    This game is amazing, truly something else. I enjoyed every moment of it, even when I expected that I wouldn't enjoy a part of it, I was proven wrong. Truly a masterpiece, the story was fascinating and beautifully written. The graphics were beautiful and the soundtrack was great wanted to listen to it for hours. Great job Naughty Dog!

    Una increíble experiencia que evita el fan-service, expande su universo y nos hace reflexionar sobre aquella frase que dice "ojo por ojo y todos acabarán ciegos". En unos años se le dará mucho más valor a esta obra.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I got this game was prepared for just about anything but I wasn’t prepared how emotional I’ll get in the last 2 hrs you get to witness a characters death so horrendous it was so mind blowing. It reminded me of a scene of The Walking Dead when Negan used his baseball bat to Glen that’s what exactly happened to Joel I was utterly heartbroken to see this amazing character get killed off so quickly that your head would spin. Through out my play through I was so angry with Abby all I wanted was to kill her like Ellie no matter what the cost was once you get to mid part of the game you play as Abby which took place right after of her killing Joel it was the weirdest feeling in the world to play as a character that just brutalized someone that you deeply cared for and not only that took care of Ellie. So, you begin to play and start seeing why Abby was looking for Joel and exactly why she killed him. Well, from the first Last Of Us when Joel went on his murderous rampage to save Ellie However one the surgeons he kills was Abby’s father which was super interesting and I hate to say this I was beginning to like Abby in a strange way. this game was so powerful and made me cried to many times I’ve lost count cause I think what hit the hardest is that both characters lost something so dear to them that they would do anything in their power to avenge their fathers death but at the ending the two broke that cycle of violence then moved on if Naughty Dog gave you the choice of killing or forgiving that would be super interesting to see what people did and see the outcome being both cannon of course but all in all. I loved this game plan on playing it again very soon cause The Last Of Us Part 2 was phenomenal and would be really curious about a third one will ever happen or give us a spin off series as to where you play as tommy that would great.… Expand

The Last of Us Part II is, like The Last of Us, one of the best games of all time and if you’re thinking about not getting it just bc of that one spoiler thing (or the fact that you’re playing as a female protagonist) then you lack the maturity to enjoy and appreciate this game to its fullest.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really liked the game, i hated it at first because of what they did story wise, it was just so quick and at first i thought to myself "How can Joel be so careless" But after finishing the game i get it, he lived in Jackson for 5 years, he's getting older and is softening up a bit, still feels guilty to Ellie for what he did in the first game. Joel took Ellie her goal/purpose in life away from her, she was supposed to die in that hospital for a possible vaccine and she was okay with it. I have trouble with writing out how i feel precisely about the game, but i really liked it, the story it told & the general message about the cycle of revenge and vengeance was super. I hated playing as Abby on day 1 but through the cutscenes and discovering her dad was killed by Joel, her interactions with her group of friends and Yara and Lev made me really like her. The graphics, level design, music are also super. seriously impressive. I liked the improved combat system with the dodging mechanic and being able to squeeze through small spaces. The upgrade animations were also super cool and i enjoyed watching those. For me this game was for sure a worthy sequel and a 10/10. It's sad to see the hate online and the review bombing on here (i feel like 70% off those havent even played the game or even own a PS4 to begin with)

    I remember Neil saying the game would divide the fanbase, and it sure did. I really enjoyed it though and i'd like to thank everyone at Naughty Dog for making the game.

Admittedly, some may be pissed by some of the story arc and the fact that Abby was unnecessarily "de-sexualized" to appease PITA feminists like Anita Sarkeesian, but this does not negate how awesome the overall game is. Days Gone (another outstanding game) was unfairly bashed by professional critics for not catering to SJWs. Don't let an even better game suffer because of overblown SJW influence. Hands down, this is the best game that I have ever played. Immersive. Beautifully detailed. Lots of jump scares. Hollywood level animation in both cutscenes and gameplay. Buy it!… Expand

As a huge fan of the first TLOU, I want to start off by saying this is now my favorite game of ALL time. What Neil and Naughty Dog has accomplished is nothing short of excellence. 10 years from now, people will be talking about how TLOU2 has revolutionized the gaming industry. Future video games will be influenced by its brilliance.

    Critics have claimed TLOU2 is not worthy of praise due to its dark story line and character development. It is true, the game is very dark, but many great stories are. The same can be said about The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and many of the top shows or series nowadays. Remember when Jon Snow died? Fans protested and claimed they weren't going to watch the show anymore. The Walking Dead has also faced backlash and criticism for its plot points. If a critic can't understand TLOU2's ultimate theme and message it offers, it is probably why those critics rated the game with a low score. In a world dimly lit, there is a bright fire that burns with a very positive message. The game and character decisions are very realistic for the environment and situations they are placed in. A story being "dark" doesn't diminish the fact that the story arc is incredible. There is also, in my opinion, a very positive message to be had if you play it all the way through, even if it comes from dark circumstances.

    Many have blasted the game for its character development. There are a lot of people resistant to change, which you can see in the real world today. TLOU2 has so many themes about oppressed peoples, cultures, and nationalities, which some may not like. However, many (not all) are bigoted people that really don't want to see diversity in a video game, let alone real life. The character development is actually what makes the game compelling and has brought passion out of gamers, both negative and positive. Most giving unfair scrutiny to the game are biased critics that will never try to walk in another person's shoes or look at life from a different perspective.
    The storyline and characters are much more deeply rooted than most can understand. For something to change the way we look at things, it is and will be controversial. This is why Neil Druckmann states, "The game is not for everyone."

    I am fascinated by how well written the story is, but the gameplay also excels. TLOU2 expands on what its prequel already did well, adding some new mechanics to Ellie's ability to fight or flight. With the abilities to go prone, dodge, and jump, the gameplay is leaps above its predecessor. The graphics are absolutely the best I've seen in a video game, lending to its realism and makes everything even more believable.

    I truly hope there will be a third installment for TLOU. Seven years is a long time to wait for a sequel, but the wait was well worth it. Thank you Neil and the Naughty Dog team! I truly look forward to at least a trilogy and can't wait for the HBO series to air.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ho giocato per la seconda volta questo titolo, adesso ho le idee chiare e senza dubbi lo definisco uno dei punti più alti di tutta la generazione di videogiochi in assoluto. Ha una storia semplice ma non scarna di colpi di scena, che quando ci sono, sono molto convincenti. Il gameplay è solamente migliorato dal primo capitolo, rimanendo comunque molto simile. Dopo la prima run, sono rimasto perplesso dopo il finale.
    P.S. Da ora partono gli spoiler...
    Parlando del finale, mi sarebbe molto piaciuto vedere Ellie uccidere Abby e diventare quindi una persona che durante tutto il gioco viene lentamente consumata dalla vendetta, questo lo dimostra proprio il finale, quando, Abby legata ai pali viene liberata da Ellie, ma quest'ultima non vuole spezzarla, distruggerla da impotente, Ellie vuole combattere e trovare un senso ancora più grande nella sua vendetta, che però viene sporcata dal ricordo che Ellie ha di Joel. Detto questo, vorrei cercare di far capire alla gente che mette 0 per provocazione o per il semplice motivo che odia il gioco, che se mettete 0 o magari 1 o 2 perchè la trama vi fa schifo, dovreste sapere che quello a cui giocate è un "VIDEOGIOCO" non un film, perché anche se il gioco non avesse il supporto di una trama bellissima, anzi una trama orribile e stupida (cosa che, ripeto, non è) sarebbe comunque un gioco di altissimo livello, con un gameplay molto bello, una grafica spettacolare e altri piccoli dettagli che comunque contribuiscono a rendere un gioco quello che è, perché The Last of Us è un gioco notevole    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not only about vengeance, its mostly about forgiveness, and how forgiveness is not a favor you do to others, its for you. And if you don't find that beautiful to see so deeply in a video game, then you're not going to enjoy this game story, at all.

    SPOILERS:

    In the beginning I was so angry at Abby, I wanted revenge at any cost, and was so upset, sad, heartbroken with Joel's death. That didn't change along the game, but I just sit there and played, paying attention to every detail as possible specifically how gorgeous and detailed the world that Naughty Dog created for this game is. When Jesse died, I got really upset again, seriously I felt so disrespected by this girl Abby that came out of nowhere and the game just cut to the cutscene where you start to get to know who the **** is this girl that killed my beloved Joel. Did it change my mind about her? No. But I got to know why she planned to kill Joel her entire life, since her dad was murdered by him, and he was the doctor who's gonna maybe save humanity getting the cure out of Ellie. Did it change my mind about Joel's decision? Hell no. Considering that, and that the main point of mid game is to show you both sides, when the game goes to Ellie again, after a freaking terrifying fight where I almost lost my heart thinking Ellie or Dina were going to die too, the game sends you to what was supposed to be a "happy ending" for Ellie, Dina and JJ (their baby). But yeah another scene of Joel layed on the floor, the saddest scene of all game cames out to disturb Ellie, and we see that she can't get that out of her mind, of course totally understandable. Then comes a scene that I found myself super happy because Tommy was alive! But when Tommy got mad at Ellie because she doesn't want to risk her family to pursuit that vengeance, I felt really sad. But anyways, she can't be in peace, she goes on another journey to find Abby and revenge Joel's death. In this part I was actually worried about her and how she was going to lose everyone she loves in exchange for nothing. Because that's the point right? Is killing Abby going to bring Joel back to life? No. That's a hollow you can't actually fill. You have to give time to time. In the end, when Ellie almost left without even fighting Abby, Joel's corpse comes again to her, and she decided one more time that she couldn't let Abby go. But when she's almost drowning her to death, another memorie comes. Her last talk with Joel, in the night before the day he left her life forever. What is cool about this scene, is that we clearly see that Ellie got so upset on Joel, that she maybe could not forgive him, but she would like to try. And that's what matters, as long as she forgives him, she will be with only good memories about him. This is SO hard to think about and fully understand, or worse, to do it (included myself of course). But I found that so beautiful to see in a videogame guys. That's how much she loves him, that vengeance was nothing compared with her love for Joel, and it was not going to bring him back, it was just going to bring more disgrace to her life. Of course she actually learned that in the worst way possible. And the fact that she releases Abby in that moment, for me was the time that she began to truly forgive Joel.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm baffled by all the negative reviews that criticize why Ellie let Abby go at the end.

    I don't like when people say "you just didn't like the game because you didn't get it," but it honestly feels like most people were so emotionally invested in Joel's death that they literally didn't pay attention to anything the game was doing for the remaining 20 ish hours afterward.

    If the central messages of the game were this difficult for people to grasp... I guess it is valid criticism that the game wasn't clear enough? But then there's another crowd criticizing the game for being hamfisted in delivering its themes.

    All I know is that for me, the story totally worked. I certainly didn't agree with the character's decisions all the time, but this isn't supposed to be a game with player choice in a branching narrative. It's just trying to help you understand why the characters make the decisions they do, and for me it was absolutely successful.

    Ellie sets off on a revenge quest and gets so caught up in it that she sacrifices the bright future she had with Dina. Abby, meanwhile, has finished her own revenge quest at the start of the game, leaving her somewhat purposeless, and she struggles to find something to live for while Ellie hunts her down. In the end, Ellie finally realizes what Abby has learned, that protecting people you care about is the only way to truly rid yourself of your internal demons, but it's tragically too late as Dina has already decided to leave her.

    The internal struggle to move on from loss and past traumas in general is not a novel or earth-shattering idea, but the game explores this struggle fully, with compelling characters, and an insane level of detail in both world-building and plot consistency. If this isn't what people recognize as a fantastic game, I have no idea what they want...

    And what are people talking about the SJW agenda of the game? Yeah there's a couple LGBT characters. The game spends almost 0 time on this, so who cares?    … 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.
