    The Last Of Us Part II is a storytelling masterpiece since it explores its characters and develops its plot better than any game before it. It does this by taking the time necessary to fully explore each and every single character in it so we can deeply relate and sympathise with them. It also creates a story that plays with your emotions constantly in both positive and negative ways,The Last Of Us Part II is a storytelling masterpiece since it explores its characters and develops its plot better than any game before it. It does this by taking the time necessary to fully explore each and every single character in it so we can deeply relate and sympathise with them. It also creates a story that plays with your emotions constantly in both positive and negative ways, making you feel more involved in it. To top it all off, the gameplay gives you more liberty on what you can do and how you approach things, letting you create your own playstyle and making each situation feel unique. The only things I didn't like about this game were some minor gameplay issues and the way they poorly handled the marketing by misleading and even lying to the public. Overall, I think this is one of the best if not the best game of the generation and definitely the best way to say farewell to the PS4 console. I give this game a rating of 9.8/10. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For pp that hate the game because of your favorite character's death, I get you. But it seems like you guys felt the same as Ellie and put your hatred towards your enemy, which in your case is the game itself. I think that's quite the reason for not being able to enjoy and fully understand all characters' motives. Play the game again with your calm mind, you'll find a lot of things that you missed in the first walkthrough. Expand

    It is a great story of revenge and consequences, a great proposal within the video game industry, the story and the way it is told is still a rarity for this sector of the entertainment industry.
    The message of the game?
    We all deserve to suffer for our actions and obsessions

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *SPOILERS AHEAD*

    This game is a cinematic, thematic masterpiece. Following on four years from the initial Last of Us story, we get to see the fallout of Joel's decision to murder an entire hospital full of fireflies to save a girl who reminded him of his daughter. We are introduced to Abby, a strong woman suffering from nightmares due to the death of her father, the only doctor in the world who could (apparently) create a cure for the infected. Only a girl when he died, Abby was fueled with the desire for revenge. This story, in its entirety, is incredible. We are shown a cutscene of Joel singing to Ellie, "If I ever lose you, I surely would loss myself..." as they return to Jackson after the events of the previous game. In the present, it seems that Joel and Ellis are estranged but we don't get a reason why. We are introduced to Abby in the forest and then for half the game we know her as the person who tortured and murdered Joel. We don't know anything about who she is or how she came to be this cold, malicious person we see before us.

    Throughout the first half of the game we watch Ellie, Dina & then Jessie travel through Seattle to find Tommy, and Abby. We watch Ellie process her grief and learn why she and Joel were on bad terms: she had gone back to find out the truth of what happened in the hospital, and hated him for it. I cried real tears as she sung Joel's song in the theatre. We also go through Seattle as Ellie, picking off the Wolves one by one until we reach the aquarium, where she does something equally as unforgivable as Abby by killing a pregnant woman (unknown to Ellie at the time). Tommy finished that scene with "they deserved it." In the second half of the game, you play as Abby, learning about the Wolves and their setup, meeting Manny, playing with the dogs that you kill as Ellie (only part of the game I hated, genuinely made me feel sick to kill a dog). We meet Abby's other friends and learn about their normal lives as a doctor and a soldier just doing their jobs. We see that Mel is a kind, compassionate woman, Manny is a funny playboy who loves the ladies and Owen is still in love with Abby after they broke up when they were younger. We learn that Abby is afraid of heights, has a kind heart and cares for Lev, the little boy she saves. We see both sides of the story, two sides of humanity, and all the grey that comes with true humanity. I cried at the end when we are shown the cutscene of the night before Joel died and the fight that is fuelling Ellie's regret.

    This story plays like a novel. You don't need to like everything that happens, just like in a book. The characters are real and fleshed out and raw with genuine reactions and emotions. They are not "good" or "evil". Both Abby and Ellie showed their humanity and their dark sides in this game. Alongside this, the graphics were exquisite. The guitar playing was so real, and the facial expressions had me feeling their fear, sadness, love and hope.

    I found this world to be breathtaking, the plot full of wonderful examples of what it means to be human. I truly felt this story in my heart, which is what a good game should be able to achieve. If you don't have emotional range and don't want to be introduced to a wider story of this post-apocalyptic world, then this isn't the game for you.

    10/10. Up there with Horizon Zero Dawn for story. Well done Naughty Dog on another great game.

    Great story and surprisingly long. I enjoyed every moment of it. Everything is hyper-realistic from the cut scenes all the way to the fight sections. Often it feels like it's a live action movie. Any flaws are so minimal that this game is the perfect example of a 5 out of 5 game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En el apartado técnico es asombroso, ambientación, escenografía, sonido, actuaciones... IMPECABLE. La jugabilidad y animaciones son brillantes no tengo nada que replicar. Lo que he entendido de la historia (SPOILERS): Ellie se identifica con una polilla (se muestra en su diario y en su tatuaje) porque "busca la luz" y Abby es una "Luciernaga". Sin palabras para describir la enorme cantidad de simbolismo.

    Matan a Joel tan pronto con la intención de entender los sentimientos de Ellie y sentir su odio a lo largo de toda la historia cosa que me parece muy original a la hora de empatizar con ella y entender hasta que punto deshumanizamos al enemigo a causa del odio. Ellie únicamente no puede dibujarle los ojos a Joel y a Abby en su diario. Abby tiene las mismas mecánicas de jugabilidad que Joel además de que su relación con Lev es muy similar a la de Ellie y Joel.

    Abby se siente mal por lo de Joel (debido a que tiene pesadillas con su padre justo cuando empezamos a jugar con ella cuando salva a Yara y Lev soñó con su padre sonriéndole y después dejó de tenerlas, Ellie sin embargo seguía teniendolas y iban a peor) por eso salva a Lev y Yara que son sus enemigos al igual que lo era Joel (ya que esto no lo pudo hacer con él) significando que quiere avanzar, pasar página y mejorar como persona por sí misma. Cuando decide no matar a Dina y Ellie lo hace por Lev mostrándonos que cuando quieres avanzar los demás son un apoyo para hacerlo además de que si las mata perdería a Lev el único amigo que le quedaba dándose cuenta con tiempo de la gravedad del ciclo de la venganza.

    A Joel le pasa lo mismo con Ellie, él cambia gracias a ella ya que tu familia y amigos son los que te hacen ser feliz y por tanto sacar lo mejor de ti por eso se le ve tan distinto con Ellie de como lo era en el pasado, por eso ayuda a Abby. Porque ahora es feliz. Esto nos muestra que no hay ni buenos ni villanos solo malas situaciones y por tanto son PERSONAS. Ellie decide por segunda vez ir a matar a Abby ignorando las súplicas de Dina de no hacerlo. Abby a diferencia de Ellie cuando Lev le dijo que dejase a Dina y Ellie ella lo hizo. Por tanto Ellie se dio cuenta demasiado tarde de que la venganza no lleva a ningún sitio quedándose sola, sin embargo Abby no.

    Ellie le perdona la vida a Abby porque en el fondo ve a Joel en ella (por eso no les puede dibujar los ojos de hecho en el diario ella dice que su mirada es muy importante para ella) simbolizando que lo perdona a él. Por eso lo recuerda justo antes de acabar con ella además de que también se está perdonando a sí misma por no haberle perdonado por lo del hospital y por tener una pelea la última vez que habló con él (cosa que se ve en su diario y en los flashbacks del final). Al final Ellie entiende lo que hizo Joel al final del primer juego ya que ella se perdió a sí misma tras perderlo a él tal y como dice en la canción que no para de cantar con la guitarra para recordarlo. Otro detalle es el hecho de que Abby carga a Lev de la misma forma que Joel a Ellie y solo se dispone a luchar cuando Ellie trata de matarlo al igual que los Luciérnagas hicieron con Ellie. También es importante tener en cuenta que para Ellie los Luciernagas eran sus idolos: Marlene la cuidó de pequeña y era la lider, su mejor amiga y primer amor era Luciernaga y en el juego te muestra que ella los defendia siempre ante su profe en clase por lo que tiene que ser duro ir en contra de lo que antes adorabas ademas de que ella se tira todo el juego ignorando la idea de que Joel no era tan bueno a pesar de que claramente nos muestran que ella sabía que no era un santo. Es curioso que ambos juegos se trate de ir a buscar a los Luciérnagas de "buscar la luz", en el primero para Joel y en el segundo para Abby y Ellie.

    Can’t describe how deep and beautiful this game is, along with the horror of seeing the consequences of Ellie’s choices. I do think Joel deserved better but hey, life is not fair so I can’t expect it to be so in a post apocalyptic zombie world full of people that would do anything for survival, power and vengeance

    This is obviously a direct sequel to the first game and man this is a worthy sequel.

    Let's start off with my thoughts on the gameplay. The first game had satisfying combat but it was relatively basic with crafting in the mix. But part II builds upon that and refines the combat. There are newer animations and newer stuff to craft. The movement is much faster. The melee combat is as solid
    This is obviously a direct sequel to the first game and man this is a worthy sequel.

    Let's start off with my thoughts on the gameplay.
    The first game had satisfying combat but it was relatively basic with crafting in the mix.
    But part II builds upon that and refines the combat. There are newer animations and newer stuff to craft. The movement is much faster. The melee combat is as solid as ever. The aim can be a little wonky at times but that just might be due to me being used the 60 fps of the remastered part 1. The AI is much better. Enemies are not as dumb as the first game. The levels are really open most of the time and different routes can be accessed to fight groups of enemies. With added the functionally of swimming every fight is dynamic apart from the scripted ones. The added ability to prone makes stealth much more easier as well.In simple words players can be creative with how they tackle hoardes of enemies. Basically the gameplay is top notch. One can play the game for the gameplay alone and have a fulfilling experience.
    Performance and visuals
    I don't need to say much about the graphics. They're simply stunning. From The dark, green, gritty streets of seattle to the bright island of santa berbara everything is beautiful. The environments are complex But The game still somehow manages to run on stable 30 Fps
    Pacing
    The pacing was generally well but I feel like parts of seattle day 2 and 3 were dragged longer than they should've been and as a result the game felt pretty slow at some points. Story
    The story is controversial but it's all a matter of perception. How one approaches the game can dictate or change their thoughts on the story. When the leaks came and everyone was furious I was low-key happy because I knew the story was gonna take a bolder direction(got no spoilers btw) instead of the vanilla stuff we usually get(DKM). You might think you know where things are headed but at the very next moment the game outsmarts you. Some sequences in the middle and the ending especially can be interpreted in different ways and that's what makes the story so good in my opinion. I personally loved the way the story played out but it's fine if you don't. There were certainly some plot holes and questionable stuff like Dina and Mal being able to fight like rambo but no game is perfect.



    Overall last of us part II has excellent gameplay with a controversial yet wonderful and emotional script. The characters of Ellie and Abby were brought to life by the excellent voice actors and the motion capture team.The cycle of hate and love was beautifully presented. It's a masterpiece in the field of storytelling. On a side note make sure you take time with game and fully play it. Don't jump into conclusions without finishing it.

    This is the first game i give a personal rating of 100 / 100 points! Its perfect!

    *SPOILER*

    i wonder how many people are homophobic. 50% of all people are not able to understand the thoughts of the characters. that shows how much the mind of our world has changed. Lots of homophobic, creativeless players who do not understand that such a harsh world as that of "the last of us" changes people. Ellie had such a tough life and always struggled, so it's no wonder she turned homosexual. Abby is very muscular for the same reason. Lev is "transgender" because he was frustrated because he didn't became a warrior in his clan.

    While playing the game, I completely changed my mind about the characters and the factions. Each faction has its own reasons and none of these factions, except for the slave drivers, are really evil.
    At first I hated Abby for what she did to Joel, but there was a moment i realized why Abby did this. Joel killed her lovely father and her friends. . .
    The death of Joel hits me hard, but Its part of the tough world, this game shows us.

    it's a shame that so many people don't appreciate a masterpiece like this!
    your way of thinking is just childish and stupid!

    Thank you Naughty Dog for this unique experience!

The game challenges you and makes you feel uncomfortable with your own hypocrisy. It makes you question, what is wrong? The action itself or the perpetrator? How far is far enough to seek revenge? Is it worth doing it at any cost? Is revenge truly fulfilling? There are some truly emotional scenes, but the game also makes you feel on the edge of your seat many times. I'd say you should give it a chance and make your own conclusions about this game. Expand

    I really couldn’t get into gaming since the ps2 until I got the Last of Us for the ps3. The story had me hooked and it was game play that I could do. Now with this game release, I went platinum less than a month after the release date. It definitely will always be a game I go back to, in between games. Bravo Naughty Dog

    Jogo simplesmente impressionante do começo ao fim. Conseguiram fazer algo que eu realmente não esperava, que era fazer um jogo tão bom quanto o primeiro da franquia. Apesar de ter algumas "gafes" em personagens que precisavam ser mais desenvolvidos, o jogo não deixa de ser um dos melhores jogos que já joguei.

    State of the art graphics. gameplay is neither complex nor revolutionary but extremely tense and immersive. The story is quite simple but so powerful and revolutionary in the ways it's told that it pushes the limits of mainstram media narrative. The way themes like grief, tribalism, revenge but most importantly forgivness are handled is shocking and devastating. A real masterpiece.

    The visuals and audio are great, game mechanics slightly improved (even though still sometimes frustrating). There are plenty of breathtaking, memorable moments, the game is soaked with atmosphere. Where TLOU was slightly hopeful, TLOU2 is gritty, dark and unforgiving. Yes, the game is brutal and naturalistic, which is good because violence should be shown for what it is, it shouldn't be polished.

    Looking forward to Part III.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a story for the ages...
    I'll skip over the gameplay/graphics because they're top notch.

    But the story, the themes it plays with, the emotions it triggers... wow, it was exhausting, it was tough, sometimes I didn't even want to do what the game wanted me to. But I understood that I had to go through it.
    This isn't your typical revenge story that required you to get your revenge at the end. This is a story about grief and forgiveness.
    This is a story about how important it is to walk into someone else's shoes.

    SPOILERS AHEAD!

    The developers did an amazing job at making us feel enraged at Abby for what she did to Joel. We weren't just playing Ellie, we were Ellie, we understood her motivations and goals and we were up for it. But slowly we started seeing the cracks in her. The increasing violence to reach her goal, to kill the woman who killed Joel. And she sees it too but waves it all away because killing Abby is all that matters. And we do the same, we question sometimes her actions but we push through. We wave away Dina's concerns so we can head off early to get to Nora. We're so blinded by our thirst for revenge that nothing else matters.
    And then we kill a pregnant woman, we get everyone back and we realize that maybe, maybe it's time to put an end to this.

    Enter Abby.

    I'll be honest, the first hours playing Abby I was mad, like, why am I playing the antagonist here?!
    Why should I care about her?!

    But then her story unfolds, we see a teenager who's lost her father and is struck with grief for years, and won't ever let go. Even straining her relationship with her friends. Pushing away Owen. She's not realising it yet but she's starting to lose herself. But regardless, revenge is all that matters to her. So she tracks Joel and gets her revenge. And believe me, that thirst will have you do the most despicable things.

    So we play her for the most of the second half of the game. We see her brash/arrogant attitude take a hit when she's being questioned in her belief in the WLF. When the story forces her to care for someone other than herself, for Lev and Yara.
    And this awakens something in her, since her dad's passing, while she had friends, she was ultimately a loner. Lev and Yara showed her another part of her that she forgot was there. She realises that, even says it at one point that she's doing it for herself. She realizes that she has to save herself.
    And she had to walk into someone else's shoes (Lev and Yara's) to get to that conclusion.
    This culminates with the WLF attack on the Seraphites, 2 groups so hellbent on revenge and destruction, they self-destruct, leaving nothing but ashes behind them.
    They forgot their humanity and all that mattered was making the other pay.

    Abby wasn't about that anymore, she wanted out, she wanted to care for herself and others, something she hadn't done since her dad's passing.

    And then she goes back to the Aquarium and revenge takes over again. She wants blood. She gets Jesse's, nearly gets Tommy's and if it wasn't for Lev, she would've had Dina's.
    In that scene, Lev is Abby's anchor to her humane side, he pulls her back before she crosses that line.
    In her quest for revenge against Joel, she's lost everything and everyone, except for Lev. When her eyes open to that, she finally calls it quits, she breaks her cycle of revenge, of destruction. She's ready to rebuild herself by helping provide a brighter future to Lev.

    Ellie on the other hand, she hasn't come to terms, because for her it wasn't all about avenging Joel, but about mending her relationship with him. They had started to mend things out when Abby pulled the rug from under them. Ellie hadn't forgiven Joel for not letting her life mean something and save the world. But she wanted to try.

    That thought is still in her head months later, even as DIna and her have a restful farmlife. But the thought is clinging to her brain like the fungus. It won't let go unless she does something.

    And that something leads her into her revenge path again, she doesn't want to do it but she has to. This is a brilliant representation of mental illness, of ptsd. It's not about the wants but about the urges, the itch that needs scratching. And this is one Ellie can't stand anymore.

    She goes out to enact revenge on Abby.

    When she finds her, Abby is a shell of her old self because of slavery. Ellie is almost hesitant but she has to do it, she doesn't say "want", but "have to". It's an urge.
    She almost kills Abby, but in that moment, a flash of Joel goes through her mind. She finally realises that killing her won't bring her peace. If anything, it'll make her feel more miserable.
    No, her salvation will come from somewhere different.

    She lets Abby go, and by doing so, she forgives Joel for what he had done in Part I.
    She's lost a lot but kept what remained of her humanity. Enough to rebuild what had been lost.
    That's why I'm looking forward to Part III...

TLOU2 challenges traditional experience of gaming: The player is no longer the savior of the (virtual) world, in contrary, the main character eventually gave up the task they determined to accomplish at the beginning (It sounds also a bit like TLOU) — it seems depressing, but we know “it cannot be for nothing”. I love TLOU2 for it’s an excellently-written story for mature adults, about loss, imperfection, and regrets in life. Those game players, who hate the game just because things did not go as they wish, should grow up. Keep up the good work Naughty Dog, and time will prove it’s a masterpiece. A fan from China. Expand

    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.
