    Honestly one of the best, if not the best game I have played. Negative reviews are not at all a accurate picture on this masterpiece. It is definitely game of the year material and not an easy game to stomach, but stick through it and you'll have a game that lasts you a lifetime and make you question any decision you make.

    Characters can be controversial, and that's the beauty of the character development in this universe (TLoU1, Left Behind, and TLoU2). People ARE controversial. Naughty Dog got the guts to do that in such an amazing way, felt like a slap to the face. This is a game about hate, how it leads to nothing, and its never ending cycle.

    No need to say anything about gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, acting, environment, and how the gameplay makes us feel the characters' feelings.

    Such an unique experience. 10 out of 10.    … Expand

    This game is a real masterpiece ! We go through so many emotions and feel empty once it's over. TLOU 1 and 2 are one of those game that I will always remember. ND did an amazing job.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es una verdadera maravilla si hablamos de jugabilidad, gráficos, ambientación, banda sonora y las mecánicas que proporciona a los jugadores. En esos aspectos considero que es uno de los mejores juegos que han salido en el año 2020, sin embargo "The Last Of Us" destacó en el pasado por su historia, los personajes y su desarrollo que tuvieron éstos.
    Dicho eso daré mi opinión sobre la historia y las decisiones que se tomaron en esta nueva entrega intentando dar argumentos que se sustenten con lo que la misma historia presentó.
    La historia comienza con la ya tan conocida muerte de Joel a manos de Abby, si bien fue una escena muy fuerte para todos los jugadores, al principio la consideré un acierto por parte de los guionistas por lo que mostraron en el primer juego. Viéndolo objetivamente Joel era un contrabandista que masacró a mucha gente y sentenció a la humanidad al no dejar que se pudiera hacer una cura, nosotros queríamos mucho a Joel porque conocíamos su historia y desarrollo pero tarde o temprano iba a aparecer alguien como Abby, un personaje que no conocía su historia y que solo lo iba a ver como un asesino egoísta que mató a su padre por sus propias razones.
    El trasfondo de su muerte me pareció bien por las cosas que acabo de mencionar, pero fue una terrible desición que las circunstancias en las que se encontraron Joel y Abby fueran extremadamente convenientes, sin mencionar que al hacer conveniente la situación también hicieron un hueco argumental en el que Joel junto con Tommy aceptan irse con un desconocido para meterse a una base sin armas con más desconocidos; esto es un hueco argumental porque en el primer juego Joel tenía un fuerte instinto de supervivencia llegando al grado de desconfiar de cuaquiera que se le atravesara.
    Después de su muerte todos los jugadores sentimos un profundo odio por Abby, sentíamos lo mismo que Ellie y solo queríamos una sola cosa, venganza. Las cosas que pasaron en los primeros tres días con Ellie en Seattle considero que estaban bien escritas, por ejemplo cuando Ellie descubre la verdad sobre lo que pasó en el hospital de las Luciérnagas (momento que fue perfecto narrativamente hablando por varias razones).
    Considero que la peor decisión que tomó Naughty Dog fue que tuviéramos que jugar obligatoriamente con la asesina de prácticamente el protagonista del primer juego con el objetivo de conocer su historia, fue un movimiento innecesario y completamente de mal gusto para todos nosotros, el tener que controlar al antagonista que mató cruelmente a Joel fue un fallo catastrófico.
    Estoy de acuerdo con que querían mostrar el otro lado de la moneda y entender las razones por las que Abby mató a Joel, a decir verdad tenía razones válidas, pero de eso a llegar al punto de jugar con ella y tratar de que empaticemos a la fuerza con un personaje que no conocíamos nada hizo que se perdieran 10 horas de juego. El momento en el teatro donde se encuentran al fin Ellie y Abby me sentía molesto e impotente de tener que jugar con Abby, parecía que ella era la protagonista del juego en lugar de Ellie.
    El final fue la gota que derramó el vaso, Ellie cruza medio país matando a cualquiera que se le ponga en frente para vengarse pero a la hora de la verdad decide no hacerlo sin ninguna justificación, simplemente no tenía razones para dejar viva a Abby, además que Ellie no completó su venganza fue castigada por el guión dejándola sola, sin hogar y sin dos dedos con los que tocaba la guitarra en momentos de crisis. En cambio Abby si completó su venganza y no fue castigada por el guión como lo fue Ellie.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is simply the best story based game ever. It is a masterpiece and the people rating it negatively fall into one of three camps:

    1. They are unable to play a game that does not have a happy ending or make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Your typical Vegetale type.

    2. They are bigoted towards LGBT and cannot stand playing a character that is queer. Your typical good 'ole boy or closeted type.

    3. They have not actually played the game. Your typical internet troll type.

    If you don't fall into these categories, do yourself a favor and play this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think they honestly did a really good job with this game. Yes I was sad about Joel’s death but at the same time the game would have been really boring just being in Jackson and going out doing stuff. I think them killing Joel they opened it for more content and a better story line. They could probably even continue it now and make the story line go further. I was also sad to see they switched out Joel from trailers and game play they originally had for him.It had really emotional parts and really adrenaline rushing parts. It was all over a really good game, it could have been a lot worse after he died but they made it really intriguing and fun.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the first game, many fans debated whether Joel was in fact the true villain of The Last of Us - saving Ellie but preventing any chance of a vaccine being created to help humankind in the post apocalyptic world they live in. We sympathise with Joel's decision because we spent an entire game sharing his experiences with Ellie and if we were in his shoes who is to say we wouldn't have made the same decision (as Tommy says at the beginning of Part 2).

    In The Last of Us Part 2 we get to see the aftermath of Joel's actions from the perspective of his victims - Abby finds her father killed along with all other fireflies that crossed Joel's path in the hospital. If we had never seen Joel and Ellie's journey I'm sure we would be rooting for Abby's revenge story but because we didn't, a lot of gamers straight up refused to see or accept Abby's reasons for wanting to kill Joel. Who wouldn't want to get revenge on the man who killed their father?

    I was truly gutted that Joel died so early on in the game and it was a difficult scene to watch. However, it is a major plot device that propels Ellie into her revenge rampage in Seattle. I enjoyed the flashback scenes with Joel showing how he had settled down in Jackson County and trying to repair his deteriorating relationship with Ellie after the events of the first game. In Joel's last flashback scene with Ellie they both agree to wanting to move forward, with Ellie prepared to try and forgive Joel. Tragically, by the time this scene is shown, we know that will be the last time they speak.

    The game contrasts Abby and Ellie's revenge stories well, showing Abby succeed but not stopping the pain of losing her father so she focuses her life by helping Lev. Ellie had the chance to be happy; she had a home, Dina and baby JJ but her PTSD and a push from Tommy set her off again. I've seen many comments that Tommy's actions here are completely out of character but at this point he had lost so much - Joel, witnessing Jesse's death, his relationship with Maria, his eye and now left with restricted mobility, so why wouldn't he be hell-bent on revenge? Tommy current state of mind here is similar to where Ellie was after Joel's death.

    Ellie had already lost Dina and JJ the moment she left to kill Abby again, so even if she had succeeded she would still be left with nothing afterwards; Ellie breaks the cycle of revenge and the characters have a chance to move on to try and find some happiness. I've seen more comments saying this is out of character for Ellie (just like the early Tommy comments I mentioned) and that she had no problem killing all those people in Seattle, but I believe she was too blinded by revenge to stop and see what was happening and that she was basically doing what Joel did at Salt Lake City Hospital. It's not until she has the chance to finally kill Abby that an image of Joel playing his guitar appears in her head - this is significant because since his death, Ellie had been unable to remember his face (as depicted in Ellie's journal with drawings of Joel's distorted face) but for the first time since then, Joel's face finally appears to her. Ironically, if Ellie had not left Dina and JJ at the farm, Abby would have most likely died at the hands of the Rattlers along with Lev, so in reality Ellie saved their lives.

    Upon returning to the empty farm, it is shown that Ellie can no longer play the guitar due to losing some fingers in the final battle with Abby, losing yet another connection she had with Joel. Ellie's greatest fear that she shared with Sam in the first game was to end up alone and her need for revenge saw that come true at the end of this game.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion but just because it didn't go how you wanted it to it doesn't make it a bad game. I personally preferred the first instalment but Part 2 decides to take a different route rather than mirroring it's predecessor (not to mention introducing some greatly improved gameplay features), keeping it fresh and further exploring revenge, forgiveness and the consequences of actions in a post apocalyptic world.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I flat out loved this game! Honestly, I think there a couple genuine flaws I'll admit to. The game does tend to drag missions on just barely pass expiration dates sometimes (but usually this is allayed by still having a helluva culmination to the mission waiting for ya!). I also feel that as much as the switch works for me, interspersing the character switches throughout the game might have helped some others better empathize with Abby and feel for her. I still found myself torn between the two characters even as they attempted to murder one another, but I suppose I can see where others are coming from. Now, looking pass that, I pretty much just see gold.
    Going back to what I said earlier, I feel a large point of the game was to feel the cycle of revenge from both perspectives, to recognize yourself as Ellie playing almost the villain of the story and that really hit home for me, taking advantage of the growing discomfort the game had been building with Ellie's actions to slam it home by having us walk our killing grounds and interacting with our future victims.
    This sympathy got further enforced with Ellie on that farm, unable to cope with Joel's death and move on, allowing us to really feel the life Joel had left Abby with for years.
    It used this empathy to ultimately foster a sense of forgiveness towards both this game's protagonists as well as for Joel. So, more so than the goal of revenge, that forgiveness proved to be the thing Ellie needed. Not for Abby, though I think she came as close to it as possible, but for Joel and herself.

    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.
