    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Las gráficas del juego son muy buenas, por un rato podías sentirte adentro del juego pero, esto es algo que a la gente no le gustó: La historia, el nuevo personaje (Abby), La muerte de joel y la tan mala forma con la que matan a los personajes. A mí en lo personal estas cosas tampoco me gustaron :/. Te lo recomiendo por la calidad gráfica pero, está muy mala la historia y todo lo que te comente anteriormente no vale la pena comprarlo, en mi opinión… Expand

    - Graphics
    - Atmosphere
    - Sound
    - Music
    - Story

    Cons:
    - Game length

    Game length is the only reason this game is a 9 and not a 10. It could have been shortened by 5 hours and this game still would have been really great. At times it was kind of a drag just traversing the world... but I would do it again.

    Play this game. If you're emotionally mature and like a story that will make you think, you'll enjoy it.

    People are bashing this game because karma caught up to their childhood hero.    … Expand

    The most polarizing game I’ve ever seen. People who don’t like the game have good points, but I respectfully disagree. I think it’s as good if not better than the 1st game. I know that’s a controversial opinion but that’s fine.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game really had me filled with as much anger Ellie possesssed for revenge. I was like everyone else at first, hating Abby, hating Joel’s death, and wanting to just plainly quit the game. It’s a story that must be played fully, and then given a lot of thought after completing. In the end I left with my own critiques and thoughts on it that are still evolving. I just really can’t get over how fractured Ellie’s character is now. The staple characters are broken or dead, and it hurts to see their stories end so quickly and viciously. That’s life I geuss. I think we all understand violence is bad, revenge is bad, and cycles that perpetuate those things need to end. We have countless stories repeating that same thing because it never ends, nobody learns. violence won’t ever end. I suppose that’s why i atleast wanted Ellie to carry out her revenge pursuit, for the same appeasement revenge stories seem to frame with positive closure. This story didn’t do that, and it was something you had to deal with, just as the characters did. All In all, i think this story can promote inner growth too in a way. Although I think all stories are meant to be reflected upon. Give it some of your critical brain juice. It’s not bad writing. It’s just not the story you’re used too. Additional commentary: I really liked the portal of a fierce lesbian protagonist. She was just a person, and not just her sexuality. We need more portals of women just being people, not boxed into some genere. It was nice to see something of myself reflected on screen.… Expand

What I’m really trying to say is that this game is amazing with a great story and even better gameplay. If the “SJW” parts of the story make you mad, stay mad.… Expand

It's like borderlands 3 where the characters are just not engaging at all, the story line is so linear, going back and forth with characters timeline, and you can't do anything else.

    I guess the best thing/fun thing about this game is playing the abby character. She was hilarious to play with. But the rest of the game was terrible.

    And then, I was like I paid full amount to play this game, so I finished it and as expected, it was a killjoy game. If you want to have the biggest disappointment with a sequel, this game is for you.    … Expand

    Assuming the “shock” doesn’t turn you off in the first couple hours, the first 12-15 hours of the game are rather enjoyable. Great scenery. Fun gameplay, albeit repetitive and straightforward. The second 12-15 hours... unbearable. Has completely turned me off from anything from anyone involved going forward. Too many lies and blatant falsehoods.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A lot has been said about this game. The only thing I can do after beating it is agreeing with the fact that it’s bad. Gameplay is fine but identical to the first one. The feeling is that the game drags itself so much over its welcome, due to decent but highly repetitive mechanics and level design. The first one had on its side a shorter length, and a much, much better storyline and characters. This part 2 goes in every single wrong direction it could, when it comes to these two aspects. It starts flushing away the most fundamental thing that EVERYONE wanted to see: the relationship between Joel and Ellie, killing off the first, and transforming the second into an unlikable sociopathic dumbass. All the other characters are either destroyed and marginalized (Tommy) or just forgettable in the best case, including Abby. I’ve seen many hating her so much. I couldn’t do even that. She just doesn’t make me feel anything. She’s so bi-dimensional that DoomGuy expresses infinite more personality with a couple of grunts. What made me feel extremely annoyed though is the way the writers try to trick the player in liking her with any sort of subterfuge, because oooh she plays with doggos, oooh look how she saves zebras, oooh look how she saves kids, oooh look how many friends she has, she must be the best person in the world. Well no, she is not. She is just a terribly written character (together with all her besties), with 0 character development and an atrociously boring and stupid storyline that goes nowhere and simply wastes your time. Even the LGBT representation is done much better in the first game (Bill and his side story are so well written, so sweet and at the same time so bitter. Definitely one of the best parts of the first game). Here things are just thrown in just for sake of politics, decontextualized, stereotyped and simply uninteresting. What I wanted to see in the game are Ellie and Joel, how they’re coping with the end of civilization (the best part of this whole thing is the flashback in the museum), I wanted to see developments with the infection, I wanted to see how humanity is surviving. I wanted lore, emotions, world building, character development. What I’ve got instead is Abby literally taking it in the ass in one of the worse sex scenes I’ve ever watched.

    Giving it a 5 because of the graphics. Seriously, I can’t understand how were they able to achieve this on an obsolete hardware such as PS4. This is going to be the benchmark for the new console generation, together with RDR2 and Death Stranding. And, hopefully, Cyberpunk 2077.

    Honestly, this game doesn't deserve as much hate as some of these people have given it. It actually exceeded my expectations. The only issues I have with the game is the independent jump button, which is unnecessary in my opinion. And some scenes needed to be rearranged to allow smoother story progression.

I understood most things on my first playthrough and now running a second playthrough to pick up on the things I have missed. There were a lot of callbacks to the first game and the DLC for those who didn't play the second game fully. Just like the first game, I give this a 9/10 as well. I can understand why some people do not like the game, but that shouldn't be the reason for the hate. The gameplay is phenomenal and I only encountered only one glitch that involves invisible walls over certain objects you can not shoot through. This is one of those games where you have to think about what you just experienced because there are messages and themes that you may not catch at first Give this game an honest try. Overall, I think the game is solid.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games ever made. From the visuals to the sound effects and music, there is so much quality you get that's not seen often in games.

    Do not listen to the emotionally immature kids on this site who in the emo state give it a 0 score,
    they are blinded by rage (ironically don't get the moral of the game: revenge destroys your own life) because of their bias for Joel who gets murdered in a way they do not like. Like many in that world whose lives were ended by Joel, he gets the same treatment. Instead of appreciating and understanding the development the characters went through which was shown in during the game, they only focus on 1 moment in the game.

    The long playthrough was very enjoyable. You get to witness both sides of the story. Abby was a likeable character. I enjoyed her part more. The ending is just perfect, I came to like both characters and didn't want any to die. The gameplay is never dull because there are so many ways you can complete the encounters. Stealth, kill, sneak by or a combination of these. The animation work is best I've ever seen in a game. The amount of options you can change is unreal.

    I can confidently say this is the best game on the PS4. Best played on PS4 Pro.
    Stunning visuals with HDR on my LG OLED and the sound effect, especially the gunshots were amazing. Therefore recommended to play with a good headset or a home theater system like I did.

    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...
