    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Juego magnífico, tanto por sus gráficos, jugabilidad, personajes de historia. Lamento mucho el odio generado, creo que esta gente no sabe que pueden hacer mucho daño a otros. Tanto por los comentarios homófobos, tránsfobo y Anti-semita. Es genial que te guste personaje pero decir tal barbaridad no tiene justificación
    Por suerte pude disfrutar el juego sin spoiler y tener ideas ya en la cabeza y poder sentirlo por mí misma. Lo dicho, todas las opiniones son respetables pero dar notas tan bajas reconocer que no es realista, simplemente pataleta.    … Expand

    Game and graphics is just one of the best things I've ever seen In my life (and I'm a Pc player), you can kill an enemy and watch his face while you're staving a knife over him (THAT kind of detail).

    About the plot, I didn't care too much about what people said that game is just made to make LGTBI happy and all that.... you don't really care too much about that when you are enjoying yourself killing and surviving with Ellie or even Abby. Story is very well written but is an adult and kind of sad story (as one of the best movies you've seen)... Naugthy Dog made one of a hell violent game but with a price... so they decided to make players think about deep stuff as revenge... or losing someone special.

    10/10 for me , Ellie is one of the most human characters you can find out there.

    A worthy successor to one of the best games ever made. I kept myself totally spoiler free and it was my most memorable gaming experience since part one. It’s a very rough ride, but well worth seeing to the end. It’s a mature game and I would not recommend it to anyone underage.

    Anyway, highly recommended to give this an honest chance!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What's the point of all this? What are we left with? The plotline is stupid, the only outcome is some people dead. It was cool to show the problem from different perspectives, to make the need to kill Abby not black or white, but all that the creators achieved is my compassion and love to Abby and a strong need to kill that teenage brat Ellie as soon as possible. By going into retrospective mode you give the plotline a wider meaning, but a retrospective of the whole game from Abby's point of view makes you bored and the problem is you already know she's gonna survive since well, it's a retrospective. You know who lives and who dies for 59% of the game. The seraphins? Just a pothole filler. No need for them in the game. Wasted potential of a cult. It exists and dont ask questions. Did Abby seriously not kill Ellie because a child was sad looking at it? Why did nobody die at the end? They've killed so many characters that I became immune to care about any of them. The games mechanics is pretty much the same as in previous part but that's ok - we play Naughty Dog productions for plot. Which sucks. There's too many stupid encounters. You kill 20 people jump out of the window and there's 20 again. After Abby's day 2 I started to not care and just run. What's the point of dogs or arrows stuck in players body? They came up in maybe two scenes just to irritate the heck out of me and be gone. How come Ellie can kill a clicker silently no probs and the Arnold/Abbie NEEDS A GOD DAMN SHIV?! Why change mechanics for different characters? I'm pissed off because of the guys with machetes and axes. He kills you with a single blow, no need to run - he hits you with 3m range. How many times I can't even count I got killed by a guy hitting me in the face with simple fists because he got me cornered and I can't run. There's boss fights in too small areas where you have problems to run, turn around, aim and shoot because before you even start aiming - you are already being eaten by a big zombie. There's too many scenes 'oopsie I'm coming out of the window and somebody out of nowhere attacks me or the ground underneath me is gone.' dozens of them god damn it. I really hope that if there ever will be part 3 it's going to be about Abby and Ellie is going to be 6 feet underground. I don't care about LGBTQ+ perspective in games as long as it's well made and with a point. it makes sense. Ellie being lesbian? Okay, fine, cool idea. Raising a child together? oK, that's life. Cool. That scar kid? That felt unnecessary and pointed out just to smile to some people. Highly disappointed the plot Leaves you at the starting point minus some people.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly I don’t see why people hate on this game so much. Killing Joel in the first 2 hours was supposed to make you angry and make you feel how Ellie was feeling. The gameplay is amazing and is very satisfying. Having you play as Abby in the second half of the game is supposed to make you feel bad for Abby and see that what Joel did was not heroic. He wiped the fireflys out to save one person. The only thing I have against it is forcing you to play as Abby in the first fight between Abby and Ellie… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is so well thought out. I enjoyed the parallels between both the first game and Part 2. What happened to Joel was was happened to Sarah in the first game except now it was someone we loved that we lost. Joel is far from perfect and we see that Ellie is no different and it takes a lot before she realises that she has to let something go otherwise it will drive her to madness. It happened right at the end before that realisation came and we had to witness it and it makes you realise that you yourself have gotten caught up in the idea of revenge that it's disappointing to not see Abby get what she deserves. Even after learning her reasoning behind killing Joel. That's life and it sucks. Sometimes you have to just let it go.

    The gameplay is much improved from the first game and the combat and inventory management is so much better. The world itself feels fuller and the infected are somehow even scarier. I think the Audio in the game is amazing and it helps make it more scarier.

    Playing as Abby is very jarring, especially once you get to Ellie. So much confliction. I can't wait for my second playthrough.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This franchise has set a new standard for me in the future of gaming. No movie nor game has made me feel the way this game has. The exploration on each minute character tells their own story and you get to see that. Whether you're reading a note from a broken family or hearing your enemies scream in anguish as their closest friends since the outbreak just got slashed to death. To having to survive and killing any human, animal or infected to survive, you can really immersive yourself in it. The fluidity of the combat and the agility of your character is something I greatly valued in this game. The new ways of surviving and utilising the equipment you have at your disposal is very refreshing and strategic too. I couldn't of wanted more in a game, and I am keen to see where things go from here.… Expand

    While not quite the perfect game the first one was, this still shaped out to be a very worthy successor. Go into it with an open mind, ignore the hate (because most of it is from people who haven't played), and get ready for a rollercoaster ride of a game.

But for me, its just down my alley. This is a game YOU need to experience. To give your own judgement. Not **** on it based on some leaks. At the end of the day its the most pre-ordered and best selling PS4 exclusive of all time with more than 4 million copies sold in the first 3 days of release. I think that says a lot. If you dont wanna buy it, at least borrow it from a friend. Its worth a try. Oh and also, if you want to see real ratings go on the PS Store. Where you can only rate a game ONLY IF YOU BOUGHT IT!!

I don't get why many people are mad at how they killed Joel. Joel is never a good guy. Ellie believed in the fireflies the whole life, but Joel took that away from her. I like Joel for his will and power to do what he believes is right, but that doesn't mean he should have a happy ending. As of Abby, I bet few even finished the second half of the game. She has a sophisticated and well-developed character. Not immediately likable, but deserves better than this wide criticism.… Expand

    Truly a worthy sequel. Improves on the gameplay and mechanics of the first game in so many ways. Glad to see a big franchise taking risks in the narrative and personally I loved the direction they took with the story, although some people may find it too raw. It's a shame it's getting review-bombed all over because it's truly a great game to play, even if you're not a fan of the story.

I loved it all the way through and once again the game made me feel something I don’t feel often.

    Sul finale non ho niente da dire, dato che io speravo in quello dall'inizio. Secondo me,oltre al lato tecnico,la forza di The last of us 2 è la regia delle cutscene e quelle fantastiche scene che sono molto facili da confondere con un film di estrema fattura. In sostanza il gioco è fantastico tranne per alcuni aspetti che più di tanto non lo rovinano e che possono sempre essere sistemati in futuro.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't understand why people are hating this game. "Oh my favorite character dies, boo-whoo!" Well, welcome to the real world. Cause that's what TLOU Part 2 is: the real world, with real people, in a post apocalyptic view. And just like the real world, no one is immortal. We're all human beings and our lives could be cut short in any moment. "But the entire story is just non sensical! I mean, all of this just to get revenge and in the end, Ellie lets Abby go? That's **** Yeah, because I'm sure that if a person you loved was killed like that in front of your eyes you would take a break and veeeery calmly come up with a plan on how to get your revenge. Surely you wouldn't act on impulse, pushed by the hate, no no. And in case you didn't notice, the more time passes, the more Ellie realizes that she wasn't doing the right thing, especially after the fight in the theater, where Abby spares her (and Dina) for the second time. But then, convinced by Tommy, she wants to go find Abby again, and in the final battle she understand that her sleepless nights were not due to Abby being alive, but on how her relationship with Joel ended. Ellie will never be able to tell Joel that she was sorry for how she treated him and for what she told him. That's why she lets Abby go. Killing her wouldn't have solved anything. Plus, the Abby gameplay was crucial to the story, to make you understand her point of view; to make you understand that neither Ellie nor Abby are right or wrong. Every hero is someone else's villain, remember that. Now that I took this out of my chest, what can I say about the game? Truly a masterpiece.… Expand

But then I fell in love with the second half as well as the first. The boss fight in the hospital is so awesome that I haven’t admired such things in games for a long time.

    Gameplay is very much like the first The Last of Us (TLOU). It does add more stealth options: crawling and being able to hide in tall grass. And in combat you can now dodge enemy melee attacks. The survival aspects have not changed that much. The amount of items you scavenge has increased slightly (played on hard difficulty). It allows you to use crafted items/ammo more often than in TLOU 1. It seems enemies no longer drop the ammo you are currently using which helps a bit with immersion. There still are pretty much the same limits on ammo and items you can carry. While it is slightly illogical it helps to keep the survival tension very real throughout the game.

    Graphics are absolutely amazing and breathtaking. Animations are so smooth and fluid. It makes it really hard to go back to play other PS4 titles. This really looks and feels like next gen. The amount of detail in the world you go through in this game is also really incredible.

    Sound and music is also top notch. Really helps with the immersion.

    Story is the divisive one. I personally loved it, but as you can see from the user score and some youtuber reviews, not everyone did. But for me it was an emotional rollercoaster and i enjoyed it for most of the journey.

Each character has their own name, and seeing how people react to the deaths around them made each character feel much more human. Even the dogs have names and I feel terrible after each one I take down. And the ways the enemies get smarter after each kill is amazing. Then there's the story. Never has any story brought me so much emotion like this game has. It brings you to the extreme hatred after Joel is killed, then you start to sympathize with the killer. It really definitely made every character feel a lot more realistic.… Expand

    I still feel that the first game is better, narrative-wise, but gameplay was improved throughout.

    From animations to gunplay and especially the semi-open world areas. The narrative, although a simple revenge story, does confront the player with quite a horrific question. Is revenge justifiable?
