    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is simply a masterpiece. I know so many people will attack the story, but this story is the only way to justify the Part II's launch. I liked the way this game shows how a life can be ephemeral. It's an apocalypse. There are no heroes or villains. We are all heroes of our own stories. I think this is the main message that Neil Druckmann wanna send to each one that plays this game.… Expand

    Todos sabíamos sobre un evento traumático, es algo que se nos viene mostrando desde los trailers, tenía que ser algo impactante, algo que te dejara un mal sabor en la boca y lo consiguieron. El hecho de que controláramos a un personaje nuevo jugable se me hizo un poco difícil tener una afinación con éste pero lo conseguí de alguna manera. El gameplay, para que decir, es perfecto, los enfrentamientos son demasiado buenos y te dejan enganchado.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So this game is good and defintely not the 0/10 fans are giving out of frustration which i understand, but its just not right and not objective constructive critisism. Everything under a 5/10 is just not fair. The graphics and environments are beautiful. Voice acting, cutscene and facial aninmations are great and are very high quality, ive nevers seen something like this in a video game. Gameplay even tho it was only very slightly improved since 2013 was also good and i had a lot of fun throughout the game (NPCs were kinda lacking tho). The ingame animation as well as the character models are also stunning, sound design and weather effects are equaly good.
    Story: The fact that the main characters are a lesbian and a masculine bodybuilder female dont change a single thing ( I think a hetero relationship might have been even more annoying), but sometimes i had the feeling that it was more about Ellies love life instead of her revenge and mainly at the beginning killed the serious atmosphere and took the spotlight of Ellies sorrow over Joels death. Which btw was very predictable imo (when it was first announced that it was about Ellies revenge my first guess was that Joel is killed by fireflies). The flashbacks and cutscenes are nice but they could have delivered this agenda otherwise without spitting in our faces after waiting 7 years and paying 70 dollars. It was written pretty badly with a lot of predictability, plot holes and poor character choices. Also trying to justify Abby killing Joel with her story didnt work (I stll wish Abby a very slow and painful death) and just stretched the game a lot which has pacing issues. Character development is weird (unnatural) to non existent. Having to fight Ellie and hit her was painful (not in a good way) and i couldnt take that part of the game serious. Dont forget about the unnecessary forgetable characters like Mel and the mexican guy (i even forgot his name). All in all storywise the sequel only damaged the franchise and its characters not even coming close to tlou 1. If u unlike me only bought tlou2 because of the very unsatisfying story i guess it only deserves a 3-5/10.    … Expand

    Last of Us Part 2 said trans rights!

    Honestly, all the incels giving this game bad reviews need to grow up. Y’all are just angry because not only do we have a strong female lead who is a member of the LGBT community, but we’ve got a second female lead who is a member of the CROSSFIT COMMUNITY. They can’t relate to a lesbian or drool over a woman that’s wider than a doorframe. So they stay mad. Any person that says the characters are unlikeable or aren’t dynamic clearly must have the personality of a lobster, and that’s a huge disservice to lobsters. The characters are all so diverse, real, and relatable. But you know, the liberal SJW agenda is coming for your games. Watch out. I love this game and everything about it and have not been able to think about anything else for 2 weeks straight. I’m emotionally distraught by how beautiful this game it.    … Expand

    While Joel did act to save someone he loved, he also doomed the human species to a continuing apocalypse, and the brutal consequences of that decision are rendered with exceeding credibility in this daring masterpiece.

    While many will never be able to forgive Abby for the actions she takes, this game's portrayal of her and the rest of it's characters as nothing more or less than human is worthy of respect.    … Expand

    A good story doesn't pander to its listeners -- it depicts something real and meaningful. Through all of the seemingly impossible twists and turns, every decision is justified and deeply rooted in the characters' experiences. This is the equivalent of classic literature. This is the hard truth that people need to experience. These are the lessons we need to learn. We need more games like this, but for now Naughty Dog has ventured into the deep unknown and delivered to us something that is, truly, one of a kind.    … Expand

    Music: 9/10 - Fantastic music, every moment was appropriately scored, and boy did it evoke some feelings
    Voice acting (not counted toward final score): 10/10 - Absolutely top notch. I was blown away by all performances in this regard. Well done, ND.
    Pacing: 6/10 - I was not happy with how brutally long some moments were, and it did feel unnecessary many times.
    Story: 8/10 - A believable tale about the consequences of Joel's actions and what PTSD can do to someone. Could have been better, but still great.

    Final score: 8.4/10 - an enjoyable game in almost every aspect.

    Because I believe in justice, to offset all the absoiutely ridiculous 0/10 scores, I will be scoring this a 10/10 here. There is no universe where this game is a 0/10, so we can confidently say those are all nonsense. However, there are arguments to be made that it is a 10/10, so I will once again say, my score is 8.4, but I am putting 10/10 here anyway.    … Expand

La jugabilidad y los gráficos no son la gran maravilla pero son descentes y cumplen su función el problema viene en el gameplay que en muchas ocasiones llega a ser tedioso y repetitivo en cuanto a la narrativa no es muy rescatable teniendo muchas incongruencias en el desarrollo de los personajes como el de Joel que paso de ser una persona que desconfiaba de todo el mundo a confíar en un grupo de desconocidos armados o Ellie que de un momento a otro olvida su venganza por el otro lado el juego también intenta que simpátices con el personaje de abby metiendo situaciones convenientes en donde por medio de un patético intento de lastima el juego intenta desesperadamente que llegues a sentir empatia por ella pero esto solo logra incomodar al jugador que solo espera que su tiempo con ella termine pronto, además tenemos personajes planos y unidimensionales como Dina que sólo está ahí para recordarte que es la novia de Ellie sumado a eso tenemos muerte patéticas como las de Joel o jesee en donde se excusan de ser realistas y crudos para tapar la pobre narrativa que este juego posee, por último el final es desastroso luego de que Ellie se pasara medio juego matando sin remordimiento todas las personas que se le pusieran en frente cuando esta a punto de culminar su venganza de un momento a otro cambia de parecer por medio de un maldito flash-back dando como resultado un final forzado e incongruente con las acciones de Ellie.

    I want to start with what I did enjoy from this game. The gameplay is similar in many aspects to the first game but it is definitely improved overall. Being able to go prone to hide in grass and jump down from a high platform to take down an enemy from below are great additions to stealth and combat. Animations look very smooth and it is satisfying to watch the brutal take downs. TheI want to start with what I did enjoy from this game.

Animations look very smooth and it is satisfying to watch the brutal take downs. The visuals in this game are absolutely beautiful and some of the best graphics on the PS4.

    However, these get overshadowed by the game's story. This game's story and characters are very poor. I simply did not care for many of the main characters in this game. The new characters that were introduced are uninteresting and characters brought back from the last game don't act like themselves. This game's story is far from perfect, with an intro that will leave a bad taste in your mouth for the rest of the game and an unsatisfying ending. During my playthrough I thought I was near the end of the game and I was ready for it to end only to find out I was just half way through the game.The halfway point of the game is what made me really lose interest, and I imagine many other people feel the same way.

    The game isn't the worst game ever made by any means, and i don't think it deserves a score of 0/10, but it's poor story and characters doesn't make it a masterpiece that deserves a 10/10. The game has fun combat and stealth mechanics along with stunning visuals, but a game that is very plot-driven needs to have a good plot. If you decide to buy this game I recommend playing for the gameplay and not the story.    … Expand

    For a game thats 90% story based this is tragic. The gameplay is outdated and a bit weird, but the same case could easily be made for the first game, which I hold in very high regard. Naugthy Dog had every opportunity to make this a masterpiece. Clunky gameplay and an unfinishable story, this game is too hard to enjoy.

    It literally picks up the witness from the first part and transforms it into a journey of revenge that few games, if not any, have managed to do in this way. Really and since they start playing with the second character, you realize your actions and the consequences of what he has done. Apart from the plot it has, the game is spectacular, and the soundtrack of Gustavo Santaolalla is sublime. It has made my hair stand on end several times and I feel like he played a real gem.    … Expand

Might've been good on its own merits, but to call this a Last of Us game, you carry a certain weight with that name, and the ideas of this revenge tale just don't land. I felt nothing for these characters, and barely even got to know them. A far cry from the well written story of the first game. I feel for anybody that pre-ordered this expecting one thing and being blindsided by the devs need to "subvert player expectations". Combat can be fun and designs are beautiful, but thats not enough to warrant people to play this. Ultimately its a story narrative, and it fails in that regard to being interesting, or even furthering the characterization of these characters.
    My low score is reflective of the deceit I felt from the trailers, I never looked at the leaks cause I trusted naughtdog to deliver. What they gave me was half a story, no multiplayer, and death of great & new characters for shock value that neither carries the story or draws you. I hope to god they never make a sequel.

I felt like they really went with a messy story on this one. That was until I sat back and let it marinate. The more and more I thought of it, the more I realized why Neil and company had made this game so polarizing. The same reason why Ellie couldn’t let go of her want for revenge, we couldn’t let go of the hurt we experienced when Joel died. Sure we feel hatred for Abby, that was exactly the point. But if you are willing to unconditionally love the game for what it is and not what you wanted it to be, you can totally enjoy and understand a game. Troy Baker made this point about the game in an interview and it really opened my eyes on why this really is a masterpiece. Not everyone is willing to believe that, in fact I had some struggles with it too but it all depends on how long you want to let go of what could’ve been and not what is. At the end of the day, this game is what it is and I’m sure everyone who’s played it from start to finish would agree that when it shines, it **** shines. Once you go back to the first game and realize how different and yet how similar a game it is to it’s sequel, you notice that Naughty Dog was never planning to do anything like it again. Sequels need to do something new and the fact that it’s getting hate, means that it’s really doing it’s job, other than the fact that the leaks made some people stubborn. Ultimately, I now understand why critics say this is a masterpiece, even though the word has been overused. Take your time with it because it is the game of the year, no question, and it will be a polarizing release in Naughty Dog’s catalog for years to come. Don’t listen to those who tell you how you should feel about the game. **** them. Play it for yourself and feel about it what you will. Peace.… Expand

    I loved the first game and couldn't wait to continue with Joel and Ellie as their relationship grew deeper and so obviously was really looking forward to playing part 2. When I started the game and realised that these characters would be rarely seen together of course I was upset. What some people who criticize the game don't seem to understand is that is the point and while I understand that people don't really want to be upset that doesn't mean that this game is bad. Art can still be good without making you feel good. Though that's not to say that the game never makes you feel good, there are plenty of likeable characters and happy scenes in the game and the banter between the characters while you explore is entertaining. The game makes you feel bad to very effectively present a message about the cycle of violence and how violence is pointless and in the end achieves nothing which is highlighted every well by some of the criticisms about the ending of the game which highlights this well. While I'm on the topic of the ending, I have a few issues with that but there more just thoughts rather than solid criticism as I'm not sure if I think the ending was the best it could be although it definitely wasn't bad. I feel like it was what I wanted to happen but not what the character would have done. This is because of the very clever way that the game uses character swapping to present you with the 'villains' point of view which gives you an understanding of both sides whereas the characters only understand their own side. This is another part that got heavily criticised mainly due to the leaks so people decided they didn't like it without the nesacery context. At first I felt the same, I thought I could never like that character and I was right, whilst some people did like them in the end personally I didn't but that doesn't matter cause I understood them which is all that I needed to engage in the story the way naughty dog intended. Although whilst I loved the story I can understand why some people didn't like it as it tries to make you feel both guilty for what you've done and sad about what has happened you could argue that they went a little bit to far but personally I thought is was great. I mentioned at the start how Joel and Ellie's relationship doesn't take centre stage but this was not abandoned and still is important in the story and the scenes that do keep this going are great. Whilst dissapointed at first by this change in direction in the end I was glad to get this rather than more of the same.

    The gameplay is fun and looks good. It all works smoothly. While it may not develop much the context as well as the upgrades and different environments are enough to make it feel fresh. The big spaces where the combat takes place allow for a surprising amount of freedom as to how how to tackle the scenario for such a linear game which is definitely appreciated. The combat is a mixture of tense stealth which can suddenly all go wrong and it now changes to a frantic battle for survival and I enjoyed the combat till the end. Exploration doesn't evolve but your thinking about the story or the interesting notes you can find or the dialogue between characters to keep you occupied and the environments are interesting. The graphics are obviously amazing as is to be expected from naughty dog as is the voice acting and animation both in and out of cutscences. The soundtrack is also brilliant, one of the best in video games, it definitely plays a big role in making sure the emotional beats hit in the most powerful way they can.

    SUMMARY Positives:
    A great story (that goes in a differnt direction to part 1 without abandoning what was good about the first game as a great sequel should) that is brilliantly and creatively told, that provokes both strong emotion and meaningful thoughts about violence and if it can ever achieve anything. Although it makes you feel negative emotions quite alot and doesn't go the way that is expected after the first game which could drive some players away, if approached with an open mind most people should really love this story.

    Graphics, animation, voice acting and sound track are all top quality and the gameplay is fun whilst also developing the characters, messages, story and the world in a brilliant way and I never got bored of it.

    Negatives:
    The game tries very hard to make you feel guilty, sad, uncomfortable and makes you question yourself quite alot. This tendency to make the player feel bad can understandably drive off some players and you could argue that they went a bit to far although I personally thought it was genius.

    Overall this brilliant, creative and thought provoking story woven seamlessly with the exploration and exciting combat makes an experience that while not for everyone, is definitely a must play    … Expand

There are lots of pro's, and just as many con's. Stunning visuals, incredible acting, massive world building, emotional audio; the game is extremely well-made mechanically and graphically and deserves commendation on these fronts. The story is where everything becomes precarious, however. It is obviously trying to test the player's expectations and adaptability while subverting expectations, but in my opinion it simply oversteps the boundary between artful subversion and sabotaging the story's momentum and, ultimately, appeal. The core of games is the element of fun: it is what drives people to play the game. A video game can be incredibly deep and tell a story unlike any other while also remaining fun and engaging. That is precisely what the first Last of Us did. However, with Part II, "fun" isn't exactly found in plenty here. Instead, after all is said and done, I feel that the player is left with a feeling of emptiness and disappointment. It's not a sobering, eye-opening-realization sort of emotion that can be commendable like in other titles, but rather one of almost irriation and a longing for the game they hoped to play after over half a decade of waiting. Some elements are certainly "fun" and inspire a sense of adventure and creativity, such as interacting with the beautfiul environments found throughout the world or deciphering the best method of stealthing through a level, but anything to do with the story at hand is simply disappointing and unintersting for long stretches of time.

    The game deserves praise for its sheer scale and graphical fidelity, as well as its attention to detail and narrative craftsmanship (no-one denies the amount of time and attention put into that). But in the end, the feelings of "fun" and satisfaction so important to successful titles is scarce. The Last of Us Part II is better than many are giving it credit for, but is also a far-cry from its masterpiece of a predecessor, leaving many who endured the campaign feeling simply thieved of the narrative they believed should've been in place.    … Expand

The trailer made it look like Ellie and Joel would play through the game together, when that doesn’t happen obviously. I understand why Joel was killed I wasn’t expecting it so soon though. I think everyone expected Joel’s death. I absolutely despised having to play as Abby, Joel’s murder. Like honestly, if they expected anyone to see Abby as a human they were fooling themselves from the start. I hated playing as Abby the entire time, to the point that I was hurrying through it because this story isn’t supposed to be hers. In my opinion the story was rushed and there was way to many movie scenes, I didn’t really feel connected to the story. The ending was **** and left on a cliffhanger so that if they feel like making a third game they can. Personally I won’t waste my money or time on a 3rd game. I’m upset that this game didn’t meet the hype for me. This game disrespected Joel’s character and didn’t even give us the closure for it. It honestly just rubbed salt in the wound by making us play as Abby for 10 hours of the game and then on top of that, having to fight Ellie as Abby as well.… Expand

While Ellie continues to fall into the spiral of hate and revenge. You can see how the personalities change due to the struggles and how they express themselves verbally.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wasn't exactly what we wanted story wise.. I take one point away because of the story and how it was delivered. It was all over the place. It all made sense in a way.. But at the same time it felt forced and lazy. Another point away because I felt like it was pushing political views - which is ignorant and not necessary in a video game.. They really made a point with the - your decision to keep a baby. Your decision to be a gender. Women are better than men. A pregnant woman is stronger than a non pregnant woman. Lesbians are great. Angry / almost forced or drunken sex on a boat is cool. On and on...

    It is a true masterpiece when it comes to the gameplay. That was amazing. Visuals. AI actions. Environments. Mechanics. It was so huge and immersive.. The gameplay was awesome and that can not be denied. One thing that I didn't find impressive was how, all the human enemies looked the same... They all looked like an asian woman in a way. Only a few key characters were different. Also every time someone died they yelled out a basic name like Tom, Dave, Anne, John.. Like every single time... Should have been more RNG, sometimes not saying a name but "oh god" or anything other than a basic name... After the 30th time it breaks that immersion. I am sad my son will not be able to play this game. At least for a long time.. When he was 5 he was beating Part One on grounded mode. It was a fun experience, both of us taking turns beating the game, chasing the achievements.. We played through part one so many times over the years and then waited for years on part 2.. As soon as Joel got hit, he started to cry and left.. He came back later on to see how it was going.. As soon as he seen I had to play as Abby, he said dad this game sucks you can play it and we will just play the first one together.. A child, innocent minded to political views, can understand why this game has so much hate on it.. That should say a lot..

    We had no relationship with Abby.. If they truly wanted to do the story that way, they could have delivered it differently and maybe it would have worked.. Joel killed differently and maybe a choice in the end to kill or spare Abby would have been great..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Highly disappointing game. Gameplay has not changed since part one - if you did not like it, you won't like it here either. The best qualities are the graphics and the level design, yet it's hard to enjoy them when faced with stale gameplay, boring puzzles and (most of all) the abysmal story. The second part of the game is painful to play. The developers tried really hard to make you like Abby, but everything about her story arc is uninteresting and forgettable. Her decisions make little sense, as do those of her friends.
    To make it short - the story is so bad that I barely made myself finish the game. I played worse games, and the score TLOU2 deserves is about 5 or 6. But seeing the game journalists outright lie about this game giving it a perfect 100, I feel justified to give it a 2 (+1 for the graphics and +1 for the level design) to counter the bots and raving fanboys who keep giving it straight 10s.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 4 because the story line was so bad. Being forced to play Abby half the game made the play threw not fun at all. They killed off a beloved character Joel so early. When I got this game i was wanting to see the story of him and Ellie. I wanted to play as Joel. The flash backs made the game that much more sad. And also made me not want to play the game. I mean I waited 7 years. They advertised the game one way and gave us something compleatly different. The sad part about this all is because people are having these issues we have been called bigots and sexiest by the creators. So that really is a slap in the face for people like me who loved and supported them with the first game. I loved Ellie too in the first game because they did bring in a gay character so, that was awesome. She was witty and loveable. And her and Joel's relationship growing in that daughter and father dual was amazing. But this Ellie in the last of us 2 is nothing at all like the same from the first game.. I get people change in 4 years.. But it almost seems like the women rights agenda was so heavily shoved into this game. It had me rolling my eyes, because the amount of put down and demonizing of male roles in this game, to get their point across was disgusting. To me that's just as bad as shaming women. Just because they are men doesnt mean it doesn't count. Just like with Joel and Tommy they made them compleatly unlike their characters from the first game. Which put Joel in the situation that got him killed. It doesnt make any since. To me it had to have a good story. And this was far from anything close to the first. Plus you don't even get revenge. You go threw the whole game for literally nothing. Ellie gets nothing. A huge part of me just didn't care about it anymore because I hated the story line that much. The first 2 hours reminded me of the last of us. I waited 7 years for 2 hours. I paid 60+ for this game and played it and pretty much hated like 97 percent of the time. Its just disappointing. I want to give it lower then a 4. But the graphics were amazing. They did a amazing job on that. The A.I. was a little weired alot of the time but I saw some improvement. Don't like the fact their is alot of dog killing. In most situations unavoidable. But that's whatever, it wasnt a make it or break it for me like the storyline was. But i can see how it could be for some. I just wish it was different.100% would not play again. After all this craziness.. I really don't trust naughty dog and wont for future content.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow... I feel like there is so much to unpack in this game. I truly did enjoy my time playing this game. The art design was fantastic, the scale of the world was amazing, and to me overall the story was heart wrenching and at times hard to watch. I felt like the combat was pretty smooth and loved the amount of customization there was in the game compared to the first game.

    I went into this game with no spoilers and had no clue what was going to happen. This being said, the moment Joel dies in the story I was in shock. But at the same flip of the coin I knew that Joel had to die. His story was told in the first game. I was upset he died and was angry but knowing how I felt in the first game, all emotions run high. I wanted to go on the revenge journey with Ellie. During this time the game felt a little slow to me, but I don’t say that as a bad thing. What I love most about this game is it’s ability to take a moment to breath and reflect. It’s these nice moments that really let me get to know the characters. The game slowly starts to pick up momentum getting more gruesome and intense. I found myself struggling with the characters about their morality and didn’t agree with the choices being made. I love how it was building up until Abby finds Ellie.

    This is when I got a little upset. For the next 10 hours or so I had to play as Abby. I didn’t care about her character, however seeing her perspective opened my eyes a bit more and over time I enjoyed her character. I still didn’t agree with what she did and I don’t think by any stretch she could redeem herself but I at least liked to see her right her wrongs and try to become a better person after her mistakes. Abby’s story arch over time became fun but it’s placement in the game just felt wrong. You get all this momentum to then slow down again. I think I would have preferred a more cat and mouse approach over the 10hrs of this character over backtracking. The flashbacks for me were fine and placed in the game well, it was just The pacing of Abby and Ellie’s journey. Having the intensity go to a slow crawl again felt off to me. At the end of the game when you don’t kill Abby I felt so happy. When I saw Abby all strung up and weak I felt like justice had been served for her actions. I was also happy that Ellie realized that she had lost herself in all of this and slowly began to have some sense of morality in the end even though it cost her everything. Overall from the captivating graphics, fun gameplay, and good story, to the few little bugs in the game that I encountered and the pacing of the story I give this game an 8/10. If the pacing was done a bit differently I could easily give this game a 9/10.    … Expand

    The Bad
    Joels death the way it went down had he died to protect Ellie his death would of mean something. Hes a bad ass in the first one now naughty dog makes Joel look like a ****
    2nd Abby. The one who kills Joel we are forced to play ast he story and the expendable characters. Mel Owen Yara Danny and Jesse Abby and Ellie are both fighting to avenge loss. Abby her dad Ellie Joel.
    Playing as Abby after she kills Joel. What you6 thinking.
    Abby knows Ellie and tells her dad to kill Ellie for humanity's sake.
    Killing dogs and pregnant women. The storyis a tick for tack revenge garbage. Story filled with flashback fluff. Could of been 10 hours shorter At the end after killing all these people Ellie then realises its wrong the point of this game is there is no point.
    Abby and Ellie are both blinded by revenge that everyone's a causality.
    Ellies fighting for Joel Abby her dad.
    At the end she let Abby leave. So you come all that way for nothing to let Abby go. Ellie loses her fingers family and ability to play the guitar. Left with nothing but a guitar Joel gave her that she can't play.
    Also the wlf seraphites and rattlers were poorly introduced into rhe story just like rhe expendable characters that no one cares about.
    If naughty dog makes a LOUS 3 the only thing that would make sence is Abby and Ellie team up to get Ellie to the fireflies so she can sacrifice herself for all mankind. Revenge cost you everything.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. yo empese a jugar videojuegos con the last of us parte 1y se volvio mi videojuego favorito. 6 años creo que pasaron, di go la verdad cuando vi el primer trailer de ellie cantando, yo llore, de felicidad, cuando salio el the last of us part 2 cuando lo compre y vi la muerte de joel, llore por ellie pero tambien a mi me dolio porque como dijo joel, cruzas medio pais con alguien esa persona se vuelve familia. me enfade con nauthydog y con migo. obtuve un gran odio fuel la primera vez que quise golpear y matar a una mujer. los personajes me gustaron jessy principalmente, pero como an de saber his end. hay mi odio hacia abby crecio enormemente. Cuando supe porque habia matado a joel lo entendi no solo por su dolor sino porque senti como si yo lo hubiera asesinado. Cuando abby llega al teatro, yo estava mal triste, when abby kill tommy. Llore de odio y culpa. cuándo veo lo que es como el final llore porque me senti vacio. me senti vacio porque no pude vengarme. de protnto veo tommy sonreí, lk que timmy le dijo a ellie senti como si yo se lo ubiera dicho, porque en verdad crei que ellie ya no queria vengar a joel. el final no fue si dulce ni agrio fue agridulce, yo cuando vi a abby en el agua mientras ellie la estaba ahogando me decia tienes que parar, tenia que para porque ellie ya obtuvo su vengansa ella obtubo su vengansa porque abby no tiene nada sus amigos so smante su grupo todos murieron o la matan al verla. mi opinion fianl del juego es que no se merece para nada las puntuaciones que le dieron la historia no es tan buena como el primero, solo se que el juego me cambio y me hiso mejor persona. No le hagan caso a los heaters porque para jugar este juego tienes que tener al menos 2 neuronas de frente y la capacidad de perdonar. Ota cosa que me gusto es que es muy realista solo con venganza atraes mas muerte y mas venganza que hubiera pasado si ellie asesinaba a abby alli el chico se repetiria lo mismo todo denuevo sin duda el mejor juego del año . Otra cosa los que dicen que este juego es malo porque no lo es tengo dos rasones por la que son asi y sus padres son primos o hermanos dejando las bromas al lado solo los que lo juagron jugar no ver en youtibe ni que otro te diga tuenes que jugarlo solo ellos tienen el derecho o lpiniones validas en estas paginas porque por ejemplo amo hod of war pero no lo jugue y digo que no sirve porque si bueno mejor paro de hablar de esas personas que lla llevó 2442 de lestras y lla me estan entrando ganas de volver a jugar y de vomitar para los que hablan mal sin sentido del juego aunque entiendo su odio perobdecir que es una mierda solo porque si, y tambien me molestan los que empesaron a jugar the last of us hace un mes y dan opiniones como si llevaran 7 años con esta gran historia… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER ALERT! This is the best game that I have ever played. No other piece of media has made such a deep emotional impact on me. The storytelling was masterful; captivating and immersive the entire way through. Yes, it was really emotionally painful, but that's what I expected and wanted. Actually, it far surpassed expectations. I'm sure like many others, from the trailers and teasers that came out before the game, I had guessed that Dina was going to be the one who was murdered by some group, and the game was going to be Ellie and Joel going on a revenge mission together. I was taken by complete surprise that it turned out to be Joel who was murdered. Big, huge, humble props to the developers for pulling that off. I am a young woman with a father that reminds me of Joel, so playing Ellie and watching his death hit me really hard. Having so much emotional investment in Joel made Ellie's anger over his murder so much more compelling. Then they devoted so much time to Abby's side, and to her character, that I empathized with her side of the story as well. As much as we love Joel, he did stop the development of a vaccine that could have saved so many lives and could have turned the apocalypse around. On top of that, he murdered Abby's father (and a lot of other people) to do it. There's so much pain in this story, as there should be.

    I also really appreciated the inclusion and diversity of the cast. Both main characters were badass women, and they were badass in their own ways. Thank you for giving us Abby's biceps (I hope she is able to get them back someday). My one and only complaint is that I wish they would have called out Owen more for being such a piece of ****

    The graphics, audio, and gameplay were all astounding. There was so much detail in every level and the landscape felt very real. The audio amplified the emotions at every point. The enemies were terrifying. My boyfriend pointed out that making the flashlight invisible to zombies made the dark and scary parts all the better, because it could be creepy without taking away the players' ability to see.

    Amazing game all around.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gave it a positive review simply cuz the art, gameplay, level design, etc, anything but writing team. And it's not like I hate the story that much but just a mix feeling.

    For me, it's a pretty convincing story, like Joel's death and stuff. But I really don't give a **** about Abby's perspective, that really gave me a hard time to enjoy the game, and that's almost half of the game. But still, like I said, the gameplay is still very good throughout the whole game, so I can still kinda enjoy the game while playing as Abby.

    The other thing is, I wish they gave us choices. After Abby's fight, at the farm. I really don't want Ellie to pursue revenge anymore, and if I do, I wanna kill her. Maybe not torture her, but at least end this. And the game just go the opposite way both time for me. Also, in the end, there's nothing left for Ellie. For a character that I like so much, it's kinda hard to take in. In fact, the rest of that day, I don't feel like doing anything.    … Expand

    Now the story. Games like this are almost completely dependent on the story. If it is good, we can forgive other shortfalls. If it is bad, it ruins the game. This story is bad, and I mean REALLY bad. The developers even tells us "this game is not supposed to be fun". Well if that was the goal, they nailed it! There is nothing redeeming about this second installment of The Last of Us, and I can only hope that they do not make another...ever...

    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...
