    I did not enjoy playing this game. And I don't think I'll ever play another Naughty Dog game again.

    You'd think naughty dog would've learned a lesson from GoT's final season on how to not piss off your audience but dear reader your probably much better off loading up the original game and pretending it's an only child . Last of us 2 is filled to the brim with lovely visuals    I did not enjoy playing this game. And I don't think I'll ever play another Naughty Dog game again.

    You'd think naughty dog would've learned a lesson from GoT's final season on how to not piss off your audience but dear reader your probably much better off loading up the original game and pretending it's an only child .

    Last of us 2 is filled to the brim with lovely visuals ,cutting gameplay and good music. A shame it doesn't take away from the fact that going through the story puts you in the shoes of a loathed character your supposed to sympathize with , who mere moments before we learn of her story had very brutally dispatched the father of our beloved father daughter duo of the first game because an NPC of the first game was suddenly given a name, and a family.

    I guess the take away from this was supposed to be those seeing revenge should dig two graves or something, but it was so poorly executed each death along our quest to tear Abby a new one just made me salivate for her blood even more. And we didn't even get that.

    Yes we are supposed to to go , oh, well I guess we're supposed to forgive this. You know it did flash me back to another game with a fantastic story were an older man bonds with a young girl through a zombie apocalypse. I wonder if father figures like Lee and Joel go to the same heaven. Lee would be like : I died heroically saving my charge , how did you die? And then Joel will be like : I died because Naughty Dog needed a throwaway character to start off on the most unfulfilling revenge plot line that was ever written in gaming history. And then Lee would be like : That's rough buddy.

    Anyway TLDR, Unfulfilling unsatisfying and rage inducing plot, unsatisfying flat characters, beloved characters making stupid choices.... just no. Save your money, watch a lets play.    … Expand

    Well, I don't know why so many people over here crying about the plot, it's great - maybe little cheese at times. But game is a master peace and not many developers do this says what NaughtyDog can. Every game is always a huge step forward. Not another : Assassin, Call of duty , gears gears , halo etc.
    Graphics / gameplay / story is great

    Think about it. Definitely 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TO EVERYONE LOOKING AT ALL THESE ZEROES THINKING THIS IS A HATE MOB - It is absolutely not. It is honestly people, like myself included, who quite frankly feel like they've been spat on by the writers, the developers and the game itself. Whilst I won't justify the zeroes, what I WILL justify is why this game at the very most deserves a five (even though I only want to give this a four). Why? Because the game looks beautiful and although the gameplay is a little dated and the extra mechanics feel a little forced, it's still fun to play. The rest is down to the story, and since this is a heavily story-driven game, let me tell you: it does not work. Not in the slighest.

    To start with, literally everything that happens in this game hinges off Abby's decisions. Stemming all the way from the first game where she is the one who suggests it's the right call to just do the operation on Ellie anyway without allowing Joel any input whatsoever whilst he is still recovering or letting Ellie know what's going to happen, which is what then causes Joel to go in and kill Abby's father. Then there's also an infamous scene with her killing Joel. She has absolutely zero remorse for what happens. She doesn't even stop to think for a moment to consider the fact that she actually would be dead without Joel at one point either, she's just this vessel of hatred. And this literally has nothing whatsoever to do with anything LGBTQ+, it is - as plainly as I can put it - a badly written character doing stupid things, watching other people die who went out of their way to help her cause and she have not any kind of reflection on it at all.

    This decision is what causes Ellie to then go out of her way to do horrible things, plenty of which is out of character for her and which even pissed me off because she was doing such stupid stuff, but all because Abby didn't like a certain character. Who, again, did what he did because he wanted Ellie alive and was the only person in that building in the first game who saw her as a human life. But then the game very blatantly starts to emotionally manipulate you: Ellie does all these horrible things, like killing dogs and a pregnant women (yes! how horrible!) because they're all she comes up against. Abby? Abby only ever pets dogs and has to fight against some weird cultish group of hateful people (I still can't fully remember what their motivations were but they were like the Hunters in the first). Notice how Ellie is only ever the one being forced into antagonistic situations whilst Abby is forced into the role of the good girl? There's no fight between either/or with the two, Ellie just fights innocent people and Abby just fights bad people. To me, that is the epitome of emotional manipulation. But it gets worse.

    The ending itself is what for me, totally falls flat on its face. EVEN IF you are able to justify Abby's actions at the start, whilst saying Joel had it coming, sure, fine, but what happens with Abby? Nothing. And I hear people even going "but Ellie didn't want to become Abby so that's why she didn't do what she did" and quite frankly that excuse is an utter load of tripe. You don't force Ellie to do what she did and THEN have her decide to take the moral ground just to spare a character. That is pathetic storytelling. If you're going to do an anti-revenge story like that, EVERY main character who exacts revenge needs to be punished for it. It seems they only ever wanted to punish Ellie for even thinking about exacting revenge, okay, fine. Abby, on the other hand? There's zero sense of remorse. Zero thought for the fact her own actions were literally what caused EVERYTHING in this game to happen. Zero compassion for Joel saving her life. It's poor. If you want to do a good anti-revenge story you should look at the Red Dead Redemption story, because even that allows you that sweet revenge whilst also then having the consequences catch up and it NOT feel like you've just had someone spit on your face and go "you're not allowed to retaliate to that because you're evil!"

    It's terribly written. Its own moral trips up on its own defence of a foolish, ignorant, spiteful character who I couldn't even force myself to like even just with her own moments in the game. And I'm not someone who has anything whatsoever against anything LGBTQ+ which is what quite a few of these review bombers here are for, but the character they had as the face of that agenda is just a **** person. There's no other words for it.

    I'm done with Naughty Dog. Druckmann himself said that he had an agenda to push in this. Well there you are, Druckmann... and funnily enough you've actually pissed off quite a large chunk of that group of people you were fighting to represent (I make no joke of this, ask most of those people who have actually played and finished this game). But all those sweet brownie points will get you a free cookie now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Historia:

    Voy a empezar dando mi opinión de lo más polémico. Dicho esto, me acuerdo del final del primer juego y como esto pensé que iba a tener repercusiones en un futuro, Sabia que no se podia quedar asi y para mi es logico lo que ha pasado Cuando muere Joel. Quizás fue un poco apresurado pero iba a pasar almenos eso lo tenia en mi mente antes de las filtraciones, me quedo con el momento de cuando Ellie le dice a Joel, levantate pensando que él es implacable y se niega a verlo de esa manera pensando que eso no va a poder con el...

    La historia me ha gustado mucho más que la del primero, muchas partes de Ellie como de abby me han llegado a emocionar, ponerme de los nervios, odiar, reconciliarme con el personaje, entender porque actúan de una manera u otra...

    Me encanto el Cover de take on me, No esperaba encontrar nada en esa tienda de música y me meten ese momentazo, asi como todos los momentos de guitarra donde Ellie se acuerda de Joel tocando el principio de future days...

    Yo he llegado a este juego sin saber nada de abby me he llevado una grata sorpresa, al principio estaba un poco desconcertado y en la segunda parte que es cuando la manejas no me sentía agusto con ella, tenia cierto odio por lo que había hecho... Avanzando con ella me he llevado una grata sorpresa con la historia que ha tenido con Yara y Lev superando sus miedos y demostrando que es un personaje que merece la pena y que tiene también derecho para hacer ciertas cosas, Ni los buenos son tan buenos, Ni los malos son tan malos, Eso lo demuestra muy bien este juego.

    Me marco mucho el momento de cuando Ellie se entera que Joel le mintió no una sino varias veces y como marca eso al personaje, me quedo con la parte final donde Joel le dice 'si dios me hubiera dado otra oportunidad, lo volveria a hacer sin dudarlo'.

    La historia de los serafitas me parece muy interesante y espero que no lo dejen en el olvido, me gustaría saber más de sus inicios...

    Dicho esto y para no extenderme hasta el infinito, siendo la segunda parte alomejor me hubiera gustado que me contaran más cosas sobre el origen del virus posible cura o solución etc... Aunque creo que eso les da al equipo mucho jugo para sacar una tercera parte y pienso que lo harán. Pienso que Tlou2 lo querían solo para dar a conocer mas a estos dos personajes a fondo.

    Gráficos:

    Lo he jugado en una ps4 normal y me he quedado embobado, naughty dog es una compañía que sabe exprimir las maquinas de Sony al máximo con un diseño artístico implacable. Para mí es de lo mejorcito que he visto en esta consola y en esta generacion.

    Las animaciones faciales, las animaciones en general, la iluminación, los entornos, el comportamiento de la lluvia, texturas. Se nota que todo se ha hecho con mucho mimo y detalle.

    Los pequeños detalles marcan la diferencia y este juego en muchas ocasiones se aprovecha de eso.

    Sonido-ost:

    No soy experto en sonido, pero a mí la banda sonora me ha transmitido muchísimas sensaciones y pienso que cada canción estaba hecha con mucha atención a cada momento que pasaba tanto en la historia como en los momentos más tensos.

    Puntuación sonido - 10

    Gameplay:

    Sigue la formula del 1 perfeccionandola, No soy mucho de juegos de sigilo pero en este almenos en normal se me ha hecho muy apacible ya que el juego me daba las dos opciones. La ia rodeándote, comunicándose, lamentando la perdida de sus compañeros, indicando a estos cuando te quedas sin balas, te mete muchísimo dentro del juego y hace que disfrutes mucho jugandolo, así como algunos puzzles y el uso de algunos objetos que me ha sorprendido.

    El gunplay se me ha hecho bastante llevadero y satisfactorio así como el uso de las distintas herramientas para matar a enemigos.

    Los nuevos enemigos, tanto los serafitas con su peculiar manera de comunicarse y los nuevos infectados le han aportado bastante novedad en este aspecto al juego.

    En mi partida no he tenido ningún bug que entorpezca mi experiencia cosa que si he visto en algún que otro tweet u otros lados.

    Opinión final:

    El mundo de los videojuegos últimamente esta como cubierto de una neblina espesa de negatividad que no la hace ningún bien a los juegos, en mi caso si no hubiera seguido mi propia opinión me hubiera perdido uno de los mejores sino el mejor juego del sistema en mí opinión claro esta.

    Por cierto hay muchas cosas que me he dejado por el camino lo sé y otras de las que no soy muy conocido, pero espero que si lo habéis leído os haya gustado.    … Expand

    Game looked and played so damn well but the story let it down in so many ways and ruined my experience with it. I struggled to understand their thinking as some of the decisions that were made were so stupid and unsatisfying to watch. Character development was so slow and it didn't make me feel for many of the characters especially when some of them died.

The balance between going stealthy and blasting in the front door is totally up to the player; you can go either way in almost all situations. The looting system is, in my opinion, still great, but I do think that even in the harder difficulties, finding items should be a little more rewarding. Graphics are awesome and really show the capabilities of today's technology. Especially the transition between cutscene and gameplay and vice versa is just barely noticable in some cases, and is the best in any other game I played on the PS4. Furthermore, there are many small details put in the game that will be missed by a lot of players on the first playthrough, and I applaud the game developers at Naughty Dog for putting in the effort to do so!

    My praise for this game goes far but this is however not a 10/10 game, which is mostly due to the story. Decisions in the narrative and storyline seem random and I think the story could have more impact if the order of events was changed. I found an analogy somewhere that describes how I feel about the storyline: "Naughty Dog put each event in the game on a playing card, put them in a deck of cards, shuffled the deck a few times, and then went with whatever order the events ended up in". Other choices in especially the ending of the game, makes a lot of the story so far feel pointless.

    Even though I think Part 2 could have been a lot better, I still think there is a lot more to tell in another Part 3. Especially in Ellie's world, I feel there is a lot more to tell. I didn't feel for the other characters as much as I did in the first game. However, it is still an 8 out of 10 or me.    … Expand

    This is a great game. But I can somewhat see the problem people have with it, aside from the childish trolling reviews.

    The mental transition from: A) hating a major character (and not wanting to be manipulated by the game) to B) accepting that you understand (not like) the character's motivation while seeing that (all) the characters – being blinded by hatred – just can’t act    This is a great game. But I can somewhat see the problem people have with it, aside from the childish trolling reviews.

    The mental transition from:

    A) hating a major character (and not wanting to be manipulated by the game)

    to

    B) accepting that you understand (not like) the character's motivation while seeing that (all) the characters – being blinded by hatred – just can’t act otherwise. And therefore the game doesn't give you the option to change their actions.

    ... that’s a highly risky way to tell a story. Especially with such beloved characters. But it's also a real sign of creative integrity and of a bold vision.

    If the player can’t take this step of acceptance (a major theme of the game itself), the game fails. It will take you out of the immersion–which is so important to appreciate the game. That's why the story leak was a huge problem. The game needs context and the player needs to let the plot – and his own anger – sink in. It's a brilliant mechanism that mirrors the events of the game on a meta-level.

    The game knows that the player is in a moral dilemma. And – if you let the masterful crafted world and characters sink in – it takes you on a cathartic trip (which doesn’t work if you are not willing to accept the story).

    I applaud Naughty Dog for the brave decision to go with this. I loved how they got me to the point, where I went with the emotions of the characters EVEN knowing that this meant acting against my personal choices (that derived from my knowledge of the story as an external viewer). And that I, therefore, routed for the catharsis of all the protagonists.

The Last of Us Part 2 is all the more proof of that. No amount of leaks or spoilers should lead you to judge this game until you actually play and finish it. The studio takes a whole lot of risks and makes numerous bold choices with this one, and frankly they do pay off by the end of the game. Just when I thought they couldn't have made the gameplay any better, ND added a surprisingly great number of subtle and more obvious gameplay improvements that offer you so many different ways to approach combat. Suffice it to say, it is extremely satisfying to take on enemies now than ever before. The facial animations, the acting and voice acting in this game is AMAZING!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A poorly paced, badly written, with constant strange design choices accompanied by little innovation on the original.

    For example an early 'open' section which is a one off (when I felt it was going to be like Metro Exodus) and then back into holding your hand. Taking control away from the player seems like it gets worse throughout.

    Chooses to focus on non interesting characters than the scars and that would be interesting to learn more about or even play as.

    So many oddities that it seems like several different people wrote and designed sections without direction or communication with their director.

    Ruins everything built in the first story with a fairly unlikable Ellie, absent Joel, limited interaction with previous characters and bland new characters that again are hard to give a damn about.

    Strange edits and time jumping which is always poor story design and lacks the coherency of the 'road trip' feeling of the first game. You can 'feel' cut content whilst also not sure if certain sections should be in the game in the first place. Would have been stronger being 5-10 hours shorter.

    Poor lighting in parts and not the best HDR which seems like a simulation.

    All good games should have one thing in mind at development stage...'Is this fun' and sorry but no, this isn't always fun (If I have to hold triangle again I'll freak out)

    Naughty Dog are better than this.    … Expand

I do grasp the concept of "people not always getting what they want" but it has to be "real". it has to be implemented correctly into the world built around the characters and their personalities and backgrounds.

    It's a mess. it's a disaster and quite honestly a total disrespect towards the first game and all its fans.

Needless to say I really wanted to play this game, I never preorder games. So rewind to when game previews came out. They're saying "it's bleak and not a fun game but it's not suppose to be. Yada yada all that jazz."I watched a few of those but one preview made a really good observation without really spoiling the game for me. I think it was IGN, I'm not sure, but the preview said you, as Ellie, and your crew are not the good guys in this game. As a matter of fact, I will take a step further and say there are no good guys in this game. Just people doing bad things that are not as bad as the other people doing bad things. Everyone does everything they do to survive so can you really say there's a lot of room for morality in a video game with a the backdrop of revenge like this? Every decision has a consequence and that comes tenfold in this game. Anyway that little tidbit alone got me personally excited to play this game. Now I'm not a hypercritical person so I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the game. I'm not saying there aren't plot holes and bugs and AI incompetence. Those things exist. I am saying it wasn't enough to draw me out of the game and stopped me from wanting to see it to the end. By the end of the game I was as exhausted as the characters and I felt like we both just wanted to see an end. And when that end came I wanted more so I hopped on the remastered and booted up Factions. Can't wait for that to drop or any DLC for TLOU2. I recommend you to play it and let your opinions be the ones that guide you. If you liked the first one you owe it to yourself to give this one a shot.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOA Part 2 is one of the best game I have I played this year.

    SPOILERS AHEAD.

    It was a jarring and emotional shock to lose Joel, the main character of the original game in such a violent and sudden way, but I found that it was moments like this that made the game such a pleasure play. The developer's relentless tenacity to make sure that you were in a constant state of unease whether you were part of a particularly emotional cutscene or desperately trying to hide from four clickers and a shambler was an element of the game that I felt needed to be experienced and it was incredibly well executed. Another aspect of the which I feel isn't getting a lot of traction that should be talked about is all of the accessibility options. I am a neurodiverse gamer and I have somewhat poor spatial awareness and visual perceptual skills so to be able to go to a menu which allowed me to adjust certain elements of the game that made more accessible it was such an unexpected and welcome surprise. I am so thankfully to Naughty Dog for thinking of like me and including us in their development process. Though I feel this game is incredible that is not say that I don't have a few questions about some story decisions. I know that the 1st game was developed without a sequel in mind but I feel that introducing a new main character into the arc of the story has slightly less emotional impact on the player than bringing over a character from the original game would have. On the other hand, I imagine the randomness and arbitrariness of whose enacting the violence of the game is part of the story of the game's message.

    So there you go. I am a fan of TLOA Part 2. I am not one the developers so I, of course, can't speak for them, but I genuinely loved everything that I believe this game was trying to be it fulfilled and exceeded all of my expectations. I don't know if Naughty Dog is going to make the game TLOA into a trilogy

    Amazing game. The world building, state of the art presentation is something that haven’t been seen in video games before. But what you take away from this game is the story. It leaves space for interpretation and and it makes video games evolve and mature. This is something no other medium could do and I’m so happy Naughty Dog have the capacity and resources to do it.

This is a game that can be played but is not too comfortable.

    Great visual effects
    Very good operating experience
    It can be said that it is currently the best 3A game at the technical level
    But that's all.

    As a story-centric game, it is out of touch with the player.
    Ambition and huge and complicated information caused a disconnection in the rhythm of the game, did not tell a story well,

    Small problems with gaming experience:
    1. Repeat redundant battles, causing a disconnection in the game rhythm, especially in the last part of the game, even increase the sense of boredom
    2. Inexplicable killing, too bloody but aimless killing, completely different from Part 1
    3. Monotonous battles and monotonous enemies, no characteristic variants, battles generally lack a sense of impact
    4. Too many guns and weapons, this is not Rambo, nor Laura or Drake.
    5. The weakness and abruptness of the last few chapters.

    The core failure lies in the plot concept, storytelling method, and end user experience
    1. Failed narrative rhythm. The developer has great ambitions and the settings are too grand, but the story is not well told. The inexplicable turning point, lack of foreshadowing, blunt evolution, set accidents in order to surprise the players, but most of them are actually speculative. The timeline of the story is not long. Unlike the previous generation, players can experience the growth of the protagonist, and the second part feels more confusing.
    2. Disappointing storyline. The ending of the characters is not necessarily a failure, but it is too much to raise the story to a philosophical or moral level, so that it is out of reality, unlike the generation, there is no sense of substitution, and the player can feel the same when facing the choice, lacking the moment that can actually move people. /Substitute. Looking back eventually, you will understand what the screenwriter wants you to know, but you will feel deeply inexplicable and meaningless.
    3. Contradictory and chaotic design. The developers intend to tell us that this is a complex world, so the recognition of the protagonists is also very chaotic and complicated, for example, crazy killing but beginning to talk about morality in the plot; inexplicable, fickle values ​​and trade-offs; role positioning has increased a lot Non-core elements, sexual orientation, and emotional lines, but they are abrupt and not deep enough, and actually do not help the theme of the story sublimation; according to this type of storyline, the supporting role will be very bright, but it is actually not impressive enough, like a toolman.

    Serious disconnect with the player
    Lack of respect for players, like Blizzard, when game developers become arrogant and think that players should play a game according to the developer's wishes, losing player support is inevitable. When a game requires the player to understand the writer, rather than the writer telling the player a good story, naturally no one likes the story. When looking forward to a bedtime story, telling a horror novel is obviously not a good choice, whether it is out of the philosophical height of hope to exercise your courage. A disgusting story.When developing a game, don’t forget that it’s selling stuff, why do players buy it, and what do players want to buy. Thanks to the word-of-mouth of the previous generation, the game is selling very well, but the next generation of works may be affected.

    In the previous generation of games, we realized that guarding hope in despair. In this work, the developer destroys hope with ease, and makes the people we guard become inexplicable, trying to educate us about the morality and complexity of the world. However, the real world is much more complicated than games, and we don’t need to learn morals through a game. What we need is a game that can touch us and can see the shadow of our ordinary people, not afraid of suffering, but always belief.

    Personally speculate that the developer is too hoping that the plot has a breakthrough from the generation, so that it exceeds the ability. They can feel the anger of the players, but they dare not admit it.

    There are already a lot of challenges and difficulties in the world in 2020. I don’t know why this kind of plot game was launched at this time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. english is my second language sorry if i write some of this wrong but i need to get it out of my chest
    I think we were disappointed by this game because the build up this fake plot in the trailers and they gave us the wrong expectations. We all knew this game was about Ellie's revenge and we all thought it was because someone was going to kill the girl in the trailer (Dina) then we play it and they kill joel at the start of the game! What made The Last of Us different wasn't the zombies! It was the characters! We loved Ellie's and Joel's dinamic, i liked that they were fighting because of what happened at the end of the first game and it would have been amazing if they tried to solve that problem between them as they get revenge for Dina, it would have been like meeting each other again, making their bond stronger. I think it was such a waste.
    Aside from that, once i accepted Joel was dead, i found really interesting the dinamic of showing us two different POVs but the way they put it in the game didn't work, it's like reading harry potter and when harry is about to kill voldemort you realise you have seven more books or movies with voldemort's POV. No one wants that. No one is going to empatize with a character once the heroe has gone through the entire journey.
    They should have mixed Abby's and Ellie's stories so it woudn't be so repetitive and we woudn't have to play with Abby for so long.
    I really, really liked Abby's character and her story was really good as well but the way they put it in the game didn't work. Having to punch and choke Ellie at the end of Abby's plot is a thing no one wants to do even if we now know Abby's motives and reasons, Ellie is the protagonist!! We don't want to hurt her, even less using the character who killed Joel!!! Then again, using HP reference, it's like 7 new Voldemort's books or movies and maybe you like him a little more o you understand him but then Voldemort goes and kill's Ron or Hermione, all of that is wasted!!!
    Ellie being happy with Dina and the baby in the end and then going back to look for Abby...at that point i just gave up. I continued because i needed to see the end but man, that didn't make any sense.
    Why not making a fight like the one in the end but in the theatre insted? Instead of using Abby to try to kill Ellie just let us use Ellie, Ellie forgives her because she remembers her talk with Joel and then that's it.
    But no. They killed Joel, Abby is now free with her friend and Ellie is all alone and she can't even play the guitar anymore. I know "life isn't perfect" and "not every ending is happy" but the ending stopped being happy the moment they killed Joel, at least Ellie and us deserved an ending like the one in the farm. Ellie, at least, being happy. Joel died for her to live and now she has to live a sad life. Dissapointing.
    I gave it five stars because the gameplay, music, graphics and even some parts of the story are amazing but then again the main plot of the game should have been better after of 7 years of waiting for a second part.    … Expand

Over 100, it is a 60. This game made me feel miserable for about 50% of the gameplay.
    The main downfall is that in my over 15 years of playing games, I had a very huge disconnect with the character's morals I was controlling (Abby) and I had to literally force myself to play and conclude this game.
    The game is great in terms of gameplay, good graphics and a great AI. However, the game falls short on story and its length, which is the only thing this game really has for itself when you consider how linear it is, the lack of DLCs and multiplayer.
    The issue with the story for me, is not Joel's death but the obvious lack of direction for Ellie and Joel's characters, it is very obvious the writer and director had very little thoughts on the future of this characters. At the end of the game, Ellie's fingers going off felt too convenient when you think of the guitar and felt more like a deliberate slap on the face for every fan rather than whatever it was meant to convey.
    This game was also marketed as an Ellie and Joel game which was completely false.You get to play as Abby for about 50-60% of the game, a character with zero moral compass, and this created a huge disconnect with me controlling the character, I hated the character and I don't know how I saw the game through. The worst part of the game to me, was the conclusion of Seattle day 3 with Abby, you would think that she had a great conscience or change of heart after the 10 hours+ of using her, but then you see that grim smile on the thought of killing a pregnant lady and naughty dog somehow wants me to have some empathy or love for this character. This was a big no, and I honestly felt her part of the game could have been introduced as a DLC, it had very little to the overall story we started in part 1.
    On the contrary naughty dog tries to sell Ellie out as a villain or somehow very similar to Abby throughout the game, which didn't connect to me, because Ellie always felt remorseful and never wanted to kill the characters she did in the game, she felt filled with guilt each time she made a kill and this was taking a toll on her. Which was the opposite of Abby, a character filled with joy in doing evil things, a sociopath that the game tried to make us love, from her cheating with Owen to her love for killing Jesse, Tommy and Almost Dina despite knowing she was pregnant. To me this was all I needed to know about the characters.

    If you think this story is good or a masterpiece, I completely disagree with you, as the story felt like it was paving the way for new games rather than continuing on its previous game, it felt like an introduction to gangs and zombies, something familiar to walking dead. It's almost like naughty dog has plans for multiplayers, and perhaps new characters/fraction wars in the future and not the great individual story which is the main reason for even playing the game. There are so many zombie games and movies and it is sad the last of us tries to feel like any other rather than set itself apart.
    I hope there is no part 3 of this game, because to me this game didn't only serve as a conclusion to Ellie and Joel's story but to the whole franchise.
    If I want to watch a zombie or survival movie with vengeance as the theme, there are many movies to watch. Naughty dog has too seriously rethink its future with this franchise moving forward and look at what worked in the first compared to the second.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can only say that the story and overall plot is one that will not be shown in any other game previous, or after the release of this game.
    The game lets you play as two characters, Ellie and Abby who both have their own reasons to fight their battles. Through their adventures, two parts of the same story is shown, and honestly making the player play as the character who gives so much sadness to Ellie (who we expect to be playing as through the majority of the game) might not be a cup of tea for everyone. But seeing it through to the end, it actually makes what happened throughout the plot very believable and I ended up being able to sympathize with both characters and their sides of the story.
    The ending was very realistic, Ellie had gone through too much trouble, to just let go and live her life, and it was hard for me to imagine her having a Happily ever after life after the last scene. This was honestly a story that could only possibly be told through a game, where the player can closely understand how the character feels, by controlling them.

    Vale, este juego es de lo mejor que he probado en mucho tiempo, con un significado moral al nivel de la primera entrega.
    Empezaron con una muerte impactante, pero merecida. Abby me parece un personaje muy bueno, un personaje que tiene identidad propia y no es del todo insufrible.
    Pero lo mejor de este juego? Definitivamente el mensaje, el mensaje de que... no hay ni buenos ni malos, todos son malos, todos han hecho cosas horribles.
    Y es que, te puedes poner en la piel de quién tú quieras y verás lo que he dicho. Incluso, me atrevería a decir que Abby es más humana que Ellie, ella no ha matado a una embarazada, a decenas (cientos incluso) de hombres y mujeres para llegar hasta ella, y cuando encontró a joel solo lo mató al él, y no solo por que mató a su padre, por culpa de joel nadie encontrará la cura al cordiceps JAMÁS, le ha quitado al mundo ese privilegio. No ,privilegio no, les ha arrebatado la salvación.
    Por si fuera poco, Abby perdonó a Ellie más de una vez incluso después de todo lo hizo.
    Una historia cuanto menos encantadora, verdad? Un juego que... si lo juegas prestando atención, y jugaste al 1 BIEN te entrará por los ojos, y no saldrá de ahí.

    Un juego que , espero que sea un antes y un después en la franquicia de los videojuegos, tanto en jugabilidad, como en gráficos, ps5 con títulos así será impresionante.    … Expand

    Amazing story, interesting character. You can watch story from both side. Absolutely technical masterpiece. Best graphic in current generation. As for me the strong side of this game is in the ability of modifying the character, that depends on quantity of found items.

    Obviously one of the biggest sony launch ever and by far the worst , the story was written by amateur writers who though they were deep by killing 90% of the characters , well guess what , they failed and its a piece of trash.

Работа со звуком и музыкой тут просто потрясающие, играя в качественных колонках или наушниках будет ещё лучше. Геймплей разнообразный и увлекательный, игра хорошо стимулирует игроков на исследование мира, сам мир богат на лут и имеет много интересных историй. Отдельного упоминания удостаиваются мелкие детали, банальный пример, когда ложишься в лужу и после при прицеливании, можно увидеть как с волос, одежды и оружия стекают капли. Сюжет крепкий и даëт хорошую пищу для размышления. А также она богата на кастомизацию в настройках.
    Эта часть не лучше первой, но в качестве продолжения она достойная. В ней имеется ЛГБТ повестка, но по сравнению с другими играми с ней же, она присутствует в минимальном количестве. Сюжет не настолько плох как утверждает, очень громкое меньшинство, все намного лучше и красочнее. Игра удалась на славу! Я очень благодарен разработчикам за их продукт, 7 лет кропотливого труда оправданы, в общем хочу сказать СПАСИБО!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I don't understand how people are giving this game a 0, but I understand why they gave a 10, because this game is not for everyone, not everyone would like it, i can understand that.

    1- The way they treated Joel in this game is very but very bad, if they wanted to kill him, atleast they would give him a decent death to the character;
    2- Buried one of the most iconic characters in a video game, because of a stupid narrative error;
    3- Abby's revenge and her character is very poorly achieved, which later dictated a very poor game thread;
    4- The male characters were totally demoted and pressed (hence the death of joel, jesse, isaac, manny and owen) and Tommy disappears almost the entire game.
    5- Narrative of this game is very badly achieved, playing with a character almost 10 hours, character that nobody or most would not like.

    A game that promised so much, in my opinion it turned out to be not only the video game with the worst narrative and message I've ever played, but also the game that most disappointed me in my 21 years of life. While The Last of Us 1 was iconic and the best game I have ever played, it is pure sadness that I rate this game on a note that I would never think to give.

    This game was everything I dreamed of, what a fantastic world, spoiled by a story and a very poorly achieved message.

    Gameplay- 9/10
    Audio- 10/10
    Soundtrack- 9/10
    Story- 2/10
    Visuals- 10/10
    Characters- 2/10
    Details- 10/10

    So my rate is: 5/10    … Expand

    A terrible piece of writing. While the visuals are good there is way too much dead time. You don't feel anything great from the story after a while. I just can't believe this happened. Whoever thinks this is good I don't know how but good for you. Thanks Naughty Dog. Toss this game in the basement and never open it again....

Abby is a good character well written. Only weakness in her storyline is the fall with her gang that comes awkwardly. Joel did what he had to do in the first part. And a death is a death there is no way we could have done it better. He's been killed by naivety towards human he promised to despise after his daughter death. Now the game is not a 10 but a strong 8 and could be a 9 without the last chapter… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, I've been a huge fan of The Last of Us. I love Zombie anything & have always been fascinated with the idea of an apocalypse. With that in mind here's my review of the game.

    1. The Game-play: Great mechanics - if you liked the game-play in the last one you'll enjoy it here. BUT, the lack of new things you can do is kind of a bummer. It feels like a version 1.5 rather than a whole new game. It can also feel a bit repetitive, which I felt in the last game and was hoping they would address some of the monotonous parts in this game. Also, sound, music, graphics all great, but that's not what made The Last of Us awesome - I mean it helped for sure, but it was the amazing story that captivated players.

    2. The Story: Ugh, where to start. I'm so torn regarding the story. There are aspects I enjoy and there are others I HATE. I'm trying to keep the spoilers to a minimum. The fact that the game makes you play as the "villain" pisses me off. I don't want to play as "her" I want to shoot "her"

    Now, addressing Abby, in another game I would have liked playing as Abby. Maybe in a spin off? But not in this game & not in this setting. Also - the whole transgender thing feels forced. It really doesn't make any sense regarding the story. Transgendered people are what? .01 of the population - the odds of someone surviving a fall out of this size is highly unlikely. What makes more sense is Naughty Dog wanted to be the first at something and decided to force it in there regardless if it made sense or what it would do to their story. Lev on the other hand, I don't feel is as intrusive. He at least kind of makes sense. So its not that I don't 'like' transgender characters, but when it feels forced, and harms the story I just cant get behind it.

    Also, I didn't love Ellie in this game as I did in the last. Maybe it was more of a problem with how the story was set up rather than Ellie herself. Regardless, I just didn't jive with her like I did in the last game. And Tommy? It was amazing the fake out they pulled, I thought for sure he was dead. Then to see how he behaves? It seemed out of character for him.

    All in all I fall somewhere in the middle. The great parts of the game helped pull up my score some but the bad parts greatly hurt my overall experience.    … Expand

    The pacing is horrendous. At some points you want cutscenes to end because the conversations and characters actions are so bad, and you want to get back to the gameplay, which actually drags for too long too. You are into this repetitiveness mess for the entire game.

    They obviously traded character development for shock value. Characters are as smart as the person who writes the lines for them. The violence and gore are over the top, and non of te characters learned anything from the things going on in this world. Characters felt like they were just put in there in order for Ellie to get her revenge.

    The ending is also the most unrealistic thing I've seen. For a game aiming to teach you something out of the reality of it's own world, the ending makes absolutely no sense. And that's what this game is, a nonsensical tale about nonsensical character doing a lot of nonsensical stuff in the most vicious way possible.    … Expand

    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.
