    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t know why there is so much hate from users about this game. Yes is sucks that Joel got killed and how he was killed, but that is what is supposed to make the user feel Ellie’s pain and seek revenge. Mission accomplished. While playing Abby’s story, you see a bit of Joel and Ellie in her relationship with Lev. Ellie chooses to show some compassion as she sees this relationship in the end. Ellie is left alone, sad and with no real purpose left in her life. What would getting revenge have gained her? Another Joel and Ellie story would have been fine to appease the masses, but I thought it was nice that the devs tried to move the game forward beyond just the 2 characters. I guess you will either love it or hate it. Either way, the game is a technical marvel. It’s the most gorgeous game I’ve ever seen on any current platform. The combat is fun, anxiety enduring, frustrating, and a blast to play. All of the tiny details painstakingly put into the game are amazing. Imagine how much time they spent coding the rope and cable physics alone into this game. The controls are fluid from crafting, to switching weapons, to interacting with the environment. Animations are all spot on and create a real world feel. The cutscenes are the beat I’ve seen in any game. The atmosphere just draws you in. Did I mention the visuals? Jaw dropping on a 4K OLED panel with HDR. If you don’t play this game for the reason that Joel died, you are doing yourself an injustice. The game is truly a masterpiece.… Expand

    Me parece un juego genial, y su historia me parece bastante buena. Las críticas negativas me parecen que esconden algo de homofobia y no tienen en cuenta la situación y todo el contexto en el que se desarrolla el juego. Son totalmente subjetivas por el simple echo de hacer algo que no les gusto lo tildan de lo peor.

Sometimes just an obstacle turns out to be one of the highlights of the game.

    Most importantly the story. It is a vehemence.
    You get the chance to play a game that could not be more gray in terms of what or who is right. At frist it was kind of weird to switch and actually the the story from another perspective .Espacially because you are switching at a really important moment of the story. But after taking and going that way till the end it all makes sense and it can only fullfill all its strength of storytelling by doing exactly that. You are playing hero and bad guy at the same time.

    What can I say about the score. I just love Gustavo Santaolalla s music. It is fully driven by emotions and it gave me goosebumps multiple I am sorry but I can‘t take the writing system of this internet mobile phone page anymore. It is too buggy.

    The Last of Us 2 is a work of art. I really don't get the hate for this one. It's masterful in its storytelling and it's my favorite part about it. The way they decide to tell this story, it really gets your emotions going. You feel some way about certain things and then later you feel another way. Everything the first game sets up comes to a heart shattering reality in this powerful sequel

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a good game overall and it really pulled me into the atmosphere. Story had some holes and I think they pulled the whole Abby thing out of no where but Ellie handled it like I thought she would. I read people saying she let Abby go for no reason but she let him go because she finally saw he was at peace. I liked Dina unlike most people but I hate that the game put me against Tommy. It was expected. Ellie losing her fingers and family hurt the most. She said in the first one she feared being alone and we left off with her having lost everyone. I hope they make another and try to fix things. I still have hope.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a truly fantastic game being given 1/10s by two kinds of people: people who are who attached to what they *wanted* the game to be and people who haven't played the game at all. This is "Part II" and not a sequel in the truest sense - it's a continuation of all of the themes and plot points and ideas that came out of the end of the first game. Yes, Joel dying made perfect sense after what he did. It was always likely and it was absolutely given its due weight.

    -Ellie sets off on the warpath, but as you proceed through her section of the game, you find out more about her increasingly complicated relationship and eventual falling out with Joel after she found out what happened in Salt Lake City, adding a complicated layer to her motives for going after Abby. What's she really after? What's going on in her head?

    -You spend the first half of the game hating Abby... until you get to her part of the game, learn about her background, and spend three days with her that are written as a parallel to Joel's arc in the first game. 90% of the people who are complaining about her fall into the latter group mentioned at the top - people who haven't played the game at all.

    -I'm tempted to give the game a 9/10 because I don't quite think it sticks the landing. The reasons for Ellie apparently forgiving and moving on from Joel (and not killing Abby) are kind of muddled - it's presented as though the flashbacks to her time with Joel make her change her mind, but it's not really clear why she remembers the particular moments she does at the moments she does. Why go all the way to Santa Barbara only *then* to decide to forgive Joel while her hands are around Abby's neck? It almost works, but I don't think it quite does.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es una maravilla conocer la historia de en este caso 2 protagonistas como lo es ellie y abby que lo perdieron todo incluso lo que mas amaban como sus padres ya que ellie consideraba a johel como un padre ponernos en la piel de las 2 y ver todo lo que pasaron nos hace ver dos perspectivas aunque como amantes de la saga preferimos a ellie por el cariño que le tenemos. Respecto a la venganza me parece bien que ellie trate de matar a la persona que le arrebato lo que mas queria es doloroso incluso para nosotros de jugadores ver la muerte de johel vamos es johel pero fue una buena decicion para que la historia continuara el proposito de la venganza auque las cosas se fueron tornando no todo surge tal como lo tienes previsto no todo lo es este objetivo de solo vengarse y sentirse bien esto va mas alla. Ellie no fue la mejor con johel en muchas ocaciones como lo fue en la ultima platica que tuvieron ellie no podia perdonar a johel por lo que hiso sabiendo johel que lo qie hiso no fue del todo correcto las cosas traen consecuencias como lo es la relacion de ellie con johel talves si no hubieran peleado entre ellos esa noche despues de la fiesta ellie no sintiera el dolor de nisiquiera perdonar a la persona que mas queria arrebatarle esa oprotunidad a ellie de perdonarlo es lo que motiva a elllie a matar a abby. dos personas buscando el mismo objetivo en un inicio.Ellie sintio en ultimo momento que al final no era lo correcto matar a abby rompio ese ciclo de venganza. Perdonando a johel por medio de Abby. Algo que no pide hacer mediante Johel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't tell you what to feel, and you shouldn't let other people tell you either. This is a game you need to play with an open mind, especially if you played the first one. I'm here to tell you to form your own opinion and thoughts without listening to the heard. I'm not here to form your opinion, but one thing is for sure - it's worth the playthrough.

    As expected the visuals are stunning all the way. With 7 years on the last game, this one has even improved visually, which is saying alot.

    The characters seem well thought out and developed - in world like this, perfect is a word you would never use to describe any person in the game. It's easy to hate a character you don't care about, even if they survive and live the same way as the character you like. It's a complicated story and needs critical thinking to be understood for what it is, no matter the emotion you might feel.

    The gameplay is intense and dark, but it has some really nice moments. Remember Joel saying along these lines in the 1st game: "no matter what, you always find something worth fighting for". Although not uncommon in these types of games, this is something you really see in this game. Emotions run high and the stress levels stay peaking. Never a dull moment.

    The game also feels like its tweaked perfectly from the first one. Enemies are more personalized and
    advanced. It sort of feels like Naughty Dog fullfilled wishes I didn't know I had in that sense. Some aspects feel more realistic and you feel more agaile as you're playing. This game is also very accessible, which is awesome! Also, hats off to Naughty Dog for showing gay characters!

    Playing this game was a wonderful rollercoaster of a journey. The thoughts I have collected over the past 7 years about what the game might be didn't matter once I started. I would never be mad at them for not making what I had hoped or made up in my head, because it is a good game. At the end of the day, you have to see it for what it is, not what you want it to be.

    I would recommend altering your mindset if your going in with certain expectations, people need to realize they're not the ones making the game. If you don't like the story, that is your opinion. But please, for the creators and yourselves - give the game a fair chance. It's not **** You might not like it, but that doesn't give you the right to tell people not to buy it or say it garbage. Your opinion is simply yours, and should not ruin for others. No one is forcing you to like it, don't let people make you hate it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After playing THE LAST OF US PART II it took me a while to find the right words to review this game.
    Having not read any leaks, this story is not what I expected, but that's exactly what makes this game so powerful! Naughty Dog plays with all your emotions - and at one point you might think to yourself "I don't want to do this anymore".
    But this is not simply a story of revenge and hate, it's a story of love, rage, loss, and - above all - forgiveness.

    Yes, killing of one of the two main characters is not what we wanted to see, but it shows us, that this post-apocalyptic world is relentless and every decision has its consequences. This is not only true for Joel - his decision to save Ellie at the end of Part 1 dooms humanity, makes Ellie eventually hate him and ultimately kills him - but also for Ellie.

    How much are you willing to risk to get your revenge? For Ellie the answer to this question seems to be "everything". And only "everything" is good enough to travel through this harsh and cruel world. Yes, Joel's death was a punch in every gamers face, but it was necessary.
    For a long time he was Ellie's "everything", the only one who cared for her. Think about that scene in the first game when she says "Everyone I have cared for has either died, or left me. **** except for you!" - she had no one, and now her "father" is gone.
    The flashbacks during THE LAST OF US PART II help us to understand their relationship in the past few years. The amazing museum-sequence shows us how full of love this relationship is, yet other flashbacks let us see Ellie's scepticism about Joel's firefly-lie and her absolute disappointment when she finds out the truth.
    These flashbacks are crucial to the emotional roller coaster this game is - and they are crucial to understand how everything plays out in the end.

    Having to play as Abby for a big part of the game was frustrating, seemed unnecessary at times and even made me angry. it felt like Naught Dog wanted you to like this person - and I wasn't ok with that at first. But without knowing her story, getting to know her character and intentions, she would have been just another villain. Yet her story is quite similar to Ellie's.

    But while Abby seems to become more and more humane, Ellie's development goes the other way.
    Losing Joel fills her with so much hate that she seems to have no mercy for anyone. She kills everyone who tries to get in her way, not even hesitating to use torture. The lovely, intelligent and nimble-witted teenager turns into an almost emotionless killing machine. And when she throws away her life with Dina on the farm, the character we once loved seems to have vanished. But this final seek for revenge is her only way to find closure.

    And this final payoff is probably not enough for many gamers.
    But fighting Abby to absolute exhaustion and seeing Abby's and Lev's suffering is all Ellie needs to find closure - to be humane again. At this point she might not find forgiveness for Abby but for Joel.
    And Ellie sitting at the beach, crying, was the most gut-wrenching moment I've seen in a long time.

    Over all, the plot could've been more pleasing, since some major plot decision seem to be pointless, but I think in the end, it fits together beautifully and tells a human story that is full of emotions. it had me crying in the end - and what more do you want from a video game?
    Everyone can write a happy ending, but choosing to go the difficult road elevates this this game to a new level.

    Gameplay: as fun as the first game. Some great new additions: crawling, silencer, different training manuals...
    Graphics: stunning. Every detail looks amazing and especially the characters look extremely realistic. Also superb acting - another wonderful performances by Ashley Johnson.
    Music & sound: the music plays a big part in making this game so emotional. Best moment is probably Ellie singing "Take on me".

    For me it's an absolute masterpiece!    … Expand

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
