Las gráficas del juego son muy buenas, por un rato podías sentirte adentro del juego pero, esto es algo que a la gente no le gustó: La historia, el nuevo personaje (Abby), La muerte de joel y la tan mala forma con la que matan a los personajes. A mí en lo personal estas cosas tampoco me gustaron :/. Te lo recomiendo por la calidad gráfica pero, está muy mala la historia y todo lo que te comente anteriormente no vale la pena comprarlo, en mi opinión… Expand

    - Graphics
    - Atmosphere
    - Sound
    - Music
    - Story

    Cons:
    - Game length

    Game length is the only reason this game is a 9 and not a 10. It could have been shortened by 5 hours and this game still would have been really great. At times it was kind of a drag just traversing the world... but I would do it again.

    Play this game. If you're emotionally mature and like a story that will make you think, you'll enjoy it.

    People are bashing this game because karma caught up to their childhood hero.    … Expand

    The most polarizing game I’ve ever seen. People who don’t like the game have good points, but I respectfully disagree. I think it’s as good if not better than the 1st game. I know that’s a controversial opinion but that’s fine.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game really had me filled with as much anger Ellie possesssed for revenge. I was like everyone else at first, hating Abby, hating Joel’s death, and wanting to just plainly quit the game. It’s a story that must be played fully, and then given a lot of thought after completing. In the end I left with my own critiques and thoughts on it that are still evolving. I just really can’t get over how fractured Ellie’s character is now. The staple characters are broken or dead, and it hurts to see their stories end so quickly and viciously. That’s life I geuss. I think we all understand violence is bad, revenge is bad, and cycles that perpetuate those things need to end. We have countless stories repeating that same thing because it never ends, nobody learns. violence won’t ever end. I suppose that’s why i atleast wanted Ellie to carry out her revenge pursuit, for the same appeasement revenge stories seem to frame with positive closure. This story didn’t do that, and it was something you had to deal with, just as the characters did. All In all, i think this story can promote inner growth too in a way. Although I think all stories are meant to be reflected upon. Give it some of your critical brain juice. It’s not bad writing. It’s just not the story you’re used too. Additional commentary: I really liked the portal of a fierce lesbian protagonist. She was just a person, and not just her sexuality. We need more portals of women just being people, not boxed into some genere. It was nice to see something of myself reflected on screen.… Expand

    I guess the best thing/fun thing about this game is playing the abby character. She was hilarious to play with. But the rest of the game was terrible.

    And then, I was like I paid full amount to play this game, so I finished it and as expected, it was a killjoy game. If you want to have the biggest disappointment with a sequel, this game is for you.    … Expand

    Assuming the “shock” doesn’t turn you off in the first couple hours, the first 12-15 hours of the game are rather enjoyable. Great scenery. Fun gameplay, albeit repetitive and straightforward. The second 12-15 hours... unbearable. Has completely turned me off from anything from anyone involved going forward. Too many lies and blatant falsehoods.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A lot has been said about this game. The only thing I can do after beating it is agreeing with the fact that it’s bad. Gameplay is fine but identical to the first one. The feeling is that the game drags itself so much over its welcome, due to decent but highly repetitive mechanics and level design. The first one had on its side a shorter length, and a much, much better storyline and characters. This part 2 goes in every single wrong direction it could, when it comes to these two aspects. It starts flushing away the most fundamental thing that EVERYONE wanted to see: the relationship between Joel and Ellie, killing off the first, and transforming the second into an unlikable sociopathic dumbass. All the other characters are either destroyed and marginalized (Tommy) or just forgettable in the best case, including Abby. I’ve seen many hating her so much. I couldn’t do even that. She just doesn’t make me feel anything. She’s so bi-dimensional that DoomGuy expresses infinite more personality with a couple of grunts. What made me feel extremely annoyed though is the way the writers try to trick the player in liking her with any sort of subterfuge, because oooh she plays with doggos, oooh look how she saves zebras, oooh look how she saves kids, oooh look how many friends she has, she must be the best person in the world. Well no, she is not. She is just a terribly written character (together with all her besties), with 0 character development and an atrociously boring and stupid storyline that goes nowhere and simply wastes your time. Even the LGBT representation is done much better in the first game (Bill and his side story are so well written, so sweet and at the same time so bitter. Definitely one of the best parts of the first game). Here things are just thrown in just for sake of politics, decontextualized, stereotyped and simply uninteresting. What I wanted to see in the game are Ellie and Joel, how they’re coping with the end of civilization (the best part of this whole thing is the flashback in the museum), I wanted to see developments with the infection, I wanted to see how humanity is surviving. I wanted lore, emotions, world building, character development. What I’ve got instead is Abby literally taking it in the ass in one of the worse sex scenes I’ve ever watched.

    Giving it a 5 because of the graphics. Seriously, I can’t understand how were they able to achieve this on an obsolete hardware such as PS4. This is going to be the benchmark for the new console generation, together with RDR2 and Death Stranding. And, hopefully, Cyberpunk 2077.

    Honestly, this game doesn't deserve as much hate as some of these people have given it. It actually exceeded my expectations. The only issues I have with the game is the independent jump button, which is unnecessary in my opinion. And some scenes needed to be rearranged to allow smoother story progression.

I understood most things on my first playthrough and now running a second playthrough to pick up on the things I have missed. There were a lot of callbacks to the first game and the DLC for those who didn't play the second game fully. Just like the first game, I give this a 9/10 as well. I can understand why some people do not like the game, but that shouldn't be the reason for the hate. The gameplay is phenomenal and I only encountered only one glitch that involves invisible walls over certain objects you can not shoot through. This is one of those games where you have to think about what you just experienced because there are messages and themes that you may not catch at first Give this game an honest try.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games ever made. From the visuals to the sound effects and music, there is so much quality you get that's not seen often in games.

    Do not listen to the emotionally immature kids on this site who in the emo state give it a 0 score,
    they are blinded by rage (ironically don't get the moral of the game: revenge destroys your own life) because of their bias for Joel who gets murdered in a way they do not like. Like many in that world whose lives were ended by Joel, he gets the same treatment. Instead of appreciating and understanding the development the characters went through which was shown in during the game, they only focus on 1 moment in the game.

    The long playthrough was very enjoyable. You get to witness both sides of the story. Abby was a likeable character. I enjoyed her part more. The ending is just perfect, I came to like both characters and didn't want any to die. The gameplay is never dull because there are so many ways you can complete the encounters. Stealth, kill, sneak by or a combination of these. The animation work is best I've ever seen in a game. The amount of options you can change is unreal.

    I can confidently say this is the best game on the PS4. Best played on PS4 Pro.
    Stunning visuals with HDR on my LG OLED and the sound effect, especially the gunshots were amazing. Therefore recommended to play with a good headset or a home theater system like I did.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved a lot about this game. The graphics, The terrain and sound design. The gameplay was rather enjoyable but a bit repetitive. I liked and hated the story. I think everyone knew even without seeing the leak that Joel would die. I don't dislike that he died, but the way he died felt so quick and dry. It felt as if they were just trying to kill him super quick and it felt unjust. I'd rather see him dying a heroic death than the one I was given. But enough about Joel's death. The ending is something i didn't hate nor like. You as the player have either seen Abby's dead friends or killed the rest of them. So why not kill Abby? Because Other people (like Lev) might come for you? You've gone this far just to track her down and kill her, and now you give up because you're scared? And then my BIGGEST hate for this game is playing as Abby Whilst fighting Ellie. Just why? I see a lot of people comparing it to playing as Micah after killing Arthur and comparing Abby to Micah. I see why some people see it like that. With the first statement I completely agree. For all the players that played the first game, they (probably) felt connected to Joel (Same as with Arthur) But to then play as their Killer is something most people would hate. Now for the second statement. I disagree completely. Micah was meant to be hated, Abby was meant to be sympathized with. As a "Final Verdict" I definitely recommend this game to players loving a sad, emotional story. There are definitely some good moral things in there.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece arguably let down by it’s introduction of an unexpected protagonist Abby, heavy use of flashbacks which arguably spoil its pacing, and largely depressing revenge story of Ellie left struggling to cope with PTSD after witnessing the brutal execution of a beloved central character . Many of the gripes about playing the game with a new character however, become less felt once you complete the game. The new game plus further allowing you to relive the story with all your hard earned upgrades carrying over. You also have a new mode allowing you to replay combat scenarios and exploration if you don’t feel like replaying the story cutscenes and flashback sequences.

    Epic and memorable if tragic story. Great combat and exploration, great AI and intensely detailed environments. It’s a masterpiece of game but perhaps not terribly popular with fans of the first game.

    I don't get all the bad raving about this game. I think it was a masterpiece, and a worthy successor to TLOU in every way. The story just happens to be dark and very realistic and reasonable.

    I ended up appreciating Abby's motive more than Ellie's or Joel, and was rooting for Abby till the very end. I'm glad they didn't lol her off.

    I don't understand why this game is getting so much hate. I loved every second of this game, from beginning to end, and I respect the Naughty Dogs writers and Niel Druckmann for making bold and risky decisions with TLOUP2's characters and it's story. I didn't know where the narrative was going to go next, and it truly kept me interested and wanting to know what happens in the story next. There are some truly epic and scary/tense moments in this game, where I couldn't believe how terrified I was to walk down some corridors. I also really love the new characters, and hope to see an expansion of the story for some of them. If you haven't played this game, and are solely basing that decision off of leaks, or negative reviews, I encourage you to do so and make your own opinion. Most of the negativity is coming from one single beat in the story, and this game is so much more than just that moment. And even if the story doesn't do it for you, the gameplay is a lot of fun. The combat has been much more polished since the original game, and it's seriously a blast to play. The last positive, but certainly not least, is the graphics. This game is gorgeous. Walking through the nature/fungus infested seattle is an incredible experience. Thanks to naughty dogs tech and some top notch acting, character's movement and facial animations are so life-like and really bring out all of the emotions that all the characters are going through. And the infected have never been creepier.

    The Bad:
    The only negative thing I will say is that I felt that some of the game did drag a little bit between cutscenes and story events. The game wants you to explore for supplies, collectables, etc. And, while I love this and really enjoy finding journals and letters of people long gone, I can also see where this can be a chore to some. If they shortened a few of these moments and some of the filler moments of the story, I think this would have been a 10/10 for me.

    The Ugly:
    I did have a bug occur twice where I fell through the floor. Wasn't game breaking and I didn't lose any progress, just an observation.    … Expand

    With the new movement and actions, a new way of moving through the scenarios was created, although little used the way of throwing cables could have generated very interesting puzzles.

    As for the story, I understand the motivation of the characters and how each one arrived in this emotional state, however the best story was on account of the secondary Lev and his sister.

Não bastasse isto, vc. joga mais da metade do jogo com esta infeliz, que não traz empatia nenhuma ao jogador! E o final, ah, o final é uma droga, sem dúvida, um dos piores jogos que joguei na minha vida! Salva apenas os gráficos e o gameplay, pois o resto, pode jogar fora e fazer outro jogo!

What will be from now on to us loyal players is your going to eventually come out with a new IP and then you're going to make a sequel years later and we will be expecting something bad from here on out and it is what it is. What you need to understand is the real gamers who actually enjoyed the game and aren't just review bombing, the people that put that last of us game in their hearts and was hoping that a second one would be just as good or better, we're the ones who are hurt but you obviously don't see that and you obviously don't care because you got your money it broke record sales and that is all you care about … Expand

Yeah im sure tens of thousands of people finished a 25 hour game in 3 hours and decided it was a 0/10. I mean come on the amazing graphics, sound design, animations, graphics are worth 0 points? I didn't read any spoilers/leaks and I loved the game. Yeah it's not perfect but compared to the average game it's in a totally different league. It brought out a lot of emotions (good and bad) and made me think a lot, and am still thinking about it 2 weeks after finishing it. A lot of people saw spoilers, decided they hated it and didn't give it a legit chance (or didn't even play it at all), blew the negatives out of proportion and minimized the good parts of the game. People look at the original through rose-colored glasses, yeah it was a great game but it wasn't perfect either. Bottom line people are sad/mad because a character they like died, but Ned Stark died suddenly and brutally and everyone praised GoT for being so ballsy to kill off a main character. At the end of the day it's a game and the amount of hatred this game has brought into the world is sad and ridiculous. Not liking something is one thing, but sending death threats to the creators/actors that played a character you dont like is absurd.… Expand

    Before I start, I ask that you consider the opinions of others, at least with the audience reviews. Though many people provide something vague, misspelled, or generally unhelpful in their reviews for both the positive and negative, it should be taken into account that those who bought the game for the sole purpose of loving or hating it in such a hyperbolic way are in the vast minority.Before I start, I ask that you consider the opinions of others, at least with the audience reviews. Though many people provide something vague, misspelled, or generally unhelpful in their reviews for both the positive and negative, it should be taken into account that those who bought the game for the sole purpose of loving or hating it in such a hyperbolic way are in the vast minority. Most people are genuinely happy or frustrated, and though the June 19th reviews aren't a very good way to look at the whole of the game, they shouldn't be completely dismissed.

    I made this account to give a lower score than I had given this game in my initial review. When I tried to log into my previous account, I couldn't reset my password, the website refused to load multiple times, and though I'm not going to start getting conspiratorial about the reasons, I was frustrated enough with nothing working that I decided to make another account to give a lower score than the 4 I first gave it.

    I already thought the game was unenjoyable. I'd be okay with it not being fun, but outside of the game's visuals, audio, and some great setpieces that were scattered here and there, There's very little to appreciate.

    The game seems to have fallen into the trap that a lot of entertainment I enjoyed until recently has: it puts too much emphasis on big narrative/thematic moments and not enough on what builds up to them. You can see that in The Last Jedi (and the ninth movie, but after it its predecessor so thoroughly derailed the trilogy, I can't help but at least commend JJ Abrams for the attempt), Suicide Squad, the 11th and 12th seasons of Doctor Who, the finale of Steven Universe, and from what I've heard, the 8th season of Game of Thrones. The game often hinges upon coincidence or contrivance, characters often make choices that seem to lack buildup or justification, and characters' personalities change drastically and without the player knowing why until it's too late for one's immersion. Like some of the aforementioned entertainment, many of this game's characters are uninteresting, and while the player is supposed to be invested in them via proximity to various protagonists, there are barely any characters that are interesting on their own.

    While gameplay has been slightly expanded, it's almost dishonest to say that you have more options than before. The levels are more sprawling, and you have more freedom of movement, but levels are also way more confusing to navigate as a result. Stealthing through sections is nigh impossible on the first go, which forces you into combat unless you want to save scum. In the first game, combat felt raw, but in this one, it feels downright brutal. The ways that you kill people and their various companions are just as detailed as the landscapes, and the amount of violence made those sections awful to play. The only way I could go through with killing people in this game is by actively trying to de-immerse myself from those sections. A lot of the time, the only reason I kept playing was to see whether I'd like whatever came next. As stated before, I rarely did.

    To compare this game to the first Last of Us (which I replayed to ensure I'm not relying on rose-tinted glasses), it's a far cry from the greatness of the original. The characters in the first game were believable and interesting, as were the environments. It was definitely bleak at times, but it was never enough to make me put down the controller and take a break. With this game, I had to frequently. I realize that the interactions between the characters were a massive part of what made the first game so great, because no interactions in this game come close.

    All of that was a 4 to me. I said in my previous review that I would've given it a 5, but that I wanted my score to reflect my enjoyment of the game. This new score is half of that 4 because the game has continued to bring down my mood long after I put down the controller. Never have I played something so completely, agonizingly depressing that I still feel worse for a multitude of weeks after.

    I hate wasting my time. After seeing livestreams of the ending chapter I couldn't bring myself to play, I feel like all the time I put into that game, all the emotions I felt or forced myself not to feel, all the times I've thought about it, all the times it's made me depressed, bitter, or disappointed, all of it has been a complete waste of my time. The worst part about this game is that it's not easy to outright hate. I'd rather say "screw this game, it completely sucks", and leave it at that. I really wish I could, but it's not something I can so easily dismiss. I wanted to love this game, and now I just wish that someone could convince me to like it.

    Here's hoping.    … Expand

Ок, игра не шедевр, но говном её назвать я точно не могу, геймплей с первой части кардинально не изменился, есть приятные добавления по типу уворота, но мы занимаемся тем же, что и в первой части, графика и отношение догов к деталям меня поразило, но основной объект споров - это сюжет. Он, откровенно говоря, странный, первая половина за Элли восхитительна, но потом приходит Эбби. И нет, к ней претензии не потому что АНА УБИЛА ДЖОИЛА АХ АНА ТВАРЬ!!! Я не мог ей сопереживать, с её отцом мы были знакомы от силы 10 минут, ну спас он зебру, молодец. Но его смерть не вызвала абсолютно никаких эмоций. Также я не понял с какой кстати Эбби помогала двум азиатам из вражеской группировки. Она убивала серафитов пачками, а тут ей жизнь спасли, и она сразу же четверть игры помогает им, а потом тупо предает свою группировку, своих друзей и знакомых. Вопрос, почему же она тогда Джоела убила, если он спас ей жизнь в начале игры? Я не хочу срать Эбби за убийство Джоела, так как у неё полно других проблем. Дальше, азиат-трансгендер, тип у нас постапокалипсис, откуда у тебя время на определения своего пола, когда тебе надо думать как не сдохнуть от зомбаков и как найти пропитание? Финал игры, во-первых, они превратили Элли в мудачку, которая бросила Дину с ребёнком ради мести, а потом пройдя огромное расстояние она отпустила Эбби, после чего она осталась без Дины, без мести, без возможности даже сыграть на гитаре. Сначала я поносил эту концовку, но потом переосмыслил её и понял, что она не настолько ужасна. Я понял, что стоит ценить своих близких, пока они у тебя есть, потому что они могут резко захотеть поиграть в гольф с подругами, а потом пропасть. В игре также были крайне драйвовые и эпичные сцены (сцена в горящей деревне, битва с чупокаброй ебучей в больнице.) и когда я играл, меня не отпускали эти моменты и я хотел играть ещё и еще. Но, очень часто мне играть было скучно, особенно, за Эбби, так как её сюжет - это просто филлер без какого либо развития. Представьте, вы кушаете пиццу, очень вкусную пиццу, а когда вы съели половину, то приходит Нил и говорит : "ну все, теперь возвращайся назад и кушай пиццу с ананасами, которую никто не любит, а потом сможешь вернуться к первой крайне вкусной пицце и доесть, только вот ты уже потом наелся (предварительно проблевавшись с ананасовый пиццы) и с трудом доедаешь остатки прошлой. Я получил, конечно, удовольствие от игры, но я не советую брать её за фулл прайс. Подождите скидок, серьёзно, игра не стоит 4,5к рублей. Поставил бы 8 или даже 9 баллов, если бы Эбби получше прописали и сделали бы её историю хоть сколько нибудь значимой… Expand

    + скрытность (наконец-то появилась возможность ползать, прятаться в траве и делать глушители)
    + динамика боя (открытые схватки с противниками очень напряженные и динамичные, чувствуешь каждый выстрел и удар, как твой, так и противника)
    + оптимизация (игра невероятно стабильно показывает 30 кадров в сценах любой сложности на любой из консолей PlayStation)
    + звуки (объёмные звуки выстрелов, бьющегося стекла, шагов и зараженных)
    + разнообразие врагов (появилось несколько разных группировок со своими особенностями, собаки и несколько новых зараженных)
    + настройки (первая игра, в которой содержится так много настроек для людей с любыми отклонениями и проблем с моторикой, а также гибкая настройка уровня сложности)
    + отсутствие загрузок (игру можно пройти всего с одним загрузочным экраном - при запуске игры; быстрая загрузка КТ при смерти персонажа, не отрывает от погружения)
    + очеловечивание врагов (противники перекрикиваются по именам, каждый кому-то родня, друг, брат, сват - очень придаёт атмосферы)
    + открытие сейфов (это уже не просто записка с кодом неподалёку, а это записка с напоминанием о дате свадьбы, номером выигрышного билета в лотерею, пароль от Wi-Fi или номер квартиры соседей)

    Минусы: не выделил.

    Может не понравиться:
    = сюжет и концовка (концовка - совсем не то, чего ждёшь всю игру)
    = немного затянутый геймплей (с середины игры может надоесть собирать припасы, т.к. это занимает достаточно много времени)

    Итог: игра однозначно превзошла первую часть в плане графики и геймплейных фишек, но большинство может не устроить неоднозначный сюжет и концовка, а также присутствие ЛГБТ тем в повествовании.    … Expand

    People should grow up and learn about story structure before criticising that thing exactly. When talking about story "manipulating emotions" is not a thing, and if it is it's what every story or piece of art does because it's what it's meant to do. I think this game is nearly perfect, I liked the first more, but that doesn't take anything away from this one.

    Problem with this game is they went and created a load of metacritic fake accounts and boosted the score lol. the real game is not actually very a good at all. and metacritic also halted the negative reviews, took me at least a week to get my review up because they did some shady blocking of negative reviews. you will not enjoy this game unless you pay less for it period. the story isProblem with this game is they went and created a load of metacritic fake accounts and boosted the score lol. the real game is not actually very a good at all. and metacritic also halted the negative reviews, took me at least a week to get my review up because they did some shady blocking of negative reviews. you will not enjoy this game unless you pay less for it period. the story is lacklustre and kind of hard to keep up with let alone finish cos of the gore and random characters. glad i got my and sent it straight back to amazon for a refund. never will i trust a game review site again after this scandal… Expand

    Not going into a lot of detail at all but the game was great with the flaws that it did have. The story could have been better but for what we got it was good but lasted to long and should have ended sooner then it did. Ellie and Abby were both good characters and I am excited to see where The Last of Us goes from here I just didn't like the whole revenge plot as much as I thought I would.Not going into a lot of detail at all but the game was great with the flaws that it did have.

Gameplay was just as good as it was from the first game so it didn't need changing and the acting in the game was first class. it isn't a 10/10 from me and the first game was better but this holds up pretty well IMO… Expand

    I'm giving this a straight 10 just to spite the massive hate on this review thread that not all of which is deserved.

    This game shows it to be one of the most controversial and divisive games released in this generation. Simply looking at the user score distribution will prove that. Half the users were either positive or negative with very few finding themselves to be in the middle.

    This game shows it to be one of the most controversial and divisive games released in this generation. Simply looking at the user score distribution will prove that. Half the users were either positive or negative with very few finding themselves to be in the middle. This is mainly due to the fact that this is a story-driven game that wakes a lot of emotions in people, whether good or bad.

    Naughty Dog did something quite risky, some would call bold, some would call presumptuous or perhaps arrogant. They spent not a insignificant amount of the game's playtime to build up a new character that the player was initially led to hate. It's quite a feat to turn the head of a first impression of a character like that. If for whatever reason the player does not reach a point of sympathy towards this character, then large parts of the narrative falls flat causing the player to feel frustrated, angry, disappointed, which is apparent from many of the other comments. People review in anger and disappointment, giving the game a 0 as their outlet.

    If a player does reach this point of sympathy to this initially hated character then the story takes on another shape and size entirely. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, even if I was worried at some points. But Naughty Dog succeeded in creating this sympathy in me that perhaps fails for others. And I love the first game and its characters as much as anyone else, I was just as emotionally involved. And so my point of view won't be the same as those who spent half the game just vehemently angry.

    At the end of the day, this game is very different from its precursor. TLOU was a simple and straightforward -- but rewarding -- story. Part 2 is messier and more chaotic in its structure. This is neither good or bad, it's simply a different way to tell a story. I appreciated that there were limited actual playable flashbacks and limited character backstory since those are always gratuitous to me.
    TLOU was about hope. about love. Part 2 is about revenge, about hate. But there are hopeful parts to it, and love as well, if people wish to see it.    … Expand

    It's sad videogame media has gone the ideological direction to promote a game that clearly doesn't deserve these absurdly high scores. It is bland, simply put. They focused in use it as a piece of propaganda so much they forgot about the aspects of what makes a good game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's pretty clear from reading the negative reviews that many of them either 1) decided to hate the game when they read out-of-context spoilers, which wrecked their experience, but they're too immature to see that, or 2) they never played the game, but hate "SJWs" and see a chance to blame SJWs for "yet another game wrecked by their agenda." If you're labeling any game that veers from the "straight white protagonist" format as "SJW propaganda," then the problem is you. Grow the f*** up.

    Yes, there's LGBTQ+ plot elements but nothing about the story or the characters struck me as "token SJW characters." Many were angry about Joel's death, but the game gave me the full spectrum of emotional experience within 25-30 hours of playtime. It's classic Naughty Dog, and anyone that thinks the Last of Us would make you feel "safe" clearly wasn't paying attention and most certainly did NOT play the original's DLC.

    It's not perfect. The game spends more time on the primary characters (Ellie, Abby) and so the secondary character development suffers a bit. They're not terrible, but none of them approach the memorability of Tess or Bill. The open-world format of Seattle Day 1 dragged a bit.

    Still... it's not "a revenge game." Go watch John Wick or play one of the countless games already made on that topic. It's much deeper than that. All of the characters--Joel, Ellie, Abby, Tommy, and many others--have done unspeakable things that were "justified" in their eyes. This game is about what we become when we seek revenge, but also about learning to forgive the unforgivable. This last part is more about Joel and Ellie than Ellie and Abby--how do you make peace with someone that was taken from you?

    I'm happy to play a game that surprises me. Subverting expectations NEVER guarantees a great story, but playing it safe ALWAYS prevents a memorable one. Kudos to Naughty Dog, I'll happily wait another 5 years for Part III.

    And **** all of you going on about trans characters and other 4 Chan **** Head for the door and come back when you learn to think for yourselves.    … Expand

    Le jeu est techniquement assez bluffant et bourré de détails . (la végétation est vraiment magnifique après faut pas trop regarder les arbres ect...)
    la DA est l’ambiance sont top, rien a dire de ce coté là.
    les animations et expressions sont top également si on parle uniquement des personnages joués bien entendu. (et encore quand vous faites un saut sur place faut voir la gueule de l'animation...)

    l'histoire, c’était tellement mauvais que ça m'a presque donné le cancer.... j'ai pas capté ce qu'ils ont voulu nous faire passé comme message car l’écriture est tellement fade et inintéressante que je pense que même un gamin de 8ans aurait mieux fait.....

    bref ce n'est pas une total déception pour moi mais presque, le jeu reste bon dans l'ensemble.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un juego bueno en jugabilidad y en todo es bueno yo le doy en graficos y jugabilidad es una gozada le doy 10/10 pero en la historia que siento que la cagaron un poco ya que yo por lo menos no queria jugar con Abby y me senti muy agobiado jugando con ella la mitad del juego ya que jugar con la asesina de unos personajes que mas me gustaron de todos los juego que es Joel y por eso yo todavia tenia la sed de sangre y queria asesinar a Abby con Ellie y el final no tiene mucha logica ya que mato a demasiada de gente y cuando esta a punto de conseguir lo que queria se echa para atras y Joel en su caso hubiera acabado a medio mundo si hubiera sido al revez pero si Ellie no es igual a Joel pero si me hubieran dado de elegir entre matar a Abby o dejarla vivir yo hubiera elegido asesinarla. Esta es mi opinion y espero que la respeten a la historia le doy un 6/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first game so much! i consider it my favorite game of all time because everything was right with this one! Loved especially the characters. So when the 2nd game was announced and Ellie and Joel where in it I was hyped for this game. I did not get spoiled by those leaks and at first I thought: This game is great! It looks absolutely gorgeous, has so many nice details like the guitar playing. but than the second half of the game happend... where I was forced to play as the antagonist **** that killed my favorite game character of all time.... I hated every second i had to play abby! just run through the levels without collecting or talking to anyone. I wanted to play Ellie again... wanted "my" revenge. I hoped for a God of War like sequence where you can smash the punching button till eternity but noooo.... Abby gets away after she almost killed Ellie... the game was advertised as an revenge story!!! Great revenge Story without delivering in the End... Jesus Christ! Never in my life was i so disappointed and straight up enraged by an "Entertainment Medium"
    So when the Naughty Dog Logo appeared after the game ends all i could shout out was FU!
    I literally singed up here just because i wanna write a negative review for this piece of garbage! Naughty Dog took a huge dump on my Favorite characters and i Hope they get ALL of the **** out there! A god damned **** Hurricane!    … Expand

    A masterpiece in story-telling, wish more writers would be brave and take that approach and not let the dim-witted general populace ground their vision of what they want to tell.
    10/10 easily the best game of this generation,

    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]
