    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another amazing Naughty Dog game. Unlike what others are currently saying, the story is extremely captivating. Joel's death was saddening for all those that played the first game, but in my opinion, was necessary to continue the story with Ellie. Graphics are excellent as always, and the game mechanics were familiar and enjoyable.… Expand

    This is graphically beautiful game with improved game play from the first. It does not feel antiquated in my opinion. The story is great if you like realistic character motivation and growth. Overall just amazing. I almost never play story focused games a second time but I will with this one.

Without forgiveness, which can come in different forms, we can never progress.

El que nos hayan obligado a jugar con ella ea un golpe bajo para los amantes del del juego y el mundo de the last of us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I more than loved this game. The first was, for me, the best PS3 game and the second that of the PS4.

    Before talking about the story, it's worth talking about the graphics, the gameplay ...
    This game is very immersive, killing an enemy and hearing his companions yelling his name makes it very real, the moments of "hide and seek" where discretion is a real advantage in front of his enemy. I found it all very logical and real again. Depending on your level of difficulty, the adventure takes on a different meaning. I played as a survivor and it was very complex!

    The story is full of incredible subtlety and detail. I was lucky not to have been spoiled, Joël's death was very hard because I did not expect it at all. I must admit that I was crying at that time, the actors did an incredible job.

    It was at this precise moment when I felt a pain comparable to that of Ellie and a desire for revenge to be satisfied. Throughout history, Ellie maintains a notebook that can help us better understand how she feels, which is very useful.
    Her relationship with Dina is sweet and authentic, I really appreciated it. Much less appreciated than seeing Ellie sink into darkness, as with Nora's torture. For me, from the time Joel died, Ellie died inside too. PTSD. Killing a pregnant woman was the last hammer blow, driving it into darkness.

    And here is the big moment: Abby finds Ellie. And something I didn't expect either, we end up playing Abby. I was disgusted, I didn't want to play this character who had killed one of the characters who had touched me the most in any work. And yet, getting to know it, understanding its feeling of revenge humanizes it and we are "forced" to appreciate it a minimum.
    We are all someone's bad guy depending on where we stand.
    I can't say I loved this character, let's say more than I accepted her. I found a form of symbolism between her and Lev, like a feeling of seeing the beginnings of the relationship between Joel and Ellie.

    Then here is the big moment, the confrontation between Ellie and Abby but from Abby's point of view. Big shock for me, I expected to be Ellie for this fight which pushed me to do things which I did not want. I had never felt a feeling comparable to this during a game, literally I refused to do that! The fight ends, Abby spares Ellie thanks to Lev.

    And finally a moment of peace and sweetness, Ellie marrying Dina's dream of having a farm and living away from all her problems. Except that the shadow of the PTSD still hangs over Ellie and Tommy did not help her having lost everything and now became thirsty for revenge.
    I was against this decision, to see her leave her family, wife, child and her existing happiness for a quest for revenge. I was against but ... What if it was my father who had been tortured? I don't know what I would have done.

    So here we are in Santa Barbara. Abby and Lev kidnapped by slavers and Ellie on his tracks.
    Ellie finds herself in a calamitous state in this last quest for revenge, open deep in the belly, emaciated ... She even wonders about her death, perhaps imminent. Thanks again to the notebook.

    The beach, Abby unrecognizable ... Ellie blinded by his revenge demands a last fight.
    I also didn't want to fight, feeling pity for Abby and finally for Ellie. And it is there, in a last moment of rage that Ellie sees her last moment with Joel. It all makes sense and Ellie releases Abby and lets her go with Lev. Killing Abby would have destroyed Ellie even more, or at least the little humanity she has left.

    This quest for revenge will have lost everything Ellie had. Dina and JJ left the farm and Ellie lost two fingers, she can no longer play the guitar. The guitar representing his link with Joël. A last flashback, a sublime moment that moved me to tears. She was going to forgive him, she had started to forgive him. But in an apocalyptic world (or not ...) death is everywhere and nobody is safe. Popular video game character or not.

    The end is sad, I had a hard time getting over it. As if emptied by this adventure. Again, I didn't expect such a sad ending for Ellie. She who was so afraid of being abandoned alone, it is her actions that will make her be.

    What an incredible game, everything is sublime and well constructed. This story is a wonderful experience.
    I have never felt emotions comparable to those that I felt during these 28 hours of play.
    The details add so much depth to the story.

    For me, as for its predecessor: it is a masterpiece.

    I hope to be able to play a third game one day, bringing a conclusion to this license.    … Expand

The game shows you that Joel was not that good of a person and that him killing dozens of people that were trying to save humanity... has consequences... what did you think was going to happen.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As the game began, I was hit with immediate nostalgia when I saw Ellie. The snowball fight while being a tutorial was also a welcome introduction to Dina. I knew nothing about this game and I was able to soak it in. My mind was coming up with theories left and right and then when we first switch over to Abby as she’s talking to Owen I immediately went to “oh **** These are fireflies “ When IT happened I gasped and felt outraged. Pure hatred toward the WLF, but with the outrage also a slight bit of understanding. Abby saved Ellie. She didn’t have to, but she realized after delivering the killing blow that she didn’t get the satisfaction she wanted. She stopped herself. The game escalated quickly from there into a pure revenge story. Once we hit Seattle and got the stack of photos, I thought it would open up into a free form murder quest where you can go after them all how you want. But Naughty Dog delivered something so tight and considered and the story was allowed to play out in the darkest bleakest ways. But with the darkness comes the light. When this game has bright spots, it is blinding. I loved the jump back to Museum. The little jokes between Dina and Ellie, the song that you would miss Ellie play if you didn’t go back to the record shop and all the other tiny nuances that left this as a great book that I couldn’t put down. Then the switch happened. They pulled an MGS2 on us and made us play as the ‘villain.’ I saw it from the jump that oh okay I get it, you want me to feel something for the baddie so that when I kill her I am felt feeling gross. A few mins in, I figured I would do a quick scene with her and then we would snap back to the Theater. But no, we went through the whole game again. Slowly but surely I began to feel things for Abby and even worse, began to feel remorse because I knew what would happen to each and every one of these WLF characters. Poor Vita girl. Just wanted to play Hotline Miami. As I got closer and closer to this antagonist I began to empathize with her more than I did Ellie. Ellie: she’s immune. Could have been the cure and had her life mean something, finds out her father figure doomed humanity, then he gets murdered for it. Goes out on a revenge mission. I get it. Abby: a firefly. Dad is on the cusp of developing a cure to save the world. Everyone she knows and loves gets murdered. Misses out on the chance to live a normal life and instead trains her body to become the perfect yoked killing machine to get the boogyman who took everything from her. I get that too. (Abby never missed arm day in her life) I love the fact that the scar leader, in any other game would have had such significance. She would have been Yara and levs mother or at the very least a big boss battle. But no, in this game she’s long dead and it’s only through letters of people that come after her and passing dialogue from Lev that give you insight into who she was and the religion she founded. Lev and Yara. They are a fantastic pair. From the onset, I knew I would like them and then when it’s hinted at why the Scars call Lev an apostate. Just such fantastic writing. It’s understated and not even played up for a shock. I’m pretty sure it’s just two separate lines of dialogue and a letter. But it’s handled like just another situation in the last of us 2. Understated and with respect. I found myself dreading getting back to the theatre as Abby because while I have now grown to love her, I really didn’t want to see her kill Ellie, let alone Dina. Thankfully the game did not end there. This game is a game about revenge, no doubt about that. But it’s also a game about the consequences and of the after. Both Abby and Ellie get what they feel they needed and both are able to walk away. Both stories end in darkness, but they also move to the light. ——

    Gameplay-wise, this is probably the best stealth game I’ve played since metal gear solid 5. Everything is always by the skin of your teeth, and enemies have weight and consequence. You feel as though they are real people and such I went out of my way to kill as few as possible in certain situations. Graphically, I’d say it’s the most impressive game I’ve played. I stunned with what they do with lighting. The audio especially with headphones is probably the best I’ve been immersed in a world especially hearing those horrifying whistles close behind me and not knowing exactly what it means. This game is by far the best piece of media I have ever experienced. As a game, it has its issues, but as a piece of interactive media this is by far my favourite thing that I have seen, read or heard. This is not the story that I had created for Joel and Ellie in my mind. But this is something so much greater. This is the story that Neil Druckman, Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Shannon Woodward & Ashley Johnson created with a team of brilliant individuals. Phenomenal.    … Expand

Sadly, the controversy and review bombing of trolls will detract programers from producing games like this.

The gameplay is significantly improved over the first. Especially in the variety in how to approach enemies. Gameplay feels really fluid. Deaths are really brutal and they turned the brutality way up in this game. Kills feel much more weighted than a standard goon that's meant to be taken down. The first time an enemy begged for their life I genuinely stopped for a moment to see if mercy was an option. It isn't.

    As for the story that has become so divisive, I genuinely enjoyed it thoroughly. I won't type spoilers in my review, but the story was really bold and took big risks that you don't see in video game stories. This feels like a large jump forward in narrative based video games, much like the first last of us was.

    If you're considering whether to play this game, my advice is to go for it. Go in blind. Read as little as possible before jumping in. I did that and I loved the game. A shame the game became a proxy war. Even the review score on this site can't be trusted as you don't know how many are genuine and how many are fake. It's obvious a large amount of fake reviews exist by simply comparing the insanely large amount of reviews to this game to games that made more sales than the last of us 2, like red dead 2. Plus, a **** ton of reviews popped up within the first 24 hours of the game being out. The game is roughly a 25 hour game, so those reviews couldn't have been genuine.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It took me sometime to analyse and understand the heap of emotions I experienced for the past three week ever since I started playing this masterpiece. I have been playing video games for more than 20 years now. All these years I have enjoyed all type of games but I haven't experienced such a deep and profound video game experience ever before. Naughty dog have really taken the narrative driven video game genre to another level, this is the first time in the history of video games where a game have completely resolved the problem of ludonarrative dissonance which we often associate with narrative driven video games.

    (SPOILERS AHEAD)

    In my humble opinion last of us 2 even surpassed the original last of us. This time the story is more creepy, dynamic and scary.

    Most of the video game developers nowadays don't take story in video games seriously, they simply put stories in their games just for the sake of putting it, as a result you would end up getting an Amateurish, and outright silly stories in almost all of the video games. It's always a challenge for developers to blend a mature story with gameplay elements which an average gamer might expect,since both are conflicting in nature, some of the developers have tried and ended up failing miserably on both the fronts. But naughty dog took bold steps to resolve this age old conflict and I can very well say that they came out with flying colors.

    I have finished the game in survivor mode and the gameplay experience was very challenging and satisfying at the same time.

    And the story is something which is worthy of a Netflix series on its own, throughout the game i often wondered am I really playing a video game?? That's how matured, deep and dynamic the story was. Even while playing with the NPC as your allies, the conversation which they have between themselves sounds quite natural and genuine and it doesn't feel forced, its pretty apparent that developers didn't take any aspects of the game lightly.

    Despite unanimous approval from all of the reviewers some of the users are disappointed with this game and it's story, it happens mainly because of the fact that most of the average gamer haven't experienced such a deep dynamic story and character arcs in a video game ever before.

    All they want is some straight to the point simple average story. Naughty dog knowingly took the bold risk of choosing a story which will divide the fan base into two and yes it actually divided the fan base, and it's fine as a video game need not satisfy all of the gamers out there, and I completely understand why some people don't like it. Most of the fans of the first game got emotionally attached to protagonist of the first game Joel, and they didn't like the fact that their favourite character died in the initial act of the story itself and the worst of all in the later part of the game they have to play as a character who killed Joel. But the main reason behind that idea was to understand different perspectives and for me personally it really worked, I started liking Abby over the course of the game, yes,at certain parts it was challenging for me, especially in the part where she had to fight with Ellie, but if you remove your unconscious emotional bias towards certain characters and play the game mainly for the sheer experience of it,then this game rewards you with a profound, real experience which you wouldn't have experienced in any other video games before.

    It's been more than 3 weeks since I finished this game but i feel somehow sad and empty ever since. No other video game have impacted me this much.

    Does it make this a perfect game?? the answer is "NO" but the game flaws can be forgiven and it's shortcomings can be ignored,since what you are playing is not some other random crap, it's a genre defining Experience which will inspire many more developers to take this route and this gem will be remembered as one of the greatest achievement in the history of video games.

I don't know if that was the real intention of Naughty Dog, maybe they just wanted to make the player suffer throughout the entire game. It leaves you somehow broken, just like Ellie.

    So the game has its weakness in the narrative, but the rest of the gameplay and acting is just pure gold.    … Expand

    This hate is undeserving and silly tbh, you all should grow up and stop being selfish and stubborn.

    Best generation game ever. sound design, visual design, compacts mechanics, environmental design, and accessibility was really masterpiece and outstanding from Naughty Dog. Phenomenal work of arts and engineering has been delivered in this game. Story line and music choices compared with first part its not that quality, but still very good in a way or other. Very good job

    Garbage. Absolutely awful game, and that's all because of the story. And, of course, gameplay is just the same as it was in part one. The graphics are kinda cool though.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game does have some flaws but is still a near perfect game. People always say that people only like it since lev is trans and Ellie is gay but I think those make the game a bit worse. The beginning of the game seems like Ellie’s sexuality is to important. If she wasn’t having sex with Ellie then she might of met Joel Earlier and saved him from dieing. The soundtrack of the game doesn’t have the most good songs but has some awesome songs. Ellie singing take on me is by far one of the best covers ever in a video game. Also Joel singing future days is really beautiful. The ending is what people are always nit picking and hating on but you just have to understand what it means. Ellie spared Abby because she realized that killing Abby wouldn’t bring Joel back alive. Ellie decided to let Abby live to give lev the life Joel gave her. People also say that the whole Abby section was just a waste of time. It is kinda but not really. It shows us why Abby killed Joel since he killed her dad. The Abby section was to make us see her point of view. I’m not saying you have to love Abby and want Ellie to die because I still think Ellie is better but you should at least see that she actually has a kinda nice side to her. All she was trying to find closure for her dads death by helping lev and yara. Some things that are bad in the game are Tommy and Maria’s relationship should be more important I think in the game because even in the first game Tommy didn’t seem important. I didn’t like that you have to play as Abby while she fights Ellie because every video I see on the Ellie boss fight starts off as the person dieing on purpose. Another thing I didn’t like about tlou2 is since Ellie lost her fingers at the end of the game she can’t play the guitar. That means that most likely the guitar will be a one game thing. Also the guitar is a sign of Joel. I did like how the game started and ending with the guitar but the guitar is a sign of Joel and since Ellie can’t play it we won’t see it again. I did like how Ellie did lay the guitar down to show that she is letting Joel go to rest in her mind. TLOU2 does have some flaws that I can see but the greatness does out way the poor things.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Refined and polished game play, gorgeous settings, fluid and beautiful character animation - while all not surprising, the truly masterful part of this game is the depth, darkness, and parallels of the main characters.

    The first portion of the game is presented for you to feel angry and vengeful just like Ellie, but by the time you finish, you realize just how terribly similar both Ellie and Abby are. Their need for revenge costs them not only their mental health, but the lives and happiness of their loved ones. This goes hand in hand with establishing the fact that the world isn't all about Joel and Ellie and their actions have huge consequences. By the time the final fight started, I just wanted both characters to not hurt one another anymore.

    I think my only complaint with this game is the strange pacing for the last few hours. It wasn’t inherently bad. I just thought It was ending and it WASN’T. In hindsight, I’m glad it had you press on with Ellie who was just relentless, desperate, and lost, and I don’t know how it could have even been done differently. I probably would have taken a break in the middle had I’d known somehow, tho.

    Overall, this game was amazing. It’s the next day and I just can’t stop thinking about it. It’s been a long time since a video game has affected me this way. Loved it.    … Expand

    Juego bastante balanceado
    Gameplay y graficas bastante impresionantes y el sistema de combate fluido y agradable aunque sea crudo..
    Un final con sabor amargo pero justificable

    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]
