    Easy 10/10

    I love how the developers don’t stick to the tried & tested formulas most other games do when it comes to the story. Perhaps all these negative reviews are from people who just don’t get that some people are gay? I can’t honestly see any other reason why so many would give it such terrible reviews.

    Take your time with this game, I saw most of the negative reviews were out within hours of the release. Either hateful Xbox fans or people who decided to put their race horse blinkers on to finish it as fast as possible.

    If you loved or even liked ‘The Last of Us” or “Left behind” then without doubt, you will really, really enjoy this game.

    (Headphones make this game SO much better, I notice a huge difference!)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ¿Qué decir sobre esta catedral de videojuego?
    No voy a perder mi tiempo en contestar a todas las estériles críticas de usuarios escupiendo vitriolo por las teclas, muchas de ellas premeditadas tras las desafortunadas filtraciones de Mayo, las cuales pude evitar en su totalidad. Recomiendo eso sí, filtrarlas sin ningún tipo de piedad. También recomiendo entender qué es The Last of Us, que parece que muchos presuntos fans todavía no se han enterado y prefieren idealizar personajes, santificándolos y haciéndolos a algunos hasta mártires.

    Puedo hablar de mi verdad, basada en mi experiencia tras cuatro partidas que me han llevado entre 26 y 31 horas de completar esta trepidante historia. No miento si digo que nunca pensaba que un videojuego pudiese hacerme sentir el torrente emocional que consigue generar este juego. He sentido la ira e impotencia que acompaña a Ellie en esta huida hacia delante. He sentido el dolor por la pérdida de un ser querido, el vacío existencial, la lucha interna. Me he cuestionado a cada paso el valor de las acciones de las que era cómplice. He aprendido a entender la subjetividad de toda historia, de cómo siempre existen distintas caras de una misma moneda. Y sí, por qué no decirlo, he odiado a Abby con toda mi ansia, pero también he llegado a preocuparme por ella. He vivido su trauma, su obsesión. Me ha partido el alma ver el alcance de dicha obsesión y he tenido que pasar página, entender que no era ese monstruo de mi imaginario. Agradezco que me hayan dejado ser el bueno, el feo y el malo. Me encariñado con esos complejísimos y fascinates personajes, para luego también, Neil Druckmann y Halley Gross, recordarme su reverso tenebroso en los momentos más inesperados.

    También debo mencionar lo que me ha encantado el diseño del juego y la jugabilidad. He sentido esa hostilidad de ese mundo postapocalíptico. La escasez, la angustia, la lucha por la supervivencia a cada paso. Por qué no, he llegado a preguntarle si matar o no a esos enemigos con nombre (algunos de ellos perros). Cómo se siente cada nivel, las opciones que te da para afrontar la acción. Siento que se consigue una sensacional verosimilitud entre el diseño de cada nivel y el estado emocional de tu personaje. Sientes llegar agotado, exhausto en algunas ocasiones al final de cada parte, tras los incontables peligros a los que te tienes que enfrentar, con situaciones asfixiantes y cargadas de incertidumbre a cada paso. También creo que es un juego donde los desarrolladores saben respetar la inteligencia del jugador para resolver las situaciones. Aunque sea un juego lineal, los enfrentamientos se pueden resolver de mil maneras diferentes y siempre me he sentido honorado, dando igual mi enfoque.

    Para poner la guinda, la conmovedora y magistral banda sonora del gran Gustavo Santaolalla. Aún retumban en mis tímpanos esos íntimos acordes de guitarra cargados de significado, trasladándome a esos momentos e incluso gastándome alguna lágrima, por qué no, algunos de ellos.

    ¿Y hay algo que no me guste de esta rotunda obra maestra? En alguna ocasión, mi aliado se ponía en medio, resultándome algo molesto. Algún que otro bug también he experimentado. Pocos peros le puedo poner a esta segunda parte de la que es desde ya, una de mis historias favoritas en cualquier forma de entretenimiento.

    Y a la pregunta, ¿hasta qué punto lo recomiendo este juego? A cualquiera ame los grandes dramas, tenga cierta madurez emocional, una mentalidad abierta y entienda que es un juego duro, al que le da igual lo que pienses acerca de sus personajes y no tiene escrúpulo alguno en hacerte salir de tu zona de comfort. No es para todo el mundo, pero si entras dentro de esta pequeña descripción, seguro que encuentras la experiencia digna de tu tiempo.

    I was upset by the beginning of the story and hated Abby, but If people actually play the game you see how Abby and Ellie are the same, they destroyed their lives for hate and revenge, but both realize it doesn’t really serve a purpose to get revenge and just causes more pain and suffering. 10/10

Listening to the Clickers or Stalkers run by really ramp up the tension.

    The environments are beautiful and there's enough of a variety to make each enemy encounter and combat scenario different from the last. Some of the areas have multiple levels where you can attack from higher grounds or sneak up on enemies by swimming through tunnels. The soundtrack is haunting and beautiful and matches the themes and tone of the game.

    Voice acting and facial animations are incredible achievements and accomplishments, providing a very cinematic experience for the entire game.

    Finally, the story - I absolutely loved it. The story and the way it was told made me feel a wide range of emotions and feelings from anger, sadness, joy, sympathy and empathy. I can definitely see why this story wasn't for everyone as the themes are quite dark and we see our favourite characters go through painful journeys, but that's how life is sometimes - unfair, painful, and tragic.

    Thank you Naughty Dog and I can't wait for your next project.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us, more so than any other, was a game about people. It emphasised people inhabiting a post-apocalyptic world from different perspectives and how those perspectives shape their actions. People weren’t portrayed as good or bad, they were driven to their morally ambiguous decisions from either love or tribalism in these survival-of-the-fittest circumstances. On more than one occasion; whether through npc dialogue or a character like David, it was explicitly pointed out that we are NOT just killing npcs ala Call of Duty. Every person killed is related to someone else, has friends, wants, needs, agency etc, even if WE, as an aggressor or defender don't personally know the people we are killing.

    Joel is driven to kill a surgeon in cold blood to save his surrogate daughter, just as the surgeon is driven to kill a girl on the operating table without her consent in order to obtain a cure for mankind to ensure his own daughter’s safety in the future.

    By having the rising action of the entire narrative derive from a nameless npc Joel murdered, TLoU2 perfectly accentuates a tangible feeling of actions having consequences. You had no choice but to kill the surgeon because Joel had no choice. You’re not meant to reflect on your own actions (the game forced you to do it anyway), you’re meant to feel the weight of Joel’s actions and their consequences. To have someone who's state of life was ruined by Joel, come back and exact revenge is a very confrontational way to tackle a theme, and TLoU2 holds no punches in doing so. It doesn't stop and end at the story itself, either. It's ingrained in the design of the game. You aren't supposed to feel dopamine while killing/hurting people. When the game forces you to press Square repeatedly to choke Ellie (a character who the player’s sole objective in the first game was to love and protect), the game is meant to make you feel uncomfortable because Abby the character feels uncomfortable losing her humanity again in that moment after finally regaining it in the 3 days leading up to it thanks to the innocence of her child companion Lev. For me, seeing the game switch to Abby wasn’t annoying at all, it was more like “oh wow, this game is actually going to try and make me empathise with the psychopath who killed and tortured my favourite character? I’d love to see you try, Naughty Dog!” — which then prompted me to continue the game based on that intrigue alone. I just don’t get how anyone can suddenly become uninterested at such a challenge the game presents to them. I thought part of what made video games so appealing to people was the challenge; wether it’s the satisfaction of overcoming a hard boss battle or, in a revolutionary first-time attempt thanks to TLoU2, an exercise in empathy through the ludonarrative. How the game uses Abby’s half of the story as a parallel to Ellie’s is a genius dichotomy used to illustrate her deteriorating relationship with Joel — something that was foreshadowed as being the emotional hook of a potential sequel with the first game’s final scene. TLoU2 delivers on that promise in the game’s final Joel and Ellie flashback. Joel is stating that no amount of revisionist history would change his choice. He'd do the same act all over. Ellie never really came to terms with what Joel did and why, and her blame and frustration lead to them distancing in the final years of his life. During this scene, Ellie takes a step forward to extend a hand and try to begin a reconciliation process, which is also her trying to understand what he did or to empathise with it even if there's still a fundamental disagreement. Empathy would shift her anger and frustration from seeing Joel as someone who robbed her life of purpose, or as a selfish man, to someone who committed the act out of love even if it’s still a violent, questionable act in of itself.

    The reason this takes place towards the end is that it takes Ellie hitting rock bottom to finally come to terms with this. She spends most of the game committing acts of absolute monstrous inhumane violence in the name of her love for Joel — which she feels she needs to physically prove since she never got to reconcile with him in the end. They're awful, irredeemable acts, but it is only in the climax, when Ellie has nothing left, that it hits her that this expression of pure, unconditional love is what also drove Joel to do what he did. The reconciliation is post mortem, Joel is dead and that'll never change, but Ellie has developed a sense of awareness of Joel's actions that she was once so angry about, and in turn, is able to stop herself from doing what’s more than necessary.

    Ellie's memories of Joel are thus no longer violent and unfinished, laden with frustration, confusion and guilt, and instead replaced with memories of how much he loved her.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Exquisite gameplay, ALL its technical points, level design, scenarios, battles, diversity of situations (stealth, melee, shooter, sniper, survival) and artistic aspects, EVERYTHING borders on perfection.

    At the historical level, where there is controversy, PART II fixes part I. Last of Us closed with a message that must have tormented Neil Druckman: cold-blooded killing of unarmed doctors and nurses.

    This is not Abby's or Ellie's game, it is the PLAYER's game, which leads to a greater understanding of the human race, the concept of the enemy, of the conflicts between communities to establish their myths and rules. The pity that if they have not achieved it with the majority of the players, there is little hope for this humanity, that only greed moves us, the thirst for revenge, and that there is only one me or them. With me or against me.

    (SPOILERS)
    Part II is a player's journey to a broader understanding for the player that in real life there are no extreme villains or heroes, everything is degrees (linked to the superheroes cards collection in the journey) therefore Abby is not a classic villain role, Abby has suffered that someone KILLED HER FATHER in cold blood. She must fulfilled this evil growing inside her with revenge. Although she completed her revenge, this one later torments her guiding her to the redemption of Lev and her sister's rescue - a great character Lev -, and she ends up hanging in penance. Ellie achieves her revenge too when she is drowning Abby, Joel appears in her mind and looks at her as if saying "stop" (a traffic sign that is constantly repeated throughout the streets of Seattle). Stop this violence.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finshed The Last Of Us Part II and it is one of the best games I have ever played, one of my top 5 favorite games of all time, but still not better then the first. The visuals are astounding, the best I have ever seen in a video game and they are the most realistic video game visuals I have ever seen they look like they are real. The performances from Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey were exceptional, they gave such emotionally powerful performances, also Troy Baker's performance was great he gave some well need peace to a pretty chaotic and crazy game. Ian Alexander, Shannon Woodward, Patrick Fugit, Stephen Chang, Alejandro Edda, and Ashly Burch gave terrific supporting performances. The writing was very well done and made me feel so many emotions like a good movie or TV show but I felt it was a little overly tragic. The character development was remarkable especially with Ellie and Abby. The LGBTQ+ representation with Ellie and Dina's relationship and the transgender character Lev who was also played by a transgender actor was amazing but some of the writing of Lev's story was questionable like how almost all of his suffering and tragedy in his life was because of his gender identity and the villains using his dead name. The gameplay was phenomenal especially the new weapons like the crossbow, the silencer, quiet and silenced weapons, and the prone position crawling. The music is outstanding and so beautifully done I especially loved the song sang by Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, the end credits, and Ashley Johnson singing Take On Me. This was definitely and A+ video game. Expand

    Facing the consequences of your actions from TLOU1 and experiencing the impact of the (at best) morally dubious actions taken by Joel bring a depth to this story that was necessary to elevate it beyond standard survival horror fare. The difficulty in letting go of a difficult past and questioning our actions are themes which the game forces you to confront. Boys who want to remain in their hugbox with daddy figure Joel will resist it and lash out, blaming perceived external flaws rather than examining themselves.

    Many (likely most) of the negative reviews never played the game. The shallow complaints about the visibility of LGBT characters displays an antiquated understanding of the world. (Oh no, one minor character character who happens to be trans?? The horror.) The lack of understanding that Joel was a well-developed character, but not an unequivocally good person, is prevalent. "I like Joel, so anyone who opposes him is bad," is the gist of their argument.

    Read a book, boys. Travel somewhere foreign. Get accustomed to being outside of your comfort zone and see how much you can learn about empathy before you die. If you played TLOU1 when it came out, you're an adult now. Act like one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this game! Why? First of all, the graphics, environments, sounds and animations are really good and creating an awesome atmosphere. But only a few people would deny this.
    The story is the controversial subject. If you want a simple action adventure story like the other millions out there (Uncharted, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider) with some twists and an ‘the hero saves the day’ ending/atmosphere you will be heavily disappointed.
    If you don’t have a problem with some bad feelings and a crown-up story, then could this something for you. Sure, not every little part of the story is perfect but the game (the story tellers) had the guts to show consequences if someone kills another, the beginning and ending of a spiral of violence, traumatized persons and Ellie who lost almost everything cause she devote herself to vengeance.
    In the end it is nice to see that video games beginning to fulfill their role as cultural property.

Some people say this game doesn't respect Joel's character because he gets killed but when you finish the game you realize how much they value his character. And the next thing is how great they finished the game because they didn't made a ruthless character out of ellie and the fact that she finally moves on joel and forgives him is heartbreaking but also lovely Expand

    By the end of the story I feel this is the most emotional invested and intense I’ve ever felt in a video game.

    If you have an open mind, can empathise with the different characters and realise that everyone (even unnamed NPCs) has a story in the violent, disgusting world, you can get something meaningful, thought provoking and powerful from the story.

    Since finishing and reading into the outrage I really think it shows that these days it’s not worth getting involved in internet communities about very personal and opinion based media like this.

    If you’ve spoiled the story already, I can understand not wanting to play, but if you haven’t yet, I encourage an open mind and really trying to think about the perspectives of each character. No one in this world is right, no one is wrong, just like the reviews for the game (other than trolls and bombers)

So, back to t he beggining : this score is a demonstration of our behaviour toward a media that keeps changing and the fact that we still don't respect game creators enough so we accept them as author of their game. They did what they did because that's what they wanted to tell and to transmit. And looking at all the badly argued hatred in these reviews, they succeded : they shown how deep the interaction with the viewer is when videogame show its true potential. So, congrats Naughty Dog - You've achieved something really unique : it will take time for may of us to understand that. Expand

    It is my opinion that no game is a 10. This is because I want every company to strive to always better everygame they make. I believe Naughty Dog has made a superior game in almost every facite to the first one. The graphics are the best of the generation. The story over halfway through the first playthrough has me as emotionally invested as any game I have every played. Maybe it helps that I didnt read anything about spoilers or other otherwise that were leaked. I don't think it would have made a difference.

    The game play is bestter than the first in nearly every way. I feel like the controls fit the type of game very well. Though that being said a few things I would have like to have seen improve is the infected. I enjoy everything but the evolution i expected in the infected doesn't really exist.

    I will play through this game at least twice is my guess. It truly is an amazing send-off to an amazing generation of video games. I feel bad for anyone who doesn't get to experience the games greatness.
