    Not only Naughty Dog's best game yet, but also the best game Sony has ever realised. It's been days since I finished it and it is still stuck on my head. Masterpiece is a understatement for what this game is. Congrats, PLEASE keep making games like this. This is the closest a game has ever been to a movie.

    This game I found to be very enjoyable, the graphics and movements were top-tier quality and the story was balanced with just enough down time/happy moments to balance out the intense action.

The game is very different to the first one and from everything else that has come from Naughty Dog, however that's the charm, this is a game-changing experience. Naughty dog and all the staff involved with every aspect of the game should be commended for thinking outside the box and giving an engaging experience to players. It encouraged different perspectives, not just the blind kill everyone and everything that walks approach of other games.
    Overall this was a highly enjoyable experience, perhaps not for everybody but I recommend trying the game itself to form your own opinion as some opinions on this game can be biased. Happy playing!

    Honestly, ignore the negative reviews on this. They're either from racists/homophobes/transphobes or people who can't enjoy a well done story that doesn't just do what fans beg. Even if you disagree with the story every other element is improved upon the first game. Incredible story and experience. Get it now!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great story. Great visuals. Great music. Personally I didn’t really like playing as Abby, because after her scene with Joel I saw her as a villain. Especially I didn’t like it when I had to fight as her against Ellie, but seeing her perspective was definitely something new and interesting. Still the game was awesome. Definitely Top 3 of this generation. Expand

    On my second play through on survivor+ and TLOU2 continues to shine. This game takes narrative risks but ultimately adds new layers to the story unveiled during The Last of Us. Naughty Dog has delivered masterfully with its latest achievement. Salutations all round to cast and crew.

    The game is about how difficult it is to look at the situation through the eyes of another person. How difficult it is to forgive and how difficult it is to lose someone. Great game

    Great game, amazing graphics and game play. The story is great but it is not designed to please fans, it makes you feel vulnerable and in a real feeling of danger like if any of the characters can die any moment.

    Great play, naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dived into this game with caution after reading some general comments on social media. I took my time to play it and enjoy it and I am glad that I did it with an open mind. This is one of the best narratives I've seen in a videogame,

    Calling this a "revenge story" is diminishing what this game tries to portray, those gamers hating the game because they make you play as Abby are exactly what the developers wanted. To feel the anger of pain of losing a father, but then understanding the path to forgiveness and acceptance.

    If you got mad at Joel's death, felt Anger towards Abby, wanted her to die as much as Ellie did, the the game suceeded and deserves all the praise in the world. However, if at the end of the game you got mad because the plot of revenge never came to an end, then you might have beaten the game, but failed at what the story was trying to portray.

    The only reason why this game is not a 10 IMO is because the gameplay loop is a little bit boring (just as the first one) and because I really didn't enjoy the setting of the last chapter.

    The best part of this game is the introduction of what will undoubtedly be a classic video game character: Abby...whatever her last name turned out to be. She's the most accurate depiction of a video game heroine that I've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of her, and I'm hoping to see more of her in the future.

Gráficamente espectacular,, exprime el rendimiento del PS4 al máximo, los gestos, reflejos y texturas además de la iluminación es excelente, sin duda en el apartado técnico es una maravilla
    Esta es una historia para todo tipo de personas, por supuesto que muchas personas lo odian y respeto eso. Pero sin duda es una continuación más que digna y justificada de la anterior, donde profundizamos la relación con Ellie y Joel.
    No quiero dar spoilers, pero si realmente entiendes de filosofía y literatura, el final con el que nos deja es un claro ejemplo de como llevar una historia a su límite. El final es una simbologia total de la relación que Ellie no pudo arreglar a tiempo con Joel, hasta que al final, por fin puede perdonarse a si misma, esa es la razón por la qué no mata a Abby.
    En lo personal me gusto mucho el juego ya qué no es a lo que uno está acostumbrado pero sin duda, el mejor

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ellie regresa como protagonista y se profundiza a detalle en sus relaciones interpersonales, de pareja y con su defectuosa figura paterna. El viaje que tomará es introspectivo, pues conocerá fragmentos de su pasado que cambiaron la perspectiva de quienes la rodean. Se trata de un ejercicio narrativo efectivo ya que no se siente que se haya traicionado la esencia de los personajes principales. Para lograr lo anterior, las actuaciones de Troy Baker y Ashley Johnson son realmente encomiables porque aportan una enorme dosis de humanidad a lo que se ve en pantalla. Ashley es, sin duda, quien se roba el show gracias a una actuación estelar que refleja de forma humana los diferentes matices en cada faceta del personaje de Ellie. Baker, por su parte, retrata a un hombre agotado que carga con demasiado en la espalda y quien busca la redención en una de las personas que más estima en la vida y que, incluso, ama incondicionalmente. En ambos casos, las caracterizaciones son estelares y dignas de todo elogio imaginable. Expand

First off, I understand why this game is getting so much hate. I really get it. I think the hate is wrong and misplaced, but I get it. Except for me, all the things that everyone hates so much, I actually don’t mind. These things were necessary for the story. Especially when you have to do that thing halfway through the game for over 10 hours, I didn’t mind it and I thought it added a lot of humanity to the game and the characters. Towards the end, I hated both sides and didn’t want anyone to win because I thought everyone was wrong. And then in the final 3-4 hours, I loved both sides and was happy with the way it ended. The story of Joel and Ellie (and others) is a beautiful one and all in all, it’s a 10/10 for me. It’s not nearly as good as the first game, but it’s a 10/10 in its own way. Good job Naughty Dog. Proud of your team for going a direction not many people go. It’s a masterpiece whether people will admit or not. I think the reason people hate the game is because they wanted to play a game that they wanted. But you don’t get what you want. You support the developers and play their game. You’re not in charge of how a game comes out. So be the consumer and stop hating. If you’re hesitant to buy this game, I’d recommend it, but only if you go in with an open mind and ready to process all that’s thrown at you. It’s an emotional and intense game that has more twists than anyone could have guessed even outside the leaks. Play it. Just go for it. Expand

    I could go on a long diatribe about this game. Truly I could go on-and-on about the the incredible gameplay, the expert storytelling, or the immaculate worldbuilding, but at the end of it all, it would mean just the same as this short summary: I was genuinely moved. This game affected my emotions in a way that games rarely do. It wasn’t always fun or easy, but it had me gripped the entire way.

The Last of Us Part II es la experiencia mas fuerte y dura que pueda uno sentir en un videojuego pued logra muy bien el objetivo de mostrarte que en un mundo caotico, cruel y vil no existe alguien bueno o malo ya que te llega a poner en contra de la misma protagonista del juego, esto lo consigue dandote una montaña rusa de sentimientos que van del odio a la tristeza desde el principio del juego con la presentacion de un personaje nuevo, Abby quien entra de la manera mas fuerte posible, acabando con la vida del protagonista del anterior juego Joel en este punto embarcas una aventura impulsada por el deseo de venganza, en esta cruzada Ellie no estara sola pues ira acompañada de personajes como Jessie, Tommy y Dina siendo esta la que mas resalta de los 3 al ser la pareja de Ellie y su apoyo incondicional y sincero durante la aventura deja un vinculo muy fuerte con el jugador, el juego resalta en su jugabilidad y detalles que hacen cada vez mas inmersiva la experiencia de estar en ese mundo siendo entretenido explorarlo ya que en cada esquina puede como tambien no haber algo interesante. Llegara el punto en que empezaras a jugar con Abby y con ella pasaras al rededor de un 40% del juego, y este punto es totalmente nesesario para la historia ya que busca provarte el punto del juego dandote el pasado y los motivos de Abby mostrandotr que es un personaje que sufre y que tiene sus problemas y ademas que demuestra como el acto de amor del anterior juego de salvar a Ellie dejo fuertes repercuciones en Abby, y logra muy bien el echo de hacerte entender el personaje y hasta conectar con el, este juego te seguira llevando por diferentes momentos hasta el punto en que estaras en desacuerdo con el personaje de Ellie mostrandote como la venganza la consume h la lleva por un camino que le dejara fuertes cicatrices, ya que terminara con su redencion pero en un punto en que ya paga las consecuencias por tener el deseo de vengar a quien alguna vez fue lo mas parecido a un padre que pudo tener, por esto y mucho mas que solo se puede experimentar jugando esta obra de arte es que para mi es un 100/10 y vale mucho la pena jugarlo Expand

Honestly really loved this game, thought it was less bleak than people made out (even the ending), loved the the relationship between Ellie and Dina, my only real criticism is Manny, who was...really badly written as a walking latinx stereotype :/

    As a trans person, I appreciated and liked the trans rep with Lev, very cute character and his relationship with Abby was reminiscent of Ellie and Joel in the first game

    I felt Joel's death makes sense, I always assumed he'd die and him going out in a blaze of glory would make no sense, and considering most "revenge" stories focus on a white dude's love ones (usually a wife and/or kid) getting fridged, this was a pretty refreshing take IMO

    Gameplay was good, loved the accessibility options a lot, I'm planning to replay for optional dialogue i missed.

Every character in both the first game and this game, and I mean EVERY character, is morally flawed. That's part of what makes those characters so amazing, and the world so believable. There are no heroes, and there are no villains, just people surviving and clinging to the people they love. Expand

    Story- One of the best I’ve ever experienced in a game. Acting and writing is on another level.
    Gameplay-Incredible, fun, creative, and immersive. Very well done.
    Visuals-Unreal. Even on PS4 slim, it looks so good.

    Overall- This is hands down one of the best modern games ever made. The critic reviews are spot on. Those review bombing have a obviously never played the game.

    Long time fan of the original, and this was everything I wanted out of the sequel. The gameplay has some minor polishes and some majorly fun new levels and one of the most horrifying bosses I've ever played, old and new characters well developed, and a story that challenges. I bsee why some didn't like it, but I think it was beautifully executed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who actually played and finished the game (busy with + mode now), I really loved Part 2. The big event at the beginning was spoiled for me, but I kept hope alive that it was out of context. As many others, I was sad, angry, and disappointed that it happened, but I understand that this is the world they live in. It’s not a happy ending type of world. The second half of the game was not spoiled for me, and so I was shocked to see the character who features. I felt weird playing as Abby, but I could understand her perspective. The game made me do things I did not want to which, in the moment, I did not like, but I understood why ND placed that on the player. The two confrontations presented me with so much internal turmoil, and I didn’t want to align with the characters. The open-ended ending makes me hopeful that a third installment will be on the way. There was so much to digest and I wanted to experience the game again. As of this post, I am on day 2 in Seattle with Ellie. I love the world and characters of TLOU. Expand

Второй день я не могу отойти от концовки, такая она вышла эмоциональная, пробирающая до мурашек. Кто бы что ни говорил, эта история заслуживает внимания, и здесь важно переварить все произошедшее и взглянуть на события второй части под разными углами, не зацикливаясь на сами знаете чем, как бы тяжело это не было.

For what seems like forever I heard nothing but bad, negative and hatefull things about The Last of us 2 on how "the game betreys and spits in the face of fans", and "the writing is garbage", and "we hate that **** Abby". With so much negativity and hate, I questioned whether or not I should even get it, and to be honest I was worried about the game. However, unlike most gamers I am very open minded and wasn't going to judge the game untill I got it and played it. I went in knowing one of the spoilers but I didn't let that discourage me. And I'm glad I did.The Last of Us Part 2 exceeds part 1 in every way possible. The graphics are breathtaking, the sound design perfect, the level of detail in every environment you walk through is beyond magnificent, combat is grounded and brutal. Ashley Johnson's performance of Ellie was the highlight of the whole game, she deserves an award for her performance! The Last of Us Part 2 was an emotional game to get through, by end of it I was wiping tears from my eyes. When the credits rolled I was left with the same awe and amazement after playing The Last of Us back in 2013. With The Last of Us Part 2 Naughty Dog has cemented why they are the BEST developer in the world, no other developer comes close to the talent and pedigree they achieve. Don't listen to all the parasitic haters that say the game is bad, the game is a masterpiece. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From what I understand there are 3 main issues people have with this incredible game. 1. Wokeness: I understand the curiosity and confusion that comes with encountering a non-gender conforming person. I know that most people will think that the inclusion of so many LGBT people in this game was done so that they could appear woke. However I think that critique comes from people who don’t have a lot of diversity in their own lives. There will eventually be a time where LGBT characters in main roles will be not controversial at all, maybe when our own lives are equally diverse. O

    2. The villain:I hated Abby from the moment that she killed Joel and when I had to play her I was annoyed. I kept on dying whenever I was forced To attack Elli. I didn’t believe that it was fair for Abby to get a redemptive art after she completed her revenge against Joel. I found it annoying and not believable whenever she all of a sudden took interest in taking care of two children. It felt forced But then at the end, she was given redemption by caring more about the life of that kid than her own. It wasn’t until the very end that I actually liked Abby and found myself trying to stop Ali from killing her. I don’t know if I wanna ever see her again but I’m glad I met her. 3. The Ending: The best part of the last game was the ethical dilemma at the end. I never thought that Joel should have killed all the fire flies and stop the creation of a cure so that Ellie could live. At the very end of this game, we realize that all we went through to kill Abby was for nothing. Right before Abby’s last breath Ellie suddenly sees a glimpse of a memory that saves Abby’s life. Later on we see the full memory. Ellie is mad at Joel because now Ali has to find meaning in her life. Before she knew her meeting, she was a cure . Now she has to be like the rest of us and find our own lives’ meaning. Ellie has to find a meaning for her life. At the very end we don’t know a lot about what Ellie wants her life‘s meaning to be, but we know that it doesn’t even involve more senseless death and that’s why Abby gets to live.

    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.
