    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account here just to give my opinion on this game. I see nothing but hate for having to play as Abby and people giving low scores because a beloved character was killed within hours of starting the game. That one scene should not warrant a low score! Everything about this game is phenomenal. The graphics, the music, the tension and the emotional roller coaster it took me on will never leave my mind. This story in this game kept me awake at night thinking about what is going to happen next or finding reasoning why a character did the things they did. The writers and directors clearly had a vision for this game and what transcended was an experience that not even a movie could make me feel. Seeing the story unfold from two different perspectives and seeing the two main characters juggle the same issues was awesome. Do yourself a favor and play this game and do not listen to all the crybabys badging the game! Life is not always rainbows. Bad things happen to innocent, good people everyday. This game is a masterpiece! Play it! Expand

    Excellent games from beginning to end, three gameplay is phenomenal, the story is gripping and full twist and turns, the music and sound are beautiful and the graphics might be the best I've ever seen from a console. Do yourself a favor and play this game. If you enjoyed 1 or/and uncharted, you will love this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok boys i want to tell you the true, when i finished my first run on tlou2 i was really confused and the end disappointed me.
    But after 2 day i finally understand!
    This is a story about humans!!! I know this is an weird thing to hear but think i little. In the whole story of videogames we can finally see all the story of the good (Ellie) and the bad guy(abby) with all their feelings.
    Tlou's world is horrible and violent but there is also love. If you steal the the thing that a human loves most (like joel and abby's father) he/she want take his/her revenge, its obviously  because we are monkeys!,we follow our instinct and feelings first.
    but if you know why your enemy have done this you star to ask your self if the real villain is you.
    Now guys i want to talk about the ending.
    If you are a kid and you want a good ending you can find it on comics and cartoons, because tlou 2 ending it was the most realistic one!
    The ending is realistic because the protagonist's chooses have consequences and the Ellie's chooses was the most egotistical ones but their was the most human.

    Im sorry if i have made some grammar mistakes but English is no my first language.

    Thanks for reading
    --------------------------------------------------

    BTW i felt like an **** when i killed the dogs and in the final battle i dropped down the controller and i started to cry because i didn't want to kill abby.

    The initially low user score reflects unfortunate review bombing by people who dislike the themes and representations within the game before release, or by people who were unhappy that the story didn't play out how they wanted it to.

    Naughty Dog have done a great job of polarising players. Whatever your take on it, you can't deny the care and attention the team poured into this game. Like the devs said: part 1 is about love, part 2 is about hate. They're able to present a story using this medium that they couldn't in film, and that's fine by me.

    I honestly don't understand the "lazy writing" or "political agenda" narratives. You're playing damaged individuals who are consumed by hate and vengeance. If your expectation is that you'll play a game with the same uplifting character development as the first game, you'll be sorely disappointed. The whole point is you're experiencing the descent into unadulterated hate above all else.

    As for representation of LGBT and race: it's not forced into the story to tick the diversity box. It's a relationship. The last relationship Ellie might have, and how she balances that against the all consuming memories of her past. The fact that she's female is irrelevant.

    ND told the story they wanted to tell. Love it or hate it, it's up to you.

    Overall, people are mostly butthurt one of their favourite characters didn't have a happy ending, but even though I was incredibly sad, it made me invest even more time in the story and the characters, and the journey was worth it. And I will do it all over again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game surpasses most movies and novels with an uncompromising vision for the story it must tell. Naughty dog has crafted more than a game and simply reducing it to nothing more would be asinine. The Last of Us 2 skirts the line of moral ambiguity in the name of artistic expression and for that there are people that won’t appreciate what it tries to convey, hence the overwhelming negative reviews. If you enjoyed the first game you must ask yourself why. Why did you enjoy a game set in a post apocalyptic world hellbent on making survival for humans so difficult? The first game tells Joel’s story and within minutes rips your heart out of your chest forcing you to feel the way Joel does. While progressing through the game you meet Ellie and both characters establish a Father Daughter relationship that gets tested numerous times only to become stronger at the end. Joel does some heinous things in the name of love. Ellie witnessed all of it and the player at the end is left with a moral dilemma as to whether it was okay for Joel to betray the trust of the only person he cares about. The Last of Us 2 takes us on a journey about what it means to love and at what cost we do things that may go against our moral fiber. Let’s get this out of the way... Joel isn’t a hero. Ellie isn’t a hero. There are no heroes in this game. No good versus bad only people doing what they feel they must to survive. Who are we (the player) to decide what is right and wrong? The game forces you into an uncomfortable perspective many people will push against. It will evoke anger, frustration, sadness, happiness, despair and hope through many of the cleverly placed cutscenes throughout that make up the game’s narration. It begs to be played more than once and will gladly provide you with perspective “IF” you as a player keep an open mind to accept it for what it is rather than what it isn’t. This is not a love letter to fans. It’s not a happy game and will likely leave you with a gaping void right through the middle of you after it’s finished. The graphics are some of the best we’ve seen this generation. The sound is nothing but high quality from the effects to the sound of gunfire in the distance. Voice acting rivals that of Oscar performances in movies and the music fits perfectly. This is a game that is finely crafted and isn’t afraid to show you in the least what it’s capable of. Make no mistake, this isn’t just gaming at its finest. It’s nothing short of gaming nirvana and will undoubtedly leave you breathless if you’re willing to step into it’s world and play by it’s rules.

    The story is set in an unsympathetic, cruel and dark world where morals come and go like the wind. People show kindness and warmth, but are susceptible to a change where they show an inner, uglier strength that has kept them alive this long.

    I'd probably give the game a 7/10 based solely on the graphics, acting and music which are all absolutely phenomenal. Throw in some really enjoyable gameplay (which is similar to the first game, and still great) and you've got yourself a game that's extremely addictive. Now throw in a mesmerising story that invites you to partake in some hauntingly beautiful moments, and some grotesque and tragic ones. You'll be laughing and crying throughout the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II es uno de esos videojuegos que son difíciles de calificar, no solo por la oscura historia que cuenta, sino también por lo arriesgado del movimiento de ND. Cuando uno estudia guionismo lo primero que se aprende es que existen 3 tipos de finales en general, los finales felices, los finales complacientes y finalmente los finales trágicos, como es el caso de este The Last Of Us, obviamente este último es el más arriesgado y desde el vamos se sabe que generará polémica, sobretodo si es una secuela, sin embargo, a diferencia de otros ejemplos que se me ocurren, The Last Of Us Part II sabe manejarlo de manera adecuada. No voy a mentir, en mi primera partida hubieron varias partes que no me gustaron (en específico la historia de Abby y su extensa duración), pero luego de haber terminado el juego ya 2 veces y haberlo platinado, uno puede comprender la razón de la existencia de esa parte en la historia, ya que no solo nos sirve para entender las motivaciones de este personaje, sino que también es un intento del juego de generar en el jugador uno de los sentimientos más difíciles: la empatía. Obviamente, yo soy de los que hubiera preferido jugar el 100% con Ellie, pero habiendo terminado el juego hace casi 2 semanas y habiéndolo reflexionado, en mi opinión la parte de Abby esta completamente justificada y no concebiría la historia de la misma manera de no ser por ella.

    Otra parte que me gustaría destacar es sobre el final del juego (la parte desde que Ellie llega a Santa Bárbara hasta la pelea final), por lo menos en mi caso, a estas alturas mi nivel de inmersión era total, el ponerse en los zapatos de Ellie, el encontrarse ya cansado de luchar y con la ansiedad de no saber que pasaría al final debido a la naturaleza oscura de esta historia, es una sensación que ningún otro videojuego o película habían generado en mi, en especial durante la pelea final con Abby donde uno como jugador ya se encuentra exhausto (igual que Ellie) y usa sus última energías para pelear sin saber ya si es lo correcto realmente.

    En cuanto a personajes, me parecieron todos correctos, en la parte de Ellie: Dina me pareció buen personaje y logró complementar bien a Ellie, además de que sirvió como su apoyo para que no decayera en la locura la mayoría de la aventura; El personaje de Jesse también me pareció correcto, mi único "pero" es con Tommy, hubiera preferido que se le diera mas participación, ya que salvo la parte del francotirador y algunos momentos específicos, no se le vio mucho y en las escenas importantes quedaba noqueado desde el inicio (como en el teatro)
    En la historia de Abby: el personaje que mas me gustó fue por lejos Lev, me pareció buen complemento y su personalidad me sorprendió, lo que si extrañé fue el sentir mas empatía con los WLF, salvo quizás con Owen en algunos momentos vagos, no logré empatizar con ninguno de ellos (muchísimo menos con Manny que es el personaje que más odié del juego)

    Finalmente, uno de los temas más polémicos del juego: la muerte de Joel; por mucho que me haya dolido, yo creo que era necesaria para justificar el desarrollo de la historia y el personaje de Ellie (porque si, si iban a repetir lo mismo de la parte 1 pero con Ellie y Joel más viejos no había razón de ser de este juego), aunque si hubiera preferido que se diera de otra forma, pero considerando la ambientación post-apocalíptica del juego es lo normal. Y nuevamente insisto que para mí esta completamente justificada su muerte, de la misma manera que la muerte de Sarah en la parte 1 sirve para justificar la historia y desarrollo de Joel.

    El epílogo es correcto considerando la naturaleza trágica del guión, de hecho es probablemente el final más deprimente que he visto en videojuego alguno (dentro de los que yo considero que tienen buenos finales), ni siquiera NieR: Automata, el cual a pesar de ser de naturaleza trágica, tiene un final feliz a la larga (uno de ellos). El ver a Ellie regresando a su hogar, notar que Dina la abandonó y darse cuenta que lo perdió todo por su afán de vengarse, sirve como máximo punto de madurez para ella, haciendo la comparación a como era durante el primer juego y la mayor parte del segundo.

    Finalmente, en cuanto a gráficos y jugabilidad no tengo mucho que decir, el juego es una delicia en estos apartados, y eso considerando que lo corrí en una PS4 normal (del año 2014), no me quiero imaginar como será en una PS4 PRO, de lejos lo mejor que tuve la oportunidad de jugar en esta generación.

    En conclusión, The Last Of Us Part II me pareció un juego redondo, y lo más importante (y es la razón por la cuál le doy un 10) es que logró algo que casi nunca me sucede, y es el hecho de marcarme, son muy pocas historias las que logran hacerse un hueco en ti al punto de que aunque lo hayas terminado hace tiempo, los personajes, historias y sentimientos que sentiste al jugarlo, se queden ahí contigo por siempre.

    Un 10/10 es una obra de arte porque solo el arte transmite tantos sentimientos como este juego y comunica mas que lo que se ve a simple vista.
    Creo que quiza le falto ser un poco mas detallista a la hora de ciertas partes del juego para que se entienda mas fácilmente a el porque de ciertas acciones ya que tratandose de un tema como lo es la venganza la empatia la diversidad de las personas

    Creo que quiza le falto ser un poco mas detallista a la hora de ciertas partes del juego para que se entienda mas fácilmente a el porque de ciertas acciones ya que tratandose de un tema como lo es la venganza la empatia la diversidad de las personas experiencias y puntos de vista de una forma psicológica o filosófica incluso debe de ser bien explicado ya que no todas las personas pueden razonar de la misma manera es por eso que hay gente que no le gusta ya que no entiende la profundidad de las situaciones en la que se encuentran los personajes y dilemas que presenta ellie o incluso abby. Yo a nivel personal si lo comprendí pero a nivel juego capaz necesitó eso.. El final creo que fue hermoso muy poético y épico tengo sentimientos y opiniones encontrados no me gustó que fueran tan cruel con ellie me hubiese gustado que mientras se alejaba a lo lejos se viera jackson que diera a entender que ahi se dirigía (detalles mas especificos) de lo contrario es muy triste por mas que se especule que ahi se dirige duele el no saber y en el caso de que no haya parte 3 me parece mal xd

Telling the story from both sides was something I never thought needed being done but it definitely added to how I felt at the end, I almost didn’t want to finish it and have Ellie try that last time to get her revenge because I actually felt deeply about both characters. The sounds design was amazing and the gameplay mechanics and HUD never felt clunky, in the way or over the top. This is a game I’d play again for the same reason I would read a book, I can’t put it down. It’s captivating, and definitely drives home the story arc of Joel, the events of the last game and how much of an impact he has on Ellie. Expand

I could barely put it down after I started, and it took me 30 hours to complete.

To me, it’s a game about forgiveness, and how impossible it may seem for the most unforgivable actions, but how necessary it to try in order to move on in life. Without forgiveness, which can come in different forms, we can never progress.

    I liked the game a lot. It really sucked me into the world like the first game did. Every character has a story and naughty dog did a great job of blending this world and story together. It did have a little bit of pacing issues but I mostly chalk that up to being a heavy story driven game.

    Minor Pacing Issues. A sad overall story. Not just a game but more so a story with gameplay mixed in. Its not happy per se, its not sad per se. Its at worst an in depth look at the human condition of dealing with grief loss and revenge. At best, its a meticulous and well crafted masterpiece that transcends the medium completely and is beyond human ccomprehension. Either way, its amazing.

The game is brave enough to confront the elephant in the room: Joel deserved to pay for his selfish act at the end of the first game. And boy does he pay! They have also populated this world with a far more interesting cast of characters: Abby, Dina, Lev and Mel are considerably more engaging and rounded than any of the side characters from part one. Jesse and Manny are slightly under-served, reduced to mere cyphers who are present only to support the female leads. But considering how often this has been the reverse over the years, we can forgive ND for this minor slight.

    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.
