    I've never been more disappointed in a game ever. I was a huge fan of the original and I think that's why I dislike this sequel so much. If you were a big fan of The Last of Us I strongly recommend to avoid playing part 2. This game will go down in history as the wrong way to make a sequel

Daré mi opinión después de pasarlo dos veces pasa empezar quiero recordar lo que me hizo sentir el primer juego no lo olvido nunca fue de los primeros juegos que me hacía sentir intrigado y emocionado de lo que vendrá no lo paraba de jugar pero no pasa en esta segunda parte, una obra maestra fue desperdiciada lo tenían todo para hacerlo un juegazo pero en cuestión de narrativa es la peor del año o de la generación, una historia forzada sin sentido te quieren hacer empatizar con un persona que no funciona momentos inexplicables, una pequeña parte piensa que este juego es odiado por escenas gay qué hay pero es lo de menos el problema no está ahí está en la historia es una verdadera m.... en cuestión de gráficos y jugabilidad ahí es su punto fuerte pero la historia hace que la jugabilidad se sienta forzada y repetitivo en algunas partes no llega a más la ira de la gente es justificativo y más si jugaron la primera parte, esta segunda parte es un insulto para los fans de la primera y en conclusión no es una obra maestra simplemente algo bueno que dará de hablar pero no por lo bueno que sea si no por qué no lleno las expectativas del consumidor.… Expand

    My Rating might look like I am being very biased or generous, but that's not the case I can assure you. The criticism game is getting is well deserved, yes you saw it right, I have never seen a game doing this to a player before, it makes player angry and dissatisfied at points, which is not what games are made for. It's such a different (bad/good) experience, it's like the bulbs when they were invented they were cool but unreliable so people preferred traditional lamps, but they paved the way for the modern lights we see today, that analogy doesn't fit exactly but I hope you got the point. It's a change which comes in generations the game brings a change just like what its predecessor did to story telling in gaming. The story which is talk of the town is multilayered and is not just like a movie but instead as a player you feel it, even the conflicts of character's and player's mind are well predicted in the story, its almost like a overlap between the two, like a player is a different part of character's mind, which is why its painful to continue the game sometimes. It doesn't matter if you chose a bulb or a traditional lamp as your lighting source now at the end you can't stop the evolution. It happened now with the generation's favourite game franchise can be understandably painful for some, but good part is its now a part of the history of this art form. To ease some pain and to help you learn along the game- 'It's not about what you achieve or whats at the end, it's about the journey.'

    Don't listen to people who wanted more of the same and cannot emotionally handle a more complex and ambitious game in terms of storytelling.

    Even with the divisive story, the gameplay, the graphics and the mechanics of the game are OUTSTANDING. Easily my favourite game ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Phenomenal game. It was such an emotional experience. the graphics are the best out there, the voice acting is incredible, and the gameplay is always so fun and intense. The story is also incredible, and it is the only game I actually cried in. There has been some criticism of the story. The main reason is Joel's death. People are mad at the disrespectful way he was killed and how they don't like Abby and her friends. There are also more reasons for the hate of this game, but I am just listing the two reasons I think are the main ones. About the reactions of Abby and her accomplices: People think that when they play a game they have to agree with everything that happens in it. That is not the case, especially in this game. This game gives you the facts of a situation, and lets you decide how to feel. About Joel's death: I agree that his death was disrespectful, but I think that the disrespectfulness of the death is a good thing, it shows you how violent and serious the world of The Last of Us 2 is. It also fuels the fire of hatred against Abby. Overall, it makes you think about what the characters do and what they are, and changes you as a person.… Expand

    Definitely one of the best game I have ever experienced since a couple of years. The story is unbelievably well written and heart-wrenching. The gameplay is extremely satisfying and challenging. The graphics are the best I’ve seen on a PlayStation console. Every aspect of the game was perfected to the very best.

    After completing the game, I can't help but be shocked thinking of all the reviews that paint a picture of this game that is average or even dismal. Starting with something I know everyone can agree on, the graphics and art design, LOU2 deserves more than a 3 or 4. We praise plenty of games that are entirely based around their art, even with shallow gameplay.

Starting with something I know everyone can agree on, the graphics and art design, LOU2 deserves more than a 3 or 4. We praise plenty of games that are entirely based around their art, even with shallow gameplay. Next, take the gameplay. I don't think anyone can argue that LOU2 gameplay isn't at least as good as the first game. And I think it's excellent. When a reviewer says they got bored finding supplies and ammo around the world or call the game easy due to problems with AI, I feel like they decided to play on a difficulty below their ability, and when someone plays as many games as they do, it tends to create skill. As a gamer with average skills, I've been challenged in a fair and meaningful way with the multitude of combat and crafting options. With those features alone, it seems like the game should be at least a 7 or 8. As for the characters and story, even if it seems like nonsense and has unexplained character actions, there are plenty of movies and games that ask us to suspend disbelief and "play along." I don't necessarily dislike all media that had stretches of logic. For Joel to be killed in the manner he was, it certainly provided a motive for revenge, but I'm wondering why players can't be flexible, even watching a tragic character death. Fine art should produce some kind of emotions and even take controvercial risks. I would rather have a game industry run by passionate risk takers than year-after-year Call of Duty factories.… Expand

    I thought the story was great, especially by video game standards where games like Nier Automata is considered having great writing... It is however definitely a bit indulgent in prioritizing story telling over everything else, like in having multiple extended playable flashbacks. And imo the game would have benefited from having some more cynical editors involved.

    The highlight for me is the gameplay, with both the stealth and the action being really great (especially the action). Almost all the fights manage to feel incredibly intense. On paper the gameplay mechanics are very similar to the first game, however it feels entirely different to play and is so much more fun.

    I highly recommend this game.    … 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.
