    a video game with a great script and a set of strong emotions that make you feel empathy for the villain of the game each one who lived his duel apart and fought his demons. Great game

    I'm trying to understand why people hate The Last of Us 2. This is one of the best sequels I've played in my entire life. Last time I got sucked into a story like this was with Red Dead Redemption 2 and LOU2 stands toe to toe with it.

    I loved the first game and I really thought that a second part was unnecessary. ND's biggest challenge was to justify the sequel's existence and GODDAMN
    I'm trying to understand why people hate The Last of Us 2. This is one of the best sequels I've played in my entire life. Last time I got sucked into a story like this was with Red Dead Redemption 2 and LOU2 stands toe to toe with it.

    I loved the first game and I really thought that a second part was unnecessary. ND's biggest challenge was to justify the sequel's existence and GODDAMN they did it! I love it even more. It's hard to find anything negative about it. Even the soundtrack is fantastic and I really thought they wouldn' top that. Well, they did that too.

    For starters, this is the most beautiful game of this generation. The level of detail and animation technology here is stunning. Part of the reason why you get so convinced in getting involved with the characters is because of how they talk, move, laugh, cry, talk and just react to things. What the devs pulled here was a work of art. A phenomenal graphical powerhouse that paves the way for an incredibly elaborate story.
    The gameplay's still very reminiscent of the first entry, but much more improved. Combat and stealth are gruesome, intelligent, challenging, intense and breathtaking. You may not have the level of flexibility of MGSV or the improvisation possibilities of Uncharted 4, but you can ACTUALLY plan how you're going to face encounters and recover from bad decisions, turning the tide to your favor. It's almost flawless. Upgrading your character also feels a lot more rewarding now. Looking for supplies and saving bullets and items matters a lot more, this time.
    Oh and the environments are GORGEOUS! Not only to look at, but to explore. They felt scary AND charming at the same time.

    But the true driving force of TLOU2 is the story. The acting and writing is at its best. I've seen few things like it in a video game. Without getting into the infamous heavy controversial spoilers, I felt like EVERY decision made in its plot was masterfully done and well justified. It's weird when they break the tale's climax to change the perspective, but when you get further into the script, you just get it. You root for both characters. You may even hate them both. It makes you question MANY things about society, revenge, choice, family, humanity and love. All of these things backed by the strong portrayal of amazing actors, great writing, precise details and impressive animations. Can't remember the last time I cried and laughed this much as I did here.

    I guess the bad parts of TLOU2 are in its structure.
    Like I said, it is extremely justifiable, but it takes a while to justify it. The story is massive and beautiful, but they break it with many flashbacks and perspective moves. Pacing kinda drags, especially with the "Can't Go This Way, Let's Find Another One" moments. It definitely did not trouble my experience, but I get that it can be bothersome. The third act, albeit VERY impactful, can kinda feels rushed. Specially since they just throw a new group of enemies at you without any background.
    The stealth, when facing the infected, doesn't always work. Maybe it's on purpose, but I went through some frustrating moments when dealing with them. Also, your companion's AI sort of... Sucks.

    It's really hard to give this game anything different than a 10. It might not feel like it in the future, but I really see almost no flaw in it. I had fun, I got sad, angry, happy, frustrated and felt challenged by TLOU2.
    Challenged not only by the gameplay, but also by the story. The game's biggest challenge is to see both sides and to deal and accept that, well... Tomorrow begats tomorrow. Wether it's a good or a bad one. A brutal or a beautiful one. A bloody or a peaceful tomorrow. Your decisions will make or break you. And it might just make or break others too.

    If you love video games, play this one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another amazing product from Naughty Dog and from the extremely talented director Neil Druckmann.

    The plot of Tlou 2 is very mature which requires a lot of patience and understanding and I think that is why the rating is like that.

    I think that I've never experienced emotions as I experienced with this game, this game made me express every kind of emotion there is but Anger and sadness was the main emotions for me

    The mechanics were amazing, the sneaking and the mele combat absolutely crazy.

    There is no need to talk about the visuals who was outstanding.

    As a con, I would say that the game was a little bit to long and quite frustrating during the end, could end 2-3 hours before the actual ending.

    But with that said it is still a masterpiece, and I'm very glad I had the chance to play it, great job Naughty Dog for this Piece of art , can't wait to play your next game.

Just finished a full play through, and I have to say from the start that I didn't read any spoilers leading up or follow much of the political rhetoric being thrown at the game, though I was aware of it. That being said being a fan of the first game..which I believe changed the way people thought about what a game could be..I was really apprehensive to play it seeing all the shade being thrown at it, not by political or ideologically minded people..but gamers who love the first one. Once I started playing though, it all dropped away and I honestly loved it..is it its predecessor..no..it was never going to be and quite frankly I've already played that game. The last of us 2 brought something different wonderful in its own right. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off let me say the game Play was awesome, The graphics, control, and UI/crafting was far better then the first game.
    I would have love to give it a 10, but the story was just God awful.

    1. Not as open world as it said, The world was plenty big enough...but in one direction really. If you went through the wrong door or dropped down at the wrong time you couldn't go back...so many times I didn't save I missed out on safes, and other loot because of this fact. You should be able to back track if needed.
    2. if you stealth killed an enemy, the others wouldn't know, but if you killed one away from the others with a punch or knife all the others would be alerted. Also some of the clickers would see you a lot of the times if you were in sight duck down and being quiet.
    3. Killing off your main protagonist was a very dumb move. Sure he did some awful things but they all did even Abby, And Abby had years to find out why it happen and cool down. Ellie's rage was warranted Abby's was not. Also taking two of Ellie's fingers was just dumb. I hope they can save this game with the the third one. Naughty Dog really miss the mark on the story big time.

    Game play awesome, story not so much. I Think Naughty Dog forgot what maid The Last of Us one so big....Both Joel & Ellie.

    Also to anyone also rating this game a 0 because Joel dies in the first 2 hours of the game should be ashamed of themselves. Joel was never the main character, Ellie was.

    First of am gonna throw shots on the haters first, I know we all have our own opinions but hear me out. When I hear people say that Neil Druckman "RUINED" TLOU, you guys are using the wrong word in my opinion. You can say its bad that's it. And to the people who's having a hard time connecting with Abby and her friends, that's because you guys are just too connected with Joel that you don't care about Abby's story. Joel killed Abby's dad and saves Ellie just for his own ego, that's why Abby kills Joel. Yes Joel didn't have the send off that we all wanted but that's life man, we always don't get what we want. And I agree Naughty Dog did false advertise, I get that. I know we all expected the game to be another Joel and Ellie adventure, people just wants the same game all over again. But its also nice for naughty dog to do something different in the story. And to all the players who thinks Abby's and other charcters are poorly written, that's cause you guys are too connected with Joel. Joel is not the hero here, he's an anti-hero. Cause if he we're a hero, then he could've sacrificed Ellie and his ego, to save humanity, but Joel did the opposite. So after all the people Joel killed in that hospital, you will expect for a group or anyone to have their revenge. And Abby would've gotten her revenge when Ellie killed all of her friends, but what did Abby do? She let Ellie and Dina go. Abby isn't a bad person, theirs a reason why she killed Joel, and none of you care, cause one of you (sorry) are soft. I mean in the world where Ellie and Abby is born, you WILL expect someone to die in a violent way. Now I heard alot of gamers hate the ending, where Ellie left Dina and baby J.J just to go kill Abby, she returns, and she lost 2 fingers. That's cause even if she killed Abby, what will that cost? Abby killed Joel, and what does that cost? But what I think people hate more about this game is Joel's death, just cause he doesn't have a proper send off. And I agree they could've done a lot better. They could've done the way TellTale games send Lee off. But this is TLOU, expect the unexpected

    But those are just my opinion, might not be hame of the decade, but it is no doubt game of the year.
    If you think NaughtyDog RUINED TLOU, it's not naughty dog's fault, its just that the game isn't for some gamers.

    Btw I did hate the 6 scene
    They didn't need to add that.....

    Btw that's my opinion....

    Certes après deux heures de jeu on assiste à la mort de Joël, une mort qui m'a bouleversé tant j'aime ce personnage. Pourtant j'ai appris à apprécier et vraiment aimer Abby.
    Abby a ruminée sa vengeance pendant des années et s'est finalement vengée, elle a tuée Joël c''est vrai mais elle n'a tuée que lui alors qu'Ellie a tuée tout le monde sur son passage.
    La fin est d’ailleurs équivoque.... Abby, après avoir été épargnée par Ellie s'enfuit avec Lev et Ellie se retrouve seule, quittée par Dyna et son fils à cause de sa soif de vengeance.
    Là où Naughty Dog a réussi c'est en nous démontrant que les gens ne sont ni blancs ni noirs, peu importe à quel point nous les avons aimés par le passé. A titre personnel j'aime mieux Abby que Ellie et j'ai adoré ce deuxième opus.

    Its difficult to start writing a review when there is so much to say, so let's write about the possitve aspects that we all know about.
    beautiful scenary's, mechanics, attention to detail.
    Now , as far as story and gameplay , what a dissapointment. I want to start by saying I have always supported naughty dog I thought they never made mistakes and they truly cared about the fans, clearly not the case here, first of all they tricked us into buying a lie, they lied in the trailer so we could all buy this game, its a different thing to edit footage so it looks like something different but to completly change and put different scenes that is not ok I as a fan I feel extremely hurt.
    Now the problem is not Joel's death as terrible as that was, the real problem is naughty dog try to make us feel attachment towards Abby like we did with Joel and Ellie and it became so predictable that nobody bought into it, they tried to use the same psycological tricks that they did in the first one, they even played the same scenes, the scene with abby and the zebra just like joel and the jirraffe , they tried to mimic the relationship between lev and Abby with ellie and joel, even when abby rescued lev in the end she was like "I got you" just like Joel when he rescued Ellie, when Ellie found the musesum and abby the aquarium and there are a lot more scenes you can look at them online, I think that is not that Abby's story was bad is just that we DIDNT CARE we were here to see JOEL AND ELLIE, thats why we bought the game, ok you killed Joel you better make up for it, and it was not achieved,is not that we (and I mean we as fans who didnt like the game) didnt understand the game, I feel its not a difficoult game to understand, we get what you were trying to do, show us the cycle of violence, how Joel was not really a hero and he destryed a lot of peoples lives, How ellie was able to let abby go , We get it, you just werent able to create the same empathy towards a character like you did in the previous I mean we met ellie as a kid, we saw how joel evolved as a person and we were with them every step of the way we understood their actions and we cared. now you make HALF of the game about a new character that is just meh , not likeable or complex enough for us to care,
    What yout tried to do and provoke in the player just didnt work and thats where the failire of this game is, and after Abby's section of the game was over, there was no turning back, it was way to streched out , you lost the player, there was no flashback of the game that would bring us back to care, there was only sadness that we waited for YEARS for this game,
    I am extremely hurt by what you did to my favorite game of all time. definetly not worth the money.

    There is no reason this game should receive less than a 7/10. I've been sitting on how I feel about this game for awhile. But I've finally reached a conclusion. Its a masterpiece.

I wanted toThere is no reason this game should receive less than a 7/10. I've been sitting on how I feel about this game for awhile. But I've finally reached a conclusion. Its a masterpiece. I did not see a single spoiler for the game and completely ignored watching any reviews until I beat the game becuase I did not want any form of outside influence to impact how I felt about it. I wanted to completely have my own opinion. I hadn't realized how much hate the game is recieving until I started digging into what people thought about it. So let's break it down

    We will start with the story, because that's the part everyone hates. Fair argument. Our favorite character (Joel) goes out in a bad way. No one can dispute that. But how did that make you feel? Angry? Sad? Many of you clearly felt something, otherwise you wouldn't come on here and give the game a disrespectful 0/10. My point here is the whole reason behind that moment was to trigger us. Make us feel, like its superior predecessor did. I was so sad joel was dead, many people didn't focus on that. They focused on how much they hated how the writers killed off one of their favorite characters, and force us to play as his killer. I get it. Personally I didn't hate it, although I did let ellie kill me immediately when I went into that boss fight. I could break down every part of the story but for me at the end of it all I asked myself one question: how did it make me feel? The answer was it made me feel everything, anger, joy, and sadness and anything in between. Any story that can send me through an emotional roller coaster as this game did deserves a 10/10 for its story even if I did dislike parts of it. In my opinion, the problems I had with the story felt justified and I think the direction everything went was weaved together in a coherent way that made sense. I found myself comparing it to star wars episodes 7-9 and game of thrones season 8. At the end of those I was so utterly devastating at how it was all butchered. I didnt feel that way at the end of this. I felt satisfied and wanting more of this world. Also, the last song at the end of the credits was depressing and I loved it. I give the story a 10/10. I can see why people would rank it lower though, I do think we have to give credit to the fantastic voice acting from the entire cast. A 0/10 for this story seems a bit harsh to me. At least a 1/10 if you hated it that much. Now, onto the gameplay. Ill keep this short and sweet because I think its pretty clear the gameplay was top notch. Gunplay is great, upgrades could be better, and having to redo upgrades halfway through was a bit annoying but after I got used to it I enjoyed it. The prone addition shouldve been a part of this series all along and it was a welcomed addition. The gameplay was not hindered by anything though. AI is smart and genuinely would flank me at times. I can't imagine how enhanced they get on higher than the average difficulty I played at. It has some inherent annoyances but those did not distract me from enjoying it, and for that I give it a 10/10. I was always on my toes and the gameplay was backed up by an astounding audio design.

    The audio was superb, with my headphones on, the rain sounded as if I was actually experiencing a rain storm in my own house. Rain impacting different surfaces sounds different and everything is fantastically directional. Without listen mode you can effectively find enemies just by listening closely to different sounds around you. The audio was the only thing in this game that was completely flawless. 10/10 hands down. I could go on and on about this game but when it comes down to it, I just had a fantastic time. I break it down into 4 categories. Story, gameplay, audio, and graphics. Ill give the naysayers the benefit of the doubt and say I understand the reasons why many rated it a 0/10. Gameplay, audio, and graphics all get a 10/10. Me personally the game is overall 10/10. But for those of you who hated the story a 0/10 for story would bring our average down to a 7.5. Which brings me back to my tagline that, in my opinion, there is no reason this game should recieve less than a 7/10. If you disliked other parts of this game, by technicality you could bring that average score down, and thats okay. This is all just my uneducated opinion. We are all entitled to our opinions, i hate that many people did not enjoy this game as much as I did, but hey we are all human and we all have different likes/wants. Meanwhile I will be attempting another playthrough of the first one on grounded. I think we can all agree the first one was better.

    After the first couple of hours I almost had no motivation to play it anymore. I just treated it like an uncharted game, which says a lot when this is TLOU2 we're talking about.

Los desarrolladores logran, no que empatices con los personajes, sino convertirte en ellos. Rabia, desesperación, venganza... Perdón. El juego gráficamente te deja sin aliento, el game play con algunas mejoras pero sobre todo en el ámbito de la jugabilidad destaca su apuesta por la inclusividad teniendo una forma de juego para personas con impedimentos visuales.
    En fin, juego de leyenda y nuevo hito en la industria.

    My new favourite game ever! Uncharted 4, Red Dead Redemption and God of War pushed this generation to the limits. The Last Of Us Part 2, in my humble opinion showed how the future of gaming is, in combination with a bold Story full of raw violence! I just love the game! Thank you Naughty Dog, thank you for pushing forward the gaming industry and culture.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most nihilistic and needlessly and disgustingly violent game I've ever played.
    None of the charecters have any real motivation for their actions other than they are psychotic.
    It completely undercuts the first game and every character is unlikeable apart from Lev and Dina but your left wondering how they could stick by such awful people.

    The Last Of Us 2 is the new peak reached by the world of video games. A fully engaging story that puts you crudely in front the human soul, without noodling the player. It's a game that involves you, overturns your certainties and pushes you to understand the characters and their stories.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS (do I have to do this?)

    Genius game balanced between engaging gameplay and totally unpredictable and expertly written story. We don’t normally get stories of this depth and complexity in games. This is my take on the ending:

    We go through Ellie’s chapter thinking we are enacting righteous revenge. Then the story flips and we experience Abby story, a character who we find out has seemingly completed that very same revenge (killing of their father figure). Over the course of her three days we find that the act of revenge didn’t change anything for Abby, that she was still haunted by nightmares, shes still emotionally broken from losing her father, and she still is neglecting the pain of losing Owen to Mel. She’s trying to move on because she knows revenge didn’t solve anything. Ellie pushes her to the breaking point again but this time but Lev pulls her back. Her people. THIS, is her reason for living now, not revenge. Then we snap back to Ellie and we have to go through the excruciating steps of abandoning everything for revenge. Because of abby’s story we know it won’t solve anything, only lead to more loss, but we have to go through the motions anyway.

    This was the hardest part of the game for me. I wanted Ellie to just turn the **** around the entire time. Finally when she sees Abby and Lev and the state their in, she starts questioning everything. Is this really what she wants to do? Will it bring Joel back to kill this emaciated and broken person? She thinks she has to go through with killing Abby to move on. Finally, on the brink of doing so she sees Joel, sees that she’ll never stop missing him, see’s that her forgiveness and love for him isn’t dependent on vengeance. Whether Abby is alive or dead she is left with loss. So she gives up on vengeance and truly begins to mourn what she’s lost.

The relationship between joel and Ellie was the defining part of that experience, and of course Joel's arc.. As hard as it might be the ramifications from the first game were obvious! it may not be the sequel "we" wanted but its the sequel that both the series and the fans, if they truly were that, deserved.. Never has an experience game, movie, or book so effortlessly and effectively immersed you and grounded you in a way that truly makes you feel like you are taking an active part in actions that are both in and out of your control, and how that makes you feel as the story transpires is so unique. I really dont want to say much because as a fan I stayed away from ALL spoilers before experiencing it for myself, and if you can do that you will truly be blown away by the experience and adventure this game takes you on. The writing and performances are flawless, genuinely flawless and characters are incredibly and perfectly flawed.. It makes you think about characters, choices and their ramifications long after its over in a way that can only be experienced first hand.. If I had to pick one theme for this game both in and out, its perspective, which is powerful considering the hate this game has been getting for reasons I can't explain.. I'm not saying its perfect, and if you dont like it after properly playing and experiencing it for yourself, I can see how it wont be for everyone, it surely cant be..but to the people hating cuz of gender, plot they haven't experienced and homophobia, **** you! if you had a braincell in your peanut you'd come up with your own story and characters if you felt that strongly about it, piss stains.Thank you Neil and team.

    tldr: Terrible story, worse gameplay, hollow diversity, pretty graphics, do not buy.

    I'm writing this as the credits roll on the game, nor did I watch the spoilers leaked online. If you enjoyed the first one, you will more than likely utterly despise this one. Joel and Ellie are not the same characters; straight-shooting and hardened heroes no longer describe them. What you are left
    tldr: Terrible story, worse gameplay, hollow diversity, pretty graphics, do not buy.

    I'm writing this as the credits roll on the game, nor did I watch the spoilers leaked online. If you enjoyed the first one, you will more than likely utterly despise this one. Joel and Ellie are not the same characters; straight-shooting and hardened heroes no longer describe them. What you are left with are similar but significantly altered shadows. Like another man said below, I checked out 2 hours in, and never came back.

    The rest of the story is just... bad. There's an attempt to make you care about other characters in the game, but you end up not because of everything surrounding them. You try to keep playing, and then you realize that you're not having fun. You're just watching a train wreck that hit a bus while carrying a nuclear bomb that set off a volcano that froze the planet in endless winter destroying all life. It's. That. Bad.

    The gameplay is worsened from the previous one. There's an effort to make combat more combaty, but I remind you that this is a mostly a stealth game. Stealth, depending on the difficulty, you may never use. Listen mode is utterly useless now (unless they are right next to you). Enemies will change patterns depending often you reset a point (this is more frustrating than enjoyable). You have to continuously turn the camera to keep hitting the same enemy. Your first skill tree is useless; the last 2 are your best. The game will not let you turn off tutorials until you beat it and prepare for condescending 'hints' when you die.

    The diversity in the game is paper thin and hollow. And it feels more like checking off boxes saying, "Look who we have in the game!" versus actually doing the work to weave their stories into a compelling narrative. Diversity is not a bad thing. Half-assing it is. A black character is not just black, a lesbian is not just a lesbian, and a jewish person is not just that. They are more and that should have been explored through the lens of that world. You will see almost every race in here. You will see almost every marginalized 'major' group in here. None of which contributes well to the over all story.

    The art and graphics are solid. Game looks beautiful.

    Do not buy this game. Borrow it from someone, or watch a Let's Play. The ending is remarkably awful, and there is no satisfaction in finishing it. The Last of Us Part II was an artsy attempt to change the first; it succeeded. Neil Druckmann said that this game is about hate. He is right about that; you end up hating the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is generally good but the story ruins it. I gave it an honest play through (5 times to be exact) to see if my opinion changed but still i don't care about Abby at all. It has nothing to do with anyone's sexual orientation/preference either, i could care less. Graphics and music are both great, the game play is much like the first with a few things added on but nothing that really stands out to me. What really grinds my gears (and probably most fans of the first game) is the lack of Joel and Ellie time. I thought the beginning was cool with Joel and Tommy but why not let us play as Joel with Tommy clearing out that area and then having "the talk"? Some bad ass brother tag team action would have been a great way to start off the game. We hear about how awesome they were from other people but never see/experience it ourselves. There are so many things they reference in the game that would have been cool to actually do. For example, if the game progressed with Joel and Ellie in Jackson first and showing their relationship growth would have been smarter. Them going on patrols together and showing how Ellie has grown in both combat and wisdom would have been a great platform for her character and fans to experience the changes and the Jackson community more. During this time, the truth about Ellie and the Fire Flies could have been executed. Learning how to swim, playing guitar, etc would have been great to see and would have given players the opportunity to play as Joel if not for just a little bit. I am not saying that Joel had to live in the sequel but at least give him a proper ending. If they really needed to push Abby's character, then have Joel and Ellie on a paired patrol finding them and having one last battle together where Joel dies protecting Ellie from Abby. This may not be the best alternative but damn it would have made me feel better at least and we see this over and over again in the first game where Joel consistently puts Ellie's life before his when there's danger. Getting beat to death from a golf club is great writing?! Also Joel, Tommy, and Ellie's characters are really different from the first and to be honest i don't think Joel or Tommy would ever put themselves in a situation where they are outnumbered with strangers and giving out personal information about themselves...where was this in the first game? I've heard some say that they got softer in Jackson but then freaking show me that! There are too many "implied" things they are counting on you to just get but the story is so forced. Joel's death was purely for shock value, if they needed a reason for Ellie to go on a rampage then the relationship with Dina could have been better developed and she could be the one that died since it was Ellie's love interest. She was pregnant and they wanted to start a life together so that in itself could have been enough fuel to make Ellie go nuts and then the scene with Joel and Ellie "you think i'd let you do this on your own?" would have been possible. Joel goes on the quest for revenge with Ellie (Ellie as the main) and then his death could have happened (still at the hands of Abby where the truth is revealed). If Joel had to be the one dying in the beginning then have an Ellie and Tommy combo going. That would have made so much more sense since they are two closest people to Joel. Tommy knows he cannot stop Ellie, why not go together so at least Tommy can watch over Ellie like Joel did. This would also be something Joel would have wanted and to be sure Ellie would be safe when he's gone and his brother is probably the only person he trusts besides Ellie. Yes Tommy went first in hopes of ending it before Ellie could get involved but again he knows Ellie will follow. Seems like everyone in Jackson is aware of Ellie's habits (even the mayor who lets her go anyways). This would have been sweeter with a chance to play as both Tommy and Ellie while developing their characters for the audience. Flash backs of both their memories of Joel would have been way more meaningful as well. Now onto the issue with Abby, "who the f*Ck is that guy?" - Conor McGregor. Okay i get her story and her thirst for blood and how she mirrors Joel but in all honestly i don't care and being forced to play as her so the audience sympathizes for her is a really risky thing to do. Playing as the killer of our favorite character just doesn't sit well through the entirety of the game and honestly i wanted Abby to die somehow. Why am i playing more than half the game as her?! A quick 'this is where Abby is coming from' would have been enough but her whole story and side characters that we cannot attach to is just too much and forced. Now it feels like they need to do this with any sequel (hopefully not) since we need to see everybody's perspective now. I heard ND say "why do we care so much about fictional characters" but isn't that how you make money? Expand

    En cuanto a jugabilidad y calidad gráfica es un juego impresionante, pero en mi opinión la motivación principal de compra y por lo que merecería la pena este juego es por la historia y en mi opinión no es lo que esperaba y encuentro muchas inconcluencias un tanto decepcionado.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. la historia del juego es realmente aburrida, simplista, sensacionalista y poco creible, el desarrollo de las partes jugables en diferentes momentos pasa por sensaciones sensacionales a zonas donde lutear y la repeticion hacen que sea algo muy muy muy aburrido, a los personajes les cojes asco a todos, al final quieren que empatices con todos y no empatizas con nadie, si le doy un 5 justo, es por la parte grafica y porque en momentos , sobre todo donde aparece joel o tomy se vuelven mas entretenidos , o empaticos, o momentos como la huida, o la parte final, mas apetecible. En definitiva un juego con mas sombras que luces. Expand

    The plot absolutely makes sense and 90 percent of the people leaving bad reviews haven't played the game and judge off of 2 cutscenes. The big complaint I have is that the pacing is pretty bad. Still prefer the first game but this is a solid follow up

    Pesimo, no desperdicien su dinero. La jugabilidad es muy buena al igual que los graficifos pero una historia desepcionante y del primer juego a este hay una gran perdida en guion.

    This is a brilliant game. And anyone who can't see this isn't mature enough to understand it. Try playing it again in a couple of years...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Masterpieces. En esta segunda parte, Druckmann continuó con esa idea de proyectar emociones, pero en esta ocasión sentimos que fue mucho más cercano y sentimental para el público, algunas situaciones inesperadas hacen que los personajes tomen más trascendencia y que cada una de las muertes se sienta muy real. Otro aspecto del que no podemos dejar de hablar es el gráfico, sin lugar a dudas aprovecharon absolutamente todo el poder que tenía la PS4 para dar y lograron unos escenarios muy bien logrados con una iluminación casi perfecta y acompañado por un 'soundtrack' y una combinación de sonidos que hacen la experiencia muy inmersiva.

    I have never so much as commented on or expressed my views of anything via social media, or on any website for that matter.

This is a first for me and I guess the only reason why I feel compelled to do so is in the naive hope that the The Last of Us 2’s developers will somehow read this. Naughty Dog, a developer who I have loved for the vast majority of my life, from the early days of Crash Bandicoot, through to the Jak and Daxter series, the Uncharted games, and of course, The Last of Us. I would love for them to listen. There are many things things I could say about this game; both positive and negative, but to write a long-winded review of these things seems futile considering the following two aspects, which ultimately for me make the game a colossal failure.

    1.) The developers forgot what medium they were working with.

    If you were to ask any other game developer what their main aims and ambitions were, what would they say? What would their ultimate goal be?

    To create games that the audience love and want to play time and time again. This is not the case for the developers of The Last of Us part II. If you were to ask Naughty Dog what their main aim is as a game developer and what they wanted the audience to feel and experience from playing The Last of Us Part II, it is quite obvious that they wished players to feel heartbreak, devastation, depression, shock, anger, and misery. Why would anyone enjoy playing a game that makes them feel this way? Why would anyone want to experience it ever again?

    Schindler’s List is an amazing movie, a masterpiece. Do I like it? Yes. Did I love it? No. It is not meant to be enjoyed, it is meant to be endured. But we still feel admiration for Schindler’s selfless and brave acts of kindness in a cruel world. The subject matter works as part of the medium of film: you have 1 hour 30 mins to express an idea, it is temporary; not meant to be repeated and the audience aren’t spending a substantial $60 to experience it. The fundamental definition of a game is “an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun.” The Last of Us Part II simply does not meet this criteria. Conrad McCarthy’s ‘The Road,’ which serves as significant inspiration for this series, has all of the same themes, but has something that is painfully absent in The Last of Us Part II - hope. There is light in the darkness for Man and Boy: “We are carrying the fire...” There is no light in The Last of Us Part II, no fire, nothing to fill me with hope or to make me want to continue playing. Nothing to love or to admire. It verges on being completely soulless.

    2.) It doesn’t give what the audience wants.

    With any sequel, the first point of discussion should be about what the absolute bare minimum the audience will want the game to have. I can say this without hesitation that EVERYONE wanted a continuation of Joel and Ellie’s story. Joel and Ellie IS The Last of Us.

    The Master Chief IS Halo. Link IS Zelda. Solid Snake IS Metal Gear Solid. Drake IS Uncharted. The Last of Us Part II fell at the first hurdle because this simple and painfully obvious requirement was not met. If you didn’t know that the main reason why the audience loved your original game was the deep and personal relationship between Joel and Ellie, and you didn’t think to continue this despite developing and directing the original, then I don’t really know what else to say. No more subverting expectations, going against the grain, doing things differently or ‘thinking out the box.’ Just give the people what they want. You can still take calculated risks and create something that everybody will love.

    As you’ve probably gathered, I did not enjoy this game. Please play the game to make a decision for yourself, only know that I no longer feel devastated, depressed, shocked, angry or miserable about The Last of Us Part II.

    I just feel empty.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would say that this is one of the best games to come out this year. The scene with Ellie and Joel in the museum was so well thought out, I almost forgot I was in a video game while playing it. TLOU2 was one big emotional rollercoaster pulling at your heart strings the whole way. I especially loved how it went into both sides of the story showing Abby’s perspective as well. It was great to be able to play as this buffed out MMA chick where her takedown was literally strangling out the infected breaking their necks, a character type that not many game’s have really tapped into. When it came to the theater boss fight with Ellie I was a mess because I cared for both characters and their struggles. Both of them felt their side was right but in the end everyone was just fighting against each other for no good reason in all of the chaos. There’s this massive outbreak consuming humans rapidly but everyone was so focused on senseless revenge. I feel like it uncovers humanity’s true nature when calamity ensues. I can’t fathom why the game’s received so much hate. My hats off to you, Naughty Dog! Can’t wait for the 3rd! Expand

    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]
