    One of the best games of all time, excellent history, enviable graphics and great gameplay is certainly a Game of The Year competitor and probably a winner.

    Beautifully made game, maintains the tension and jump scares of the first game, amazing story line but not for snowflakes or people just looking for a remake of the first game. Combat can get a little tedious because the levels are so damn big, but offers a lot of exploration and hidden gems.

    This is the best video game story I've ever seen. It depicts the complexity of human emotions and the complexity of human behaviors. It does not have just one-dimensional characters like many other games.

    A ND conseguiu entregar a melhor experiência desta geração. Tecnicamente o jogo é incrível em todos os quesitos: gameplay, gráficos, cenários e combates. O roteiro muito bem conduzido até o desfecho, carregado de dor e sofrimento, uma ótima representação do que é viver um mundo apocalíptico, já que neste contexto, os infectados são os menores dos problemas.

The plot is really far from the atmosphere of the first part, but with its unsurpassed chips and unique gameplay. If you cast aside all your prejudices, then you will get unforgettable pleasure from the passage. I strongly recommend it to everyone!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is very good, and while I understand most of the criticism regarding the story, I don't agree with what seems to be a common thread in many of the reviews - that games have to deliver the story YOU want. It drags on a bit, loses a lot of momentum around the middle, where it is also hard to get invested. All of that is true, I think. That being said, the story isn't really that bad. Characters that I love made choices that I strongly disagreed with. It made me uncomfortable, but I also didn't feel pandered to, which I think is pretty valuable in this day and age. Some have objected that the game is SJW propaganda, but I think that's ridiculous, when you've actually played the game. There is a trans-person in the story as well as a couple of lesbians, but those aren't their defining traits. They are actually fully fleshed-out characters, and their presence doesn't make the story any less relatable to me, a straight white man. You can still disagree with all the story choices, characters and such, I guess, but I really feel you're missing the forest for the trees if you focus in on those aspects, and blow them out of proportion.

    The game is absolutely visually stunning, the sound design is phenomenal and the acting lives up to the standard that Naughty Dog has set since the first Uncharted. The gameplay and mechanics are basically the same as last time around, but with a few added features and a bit more fluency. The story is pretty bleak, filled with unresolved conflicts and frustrating character choices - but it is perfectly coherent, in my opinion. And I kind of like that. It's a little messy. Like life mostly is. I get it, if that's not your cup of tea, but honestly, if you expected your characters to be heroes and have everything tied up neatly in a bow by the end, you weren't paying attention during the first game. I'd say it's solidly established what kind of people they are, and to the objections that "Joel/Ellie would never do that" I have to say I disagree. I'm dancing near spoiler territory here, but the argument seems to be that Joel would never be caught off guard as he does in this game. But that absolutely happens multiple times during the first one, so... That Ellie is different than the beginning of the first game is another one I've seen quite a lot. But those reviewers seem to forget the last two chapters of the first game, where she was severely traumatized more than once. Plus, she's a teenager now, so...

    My point is, just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean it's out of character. If you want more static characters, you could play Uncharted, or something like that.

    I sort of digested the experience of completing the game over about a week. I had to get my head around the story, and what it was supposed to show. It's not that it's particularly deep, but the criticism that the point of the story is "violence is bad" is laughably superficial. If that's what people took from it, by all means they should leave it a poor review, but honestly, the review-bombing makes these reviewers look like spoiled children. Grow up. Naughty Dog is under no obligation to make the game that you want. You're free to play something else. Stop screaming in the super market.

    Obviously, you can voice your criticism and disagreement, but come on - do you honestly want the entertainment industry to give you exactly what you say you want, every time? That sounds incredibly boring, to me, even if the risk is to sometimes play through something about which you're not quite sure how you feel, as you're playing. Last of Us Part II takes a risk, and hopes you'll give it the benefit of the doubt and play along, to see where it ends. Personally, I think it was more than worth it to follow the story through to the end. I felt sort of as I did after the first one, or after ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, back in the PS2 days - which is to say, it wasn't pleasant. At least not at first. But after mulling it over for a few days, I felt the same sort of understanding, I think. And those kinds of experiences are precious, at least to me. If that wasn't your experience, can I suggest that you either went into it looking for a fight, so to speak, or that it simply just wasn't for you?

    Reasonable people can disagree, but if you do, may I at least suggest that review-bombing should be beneath you? If you think it sucks, play however much you want and review it honestly.

    Normally, it's probably about 9 or 9,5 for me, but I'm leaving it a ten to balance out the bombers a little, even if it's just a tiny amount.    … Expand

Glad to see a big franchise taking risks in the narrative and personally I loved the direction they took with the story, although some people may find it too raw. It's a shame it's getting review-bombed all over because it's truly a great game to play, even if you're not a fan of the story.

The weapons where fun and different, I also like upgrading them which gave me another reason to explore and find parts. The upgrades where pretty simple but that’s ok for a game like this.

    The level design was top notch, I enjoyed exploring the world, finding notes telling stories from the past and giving clues to hidden loot and safes, combinations. The world is pretty big which multiple routes you can take and different areas to combat in. There was a small section in the game that was more open world where you had to use a map and you checked off areas and building you have explored, I really enjoyed that. Which it would of continued through the game but in a linear story game I can understand why that would be hard to do. The story is really good. The first part you really care about what is happening and why you’re doing what you are doing. It’s intense sad and at times scary, you care about these people and you worry for them. Then there is a change about 1/3 through. At first I didn’t like it but the more I played through the more it grew on me, the characters grew on me and I was able to see things through a different light than before. 2/3 through the game I wanted it to end, not because I wasn’t enjoying the game or story but because I actually cared and worried about the characters. Don’t want to spoil anything but I really enjoyed the story. I saw some of the hate the game was getting before I got it. I kept waiting for the story to get bad and it didn’t. A part around the middle I thought it got bad but I kept playing and it wasn’t in hindsight. Most of the complaints generally don’t make sense, nothing Social justicy was shoved in my face. There is a trans side character but his sexuality is only mentioned once. Ellie is gay but that’s something brought up in the first game and DLC it didn’t and shouldn’t of bothered anyone then. The story is great but I can see how some might not like aspects of it but hey this is the Last Of Us it’s a dark and sad world it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. This game kept me glued to it till the end. It brought out a lot of different emotions while playing, it had events that stuck with me for awhile and kept me thinking. It has been awhile sense I couldn’t wait to get off work to play a game, you know how the day keeps dragging because you got a great game at home waiting for you. I give it a 10/10.    … Expand

    I undertand the game does not provide a expected ending. It takes away from the player the pleasure of revenge, and leaves a not very good taste in the mouth after.

    But a narrative that people some don't like, is different from a narrative porly writen, and this game is very well written.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the GOTY for sure, and another reason I am a proud Sony PlayStation owner/supporter. Every game cannot please everyone, but this one is surely attracting negative feedback because (a) the main character is a lesbian, (b) half of the game is spent playing as the "enemy" Abby, who is a very built female with almost no chest, and (c) there is a high-profile sub-plot featuring a transgender child. When you first control Abby in Wyoming I thought to myself, she seems like the enemy - but I wasn't sure. Obviously that gets cemented pretty quickly as the story unfolds.

    Like some of the critics, I was not surprised by what happened to Joel. He single-handedly killed a lot of people (and probably destroyed the Fireflies), and indirectly killed thousands, if not millions (it's unclear how many survivors there are). That said, I always justified his actions because I would do the same for my daughter, and - as I recall - the procedure was not even guaranteed to work. I absolutely love Ellie's reaction when she finds out, but I also buy into Joel being convinced he did the right thing.

    From Abby's perspective, she killed his Dad, probably destroyed the Fireflies (her extended family) and stopped the cure in its tracks. He's the villain in her eyes. Sure, the Fireflies are "bad" because they kill people, but so did Joel and Ellie. Everyone with a cause believes theirs is right. No one (except truly evil people) actually believe they are the evil ones.

    When it became clear to me I'd be playing as Abby during the same 3 days in Seattle it took for Ellie to find her, I was in a bit of shock. I didn't want to play as her because I was behind Ellie's story. But wake up people, THAT IS THE POINT HERE. Naughty Dog wants us to be uncomfortable. They want us to not care for Abby AT ALL. There's no need for backstory because you are not supposed to understand or feel for her at this point. All the people saying the storytelling here is bad are fools... it's actually brilliant.

    Think about it; no one got mad because there are chapters in Game of Thrones or the Expanse novels (or shows) that are through the eyes of the supposed "villains." Heck, people even grew to like Jamie Lannister (or pick whoever else you liked, like the Hound or Daenarys). This is no different. In a video game, the only way to show you things through another character's eyes is to force you to play as her. Kudos to Naughty Dog for having the balls to do it.

    By the end of Abby's story, I understood her and felt for her. I wouldn't blame either of them for ending the other's life. I honestly didn't know which way it was going to go (kudos again to Naughty Dog here), and I won't spoil the final outcome here. All I will say is it ended the right way, even if it doesn't give you warm and fuzzies - just as I felt after the first game.

    One final note. I think it's sad that gamers expect female protagonists to all look and feel like Lara Croft. I don't feel as if Naughty Dog is pushing an agenda so much as they're acknowledging there is diversity in the world. Joel wasn't comfortable when he realized that Ellie is a lesbian. Abby didn't understand Lev's situation at first. It's OK to not understand or to be uncomfortable, but are you really going to slam a game because it's chosen to make its characters more like actual people? Does the main character have to be a white male or a big-busted female to get positive reviews? If so, that's just sad.

    Was this game as good as the first? No, probably not. Sequels seldom are. But was it more of solid Naughty Dog gameplay, visuals and story? Hell yes. I can't wait to play through it again.    … Expand

    the graphics and game mechanics are great. the story and characters have been implemented very, very well. don't listen to the hater but make your own picture. Worth it! I warn here again about spoilers! So don't read on if you haven't finished the game.

    The story is amazing. told very emotional and great.

    Many complain about Joel's death. but I think his part is just finished. he is old and has told his story. I also found it appropriate to play Abby, because you could see everything from her perspective and understood why she did it.

    this gives the story a moral struggle. on the one hand you want to kill with ellie Abby on the other hand you want to keep abby alive. Abby is actually very emotional and personable. it was very hard to see them fighting ... mega! i can't understand the hatred for abby. all this hatred of abby and the developers are not good. let people live as they want!

    My Honest Review after being more or less off the Internet to avoid Last of Us Part 2 spoilers.

    Writing a sequel to the Last of Us was always going to be a tough one.

And on the other hand I could not imagine a repetition of the first game´s story and themes    My Honest Review after being more or less off the Internet to avoid Last of Us Part 2 spoilers.

    Writing a sequel to the Last of Us was always going to be a tough one. On the one hand I was never able to imagine a story that did not have Ellie and Joel as we know and love them front and Center. And on the other hand I could not imagine a repetition of the first game´s story and themes that did not fall flat in comparison to the first.
    The Story Naughty Dog did end up telling in Part 2 however is unlike any I have ever seen or experienced in this way before in any medium. It does not care about what you might want from the story but instead forces you on an emotional roller-coaster full of trauma, despair and hatred but also cracks of light, laughter and love that shine through a damaged world full of damaged people.
    It is by far the most morally grey video-game I have ever played, forcing you to reflect and empathise even when you don´t want to or at first feel unable to.

    It is at times suppose to be an uncomfortable experience and while there are many reasons for the insanely negative reviews this game is getting from Users (even hours after the Game released) I believe it is this uncomfortable reflection the game demands of you which is not easy or fun for everyone. It´s not what they wanted and therefore they don´t give it a chance.
    But if you do let go of the story that you might have had in your head for years and give it a fair shot, you will find that this game will move you and make you think in ways you might not have expected.

    As someone who loved the first game and somehow managed to stay spoiler free I think The Last of Us Part 2 is a Masterpiece.

Everything is amazing in this game: graphics, story, gameplay, facial animations, atmosphere. The plot is very interesting and unusual. The way the developers were able to continue the story of the first part and develop it so unusually makes you clap standing up. At first, we think that Abby and her friends are enemies and villains. But then the game shows these characters from the reverse side. And it turns out that they are not so bad. By the end of the game, you even start to dislike Ellie. The finale is just gorgeous. It makes you think about everything that happened. The plot in this game is incredibly good and thoughtful. It is rare to find a game with such a story. The gameplay has not changed significantly, but it has new features. Facial animations are awesome. Summing up, I will say that absolutely all PS4 owners need to buy and pass this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part ll - My Review


    The last of us 2 isn’t a masterpiece, but it also isn’t a 5.1 game (metacritic user score). The last of us 2 has many moments that don’t mean much and have almost no deeper meaning, many of the things in the game happen because the writers wanted to “shock” the person playing it, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when used so many times makes it less shocking and more repetitive and exhausting. I hated playing as Abby, not because she killed Joel or anything like that, I actually liked her character a lot, but because the way the story is told makes it very irritating. *Spoilers* : when Abby kills Jesse and is about to kill tommy, the only thing I wanted to know was “WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?”, but the game then switches to Abby in Seattle Day 1, and we go almost until the end of the game playing as her. When we finally come to the scene where she might kill tommy and Ellie, the “hype” to it was almost completely lost, and it could have had more impact if they didn’t wait so long to show what happened (but that’s a very personal complaint I have, and many people might not have been bothered by it).
    The Last of us 2 challenges the player to forgive. When Joel is killed by Abby all we want is to revenge him, and we believe we’ll never forgive her for doing what she did, but as the story goes, the game makes us play as her and understand her side, understand that she isn’t just an villain, which we later learn that she actually isn’t, and challenges us to forgive her. At the end of the day, The last of us 2 isn’t about revenge, it’s about Ellie’s grief, and how she deals with it. This game has challenged us to incorporate, understand and it has brought many important themes to the table. I can’t convince anyone that the game is good, because that’s my personal take on it, but I can assure anyone reading this that this isn’t a 4.8 game, and that it was very courageous of Naughty Dog to try something few games/tv shows/movies have tried before. I’ve seen many complaints about the game saying “bUt It’s A rEVeNgE sToRy, eLliE sHouLd haVe kiLled AbBy”, and I’ve got some things to tell those people: Abby did suffer, she lost all of her friends for what she did to Ellie and Joel, and I must say, being alive and having to deal with all of this is much harder than just getting killed. Second of all, if until the end of the game, after you’ve been on Abbys shoes, you still wanted her dead, then you might have won the game, but you didn’t win the mental debate Naughty Dog offered you. I’m not saying how anyone should feel about the game, I’m just saying what I believe were the intentions of Neil Druckmann (and company) while developing the game. I give The last of us 2 a 8/10, but since people are roasting the game and giving it 0 or 1 /10, I must go against that flow and give it a 10/10. It is a very divisive game, but it isn’t a bad one, and even if you didn’t like it, you must admit it isn’t a bad game.
    I congratulate Naughty Dog, not for making “a masterpiece”, but for their effort on trying once again bring something new to the table.

    Sincerely,

It allows fine grained difficulty changes rather than the usual "easy-medium-hard" which allows you to play exactly as you like. One of the protagonists is built to allow a more combat oriented style of gameplay, allowing you to experience the game mechanics from a different angle you may shy away from as the stealthy Ellie-Joel from the first game.

    Graphics:  10/10
    I’m not sure anyone can objectively state that the graphics are anything short of spectacular - easily one of the best-looking games of this generation.  On my PS4 Pro, the game ran at a smooth 30FPS @ 4k resolution; however, I recall two moments during my first play-through where I noticed a slight frame-rate slowdown.  Neither of these were during action sequences and were only slightly noticeable, so the game gets a pass from me on this.  

    If the environment isn’t enough to justify the score, then consider the motion capture and facial animations.  You can feel the emotions of every character - something this game demands as part of the story.  I’ve completed two full play-throughs and replayed various chapters.  Last night, I loaded up The Last of Us Remastered for comparison.  The improvements are remarkable (I should note it that TLoU was a PS3 game originally).

    Sound:  10/10
    Again, I’m not sure how anyone can consider the sound and music as anything short of phenomenal.  Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker return as Ellie and Joel.  As expected, they have unforgettable performances.  In additional to their vocal performances, each were called upon to sing multiple songs in character and adding new depth to their characters.  Does Laura Bailey (Abby) ever give poor performances?  If she does, it wasn’t in this game.  Victoria Grace (Yara) and Ian Alexander (Lev) are fantastic additions to the cast.

    Gustavo Santaolalla returns to the series with another wonderfully atmospheric soundtrack.  Bottom line - if you like the music in the first game, then you should love it in this one.

    Story & Replayability:  10/10
    The Last of Us Part II is like nothing that I have ever played.  It is highly emotional and thought provoking journey.  I’m a middle-aged man, and I have no problems telling you I cried like a baby multiple times during this game.

    This game isn’t for everyone.  If you are looking for pure fun, which many argue is the point of video games, this may not be a title for you.  If you aren’t willing to reflect on the journey once it is over, this may not be the game for you.  If empathy or putting yourself in someone else’s shoes is not your thing, this may not be the game for you.  If you knew what you wanted out of Part II before its release, it may disappoint you.  If you come in expecting more of the same, you may not like this game.  The writers and developers told the story they wanted to tell - whether or not that is what you wanted.  I appreciate their fortitude.

    In terms of replayability, I find this to be even more subjective than the story.  There is no doubt in my mind that some people will enjoy this game, but never want to play it again because the story is so emotionally intense.  Others, like me, will play this game repeatedly.  For me, the game would be worth the $60 price tag even if I only played it once.

    Summary
    Let me get straight to the point - I have a new favorite game of all time, and it is The Last of Us Part II.  Frankly, don’t care if it is a popular opinion or not.  Art is subjective.  If you elect to play the game, just be sure to finish it before casting your final judgement.    … Expand

    Breathtaking, dark, brutal and an emotionally taxing game. Without watching any promotional material or trailers I finished this game. This game is exceptional in all areas! I've also finished the first game. I appreciate the message(s) the writers wanted to convey in this game vs. the first one taking it in a new direction.

Somehow, Naughty Dog managed to strike a darker tone than its predecessor, and after the eight days it took me to complete the story on medium difficulty, I was emotionally exhausted. Yet the characters and their plights haunted me well after the credits rolled. Sure some of the themes were heavy-handed, the pacing suspect at times, and the character motivations questionable. The story was a bit manipulative, but I have to give Naughty Dog credit for successfully manipulating me. I went from rooting for Ellie in the beginning to changing my allegiance and backing her principal adversary. I enjoyed the improved combat sequences. Encounters in the original game were a bit monotonous, alternating between clusters of infected and bands of faceless human baddies. The "Left Behind" DLC gave us a tantalizing introduction to encounters with multiple factions, and the sequel provides an even wider variety of conflict dynamics. The sequel expands upon all the things I enjoyed most from the original: the detailed settings, evoking poignant reminders to a dead civilization, frenetic combat, and moral relativism.

    All the main characters are weary and jaded, having long since become numb to the horrors of a lawless "zombie" dystopia. I particularly enjoyed one optional throwaway dialogue that is triggered when Ellie and a companion discover the ruins of a store specializing in Halloween items, a callback to a similar scene in a mall featured in the "Left Behind" DLC. No longer the irreverent goofball who puts on masks and relishes puns, Ellie shoots down her companion's attempt to engage her in a conversation about their festive surroundings with a cold remark about not being into such frivolous things.

    I've read many of the critiques of the story, but I do not share them--at least to the extent that others do. Joel and Ellie were no angels in the first "Last of Us", and I almost thought they were let off easy in the original's conclusion. Joel, in particular, had many sins to atone for, and the original dropped plenty of clues. There was Tess' line about them being **** people." There was Joel being too familiar with the brutal tactics of the Pittsburgh killers, and hinting that he had engaged in similar practices prior to the events in Boston. And, of course, there was the gratuitous violence he inflicted upon the surgeons at the hospital. I would have been surprised if the sequel did not introduce a new character with sympathetic motives seeking retribution. It quote Clint Eastwood's character in "Unforgiven," "we all have it coming."

    I have already started a new game, with the intent on acquiring all the items and upgrades I missed in the original. I doubt the sequel will have the same replay value as the original and the DLC, not because of diminished gameplay or storytelling, but because of the tragic end that befall so many of the characters and the relentless misery. Yet, at its core, it's still a video game, and a beautiful and engaging one at that. This is still a world in which a bullet wound can be cured in seconds with a bit of gauze and tape, and taking enough of those expired pills in your medicine cabinet will teach you how to make more efficient pipe bombs. So let's keep things in perspective here!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER ALERT! This is the best game that I have ever played. No other piece of media has made such a deep emotional impact on me. The storytelling was masterful; captivating and immersive the entire way through. Yes, it was really emotionally painful, but that's what I expected and wanted. Actually, it far surpassed expectations. I'm sure like many others, from the trailers and teasers that came out before the game, I had guessed that Dina was going to be the one who was murdered by some group, and the game was going to be Ellie and Joel going on a revenge mission together. I was taken by complete surprise that it turned out to be Joel who was murdered. Big, huge, humble props to the developers for pulling that off. I am a young woman with a father that reminds me of Joel, so playing Ellie and watching his death hit me really hard. Having so much emotional investment in Joel made Ellie's anger over his murder so much more compelling. Then they devoted so much time to Abby's side, and to her character, that I empathized with her side of the story as well. As much as we love Joel, he did stop the development of a vaccine that could have saved so many lives and could have turned the apocalypse around. On top of that, he murdered Abby's father (and a lot of other people) to do it. There's so much pain in this story, as there should be.

    I also really appreciated the inclusion and diversity of the cast. Both main characters were badass women, and they were badass in their own ways. Thank you for giving us Abby's biceps (I hope she is able to get them back someday). My one and only complaint is that I wish they would have called out Owen more for being such a piece of ****

    The graphics, audio, and gameplay were all astounding. There was so much detail in every level and the landscape felt very real. The audio amplified the emotions at every point. The enemies were terrifying. My boyfriend pointed out that making the flashlight invisible to zombies made the dark and scary parts all the better, because it could be creepy without taking away the players' ability to see.

    Amazing game all around.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 in my opinion is a masterpiece although the choices of some parts of the story I question overall I left my first play through feeling desperate for more I was not only intrigued over the adventure Abby but it gave a whole new perspective on why she would want to do the things she has done. Overall I understand why people are frustrated with this game but that’s why opinions are opinions I think they did an even better story than the first game in expressing how getting revenge can mean loosing everything but at what cost do I stop? We see that perfect example here in part 2 as a 18 year old who’s favourite game was the last of us the second it released being 14 at the time had me feeling like I grew up with these characters and the loss of Joel in part 2 hurt but I grew to understand I hated Abby and left my first play through quite annoyed and bitter but my second play through I learned forgiveness and my 2nd run I felt a lot more of what naughty dog was trying to achieve I loved the first game as I do this one I have platinumed both and would love to see more of what this universe has to offer with the continuation of this story hopefully Ellie’s story as she’s still young you never know. 10/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. yo empese a jugar videojuegos con the last of us parte 1y se volvio mi videojuego favorito. 6 años creo que pasaron, di go la verdad cuando vi el primer trailer de ellie cantando, yo llore, de felicidad, cuando salio el the last of us part 2 cuando lo compre y vi la muerte de joel, llore por ellie pero tambien a mi me dolio porque como dijo joel, cruzas medio pais con alguien esa persona se vuelve familia. me enfade con nauthydog y con migo. obtuve un gran odio fuel la primera vez que quise golpear y matar a una mujer. los personajes me gustaron jessy principalmente, pero como an de saber his end. hay mi odio hacia abby crecio enormemente. Cuando supe porque habia matado a joel lo entendi no solo por su dolor sino porque senti como si yo lo hubiera asesinado. Cuando abby llega al teatro, yo estava mal triste, when abby kill tommy. Llore de odio y culpa. cuándo veo lo que es como el final llore porque me senti vacio. me senti vacio porque no pude vengarme. de protnto veo tommy sonreí, lk que timmy le dijo a ellie senti como si yo se lo ubiera dicho, porque en verdad crei que ellie ya no queria vengar a joel. el final no fue si dulce ni agrio fue agridulce, yo cuando vi a abby en el agua mientras ellie la estaba ahogando me decia tienes que parar, tenia que para porque ellie ya obtuvo su vengansa ella obtubo su vengansa porque abby no tiene nada sus amigos so smante su grupo todos murieron o la matan al verla. mi opinion fianl del juego es que no se merece para nada las puntuaciones que le dieron la historia no es tan buena como el primero, solo se que el juego me cambio y me hiso mejor persona. No le hagan caso a los heaters porque para jugar este juego tienes que tener al menos 2 neuronas de frente y la capacidad de perdonar. Ota cosa que me gusto es que es muy realista solo con venganza atraes mas muerte y mas venganza que hubiera pasado si ellie asesinaba a abby alli el chico se repetiria lo mismo todo denuevo sin duda el mejor juego del año . Otra cosa los que dicen que este juego es malo porque no lo es tengo dos rasones por la que son asi y sus padres son primos o hermanos dejando las bromas al lado solo los que lo juagron jugar no ver en youtibe ni que otro te diga tuenes que jugarlo solo ellos tienen el derecho o lpiniones validas en estas paginas porque por ejemplo amo hod of war pero no lo jugue y digo que no sirve porque si bueno mejor paro de hablar de esas personas que lla llevó 2442 de lestras y lla me estan entrando ganas de volver a jugar y de vomitar para los que hablan mal sin sentido del juego aunque entiendo su odio perobdecir que es una mierda solo porque si, y tambien me molestan los que empesaron a jugar the last of us hace un mes y dan opiniones como si llevaran 7 años con esta gran historia… Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then...
