    Un juego con un trabajo en calidad de producción altísimo, el juego se ve precioso y es impresionante como los personajes interactúan y reaccionan al mundo y a li que va pasando de firma tan natural,buena historia apasionante y despiadada, que puede que te guste o no la dirección que toma, pero de qué es entrañable lo es

    The game is really good. The gameplay, graphics, character development, etc. are great. The story may take some risks, but it's still great. Many people hate that it captures a different theme than the previous game, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. Overall, I think Naughty Dog did a great job of making players invested in the story

Excellent character models, immersive environments, tons of small details thrown in everywhere to make each area feel unique. The digital acting is amazing, as well, and all the characters seem to move very realistically both in game and in cutscenes. The execution animations are brutally realistic, with flesh handing from faces and gore spattering in every direction, after a close range head shot. Arms being shredded to pieces, with ragged pieces clinging to the split bone from a shotgun blast. Blood pouring in fountains from a neck wound made by a switchblade thrust aggressively into the jugular. Not recommended for the weak of heart, but, absolutely high quality for the themes the game was going for.
    Sound & Music- Again, excellent. The voice acting is movie par, making the characters truly pop to life in every instance. Enemy sound design is well done, as well. Hearing the stacatto growl of a Clicker from just out of your view, echoing softly through an enclosed space makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The whistles of the Scars growing ever closer and more frantic as you take them out one by one adds a real depth to even the most basic of enemies. The sounds of melee weapons bashing against skulls, knives piercing flesh, and enemies gurgling on their own blood as they fall to the ground, enemies crying out for their friends or begging for their own lives as they crawl away injured, even dogs whimpering sadly when they discover the body of their fallen masters, are so well done, its easy to cringe when it all comes together. Environmetally, they really pull you in. Rain falling on different section of a car or different surfaces, sounds different, and exactly how you'd imagine.
    Gameplay- There are many improvements from the first title. Namely, better enemy AI, the ability to go prone, more environmental options (i.e. smashing windows to draw attention or create new routes) and more open areas to explore and devise combat strategies within. One complaint is that certain sections drag on a bit longer than they should, and there are some underwhelming Infected encounters sprinkled throughout, but, as a whole, very well done.
    Story- This will obviously be the most divisive section. As mentioned before, the digital and voice acting is excellent and serves the characters well. The overall story did draw together very well for me, with one particular section mid-way feeling very abrupt, initially, but serving more of a purpose to the overall story by the end. Your mileage may vary, depending on expectations going in, or what sort of stories you generally enjoy. Its decently long for a story based game (25-30 hours), and does tend to feel as if certain sections drag on a bit (see gameplay section), but, by the end it felt very much worthwhile. There are points where it felt as if they may have tried to include too much in the game, but, as a stand alone title, the story is head and shoulders above many other titles. Much like the first, the stand out elements are character moments spread throughout and moral quandaries. My score actually improved a bit after beating the game, and having some time to re-examine and think about certain elements of it. There will be differing ideas on the game logic, plot choices, presentation, or pacing of some certain situations, with no argument (positive or negative) really having 100% accuracy, unless you play it for yourself. I personally found many of the complaints presented for the story to be present in many other very well received titles, the first game included. The fact that this particular section will be either the strongest or weakest element of the game for most shows just how truly divisive the story is, and only proves that personal experience of it overrides hearsay. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a shot, and deciding for yourself. Unfortunately, review bombing and media controversy has skewed the scores fairly drastically (both positive and negative), so an overall consensus will be difficult to find. My final rating falls somewhere between and 8-9/10, with my guess being an average users experience to fall somewhere between a 6-9/10 rating, depending on story preference, No matter your opinion on story, the overall quality of every other element of the game is above and beyond what you could expect from modern titles, so I'd expect nothing less than that.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Reading through the user reviews here makes me more depressed than the grim, post apocalyptic world of TLoU series. Seriously, you guys made it seem like the story is SO disgustingly bad written, that I almost haven’t bought the game. I’m glad I gave it a shot after all. Now, we all know the game is visually stunning, the acting is incredible and the gameplay, while loved by some folks, has never been in the spotlight. So I’m just gonna focus on the story, cause this part’s been getting so much sh*t and I don’t think it deserves it. Part II is a commentary on what Joel did in the first game. Joel decided to sacrifice humanity’s future in exchange for his own comfort and paternal instincts. His relationship with Ellie was absolutely unique, which made me go “HELL YES, LET’S SAVE HER” when I played the original TLoU, but let’s face it - morally it was very questionable. Part II takes Joel’s actions and shows consequences in a way that made me devastated, but deep down I felt Joel got what he deserved. I think killing Joel off within the first hours was brutal, but fully justifiable.
    The one thing that was bugging me throughout the game was Ellie - why is she so blinded with revenge, why is she willing to sacrifice literally everything she has just to avenge Joel. As the game moves forward, we find out about her complicated relations with Joel once she realized what he did in Salt Lake City. I felt for Joel for the way Ellie rejected him every time they were on screen in Part II. I think Ellie’s guilt for the way she treated him was the main driver of the events in Seattle. Again, story is intense, but fully justifiable.
    Then there’s Abby. This is where most critique hits hard, and I understand why, yet disagree. The game forces you to play as the character that you utterly hate. Yes, at first it was a little off (kinda annoying with having to rebuild all gameplay skills all over), but shortly Abby turned out to be a truly compelling character that I really cared for. It made me consider that mindless killing from another perspective - not just the perspective of “the bad guys” because Abby’s journey goes beyond group divisions. By the time Ellie got to her on that beach I was thinking to myself “NOO, JUST FORGIVE HER, GO BACK TO THE FARM TOGETHER”. That’s how Abby and Lev grew on me. All in all I think that this “loads of plot holes” and “unlikeable characters” nonsense is just fanboys getting angry, because they didn’t want their original character to be brought to justice, and couldn’t stand a more granular approach to story telling.
    Another thing people disliked was the fact, that most of the story took place in one city. Personally, I think the game really benefited from it, you could really get the grim vibe of the city, feel the topography of post-apo Seattle and soak into the bigger-than-life conflict between two massive groups. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved the journey in TLoU, but would I like to see it again in Part II? Probably not.
    My main problem with the game was pacing - at times I felt overwhelmed with the amount of action, horror and tragedy, it’s like the game wouldn’t stop jump-scaring me. For instance, just before meeting scars for the first time, Ellie gets stuck in a building filled with Stalkers and Clickers. This is a very tense, creepy and long sequence - a lot of zombies, no lights, few resources to pick up. Then she finally breaks out, falls into the river and lands in the sewers. “WOW, THAT WAS INTENSE” I thought, and started looking for new resources, just to be freaking jump-scared by a wall clicker 2 minutes later. And these moments were just too frequent, with not enough “giraffe moments”.
    But all in all, I get what creators wanted to achieve - a much darker tone than the original game. And you made it, it’s just not something I’d like to go through again.
    To sum up - I liked the story. I feel like it’s compelling and a lot of criticism is just anger coming from people who expected Joel to live happily ever after, or those who couldn’t stand Ellie becoming sort of the villain.    … Expand

I understand why people are upset but, it’s just a game, and although it’s not the story I wanted, I still loved it and thought it was great. A lot of people who haven’t played the game seem to be against it due to the supposed PC stuff in the game which I didn’t see much of, there was tiny bits of it in the game. Also, Abby is not trans! If that’s the sole reason on hating the game then you need a reality check, women can be muscular too.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally it became one of my favorite games.
    I love that you saw both sides of the story and made you realise (more) that there’s no good or bad. It’s all about perspective.
    Of course I don’t LOVE Abby but I understand her. She made some **** up decisions but so did ellie. I love how the game showed their way of dealing with loss and anger etc and how at the end the stoped that circle of revenge and how they both Abby and Ellie grew from that.
    Of course it’s not that much of a happy game as expected and there’s not really a “happy ending” but it’s close to realistic which I kinda loved. The only thing I didn’t like is the fact that we played for Abby for that long and the part where we had to fight Ellie as Abby (I liked that part but hated that I had to hurt Ellie it was pretty intense..) I if I kinda liked that though but yeah overall if you really think this game and see it the way the writers and producers wanted to you will enjoy it as much as I did probably. But either way it’s worth giving it a shot but actually finish the game and not leave it to actually understand the point of the game.    … Expand

    The applaud the writers and creators taking the path that they did with the storyline. No other games or publisher would take such risk with the characters so beloved in the 1st game. Sure, at the end they player will feel emotionally drained. But I think it will open the story to a 3rd and final installment.

The emotional heights the game reached for me are higher than anything I've seen in gaming, but there are times when I was bored and what I was doing felt pointless. But the highs were so worth it in the end. The game was really damn depressing but it also had beautiful moments, and I think those moments were elevated by the contrasting dour elements of the game. Considering all the technical aspects of the game, it surpasses anything I've seen. Not much to be said other than that its a masterpiece in all production elements ranging from the animations teetering on the edge of a truck to Gustavo's score setting the mood during a cutscene. Gameplay became repetitive, but after replaying a bit more with different custom difficulties I found myself enjoying sections of the game just in my free time. My one critique is the same as everyone's, the Abby sections being a bit too long. I just wanted to get through as I never cared for the character as much as Ellie. I understood and empathized with Abby when she was given context but not enough to want to play 8-10 hours of her on what felt largely like sidequests. But when the game returns to Ellie's perspective, the game reached its high point.

    The themes are so many more than just revenge. The game personally hit me with thoughts about forgiveness, regret, moving on from things we can't change, but most of all, appreciating the good things we have, because they don't last forever. And when they do leave us, we just need to learn, believe in ourselves and bet that future days will be better.

    For me, the game was a 4 act structure, or at least was easy to talk about that way. There is Jackson Intro, Ellie Seattle, Abby Seattle, and the end. Each of these were so different I could rate them individually. Jackson was a 9 and could have been higher if it was longer, Ellie's Seattle was probably an 8 as it dragged on a bit, Abby's Seattle was a 7 because it basically had the same issues as Ellie's Seattle but with less emotional connection to the characters, and the ending being a strong 10. I think a 9 is a good rating based off of my experience.    … Expand

It shows a different side to Ellie and aren’t any real “good and bad guys”. I think Naughty Dog could have flowed the game a little better by maybe showing Joel killing Abbeys father before Abbey shows up in Jackson and kills him to make us feel more sympathy towards Abbey but instead they killed Joel first then told Abbey's story. After she kills Joel, we automatically hate her and the rest of the former fireflies that are there and no matter what there backstory was, we won’t forgive them.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game did exactly what it set out to do.
    I am not gonna sit here and talk about graphics and gameplay because that's not what TLOU has ever really been about. It's about really taking you to the limit emotionally, it makes you feel the characters Hate, anger, pain, depression as well as reasoning for each and all actions...
    I found myself in tears often in the game and in absolute aw at how this all was unfolding. Yes you play as the person who kills Joel and why?.... because Naughty Dogg builds this hate inside you at a level that you despise Abby and you want nothing more than to see her suffer... And then you play through her story and form a bond with her and the characters in her life...you form sympathy towards her and see the pain Joel caused when he murdered her father...and you realise the love you have for these characters, Joel and Ellie Stems purely from the fact that you share the same perspective as those characters( from the first game) and you forget that it's that exact perspective that blinds you from the ripple effects and consequences of their choices and actions...so when you play as Abby and realise Abbys perspective...it changes everything in the way you think and feel about all these characters and their stories... To Ellie Abby is the monster who took Joel away from her, To Joel the monsters are the people who tried to take Ellie away from him and to Abby Joel is the monster who took her father from her... That's excluding all the other character development in the game(each side losing more loved ones to this dark path) basically in my opinion what Naughty Dogg achieved here is to create a story and narrative so immersed and visceral that it completely goes over alot of people's heads...years from now, Mark my words this game will be hailed as one of the greatest ever made    … Expand

Hatred is an ugly, bitter thing. Revenge (as a conditional concept founded upon hatred) is an even more painful and destructive state of mind. For anyone who has experienced the depth of loss that the main characters in TLOU2 go through, you know this all too well. Sometimes we allow emotions to consume us, at times even to define us, and ultimately that is the narrative standpoint that this game requires of you. And by require, I mean you quite literally (in the game world) have to commit gruesome acts of violence in the name of survival, while in the pursuit of vengeance. But ultimately this isn’t violence for the sake of entertainment, shock value, or even cheap thrills.

    The violence you commit, and the violence you are equally subjected to exist in this world because of the choices that have been made, and because of the mindsets and experiences that have been brought to the table.

    If you have ever lost yourself in a downward spiral of increasingly worse decisions while holding on to a singularly reasonable motivation, this game will feel simultaneously unpleasant and relatable. If you have not, it will likely feel like a bit of insanity to be muddled through as quickly as possible. Either way, it’s brutal, because it has to be.

    This isn’t causal story-telling. This isn’t Paperboy on SNES. This isn’t even Westworld-level drama. This is pain; this is anguish; this is dedication and resolve; this is an interactive experience that makes you feel more authentically and deeply than is sometimes comfortable. That is to say it’s accurate, engaging, and honest; what more could one want or expect from such a thing?

    (Post Script) And for those people who care more about the sexual preferences of some of the characters depicted in the game than the deeper narrative aspects, you’re focusing on the wrong damn thing...    … Expand

Animations and cutscene transitions are probably the best I've ever seen in a game. The main point of games is to make you feel invested and that's what this game did, well at least to me. Although the plot can be summarized in one word, the story is the emotin that was shown durin the whole game, it's actually really close to the first game in that department, it is weaker that the first game but it has the same idea where the plot was search for fireflies buf story was Joels coping with loss of his daughter. I would have given this game an average score of 7 but there were some scenes that really binded this whole story together and made it wort to play, at least to me.… Expand

    Un gioco che sa prenderti a schiaffi in faccia. Un gioco che ti emoziona. Un gioco che fa male. Un gioco che o lo ami o lo odi, ma se lo odi non sei oggettivo con il lavoro incredibile che ci è stato fatto sopra. Narrazione incredibile, musica incredibile, animazioni perfette. Non è da 10 per alcuni piccoli dettagli ma in assoluto uno dei migliori giochi degli ultimi 10 anni.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm just writing this, because of all the negative feedback the game received from the players. I didn't read any reviews, because tbh I didn't care what critics would say. After playing part one I knew I wanted to play the game.
    Not to get spoiled or to get influenced I waited until I finished the game to check the bad reviews. Which I did.
    Regarding the violence: How can you be so angry regarding the violence in this game? Have you guys seen how people can go nuts, because of toilet paper?! This is a world where death is around every corner, constantly. In my opinion people would be way worse than shown in this game. Of course, it's violent, but I think it's realistic. Very realistic. I just can't get my head around how crazy people went for toilet paper when all the Corona stuff started.
    Story/Characters: After the first shot on Joel I thought, that wound can't heal, his leg will never be fine. But then, they killed Joel. They f* killed Joel, that character that I played through the first part, that was ME. And they let Ellie watch. F* you Naughty Dog. And then I fought with Ellie through all the bastards to get my revenge. And then, then Naughty Dog wants me to play Abby? Hell no. When the Abby part started I started rushing through, so I get to the point where I'm Ellie again, until I realized that it's a bigger part, so I started to play "normally" as I would with Ellie. And I started to connect to Abby. I hated that stupid man woman! I hated her so much, but yeah I connected, i started liking her. Yes, that b* killed Joel, she must die. But she grew on me. She had character, emotions, helped people. She was a good person, who killed one of the best characters I ever played. BUT Joel killed her dad. Of course, it was not okay to kill a child, even if you could create a cure. Idk, maybe some of you would have killed a kid for a cure. I guess that is not the point. I understand Joel, of course he saved "his" girl. Who wouldn't act like that. BUT Joel killed Abby's dad, who wouldn't revenge your fathers death? I bet it wouldn't matter to you what he was about to do, but nobody can "just" kill anyone from your family, right?! But that is the point of the game, that's what Naughty Dog did so good. "The others" aren't simply the "bad guys". It's so easy when it's like that. You're good, the others are bad. That's why it was such an emotional game. That's why I'm so torn apart. I hate this game so much (in a good way!). At the end I was not happy at all. I'm thinking so much about Abby and Ellie. Both didn't get a happy end, but at least both can live, and at least that's the good thing I got from the game. This is no "happy end" game. This is a f* "real life" game!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I managed not to hear any spoilers before starting the game, and that was a good thing to come in to the game with no knowledge of story. I think The story actually is the strongest part of the game. The game play is a bit repetitive after some hours , the encounters feels similar. Luckily you can approach the battles differently. Sometimes I went gun blazing and some times tried to sneak my way out. That gave it some variation but it felt like the game want you to kill all enemies to be able to search all areas. I guess it might have felt different on a higher difficulty (I played on moderate). The plot really takes you on a emotional rollercoaster. I didn’t mind the change of character when you played Abby. At first I was like I don’t care if she died, but as the story continues you get more attached to her and her retribution. The story of the world is much told by notes found and the scenery. You need to look though the world and find clues about what went down. This I think was particularly good when playing Ellie and the returning with Abby to se what went down. I really enjoyed the game, some tweaking regarding the repetitive gameplay would have been nice but overall the game succeeded with leaving the feeling of wanting more and to experience the world of TLOU again. I would definitive recommend a play through.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wouldn't normally review a game online because who in the hell cares, but hearing about death threats directed at Laura Bailey and seeing people give this 0/10 has prompted me to make a Metacritic account and even the scales a little bit. This game clearly and unequivocally sets a new benchmark for videogames in terms of story telling (yes, even more so than the first game), characterisation and voice acting. The environments are so lush, haunting and fully-realised that even the details have details (the aquarium and theatre particularly astounded me). Although the gameplay is not quite as perfect as it seems within the first half, it's certainly tight, fun, varied and nuanced. A clear 9/10, probably a 9.5 if I could.

    As for the controversy about the plot, the developers are clearly aware of the love people have for the original characters and they do not take Joel's death lightly. In fact, they are using the affection that we have built up by playing the first game to create an incredibly dramatic and epic story that examines violence and the effects it has on people. The characters are able to act so callously only by dehumanising each other, which we become party to. The game initially paints Abby as cruel and evil and we happily murder dozens of her friends after she brutally murders our beloved Joel. But then we see her side, the pain Joel indirectly inflicted on her and the terrible fact that he had the power to save humanity and chose Ellie instead. We understand Joel's actions and the impossible choice he made, but we start to see Abby's point of view and her humanity as well. We see how the WLF are just traumatised ex-soldiers surviving, telling themselves that the "Scars" are sub-human to justify their own violence too. Then later we see Abby confronted with the humanity present in this group also, through her relationship with Lev and Yara. There are of course true psychos in all the human groups, especially amongst the Rattlers it would seem, but Abby has to come to terms with the fact that she has slaughtered dozens of ordinary people who were just trying to survive like her.

    We humans clearly have a fascination with violence (I can't deny I had a lot of fun blowing people to kingdom come whilst playing this game) but in truth, we really don't have much of a stomach for the reality of it. As with any war, we're sold violence by being told that the nasty foreign man on the other end of the gun is worth less than us. When we're faced with the enemy's humanity, we see ourselves and then violence doesn't come half as easily. Some choose to acknowledge this and bear the horror instead of the cognitive dissonance, some continue to lie to themselves to feel ok, but we all respond in some way. The incredibly detailed and nuanced facial animations in this game, and the fact that you literally embody both sides of the fight, conveys the emotions brought about by the inner conflict that violence creates more powerfully than any movie with the same subject matter that I can think of. It's truly next level stuff.

    So to those who are giving this game 0 out of 10, grow up and learn to appreciate true craft. If you want the first game, play the first game. If you want a boring rehash, play Call of Duty 58. If you're upset that Ellie's in love with a woman and there's an Asian trans character, snap out of it and realise that only seems strange to you because 99.9% of movies, TV shows and games have featured straight white people exclusively since time immemorial. The lack of self-awareness of people who think these elements are shoe horned in to be "woke" staggers me. And hey, there's still plenty of people in the game just like you to make you feel all special again!

    Finally, to the people sending death threats to the voice actor (and even the face and body double!) of Abby, words cannot express how much of a **** you really are. To those lowlifes I somewhat ironically say "May your survival be short and your death be protracted." (Sorry, just doing a little bit of dehumanising of my own to justify my violent words there).

    Anyway, it was an honour to play this game, I suggest you do too.    … Expand

    Графика и оптимизация - 10.
    Геймплей координально не поменялся по сравнению с первой частью, сама суть осталась такой же. Если рассматривать в купе с дизайном локаций, то нужно отметить возможность ложиться, на локациях присутствует трава, можно залезать под грузовики, что заметно увеличивает возможности геймплея, добавлены маленькие ништяки с разбиванием стекол, часто можно использовать воду, как элемент укрытия, это что касается левел-дизайна. Более возможность прокачивать несколько ветвей навыков, улучшена прокачка оружия, особенно приятна визуальная часть этого момента. Нельзя не сказать, что в некоторых моментах геймплей довольно затянут, игроку часто дается возможность поизучать окружающий мир, это как и плюс, так и минус, особенно для игроков, жаждущих непрерывного экшена, который тут кстати очень круто и качественно поставлен.
    Геймплей и левл-дизайн - 8.
    Итак, переходим к самому вкусному. Сразу скажу про ЛГБТ повестку, бояться ее явно не стоит, эта тема абсолютно не давит на игрока, а "традиционный" секс тут гораздо жестче, чем безобидные поцелуйчики главной героини. Сюжет. Очень трудно говорить что-то про него объективно. Скажу сразу. Эта игра - это воплощение боли и страданий, самое жестокое и тяжелое, что я когда-либо видел в физическом и тем более моральном плане. Эта игра не создана для того, чтобы ее любили. И в этом ее суть. Из нее не получится сделать ламповое прохождение, как это можно было сделать с первой частью. И это абсолютно уникальный эмоциональный опыт, который вы не получите ни в какой другой игре, не смотря на любые нюансы, именно поэтому такая разрозненность мнения игроков. Хочу сразу сказать, что абсолютно все персонажи раскрываются в полной мере, присутствует огромное количество деталей, которые будут просто выжимать из вас эмоции (не говоря уже об основных сюжетных моментах). Здесь представлен реальный мир, мир постапокалипсиса, где все могут проявлять как доброту, так и безграничную жестокость, неотъемлемую часть этого мира.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WARNING BIG SPOILERS

    As a side note:
    I have currently played through part 2 once on the survivor difficulty and
    I have played part 1 multiple times, on grounded difficulty. I believe that playing these
    two parts on the hardest difficulty is way more impactful than on any easier difficulty, because
    you really feel like you are being screwed over in every part of the game. Not scavenging for
    supplies will make it hard or even close to impossible to win encounters before the game starts making the encounters easier because you died so often.

    Also, I have heard that there have been spoilers before the game was even released. I have never read, seen or heard any of these spoilers. I do not even undestand why people would look up these spoilers to then end up being dissatisfied by what the spoilers make you believe how the game is played or how the story will evolve. From what I can tell you, the game is definitely worth to play.

    My thoughts and score:
    The story is compelling and shows what murder and revenge does to people. I have read plenty reviews of people that dislike the game with such little unjustified arguments. I think some people even gave the game a 1/10 just because Joel died and they think he deserved 'better' and that Joel was acting 'out of character'. Also some people think the ending is **** however I am willing to explain why the ending is actually logical and fits with Ellie's character.

    Joel's death:
    Honestly, I think this was almost the only way for Joel to die. Yes, it was brutal but it sets the tone of the game. I have been thinking about how else you would have Joel died but I just could not think of any other reason. It would not have given the same drive for revenge the story gave now by the way his death is portrayed. Some people believe that the act of going with Abby to her friends is out of character, because Joel is always so cautious with these things. However you have to understand that they have been living happily for 4 years in Jackson. Nothing has shown that he should worry about going with someone, who they saved, to save themselves from infected. Maybe he just should not have said his name and it would have turned out different.

    Ellie's mercy:
    Its been quite a while since Abby and Ellie have seen each other, as you can see from how much muscle Abby has lost overtime. The moment Ellie starts the fight with Abby, I already knew she would not kill her. But why did she actually not kill her? Why did she not kill the one responsible for the death of Joel? I think you should take into account the states of both Ellie and Abby, and what
    has happened before. At the start, Owen stopped the others from killing Ellie. In the theater, Abby does not kill both Dina and Ellie because of Lev. At the final fight, Abby does not even want to fight Ellie at first but Ellie makes her. Then I thought, would you really kill someone, that let you live twice and whose state is already pretty bad? Would you really kill a helpless person? The answer is no. Ofcourse in the end the flashback of Joel is what makes her stop, but the flashback may be evoked by the acts of mercy from Abby. Honestly, I think if Abby was in much better shape, Ellie would have just put a bullet in her head and be done with it.

    Ending:
    In the ending you see Ellie return to the farm, which Dina left. Only Ellie's room still has her stuff in there. She plays the guitar and then leaves everything behind. I think she never returned to Jackson, but wants to start over somewhere else. Maybe even start looking for fireflies.
    First reason as to why she would do this is that she would have to tell Tommy she did not kill Abby, but let her go. Tommy would probably not have approved this decision. Ofcourse she could have lied, but she probably would not have been able to uphold the lie. Second reason is Dina. I do not
    think Dina would be able to forgive her for leaving her at the farm. Also I do not think Ellie would be able to live with the regrets she bears with her and the losses she made throughout the game. Revenge has only made everyone lose more throughout the story and may be a message to take from the game.

    Score:
    Gameplay score is 9.5. The gameplay was very good and the graphics were beautiful. Not a 10 because I think looting with Ellie was not rewarding enough, whereas safes were too rewarding, or there were just too many of them. Also dodging mechanic felt sometimes broken, as in too easy to dodge attacks. It never mattered which way you dodged as long as you dodged away from the attacker. As if you would get a short invulnerability time window.

    Story score is 8.5. Some decisions made by Ellie were questionable and Ellie's mercy to most people (excluding Abby) felt wrong. She should have just murderd them brutally or made them give her information in some way. Story of Abby made more sense in a logical way than the story of Ellie.

    Total score is 8.9. Story score counted for 150%    … Expand

I even started to try to make explanation for some illogical actions of her. To me, the story is decent despite it ruined the old characters from my expectations. Graphics, audios, and gameplay are all top notch. Great job, Naughty Dog.… Expand

    The themes of suffering, hopelessness, and selfishness might be too intense for the general audience, but The Last of Us 2 narrative is brilliantly executed through it's graphics, gameplay, writing, and actor performances.

En fin mi calificación es un 9 al juego, un punto menos por los agujeros en la trama, pero de hay en fuera es excelente.

En todos los aspectos impecable salvo en la historia la cual no es tan impactante como como el 1 (no digo que sea mala pero no esta a la altura de la primera parte) los motivos de cada PJ los considero creíbles, simpatice con Lev y Abby sobre todo por perdonar a Ellie y Dina, llegando al final se fuerza un poco por alargar el juego mas no puedo mentir que si lo disfrute como un pequeño DLC y el hecho de que Ellie se de la tremenda molestia para terminar dejando ir a Abby me gusto, sobre todo porque al igual que el 1 fue un tremendo viaje que no termino cumpliendo el objetivo inicial, para finalizar que Ellie termine sola por culpa de su sed de venganza me parece perfecto.

    In every aspect impeccable except for the story which is not as shocking as 1 (I am not saying that it is bad but it is not up to the first part) the reasons for each PC consider them credible, sympathize with Lev and Abby especially for forgiving Ellie and Dina, coming to the end she forces herself a little bit to lengthen the game but I can't lie that if I enjoyed it as a little DLC and the fact that Ellie went to the extreme trouble to end up letting Abby go I like it, especially because like 1 it was a tremendous journey that did not end up fulfilling the initial objective, to finish that Ellie ends up alone because of her thirst for revenge seems perfect to me.
    If you do not like you are in your right I do not like fornite or gta not for that reason they are bad games you just did not like and this is it, do not forget they are games their objective is to entertain you and have a good time and the last of us part II did it with me.    … Expand

Flat out, I really was not interested in Dina or Jesse.Perhaps this is because they did not get much screen time, especially Jesse. Regarding the story, I greatly enjoyed it. It is compelling in its own unique way, in DIRECT contrast to the first game. To continue the story of our beloved duo after the end of the first game was a joy and a dream for I and im sure millions of other fans. But because of this same love, I can see why many people argue the sequel disrespects Joel and Ellie. I just think Naughty Dog continued the story in the most realistic and likely way, rather than the way fans were praying and wishing to see. Its a brutal story of revenge. Just because it doesn't follow your prenotion of what a story should be doesn't make it "awful story-telling" and even worse "ruins the whole game". Another thing that pisses me off is when people say there are plot holes, but then fail to mention said plot holes. Maybe i am wrong, but I don't think there are any serious or major plot holes. That's my 2 cents, hopefully I don't get ddosed or death threats but you know how it goes.… Expand

Its downgraded buuut even with the little Downgrade still looking awesome, i just notice this downgrade mainly in the faces of the npcs (I hope that ND improve this ln the PS5).
    Speaking of gameplay. Naughty Dog made an improvement in the gameplay, while Joel from TLOUS 1 was lethal at close encoenters but slow, Ellie its the opposite, the gameplay was improved making it better with the character, more agile but weak when its about close encoenters, you can go prone for get a better position, the NPC'S they really react like a person (or like they should) if some friend dies they get nervous and they'll go to the last position of his friend, to find out what it's going on...
    Now speaking about the hot topic of this game... Mainly the hatred that is recieving the game its because the dirty decisión, making...(I can't give you any clue because if i do im spoiling the plot) was the begining and the damn trailer, but i can understand this decission if Naughty Dog didn't made this choice maybe we didn't sympathize with the reasons about the search of Ellie, but skiping this point... The story... Yeah it's cliche and everything you want to say but the development through Ellie it feels good, we see her growing up through the game and we can easily notice these changes and around her...

Well a day after release I bought the game and it took me 15 days to beat it, 30hrs and 5 mins playing time. Overall I enjoyed the game, some of Abby’s sections dragged on a bit tho. Ellie’s Seattle Day 1 and 2 were my favorite chapters, I did enjoy Abby’s day 2. I think TLOU2 is a 9/10 game.

    Graphics on my Pro: 9/10
    Story: 9/10... it made me mad, sad, happy and silently watch the credits go by reflecting on the story that Naughty Dog wrote.
    Controls: 9/10
    Characters: 10/10

    Now to address the massive amount of homophobic trolls giving this game a 0 just because the game has a gay character is sad and hurts the gaming industry entirely.. (seriously over 115,000 reviews when Part one currently only has a total of 22,000 reviews including the Remastered).
    We begged Naughty Dog to make a part 2 and how does the community thank them? By giving over 50,000 negative reviews, threaten the voice actors/actresses with violence and death threats, accusing Naughty Dog of false advertising??? and making anti-Semitic comments towards the director.
    This game deserves more than a 5.2 average score (currently), let's stop the hate and trolling... we as gamers are better than that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is phenomenal in many ways, for starters the approach to this game is both unique and is bound to be revolutionary for future story-driven games. Gameplay-wise this tops the first game in all aspects, providing an immersive experience to this post apocalyptic world, with new stages of infection introduced. Graphics-wise this game is unanimously praised, and for good reason, the attention to detail surpasses anything I’ve ever seen before, but we couldn’t really expect any less from Naughty Dog. The acting and music should also be praised for it is all flawless, much like the original instalment of the series. Now to the controversial part - the story: [SPOILERS]

    I do believe this game has perfectly depicted a revenge tale, but to say this game is “revenge is bad” is completely reductive to what this game truly means. There is a difference between plot and story, take Part 1 for example: Plot - finding a vaccine for the zombie apocalypse

    Story: Joel learning to open up again to a girl he’s just met, who reminds him of his dead daughter. We can easily simplify the first game, much like we can easily simplify the sequel. The plot for Part 2 is indeed revenge, however the story is inevitably Ellie learning to forgive Joel for his actions in the first game, which concludes this arc at the end once she lets Abby go. As controversial as the ending is, it makes sense from a narrative standpoint. Abby essentially represents Joel’s physical torture, while Ellie represented Joel’s emotional torture, as for years she avoided him after learning the truth. After gaining the upper hand on a weakened Abby, Ellie, for the first time since her revenge quest started, sees a peaceful Joel. He’s not dead, and it’s not of him breaking the news to Ellie, as this flashback was about forgiveness. Through letting Abby go, Ellie was letting go of all the emotional torture she made Joel go through, she was forgiving him, she was letting Joel’s repercussions go. It is clear that revenge did nothing for Abby, as she continued to have nightmares of her dad after killing Joel. With this we can gather that Ellie’s PTSD wouldn’t have ended subsequent to killing Abby, so the only way for her to move forward was for her to let Abby go. My issues: The way Joel was lead up to dying wasn’t necessarily in character. From the first game Joel was depicted as a hardened survivor, a survivor who could tell if someone was faking needing help. In the second game a lot of people have an issue with Joel and Tommy giving away their names to Abby and her gang. My only way to justify this would be that Tommy was likely trying to recruit more people, so he’d see this as a catch, and Joel had softened up in the past four years. This past 4 years have been vitally important to Joel’s growth, as this is likely the safest he’s ever felt, not to mention the literal day prior to this, Ellie had finally opened up to Joel, finally being willing to try forgive him. So after this, he’s bound to be more hopeful and potentially let his guard down upon meeting a girl of similar age to Ellie. The argument that Tommy was out of character, however, is obnoxious. By the end of the game, Tommy had seen Jesse die, Dina and Ellie beaten to near death, Tommy himself was shot in the damn eye, crippling him and making him half blind. After all this he no longer wants revenge on Abby for Joel, he wants it for himself. This lead to his obsession leading to a separation between Maria and himself, and Tommy having an outburst at Ellie, the last chance he had at revenge, opting out for the quest against Abby. Aside from the way Joel died, I found the pacing could’ve been handled better, as I think jumping from playing as Ellie for 10 hours to Abby for 10 hours straight to be polarising to some fans, initially at least. Had they switched stories after every 1 day in Seattle I think it could’ve been more effective, but I understand why they took the approach they did. Ultimately I’m satisfied with the game we got, and I’d say it justifies its existence to continue the story of Part 1. It’s not a 10/10 perfect game, but it’s basically a masterpiece.    … 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...
