    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER ALERT: I feel terrible expressing myself how I'm about to do about a franchise that has such a space in my heart. The last of us 2 is great when it comes to the 1-2 hours of the game, because you're excited of what is happening and it's been so long since the first game so it just really makes you feel like you're a part of something massive (like you live in that world). The gameplay itself throughout the whole game I think is superb and without going into much detail the main thing about it is that I still felt the authenticity that the first game had, which a lot of sequels can really lose. Sure it didn't as many puzzles etc, but the core of the gameplay felt really similar to the first one with added features/moves, bigger open world. And then the story... It genuinely made me feel like the writer or whoever did this to us, wanted to literally spit in our faces. I know that they told us to keep an open mind and I know we're not professional critics, however the consumer's opinion should matter the most in these cases I believe. With that being said, Joel's death, Abby's parts, really disappointing moments of the game. I can't count how many friends told me that when they were playing with Abby, they'd intentionally get munched on a clicker or jump of a cliff to kill her off with the hope of her not coming back. The false sense of hope that Joel survived in some magical way throughout the whole game and the wishful thinking that we get to get revenge and kill Abby. It just keeps you going through the game hoping for these things and then at the end you feel like you've wasted approx 20 hours of your life (I did it in hard mode so idk if that's a good amount or not), because it feels like it was all for nothing. And I get the reason behind it, the fact that you need to forgive and that Abby had a solid reason to seek revenge herself and that Ellie's a better person and realized that this is not the way. I just don't give a damn about all of that. If this was the first game and we didn't get to live as the characters and make them make us feel like we're apart of the apocalypse that they're in, I would've probably loved this game. But it's just really strange to me that this Abby was just thrown in and we were made to accept her (which didn't happen no matter how much I wrapped my head around why and what.) Overall, for the experience and for these long 7 years, the game does deserve the attention and to at least finish it, we're all in the same ride now and it's just how it is. The teams that made this game are incredibly talented and they had to put in tremendously hard work to make it a great game, it was sadly overwhelmed by the plot itself and I'm sorry, but there's no way you'll make me believe that there is sense to it. I do really hope they make a 3rd game prior to acknowledging that the writing side of things did not turn out to be a success and then they can somehow try and bring back the amazing plot feel that the first game had.… Expand

As we learned from the development team that told us that the Last of us Part ll game will have a story about resentment, we probably have already seen that what the development team says is not only the resentment of Ellie, just people. But it was the story of Abby's resentment, but the story broke on both sides between the vengeance, but I didn't feel good about it.… Expand

Do not expect to be told a heroic story. In the second half of the game, a concept story is defined for you. Unfortunately, many people do not understand it. FU#K ALL OF YOU :) wait to see it as goty

    В игре очень хорошая графика, визуал, музыка, стрельба, внимание к деталям и сюжет (ВАЖНО над ним подумать, это не простая игра где тебе все преподносят на блюдечке).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Parte 2 no es el juego que esperábamos, pero es el que se tenía que hacer.
    Es un videojuego atípico. El hate proviene mayormente por el personaje de Abby, la supuesta villana del juego.
    Casi en la mitad del juego jugamos con ella, dándonos la perspectiva de la historia desde el punto de vista del "villano".
    Esto nos hace ver y escuchar su historia, haciéndonos entender que nadie es bueno.
    Lo que pasa, es que cuando las grandes empresas apuestan por algo nuevo, tod@s saltan a decir que es una falla argumental, que son imbéciles en Naughty Dog, etc.
    Jugabilidad increíble, y una historia audaz y hermosa.

    Simply the best game ever! I was not 100% sure if the ND could create Part 2 better then Part 1, but they did. The dialogs, battles, cutscenes, characters, etc. are just "no words". And I'm ready to wait for another 6-8 years for Part 3.

The game was enjoyable at some points, the graphics are amazing and some new functions added but largely the gameplay is outdated and does not have enough depth to keep the player really engaged. All i found myself doing for long periods is skimming around the sides of room spamming triangle to pick up either pills, scissors or some tape. it gets tedious & repetitive so quickly and the narrative/story doesn't really add anything except shock deaths.. which also gets boring because they do it over and over again and doesn't help the story is any meaningful way. The story really is poor & riddled with cheap conveniences that drive the story forward, i cant believe i'm writing this about a N.D game but there are lot of failures here and that is reflected in the user score. They've tried to be risky and deliver something that hasn't seen before (which is great) but instead of staying true to the games origins and characters and be innovative, its ultimately executed in the most pretentious way and falls down hard. They said this game wasn't fun and i totally agree, its utterly miserable, hollow and soulless.… Expand

    Ellie wants to kill Abby the gives up tries to kill her again but gives up tries to kill her again and then right when she's about to kill her she gives up.
    Also they kill Joel the best character in the previous game in the dumbest way possible and then make me play the character that killed him.

    This is the best game I've ever played, the story is miles ahead of the current narrative of videogames and elevates the story and the characters to a more human and meaningful level.
    Is so much deeper than the first one and questions not only the humanity of the character but also the players.

    Bravo!

Sofreu varias análises de haters, que não expressam a verdade sobre o game. Continuação muito aprimorada do primeiro episódio. nota 10, candidato a jogo do ano.

En donde este juego me parte el alama, y parece que esta hecho PARA CABREAR a los fans, es en su guion, su narrativa y las drasticas decisiones adoptadas. Hay gente que lo justifican diciendo que son decisiones valientes, y es cierto, son valientes, pero no puedes adoptar decisiones que nadie quiere, y que cabrean al jugador.

    Worst game ever. So much disappointment. Boring gameplay, no logic in plot. Technically graphics are good, animations are good. Story is aweful. Bad character design. Bad character development. Plot holes. If you want to see animations and graphics and check the story of this game - watch it at youtube. Otherwise, its just waste of time and money.

    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.
