    The Last of Us was built on a strong story, very well told, with a sensational script, which made a deep connection between the player and the characters. At The Last of Us 2 there is simply no logic in the events, it seems that there is no script, and they simply ended the narrative to defend a political / social agenda. As a fan it hurts me to say that, but they ended up with The Last of Us.

    Womp womp. Its comes down to story, your a passanger in a narrative car crash with no control. Some people will like it, a lot more will hate it, Im the latter. Rental if you wanna experience this dissapointed for yourself. Even that would be a waste of money.

    Graphically looks excellent. Gameplay is mediocre; while in a battle with enemies, it’s pretty good. When you’re doing anything other than engaging enemies, it’s boring. So, split the difference and it’s average. You’re compelled forward by the narrative. And that’s where the game falls apart.

There’s no satisfaction as you progress; it’s one nihilistic cutscene after another where there’s nothing but pain and anguish and hurt and loss and death. I guess that’s what the game wants, but it makes for a miserable experience. Doesn’t help that the dev engages in character dissonance to force fit his story. Painful storytelling. Buy this in a couple months in a $5 bin. Slightly below average as a game and an awful AAA title.… Expand

    This is a beautiful game period. Design and attention to detail was flawless, the fight sequences were great as well. I love TLOU so I can’t hate too much, but it is a flawed game. What made me give it less than a ten is the Abby part, way too long. Somethings in the plot I wish were different. I love the inclusion of the LGBTQ and the transgender communities into the game as well.

The graphics are amazing. The landscape looks SO GOOD in 4K. You could pour dozens of hours in photo mode alone. The fight sequences are smooth and some of the most brutal outside of mortal kombat. Anyone who has played the first game MUST pick this up. There’s a lot of bad press on this one, people are mad the story didn’t go the way “they wanted”. Please do yourself a favor, play the game before you make a judgement. You won’t regret it!… Expand

The way that it's forces you to shift perspectives and gain empathy for characters who are normally more one dimensional is pretty genius. That and the very grim, in-your-face depiction of cycles of vengeance and brutality at it's most mf'ing brutal (You're supposed to feel that way btw. It's emotional manipulation, like all entertainment.) I think if you liked the first game you'll like this. It's more of the same...uh...mostly. Way more intense and creeped me out thoroughly at some points. So so good!… Expand

El juego yo lo veo mejor que el primero con creced y no es un juego de 5.6 ni de broma.

    La jugabilidad no simple ni tampoco demasiado compleja. Se te da una libertad increíble a la hora de encuentros tanto con infectados como con humanos. El sigilo no esta puesto solamente por darte la oportunidad de hacer las cosas fácilmente, está hecho igual o incluso mejor que el combate directo. No es el típico juego en el que matas a 9 tipos que ni se enteran de que has matado a sus compañeros, los enemigos eventualmente hablaran entre ellos y se percatarán de que los has matado. Cuando vean que has matado a sus compañeros se volverán más brutos con tal que matarte, gritarán e incluso llorarán cuando vean el cadáver. El combate directo tiene muchas mecánicas nuevas, como poder agarrar a los enemigos y ponerlos en medio para evitar terminar como un colador de mercadillo e incluso pedirán piedad. Los combates están llenos de tácticas por parte de los enemigos con una inteligencia artificial maravillosa.

    La climatización, inmersión y mutilación es increíble. El juego tiene más detalles y gráficos que incluso el Red Dead Redemption 2. Hazte la idea de que Ellie tiene una mochila, bueno, los cierres de la mochila se mueven al caminar. Dependiendo del arma y trayectoria de la bala se formarán agujeros en los cuerpos. Si disparas con escopetas, destrozarás a tu adversario, lo mandarás a Narnia a él o a sus extremidades. El cuerpo a cuerpo está perfecto, se aprovecha mucho el escenario.

    La historia del juego es una maravilla también. Los personajes están muy bien hechos, todos con su debida personalidad la cual nunca es afectada de forma ridícula.    … Expand

On brand for The Last Of Us series, it presents a dark, morally grey glimpse into a horrifying world. Violence is necessary, but also emotionally punished. Loss is commonplace and often leads to cycles of revenge. The nuanced thematics separate this game from others of the genre. It is incredibly effective at making the player connect with these characters who struggle so profoundly. The one issue I had with the game thematically was its anti-violence was achieved through gratuitous violence throughout. That said, it is difficult to achieve such a strong effect without this contradiction. The gameplay is fun, but there is a reason it has a reputation for questionable stealth mechanics and “idiotic” AI. Often predictable and occasionally baffling, the AI typically has a great deal of difficulty finding the player whilst in plain view. The gunplay can feel clunky as well, though feels very satisfying when making impressive shots. At times, the clunky gun mechanics feels immersive. I’m sure I would have trouble switching between various weapons in any situation, including an apocalyptic wasteland teeming with deadly zombies and deadlier tribes of violent humans. Most of the time, the gun mechanics would be frustrating, though not game ruining. The visuals fluctuate between beautiful at worst and stunning at best. The imagining of urban environments in the process of being retaken by nature is wondrous and haunting. A great deal of time was spent during my play through just taking in all the intricate details of the scenery. A game earns high marks for visual storytelling when one often stumbles upon scenes and can tell what happened before the player arrived with no words needed. The Last Of Us Part 2 is a force of imagination, thematics, visual storytelling, and excitement. It falls into familiar pitfalls other stealth based games struggle to overcome, but ultimately provides and incredibly compelling 20-30 hours of gameplay and leaves the player with a great deal to contemplate upon completion.… Expand

This may seem corny, but I took the game personally, because it's a beautiful and moving story. I just wanted to put it out there to thank the creators and the staff that took the time to make this videogame as well as recommend it to fellow gamers.

    As a comment to all the negative ratings, I get it. Some people just find it hard to empathize. Especially today, where the story is always 'Us' vs. 'Them'. I disagree with these people. I especially disagree with those who also hate the fact that the characters happen to be part of the LGBTQ+ community.

    Also, it's not an issue that they killed a character. No one is invincible. It's incredibly stupid to believe that just because a character was popular, they can't die. This is hypocritical. Why should the producers appeal to the cheapness of popularity? The videogame dared to be bold, and they did a great job.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this game without any spoilers and expected it to be good, but not as good as it actually was. I understand the anger and frustration people feel with this game, but I actually feel like over time people will begin to appreciate the true beauty and genius of it. In this world, things can happen in an instant. You can never expect something to go perfectly, and this case Joel’s death. Along with Jessie, etc. The irony of Ellie and abby’s stories being almost identical is incredible. It sends a message of reality and different perspectives! They both did the right thing, going after revenge for their fathers right? In this story neither of them are in the right. It’s funny because I absolutely adore Joel in every shape And form. But he wasn’t the best man in the last of us 1. He was older. Softer and comfortable in the second one. He changed, but it wasn’t all puppies and rainbows. From an unbiased stand point you cannot deny the absolute legendary this game is. I LOVE the perspective, I LOVE that naughty dog didn’t just give the players everything perfect and what they dreamed of. Because life isn’t like that, especially in that world. Just breathtaking and a beautiful new outlook!!… 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... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
