    This game is the death stranding antithesis. Nice gameplay, and terrible history. They try to subvert expectations and broke the game, just like the last Star Wars.

    An amazing and improved version of The Last of Us i terms of Gameplay and Graphics.....Naughty Dag did a very good job to using the PS4 hardware which is outdated and still developing this stunning looking game.The story was good too and I get why people hated it.....its not for everyone.
    Definitely a must play Game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly went into this game not expecting much, partly because I thought TLOU didn't need a sequel and because it lacked the MP component which I loved. I had also seem some of the leaks before I got to play and while I didn't get the whole game spoiled I had enough revealed that I didn't like what I had read.

    However, after playing the game myself I can definitely say that this game was amazing. Not as good as the first, story wise, but only marginally behind it. It's a story that once played has impact. Abby ended up not being a character that I completely hated by the end of the game either, contrary to how I felt at the beginning. Gameplay wise it takes the best parts of the first and improves them greatly. Adding more mechanics, weapons, and tools to play with. The technical aspects (graphics and animation) were top notch of course as is often the case with Naughty Dog's games.

    This was a game that I definitely needed to play myself to actually get the experience that was needed to from it. While it definitely doesn't stand ahead of the first, it can stand right along side it as a fantastic game that should be played if the opportunity arises.    … Expand

    Many are so desperate to recognize who represents the protagonist & the antagonist (good & bad). There is no such thing. It is simply a concept of human perception, like time. Ellie and Abby only represent themselves, as human beings. The game hints at a deeper meaning than just revenge. Closure is the key point of the whole thing, alongside philosophical & biblical meanings. The playersMany are so desperate to recognize who represents the protagonist & the antagonist (good & bad).

    Hey bud, I heard you hate this game with a burning passion. I can tell you why. You're soft, and a little upset Ellie can't be your imaginary girlfriend anymore.

    Anyways, the story was immaculately airtight and told brilliantly. Admittedly, I felt that the Abby portion of the game could have maybe used a little different pacing. It was great to see everything slowly piece together.    Hey bud, I heard you hate this game with a burning passion. I can tell you why.

    The game is a masterpiece in any way posssible. The only problem with it its the people who rated it under 4. You cannot simply rate such a game under 4. I can get you dont like it and rate it 4, but 0??? Really? Whoever does that, doesent deserve to play such a masterpiece. Thank you Naughty Dog for making games in general. I have not rated it a 10 because the lack of multiplayer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the game for 13 hours straight, yes, the story was not as compelling as that of the first title, but it was still good enough that it kept me motivated, plus my love for the characters pushed me forward to fulfill their objectives. I got scared, I was engaged, I was driven by anger, I felt that I was one with Ellie. I played the game at night, wearing headphones and with the lights off just to be as immersed in the game as possible, in short: I was having a fantastic experience, but then...

    i have no clue what went through Druckmann's mind, how in the hell would I want to play as Abby, it has nothing to do with her being the "villain" or the way anyone wants to interpret it, it is the fact that I have to go to the theater to kill Ellie, and I know I'm making it there because we are shown that they meet after 13 hours of playing with Ellie, so there is not even a shade of doubt regarding my objectives or destination.

    I am not going to mention the bad storytelling or the plotholes because I do not care about them, I could do with bad writing as long as I am playing as the people that i had learned to love 6 years ago. In the end, the 10 hours I played as Abby, to me, were not enjoyable, I stopped playing at night, I stopped wearing headphones and I did not care about anything about it, I paced through it in one day because I couldn't bring myself to play as her and to top it all off I have to bash Ellie's head in too, like WTF?

    i am really disappointed with this game, not just because I did not enjoy it, but because I had so much faith in ND to produce a game which would at least match the first one's level of emotion, and in turn I ended up hating the sequel to my favourite game ever.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En un juego como The last of us no puedes solo fiarte de tu jugabilidad y gráficos a la hora de crear el juego, en este tipo de juegos la historio llega a ser mucha mas importante que los anteriores, por ende, este es el aspecto del que voy a basar mi comentario y puntuación... En resumen, simplemente en The last of us part II la historia no logra las expectativas que se tenían y muchos van a querer que este juego quede en el olvido.

    Para comenzar, es increible como pueden terminar con la historia de un personaje tan importante de una forma tan simple (la muerte de Joel fue como la muerte de un NPC de un videojuego cualquiera), ademas, no se da la oportunidad de jugar con este personaje a pesar de ser el actor principal en la primera entrega, solo los primeros 5 minutos del juego montando a caballo. Por otra parte tampoco se permite visualizar al personaje por mucho tiempo, ademas de no poder jugar con el, el personaje no aparece por mas de 20 - 30 minutos en la totalidad del juego. Sin embargo, es entendible que no se le diera tanta jugabilidad a este personaje, pues fue el papel principal en la primera entrega y era el turno de Elli, ademas tampoco se debe complacer a los fans en todo lo que piden, pero esto no justifica lo que la franquicia acaba de hacer con uno de sus personajes estelares de una forma tan ilógica.

    Ahora bien, en cuanto a la nueva protagonista lo que se puede decir es muy subjetivo, pero obligar al jugador a pasar la mitad del juego con un personaje que en la primera parte del juego adquiere todo el odio de los que jugaron la primera entrega, es también algo ilógico, ya que solo hace que el jugador se canse del juego e incluso poder llegar a abandonarlo sin completarlo ya que es un juego bastante extenso. No se si la intensión de los creadores era hacer sentir pena por la nueva personaje (Abby), o intentar tenerle cariño o aprecio como usualmente pasa con los personajes de videojuegos en los que hay una gran historia, pero puedo decir que obligar a jugar con un personaje no va a hacer que se le aprecie, son las acciones que realiza a lo largo de la historia lo que si lo hace, y simplemente haber matado un personaje estelar no va a permitir tener empatia con este nuevo personaje de la entrega. Se puede decir que los creadores no supieron implementar bien este personaje en lo absoluto.

    Por otra parte, si nos vamos al final del juego tampoco se entiendo lo que los creadores de The last of us part II quieren acá, no se puede comprender como se pueden pasar tantas horas de juego intentando buscar una venganza para al final dejar ir y al parecer perdonar a la persona que se persiguió por tanto tiempo, ¿acaso intenta dejar una enseñanza o algo por el estilo?, porque en videojuegos como este, esa no es una de las metas que deben tener los creadores en mente (es como querer dejar un buen mensaje al final de jugar todo GTA V), no se que pensó el director de este videojuego al redactar el final. Como deje anteriormente, no se debe complacer a los fans en todo, pero este no era el caso, y los creadores no supieron como hacer las cosas bien a lo largo del juego y mucho menos en el final de este.

    Para finalizar se podría decir que The last of us part II no logro cumplir las expectativas tan altas que dejo la primera entrega, esto debido a no saber continuar una historia con una buena calidad, a pesar de que el en la primera parte se dejo la posibilidad clara de poder continuarla de la forma adecuada, incluso matando a Joel (de la forma adecuada, en el momento adecuado y sin obligar a jugar con el asesino para "encariñarse" con el).

    En un juego como este la historia es lo principal y debe ser el factor mas importante a lo hora de la calificación.    … Expand

    El juego es un carrusel de emociones, aventura y supervivencia. El final es triste, desconsolador. Pero creo que era lo más lógico al tratarse de una venganza.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I NEVER leave reviews. I enjoy reading them but never felt conflicted enough to spend the time I have to actually leave one. Until now. I read so much hate on this game. Hours of reviews, of videos, even of conversations with friends. But all of it is complete malarkey. This is a beautifully designed and written game. I am blown away at the pettiness people have towards such minuscule things that actually make the game so great! I understand that people have developed feelings towards certain characters based off the first(also amazing) game. And what happened in this game definitely shook me to my core. But when has a game done that for you?! When did a game challenge you and your complete way of thinking towards a situation? We are so focused on our own issues, our own thoughts that we can’t even see what is going on from another point of view. But this game does that. This game is firing on so many levels and showing people there is a story to both sides and literally puts you in their shoes. Also being completely diverse with its characters is just incredible. Even in an apocalyptic world people are going to be who they are. And raging mushroom headed monsters or scars or rattlers or anyone for that matter is going to change that. I wanted to write a review because I believe this game is so much more than just a game. I wanted to give it the justice it deserved. I am sorry that people are having issues with characters or story line or whatever it is but I just think their perception is slightly blinded by the hurt they may have felt. I did have some pretty high expectations but this game blew right past them. I am so sad it is over but so glad I got to go through it. So anyways, I hope whoever is reading this, whether they have or have not played the game, just keep an opened mind. We all got to be apart of an amazing journey and that is that part we cannot forget. Thank you for you time.… Expand

    Beautiful game other than the tearing but that is it. Game play is horrible constant frame drops on pro. I can only imagine what it's like on the standard console. Naughty Dog ruining yet another franchise the story is absolutely horrible. Naturally Sony doesn't refund for this crap. Come on Sony a little more customer friendly tactics will take you a long way.

    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]
