    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I won't talk about the incel discusion of the gender of characters in the game but i've seen people complaining about the end. It's not suposed to be nice or fullfill your revenge desires, it's just like a movie, a good one.
    Technically speaking the game is just flawless, perfect. The middle level might be a bit easy if you've played a lot but is just a matter of changing dificulty.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What an amazing game with such a strong story to tell! Naughty dog pulls no punches in setting the theme, playing with your emotions, and challenging your perspective. Make no mistake, this game tells the story of an epic tragedy void of heroes and villains, and full of rife and conflict, leading to an emotional payoff that teaches us the lesson that acts of evil resonate, but so do too, acts of kindness; and while these acts of evil or vengeance can be destructive, a single act of kindness can be the sole light that guides someone out of the darkness.… Expand

Graphics, Lights, Scenarios, Cinematography sequences, all of them are outstanding. But the thing that caught me the most was how the story and the journey were told, like nothing needs to be rush, the game sets its own pace, and with a extraordinary devolopment of characters. This game besides all of this, has an incredible gameplay, with new wonderful additions, that builds new ways to approach each scenario from a different form. The stealth in this game is superb. The Story teachs so many lessons about life and it touched me so much, empathy is all. It is a game that elevate the art of making games, by making a bold story, and showing something different about the usual black and white characters and story. The fact that wether are villains or heroes, or who is or not, it is up to the player.It humanizes the characters like no other game has ever done it. A touching game. An unforgettable game. A game that it is marked in the history of videogames. A Masterpiece. Thank you, Naughty Dog. And thanks to; all the devs, Neil, Ashley, Haley, Shannon, Laura and ma man Troy for building the game that it will be with me for the rest of my life. I will never forget, thank you.… Expand

Os detalhes deste jogo são incríveis, vão das expressões faciais incríveis até você simplesmente conseguir abrir um cofre pelo barulho que o número correto faz. A história é incrível, a Naughty Dog teve uma grande ousadia para matar o protagonista do primeiro como se fosse nada. Eles te fazem odiar uma personagem para depois demonstrarem o lado da história dela, te forçam a entender e você simpatiza com um personagem que odiava umas horas antes. O desenvolvimento de todos os personagens são incríveis, o jogo te joga uma montanha russa de emoções em várias partes da campanha. Seja ódio, tristeza, felicidade, tudo. O final é excelente e passa uma grande lição De moral. É completamente aberto a interpretações, foge completamente de uma história clichê que todos estás acostumados.… Expand

    Nothing but a masterpiece. An incredible experience with a powerful story which could not be told in any other type of media. One of my top 3 games of all time. Sadly, the controversy and review bombing of trolls will detract programers from producing games like this. Maybe decades will pass before we see something so powerful that is not afraid of going places, like The Last of Us part 2.

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.

En cuanto a las graficas y jugabilidad es lo mejor que Naughty Dog ha hecho. Las armas y las formas de usarlas en este juego es simplemente magnifico. Es sin duda de lo mejor que Playstation ha presenciado en su historia. Y en cuanto a la historia, es mucho más larga y compleja que el primer juego. Se debe tener una verdadera conexión con los personajes para entender su viaje.

    En el primer juego hubo bastantes momentos en los que la historia me sorprendía y eso era agradable pero no hubo alguna otra emoción más que esa, la curiosidad por ver que venía después una y otra vez. Hasta el final, el cual no decepcionó en lo más mínimo.
    El segundo juego me hizo sentir todo tipo de emociones, la narrativa juega con los personajes y sus acciones de forma creativa. Una muy buena historia. El juego es verdaderamente intenso que al momento de terminarlo se puede sentir que también los personajes simplemente tuvieron suficiente de tremenda polarización entre paz y guerra. Amor y odio. Y terminan sufriendo las consecuencias de semejante vida. Al sufrir estas consecuencias tratan de tomar control sobre las piezas restantes de su vida pero no resulta como esperaban. Tanto el final de Abby y Ellie es desgarrador porque durante toda la historia son fuertes y desafientes, luego están extremadamente vulnerables a la voluntad de la otra.

If it is compared to the rest of the AAA games that are out there it is a definitive 10, there is no other game that can be compared in gameplay except MGS V, and if we talk about graphics it is the best that exists today it is almost not to believe that it is running on a PS4 and not on an RTX, the audio quality is just as sublime the audio is so good that it becomes something that is part of the same gameplay and gives total immersion, listening to the Seattle rain is more impressive to be a PS4 which the audio is not as good as it was on ps3 and the music of Gustavo Santaolalla because we all know how good it is, the art design, needless to say, it is the best of the game just like it was in the first, artificial intelligence is one of the best there is, enemies are always alert, they communicate with each other, they flank you, they track you down and they notice if something is wrong or if a partner is missing, in addition to going in front of an enemy or being exposed for a long time is very complicated, one thing for sure is that it is the game with the best lighting system (not RT) of all, and the characters (except for the unmentionable) are very good, Dina, Jessie, Owen or Lev have very defined personalities and can be empathized and feel interest very easily, and if we talk about the voice acting work this is something that was already a guarantee of excellence with the actors that we know lend the voice, and if we play on the subject of animations it is definitely the most natural and refined that It exists so much so that people came to think that the gameplay trailer was cinematic because it was not to be believed, the studio animations are to date the best in the industry. The game when compared to everything that exists out there is a 10 without problems, there are not many games with this level of quality.… Expand

The ending may upset players that neither understand the story plot that lead to that moment or didn't played the first one. The decision of sparing Abby's life can look like nonsense, but, when you observe the plot in witch Ellie realizes what her and abby's revenge lead to, pain and destruction, she sees what life would be without all that.… Expand

At first I felt anger, fury, a little revenge for the character Abby, but by showing her side and how her life makes me understand that revenge is bad, it kills the soul and poisons it. I give it a 10 for how well it is done.… Expand

    I am not someone who normally reviews anything. This game compelled me to do otherwise. The way ND got you emotionally invested in this game is like nothing I have ever played before. The story is elevated to new heights, even when it is absolutely difficult to play through at times, but that is just a compliment to the creators. 10/10 best story I have ever seen a game pull off.

    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.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is a special game. It sets the bar high for storytelling in video games, and storytelling in general, while making you consider and question the ways we interact with and experience gameplay. Can’t wait for the HBO adaptation so those who don’t play video games can experience this adaptation.

I commend the game for its accurate representation, it’s rough emotional edges, and sparkling graphics and smooth motion. If a game can make you cry, laugh, jump, and play everyday, it is worth it.

It was an incredible journey, different from everything I've experienced in all my gaming years.

    It is really easy to hate this game, actually most of its runtime is basically you hating everything that's going on, and that's the whole point. The game forces you into a perpetual state of emotional claustrophobia that lingers all the way through the very (cathartic) ending, where you are able to understand what the story is trying to tell you, where you can "breathe" again. It goes way beyond the whole "revenge bad" thing a lot of people seem to take out of this game. I just felt incredibly provoked by its story, like the game wants to show you something you really don't want to see or you just don't care enough. But I personally like being provoked by any piece of media. I like trying to come to terms with something I don't care for, because most artists are only able to tell a certain story by annoying their audience, in a good way. It's like, you can only reach the true artistic value of said piece of media when you go through all of the stuff that the artist is trying to convey.

    The Last of Us Part II is, by all means, an incredibly frustrating, depressing, sad journey about love. The love you have for these two characters, the love you have for your relatives, your friends, for your father, your mother, your brothers and sisters... It's almost sardonically fitting that this game came out in such a hateful time, in a time when people should stand by each other to defeat this really threatening virus, but instead we were never so apart. The United States are, currently, dominating the number of deaths and coronavirus cases, mainly because of one leader who was unable to unite his people. Although we are quarantined, that doesn't stop the systemic chain of racism and hate crimes, as we could see from the brutal murder of George Floyd by the police. This game came out in an absolutely hateful era, and it couldn't have come any other time. A provocative game for the worst of times. I think sometimes we must be provoked so we can learn to do better, we can learn what love, forgiveness and true art can do to ourselves and the ones around us.

    That's why I love this game so much, it's easily become one of my favorites of all time. And I think everyone should play it for themselves! 10/10    … Expand

Also, many people struggling with the idea of being told a linear narrative-based story rather than being given the option to change the outcome.

After watching the spoilercast interviews with the cast and writers, reviewing old scenes and Ellie’s journal, I realized that the reason I didn’t understand it is because I was expecting the same kind of story as the first game. Not that I was expecting an Ellie&Joel story, but that I was expecting a blatant and straightforward one. One that was incredibly impactful, but also incredibly simple. This second game is so complicated and nuanced. So many details, and so many more lessons than “revenge is bad”.

    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...
