    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 1 was a game that's easy to love. Throughout the entirety of the story, you bond and form relationships with witty, funny, noble and in general, lovable characters. The game is about love and family. After all, especially the end is about putting love above everything else.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is a game that's not easy to appreciate or even like. It's the polar opposite of the first game. As creative director Neil Druckman himself said it; Part 2 is about hate.

    In Part 2 you come to face the consequences of your actions in Part 1. The death of Joel at the hands of Abby, a new character, and her friends, neither of whom we know anything about.

    In a feat of hate and revenge, Ellie promises to avenge Joel and kill every last of one the people involved in his tragic death. Here, even the player is involved, as previously we had formed great bonds with these characters, and we can empathize with them and their loss. What is hard to do, and the reason many people don't like the game, is the second part of the game. Where you instead play as Abby, and see their part of the story. Through gameplay and cleverly written flashbacks, we get to know Abby's side of things. The game forces you to analyze and challenge everything you know about Ellie and Joel. As we get to experience first hand the atrocities Ellie and especially Joel committed in Part 1, we start to realize how everything is connected. However, not everyone will like this game. As Troy Baker said, you have to approach Part 2 with an open mind. You have to allow Naughty Dog to tell the story they wrote for these characters instead of expect the one you want to hear.

    While some people will be able to do this, others won't. They will not be able to empathize with Abby and her group, and will not be able to accept that Joel and Ellie's actions had rightfully deserved consequences.

    One thing I know for sure, though, is that the people who really take the time to appreciate the game with an open mind will love the game.

    They will be able to appreciate the level of detail the developers put into this absolute masterpiece. From the audio and visuals to the storytelling. Naughty Dog truly remains at the top of their game with this story. Controversial ending explained for people who hate it because they didn't get it: In the epilogue, Ellie's wounds have healed, she's not carrying any weapons with her, she's wearing her Jackson boots from the beginning of the game, and most importantly: she's wearing Dina's bracelet. These are all subtle hints that Ellie actually got her happy ending. She was able to forgive Abby, when she saw Joel and herself in Abby and Lev. She was able to forgive Joel, as in the final moments of the game she finally understood why he did what he did. And most importantly, she learned to forgive herself and find inner peace. This is why she leaves the guitar at the end. She's finally letting Joel go.

    Furthermore, Dina's bracelet and her wearing her Jackson boots, as well as her now healed fingers indicate that she might now be living happily with Dina, JJ and Jesse's parents in Jackson (theory supported by Jesse's parents' letter) and is only visiting the farmhouse to get closure.

    Ok, where to begin ? First: sorry for grammar errors, english isn´t my native language. Second: this game is one of the most beautiful and brillant things i´ve ever seen. The last of us was already a banger back then, but Part 2 levels up everything on it. First with a large improvement of the mechanics. More agility, speed and brutality have been added and they suit the game really well.Ok, where to begin ? First: sorry for grammar errors, english isn´t my native language. Second: this game is one of the most beautiful and brillant things i´ve ever seen. The last of us was already a banger back then, but Part 2 levels up everything on it. First with a large improvement of the mechanics. More agility, speed and brutality have been added and they suit the game really well. The dodge and quick gun swap (L1 and R1 respectively) are just wonderful, if we had at least the quick gun swap on the first game it would have been so much more fluid and good to play, these 2 aditions are the ones that impressed me the most by the very well done implementation of them. Besides that and a jump button and ability to climb ropes it still very similar to the first game but more fluid, which makes it better. Graphically it is just astonishing, Naughty Dog did it again. Facial expressions, executions, running, walking, crawling, pronning, all just looks beautiful and natural. The upgrade system also changed a little, while in the first one you find manuals to improve one of your gadgets, in this one you find manuals to unlock skill trees so you can upgrade things like silencer durability, crafting speed, craft more itens with less resources and etc. The gunplay feels very good, specially the shotgun and pistols, there´s more impact and realism to it, the sound design is on point also. Enemies have more variation now with two new types of infected and different human groups that use different tactics in combat so your gameplay can be refreshed everytime you face any enemy, the addition of dogs have also increased the difficulty a lot, and that´s good to keep players engaged in combat and pay attetion to everything surrounding them, I finished my first run on survivor and oh boy these damn dogs gave me some headaches. But what really sums up for me it´s really the story. Neil writing evolution in pretty evident here, mainly by the courage to write something like this, something challenging, to put perspectives on the table and show the audience that your beloved characters may not be the good guys, that the bad guys may not be bad, and that there is no hero in this world. By the end of it i was sad and relieved. I was sad because it was over, but relieved also because it was over, it was so much of a confusing experience by the end, but in the good way, the confusion that keeps you thinking "oh my god that was awesome" you know like shutter island, memento and other movies. Shocking, ambitious, expandend, enchanced and brave, those are the words that i use to describe this game, and for all those reasons i give it my 10/10 and believe me it´s hard to get this from me. Don´t believe the hate, believe constructive arguements and critics, doesn´t matter if they give the game a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 like me, if it´s constructive give it a read, but if it´s just pure hate let it go. Remember, it´s a videogame, the characters are not real and does not represent the actors behind them.

This game accomplished incredible achievements with narrative and the exploration of revenge, grief and the futility of our anger. I was so impressed with the artistic experience and also how I felt the emotions of the characters I played. The comparative nature of playing a beloved character and then the enemy was harrowing but absolutely worthwhile and a unique experience. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best game I have ever played. These people review bombing this game, i don't get it. What? So people are just cool with Joel killling whoever he wants and ripping the cure for humanity away from everyone for his own selfish reasons? That since Joel is such a likable guy, he dosen't deserve, no matter what he does to anybody else, the reckoning that comes his way? Has anyone ever heard the saying, "what go around, comes back around?" The whole point of the story is to take a character who you hate and don't understand in the beginning (Abby), and have the ability as a sensible human being to understand, empathize, and sympathize with that character by the end. To understand why she did what she did. What? Nobody felt bad that Abby's entire life was destroyed when Joel murdered her dad? To the point that she couldn't even be intimate with her love interest, knowing the man that did that is still breathing the same air she is. What makes Joel and Ellie so much better that Abby? Other than the fact that you learn Abby's story last? The whole point of what made Joel such a fascinating character was that he was simultaneously a hero AND a villain. Saving Ellie was hardly a heroic thing to do, even Ellie would have disagreed with it. People need to understand that a major theme of the game was seeing and perceiving events and the world from certain character's point of view. To understand why each character does what they do and makes the decision's that they do. That's called great storythelling. To be able to understand why character's do what they do. Not just forever staying faithful to a villain just because he's a fan favorite. I applaud Naughty Dog for doing this. Bottomline is this, depending on your point of view, Joel Miller was a villain, and he got what was coming to him. Expand

    I genuinely loved the story of this game. It's wrenching, and difficult, and challenging, but fundamentally is about people trying to work through difficult emotions in a world that fosters violence but ultimately, doesn't reward violence. Violence is the go-to response but fails to resolve conflicting feelings. It is two stories which are largely separate, but reflect each other's themesI genuinely loved the story of this game.

Violence is the go-to response but fails to resolve conflicting feelings. It is two stories which are largely separate, but reflect each other's themes of revenge, pain, and how people cope with emotions they can't deal with because the world has gone to hell.

    Either you're into this kind of a rough ride or you're not.

    In terms of technical execution and design, it's nearly flawless. I've encountered a few floating-object bugs, but nothing game breaking. Controls, graphics, interface, and level design are superb.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un buen juego contando una buena historia con una buena narrativa el modo de juego es bueno pues es relativamente habitual un recurso: a modo de tutorial, para ofrecer al jugador secuencias de acción y exploración sin que queden artificialmente apelotonadas al inicio del juego y cuando todavía los personajes se están presentando, se recurre o a flashbacks de acción o a controlar otros personajes. Este es el caso de Abby, cuyas intenciones desconocemos, y que desde luego no podemos sospechar que será la persona que, poco tiempo después, asesine a Joel en presencia de Ellie.

    El juego hace que tengas demasiadas emociones encontradas ya que el juego trata de la venganza y como afecta pero sin embargo el juego nos hace sentir esas ganas de vengarse, te hace enojar de verdad disfrutas cuando matas a los enemigo por qué el juego realmente te pone en los zapatos del personaje. Tambien te hace poner el los zapatos de Abby pues antes no sabíamos su razón de matar a Joelpero después de jugar con ella puedes empatizar y yo cuando llegue al final la verdad no quería que muriera ninguna pues ambas ya habían sufrido bastante.Es muy desgarradora la parte de cuando ellie intenta tocar la guitarra pero obvio ya no suena igual entonces si te hace reflexionar sobre la venganza y sus consecuencias ellie lo pierde todo probablemente. También el juego deja muy abierto el final pues cuando ellie está en santa bárbara no lleva la pulsera que Dina le regaló lo que me hace deducir que pudo regresar a Jackson con Dina después de lo de santa bárbara, lo que confirma también por qué ellie no se sorprende al llegar a casa y que esté vacia.

    Es muy buen juego que no merece un 5.5.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is one of the greatest of all times. I understand that people may not like it for some obvious reasons but i do not think this game deserves less than 6 points. The storytelling is amazing, we all get mad when a main character dies, but not just for that is a bad game (or movie, book, whatever). Is not the perfect game, the first one is a mile away better but this part 2 is a closure of a beautiful story which is not about revenge, is about forgiveness and care. We think Ellie lost everything, but that´s not true, when she spares Abby’s life she saw Joel, watching her, she remembered all they spent together and that´s not what Joel wanted for her... The night before Joel dies, she told him she wanted to forgive him, so forgiving Abby was kinda her redemption for all she had done (kill Abby’s friends) and that pardon for Joel. Again, is not the perfect game, but it deserves a 10/10 because is the end (maybe?) of one of the top 3 games in the century. Expand

Die Diskussionen die entfacht wurden sind nach Abschluss des Spiels definitiv greif- und auch irgendwie nachvollziehbarer. Es ist kein Spiel für jedermann und sicherlich keines welches Spaß bereiten will, dafür sind die Folgen und Lektionen der Charaktere nämlich zu schwer zu ertragen. Das Spiel zerrt an den Gefühlen und Emotionen, lehrt einem den Hass und verunsichert gleichzeitig wieder.

    Ich fühlte mich schlecht als sich im Verlauf des zweiten Story-Teils meine Gefühlte für einen Charakter, dem ich zu Beginn nichts weiter als den Tod wünschte, sich grundlegend zu verändern schienen. Diese Person wuchs mir tatsächlich entgegen meinem Willen ans Herz und ihre Erlebnisse öffneten mir soweit die Augen, dass ich jegliche meiner Taten (bzw. unserer bis dato geliebten Protagonisten) in Frage stellen musste. Der Wunsch nach Rache mündete über zum Wunsch nach Gerechtigkeit. Dass es ein Spiel schafft mich emotional so zu verändern ist schlicht eine große Leistung, wenn es auch gleichzeitig eine maximal böse Angelegenheit war.

    Auf das Gameplay will ich gar nicht groß eingehen, das Prinzip ist nahezu gleich wie beim Vorgänger.... wenn ich aber Revue passiere dann punktet der zweite Story-Teil vor allem in Sachen Level-Design, Action und kommt auch noch abwechslungsreicher daher als der Beginn des Spiels. Was hier an Schauplätzen und Inszenierungen geliefert wurden ist wirklich nicht von dieser Welt.

    Für mich ist The Last of Us Part II ein wahres Traumspiel und eines, welches mich auch Tage danach nicht loszulassen scheint. Ein intensives, unangenehmes und in meinen Augen wichtiges Werk, welches das Medium Spiel auf ein neues Level anhebt. New Game Plus ist bereits gestartet und die Platin Jagd begonnen.

Yes, I can see why some people are upset but there's no reason to give it a 0/10. SPOILERS BELOW! The game is gorgeous and Joel's death is possibly the only reason why Ellie would go on such a journey once again.

    Finally, at first I too didn't like Abby. However, as you get to progress through her story, you see that both Ellie's and Abby's story are a parallel of each other. As for the ending, I liked it. The cycle of violence is broken now, Ellie won't be chased down by Lev now that she didn't kill Abby. I enjoyed the game a lot and there are some absolutely beautiful and wholesome moments.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part II is worth 9.9 points. There is no so-called white washing, but a description of a selfish Avenger Abby who has lost everything. The last forgiveness is to forgive Joel and untie her own heart knot. She saw Joel and her shadow in Abby and LEV, which also means that Ellie finally understood the sentence "if I have a second chance, I will do that again". In the process of recording her revenge in her diary, Allie kept revealing that she sometimes forgot about revenge, but felt guilty, She even thought that Joel would hope that she would not take revenge. She was full of contradictions about revenge. Later, she could not remember Joel's appearance clearly. Once she recalled the bloody scene, she grabbed Abby and recalled Joel's face. The night before she died, she said to Joel that I would never forgive you in my life, but I would like to give it a try, which is also for Abby. Finally, I went back to the farm and drew a picture of Joel playing the guitar in his diary, which was the perfect ending. Deduction: Jesse and Tommy's confused behavior. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game… It managed to broke me and at the same time give reasons to live. I literally cried in the end because I really love Ellie and Joel and it hurts to see what happened to them. Their relationship meant so much to me and now they are just gone… I understand why Joel did what he did in part 1. Ellie was all he had, so he couldn't lost her like he lost Sarah. So he saved her. Killed for that. But you know what? I don't care. Because... I would do exactly the same thing. A little girl was alive. Even if it was just for a few years, she was happy. So for me, it was all worth it.
    I wanted Abby to be dead. But then Ellie would lost herself and I don’t want that for her. Joel wouldn’t want that for her. He always protected her from this cruel world and wanted her to stay that happy sarcastic kid. She gave him a light that he thought was gone forever. She gave that light to me, I learnt to enjoy small things, just to be happy with what I have. Cause one day it may just not be here anymore.
    TLoU showed me how brutal people can be. And how they can change. Once, at the end of the fight, there was one women left unarmed. She begged for mercy. But i killed her. I knew that if I let her live, she would shoot me in the back. Just one death of hundreds, but it really got me. It felt real. Like I really killed someone. At that moment I realised that people in that world don’t always want to be cruel. It’s like “kill or be killed”, you just don’t really have a choice. I will never forgive Abby, but I understand why she did what she did. So as I understand Ellie. She couldn’t let it go. She knew that everything is gone too far, but just couldn’t stop. And I’m happy that, eventually, she could.
    This is amazing game. I’ve never experienced anything like that. After part 2 I replayed the first game and all those moments with Joel, every their dialogue, it felt so nice seeing them together again, but also sad, cause I know how it’s gonna end…These games taught me to appreciate life and see the light even if I feel lost and empty in this **** dark around. So thanks, Naughty Dog, for giving me that.

No matter if you liked the story or not, the technical aspects (graphics, visuals and animations) are mind-blowing, the atmosphere is amazing (some parts of the game are outright terrifying), the environments feel as real as technology enables, the gameplay is fun and intense and i don't think theres much to say about Gustavo Santaolalla's fantastic soundtrack.

    One can argue about taste, but to call this well-crafted piece of entertainment garbage or rating it anywhere below 4 or 5 just boggles my mind, especially considering how modern mainstream gaming is overshadowed by big companies producing stale and repetitive games over and over again and just changing the name tag (miraculously getting better user ratings than this).

    All things aside, the story is extremely dark, violent and ruthless and i deeply admire Naughty Dog for taking a rather unconventional path. It just seems as if most people were upset about the first 5 hours and didn't even try to experience the game with an open mind, let alone try to take a somewhat objective stance on what the developers were trying to convey. People who dismiss the game as just another dull revenge story seemed to miss that it's much more than that. The story deals with guilt, regret and forgiveness, and more often than not kept me thinking about certain values in life. The game does a great job on making you feel that sweet pain, slowly burning and getting more intense up until the point the credits roll around 35 hours later (on hard difficulty - highly recommended). It really feels like a maturation process for Ellie.

    The game has an unusual tension arc and often relies on flashbacks (probably the best scenes of the game), but as the story goes on, you will really appreciate what the game is trying to make you feel, considering you want to feel it. It also does a great job on expanding the TLOU-universe and creating some interesting new perspectives. In my opinion, the characters motives are reasonable and the legacy of the first game is carried on with dignity. I love games that stick to me even after the credits roll and TLOU 2 did just that. I just needed to get that off my chest after seeing how divided the reactions were. I'm glad to call it one of my favorite games on PS4, right behind the remastered version of the first game.

Its the most constant and powerful forces out there. Naughty dog could have played it safe with the same character dynamics as part 1, and perhaps continue with Ellie knowing Joel's lie, embark into a new journey and get closer to a cure. But no, the director has the balls to challenge our expectations, which I highly appreciate. Overall, I think the wait for the experience is worth it. It trancends games into movie like storytelling. I hope gamers wont be turned off by its bleak story because I think its an artistic choice and part 3 would be the catharsis on Ellie's character. Expand

It’s interesting to re-run the game a second time, it’s very good and I’m sure that if the third part is announced and the Naughty dog ​​takes into account the mistakes of the last game, then it is the best game of the year. Now the game lacks random events that can happen to the hero during the game, it can be cheaters who ask for help (as in 1 game) or the person really needs help and you can take him into the squad, cold, energy from the character and help allies in the city, the choice that does not affect the plot, but only on the perception of the game. Remove trash bins, fill the card since they made it so big and not make story holes, if only the hero survived for further decoupling.

    About the story of the game, I think is gorgeous. It's not like your usual story about how you and your friends get to the goal without any consequences or collateral damage. We play the game as Ellie and Abby, two victims of the suffering for the lost of their parents.
    After finding out who killed their father, both of them go for revenge, without caring for the other ones who their acts will affect.
    In my opinion, the game is one of the best I played because the way it makes you connect with both characters. It tries to make you feel what Ellie and Abby feels so you, as a player, can put in their shoes for a while and know that in the game (and in life) there are no good and bad, it's all grey, middle point, depending wich point of view you want to see.

After being a huge fan of the first game I was eager to play the second to say the least, Ellie and Joel are two of my favourite characters from any game and I know tlou2 has had a lot of criticism but for me personally I loved the game from start to finish, the gameplay is perfection and effortless, each chapter of the story offers you something slightly different and your surroundings are magnificently done with even fine details not being missed. Yes some of the story frustrated me to a point that I rushed through some of it just to get back to Ellie but by the time I completed it I fully understood why they made me play through as Abby and the final fight had me rooting for both characters ( im still team Ellie) and not to mention the infected are still as intense and combat with the different groups is very fun, each group giving you a different challenge. So yes the first game was amazing! But this second one is definitely better even though we lost our beloved Joel ( which broke my heart ) there's as much heart to it as the first one with more skill and drive to get you were you need to be, big thumbs up from me!

    I understand why this game is divisive. It is very different from the first game in terms of cast, the journey and the way the whole narrative takes shape.

    However for me this game is an extraordinary follow up to the original. It takes the fundamental question that the original left you wrestling with - the morality of Joel’s decision and actions to save Ellie at the cost of so many others - and let’s the player unpack it alongside Ellie across a tumultuous revenge tale. It’s thematically consistent with the original but looks at the same themes through the lens of new characters that will shock when they’re introduced by warm your heart - if your open to them - by the end. It is in effect anti-fan service, and given that I do understand why so many who love the first game might have trouble stomaching this one. Games are subjective, and this game takes some very deliberate risks that are certain to put off some people.

    Apart from the narrative, this game has gifted us with one of the most amazing survival horror/stealth action gameplay sandboxes of all time. I was not a particular fan of the gameplay in the first game, but this game truly took all of the potential of the first one and maximized it in ways that kept me glued to the screen my entire play through.

    This game uses its gameplay to service the story and themes in ways I’ve not sure I’ve seen before on this scale. It will always be divisive, but it will always go down for me is a masterpiece.

    It is a kick to the stomach and punch to the gut in the story department at first, but it then dawns on you... this is the apocalypse, it's not going to be sunshine and rainbows. It also challenges your positions and beliefs like the first game did, adding a whole other context to the game once you get finish it.

    The only gripe I slightly have is the ending, it is good enough, but it could have used something more conclusive in my opinion.

Encounters are filled with dozens of enemies spanning across entire streets of buildings, lining rooftops, searching rooms. Avoiding detection isn’t impossible but certainly difficult, and once you’re spotted the game turns into a desperate game of wits and survival, where you’re forced to make the saving shot, saving dodge, saving throw with an inch of health or one bullet left.... over and over and over again. This is one of the only games I’ve played where my character’s exhaustion mirrored my own. The fights are long, difficult, stressful, and mentally taxing. It’s the best depiction I’ve ever seen of one person fighting insurmountable odds in a video game, ever. The story is beyond incredible as well, provided you have the emotional maturity for it. Characters you love and connect to will die in brutal, unfair ways completely out of your control. Characters will make decisions you wish they wouldn’t, and consequences for previous actions, whether they were justified or not, inevitably make their ways to the characters with zero remorse. It’s a hard thing to watch, but the story is one that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Overall, the complaints I have are minute compared to the praises. There are certain plot points that feel rushed, or things that could have been explained more fully. But they won’t hinder the absolute **** 20+ hour experience that is The Last of Us 2. There is nothing like this game and I doubt there ever will be again. Don’t let the haters ruin this for you, try it out yourself! Expand

Wiem że Śmierć Joela wielu osobą się nie podobała bo np. Chcieli aby zginął w inny sposób np. Kogoś osłonił swoim ciałem ale nie jest tak i moim zdaniem dobrze jego Śmierć miała zrobić to że będziemy nienawidzić Abby i jej znajomych a gdy nią zaczniemy grać wszystko zrozumiemy czemu to zrobiła i że wcale nie jest taka zła . Mną wstrząsło to że w czasie kiedy Ellie zabija jej przyjaciół to Abby ratuje Yarę i Leva. Gdy Ellie może zabić Abby to ją zostawia tak jak Abby zostawiła ją i Dinę.Abby zaczęła opiekować się Levem jak Joel ellie .

I have always considered TLOU to be my favourite game and scrawled through every nook and cranny to find every detail possible for it. I recently just got a platinum on TLOUII and I loved every minute of it. It was honestly one of the most emotional games I’ve ever played. It made me feel emotions that I have never felt in any other type of game. I’ve barely felt some of the emotions I’ve felt playing this game with some movies. It made me cry, laugh, tense, vindictive and remorseful, one emotion after the other. It was honestly such an emotional rollercoaster. When I finished the game, I couldn’t sleep properly for two nights over the emotions I felt. The music is unbelievable, which was always to be expected. It definitely helped with controlling my emotions. The graphics are out of this world. I have a Basic PS4, and it ran so smoothly with breath taking sceneries. The details are everything. I thought RDR2 took it to the next level but TLOUII ran with their ideas and elevated it even further. The hidden details, nods and metaphors to the first game were incredible. The character development was something else entirely. I really felt like I connected with these characters over time. No character trait or flaw was without reasoning. Even though this game doesn’t spell out every detail to you, it didn’t have to if you paid attention to the game, the background and the characters, the notes, etc. The acting and voice acting was nothing like I’ve ever seen before. Ashley Johnson blew me away with her acting for Ellie and brought it to the next level for me. The story, which is the controversial part here, was exactly the direction I expected them to take since I’ve dreamt of there being a sequel and it didn’t disappoint. It took my expectations and brought it to such an amazing place. The contrast between emotions being felt in the moment and the flashbacks were such a nice contrast, as well as being such heartfelt and deep moments to the story. There’s other things to note where they elevated the game: the combat was a huge improvement, the upgrades (both player and workbenches), stealth was a bigger focus and was more hashed out, the puzzles were improved, the AI was incredible and as a person with a disability, the accessibility was so touching to see. And there is so much
    More than could be added to this list. I don’t think I will ever experience a game like this again. But I hope I will.

    Новый веток развития видеоигр. Люди, спамящие отрицательные отзовы, либо не играли в неё, либо им просто заняться нечем.

    It was superb how they conducted the story. They ran away from the expected and did an incredible job putting you deeply on the skin of both characters side, making you understand their decisions. It's a perfect mix of feelings that you have during the journey.

    The last of us parte 2 es una clara evidencia del significado de la palabra videojuego. Ya que tú vives el momento, no había reido de una manera tonta en un videojuego por algún dialogo.

Es realista en todo su esplendor ya que te demuestra la cruda realidad (y difícil de aceptar), como lo es ver morir personas queridas y no poder oir sus últimas palabras. Nadie puede salir ileso de tantas cosas. Creo que es por eso que la gente no lo supo apreciar. Es de reflexionar, ya que así es la realidad Expand

    Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en mi vida y para mi gusto un clásico moderno, soy un gran fanático del primer juego pero su segunda parte la supera amplia mente en todo.

    I literally made an account just to review this game. There's a ton of mixed reviews but it's genuinely one of my favorite games now. There's a ton of parallel writing that plays into a genuinely cruel and tragic world. The characters we play as are uniquely foiled and their stories capture you entirely. Do not play this game if you want something where you can just run and gun. It'sI literally made an account just to review this game.

The characters we play as are uniquely foiled and their stories capture you entirely. Do not play this game if you want something where you can just run and gun. It's more thought out than that. I thought they handled the LGBTQ+ characters really well too. I will definitely play this game repeatedly I really loved it. If you're into tragic writing that keeps you on edge, this is a great game for you. It's really rare to find a story written like this for video games imo, I'm happy I played it. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is beautiful graphically it is incredible to see how a PS4 can run that game, the city of Seattle despite not being an open world and not giving you the possibility of going back to a previous point it looks very very big almost as if you were in a real city , the story at the beginning is heartbreaking makes you mourn the death of Joel and makes you want to kill all those responsible, the game talks about revenge and being blinded by it can leave you empty inside and leave you with nothing making you lose what else you want in the end Ellie loses everything and you will feel that Ellie should have been more grateful to Joel. in short it is a game that you have to play if or if to decide if you like it or not since the end may leave you waiting for more but if you pay attention to how the characters feel you will understand what they are going through.

    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]
