    Apart from the techniacel aspects, this game wanted to be judged solely on story. You asked for it, you got it. Save your money.

Que sea el jugador el que decida si muere Abby ahogada o la dejas marchar. Hubiera terminado mucho mejor. El resto de la historia y jugabilidad es soberbio y de lo mejor que se ha realizado en los últimos años.… Expand

    Absolutely terrible. I was a hardcore Last of Us fan and this game totally wasted my time. Full of plot holes and just a grind to play in the last hours. No payoff for the time you invest either. Game basically amounts to nothing. It feels more like a tech demo with cutscenes and only journalist mode (invisible while prone) makes it bearable to slog through the second half of the game.Absolutely terrible.

    I was always thinking that games are not related with violence in real world. I have changed my mind. This game was created to teach people hate and violence. Game for sadists, sociopaths and psychopaths. Disgusting.

    In a narrative driven game, the story is the highlight of it. This game does not deliver on this front. From out of character decisions, unlikeable characters to cheap tactics of manipulation that barely work.

    It's not even the decision and events early on, that are setting events for the entire game (which in itself, is quite dumb considering the reception) but the execution of it. The failed attempt of the second half of the game and the ending make it unbearable, it even ruined the first entry for me, I'll never be able to go back to it. I had a Dawn of Justice flashbacks during the cutscene. The themes explored are presented so bluntly and often, that in the end you're asking yourself what was this game about? It couldn't be that obvious and left unanswered, because the cliched answer can't be it in The Last of Us? Plus there's a serious case of false advertising it, calling it Ellie's story and naming her the protagonist without mentioning anything else is just plain wrong, it's just MGS2 but bad.
    Other than that, the game has beautiful world, minor improvements to the combat, better levels than the first entry. I think people praising AI just confuse aggressive AI with good AI, since it's still dumb and enemies will line up for you. The score also deserves praise. It would really be fine if it wasn't a sequel to The Last Of Us, like 6/7 out of 10. And please watch the podcast about Neil, Troy and Ashley talking about it. They have no idea what their game is about.    … Expand

    Why do users need to be mentally stressed while playing games?
    Will it make sense for me to be stressed in the game I paid for?
    If a story writer says political correctness through a famous game, should all users who play the game have to approve it?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you voted 0 to 5, didn't play the game because of the user score, or are disappointed with it, PLEASE read, i beg you.

    Let's just briefely talk about the gameplay, then we'll skip to the story:
    the combat is quite simple yet fun, with impeccable animations and interactions that make it very satisfying. The pacing is pretty much perfect, alternating combat, to exploration, to cutscenes, to a bit of platforming and puzzles; during all these sections the characters are constantly discussing (even the "bad guys"), and they are so well written that they feel like they're real people. Nothing to say about the technical aspects, best in class, crazy attention to detail and animations, i'd say they're unmatched (i didn't like the jumping animations and some of the dodges tho).

    I strongly belive that part 2 is far superior in every aspect, story and narration included, when compared to part 1. I get that yall are upset that they killed Joel, i was too, but i didn't immediately discarded the story as garbage because he died and came here to leave a 0 out of 10 review driven by rage, i trusted Neil and the team, if they made me care for the characters in the first part, they could do it again with other characters, even with the "villain", if Joel dies it's not the end of the world.

    I'm seeing people say that they are disappointed not because he died, but because he died in a stupid way, letting his guard down, something that he would never do. Now, he did let his guard down in the first game too when meeting new people, even if he had no reason to trust them (like Harry and Sam), but in this case he really had no choice to follow "the bad guys" inside the house, they were running away from a horde and there was a snowstorm outside. Also, they didn't have any reason not to trust them either, they had just saved Abby, so that was no reason for her to hurt them.
    I've seen people argue that Joel knew that the fireflies were looking for him so he shouldn't have told them his name, but thats just false, Joel knew that the fireflies were disbanded an that's it.

    The second big complaint is the ending: i know that what i'm about to say sounds pretentious, but please, PLEASE, hear me out with an open mind, you... probably did not understand the ending; the message is not "revenge bad", when you oversimplify this much, anything sounds stupid, even the gratest movie or book. When Abby spares Ellie and Dina in the theater, Ellie stops wanting revenge because she realizes that in order to get it she was gonna lose what she had left (Jesse killed, Tommy and Dina Wounded), at this poin she still kinda wants to kill Abby, but she realizes that it's probably not worth it. So her and Dina go to live peacefully in a farm, which was kind of a dream of theirs. But Ellie is still tormented and can't sleep, at this point she already doesn't want revenge anymore, what pushes her to go and try to kill Abby once again is her desire to "live again", to free herself from this burden, it's not a matter of making Abby suffer anymore, it's a matter of ending her own suffering.
    When she finally gets to Abby in Santa Barbara, she sees herself and Joel reflected in Lev and Abby, she hesitates for a moment but then she decides to fight, when she is about to kill her, she sees Joel, not the Joel covered in blood that she has been seeing all this time, but a peaceful Joel, sitting on the porch playing the guitar: this means that even tho she lost everything, in that moment she got her humaneness back, which means that she can now go back to living, she can move on, and she lets Abby join "her own Ellie", Lev, and lets them get away.

    I hope i did a good job at explaining what i think, as english is not my first lenguage, anyway my words aren't enough to describe all the emotions, so i implore you, play the game again (or get it if you didn't want to because of all the negative user reviews), but this time let it grow on you, try not to flag it as garbage from the start, let the emotions flow and let the events hit you as they should, do NOT be blinded by rage. If you watch a horror movie with the intention of not being scared, you are not gonna get scared, if you play TLOU2 with the intention of not feeling anything, you are not gonna feel anything.

    One last thing, for the first hour or so that i played as Abby, i hated it too. Just look at her like you used to look at Joel, as they are one and the same.

    Edit: after not even 10 seconds "0 people out of 2 found this review helpful", this is just hilarious, 2 people voted as not helpful and didn't even read it, guided by rage. Imagine asking a for a story to make sense (which btw it already does) while acting irrationally, great job everyone.    … Expand

    Still a brilliant game but not quite as strong as the first installment of the series. It makes some bold story choices which I've learned to accept and personally, I found abby's flashbacks added an interesting spin on the ending of the first game. I began questioning who was more deserving of seeking vengeance. I understand though why so many people are angry with ND's story decisions

"The Last of Us Part 2 is an unforgettable story about the nature of justice, the cycle of violence, and the radical empathy required to end it." That is the absolute perfect way to describe this game. is not just a copy or rehash of the original and i'm GLAD! Is that what people expected? Really? It did something completely different while still keeping the things that made the first game so great. Seems to me people can not seem to get over the major loss we experience here and are failing to see this story for what it is and is meant to be. Its absolutely beautiful. 10/10!

    Los gráficos son hermosos. La jugabilidad es mejorada y muy inmersiva. Felicitaciones al equipo de tecnología: hermosos fondos, movimiento y apariencia. Fue muy agradable ver a Joel y Ellie nuevamente, volviendo a viejos amigos de años anteriores. Tengo un profundo amor por Last of Us 1. Es por eso que no le doy al juego un cero plano.

    Pero este juego realmente me rompió el corazón.

    La historia fue terrible. Horrenda, horrible escritura. Poco desarrollo de los personajes, estaban tomando decisiones completamente fuera del personaje desde el principio. Lo que los definió antes, se ha ido, estas son diferentes personas con sus caras. Hicieron cosas solo para impulsar la historia y crear situaciones. Las personas cambian, pero destrozaron el núcleo de quiénes eran y todo lo que hizo que el juego fuera memorable.

    La historia en general fue una escritura perezosa. Tenían una lista de lecciones de la sociedad para golpear, y luego crearon una historia para mostrar esos puntos. El juego siguió dando conferencias con discursos, escenas y situaciones descaradamente obvias. Una y otra vez, debes aprender esta idea, como un vecino fastidioso que nunca pediste. El juego te obligaba a tragar las creencias y las posiciones del desarrollador del juego. Arruinó el juego.

    Por último, NINGÚN juego debería tratar activamente de hacerte sentir mal contigo mismo y con todo. Se sintió como un trabajo pesado en la miseria. Terminas odiando a todos en el juego.

    No lo recomiendo. Y odio a Neil D por arruinar un juego legendario y que amé con esta basura de secuela.    … Expand

Maybe it does not deserve 10/10 as I rated it. But haven't enjoyed any game like this since God of War. Not even RDR with it's obsolete game mechanics and ok story.

    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.
