    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is an excellent follow up to the original which greatly expands and improves both the gameplay and environment created in the original while coherently continuing the story told in Part I. It's a game that challenges the player from a gameplay perspective as well as from a narrative place as well.… Expand

    Having finally completed the game I can see it’s a masterpiece, and I really wish some of the people that gave it a low score the day it was released before even playing would just give to a chance

    The Last of Us Part II might be set in a post-apocalyptic world, but its themes and its effect are both incredibly fitting for 2020.

    Invested from beginning to end, I spent an arduous and emotional six days to complete it. It proved my theories that video games are the future medium for entertainment.

    Invested from beginning to end, I spent an arduous and emotional six days to complete it. It proved my theories that video games are the future medium for entertainment. In a world where movies have grown stagnant and television has taken over, there’s nothing like experiencing a story you’re actually a part of.

    In a game like this, it’d be cheap and ill-fitting to give the player choice. And I say this as a person who had difficulty pressing the square button a few times during it. Giving us choice takes away from the narrative and sticking to the narrative doesn’t feel like you’re not in control. It’s a matter of preference, as with everything, but for me, I’m satisfied with every part of it and am on a NG+ run through as we speak, noticing different things. That, and I also don’t know what game can ever follow this one up for me—not something I say lightly (I wasn’t big into God of War, for example.)

    Loved it. Altered gaming just like the first.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don’t listen to the beta male haters of this game. They made it their mission to review bomb a game that most of them didn’t even play. They watched the spoilers and got butt hurt that Joel died. And their homophobic lgbtq nonsense just adds to their lack of any kind of meaningful insight to the game. That being said, this game is amazing. If you loved the first game and fully understood its themes, you’ll love this game. It’s beautifully done. Not only the graphics, music and gameplay, but also the story. This game will make you truly “feel” what’s going on inside these characters. I was fully ready to hate Abby for what she did to Joel. But after completing this game, I grew to understand why she did what she did. And although I wish I still would’ve had the option to kill her, I understand why ND wrote the story in this way. Abby arguably lost more than Ellie ever did. Abbys story is essentially the same as Ellie’s, just from her own perspective. Joel deserved to die. If you truly believe that Ellie deserved vengeance, than you can’t logically think that Abby should’ve been denied hers. Abby spent 4 years training for her mission to find Joel, and it shows in her physique. Much like an MMA fighter. Again, my only regret is not getting the option to kill Abby. Although ND made me empathize with her, I’ll always be loyal first to Joel and Ellie.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The REAL genius of this game is that the people most pissed about Joel dying are outraged FOR THE SAME REASON JOEL DID WHAT GOT HIM KILLED. They are self-centered, entitled men who went to toxic lengths to to reject the story they were told for the one in their heads, and are happy to COMPLETELY disregard the bigger picture of this world to play the hero. Shame there aren't enough golf clubs for all the haters. Heart broke for Ellie, Tommy, Dina, Jackson...but I also **** LOVE Abby & Lev. When she turned around to save those two kids, after after losing almost everything....I felt the same way I felt with Joel after the ranch house in 1. This game is about what is the last we have to give before there is no more of you left...and what it says about you. If you didn't get it, you weren't supposed to.… Expand

    It's a shame the game was reviewbombed before people even played it, but it's really great, a worthy second part for one of the best videogame stories. Naughty Dog is still the best in one on one character interactions and it shows again here.

    Don't listen to the haters or negative reviews, unless you are also homophobic, racist, and a miserable human being in general, in which case you won't like the game. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together will tell you this game is an absolute masterpiece.

TLOU2 is a complete masterpiece, the story is incredibly realistic for the world they live in, the characters were written well and made the player go through that world itself— a world of despair, hope, sadness, revenge, guilt, and emptiness. The graphics are the best I’ve seen, the audio is superb, the gameplay is as great as expected by Naughty Dog. Overall, to those who dislike the story: I don’t see how you can rate this game lower than an 8. The story is worth 3 points, Gameplay is 4 points, Graphics, audio, and game quality (stability, bugs, etc.) are worth 3 points. The story might not be liked by most immature people that can’t accept how dark a world like TLOU is, and somehow can’t understand that what Ellie and Abby feel are very human, but even then— if you dislike something, it doesn’t mean it is bad. Something can be great and still be disliked. Would actually take you all seriously if you rated it high but said you didn’t like it, solely because the game is factually, objectively, a masterpiece.… Expand

The plot is very individual for each person, but if you like the first part and play the second yourself, then I think you will like it. The game has become much tougher compared to the first part and this affects the plot; when you complete the game and see an incredibly symbolic ending, you will scroll through the history of parts 1 and 2 in the head for several days. The game is 95/10, like the first part, but I put 10 to level out biased estimates of a bunch of people who put zeros even without passing the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an emotional roller coaster. The graphics and the environments is amazing and well detailed. The combat is an upgrade from the first part. The game is a lot longer because there is more to tell. I get the hate about the inconsistency between character jumps and nobody likes flashbacks. Some characters are forgettable like Nora and Mel, but the rest have enough backstory to them. I'm glad that Ellie is able to reclaim her humanity by not killing Abby. Had she killed Abby, she would have become more broken and struggle to find herself in the same way that Abby did and maybe even worse. All in all, this was an amazing experience.… Expand

    Este juego es genial e incomprendido, quizá a mucha gente no le gusto la forma en como se contó la historia donde recurrieron a muchos flashbacks pero una vez que lo terminas y logras unir todas las piezas de la historia puedes comprender completamente los motivos que tenia Abby para matar a Joel y que ademas no fue un camino fácil de recorrer ya que le llevo 4 años encontrarlo.

    Por otro lado Ellie logra desquitar su odio frente a Abby pero la razón por la que la deja ir es simplemente porque entiende que ahora ella es una especie de Joel para Lev.

    Quizá el tiempo le dará la razón a The Last of Us aunque por ahora exista un repudio sin sentido.

    Del resto de los apartados (Gráficos, jugabilidad, ambiente, dificultad) sobra decir que es un trabajo estupendo y que esperamos pueda ser un estándar para los juegos de próxima generación.    … Expand

I think the world design is superb and actually improved from previous Naughty Dog titles. People just really need to try playing with an open mind because the world of The Last of Us is not a world of happy endings and fantasies. One downside I guess is there were unnecessary scenes that didn't quite impress me but overall, it really is a nice game. Art is not meant to please everybody and I think Naughty Dog won't impress everyone at this point, but for a major developer to have this courage in storytelling and game design, I gotta give them a 10.… Expand

    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]
