen as heroes from another. The same goes for Abby. No one is totally innocent, and no one is entirely a villain. Things are not merely black and white like you see in many games. I honestly thought the story was much more complex and interesting than the first one. You are introduced to many more perspectives and motivations and characters who are as complex as they are interesting. Of course the gameplay and graphics were amazing as well (though that shouldn’t have to be said about a Naughty Dog game). Nothing huge has changed gameplay-wise from the first game, they’ve changed it up enough to feel fresh like the addition of the jump button. Overall, this is a game that has to be played from start to finish to get the full effect. Do NOT listen to hate from the internet. This game MUST be played start to finish period. If you’re willing to give it a chance then you’ll see Naughty Dog has yet again created something very special in The Last of Us Part II.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I suppose its not a spoiler anymore, but yeah Joel dies. And after a while you get to play as his killer for 10 hours or so.
    It was a shock. When Joel got killed I was left staring at my screen, controller on the floor. Halfway through the game I get to play as Abby(the killer). I didn't like the idea. I didn't wanna play as her.
    10 hours later, seeing the world of the game through her eyes, I was surprised that not only she grew on me, but I got to root for her! That's a story we'll made for me. I get it that's not for everyone. I get that some fans will hate it. But yes, you are allowed to not like the story of the game! And trust me I am a fan of the first one, and the Left Behind DLC. I loved Joel. I loved his relationship with Ellie. It did brought tears to my eyes. During the first game, during Joel's murder and during the flashbacks. I don't know if I can forgive Abby. But I'm willing to try.
    Story wise aside(which I personally loved), the gameplay is awesome. It's an improvement of the first game. I don't get all the negative reviews calling it **** gameplay wise, because its like TLOU but better. And no matter howuch I love the first one, I'm not sure that another road trip with Ellie and Joel is what the series needed. That story was told. That story made us cry and get attached to characters. And now it s time for a new story. That(personally made me cry again and get attached to new characters), might not be for anyone I get that but oh well. That's my 2p.For those who hate the game, fair play. For those who loved it, I get you! For those who haven't played it, give it a chance and judge by yourself!    … Expand

    Secondly, it shines a light on the unbelievable lack of empathy in our modern lives. People are just so unwilling to see the world from someone else's perspective that they're prepared to send death threats to actors who portray characters in a story. Shame on them.

    Naughty Dog's storytelling in this game is just beyond anything I've ever played, and being a part of it makes it so much more connected than any film or a book. The emotion this story brings out in people (positive and negative) is so intense and raw that it leaves a huge mark. I don't know what more there is to ask from a piece of entertainment.

So, it is very sad that this game got review-bombed to hell due to leaks that ranged from either totally false, misleading, and/or out of context. Many of these negative reviews were put up within hours of the game being released when it should have taken well over a day (without food or pee breaks) to even complete the game, let alone contemplate it enough to write a review. However, if you are still considering playing this game, don't let the negative user reviews mislead you. Understand that TLOU 2 is a dark and mature piece of fiction, but give it a chance. I'm not joking when I say I think this game is a masterpiece.

    The gameplay doesn't change up a whole lot from what already worked in the original game, but it still adds some welcome new mechanics that give the player more freedom and choices. In addition, Naughty Dog has included a plethora of accessibility options so that pretty much anyone can enjoy the game. They've also put a technical marvel on display here! From the graphical fidelity, the motion capture, the incredible animation and acting, the riveting musical score, those hilariously realistic rope physics, and the terrific sound mixing, TLOU 2 does it all better than any previous Naughty Dog game. Actually, it does that all better than any game I've ever played! Not to mention it does it all at a very stable 30fps at 1080p or 1440p depending on your console.

    The sense of atmosphere is also an incredible feat. In fact, there are many moments where the sense of dread and anxiety might be overwhelming for those not accustomed to such intense games. TLOU 2 mostly takes place in a harsh cordycep-infested Seattle, where most of the residents have only survived as long as they have by being ruthless and cruel, and for you to survive, this game will require you to be the same. These residents of Seattle have divided into factions and appear to be locked in an endless cycle of violence with one another. While not everyone within is ruthless and cruel, the ones that are often have more than enough determination and resources to do as they please, regardless of the consequences.

    The pacing and editing here is also master-class and unique. There are a number of flashback sequences this game has to juggle, and each sequence involves different perspectives, characters, and years. Yet, each flashback arrives at the perfect moment in the story and avoids the pitfall of becoming messy and confusing. With each flashback, a new layer of the story will peel back and earlier story beats may now make more sense or have new depth added to them.

    With all that said, let's talk about the story, the source of all the vitriol and controversy. In my opinion, the story here is vastly superior to the already excellent story of the original TLOU. It has more emotional impact, the characters have more depth, and the stakes are much higher and more personal. TLOU 2 is presented as a revenge story and while revenge is important since it is the fuel that drives our characters (to some seriously dark and disturbing places, I might add), it is reductive to claim the story is nothing more than: "Revenge Bad". TLOU 2 actually tackles many complicated themes such as love, grief, forgiveness, tribalism, individuality, humanity, and obsession. As I said earlier, the story is also edited in a very unique and interesting way that I believe only a video game could succeed at. Suffice it to say, the story will have you actively engaged and you will find yourself pushing forward, eager to learn more.

    Well, for most of you anyways, and that's the true tragedy of all this. This game is releasing in one of the most divisive and toxic times in recent history. TLOU 2 includes powerful female leads and LGBTQ+ characters in its story and for some bigots that proved unacceptable. The most generous and forgiving explanation I have to explain the rest of the backlash is that the story simply wasn't what some people wanted. However, to say this game has a "bad story" is simply wrong. Objectively, the story of TLOU 2 is quite brilliant! Naughty Dog took much bigger risks here and they clearly had their minds made up on what kind of story they wanted to tell, and in my opinion they delivered. Yes, the story broke my heart at times and made me cry, but it also made me smile and laugh and instilled a sense of hope. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time a game affected me so! Sure, the story is dark and intense and that won't be to everyone's liking, and it may not be to yours, but after finishing it, you cannot say it was told poorly. I loved The Last of Us and I loved its sequel. If you played the first game and loved it, as long as you approach the sequel with an open mind, I'm sure you'll love it too.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Responding to the hate

    1. What's wrong about having a lesbian protagonist? A transgender character? or a strong buff woman like Abby? Nothing because representation matters.

    2. THAT scene in the first few hours. The point was to have Ellie & the player witness a brutal event for what happens afterwards which is the pursuit of revenge. It was the consequence to Part 1's ending and it was executed in a disrespectful way? on some level yes but this is TLOU, a unforgiving world where you're just surviving. He was acting out of character? Well it has been 5 years since settling in Jackson and patrols are to clear out the area and recruit new survivors? He isn't a smuggler anymore and people change.

    3. Bad/Lazy Writing: On my playthrough I failed to notice any of it. Nothing off and do you know Neil Druckmann is brilliant as he wrote Part 1 but also Uncharted 4 which also became the best one since 2?

    4. False Advertising? That is normal in this type of media along with Films to avoid spoilers so yes it is misleading but doesn't you should trust it. The leaks were unfortunate but it was proven to be by a Hacker and not some angry employee.

    5. Crunch: Yes crunch is also usual but this time almost everyone was passionate about making it that even tho the Director told them to not work so hard, they continued by their choice.

    6. The Ending: IMO I thought it was a fitting way to end the journey & I doubt after playing 10+ Hours as Abby and going through change with her Redemption Arc was gonna end up with her fate which was actually the original ending but I'm glad ND changed it as it is more open for a possible Part 3.

    7. Ruined the Franchise? it has been said years ago that Part 1 Fans aren't going to like this. This story was worth telling because it was a concept landed on and also continues the Ending from Part 1 which is the reason this is called Part 2. The character flashbacks did it justice especially the museum. Ellie in part 1 really wanted a meaningful death but finds out the truth so the flashbacks show the worst of times and the best moments. How was it ruined? lol

    8. Paid Shills? Critics gave a good score because it was their own review. I even hear that being paid off to give a good score is even illegal.

    9. User scores tell a different story. 5/10 = not accurate, Metacritic still hasn't implemented a way to verify if you own something so this was review bombed even the second the game released. Impossible to finish. It's true the 10/10's could be bombed. but the Negative ones are far more with the Bombing.

    10. The Director self insert himself? Yes Manny does look like him but Neil never did any Mocap. He even shouted out the actor so that claim is false.    … Expand

    Without a doubt an amazing game! Went it to it cautiously due to the mixed reviews but having completed it I realised all the negative reviews are due to the snowflake generation we live in.
    The game does perfectly what’s its supposed to, which is show a post apocalyptic world in all its grittyness and portrays the characters you play and meet in exactly that light.

    The game does perfectly what’s its supposed to, which is show a post apocalyptic world in all its grittyness and portrays the characters you play and meet in exactly that light.
    Revenge is big tone of the game but naughty dog does an amazing job with it and manages to make you (the player) slowly and grudgingly forgive a character you hate so much! This ties in perfectly with the story and that is commendable.
    Some people say the ending wasn’t satisfying but really what did you expect... it’s a game about the end of the world, not everything is going to have a happy ending with people dancing into the suns set. Personally i feel the ending suits this world perfectly....

    Talking about gameplay I mean just WOW, playing any other game now feels bland with the mechanics and attention to detail in the world that I’ve been spoilt with in the last of us 2. The game plays so smoothly and fluently just like the first and honestly it’s so impressive that I couldn’t find a single bug which is impressive alone judging by the amount of bugs you see in new games now.

    This isn’t a fan boy review. As I said I came into this game leaning more towards the idea that I will hate it but really I couldn’t find anything my mind was maybe subconsciously looking for to prove my these thought right. The game is another hit and it’s a real disservice and discouraging to developers who dedicate their life into this sort of amazing work and try hard to give you a “real life” story and just not a perfect happy ending like most games today which cater to the snowflakes.

    Play it! You’re missing out if you believe all the cry babies and pass on it!    … Expand

Слеза не упала ни разу, да и не падала никогда при прохождении игр. Стоп, сейчас давайте без спойлеров, пожалуйста, я уверен что ей ещё есть где упасть. Хочется сказать огромное спасибо всем художникам, аниматорам, звуковикам, примите мои соболезнования, я понимаю как это, сам разработчик. Они проделали огромную и тяжёлую работу, на твёрдую десятку, с учётом железа для которого они всё это делали. Игра далеко не шедевр, и далеко не самая плохая, она не заслуживает ни 10 ни 3 бала. Если спросите сколько бы я ей поставил... Лично я бы поставил 8 балов, не знаю справедливо ли это, так как понимаю какие бурления вызвала эта игра в сообществе игроков. Я сам считал эту игру таким говнищем когда посмотрев некоторые моменты игры, и посмотрев многие видео на эту тему, прочитав многие мнения в интернете. Я собирался смотреть прохождение чтобы покекать с глупостей и побомбить, но словил себя на мысли, что всё не так уж и плохо как может показаться на первый взгляд.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Не понимаю бомбежки по поводу игры. Сюжет неоднозначный, тяжёлый, но смелый. Ждал ли я такого продолжения? Определённо нет. Я хотел увидеть как Элли и Джоэл после всех пройденных испытаний уезжают в закат. Счастливые, в обществе друг друга, Вместе. Но у мистера Дракмана на этот счёт были несколько другие планы. Как итог - после прохождения, игра не выходила из головы неделю. Думал о персонажах, об их поступках, об их мотивации... Сильнейшее эмоциональное погружение, Браво! И хоть в процессе (а именно во второй половине) я возненавидел игру, на финише моё мнение и восприятие полностью изменилось - стало понятно зачем это всё было и почему. И я полюбил The Last Of Us part 2. Обязательно пройду ещё раз. И да, играть лучше в оригинале, с субтитрами. Многим неудобно, но всё же - оно того стоит. Эшли Джонсон, Трой Бэйкер и Лаура Бэйли прекрасны. Актёрская игра в этом приключении, конечно, решает))… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account here just to give my opinion on this game. I see nothing but hate for having to play as Abby and people giving low scores because a beloved character was killed within hours of starting the game. That one scene should not warrant a low score! Everything about this game is phenomenal. The graphics, the music, the tension and the emotional roller coaster it took me on will never leave my mind. This story in this game kept me awake at night thinking about what is going to happen next or finding reasoning why a character did the things they did. The writers and directors clearly had a vision for this game and what transcended was an experience that not even a movie could make me feel. Seeing the story unfold from two different perspectives and seeing the two main characters juggle the same issues was awesome. Do yourself a favor and play this game and do not listen to all the crybabys badging the game! Life is not always rainbows. Bad things happen to innocent, good people everyday. This game is a masterpiece! Play it!… Expand

    Sin duda uno de los juegos de la generación. Como era de esperarse a nivel sonido, ambientación y gameplay es uno de los mejores juegos de PS4. Mención aparte para el apartado gráfico / técnico donde ND hace magía y nos da las mejores visuales que un juego puede tener en 2020 y todo corriendo en una consola que tiene ya 7 años. Realmente increíble.

Realmente increíble.
    La historia es super interesante, intensa y contada de una manera bastante original. Claramente no será del agrado de todos, ya que se aleja muchísimo del fan service y de los lugares seguros (En mi caso agradezco que así sea)
    El único punto flojo del juego es que dentro de las 30 horas que dura, en algunos momentos (muy pocos igualmente) pierde ritmo cuando hace que el personaje vaya de un punto A a un punto B. Esto se podría haber resumido en una cinemática (como hacía TLOU1) Sin embargo, suma por el lado de sentir que la historia día a día está ocurriendo en tiempo real.
    Es un juego que recomiendo no perderse ya que cierra la generación actual con un nivel altísimo.
    Evitar dejarse llevar por la gran cantidad de reseñas falsas / spam que hay en esta pagina, alcanza con solamente leer un buen par de las que tienen como nota de 0 a 4 y ver que son de personas que jamás probaron el juego. Sino que siguen repitiendo cosas de los falsos leaks de meses atrás. (historias subidas a reddit y otros foros)    … Expand

    For the actual review, this is one of the best games i have ever played, along with its predecessor. The studio behind this series doesn't disappoint as this one is just as majestic as the original and a true sequel to the first game. The brilliant story telling, beautiful visuals and enhanced gameplay dynamics which allow for more exploration and a more open world feel during battles is very enjoyable. The brilliant performance from the actors playing the characters that is displayed in the cut scenes brings each character to life. I felt a mix of emotions going through the different character arcs, such an experience i have never felt in any other game as it is a roller coaster ride. The story follows up from the previous plot but also revisits some scenarios from the previous game to explain what happened in between which explains the story perfectly and this answered all my lingering questions after i finished the first game.

    The world of LOU is visually beautiful and you can see the amount of effort that went into the game. The story kept me on the edge of the seat all the time. The game also explores various social/political issues and introduces a good mix of diversity which blends in with the story perfectly. It also does a great job at depicting how society crumbles in a post apocalyptic scenario and how war between different factions/races with differing values leads to unnecessary series of killing and violence.

    I want to revisit and finish this game at least a couple more times as it is so entertaining.

    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]
