    Just AMAZING. The game is great at every point possible. Graphics, gameplay, story. It's not a game for everyone, you must play it open-minded and know that's a game about people and humans behavior. I like it very much, one of the best games of my life so far.

    Este TLOU es un juego maravilloso, mantiene la misma esencia que el primero pero con nuevas mecánicas, nuevas físicas y por supuesto nuevos gráficos en cuanto a historia me gustó y la siento muy bien pero no se merece un 10.

    El juego es casi perfecto, que pasa por la cabeza de los que dicen que tiene mala historia o se sienten molestos por jugar con abby? la comunidad gamer esta bastante lleno de homofobos e incels pero que se le va a hacer, no le puedieron quitar el goty, ahora a retorcerse en sus cuerpos gordos y grasientos, cerdos asquerosos.

This game, while linear, had some great open world aspects. I was excited to go into buildings off the beaten path even if that meant facing more infected. The accessibility options were also wonderful. I get motion sick, so being able to mess with those options allowed me to play the game unhindered. The at mostly of the game was amazing as well. The intense moments were intense as hell, and the beautiful, breath taking moments were a much needed breather from scarier parts. And those death animations, whether from the player character or the enemy were VERY realistic. The animation team did a great job.
    As for the story...A+. I grew to like every character (yes EVERY character)! The story surprised me in ways I didn’t expect and the characters were well fleshed out. I also appreciated the inclusivity in terms of gender, race and sexuality. Nothing was forced down my throat; ND introduced nuanced characters in a great way. The game left me emotionally drained because the themes were so heavy, yet human. Despite that, I can’t wait to start New Game Plus. I’m ready to be hurt again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game last night, and I am still constantly thinking about the game. I am over 50, and play games instead of watching t.v. I have not had a game that has wow 'ed me, taken me on an emotional roller-coaster, made me really think about things instead of just running and gunning, feel for and come to understand every person directly involved in the story. I laughed out loud many times, and cried more than once.

    In the first game, I definitely identified with Joel, as I am an older straight, white, male, also. I loved that story, and understood his motivations very well. This game had me dig even deeper, and got me so involved that I connected with and, understood the motivations, and struggles of both main characters. At first I didn't really like playing as Abby, but very quickly I could empathize, and sympathize with her, and her allies. I didn't want to... but I did, and then came to care about her, and her plight. I guess I've always had a good imagination, and the game developers, cast, and director did an AMAZING job of using the "take a walk in their shoes" method.

    My wife, who is also over 50, and straight. Played this game, and absolutely LOVED it! She had to bite her tongue so many times so as not to spoil the game for me. Her comment to me about an hour after she finished the game was: "Damn.... now what am I going to do...." I mentioned new game +, and she is already 1/4 of the way through her play-through. And this is coming from a woman who typically hates reading notes in games, and would rather play multiplayer games so she can team up with me.

    TLDR: Gameplay: smoother than the first. Graphics: WOW!!!!! I was left stunned looking at some of the amazing scenery way more than I should have. Attention to detail: More detailed than the first game. Story: REALLY draws you in, as long as you have an open mind, and let the game take you where the writer wanted to.

    My completely honest opinion, is that this game is nothing but a work of art, and was much more involving than any other story driven game I have EVER played. TLOU was great, Horizon: Zero Dawn was also up there, and I could go on and on about all the games I have ever played, but I really do have to get back to work.

    I can't wait to get home tonight and start my new game+ play-through.    … Expand

    This game rocks. The gameplay, especially the stealth and combat are epic. The graphics are the best I have ever seen. The replay value is very high.It is totally unfair to be bombing this game based on the death of one character.

What can I say about this wonderful game ?! I can only applaud Naughty Dog for his impeccable work, what a fantastic story, a mixture of sensations and feelings you feel while playing is indescribable!

    You enter the game in an absurd immersion that she created, the twists in the story, the different angles, you perfectly understand the motivations of each character that is imposed and realize that it affects them in each chapter.

    We feel anger and hatred together with Ellie and we understand the reason for her revenge and you also end up having this feeling of revenge, but in each chapter you feel that she ends up being consumed by this revenge and you no longer see the pain and problems it brings to the around you! On the other hand, it's the same thing, especially when you see the other side of the story and, in the end, you realize that all the revenge brought suffering to everyone, but it also frees everyone, I myself was anguished for not wanting to see revenge and hoping the most sensible end.
    It is indescribable what you feel when you play, for me it is an incredible story and I can only praise Naughty Dog for taking the risk and bringing this incredible game to us, it just showed how The Last of Us is my favorite game and certainly this one it's the best game of the year, this generation and my favorite game!

    And really, many people were not prepared for this masterpiece, it is very incredible for certain people, simple!

    I hope Naughty Dog continues to make such brilliant games, it just shows how the company is undoubtedly one of the best and the care it takes with its games!    … Expand

    But
    I Am No Longer A Hater Though Story Is Neither Good And Neither Bad
    * it's BREATHTAKING* And Breathtaking In A Different Way
    First I Was Disliking The Game When I Had To Play As Abby But Then I Realised That It Ain't Bad The Game Made Enemy Become Friend With Player.
    This Game Has Really Different Choice That Makes The Player Neutral To Both Characters But:
    This Game Is A MASTERPIECE I Really Liked This Game Its A Different Game Different Than All The games I Have Ever Played Although I Am Sad They Killed Joel But Still The Storyline Was Awesome And Music Toooo. This Game Gave A Good Moral And A Good Lesson That In Revenge We Can Lose Everything We Have To Trade Everything For Our Revenge And MAybe You Won't Get The Revenge As Ellie Realised That Abby Was Doing Nothing Wrong She Was Just Taking Revenge Of Her Father At That Time She Also Realised That She (Ellie) Is Also Taking The Revenge Of Her Father (Joel) And It Was A *BREATHTAKING* Moment. Well, She Loses Everything Even Her Ability To Play Guitar, She Used To Remember Joel By Playing A Song And Now In His Memory She Cannot Even Play it Well That Was A Dark Moment But It Gave A Good Story And Moral And A Really Deep Meaning And I Don't Know What To Say Except Breathtaking In A Different That Was Neither Good Nor Bad But Just Breathtaking.

    Very, very good game. It’s a shame of the reception it has achieved.

    Game of the generation. Excellent storytelling, graphics, and atmosphere. A revenge story with a meaningful message for our current world. You need to have an open mind, because it isn't a story you wanted after the first game, but it's a story the writers wanted to tell, and they were damn right.

    It´s not what you expect. It´s not like Part 1. But it hits the same devastating emotional points that make you question your actions and consider differing viewpoints.
    It does this by putting the player in a lot of uncomfortable positions, which is something not done often. If you like it or not should be judged after you´ve seen the last scene, because The Last of Us 2 is a package that presents itself in its whole being from the first second to literally the last.
    It made me happy, angry, furious, confused and questioning my own actions. This is a great game, and everyone who worked on it gave it their all.

    Let me start off with a disclaimer so that nobody can make any claims about fake bot posts. I'm going to be copy and pasting my review I left on Google. Now for the review

    All of the backlash against this game giving it one star is absolute nonsense. I beat the game last night, and can genuinely say it's one of the greatest examples of mixing gameplay and storytelling I've ever seen.    Let me start off with a disclaimer so that nobody can make any claims about fake bot posts. I'm going to be copy and pasting my review I left on Google. Now for the review

    All of the backlash against this game giving it one star is absolute nonsense. I beat the game last night, and can genuinely say it's one of the greatest examples of mixing gameplay and storytelling I've ever seen. The entire point of this game is to put you into a situation where you spend hours building up a specific mindset and reinforcing those beliefs, and it then forces you to reassess them and really think "Sometimes things aren't always as black and white as they seem." Every single one-star review is someone who just feels the need to call Naughty Dog out for making them actually evaluate themselves as a person and acknowledge their faults. If you genuinely just didn't like the story of the game, that's fine. Not every story can please 100% of people. But the visuals are amazing, the environmental design is phenomenal, and the voice acting as absolutely top notch. Even if you say you personally hated the gameplay to it's very core and not a single aspect of it was enjoyable for you, the game had no major glitches, was incredibly well put together, was visually stunning, and the characters all felt real and like they genuinely believed in what they were doing. That makes this game worth no less than two stars (I would argue three personally, but I'm talking absolute lowest possible review score) because at the bare minimum it works well and looks and sounds great. The fact that it has almost no 4, 3, or 2 star reviews compared to the thousands of 5 and 1 stars should show you exactly what's going on here.

    The game obviously isn't perfect. Nothing is. there were a couple of small bumps here and there, and anyone could cherry pick a handful of instances to argue against the compliments I gave the game. It's something like sixteen hours long, nothing can be absolutely perfect for sixteen hours with absolutely no flaws for anyone when it's being played across thousands of systems with billions of variations in the inputs leaving potential for something to throw an unexpected wrench into the gears of the game's internal formulas for what to do and when. But the fact remains that as a whole, this game is a major milestone in gaming and is something every game should aspire to be

    The Last of Us Part II is a perfect argument of games as art. It uses the interactive media in which it's presented to make everything much more impactful than the story would be if it were just passively consumed. And to top it all off, it's one of my favorite games that I've ever played.    … Expand

    I absolutely loved the original game, having played through it too many times to count, including numerous times on Grounded Mode. It seems to me that a lot of the backlash for this current title may be rooted in the expectations players have had, especially those regarding the direction they've thought the story might or should take.

    Ignore immature people who cannot handle narrative decisions that they don't like.

    This game is the complete package of graphics, incredible audio design, tight stealth and third person shooting, and a narrative that simply hasn't ever been told in a game before. The "revenge is bad" theme is obviously there, but that is super reductive.

    The game does an excellent job delving into the psyches of the characters and examining how human relationships can be absolutely fraught and at times, make no sense. Anyone who has ever had a contentious or complicated relationship with a parent or other loved one will immediately identify with the mature themes the writing conveys with regards to this.

    It's hard to imagine anyone who considers themselves a gamer not enjoying this game and I think most of the negative reviews come with a heavy agenda and are not in good faith. As a big fan of the first game, this game surpasses it in every way.    … 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...
