    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to be honest, as a giant TLOU fan I am sad that they completely destroyed the story. It’s obvious that they changed the game for whatever reasons, you can just look at the trailer And then the game and noticed a lot has changed. 7 years of mastering a beautiful story about two strangers with horrible past, learn to survive and love each other, just to completely destroy a beloved character, Why I don’t know. But thank you Naughty Dog for showing Us Gamers that your willing to **** everything up to follow a stupid ideology of society. Hope this bites you in the ass, as well as you Neil. The game is playable, amazing Graphics, good combat mechanics, not as many bugs. But don’t go into the world of “Part II” expecting to feel nostalgic or bring back memories of the first last of us.… Expand

    Una historia malisima, con agujeros de guion, giros argumentales mal hechos, no se logra empatizar con personajes, con panfletos politicos cada 5 minutos y te gritan en la cara que los personajes son homosexuales. El resto del juego, gameplay, sonido, jugabilidad, entre otros es jna maravilla pero sin embargo no logran salvar el juego. Como conclusion el juego no vale la pena, es una basura.

    The first game made us love it because of the graphics, the music, the way of playing, how we could enjoy going hand by hand with Joel and Ellie.... because that was the best point, the story, how we were able to love those amazing characters and their relationship..... this "part two" is the worst we can get.

No matter what they tried to do with new graphics, music and everything else. THE STORY IS NOT WORTH. If the point that made the game one of the best we've ever played is such a trash, because I can't call it other way, then the game was FOR NOTHING, they sent to waste all the work and effort, including all the hopes we fans had since seven years ago. Maybe someone who didn't play the first part could do something with this game, but not people like me who had fallen in love whit the first one. I won't ever recommend this game, o the opposite, ignore it as if it never existed, that's what I can say about a game that in only two hours vanished my will to continue playing, a game I paid for just to ended up wanting to just throw away and forget I ever tried.

    And a little comment to add, some people say we give bad record because of DIFFERENT SEXUAL ORIENTATION, well the answer is NO, that has nothing with hate to the subject. The first game made it clear, that Ellie is strong, that she knows how to fight, and how to love people too. In the DLC it was completely clear who she was, we LOVE her, and we love Joel too, we love the story of how they met, how they could trust each other and how they saved each other in so many ways.

    The game was a master piece adding all. I can't tell in just this message how sad I am after this situation. I wish the second part was never announced so I could treasure the real game it was.    … Expand

It is pretty obvious to me that The Last Of Us Part II in order to follow a very specific political agenda, loses elements which made the first game so unique and playable. Tue Smart characters have begun acting dumb, plot twists that just make playing the game unbearable have been added and at the end of the dah this so called "masterpiece" concludes to a very generic message that most of the people plahing it, already hve in mind.… Expand

    A miserable experience almost from start to finish. What little fun that could be derived from the gameplay is completely undermined by a confoundingly poor story. The game is plagued by horrendous pacing issues, huge amounts of scavenging downtime and bleak, uninteresting dialogue, amid many more problems.

The cycle of events and the main motivation of the characters closes perfectly and shows that in this world there is no side of good or side of evil. .. Everybody is a human being trying to survive ... The end took me out of sadness, but as there is a gap I am imagining that the following events would be good! I loved the protagonists, especially Abby, finally a game with feminine protagonism where the woman breaks zombie in the punch, survives and does great things without having to be sexualized. Good for those who did not like the story of the two one: 1 prejudiced little **** 2 does not enjoy stories focused on feelings and that do not have infallible protagonism and a happy or pleasant ending. and a grand finale, that things always work out for the guy, but surprise, that doesn't happen in an apocalyptic world of humans.

It’s high quality but the story missed the mark. I genuinely have never been so disappointed and miserable playing a game. The goal was to make you empathize with Abby and by the end you should have understood why Ellie let her go. It simply failed to do that. Parts of the game were way too drawn out or just didn’t even need to be included. Of course there were parts of the game that I enjoyed but I did not enjoy it as much as I could have.

I am moved to write this review mainly because I highly disagree with those who rate it negatively. It's not unlike getting to the top of a great mountain vista and having your teenage son berate you for making you miss their Saturday morning cartoons. There's no accounting for taste but then again a refinement of culture does echo the divine. And there is something divine about this game for me. It's beauty it's attention to detail it's immersion. It's story. A lot of feeling people put a lot of work into this and I applaud their monumental efforts and appreciate how touching it was for me to experience. I mourn the fact that so many others for whatever reason failed to appreciate this for what I can only assume is a lack of depth empathy and intellect. I can maybe see where people were thrown off but again it seems to me to be just poor taste. The metaphor that comes to mind would be taking someone on a roller coaster ride and having them complain about the ups and downs and the fear they felt. While the reasoning is valid it is simply a failure to appreciate something that is wonderful to behold and to experience if one has an open and undefiled mental state. And the fact that so many people are playing this game and reviewing it seems to bespeak an underlying lack of awareness on the part of those giving it such negative reviews. Perhaps they like it more than they are even aware but for a few key ingredients that they are stuck on which didn't go as they wanted which would have made it a pretty white bread sequel in all honesty. In any case good art is appreciated and celebrated in its time by the masses but great art often goes undetected or is even ridiculed except for a select few. The fact that this game is so hype and so hated by so many may actually be a credit. Truly though it is a credit unto itself. One does not need to read the reviews to know it one simply has to play the game. And for people who aren't gamers cinephiles perhaps would marvel at what could be done with the medium. For this game truly played like a movie like a long uninterrupted epic with themes and motifs and tropes and the like. Maybe someday in the future they will have high school or even college age students play this game and its predecessor like you might read a book for a liberal arts class. For that is what this ultimately is - a genre defining work of art. I hope people come around to it and replay it for it is definitely as good if not better on the second playthrough. And again applause for the creators and the designers. Thank you for your dedication and your commitment to your craft. It takes courage integrity and grit to do what you did here. Thank you.… Expand

There where moments playing this game that I felt like utter **** the theater scene where you play as Abby ruined me, and the golf scene was truly brutal. And that's why this game is as good as it is, the fact that a game can make you feel this much emotion and true pain is crazy. On top of all that the gameplay is quite compelling, the stealth combat is great and the enemy AI is much more developed then most games I've ever played and the graphics are impeccable. I also love how they had the guts to kill Joel, and I find it's hilarious that so many people are mad about that, that's truly a brutal moment that many creators don't have the guts to do. On top of all that, the acting and animations in the game are incredibly well done and actors such as Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey show incredible performances that honestly make me wish that actors like them got more recognition in the whole industry of popular media, seeing as what they do is often much more complicated than what a conventional voice actor from an animated film.

En resumen general, los gráficos, ambientación, animaciones, jugabilidad, mejoras y banda sonora son una locura y le dan vida al juego. Puede que la historia sea muy polémica y existan cosas que no me hayan gustado del todo en un principio, pero si que da para reflexionar, una historia con personajes complejos y vivos, que buscan cumplir sus objetivos a toda costa, y claramente esta historia es distinta, nos presentan un mundo oscuro y pesimista, donde en realidad nadie es bueno ni malo. Siento que las acciones ocurridas en este juego conectan a la perfección con el primer juego y son las consecuencias del final de este, narrativamente te da un final muy amargo y polémico, y eso era lo que quería lograr el estudio.

It's heartbreaking and shows the dark side of human being how we deal with consequences after we make our decisions. How far we would go to gain the satisfaction of payback and was it worth the act?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay. Wow.
    What can I say about this game... let's start with the positive. Graphically it's really great, and I think they've made the best out of this console generation. I love those games like Uncharted, Horizon or GoW where you can just stand here and look at the view.
    Unfortunately, that's not everything in a game... And a really good game can also be ugly, just like a beautiful game can be bad.
    Let's talk about gameplay. Despite it's an aging gameplay that fits well to this kind of play, we can see some improvements compared to 1, without distorting it. I rather liked it.
    The problem is that this "soft" gameplay is acceptable in 1 because we are always emotionally affected by the game, and we want to take our time for everything. Which is clearly not the case in 2.
    In addition to not being very dynamic (even if it's quite realistic, we must admit it) the gameplay is repetitive, boring, boring again. You don't have fun, and you don't really want to linger to finish this chore as quickly as possible.
    And here we goes with the story... Joel... honestly? It's a shame what you did with it, and I was prepared for his death, but the way you did it...
    And killed by Abby? Really? One of the random kids of one of the many random guys killed by Joel? That's the best you could come up with? How about an orphan club? They could even raise an army considering the number of guys I've murdered only in the firefly hospital.
    We're forced to play Abby next, who has no charisma, nothing for her. We don't want to play her, less appreciate her, and they try to force us to love her, to have compassion for her, positive feelings... Force us to have feelings... Isn't that rape? Yes, it is. For me it was, it was really boring to play. And long! I couldn't take it anymore.
    We're being forced to beat the crap out of Ellie, the last thing I wanted to do... which almost got me to shut down the game without finishing it anyway. Fortunatly you don’t force me to kill Joel, my PS4 would have fly over the window.

    And then what? The end? After all of that? I almost expected at the farmhouse scene that Abby would become their best friend / neighbor. Scandalous, we went on a quest for revenge, only to have Ellie save her worst enemy and lose everything she had left in the process, including the last link she had with Joel?
    Well done, well done, well done ><

    However even then it still has many many faults - the gameplay is far too repetitive and artificially drawn out. The writing is cringe worthy awful with plot holes the size of the grand canyon and I found myself bored and completely disinterested through large parts of the game.

    But the main issue here is that players aren't playing the sequel to The Last Of Us for the graphics, heck they aren't even playing it for the gameplay - they are playing it for the story and characters. And this is where it all comes crashing down like a hurricane.

    Aside from what actually happens and what the player is forced to do and play as, it cannot be denied by the developer the sheer amount of deception created in the build up to the release.

    Players expected a certain experience and through the developer's selfish actions they seemingly set out to ensure the exact opposite of this would happen.

    As a stand-alone game titled something like Abby's Tale set in it's own unique game world, this would have been a more than acceptable game. The problem is, it isn't and as a 'The Last Of us' game, that is unforgivable and it fails spectacularly.    … Expand

El único problema que encuentro es la forma de meter la trama de Abby, pues en lugar de intercalarla con la trama de Ellie como al principio del juego, te la meten entera después de terminar con la historia de Ellie, cosa que no acaba quedando bien.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a game I wish I could show people. The barrier for people experiencing art like this is too high for people like my father, who doesn’t play video games. For my friends on different platforms who don’t have analytical talks about symbolism in media. For my girlfriend who is too turned off by the third axis in game controllers. This is just something I had to talk about. Something I had to speak my words for. This game is art. As someone who loved the first game and still loves the first game, this game exceeded expectations highly. Every gameplay system, mechanic, story arch and character is amazing and flushed out fully. Never once did the game fail in trying to make me feel a certain emotion. It made me make hard choices. It questioned the very purpose of the way to play games, and how sometimes as the saying goes “the only way to win, is not play”. Never has a game before this exemplified and embodied what that means, to this extent. It took characters I loved, and made them real. There is no good, no bad, just gray. Every expectation I had going into this game was somehow flipped on its side. What a lovely, gruesome, dark, and scary game. The symbolism alone is heartbreaking. At the forefront of the story there’s a duality between characters and their intertwined journeys that I think is unmatched in revenge tails. The debate over what this game is trying to say will last for years, and I just wish I could take part of it more. I could go on. But I think it’s just best to experience for yourself.

    The story was well written and well crafted. It was uncomfortable at times, and obviously, there was some bold decisions that I wish were different. But on the whole, it all flowed well, made sense, and didn't insult my intelligence.

    This is without a doubt, one of the absolute best games I have ever played, and worthy of any awards it can receive. It's a true masterpiece, and one I will enjoy playing through again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2, a game that divided the gaming community into two camps, people who were not saturated with the atmosphere of the post-apocalypse, were not moved by the ingenious plot and interesting interactions of the characters. And others who have experienced all of the above on their own skin. What is the ending, because of which the game now has such bad ratings associated with the stupidity of players who cannot get out of their comfort zone and understand that this game is not a familiar story of revenge, but a deeper one. The players at the end thought that Ellie had to kill Abby in order to keep the concept that Ellie had followed throughout the game, but during the game, people like Ellie cannot understand that Ellie's main enemy is not Abby, but her resentment against herself, due to the fact that all the game was rejected by Joel, and when she lost him she could not apologize. This is a brilliant game that was with such a deep meaning that many people simply did not understand it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Edit: Adding the only really bad script thing for me: Joel death. He is a survivor and don’t trust anyone and then he go all in into a house full of armed strangers and say his name for who could wanna know... it just doesn’t fit easy. Tried to thing that he relaxed after living some years into a trustful town/society, that Ellie changed him and after the Firefly massacre he tried to change for her, bit it still seems forced. But even with this the game is almost perfect and the best one for ps4. Not by far the “zeros” that so many “gta generation” are putting here, bit they have the right. And I tgink, and gope, that there will (or at least would be before so many haters) a third part for the story, by the way that this one developed and finished, bit who knows.

    Great gameplay. Suberb graphics. About the story, at the beginning I found it frustrating, but after finishing the game I found it great.

    Think in it taking “Game of Thrones” perspective. No one is so important that could not die (in stupid ways sometimes) and the story goes on for another characters independent and without show it to us.

    I personally disliked the need to show Ellie has homossexual into the dlc at the first game (probably to creat polemic, not because she is homo, but cause she is the only immune being, and in a apocalyptic world it means no immune decendents), and it is cause the last midia histories are tending to show all strong and independent womans as homossexual, and this isn’t true. But they showed the relationship of the main in a good way.

    No confusing or unrealistic end for me, it was the enconter of two opposites: one going from a vengeance ravok that turned her into a monster and after fuffiling it started to think at the worngness of all that and being tired of the killing (Abby), thanks for the changes and deaths of her friends and being save by enemies morr than one time; other one finally finding a good life and than loosing it in a violent way, turning herself a monster, making her loose sleep, friends, love, home, until in the end she realize that fulfilling it would bring her nothing, abandoning her revange (even apparently it being to late for her to be happy). “They killed hundreds and regreat to kill their mostly hated ones, it has no sense”, but the other killing were for auto defense and to reach their objectives and were part of the “tiredness process”, showed in cutscenes, in game dialogues and changes into character appearance and in game disposition. Abby no killing Ellie is justified for all suffering and the conscience that she brings it for her and her friends and her change after being safe and saving her enemies and seeing the craziness of a war into a apocalyptic world at the Island.
    Ellie not killing Abby is justified cause her essence was good, the revenge make her loose friends, home and love, and at the last moment, into a game part that show her visibility tired and depressed, physically hurt, she sees the emptiness of it all.

    A controversial game that will not be for everyone, specially the ones that pay bo attention for all story, but for me a almost perfect game and the best one for PS4, a great closure for this console.    … Expand

    Великолепная игра. Достойное продолжение 1-й части. Совершенно не понимаю хейта к этой игре, сначала пройдите, потом критикуйте! История очень интересная, графика, окружение, проработка мелких деталей выше всякий похвал. Игра очень длинная, ощущение, что прошёл игру, 2 dlc, ещё и фильм посмотрел) В общем всем советую, не слушайте других, если понравилась 1-я часть, то смело берите эту,Великолепная игра.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is phenomenal - the tide of hate its recieved from far right bigots, people that can't overcome Joel's death or understand the game at anything beyond surface level is overwhelming. This game is a masterpiece, no piece of media has left me so emotionally wrecked, they orchestrated this perfectly. The symbolism and attention to detail invested into this story is amazing. It leaves you exploring concepts and characters for days, having you invested in storylines you thought you never could have been. The gameplay is also 10/10, the improvement in the enemy classes of the infected is just on a whole new level. Fighting human enemies is equally as fun as they introduce this sense of gritty realism into the play style. It's a 10/10 game, ignore negative reviews spewing incoherent **** about SJWs and Joel.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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]
