    Gameplay 9.5/10
    It is certainly improved since the first chapter. I really enjoyed variety and freedom vs human groups and authenticity vs infected. Locations were well designed and could be replayed with different styles. Shooting feeling and reactions are so good that I want to play again at a harder difficulty. Rope mechanics are awesome but could've been used more, with more variety in puzzles.

    I could criticise that the start & finish to combat sequences are too certain. There's not much surprise encounters when looting etc. Game is like now it's fighting part and we shoot them and our characters says literally oh we killed all the guys and now it's looting part. It could be better if we were on the alarm all the time reflecting the environment. Not much a downside but yeah..

    Story & Writing 8/10
    I must say I didn't see any spoilers beforehand except the critical one at the beginning. When I finished the game, I was satisfied with my feelings and the journey I have been through.

    It slows down at times, feels too stretched. It lacks some quality and I must admit that it's somewhat disappointing. I'm not talking about like all the angry fans about creative decisions by writers, this is their story. They've chosen a story to tell and I liked it, just not as good as I expected.

    There could be other ways to continue our beloved duo's journey and it would be more appealing for the fans. They have chosen a a bold approach and I respect that.

    BTW, there's not much SJW thing to worry about. The things there are only adds to the story in a good way.

    Overall, this is definitely one of the best games of this generation and a MUST PLAY for all the gamers.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After having finished it I can say that it is a great game at all levels (gameplay, graphics, mechanics, sound and, YES, history too), but I admit that personally I prefer the story of the first one. The story of this second part is more complex in what you want to transmit and how it is transmitted, but the one in the first one seemed more interesting and original to me. The objective of the story of this second part is, basically, that we also feel empathy for Addy, since what Joel did is unforgivable (everyone knows what I am talking about) and sooner or later he would suffer the repercussions of it. Joel was my favorite character from the first game, but it would be illogical to say that he was a good person for everything he had done in his past, just like Abby, but it is obvious that she had more justifications for doing everything she did in this second part. Precisely, that is one of the messages of the game: it may be that in this world there are no good people or heroes. I guess this second part was not well received by everyone because I think they hoped that Joel would redeem himself in some way for having probably condemned all of humanity by leaving her without the cure of everything that is happening and that was practically impossible, since that not even Ellie did not know if she was going to forgive him or not (although that is clarified in the end). I hope that this game later will be valued for what it really is: a great game.

    The story is crude on purpose, it is a tense and complex game that, more than a simple simple story, tries to leave messages. The most relevant thing is to understand the ending and few people I've read have understood it: leaving Abby alive in the ending, that fact marks that Ellie forgave Joel.

    It is not an easy and simple story that shows epicity for its own sake or to please the players, this is seen by the lack of fan service, since it was not developed to satisfy the requests or the tastes of one or the majority. Brave on the part of Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Хочется начать с того, что эта игра не для спидрана, если вы проходили всю игру за суки, мне вас искренне жаль. Мое прохождение заняло 35 часов, если бы я эту игру быстро пробегал на минимальном уровне сложности, я бы ее возненавидел, она слишком долгая (говорю по опыту с первыми тремя не такими большими играми серии Uncharted). Проходить игру на YouTube или пробегать лишь бы увидеть финальные титры, а потом бежать на Metacritic- кощунство.
    Я получал нереальное удовольствие от атмосферы, геймплея, саундтрека, и конечно же сюжета (к нему вернемся позже), который подарил много эмоций. Каждый бой приносил удовольствие от его детальной проработки и напряжения, которое создает игра. Глобально геймплей не изменился, но из-за новых механик, больших и вертикальных локаций, ощущается превосходно и дарит много интересных ситуаций. Вообще это, наверное, самая жестокая и откровенная игра на данный момент. В игре много жестоких моментов и насилия, от многих даже перекашивает, настолько хорошо. Так, что заявления разработчиков о насилии полностью оправданы.
    Теперь к важной части – сюжету. Основной сюжет стартует после убийства Джоэла. Тут претензия только в том, что старый Джоэл только появляется и почти стразу погибает. Не совсем было понятно кого мы теряем, за 5 лет персонаж изменился. Было бы неплохо, если бы показали утро Джоэла, как они патрулировали с Томми и как нарвались на Эбби. Да, игра была бы еще больше, но, с другой стороны, эту ситуацию исправляют флешбэки, правда ближе к концу игры.
    Элии порой сложно понять, за нее приходится делать вещи, которые делать не особо хочется. Она одержима! Впрочем, в этом и смысл, так что в этом нет ничего плохого. К концу игры мы сильнее понимаем её мотивацию, хоть и не хочется принимать её позицию. Элли заплатила огромную цену за то, что уже не исправить. Никакая природа, вирус или ещё что-то не убивает человека во всех смыслах так, как это делает сам человек. И умение прощать- некий лучик надежды на то, что в Элии осталась человечность.
    Я не знаю какой психологический барьер мешал людям полюбить Эбби. Мне она понравилась, как и желание сценариста показать другую сторону конфликта.
    Мне игра очень понравилась, она подарила кучу эмоций. Слабее ли сюжет, чем в первой части? И да и нет. Качество сюжета в первой части задало высокую планку. Но вторая часть подарила гораздо больше эмоций и впечатлений. Игра достаточно индивидуальна. Игрок может в нее влюбиться или наоборот возненавидеть. Но она ни как не заслуживает такого говна, которое на нее льется. Говорю Naughty Dog спасибо и желаю им ни в коем случае не опускать руки и удачи в их следующем проекте.
    И да мне конечно же мне лично заплатил Нил Дракманн, чтобы я купил его игру и поставил ей высокую оценку.

That something happens in the beginning, was hard for me to understand. But this moment showed me that this game has no plot armor. And this was very refreshing, cause no one was safe the whole further story. The only thing is that the side characters and one other important character, I couldn´t get very invested in. And that´s why for me part 2 could also be 2-3 hours shorter. But all this criticism is still on a very high level.
    Naughty Dog created a very special game that is different and on a high quality budged.
    For me one of the best games on this gen. Cause weeks after I´ve played it, I must still think about it, and this is something that not many games did with me.    … Expand

    I wen into the game with no spoilers, so I intend to spoil nothing in this review.
    To tackle many people's biggest complaint: the story.
    this is the one aspect that falls slightly short of TLOU, however the story is quite the opposite of the last of us, whilst the first game is about saving another this is about ending one. If you expected the stories to be the same then you should change that perspective right now. Through out the game you get to play as two characters; Ellie and Abby. Whilst Ellie's story is dim and full of hatred, driven by rage into making suicidal decisions, Abby's is fueled by love and mainly regret. This game brings a closer look at an already devastated world, it's about death and sorrow, the people within a torned world and how they live through it. Compared to the first game where you discover a torn world and how to live in it. So obviously this game is far different story wise. And personally I loved the story.
    Gameplay is far more versatile in Part II, this ability to do so much more allows for a lot more fun. Whilst the combat is repetitive just like in the first game, the introduction of new tools be it a new ammo type, craft-able or weapon, increases your creative ways to murder. Overall I found the gameplay in this game a lot more fun than the first, especially a specific encounter which is possibly one of my favourite gaming moments.
    The atmosphere of this game is impressive, the first one was so disturbed yet beautiful, and this game does a great job of reinstating that and improving it. To be honest, I thought I wouldn't be scared by this game (seeing as I'm already accustomed to the world) but there are so many tense moments that leave you fearing for your life. This game is a cinematic masterpiece, from beautiful sunsets to dark interior building to raging fires, if there is anything truly incredible about this game it is the visuals.
    The music in this game is just as empty as the first, giving it the exact same feel. One lonely instrument. Seeing as guitar plays such a heavy role in this game every piece played on guitar is symbolic of (spoilers). Music always kicks in at the right time, to set a scene, to increase tension, it's so absorbing you don't even realise the music is even there, and thats why I think the sound design is amazing.
    Story: 8
    Gameplay: 9
    Atmosphere: 10
    I think this game is definitely worth playing

The emotions you go through while playing are amazing. I just think people expected a whole other Joel and Ellie adventure while Ellie discovers the events of the 1rst game which in my opinion would have been a huge mistake because the same thing with a few tweaks always end up worse than the original. Best example is Terminator 2 and 3. The 3 is the same with a few tweaks which makes you think: meh not bad but it’s basically the same thing
    This game just speaks differently for everyone. I loved it because I was hooked and implied in the plot. Others were pissed immediately and kept going, refusing to change their mind so they missed the whole point of the game    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished the game about an hour ago. Really been thinking about it. I really enjoyed this experience and don't understand how people have been giving such low scores. The gameplay is vastly improved from the first game. Playing as Abby is a completely different experience from playing as ellie. It allows you to think more outside of your comfort zone and what youre used to. Abby does not have a knife like Ellie so it allows you to craft shows like joel had to do in the first game. The small amount of new mechanics that were added such as jumping and dodging may seem small but really give you a fleshed out and more realistic experience. The story is really solid for most of the game. Although it is hard to be invested in the story upon the second part of the game. They really do a good job with Abby's story and eventually make you come around and start to like her as a character also there was a hotline Miami reference which is 100 extra points.… Expand

    Finally, done with The Last of Us Part II. I won't go into any detail regarding the story. I'll dissect things in bits and pieces which constitute the game as a whole, and then a summary of my thoughts. First off, this game is not for everyone. I won't go into any arguments as to why this is the case, as we all interpret things differently. As for me, I loved it. Despite all    NO SPOILERS

    Finally, done with The Last of Us Part II. I won't go into any detail regarding the story. I'll dissect things in bits and pieces which constitute the game as a whole, and then a summary of my thoughts.

    First off, this game is not for everyone. I won't go into any arguments as to why this is the case, as we all interpret things differently. As for me, I loved it. Despite all the flak that Naughty Dog has been getting lately from all over the Internet, I feel like they gave me more than my money's worth. And then some.

    GAMEPLAY
    It's more of the same, with minor improvements here, and there. I don't think there's really much to touch up on the gameplay, as it was already top notch to begin with. I did like how fluid everything felt, due in part to a heightened sense of freedom of approach. You can opt for stealth, or go in guns blazin' like the cowboy that you are. The game doesn't push you into a certain playstyle, and it makes it really fun. I do recommend playing on the higher difficulties. Fewer resources means you plan out how you'll use what you have, and how you approach certain scenarios. It really makes you feel the drab scarcity of the world you live in. And the game shines in that regard. LEVEL DESIGN - Gameplay
    I like how the level design was literally elevated. Since there's an added verticality to Ellie, the map was constructed with multiple tiers in mind. I felt that the first game was so tight and constrictive, but this one blows it out of the park. Massive levels with much more freedom during subsections meant a more varied experience for everyone, minimizing repetition. This also means more replayability, since you can miss out on a lot because of how much there is to see. LEVEL DESIGN - Art
    I paid much more attention to the lay of the land this time around, and I can see how meticulously crafted the world is, very much similar to the first game. I really like how interconnected everything feels compared to the previous game.

    PLAYTIME
    My playtime total was 35 hours and 25 mins. Due to the added nature of the highest difficulty, I did take some more time with the game than usual. I also tried to mop up as much of the collectibles as I could, which also added to the counter. Overall, this is a 20-25 hour game on regular difficulties. There were some padded out sections, but I didn't really feel it was too detrimental to the whole experience. STORY
    This is where it gets spicy. A lot of people hate it, a lot of people are indifferent, and then there are people like me who loved it. I think this is an examination of the human psyche, and the depths we're willing to go to fulfill our need for satisfaction, whatever that may be. The Last of Us isn't a story about heroes and villains; it's a human story about people just trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. A world wherein survival could mean consequences down the line, and how our actions, no matter how justified or satisfying it may be, will always have repercussions. It might be hard to relate to, for some, given the circumstances we live in, but I couldn't really think of anything to compare this to. It's a world of its own. There were times when I had trouble going further, mainly because it was all too much. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because then I wouldn't have the drive to see things through. And it also means that it makes me feel so much, which, I must say, doesn't happen quite a lot, even in other entertainment media.

    I did go into this with no preconceived notion as to how it should go. After all, this isn't my story to tell. I'm lucky I was able to avoid spoilers as much as possible, because it would've ruined the experience. The plot as a whole won't be agreeable for everyone, but I like how it was done, and I felt that no one was left behind in this story. Execution was really great. SUMMARY
    In the end, everything was worth it; the wait, the money spent, the time lost to playing. A rollercoaster of emotions throughout, with some moments leaving me teary-eyed, or just downright broken at the core. And I think this is where it succeeds, since the goal was to challenge your outlook on survival, and how far you're willing to go to feel some semblance of vindication. It's not a perfect game; in fact, far from it. But what it does great far surpasses what it does otherwise. And the fact that it encourages discussion between the morality of the charactes, and the story itself, is a victory already. And that god-tier animation. Facial detail is on a whole another level. Naughty Dog set the standard again in that regard. I'd give it a 9/10. -1 for not doing much in terms of gameplay innovation.

    I forgot to say this but mad props to Naughty Dog for adding in that extra work to make the game accessible for everyone. You can spend an hour alone tweaking the game to your liking / disability / personal challenges.    … Expand

Hacía muuuucho tiempo que no veía un juego con tanto nivel de detalle en todos los sentidos (maybe equiparable al Red Dead Redemption 2). Y esto son solamente aspectos puramente objetivos...
    En cuanto a lo subjetivo, a mí la historia me pareció bastante completa. Reconozco que el primer cuarto de juego se me hizo un poco lento, pero habiendo terminado el juego, creo que ese punto es necesario para "coger aire" frente a lo que se nos viene encima. La trama está bien llevada, sin artificios y sin "grandes" agujeros de guión. Poco a poco descubres que todo cobra sentido y la magia de este juego es que nada es lo que parece y que no existen buenos o malos... Todos y cada uno de los personajes están llenos de actos malvados, pero a la vez son compasivos. No es así la vida?

    It was until recently after finish another playing-through of the first game, I decided to finally give Part 2 a try, my opinion has completely changed after I'm done, and I feel sorry to have easily bought into the hate narrative without actually experiencing it.

    On paper, without context, the plot of this game can be "hate-able", the keyword here is "without context". Putting everything into the game's context and execution, it actually make sense. The characters are very well-written, they are human, they don't make optimal decisions, they are influenced by their human emotions. It is not an easy game to play, emotionally speaking. But it is an artistic piece to experience, you can tell that the team put lots of heart into crafting this game, it made me reflect, and think about the theme this game explored. That's what a good piece of artwork should do, to chanllenge and provoke.

    There are definitely moments where some characters' action feels off and out-of-character, those areas could be executed better, hence it's not a 10/10 for me. But the overall quality of this game is great.

    I recommend this game to people who are interested, whether you like it or hate it, it's a worth-experiencing game, the kind that we probably won't get many in the upcoming future, judging by how un-ready the audiences are at accepting something different.    … Expand

    A truly amazing game and story.

    I recommend playing it, letting it sink in a couple of days and replaying it again.
    There is a lot more in the story than what you see at first glance. A lot I did not see the first time.

    Gamplay is top notch, just like the sound, visuals and performance of the actors.

    My only problem with the game is that it feels like it drags on a bit long at some points.

    But other than that the game was fantastic. Most of the new characters were great, the gameplay is intense and brutal, and the story was definitely on par with the first, and was even more creative than the first.

It is, however, an unpleasant experience through-and-through. Every part of this story seems to become more and more depressing. There are few, if any, calming intermissions, and when they happen they tend to occur after shocking moments preceding a rewinding of time that makes it all the more unsettling as the “calm before the storm” which players will want to finish in order to find out the moment’s conclusion.

    The game is still utterly incredible, no matter what other users seem to think. As such, I will focus on the flaws that I found. The level design is too linear, making backtracking impossible even when all that would be required is walking back up a somewhat slippery hill. It is very easy to get lost searching for supplies and collectibles while losing track of where you have and have not searched, simply because the environments are so chaotic and the items so easily missable. I played the game as thoroughly as possible, and still missed a ton of collectibles—often due to being unaware that jumping over a certain ledge would lead to story progression and irreversible progression. The game could definitely be more open, and after all that time in development I am fairly disappointed that it is not. Only in the beginning is there any semblance of a somewhat “open” world. But that soon faded through linearly—although perfectly—tailored segments and environments built around encounters, as well as travel between encounters. This sucks because the world seems to have so much potential for intuitive traversal. Finally, this is a great game despite a seemingly shallow story over revenge and PTSD. Most people will feel this to be a worthwhile experience, albeit an incredibly unsatisfying one. This is by design, it is meant to be controversial and—probably—series-ending. I cannot see how a sequel, with the same characters, would be possible after this. As stated early on, this is meant to be an unpleasant experience during what is—for many people—a very unpleasant time. Do not play this if you currently are not in a good headspace.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, before you give any validation to negative reviews here, check the date. This game will take you approximately 25 hrs to beat, so anyone who published a review on the day it released, is either someone who never played it, or speedran through it, ignoring the story beats. That said, I love this game. I thought the story was great, gameplay solid, music and graphics are outstanding. I never felt like everyone we knew, would survive a second go around, to think so would be unrealistic in this apocalyptic world. That said, deaths were poignant and impact full. Pacing can be off at times. little things like safe cracking without the codes, and a characters fear of heights and how is it portrayed are a wonderful touch. As for length, I feel like they could have double dipped on us. By that i mean they could have put most of the second have out as dlc at a later date, but they didnt. I think we got two games in one here, and i am very happy with it.… Expand

Especially during the Abby missions. It´s dark, grim and demanding. You spend plenty of time in dark places and the flashlight you have is very well used this time.

    The story would probably disappoint many i am sure, but on a technical viewpoint, this game is fantastic. It is obvious that tons of work has been made on every little detail on the level designs. It has been 7 very long years well spent, and it shows. It was a deep, evolving, emotional and brutal journey. This is probably the most realistic post-apocalyptic setting there is. There is no happiness or optimism in a time set like TLOU universe.

    The ONLY downside is the pacing that can be slow in certain parts, and that is the only reason it misses the 10/10 from me. The are certain times during your exploring when you pretty much DO just that, Exploring and pacing around for long stretches before you even encounter an item even. Some areas seems dead certain places.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La verdad que es un juegazo, técnicamente es genial, sus gráficos son hermosos, su sonido te hace sentir dentro del mundo, su ost es genial como el primero, jugablemente es muy entretenido, vistoso y da para mucha imaginación y diversión, en cuanto al apartado de la inteligencia artificial esperaba algo mejor en cuanto al comportamiento de los infectados, sabemos que estos se alertan con el ruido y me hubiera gustado que el sonido de los pasos en el agua los alertara o la caída desde una superficie alta los alertara si estan a cierta distancia, le agregaria mas inmersion y dificultad. En cuanto a los npc estos están bastante bien pero siento de que pudieron ser mejor, me hubiera gustado que te flaqueen mas o se comuniquen mas entre ellos como se había rumoreado en el pre-lanzamiento. Ahora en cuanto historia eh de admitir que a pesar de todas las malas criticas me encanto, no se si es mejor que el original pero es bastante buen. Naugthy dog tenia un reto enorme en cuanto a la historia ya que la primera es una obra de arte pero para mi gusto lo hicieron bien. Pase por muchas etapas, entre la ira, la tristeza, la felicidad, derrame lagrimas y solte risas pero sobre todo es una historia que a mi parecer nos invita a la reflexión, durante mucho tiempo tuvimos la idea en la cabeza de que joel y ellie eran las personas mas buenas en este apocalipsis y realmente lo son, cada uno es el protagonista de su propia historia, los ame en la primera parte y en esta segunda también, y recalco en que nos invita a la reflexión por que las motivaciones de abby son muy parecidas a las de ellie en todo el juego, las acciones de abby son muy parecidas a la de ellie y joel en ambos juegos y sin embargo senti mucha bronca cuando paso lo que sabemos que pasa, senti mucho dolor y ganas de destrozarla, pero al fin y al cabo si nosotros no nos quejamos de esas acciones cuando joel y ellie lo hicieron el primer juego quitandole las pocas esperanzas y el único propósito de toda la gente abby y su padre es normal que sientan esa sed insaciable de venganza, no lo puedo culpa, seria hipócrita de mi parte, y si en parte sentí empatia con abby(tampoco tanta, todavía me duele lo que hizo pero después de vivir lo que vive ellie tomaría la misma decisión que al final) y con el yara y lev, dicho sea de paso estos personajes ayudan a abby a crecer como personaje, gracias a lev tenemos a ellie viva, si bien a mi parecer le falto desarrollo o tal vez otro enfoque a la historia de abby para que sintamos aprecio y tratemos de entender los que hace durante el juego pero es una tarea muy difícil, por que arrancar el juego con ella para desarrollar mejor hubiera sido para que crucifiquen al juego sabiendo como son y dedicarle un juego aparte a ella seria un suicidio por que se enojarian con toda el alma, mi solución(seguro que naugthy dog lo pensó ) podría a ver sido intercalar episodios con ambos personajes para entender a cada uno y llegar al gran final. tambien hubiera sido ultil mejorar el elenco de secundarios de abby a exepcion de yara y lev que son geniales, el resto son molestos y aburridos. El final me parece muy correcto por que invita a pensar en nuestras acciones y se puede ver un cambio en ellie. Este juego tiene muchos aspectos mas para discutir como la inclusión lgbt que no la senti forzada, también el cambio físico de abby que hace dudar a owen sobre su amor por ella, y es un aspecto importante por que demuestra cuanto se comprometió con realizar su venganza contra joel. Es un juego difícil de llevar, que tiene las bolas suficientes para mostrar lo que debe mostrar sin vacilaciones, aplaudo a Naugthy dog por animarse a tal proeza y creo que es un juego que va quedar en la historia, tal vez adelantado a su época, tal vez no por que la hipocresía siempre va estar en las personas.

I am in a new part and can't go back. I observe that the good and the evil are not white and black in the contemporary scenarios. When you read both sides of the story, when you learn about the conditions that led to actions which seemed evil you may sympathize with the villain. Maybe every one of us is a villain in somebody's story. I guess this game explores the boundaries between the good and the evil in a merciless apocalyptic world.

The main issue with this game is obvious to anybody who's played this, it's Abby, sure I hated her at first, but after understanding her I didn't mind her by the end. And the ending, which most people despised, was very poetic in my opinion, Ellie at that moment realized that she needed to break the cycle that she, Joel, & Abby have been in since the end of the last of us. also the graphics & the gameplay is some of the best i've ever seen ever.

    The soundtrack is good, not quite the bangers like in part one, but Gustavo still delivers.
    The gameplay is a (slightly) improved version of the one in the first part, which was great then and still is.

    The game mostly suffers from the story. Specifically the order in which the story is told, since I believe the finished narrative is actually great and ends fittingly to what was built up over the course of about 25 hours. On that note, the game has a much different feel to it compared to the first one (as in that it is significantly darker), which is by far not a bad thing and executed quite well, but I understand how it could have caught people off guard.
    However, there is one fight towards the end of the game that was kind of off putting and interfered with my immersion, but I understand what Naughty Dog was going for and I would not constitute it as grounds for the whole game being bad.

    To address the "pandering" aspect that is often criticized, i understand how SJW can appear obnoxious in the same way that anything else can be obnoxious when overdone. The matter was however handled very maturely and shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.
    Other than Ellie being gay (which was already established in the first part) and having a bisexual girlfriend (which was actually foreshadowed by Ellie being **** GAY), there is a 13 year old character that was born a girl but appears as a boy in every other significant way. Her gender is in no way shoved in the players face.
    There is also a woman, which some assume to be trans simply because she is muscular yet there are flashbacks where she is shown as a girl.

    It is kind of sad how this game was review bombed even before the game was released and I can't think of an honest/realistic justification to rate the overall experience anything less than mediocre.
    I read the leaks after I finished the game and while true, they are taken out of context and heavily and unsupportedly interpreted upon.

This time Naughty Dog dwells even deeper in human nature, proving us that the worst danger in a post-apocalyptic world are humans themselves. Actions have consequences, and when facing with incredible scenarios, humans are capable of anything. Unlike its predecessor, the tone is so much darker, which is a pro and a cons at the same time. Some people might find the passing or the script to be too thick to their taste and that's a valid complain. For others, like me, it shows a different side of the characters.

    Combat, looting and crafting is as solid as the first. New enemies keep it fresh but still creepy. It's good to think how you will engage encounters trying to reserve resources but still win some brutal fights.

    I don't know how it got so many negative reviews on day one as it is a pretty long game, must be a lot of speed runners about. I can see why some people might not like where the story went so I am not disregarding all the negative reviews but the day one reviews seem fishy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sweet Jesus, Neil Druckmann, what did you just do? This was my first thought after ending the game. I really don't know what to say, it is a masterpiece or some gruesome, depressing movie that spits in your **** face al the way. First of all, I want to talk about everything except the story. The graphics are amazing. My 6 years old poor Ps4 can show something incredible, I could not believe in it. But it has minor issues such as popping details and textures in front of you. The gameplay almost the same, however, it is really upgraded with motion matching technology and you can see love and care of devs in every NPC, zombie, they are looking amazing. Some of the people say: "This is boring, throw bottle there, kill him, shoot there, go find supplies blah blah blah", do not listen to them, it is a pure lie, the gameplay is actually fascinating, especially on higher difficulty. While playing The last of us part 2, I saw so many ridiculous features and details I could not believe my eyes, but when you want to destroy a bottle ( not a throwable), lamp, burn a car, burn a tent, blow up a piece of furniture, shoot off a gun or walk on corpses, you cannot do this and it's really **** upsetting. All those crunches and years for what? For **** carpet, if you barely walk by, it will be lifted by air(first zombie encounter in Jackson(Ellie)), the blood and gore sure look dope. Music is a masterpiece( at least it was not ruined). They decided to change Gustavo Santaolalla to Mac Qualey for more intense moments such as hordes, car chase, horse chase and so on. Now the story. Two hours seems peaceful( not Abby's sequence) until Joel's horrible death. Okay, I get it, **** revenge at all cost. The first part of the game we play as our beautiful Ellie then after Jesse's death we play as **** fridge till the end to know her backstory and her not related to the story path. Okay, I will swallow it too. IT WAS SO **** LONG AND UNINERESTING SEQUENCE I wanted to speedrun it. When I understood that I will have to beat the crap out of Ellie, GODDAMN ELIEE by the **** muscle fridge, I wanted to delete this game. I wanted revenge so much. After a while, I met Abby, started fighting with her. She would have almost drowned but Ellie decided not to kill her. REALLY? Well, I can understand why she chose not to kill her, to break a cycle of violence but it was so poorly written, shown that I cannot help but thinking about the mess Neil made of the story. He should have given us a choice to kill or not to kill the fridge or just kill her to show how revenge is bad and devastating. He should have forgotten that stupid idea of the CycLE of VIoLEnCe because we are killing too many people just not to kill the main target. I could not give it a 0 or 1, or 2, or freaking 3 but solid 8 or 7 'cause this is a masterpiece of everything except some parts of the story. Every developer devoted their heart to make this game and I just can't give it a lower point. **** Neil, it will be a lesson for him. "Vengeance is an idiot's game” - Arthur Morgan 1899.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overview: A great game.

    Now, a more detailed look. TLOU2 has the theme of revenge. It's an old theme, one that has been covered many times. I'm not adverse to stories exploring it, but it does seem a little... generic. I do like that it's used here as a jumping off point to explore larger themes like obsession.

    Both Ellie & Abby are both obsessed with revenge & we see the impact it has on both of their lives. Initially, from Abby's perspective, she gets hers & all seems well. Then Ellie re-enters her life & we see the impact her revenge has on her life. She loses everything. Her friends, her place in the world; had she not gone hunting Joel, Owen would not have gotten worn out so soon, she'd have never met Lev, she'd have likely stayed with the WLF. Similarly Ellie loses everything; her father figure, her partner, their child. Both have a sliver of hope at the end - Abby sets off with Lev; Ellie still has Jackson, Tommy, Maria and Dina & JJ are out there.

    So yeah, the main narrative - how revenge is destructive - is done well. It's a little standard, but it works. But there's more. PTSD. At first Ellie seems fueled by grief, but gradually we come to see that she is suffering from PTSD and, alone with Dina, she lacks the support to process it appropriately. This fuels her revenge, she becomes increasingly driven by both. That's an element a lot of revenge narratives don't look at, so that helps the story to stand out slightly.

    Okay, now to all things queer. This game does representation pretty well overall. There are some issues, but overall it's good. First, sexuality. The game goes to great lengths not to sensationalise or sexualise Ellie's sexuality & in doing so sets a solid standard in representation of LGBTQ relationships, with just one issue I'll cover soon. They have ups & downs, Ellie puts her foot in her mouth at times, there are adorable moments in equal measure. And they avoid the dead lesbian trope. **** finally. I do find it unfortunate that at the end Dina has left.

    The game's flaw is its obsession with negativity. I can't think of a single character aside from Eugene (who passed away peacefully before the game) who doesn't go through Some Horrific **** The game feels like misery porn at times & it's kind of overwhelming.

    Lev. Where to start. Lev is a great character with a nice arc. I love that the protagonists just accept him. Abby hears his deadname & when he asks her if she's going to ask about it, she replies with "do you want me to?", he says "no" And She Doesn't Ask.

    This is where we have an issue. Deadnaming. Story wise, I get why it's there. The cult doesn't accept trans people. But also, they don't want him back, they want to kill him. At times they refer to Lev & his sister as apostates & I don't see why they wouldn't just stick with that. They are no longer part of the family, they deserve death. Just leave it at apostate.

    Lev is one of a handful of unambiguous trans characters in AAA games. When one of such few characters is involved with some of the most horrific misery porn made, including causing the death of his mother in self-defense, it has an impact. I get that TLOU is a truly horrific world, but this goes back to what I said about every single character experiencing Some Real Nasty **** It feels unnecessary, especially given the real world **** trans people have been going through for years.

    That doesn't change the fact that Lev himself is a solid character & it'd be nice to see more of his story in his own words, not others talking about him, which is another issue, almost all of his trans narrative is presented though others. He's a fantastic character and I hope he returns in a potential TLOU3 in a much expanded role.

    So, how is the queer representation in TLOU2? Overall, it's several steps forward. Neil Druckmann & team did a good job. I hope they take on board some of the criticism they've received. Again, going back to misery - I get that TLOU is not a happy world, but if you're going to include LGBTQ+ characters please remember that we go through A Lot Of **** in our current world. Seeing a game that, in some light, can be perceived as saying "see how worse it could be?" feels a little like offering a chocolate bar in one hand whilst holding a lead pipe in the other, ready to strike.

    I'm not saying to put us on an untouchable pedastal or anything like that. Just please bear it in mind & try to offer more balance of light with the darkness. Consider the minorities you are representing. Bring us in. Have us help you on the path. Talk to young trans men. Talk to people who have escaped cults.

    So, did I enjoy the game? Absolutely. It's fantastic, easily the best game of the year so far, indeed the best game in many years. It has issues but so does *all* art. Hopefully the team will learn the lessons of Disney and not have a knee jerk reaction to online negativity. Have confidence in the stories you tell & stand by your convictions.    … Expand

    This sequel plays more with morale and perspective on the situation, in theory, so that our opinion is broader and not just supportive of one character. However this is a dirty move, this tactic only creates a conflict within us.

    At the end of the campaign I feel mentally broken, sentimentally bad, with a desolate ending. Yes, I learned more about revenge and forgiveness, the consequences of decisions, and how the world is still a place where the strongest survive, where there seems to be no good or bad.

    Only a couple of moments didn't quite convince me, and the little weight of the music (compared to the first title) were the bad details to highlight. Must Play.    … Expand

This is the largest and most ambitious work developed    "THE LAST OF US PART II" is one of the games I am looking forward to most in this year. Today, I fully experience and pass the game with the difficulty of survivors. The following is the detailed.

    Naughty dog once again shows us the best audio-visual experience of PS4 in this generation with the top production level in the industry. This is the largest and most ambitious work developed by the production team so far. The excellent art in the game greatly masks the shortcomings of PS4 in terms of PS4's capabilities. In the aspect of combat experience, the move of dodging and crawling is added in this work, which greatly improves the game experience in the process of fighting and stealth. The more intelligent AI makes the enemy very difficult to deal with. The enemy will carry out a careful search according to the player's position. The team with clear division of labor will be responsible for command and encirclement. When the enemy is facing death, there will be crying or even begging for mercy , and your enemies will be disgusted with you. Such a rich detailed description is exactly what the production team wants to bring more real performance to the players. In the aspect of level design, the game surpasses the previous generation and reaches a new level. Players need to use environmental resources reasonably and judge the venue correctly, which is more prominent especially under high difficulty.the excellent audio-visual experience and excellent performance make the whole level battle full of thrill and excitement. This work also has excellent performance in auxiliary function, which is especially reflected in the design of barrier free function. Perfect barrier free design can enable the disabled to participate in the experience game.

    About characters and narratives:

    The whole game is divided into three parts. After the prologue, there will be Allie, Abby and the last chapter. In the characterization, the roles of Allie are not as profound as those of Abby. For example, Jesse and Allie lack more meaningful dialogues, and Jesse is more like a forced patchwork of existence, which is more obvious after I finished the part of Abby. In the game experience, we can also clearly find that the Abby is more important than Ellie.it is not difficult to find out that the center of the game is Abby not Ellie. The description of Abby has not reached a better level, and she is also the most important character in the whole game. At the end of the game, Naughty dog tries to telling us what is the vortex of hatred and the redemption of life, but it creates a slightly regretful performance directly, so the characterization of Ellie is greatly reduced. The writing direction of this script is quite different from our expectation, but please don't forget that it still has many outstanding points.

    That is the all comments on "THE LAST OF US PART II". The script can't satisfy everyone, and the experience of the game varies from person to person. I have made a relatively objective review on this as far as possible. Of course, this only represents my personal opinion. If there are different opinions, please keep them and understand it.    … Expand

    What a beautiful and transformative game. I don't thing I've ever seen such a massive amount of love and passion poured into a triple-a game before.

    El juego esta muy bien, si acaso el final fue lo que realmente no me gusto lo suficiente y de cualquier modo es recomendable por el gameplay.

    Jogo sensacional. Gráficos belíssimos, gameplay impressionante e uma história emocionante e cheia de reviravoltas que teve a façanha de separar o joio do trigo entre os gamers. Deixo minha crítica a esse site que não tem uma forma de permitir que só quem teve a experiência de jogar possa dar uma nota

    Игроки перестали воспринимать авторские произведения в роли наблюдателя. Конечно каждый школьник - мастер сценарного искусства и знает как действительно было бы лучше. Без спойлеров - это отличная, эмоциональная игра.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 es un viaje personal que muestra lo más cruento del ser humano, que tan aborrecibles podemos llegar a ser cuando nos quitan algo que más amamos, y no solo lo vemos una vez si no que dos veces, ya que vemos tanto la muerte de Joel como el padre de Abby y logramos darnos cuenta de que en ese universo post apocalíptico cualquiera puede ser presa del depredador de turno, cualquiera puede caer por actos del pasado o simplemente puedes morir por estar en el lugar incorrecto en el momento incorrecto.
    Personalmente no soy una persona que disfruta ir asesinando a otros de forma deliberada, al cabo de las 7 o 10 horas de juego sentía tanta sed de venganza como Ellie de vengar a Joel, iba enemigo tras enemigo queriendo asesinarles y poder obtener prontamente mi sed de venganza saciada, pero una vez entendí el motivo de por qué Joel había muerto, caí en la retrospectiva de todos los actos y errores que cometió en el primer juego, todo por salvar a Ellie, todo por no perder a una segunda hija, en ese entonces, hace 7 años atrás, lo vi como algo justificado, pero ¿Qué culpa tuvo aquel doctor y enfermeras en ese quirófano de hospital?. Ninguna, solo les tocó estar en el momento equivocado y cruzarse con la persona incorrecta.
    Una vez acercado al final, tal como Ellie, comprendí que luego de haber matado a docenas de personas, había conducido a una muchacha a ser una persona horrible por haberle quitado la vida a gente que se cruzó en mi camino, que tal como a ella, Joel no volvería porque matara a Abby, que yo como jugador no me sentiría mejor por quitarle la vida a alguien que solo obtuvo su venganza y además perdonó la vida de Ellie en dos ocaciones y que ahora, tal como Joel hizo con ella, Abby solo quería proteger a un niño que no tuvo la culpa de nacer en aquel tiempo y verse envuelto en medio de guerras de facciones y un mundo destruido, a Abby, tal como Joel, solo le importaba el bienestar de este nuevo ser y seguir con vida, le permitiría proteger de el, es por eso que en aquella escena de la playa, sentí el remordimiento de Ellie, como también sentí la necesidad de Abby de permanecer viva para este pequeño, tal como sentí la necesidad de Joel de permanecer vivo y cuidar de Ellie.
    Finalmente, sentí un alivio en el pecho cuando Ellie, a través de su memoria, digamos que "perdonó y "entendió" a Joel y por qué no dejo que muriera, ya que, a través de los flashbacks de ella y Joel, sentí pena por ver esa relación quebrada de padre e hija que alcanzaron a tener pero nunca desarrollar.

    El juego en su totalidad es hermoso, enorme, lleno de pequeños y grandes detalles que lo hacen parecer único y que a su vez, elevan la vara para los próximos años y que sólo pocas compañías lograrán alcanzar.
    Gráficamente, explota el potencial de la Playstation 4 y la hace ver como una gran máquina. Cada detalle gráfico y visual del juego me dejaba cada vez más boquiabierto, la iluminación, el follaje, las partículas, las físicas y un largo etcétera.
    El problema con la historia, es que en muchas partes el realmente tedioso jugarlo, ya que hay partes del juego (cercanos a la mitad de la historia) en que se vuelve lento y repetitivo, lo cual me hacía pensar que era innecesario que algunas zonas y escenarios estaban ahí de sobra. Pudo perfectamente haberse contado la misma historia en menos cantidad de horas y es que Naughty Dog sufre del síndrome de Marvel, que "si no tienes acción cada 10 minutos, piensas que el espectador se aburrirá y lo terminará dejando".
    Técnicamente, las mecánicas vistas en 2013, más las nuevas añadidas, funcionan para este juego y para este mundo, pero a ratos parecieran quedarse cortas y en otros ratos, se vuelven repetitivas. En cuanto al mundo "semi abierto", habían zonas que era totalmente innecesario hacerlo tan grande, ya que no te ofrece ninguna recompensar por llegar a un extremo que no tendrá salida o simplemente un coleccionable que sirve solo para sacar un trofeo.
    The Last of Us 2 no es un mal juego, no es de un 3, 4 o 1 que he visto, tampoco es una obra maestra ni una historia revolucionaria para la industria, por lo que no es un juego de 10, es por ello que personalmente y en el conjunto de todos sus pros y contras, un 9 me parece adecuado (aunque le hubiese dado un 8.5).    … Expand

    One of the best games of 2020. It is strong, deep and very emotional. People rated it bad because it deals with sexuality of different characters in a very comprehendible and human way - something they can't do in real life, so of course they would hate the game.

    Sin spoiler, para mi fue un juegazo, se de que va, lo entiendo, es un juego que tienes que ver el punto de vista cada personaje, no es un juego que vaya a agradar a todo el mundo, pero a mi me encantó y también me gustó que no fuese un juego en plan para agradar, es

    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]
