    I didn't think it was possible to make a better sequel than the first, but somehow they found a way. Improved in almost every area. I hated the story at first but slowly welcomed it. This is a true masterpiece, cant wait to play it again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. English is not my first language, so please give me the benefit of the doubt, especially when discussing faith- and LGBTQ-issues.

    Every once in a while a person is in a position where they are able to create a cultural artefact that’s a quantum leap above everything else in that artform. It takes a lot of talent, hard work and resources, along with help from other people, but they’re able to create something lasting that brings the culture in which they work forward in a big way. I think Neil Druckmann is in that position, and The last of us (part 1) is one of those quantum leaping artefacts. It tells a story that’s engaging and challenging and wraps it in gameplay that’s equally engaging and challenging and leaves you in that place where good art can’t take you but great art can: emotional uproar, not just satisfaction.

    I think The Last of Us Part II is a great game, easily one of the best I’ve played, and a worthy sequel that builds upon the things that made the first game amazing and that also doesn’t shy away from trying to say something about the extremes of the human experience while still portraying things that are too often seen as extremes as completely un-dramatic. It is however a game of two parts: story and gameplay (and of course in many other ways too), and to me those two parts are not equally as impressive this time around.

    While the ending in the first game leaves you with an open question, namely whether you too would sacrifice mankind and your daughter’s love to save her life, this sequel leaves you with a much more closed statement, namely that vengeance leads to the destruction of yourself and of that which is dear to you. That’s at the same time more hopeful than the ending of part 1, since at least the characters end up learning something, but also less satisfying since it is a story we have been told many times before, and it doesn’t pull the rug out from under you in the same way. I felt like someone had simultaneously punched me in my stomach and made all other games into childish toys after finishing the first game, and after this I just felt tired and drained and a little bit frustrated. Not because I think the thesis of the game isn’t a valid one, nor because I think I could have done it better myself, but mostly because it has at least three too many endings, and a couple of narrative beats towards the end that felt superfluous to me.

    The gameplay part I really liked! It felt awesome to be a badass, both as Ellie and as Abby, and I liked how they made me play differently. Especially I liked how playing as Abby hade me take bigger risks and go in and out of stealth more than when playing as Ellie, where I felt like i failed if anyone saw me. I look forward to starting ng+ and take what I’ve learned from that into a new playthrough and bring a little more confidence.

    I didn’t have that much trouble getting through any encounter (except for the damned rat-king...), but I felt like that was because I was playing well and making smart choices about which enemy to go for next and in what way, and not because the game was easy.
    I liked making the infected attack my human enemies, but was expecting that kind of mixed encounters to be more frequent.
    I’m a bit ambivalent about the open world section. It really stands out as a great place to explore, but I kind of forgot about it quickly after it was over and it feels a little strange to have that “bubble” in an otherwise linear game. Although I can see how it is important to have a little bit of light, almost frothy, adventuring before descending into hell.

    I do understand that not everyone wants to have “politics” polluting their gaming experience, and I think that’s a fair point. If I, as a left wing, atheistic swede, played a game that forced me to burn down an abortion clinic, I would question its motives and why the creator felt the need to put that in there. I might even feel a great deal of animosity toward the people involved in making the game. That said, I loved the diversity in this game and how it was just presented as a matter of fact. Prejudices exist in this world, but the story isn’t about them, and in many ways the world has just moved on from them.
    Abby’s physique made me think that she was trans, I’ll admit. That misconception was reinforced many times for instance by dialogue, and I’ll even admit that I thought the position she and Owen chose when they had sex was a hint... That’s me being prejudiced and I’ll own up to it and be grateful that this game showed me that I have those prejudices.

    To summarize my feelings about this game I would say that it’s on the cusp of being great art, but absolutely one of the greatest games I’ve played.
    Thanks for reading this far and may your survival be long!

    It's a fantastic game, the story is clever, perhaps to many and to long cuts scenes but in general it's brilliantly made and told. The ratings of zero should all be ignored, imagine how poor a game needs to be to justify that score, so play it and see to realise the user scores are just mob rule, or this group think because its the 'thing' to do.

    Amazing follow up to the original title, the story was great and multiple viewpoints added to the depth. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and the final acts really hit hard. I understand some of the criticism but none of it deserves negative scores it has. It takes a bit of critical thinking and extrapolation on the players part but it is an amazing story and narrative.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Opinión, valoración y comentarios sobre el The Last of Us 2 (hay algún spoiler así que si no queréis leer algo así saltadlo):

    1. Hay más evolución en el personaje de Abby porque es un personaje nuevo y necesitan darle una gran trascendencia para que pueda rivalizar con Ellie en la historia y crear un escenario interesante
    2. Ellie "no evoluciona" tanto como Abby por lo primero y porque sólo al final "entiende que debía dejar a un lado su venganza" o se siente satisfecha con casi matar a Abby.
    3. Ellie no es que no "aprende" de la venganza, lo hace justo antes de matar a Abby. Abby gana y Ellie pierde, para mí. No logra matarla y Abby se va con su venganza cumplida. Ellie debió matarla y cumplir su venganza. Ese era su destino, lamentablemente igual que lamentables todas las matanzas en el juego. Yo creo que busca la venganza y la consigue pero está tan destruida y cansada que no logra concretarla y se detiene antes de matar a Abby porque con la paliza y la pelea ya ha llenado su deseo de venganza. El casi matarla le ha logrado llenar esa necesidad de redimir la muerte de Joel y decide en el último minuto, movida también por la pesadumbre de semejantes masacres en las que ha estado involucrada hace sólo poco tiempo, soltarla. Ya no va a buscarla pero la ha casi obtenido. No creo que crea en que debe detener su venganza y yo tampoco creo en detener una venganza así. Cuando te matan a un padre es ir a buscar al culpable hasta matarle y eso es lo que ha hecho Ellie, lo ha cumplido hasta el último segundo y ha parado sólo ahí, en un instante límite, y eso es lo que marca el trofeo "Hice lo que tenía que hacer" aunque eso le desolara, ese era su destino.
    4. No es un gran juego. Es un buen juego, si quieren hasta un muy buen juego pero no un gran juego. Es muy amarillista, usa mucho la violencia, es terriblemente e innecesariamente cruel con niños, embarazadas, perros. Es un pasquín de juego. Un juego así no puede ser un gran juego. Ni siquiera es disfrutable, es muy desagradable, solamente glorificado por quienes alaban ese nivel de violencia y la guardan dentro. Para las personas con mundo emocional normal este juego no es ni siquiera disfrutable, es un empalague y un sentimiento de contrariado constante, es muy agrio, y muy poco de él es realmente disfrutable. Para mí, no es ni un muy buen juego, sino uno bueno. 7, 7.5, y si estiramos un 8. Yo me quedo con el 7. El querer florear las cosas o dorar la píldora con "esto es un elemento distinto a las demás historias con el que han arriesgado mucho y eso tiene mérito" no me suma para divertirme ni disfrutar la historia, pavo, se lo digo en general al que piense en darle vueltas al juego analizando las cosas que puedan o no tener mérito que haya hecho distintas y por eso quiera subirle la nota al 10, que dejen de estar metidos en guerras de consolas, joder. Es como el jazz de los méritos gráficos de detallitos en los escenarios fotorealistas, son pajas mentales sin importancia. Este juego es como un trabajo malo, pesado, muy pesado. 7.

    Algunos Youtubers que son muy negativos con el juego en este caso tiene razón en varias cosas y en otras discrepo como decir que la historia es una basofia, no lo es, es buena, pero no es una gran cosa que podamos decir: concuerdo con ellos en que la música es casi inexistente, anti melódica y ambienta, pero lo hace de una forma muy tangencial y muy poco satisfactoria, casi genérica. Los efectos de sonido son bastante violentos, nada agradables, muy amarillistas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a masterpiece. I don't understand such a low user rating. It's really a top notch triple A game. Outstanding graphics and controls. Seemless transitions from gameplay to cutscenes, great cinematics and gameplay. It's a nice long beefy story. When you're really enjoying a game, you don't want it to end. This game satisfies in that regard. We take things for granted at times as far as gameplay, controls, transitions, etc. I'm now playing Ghost of Tsushima which is a fun game but TLOU2 is just a more polished experience. I think some folks are just never satisfied. I like Ghost of Tsushima but I have no idea how it could be rated higher than this game. It's one of the best ever made in my opinion. Naughty Dog is the best developer out there right now.

    My only gripe is that they killed Joel. I see how it sets the arc for the story but they could have done it another way besides killing him. They could have made it so he was badly beaten and Ellie set out for revenge and then incorporated him late in the game somehow after he'd recovered. Just one idea. I did feel like they were force feeding LGBTQ representation down our throat by not only consistently reminding us that Ellie is a lesbian but putting a transgender character in the game as well. Just seemed like it was forced and meanwhile they kill off the male lead in the beginning of the game. I think every fan of this game wanted some more time to play as Joel and that was a failure. I didn't have a problem with Ellie taking the lead but give us some Joel too!

A bold narrative choice to play the story of the killer of a beloved main character will unsettle a lot of fans, but I found this to be unique and gripping. The story forces you to question what is right and wrong when the world goes into violent, apocalyptic chaos. Gameplay is the same model as the first but with many quality of life improvements. I found myself engrossed in this world once again caring about characters old and new. Honestly this game delivered emotion much more effectively than most movies I've seen in recent years. If you enjoyed the first, i highly reccomend you give this sequel a shot.

I hate Naughty Dog in one moment - That both of this games have a **** ending, which I hate. Ending - innuendo. This lesbian line in this not destroy main stoty and gameplay. For me, this game shows how really people can`t control their own emotions. I will not say anything about gameplay, BECAUSE IT AMAZING.
    I put a grade 9 because of again **** up ending with a LOT of QUESTIONS, and because a few moments with main story between characters. I`ve played first part meybe 4 or 5 times. But this game, I`ll never play twice, because I don`t want to kill myself emotionally. So, I highly recommend this game to play, to normal people. Neil told us that he write this like an end of the story, but I think, fans will not give him an opportunity to leave it like that. I will dream about 3 part, and this EXACTLY should be THE LAST ONE.

    Piece to all of YOU! :)

    An absolute masterpiece. Fantastic story and rewarding gameplay. You probably won't enjoy the story if you only enjoy straightforward simple narrative with black and white characters (and there is nothing wrong with that) so if that's your cup of tea don't expect much from the story. Definitely pick this game up and give it a go. Worth the money and might even make you think.

    Best game of the PS4 graphically speaking. Naughty Dog knows how to take advantage of the PS consoles to the max, and The Last of Us II is the irrefutable proof.
    Beautiful settings, amazing storytelling, character development is well worked. Combat feels super realistic, when taking a shot or an arrow, you really feel the impact and can’t rush the shooter like most games or you’ll be

Like many other users, this sometimes included rage. HOWEVER, honestly after finishing the game and playing the whole way through I left feeling honestly quite satisfied with the game as a whole. Admittedly, I did take some time away from the game in the middle when I felt like my negative emotions were affecting my ability to play the game without bias, and when I returned it honestly felt a lot better. I'm usually the sort of person to play through a whole game as fast as possible, but THIS IS NOT THE GAME FOR THAT - if you want to process the point of the plot that is. Ultimately, this is a story about the terrible cycle of revenge and how it affects yourself and the people around you. We as players all seem to have successfully taken on the anger and vengeful emotions that the story tries to evoke in us, but haven't embraced the message the game is trying to portray - that we need to let these go.

    Outside of the plot, the gameplay is actually markedly improved compared to the first one, there are a number of small changes and details that make the game very satisfying to play. The game also has a brilliant soundtrack. There are new types of enemies to fight, with some new and old mechanics mixed in and this gives the game a fresh sort of challenge to navigate. The exploration is much nicer in this than the original, just in my own opinion.

    This game series has always been about highlighting some of the awful parts of humanity, mixed with both moments of tranquility and despair and honestly I think this game does continue those themes beautifully - if frustratingly, at first. I honestly reckon you should take the time to give it a shot, and take it at a pace where you won't be judging everything you see at first glance.

    Just like the first game, it feels like you are playing a movie with your controller. So many of your emotions will be played on during the 20 to 35 hours of intense gameplay.

At times the game seems to be a very odd pace, for example there will be a major firefight then intense battle with infected then nothing... nothing but exploring for an extended period of time and collecting items for the next big fight. This would be my only thing I dislike about the game, the uneven pacing involved. Other then that I loved the game. At certain times it was hard to play because of how intense the storyline is. Neil druckman was not kidding when he said this game is about the vicious horrible cycle of violence, there is no real bad guys in the game, no right or wrong. Just violence, hate and revenge, but pieced together in a way you understand and see why it is happening between the different groups of people. It forces you to see the differnt points of view, and even tho you might not like certain characters in the game for the things they’ve done or the choices they make, after time you’ll come to understand fully why each character does the things they do, even if their actions are HORRIBLE,
    But, this game is amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND playing it, at times you’ll want to shut it off and quit playing. DONT, keep going, keep going till you reach the end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is for the storytelling part, as I was a backseat gamer for this game.

    As a person who can't handle horror themed content but loves a good story I have decided to watch others play this game and the one before it.

    We fell in love with Joel and Ellie in the first installment. When Joel killed all these people and rescued Ellie from death I felt relief but also knew that Joel just erased humanity's one shot to find a cure. He killed many people, including Abby's dad whom was the only person who could try and make a cure.

    At the beginning of the second game Joel is killed by Abby in front of Ellie, and it immediately makes us hate her guts.
    Then at the second half of the game we get to play as her again, get to hear her stories, see her past, her attachments to her dad (again, Joel killed him) and her friends that we just killed as Ellie. I don't know about you guys - but by the end of the game I just hoped they would stop trying to kill each other. They hurt each other enough. Even though I feel like I can't forgive Abby for what she had done I also feel like I no longer has a desire to see Ellie kills her.

    So when Ellie finally let go, I was relieved.

    The story did it's job by making me see the other side and eventually get off the revenge horse they had put me on in the first place.
    Abby's revenge ruined her relationships and got her friends killed.
    Ellie's revenge got Jesse killed and almost Dina, and might have ruined her relationship with her.
    So now it's time to let go and focus on the things that truly matters.

    I gave it an 8 out of 10 because it was not executed, in my opinion, in a way that was compelling enough to make you super invested in both Ellie's and Abby's stories. It's only around when they actually get to confront each other that it got interesting and intense. But their journeys for the most part was not as such.

Life is not just about revenge, and we may lose the good things in life by taking revenge.

It felt the weakest part story wise , her PTSD wasn't very explored and I think the Tommy scene was clumbsy as a triggeru.
