    Emotionally exhausting and devastating. I thought that some of the story beats were superfluous and that the game was a bit too long. Nevertheless, this comes close to video game perfection. You will not agree with the character’s decisions, which can be really frustrating. But that’s sort of the point of this game’s narrative.

It is an excellent game, exquisite soundtrack, delightful graphics, smooth move, dinamic, a great develope of characters, even the new ones which initially you hate them, you finish for love them, you can connect with them, great written, and most important, fine inmersive history and feelings, all that we ask for in an one last exclusive Play Station generation game. Thanks Naughty Dog, for giving us the opportunity of made this sad, enjoyable trip, part of our gaming souls, now, and forever.… Expand

    Everything is incredible for me: the graphics, the sound/soundtrack, the stealth and action game play, the mix of intense and laid back moments, the characters (other than Manny), the smallest details, and most of all the story.

I've never cried multiple times in a game or thought so much about a game weeks after I played finished it. But this game did that to me. Part I was my favorite game of all time, and now part II is.

    PS the overwhelming amount of 0s and 1s were from people in the 1st 24 hours after release, on a 30 hr game. In other words most didn't actually play the game or all of it. Review bombed. People are triggered easily.    … Expand

    The game is great. One of the most polished games I've ever played. Amazing graphics, animation and voice acting. Just like the first game it will make you feel tension and emotions.

    it's a gruesome and down to earth experience, unpredictable from beginning to end, and i'd recommend it to anyone who can stomach a reality check or ten. The gameplay is spectacular and probably the most detailed game in the entire market. Hoping for more in the future.

    Best game so far. What happened to original characters is sad but it's the justice every one has to accept because killing innocent people who are willing to do good for world was not the heroism. Best gameplay almost near to the reality

    The best thing in game is that u can feel the pain and stress when you are killing a person in game. This game surely taken the gamming industry to next level

    Absolutely, completely and utterly stunning achievement. BOTW used to be my #1 game, it was nearly perfect... Yet, Naughty Dog has reached the peak of this industry, virtually everything in TLOU2 is impeccable. I can't believe how good this game is, and I terribly pity those who didn't feel what we've felt while playing it and finishing it.

Todo el Drama por este juego, el caos, la crítica absurda me dio miedo al momento de iniciar, los primeros minutos son duros, en cuanto a la historia, matar al personaje principal no es cosa fácil (personalmente) hubiera preferido buna muerte más digna pero va de acuerdo a la Historia, las únicas partes que en verdad no me gustaron son cuando controlas a Abby, que conoces su parte de la historia (yo se que es para demostrar los errores al matar a personas) se vuelve tediosa y al final no te termina importando, se vuelve tedioso, la escena de la isla con todo en llamas es de un shooter genérico en 3era persona, y la pelea con Ellie controlando a Abby, obviamente no quiero lastimar a Ellie, pero te obligan, la muerte de Jesse sin sentimiento repentina, pero es un final admirable, que te deja una moraleja, lo disfruté y lo seguiré jugando, Gracias Naughty Dog, un excelente juego… Expand

    Gran Juego, una obra de arte. Totalmente recomendable para jugarlo y rejugarlo, tiene una jugabilidad, ambiente, gráficos y música perfectos. El principal problema puede caer en la historia que hay que recalcar es buena más no perfecta. Un gran juego con una historia muy cruel para el jugador.

    It’s an amazing game — the praise it gets is well deserved. TLOU2 sends you on an emotional rollercoaster, offering a mature story about revenge and also forgiveness. The game mechanics are superb, the attention to details is impressive and in typical Naughty Dog tradition. For me this is a serious contender for the GOTY 2020 (at least until Cyperpunk 2077 is being released in November

This game may have a powerful story as the critics say, but it is with a dark story and is not what was expected after all waiting for 7 years. They could have atleast upped their execution.

    The Gameplay, Sounds, Design all were top notch. Those were the work of the crunched developers rolling through the countless overtime hours they worked for. I could point out the small details that made the Gameplay much more realistic. Looking forward to unique games like the tlou in the future. Gameplay - 10/10

    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]
