The gameplay, the story, the graphics and the sound all blew my mind; to find myself rooting for “that” character to pull through after how the game started in a testament to the storytelling and character development.… Expand

    La jugabilidad está bien. No es la quinta maravilla pero eso nunca fue importante realmente porque yo lo que busque en este juego fue su trama. La cual a sido una tremenda decepción. Un desarrollo narrativo pésimo que no cuadra con las personalidades que conocemos de los juegos.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's so fascinating how people are still fighting about this game and how divided the fan base is but if it wasn't clear before it should be now for all level headed people . The Last of Us 2 is not a masterpiece and it's not the worst game ever deserving of anything under a 4 (I get that people are trying to be heard but come on)

    So here's a few hot takes of mines as well since everyone has chimed in . Let's start of with some facts

    Is Joel disrespected in this game? No
    Is Abby a terrible character and a Mary Sue? **** Yes
    Are the side characters bad? Yes
    Is the pacing off and the game too long? Yes
    Is the story unsalvagable and/or complete trash? No
    Is the ending bad? Yes...somewhat
    Is the game woke? Yes
    Is the gameplay good? Absolutely
    Is the attention to detail award worthy? Most definitely

    Now let's break down those statements shall we?

    First of all Joel is not disrespected in this game in the slightest . Was the false trailers and fake interviews a **** move? Yes , is the slight retcon of the final events of the first game a ploy to further demonize his actions? Yes but that's as far as it goes . The entire story is dedicated around Joel and he is used to motivate you to do what you have to do and if that wasn't enough the end credit song if you pay attention to the lyrics is both sad and incredibly beautiful for both Ellie and Joel

    Second most talked about aspect of the game is of course Abby . Once again Neil Druckmann was caught lying that you only get to play as Ellie and that's undoubtedly a **** move no matter how you try to justify it but that wouldn't have been a problem if the character was you know ....good . I could go on and on with all the contrivances and **** plot points the game has to make you care for her but I'll just say that Abby is a Mary Sue and kindly direct you to TV Tropes just to see how many character trait boxes she checks . If after reading those you still aren't convinced then we have nothing further to discuss

    Thirdly we go the side characters who are mostly terrible . Dina is just OK and her relationship with Ellie has zero chemistry , Jesse is a pointless character and only there to be a sperm dispenser and a body for someone to kill (Seriously what happened to the teased love triangle?) , Tommy is all over the place being a badass the one second and a buffoon the next , Abby's friends are all annoying and you are glad to finally kill them despite the games efforts to make you care and the siblings are fine for what they are but their relationship with Abby is forced , manipulative and badly paced

    At number four we have the pacing/length . A lot of people liked the first open area with Ellie but I ****ing hated it as it was way WAY too long for it's own good and kills the opening hours of the game . Abby's trip to the aquarium also takes way too ****ing long and the pointless flashbacks do nothing but regurgitate stuff we already knew and beat you over the head with "hey they aren't so different after all and perspective matters" stuff which are fine in moderation but they took it way too far

    Fifth is the story and is it all bad? No but the writing is all over the place as you truly question if subsequent scenes were written by the same person . You go from cringe , to emotional to cringe , to compelled rinse and repeat

    Sixth is the ending and is it bad? Yes due to Abby's poor character development and the games super fun combat which gives mixed messages . I get the sentiment but boy it didn't work . The ending credits song salvaged it though but I doubt that they have the balls to do what the lyrics imply

    Seventh is the game woke? LOL at pregnant women on the field , the Abby sex scene and the baby in general

    Eight I'm going to combine the final two points into one . The Last of Us Part II is a blast to play and literally every game after it will feel like **** in comparison mostly due to the amazing animations . Graphics , attention to detail? Best in the business especially because it was created for an even by 2013 standards underpowered console . Sound design? Excellent , Cinematography? Fantastic , Voice acting? top notch ...

    The Last of Us Part II is flawed game but a good one nonetheless . Add to all the above the fact that it released without bugs or massive day 1 patches and all the accessibility options and I can see how people appreciate it more than others . At the same time covering your eyes and ears to the games problems and calling everyone that disagrees with you a phobe like the fanboys , journalists and numnuts like Troy Baker like to do is also pathetic    … Expand

    This game is about the darkest feelings that can be in one's soul. It is about revenge, about what it is to forgive, what it is to be a father and what it is to face yourself. Not everyone can handle it.

    No game other than TLOU part 1 has made me as emotional as this one. Second best game I've ever played. Seems like the people disliking this game wanted an exact copy of the last of us. Go in with an open mind and allow yourself to experience the story thats being told, rather than the story you want to be told

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Haven’t done any review before but this is gonna be the first review because this game is bad. The whole plot doesn’t make any sense because the characters from tlou1 are out of characters. It’s okay that our beloved character is dead but can’t it be a better situation? And don’t even start with the long play time with the unexpected character Abby. Last but not least, why the fuxk would the game director keep blaming all the gamers that are complaining and not trying to understand where the rages are coming from? Never buying any naughty dog game unless some action would be taken like kicking that stupid director out of the company.… Expand

    The story honestly seemed pretty hollow and unimpactful. There was a lot of gore and gruesomeness, but it didn't equate to you getting much more out of it than shock value. I really think that they could have done more with this game, but in the end this definitely was falling short of expectations for a follow up to the first game. Lots of filler that just made the game pointlessly drag out.

    Es un gran juego la historia es buena el ritmo de la historia es genial y es responsivo al intentar apuntar con cualquiera de las armas el único problema que le veo es que te detienen en seco cuando haces el cambio de personaje...

    Story was great, very enjoyable. I found the controls and combat in the first game very repetitive and boring but found a huge improvement in gameplay in this game. Took me around 20 hours to complete the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Сама по себе игра не плохая, где-то на 8, но только первая ее половина, но после разработчик заставляет нас проходить игру за убийцу Джоэла. Якобы для того чтобы ознакомить нас с ее историей и показать, что она не так сильно отличается от Элли, но Элли мы знаем с начала первой части, и лично мне за эти 10 часов игры за Эбби она не показалась мне интересным или глубоким персонажем с интересной историей, эта посредственная не интересная история которую попытались уместить в 10-15 часов, только для галочки, все время игры за нее я сидел и мечтал что в итоге Элли ее убьёт и больше не придётся видеть этого ужасного персонажа, но нет, ее оставили в живых, я надеялся на интересную игру хотябы на уровне первой, но она до нее вообще не дотягивает, она могла быть лучшей игрой но ув. Я ценю огромный труд разработчиков которые проработали малейшие детали, но лучше бы больше заострили внимание на персонажах и сюжете.… Expand

    Technically impressive and beautiful game in terms of appearance and a story may be the smartest game stories, but I do not think that story that I have been waiting for years and the observed frequency in the game environments may be one of the most prominent negative aspects of the game and some may notice some types of propaganda that were It is better to avoid them in this game

    what is the purpose 'playing a game' if it is a lesson for something then go to any school to learn.
    to me 'playing a game' is for fun . not the less nor more

    and dev thinks differently so my score is simply zero

    even thou graphics and looking is awesome but the contents of this game is not a game

The mechanics are superb, the permadeath ootion is spectacular and makes it even more interesting to playthrough. Thank you Naughty Dog i really love this masterpiece.

    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]
