    I didn't think it was possible to make a better sequel than the first, but somehow they found a way. Improved in almost every area. I hated the story at first but slowly welcomed it. This is a true masterpiece, cant wait to play it again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. English is not my first language, so please give me the benefit of the doubt, especially when discussing faith- and LGBTQ-issues.

    Every once in a while a person is in a position where they are able to create a cultural artefact that’s a quantum leap above everything else in that artform. It takes a lot of talent, hard work and resources, along with help from other people, but they’re able to create something lasting that brings the culture in which they work forward in a big way. I think Neil Druckmann is in that position, and The last of us (part 1) is one of those quantum leaping artefacts. It tells a story that’s engaging and challenging and wraps it in gameplay that’s equally engaging and challenging and leaves you in that place where good art can’t take you but great art can: emotional uproar, not just satisfaction.

    I think The Last of Us Part II is a great game, easily one of the best I’ve played, and a worthy sequel that builds upon the things that made the first game amazing and that also doesn’t shy away from trying to say something about the extremes of the human experience while still portraying things that are too often seen as extremes as completely un-dramatic. It is however a game of two parts: story and gameplay (and of course in many other ways too), and to me those two parts are not equally as impressive this time around.

    While the ending in the first game leaves you with an open question, namely whether you too would sacrifice mankind and your daughter’s love to save her life, this sequel leaves you with a much more closed statement, namely that vengeance leads to the destruction of yourself and of that which is dear to you. That’s at the same time more hopeful than the ending of part 1, since at least the characters end up learning something, but also less satisfying since it is a story we have been told many times before, and it doesn’t pull the rug out from under you in the same way. I felt like someone had simultaneously punched me in my stomach and made all other games into childish toys after finishing the first game, and after this I just felt tired and drained and a little bit frustrated. Not because I think the thesis of the game isn’t a valid one, nor because I think I could have done it better myself, but mostly because it has at least three too many endings, and a couple of narrative beats towards the end that felt superfluous to me.

    The gameplay part I really liked! It felt awesome to be a badass, both as Ellie and as Abby, and I liked how they made me play differently. Especially I liked how playing as Abby hade me take bigger risks and go in and out of stealth more than when playing as Ellie, where I felt like i failed if anyone saw me. I look forward to starting ng+ and take what I’ve learned from that into a new playthrough and bring a little more confidence.

    I didn’t have that much trouble getting through any encounter (except for the damned rat-king...), but I felt like that was because I was playing well and making smart choices about which enemy to go for next and in what way, and not because the game was easy.
    I liked making the infected attack my human enemies, but was expecting that kind of mixed encounters to be more frequent.
    I’m a bit ambivalent about the open world section. It really stands out as a great place to explore, but I kind of forgot about it quickly after it was over and it feels a little strange to have that “bubble” in an otherwise linear game. Although I can see how it is important to have a little bit of light, almost frothy, adventuring before descending into hell.

    I do understand that not everyone wants to have “politics” polluting their gaming experience, and I think that’s a fair point. If I, as a left wing, atheistic swede, played a game that forced me to burn down an abortion clinic, I would question its motives and why the creator felt the need to put that in there. I might even feel a great deal of animosity toward the people involved in making the game. That said, I loved the diversity in this game and how it was just presented as a matter of fact. Prejudices exist in this world, but the story isn’t about them, and in many ways the world has just moved on from them.
    Abby’s physique made me think that she was trans, I’ll admit. That misconception was reinforced many times for instance by dialogue, and I’ll even admit that I thought the position she and Owen chose when they had sex was a hint... That’s me being prejudiced and I’ll own up to it and be grateful that this game showed me that I have those prejudices.

    To summarize my feelings about this game I would say that it’s on the cusp of being great art, but absolutely one of the greatest games I’ve played.
    Thanks for reading this far and may your survival be long!    … Expand

    It's a fantastic game, the story is clever, perhaps to many and to long cuts scenes but in general it's brilliantly made and told. The ratings of zero should all be ignored, imagine how poor a game needs to be to justify that score, so play it and see to realise the user scores are just mob rule, or this group think because its the 'thing' to do.

    Amazing follow up to the original title, the story was great and multiple viewpoints added to the depth. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and the final acts really hit hard. I understand some of the criticism but none of it deserves negative scores it has. It takes a bit of critical thinking and extrapolation on the players part but it is an amazing story and narrative.

    it was just too depressing to play and they killed the best and only interesting character in the beginning of the game. The ending was also pointless, making the whole story futile.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Opinión, valoración y comentarios sobre el The Last of Us 2 (hay algún spoiler así que si no queréis leer algo así saltadlo):

    1. Hay más evolución en el personaje de Abby porque es un personaje nuevo y necesitan darle una gran trascendencia para que pueda rivalizar con Ellie en la historia y crear un escenario interesante
    2. Ellie "no evoluciona" tanto como Abby por lo primero y porque sólo al final "entiende que debía dejar a un lado su venganza" o se siente satisfecha con casi matar a Abby.
    3. Ellie no es que no "aprende" de la venganza, lo hace justo antes de matar a Abby. Abby gana y Ellie pierde, para mí. No logra matarla y Abby se va con su venganza cumplida. Ellie debió matarla y cumplir su venganza. Ese era su destino, lamentablemente igual que lamentables todas las matanzas en el juego. Yo creo que busca la venganza y la consigue pero está tan destruida y cansada que no logra concretarla y se detiene antes de matar a Abby porque con la paliza y la pelea ya ha llenado su deseo de venganza. El casi matarla le ha logrado llenar esa necesidad de redimir la muerte de Joel y decide en el último minuto, movida también por la pesadumbre de semejantes masacres en las que ha estado involucrada hace sólo poco tiempo, soltarla. Ya no va a buscarla pero la ha casi obtenido. No creo que crea en que debe detener su venganza y yo tampoco creo en detener una venganza así. Cuando te matan a un padre es ir a buscar al culpable hasta matarle y eso es lo que ha hecho Ellie, lo ha cumplido hasta el último segundo y ha parado sólo ahí, en un instante límite, y eso es lo que marca el trofeo "Hice lo que tenía que hacer" aunque eso le desolara, ese era su destino.
    4. No es un gran juego. Es un buen juego, si quieren hasta un muy buen juego pero no un gran juego. Es muy amarillista, usa mucho la violencia, es terriblemente e innecesariamente cruel con niños, embarazadas, perros. Es un pasquín de juego. Un juego así no puede ser un gran juego. Ni siquiera es disfrutable, es muy desagradable, solamente glorificado por quienes alaban ese nivel de violencia y la guardan dentro. Para las personas con mundo emocional normal este juego no es ni siquiera disfrutable, es un empalague y un sentimiento de contrariado constante, es muy agrio, y muy poco de él es realmente disfrutable. Para mí, no es ni un muy buen juego, sino uno bueno. 7, 7.5, y si estiramos un 8. Yo me quedo con el 7. El querer florear las cosas o dorar la píldora con "esto es un elemento distinto a las demás historias con el que han arriesgado mucho y eso tiene mérito" no me suma para divertirme ni disfrutar la historia, pavo, se lo digo en general al que piense en darle vueltas al juego analizando las cosas que puedan o no tener mérito que haya hecho distintas y por eso quiera subirle la nota al 10, que dejen de estar metidos en guerras de consolas, joder. Es como el jazz de los méritos gráficos de detallitos en los escenarios fotorealistas, son pajas mentales sin importancia. Este juego es como un trabajo malo, pesado, muy pesado. 7.

    Algunos Youtubers que son muy negativos con el juego en este caso tiene razón en varias cosas y en otras discrepo como decir que la historia es una basofia, no lo es, es buena, pero no es una gran cosa que podamos decir: concuerdo con ellos en que la música es casi inexistente, anti melódica y ambienta, pero lo hace de una forma muy tangencial y muy poco satisfactoria, casi genérica. Los efectos de sonido son bastante violentos, nada agradables, muy amarillistas.    … Expand

The phenomenal writing will touch every player and won't leave an eye dry of tears. Combat and exploration are challenging and lead the player to use creativity and improvisation.

    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]
