    I don’t know what people are whining about. The gameplay is spectacular, the story is keeps you engaged, the scars are terrifying, and the cutscene to gameplay transitions are fantastic. Not to mention that it’s absolutely gorgeous! 10 out of 10 for me!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute Trash. Graphics are good, but that's the only good thing about it. There are no other redeeming qualities for a game that simply does not live up to the potential there could have been. I will not spoil the story, because some people genuinely enjoy this pile of hot garbage. They are wrong. This is simply the left wing culture of today, wrapped in a post-apocalyptic video game that doesnt ha e good, fluid combat, does not have well written dialogue, and panders to an audience that will never, most likely, buy the damn game.

    Me haría muy feliz si hago que un sólo usuario que sigue indeciso sobre el juego, debido al linchamiento masivo e injustificado por parte de los usuarios, lee mi reseña y decide probar la experiencia que The Last of Us 2 tiene para ofrecer.

    Técnicamente el juego es perfecto, no hay aspecto del juego que no esté cuidado al más mínimo detalle: gameplay, animaciones, IA, sonido, actuaciones de voz, gráficas... todo, todo es top en la industria y pocos juegos llegan a este nivel de excelencia.
    Es difícil hablar de la historia sin spoilers y por eso mismo, lo único que puedo decir es que ningún juego me había causado tantas emociones, de la esperanza a la tristeza, de la risa a las lágrimas, de la felicidad a la ira. Son palpables las emociones de los personajes. A mucha gente no le gustó el giro que dio la historia y podrán o no podrán estar de acuerdo con el guión que se adaptó al juego y es aceptable pero lo que es innegable es que todo está contado de manera magistral, justo como la primera entrega. Algo de lo que sólo son capaces los genios de Naughty Dog.
    Experimenten The Last of Us Part 2 por su propia cuenta, es la joya de la corona de PS4.

    I do no get how this game is a political statement. If you think it is, it’s you, not the game. This game makes a message alright. But that of what it is to be human. What happens when two sides of the story get revealed. That’s all. This game is a masterpiece.

    unsurpassed, a new level in video games. His story seems more natural. It can be said that it is one of the reasons that classify video games as a new art. The true qualification is the change that leaves in each one at the moment of finishing the story.

    Was waiting for the parts that everyone **** about and never came across them. This is a solid story and game. (Definitely long and with pacing issues)

    Sucks that it doesn't land for a lot of people. But it's not a trash game. By any means. Sorry if your head cannon didn't match with what the outcome was. Review bombing? Really?? LOL

    Atmosphere is gorgeous, gameplay is well improved, the sound design is incredible and all the accessibility options are amazing. The only downside, and it's a huge one, is the story. Too little of one beloved character and way too much of a new character with a bulked out presence, slapped hard with a far too ambiguous ending!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although it’s not as tightly written as the first installment it’s a wild narrative that speaks volumes on violence and loss while also being extremely gripping. Not once did I find myself bored, maybe scared or thrilled or depressed, but I never wanted to put down the controller. I also don’t think it was perfect but mostly because of specific segments that had me dying too much or being confused on where to go next. But the combat in this game is brutal and most of the time feels as real as a fame can get. The story is the subjective factor responsible for most hate towards the game. Joel’s death and Abby gameplay is the most hated aspect. But if you’re open minded to what this game has to offer you would enjoy the ride because this is one hell of game. Expand

There's no problem for me with the character and the overall arch. It works and make sense.

    On the gameplay side, it's more like everything Naughty Dog has perfected in this generation of console, they bring it on the table then expand it. The combat is fierce, whether you go gun blazing or like me, I prefer stealth, every encounter both with humans or infected will make your heart pounding literally sometimes makes you shook after it.

    I love this game, though I thing that come to mind that this game will feel a bit draggy toward the final hours. Though I get the intent of the developers on why they doing that, I feel that it can be more compact. Anyway, it's 9/10, the game of this generation and a beautiful swan song for PS4.

    I just loved Last of Us (2013 ). What a great story. What amazing characters. Joel and Ellie and their growing relationship, their bond, with each other - that was great to watch ( and play). This was the heart and soul of what made that game so great. But, as much as it hurts to say, Last of Us Part 2 took a giant DUMP all over that and destroyed all the heart and soul there ever was.I just loved Last of Us (2013 ). What a great story. What amazing characters. Joel and Ellie and their growing relationship, their bond, with each other - that was great to watch ( and play). This was the heart and soul of what made that game so great. But, as much as it hurts to say, Last of Us Part 2 took a giant DUMP all over that and destroyed all the heart and soul there ever was. Now don't get me wrong, LOUP2 is still such a beautiful game and has its intense moments, but the story is just horrible and betrays everything about its characters from the previous game. It slaps every fan hard across their face and forces them to play psychotic murderers with split personality issues and also FORCES the player to be confronted with the "woke community". Last of Us Part 2 is a game full of plot holes and a giant amount of flashbacks that rip you out of the game so often, it annoys the teets off a rat. These time jumps just ruin the whole immersion that a player wants to keep in a game. Two, maybe three well-placed ones I might be okay with, but this is just a bad way to tell a story. I was soooo looking forward to this game, but after playing it for a few hours I was regretting it bitterly. And I took my sweet sweet time to with my playthrough ( over 36 hours) because I spent 70 fricking bucks and wanted to squeeze out every cent possible in return. And boy, I can tell you that wasn't easy. You know, There is a farm seen later in the game ( I won't describe more) in which my only thought was "oh God, please let this be finally over". That alone explains what a painful journey this game is. The only good thing to say about it is. that it is truly a beautiful game with lots of areas to scrounge through and awesome detailed regions where you just want to stop and just LOOK around. There are some "levels" in which you can choose to sneak around certain enemies instead of hunting them all down like a serial killer. But then: in other areas you don't have that option. For me the "Game Killer was the way a certain well-known (and loved) main character was "ended". This person DESERVED a better way to go. Also, the missing option to be able to knock someone out - that has to be an effing JOKE. How can you NOT have the choice to knock someone out instead of having to kill them? That is so NOT right. This game has turned its main characters into psychopaths and ignores everything the characters have learned and experienced in their past. It contradicts the true soul of its characters and pees all over the logic of certain choices / decisions they make. And that's why judgement is: they effed it all up! Expand

    If you have played the first game and loved it for its gameplay and gameplay is important to you get this game. There not to many innovations though( unless you count prone, jumping, and 1 new infected.) If you play the last of us part 2 for story, I wouldn't recommend it. Gameplay, sound design, graphics, and gore is great. It lacks in characters and story

    The death scene of Joel is poorly implemented, and the feminism message is so bad.

    After all the hundreds of worthless killings, finally Ellie decides not to kill, that’s a horrible ending. The false advertising of the game, made me so pissed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you come into this game with the right mindset, it might shake you to your core. This game has a perfectly told story that should make you think. The parallels that are drawn between Abby and Ellie, and their core group of friends have been carefully written. These girls draw from the same moral compass, but they've been on opposite sides of a situation that puts them in a mortal struggle against one another.

    Sure, Abby kills Joel, who is a fan favorite. You are forced to understand this game is not called "Ellie and Joel's adventures part 2"...its "the last of us" (the last of humanity)

    I agree with many on the web that there are many "agenda topics that are shoved in our faces," again, this world is supposed to parallel real life, with the trauma of child abuse, lack of decent males to choose from, it's safe to say that it isn't a stretch of the imagination Ellie would definitely be a lesbian.

    This story tangles with topics of broken trust, forgiveness, revenge, cult-like beliefs and behavior, acceptance of other people's actions and their right to fight for their own beliefs, the realization that those in your community may not give two **** about you, and the need to think for yourself.

    I'm rambling. No ellie does not get her revenge, she accepts that Abby was doing what she had to do after her father was killed, we find out near the end that ellie wished she had been used to find a cure, she could have "had meaning" she had to forgive Joel for taking that away, just as she must forgive Abby for taking Joel away.
    This game draws parallels to modern society, where everyone "draws lines in the sand" over everything and the hate and rage that is freely shown to anyone that doesn't align with you, this game should hopefully make us all think about how we treat others. On the flip side of that coin, this game is JOYOUSLY BRUTAL. No matter which character you play as, you become a murderous PSYCO who's bloodlust can never be satisfied, I went from area to area gleefully and brutally killing every one and every thing. I found myself using leg shots and arm shots to maim my human rivals, rather than insta kill head shots. I smiled as they screamed in aggony and their comrades freaked out just before I cut them down in brutal animation after brutal animation. I loved the adrenaline dumps as I got the crap scared out of me by the infected time and time again,and the dread of knowing that they COULD BE ANYWHERE. I LAUGHED AND SMILED every time I died, because it was all gleefully gory. The art work here is beautiful, the world feels real, the progression of the infected areas are horrific. this game is an absolute must play. Dont listen to everything you read on the internet.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It really is a shame that the leaks occured and prevented so many people from enjoying this game spoiler free. Or just flat-out refusing to give it a chance. The metacritic review bombing is childish, and so boringly predictable with it. It says more about outrage culture than anything else, and the lack of nuance allowed in mainstream entertainment.

    We're not 'owed' anything, in terms of story. So what Naughty Dog have done here, on the back of a very simple story in Part 1, is tell a story they wanted to tell. Not only that, but they have done it more intelligently. Both parts share the fact that they are essentially character-driven narratives, which is always the best basis for a successful story. When I saw in the leaks that you ended up playing as Joel's murderer, my first instinct was how bold a choice that was. While others were upset, I was more intrigued by the fact that they had made this choice in the first place, and that it wouldn't be a rote action sequel. ND were going to try something different, and I applauded that, while also being intrigued about whether they could pull it off, because if not, then yes, it really would fall flat.

    So, you play as Joel's murderer and the challenge ND set themselves was to turn around the player's viewpoint so far that you might begin to empathise or even like this new Abby character. BOLD. Know what may have been bolder? Player choice at the end, and an in-built prompt that told ND the result. Did the player choose to kill Abby, or let her go? The results would've been interesting, and may even have validated their story choice to an extent.

    But this isn't the player's journey. So having that option taken out of your hands, much like at the end of part 1, just emphasises that point. These aren't your characters. They're not mine. We're watching what they do. Good entertainment often makes us squirm, or uncomfortable - not enough games do that, so to have one that does, and may even make you want to turn off, is a brave developer choice. People can be mad about it; see the leaks and boycott it, but this boldness is something missing from what has become more and more an adult medium. More adults play games than children, so to have a mainstream game that challenges in terms of story, and not just violence, gore, gameplay and puzzles, is welcome.

    Do they pull it off? In the final standoff, would I have let Abby go or kill her? I would've let her go. Without experiencing Abby's arc, would I have let her go? Well, that's an interesting thought too. By the end, Ellie is shattered; both of you have slaughtered hundreds to get there, and gone through emotional turmoil - Ellie's character design at the end is shocking, as she's verging on anorexic. You can see the impact of all that hate and anger. So yeah, maybe seeing that Abby is looking after Lev (which adds to the guilt), and Ellie's own struggle at the time, might've been enough to let Abby go, even without experiencing her arc.

    As an aside, while mentioning character design, I think it has to be hats off to the dev team for Abby's design. The braid and muscle, two simple things, combine to make an immediately exceptional design. You only need to find the spoiler memes across the net to see how it captures something unique. Hats off too to not overplaying the muscles - a lot of Abby's character is inferred, and there's something human about a little girl burning her anger with muscle-building so that when the time comes for revenge, she is more than ready for it. The fact she is NOT trans, or gay, but just a muscled woman, also serves to expose the ludricrousness of the review bombs that talk about pushing some form of agenda.

    The only agenda, when it comes to the main characters, is diversity. Outside of the bubble of Joel's murder, Abby would've been (and was anyway) a kick-ass character to play. Women can be muscley too. And gays exist. It doesn't need saying, but for some people, it does. Creating a game with a diversity of main characters, especially one so in the public eye, is overwhelming inclusive. It helps normalise diversity. The more this is done, the better.

    Though the harder the push-back (see: the review-bombs).

    Is the story perfect? No. It falls foul of its own realism. In many games you wouldn't think too hard about characters coming and going, but here, after you've struggled through infected and armies, and just struggled to even find a path at times, it felt incongruous to have characters suddenly find you. That anyone wants to live in, let alone fight over, Seattle, is also unrealistic. However, everything mentioned, combined with beautiful environments and exciting, accessible, varied, FUN gameplay, make this game 10/10.

This is spoiler free so dont worry about, but u start with a beloved character and suddenly they change to another one than u don't now and kill one of the character than u loved! From there u can see a downfall: plots holes everywhere, character so unforgivable than u dont can care less. And a final escene than make u think: wtf i spend 30h in this game! For what!? I dont recommend this game to anyone.

The gameplay is just perfect, the new mechanics make the gameplay one of the greatest of this generation, you will never get bored playing this game. The graphics are AMAZING, the enviroment, the music and the stages makes you feel like you are inside the game.
    The story is in my opinion the worst thing of the game, like a fanboy that I am of Joel and Ellie, this end get me empty inside me and a little disappointed. In spite of the bad end, I like the way how Abby killed Joel. But the thing what bothered me the most is the fact that the game forces you to play with Abby for more of 10 hours, at that point of the game I feel like I was playing a Dlc or something like that.
    I understand that Naughty Dog want you to emphatize with Abby, but I think that they didn't it well.
    I think that the problem is in wanting to get into a new character to emphatize after killed Joel. To sum up, I recommend to everyone to play this masterpiece in spite of the end.
    Pd: here is my unpopular opinion but...Ellie in the first half of the game >>Joel.

    I highly recommend Last of Us 2, this was one of the most unique, captivating, and emotional video games I have ever played.

    In Last of Us 1, we were given the introduction to this bleak, violent, and turbulent post-pandemic world where human civilization is fractured. In the chaos, we the players get to experience the connection and bond that grows between two distinct characters (Joel and Ellie) leading to an ending that naturally makes most people feel sympathetic of Joel's decision to save Ellie (despite the lives he took to rescue her). It was a brilliant ending.

    Coming into Last of Us 2, it's important to realize that while on the surface, the game seems like a continuation of their character arcs (in a darker way), it is about something far deeper than that. In my opinion, the game actually isn't really about Joel and Ellie (or any "character arcs"), but more about asking the ethical questions of human reactions and emotions when put into intensely emotional and bleak situations. It asks you to look beyond any specific person to understand the depth of humanistic emotions and characteristics when faced with tragedy juxtaposed with an apocalyptic environment. It makes you realize, there are no real heroes and villains here, this is about something deeper and it requires you to open your mind to appreciate the bold direction the writers chose to take.

    It frustrates me that most people who scored the game poorly and remark on the perceived bad or broken story line, cannot seem to get past the feelings they established about Joel/Ellie from the first game. This is a VERY different game from that one, and with good reason. If the developers and writers tried to make this game be a continuation of the first game, I believe most people would have gotten bored with it. The reality is this is NOT Uncharted, or Star Wars, or a similar type game where you are focused on specific character and relationship arcs and can thus have specific expectations in terms of how they should be portrayed (or how/when to appropriately dispose of a character). I truly believe that the writers wanted you to walk away from this game with an emotional experience and asking ethical questions about the lengths you would go to save, protect, or avenge the people you care about (similar to the first game but on a much grander scale). It's about emotional themes and human character more than any specific character arc. In that way I believe this game is special, unique, and definitely worthy of your time and play through.

    Aside from all that, the gameplay is amazing. I absolutely LOVED that there was a custom difficulty option. I played through with all settings on Survivor but resources on Hard. This gave me sufficient resources to approach different combat sequences with variety instead of always having to sneak. I really hope games moving forward consider making custom difficulty settings standardized.

    In summary, breath-taking graphics, gritty intense gameplay, and a story that will make you experience emotions and reflect on a wide range of human character traits such as despair, rage, perseverance, and the will to survive when faced with tragedy and impossible situations. It's a game I will never forget and look forward to playing again.

    Thank you to the Naughty Dog team for your hard work in making this incredible game! I hope you never give up on making these significant single player experiences in a day and age where some game companies are trending away from single player games. I highly recommend this amazing single player experience! 10/10

Uma belo enredo se analisarmos as perspectivas dos personagens jogáveis, se nos colocarmos no lugar de cada personagem jogável e sentirmos as emoções, motivações, razões de cada um demonstraremos a nós mesmos uma perspicácia aguçada e uma experiência que ao longo dos anos vivendo e sobrevivendo se tornou inexorável mas também compassivo. Este jogo como também o Detroit Become Human, sem dúvidas, nos faz refletir sobre nossas escolhas na vida porque afinal são elas que determina nossa índole, ética.

    Em relação a física gráfica do jogo está incrivelmente boa, mas, deixou a desejar quando os personagens se agacham para mexer na mochila, certos momentos eles se agacham na água e a mochila fica submersa. Deixou a desejar também quando o lança chamas é usado nos infectados sendo que há um combate mano a mano entre o companheiro do personagem jogável e o infectado.

    The Last Of Us Part II: Jogo esteticamente bonito. Parabéns aos programadores e parabéns aos diretores e produtores do enredo desenvolvido.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gran jugabilidad muchas cosas nuevas implementadas, excelentes gráficos al tope de la generación, excelente música y hablemos de la historia, es buena pero pudieron hacer ciertas cosas mejores por ejemplo el trayecto que recorre Joel para ser asesinado tuvo muchas conveniencias, tales como la manera de confiar de personas desconocidas, creo que estos detalles los pudieron haber mejorado haciendo que Joel no soltara sus armas y apuntará a Abby y a su gente y les preguntara que hacen ahí, esto le hubiera dado más realismo ya que recordemos que Joel fue cazador y contrabandista por lo que tenía mucha experiencia en estas cosas, la muerte que le dieron no me desagrado sino la forma en que se llegó a esta. Después de ahi todo me gusto, siento que se pasaron un poco con el tema de la inclusión hay muchas personas con diferentes preferencias de género en el juego y esto lo puedes saber si escuchas las conversaciones y lees algunos textos los cuales recojes. No digo que esto sea malo sino que en la realidad no hay mucha gente así, 1 persona de 100 tiene preferencias diferentes y poner tantas le quita realismo. Bueno el juego lo recomiendo un 100%, tienen que jugarlo así sentirán mas empatia con los personajes, habrá momentos fuertes en los cuales se sentirán frustrados, tristes y confundidos por lo que les recomiendo parar, asimilar y luego continuar. No jugarán cualquier juego pues este trata los hechos de una manera muy cruda y realista, si pudiera darle una valoración le pondría un 9.4/10.

    Great gameplay, many new things implemented, excellent graphics at the top of the generation, very good music and let's talk about the history, it is good but they could do certain better things, for example the path that Joel travels to be killed had many conveniences, such as the way to trust Unknown people, I think these details could have been improved by making Joel not drop his weapons and point it at Abby and his people and ask them what they are doing there, this would have given him more realism since we remember that Joel was a hunter and a smuggler, so I had a lot of experience in these things, I did not dislike the death they gave me, but the way in which it was reached. After that I liked everything, I feel that they went a little over the issue of inclusion, there are many people with different gender preferences in the game and this you can know if you listen to the conversations and read some texts that you collect. I'm not saying this is bad, but in reality there are not many people like that, 1 person out of 100 has different preferences and putting so many takes away from realism. Well the game I recommend 100%, they have to play it so they will feel more empathy with the characters, there will be strong moments in which they will feel frustrated, sad and confused so I recommend stopping, assimilating and then continuing. They will not play any game because it treats the facts in a very crude and realistic way, if I could give it an evaluation it would put a 9.4 / 10.

Not game but rather a journey! We see a fearless man whom we controlled with joy back in 2014, now whittled down to someone who is terrified.. Not of the world or monsters around him but rather terrified of a little girl. His girl, someone whom without life itself ceases to exist. We see a girl growing into a woman fighting the parental love the same way we all have once upon a time. It isn’t until tragedy/karmic justice, whatever YOU call it, strikes. When she herself realizes life without that love isn’t a life at all. So instead she attempts to fill that void with hate, in a journey that teeters us along the same knives blade used to slit the throats of the many “foes” along the way. All while as we the player from an outside perspective begin to realize the wasted life and love being bleeding out into the streets or snow for the joys of hate and revenge. It is here where the games beauty lies. Never as a gamer have I been halted from a bloodlust to ponder “are these people deserving of the wrath I bring” (mind you I speak on the npc’s not the core group you hunt) for 10 hours of the game I said yes and never looked back as I hacked limbs, caved skulls, and incinerated flesh. But upon the tonal shift (that I admit hating and even growing weary of at first.) I found my mind being re programmed as I realized in this world everyone has a reason for blood, everyone has a reason to hate. It’s only those that move on that find peace. (At least their own form) Those that seep down into the sunken darkness of their pain will never float again, will never feel whole and will lose EVERYTHING in the process. The 2nd half of the game tested me. (In many ways.. emotionally, pacing, tonal shift) but once I embraced it I found as a firefly might say “the light in the dark” As a man who is nihilistic in nature I found hope for the first time as I wanted peace for all parties involved. Until the men whom I idolized reminded me what was lost (Tommy is a constant reminder) then I was yet again geared to fight for what I believed in and what I believed in was hate.. then it ended. Where did my hate leave me? With nothing.. sitting in the water on screen and sitting with my jaw open in my room, I couldn't help but smile because inside of me a small portion of peace grew. I knew now it was over and my character could stop fighting and embrace what comes next. I was proud of her! But it was to late, everything was already lost. Even if she for filled her set quest of hate and revenge it still would have ended here. Alone, lost, on the road to fill that void. Except this time knowing hate will never fill it. She may never forget what happened but she has at least come to terms with it... Any game that can make me wage war within my mind and heart is a goddamn masterpiece. Stop comparing and let this game exist in its own right... It’s only then you can respect and open yourself up to something truly moving. Graphics 10/10. Story 9/10
    Gameplay 10/10
    Characters 8/10
    Final notes. Only thing that actually upset me was the length of the final location and group. That setting was what it feels like to chew 5 gum. It was a refresh much needed! It came and went like me on a one night stand... not to mention the final group “Rattlers” were one of the most interesting introductions to not only the series story but a great spin on many other things such as how you approach gameplay and how this series can still surprise and grow even in its last hour. They deserved more! I’m still craving more. Imagine having to raid compounds of cannibals like “the walking dead’s” terminus or compounds like the soldiers in “28 days later”. That’s how this last hour made me feel and that’s what I hope to see MORE of in the inevitable sequel. The original will always warm me and make someone lost find a way to open up for love, all while shutting out and down anything necessary to preserve it. It moved me like a Cohen brother film while questioning my morality. This sequel instead took Ellie’s blade and gutted me to look inside my character. Be ready, if you allow it you may learn a bit about yourself.

    This is not a revenge story, this is an adult story about pain, grief, regret and forgiveness, all things that were there also in the first game, and I am sad to see that a lot of people didn't even understood the first game at this point, if they thought something positive could come out by such an important final decision in a world full of hate that still lives on just hard survival. Hate that made these characters blind and ruthless, the same blind hate that is guiding users right now, they don't listen, they don't want to understand, they don't even try, they just proceed to go on with their hate, they just want their revenge, they just need a golf club and they will be exactly that character that is getting the most hate. Because the people we love are heroes, don't they ? They do no wrong, also when they clearly do.
    It shows exactly how much it is hard to deal with truth and pain, isn't it ironic ? Or it makes this game even more important ?
    Can't wait for Part 3, thank you so much for this amazing journey.

The hate seemingly comes from the anti-sjw crowd and is completely unwarranted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright, I decided to break my review down in regards as to why I scored this game an 8/10.
    To get this out of the way: The unnecessary amount of hate towards the LGBTQ+ representation. Yes, it is in this game, and it is not in any way shoved in your face more than straight counterparts. Trust me, it isn't. A game shouldn't be labeled 'political' because it has two human's in love or because it has a character that's in the wrong body. If you're a grown adult throwing a fit over this: Set the controller down and go educate yourself. Go ask that spoiled liberal niece/nephew or cousin of yours to help you out.
    With that out of the way, let me go over the graphics and sounds: Beautiful. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, I was blown away by them. There's a specific scene late in the game that made me cry from how it looked.
    And the sounds of clickers and other monsters through this game were utterly terrifying. There were moments where I wouldn't notice something until a noise came my way and suddenly I was on my toes trying to track it.
    The soundtrack itself is also excellently made, very spooky and haunting, a perfect fit for the tone of this game.
    On to the reason why most people hate this game: His death. When the events unfolded, I began crying and didn't stop. For context, I played this game in my freshman year of high school and now completed it at the end of my freshmen year of college. I have grown with these characters and have done at least one play through every year since.
    The death of such an influential character hurt my heart, but what people have to remember: He was not a good person. He was barely a good person in Ellie's eyes. He essentially dismantled the only group that brought hope to the world. Watching the way he died was so god awful and could have been done more tastefully, for sure. But the way people tore the game makers apart for this was sort of ridiculous. Have you never seen a main character die before, in any media? These people are in the apocalypse. The people that dealt the final blow were standing in front of the reason the apocalypse continued to happen. I'd be pretty pissed off too.
    Now, I understand the hate for Abby completely. She killed the main character. She devastated millions of people. I hated her when I began playing Ellie's story. And then we're forced to play her. And then I understood. Please, don't let those leaks be the only thing that effects how you view a character. I managed to steer clear of most of them, but after playing her character she grew on me and now I'm hopeful for the next chapter of this game being dedicated to her. Controversial? Yes. But damn, if she isn't powerful and such a strong character both emotionally and physically. I loved her.
    Ellie's story was also just as powerful and heartbreaking. I cried a lot playing her. Can you tell I'm emotional? She had a very broken and heart wrenching story this time around and at times I had to set the controller down to process what I had just played through. It finally shed light on the pain people hold when placed in these situations.
    As for the ending: I really understand why people hate it. I'm not a huge fan of it either. When I entered a certain part I thought the story was wrapping up, but instead it rushed through it. The worst part of the ending for me was when we're forced to fight Abby. Like I said, I enjoyed her story and loved her as a character but even then, it was so painful watching Ellie scream and release all of her emotions as she sliced her up. It was difficult to play, and in no way fun. That seems to be the issue for me: The game makers wanted people to (maybe?) grow attached to Abby and surely not tons of people did, but if that was their goal, why would we have to entire a 5 minute long sequence beating the **** out of her in front of her only reason to live? Awful. They missed the mark on that.
    And then obviously the story wraps up on a very open note for Ellie, which makes me unsure if her story is truly over.
    My guess? The next game will be about Ellie tracking a doctor down to finally access the cure and Abby will have to escort her or some **** because history repeats itself. But thats for another discussion.
    All in all, I recommend this game.

    Really loved the game. Game play, level design, graphics, acting and sound are excellent, just like in TLOU, even though I liked the soundtrack of the first game a bit better and some maps stretch out a bit too long (especially solo missions). To make it short: if you liked the first one, you'll love this one as well.

    As far as I can tell, all the negative reviews stem from fans who do

    As far as I can tell, all the negative reviews stem from fans who do not like where the story leads them. This has nothing to do with bad writing - on the contrary, I find it excellent (as with most ND games). The characters actions and motivations add up and everything progresses at a satisfactory pace. As for the (controversial) story, it fits into the TLOU universe. The elements of the story are not black and white as in good vs. evil. And the story doesn't have a Hollywood type, boring and overused ending. Its very unique and memorable, similar to the first title. It's exactly what I was expecting of TLOU2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Le pongo un 10 para compensar la media injusta de los usuarios haters. Realmente le pondría un 9, y ahora el análisis. Tlou 2 me parece un juegazo, gráficamente es bestial, tiene unos detalles flipantes. Respecto a la música, Gustavo Santaolalla ha hecho un buen trabajo y suena increíble. El gameplay es brutal, el control de los personajes y todas las armas que nos dan son brutales y las mecánicas de movimiento también.Y ahora la historia: entiendo lo que querían hacer, era una buena idea pero la han contado un poco mal, querían hacer que Abby nos gustase, para eso deberían haber contado su historia al principio, para ponernos en situación. Y el final tan críticado me parece un punto y final perfecto para Joel y Ellie, y si los creadores tienen que contarnos algo más que lo hagan. Nada más.

    Mis felicitaciones a Neil Druckmann y a su equipo. Espero las facciones multijugador (y si hay esperanza otro juego).

Prosperamos con las críticas negativas, divertidas de escribir y de leer, pero la triste verdad que debemos afrontar es que en el gran orden de las cosas, cualquier basura tiene más significado que lo que deja ver nuestra crítica. Pero en ocasiones el crítico si se arriesga cada vez que descubre y defiende algo nuevo, el mundo suele ser cruel con el nuevo talento; las nuevas creaciones, lo nuevo, necesita amigos. Anoche experimente algo nuevo; una extraordinaria cena de una fuente singular e inesperada. Decir solo que la comida y su creador han desafiado mis prejuicios sobre la buena cocina, subestimaría la realidad; me han tocado en lo más profundo. En el pasado jamás oculte mi desdén por el famoso lema del chef Gusteau: Cualquiera puede cocinar. Pero al fin me doy cuenta de lo que quiso decir en realidad; no cualquiera puede convertirse en un gran artista, pero un gran artista puede provenir de cualquier lado. Es difícil imaginar un origen más humilde que el del genio que ahora cocina en el restaurante Gusteau´s y quien, en opinión de este critico, es nada menos que el mejor chef de Francia. ¡Pronto volveré a Gusteau´s hambriento!

Joel antes vivia cauteloso demais, jamais confiaria em estranhos da firma que confiou. Porém, depois de alguns anos em Jackson passou a viver uma vida mais tranquila e assim sentindo-se menos perseguido. Sem cobrar que, quem comete o erro fatal é Tommy ao revelar Seus nomes. O jogo te mostra dois lados da mesma história e faz isso de uma forma incrível. Expand

    truthfully, I am disappointed in writing and the direction... it all seems like it was done to spite someone(the fans) instead of telling a good story. However there are a lot of pro's if you look deep, a lot of talented artists worked themselves to the bone to create the game, and we cannot overlook that nor can we overlook the story of the game, but still here are some pros!

    the performances of the mocap actors is great, even if the script is dreadful!

    the sound design is great!

    the graphics looks very good, really really dark and glum setting, it may not be my favorite taste but it fits the story they were attempting to tell, the artists spent a long time creating it and they did a good job doing so!

    there are very little bugs or glitches in the AI, the direction of the game is very poor in terms of being so liner but it runs smoothly for what it does!

    the story is awful and spiteful and a throw away attempt at best of trying to tell a sequel, but there is some really honest hard work put into it, and I think we must as critics remember that the artists have to follow the creative leads. so we cannot blame everyone for a game turning out badly, instead the people whom were at the helm of the ship guiding them into shark invested waters in a slowly leaking life raft with blood already in the water.

    Cheers H.O.

    PS the game is really bad, don't buy it its a waste of money.

    A technological masterpiece, with a dramatic and emotional story.

    I played the game from start to finish over the course of 5 days on survivor difficulty. It took me 39.5 hours, so it's safe to say it had me hooked. I don't normally review here, because I think the site is terrible, but I feel the need to speak up against the dumb bandwagon happening right now with my own thoughts on the title.

    The story is, in my opinion, fantastic. There are hard-hitting moments pretty much from the get-go, that serve to fuel the rest of the story. I had such moments spoiled for me, by a very sour person who seen I was anticipating the game. I knew what was coming, but it did not take away any of the impact of the event.

    The key thing is, lots of people seem to think you're expected to like a certain character which (while I did come to like the character) is not necessary. You're expected to understand the character's backstory and motivations, and if you're paying attention you'll even notice some parallels between this character, and another character that we all love.

    The story often turns back the clock, looking at events from the first game, and just after the game, expanding on some of the narrative points the first game told. To me, this makes this sequel extremely justified to exist.

    Gameplay-wise, the game is thrilling. It's a mix of stealth akin to MGSV, but with its own style on it where even on the hardest difficulty, you can strike enemies, be seen, but dive back into the shadows. It feels like you're constantly playing dirty to get the upper hand in a fight (maybe less so in lower difficulties where ammo isn't as sparse). This is really damn satisfying.

    There are 2 things I want to give a particular shout out to.. the gore and the animation quality. The gore is visceral, and I bloody loved it. The detail they go into with the gore makes kills so satisfyingly tactile. You blow people up, and you'll watch chunks of meat stuck on the ceiling slowly drop off for the next few seconds. You headshot someone near a wall, and you'll watch brains slowly slide down the newly painted surface.

    The animation is *chefs kiss*. I've never seen it done so well before. The motion matching technology they've used adds so much depth to the characters' shifting of weight while remaining extremely responsive to every action you take. Like genuinely, I feel like other games are slightly ruined now because the animation quality here is so top-notch.

    The accessibility options are stunning. They have upwards of 100 features dedicated to the accessibility of the game, which is such an achievement.

    And look, this review will be marked as not helpful. It's up to you whether you want to trust the opinion of someone who took the time to write out their thoughts after playing the game for 40 hours, or to trust someone who spammed "garbage" until they met the character limit.

    But it's not possible to understand that without playing at least a few hours... And about that LGBT and other drama things : who cares ? This was already known from the first game (Left Behind DLC), and why should it be a problem ? Regarding Abby, it's another thing and is fully explained in... the story ! And I mean the real one, not the faked leaked one or the **** you can read anywhere on this metacritic user Reviews page...

    Thank you so much Naughy Dog and Neil Drukmann for this piece of art. Please for the third one, raise the volume music a little. Your music is incredible, so please give it honor like in the first game. Otherwise, perfect match for me, thanks again ! :)

    Another masterpiece by ND. Story is is great but the execution could be a bit better. I think if you’ve played the first game or are generally curious about picking this up...... I’d say DO IT! don’t let review bombers say you away from enjoying one of the best games this generation by one of the top developers.

    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.
