    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have just finished the the last of us part 2 and after playing 25+ hours finding all the stories and notes and everything there is in the game I have come to the conclusion that this is the best game that has ever been made both in gameplay and in story this game made me cry more times than I can count and honestly showed how dark and gloomy this world is and where the main focus is surviving at all costs. I wish that Joel didn’t die but I see why this had to happen because Ellie’s story would have been completely different if it was tommy or anyone else Ellie loved Joel and you could see that all the way through but like teenagers do they don’t like to show emotions to look weak and that honestly is a unbelievable detail but Ellie wasn’t going to stop no matter what to avenge Joel but she realised at the end that she went too far killing all those people for one person. I think that the ending was perfect because by the end of the story I didn’t want to fight Abby at all because she was just doing anything to survive and she nearly died so many times by the end she doesn’t even care about dying.

    I think Abby is one of the greatest characters ever to be in a video game and yes I **** hated her for killing Joel and I was thinking about not even playing the game when I saw the leaks but by the end of the game my whole opinion on Abby changed and that’s because she finally saw that what she did was wrong and seeing the people around her die she saw that she wasn’t doing the right thing anymore and Lev was such a huge part of that when her mum dies Abby becomes like a surrogate mother like Joel becomes a surrogate farther in the original and would do anything to protect her from dying she sees what the wolf’s are doing is wrong and that the scars are just defending themselves from what the wolves caused and that’s amazing. Abby went through hell in this game more than Ellie I mean that monster infected thing OMG didn’t I **** myself that was crazy but I honestly started to see her side of the perspective she was doing what Joel was doing for he met Ellie and Abby did the same before she met lev.

    I honestly think the ending isn’t a sad one like everyone is saying I think it’s a passing of the hatred and pain that has caused Ellie to want to kill abby and her friends at all costs and passing of the hate towards Joel like in the epilogue it shows that they were going to get better and go on more adventures and I just wish Joel said one line and that would be the following when walks off “Ellie I love you and you know when I said that you aren’t my daughter in that cabin you are to my daughter that’s why I did what I did”

    I think the flashbacks are also unbelievably cute and amazing the dinosaurs and space scenes literally made me feel like a kid and honestly I smiled like crazy and the game definitely needed those breaks because there needed to be some hope which most of the game there wasn’t

    I loved all the characters especially Dina lev Abby and Ellie they were my favourites and of course my man Joel who will be forever alive to me.

    I think this game is miles better than the original the art work graphics gameplay animations everything is absolutely the best a PS4 can offer I suggest anyone that hasn’t played the game and is putting bad reviews play the game through and let yourself be moved into the world.

    Honestly this game has to be game of the year and nearly game of the century absolutely stunning and a masterpiece loved every second of it 10/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a great game. The graphics are one of the best I've ever seen. The story show us different types of life's perspectives, Abby has a good argument in the narrative because she is the daughter of the scientist who knew the way to cure the virus, he suffered a lot, more than Ellie (she killed all the Abby's friends). This is not a Disney story it's crude, rude and to me show what real life is.… Expand

    No multiplayer that the first Last of Us had. I couln't play anymore after just playing 45 minutes into it. They need to remake the events on this game. Graphics and gameplay don't matter if the story completely turns you away.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An honest review,

    Let me first start with this. I actually enjoyed playing TLOU2. It was a great experience and I loved seeing the new game mechanics, characters and infected that were implemented.

    [STORY]

    I think it's safe to say that a few things should've been different. Even though the story is beautiful, it has its flaws.

    This is how it should have been in my opinion:

    You start the game as Abby, making her way to Jackson. Without the player know why their going there, they come across obstacles and other survives. You get to play the flashbacks of her father and everything.
    Slowly along the way you get to hints to why you are going to Jackson.

    Then, you find Joel and Tommy and make your way to the villa. And the cut-scene starts. Maybe ending at: Abby: That's 'cause they have

    Following this you start to play as Ellie in Jackson, doing the patrol and eventually ending up at the villa. Here you see Joel's death.

    From here on out the game is like it is now, you go on the hunt for Abby.

    [ENDING]

    I'm not sure how I feel about the ending of the game. Its good that Ellie realizes what she is doing, but it doesn't make sense that she does after killing hundreds of people.

    And its a good ending in a way, but it is extremely sad to see Ellie in the end with nothing left.

    So in a way i agree with the ending and I also don't.

    [CHARACTERS]

    I've seen a few reviews about people being mad that the game has been made about #MeToo and feminism.
    I don't mind the orientation or anything about the characters. But having all main characters female and have a strong characteristic: Gay, Transgender, Hulk. makes it feel kind of forced in my opinion.
    I feel like the characters would have been better with Abby being more realistic, more like Tess...
    This would have made a difference in other people's opinions I think.

    [MUSIC]

    Just a little thing about the music. The music is good, but the music of the first game was waaaay better.

    [CONCLUSION]

    As you can probably tell by my review, I feel like the story and characters could have been better.

    BUT... I do think Naughty Dog made an amazing game. I think that they achieved something, just look at the emotional reactions everyone is giving.

    So again the story is good, because its very emotional. But it should have been different
    The characters are okay, but could have been different.
    And game play wise, it was amazing. Loved the level design and enemies.

    Greetings,

Great work by the cast, voice actors and actresses, wired and designers. The work and time they spent polishing the game shows.

    Naughty Dog did something few other games do and that is to make me sit back and really contemplate all of the details and nuances and hard topics that are in the world today. I really love their attention to detail in their story telling. It's games like this that make me love single-player games and that would have me pre-ordering whatever Naughty Dog puts out.    … Expand

    This is why I never trust "professional" critic this is a good game but to call it 9 or 10 out of 10 is laughable. For one, no game is 10 out 10. The story is all over the place and it is a huge disappointment compared to the first game. The gameplay is pretty good though with some fantastic AI.

    I'ld go with an 9,5/9,6. So I think a 10 is closer to the game's grade in my opinion.

    Such a grate game, one month since I've played and I still catch myself think about it.
    Amazing graphics, superb map design, incredible gameplay, realistic cutscenes, perfect soundtrack and sound effects. The story might desappoint some, but in my opinion it is very valid and groundbreaking

El juego gráficamente es hermoso, la ambición de Nauthidog a dado frutos y trajo a nuestras manos una de las mejores escuelas, y a mi parecer el juego del Año, mucha gente le ha criticado por su historia, respecto a esto The Last Of Us 2 tuvo uno de los mejores finales, lo más realista posible. Mucha gente no comprende esto pero les invito a lo que se supone que debe ser el juego, pónganse en el lugar de Ellie y el sentimiento de redención que obtuvo como desarollo de personaje. Musica, lo mejor de Santaolalla haciendo capaz de sentir todos los sentimientos y loejor, la tención de juego hecho realidad.

    The Last Of Us Part II has an awesome story, 'cause it doesn't show only Ellie side, but Abby side too and I was angry with Abby until the game show us her side. I can't call Ellie a villain, I think she were really angry and I'd look like this. Simply, I loved this game, buy it.

This is truly a game that you have to play to its end. As a huge fan of the first game (my all time favorite video game, hands down) this installment gives the first a run for its money. It explores the consequences of the decisions made in the first.

    My only true issue with this game lies with its pacing, but upon playing it a second time it didn’t bother me at all because I wasn’t so anxious for the resolution. It truly has you on the edge of your seat the whole time, just dying to know what is going to happen next.

    To me, this game is scarier than its predecessor. It has more jump scares and has a darker energy overall. The graphics are unparalleled, and the level of detail that Naughty Dog put into this environment is incredible. So many small mechanics that no other video game has done before have been perfected in this game, it is shocking to me that it was on the PS4 and not the PS5 (and I do not have the pro, just the original launch version.) The acting, much like the first, is what really makes this game. All of the characters seem real and with their own strengths and weaknesses. Even the NPCs seem like real people and it makes Ellie’s journey even grittier. I could truly go on about this game forever. If you were a fan of the first game, you simply must play this one. There are dozens and dozens of easter eggs and innuendoes that reference the first installment. It pays homage to the first and then takes that story even further. 10/10.    … Expand

Элли была одержима гневом и злом после смерти Джоэла, и затем подумали, что игра лишь построена на мести.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
