    Only an idiot can rate this game under 9/10. Its a masterpiece whatever the IDIOTS say. Story, gameplay, visuals all that components are 10/10. Deep emotional sense story showing what we are and we can become. Just dont read the lower reviews because they are useless and they dont make sense !

    An exceptional sequel. Simple plot but beautifully told, not understood by many since it distances itself from the usual videogame narrative canons. Incredible, deep, varied and fun gameplay. Graphically is something stratospheric. A masterpiece of this generation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Phenomenal game. It was such an emotional experience. the graphics are the best out there, the voice acting is incredible, and the gameplay is always so fun and intense. The story is also incredible, and it is the only game I actually cried in. There has been some criticism of the story. The main reason is Joel's death. People are mad at the disrespectful way he was killed and how they don't like Abby and her friends. There are also more reasons for the hate of this game, but I am just listing the two reasons I think are the main ones. About the reactions of Abby and her accomplices: People think that when they play a game they have to agree with everything that happens in it. That is not the case, especially in this game. This game gives you the facts of a situation, and lets you decide how to feel. About Joel's death: I agree that his death was disrespectful, but I think that the disrespectfulness of the death is a good thing, it shows you how violent and serious the world of The Last of Us 2 is. It also fuels the fire of hatred against Abby. Overall, it makes you think about what the characters do and what they are, and changes you as a person.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esta madrugada me pasé del tirón el juego, sobre las 2:30 cuando me he levantado a las 7:30 para ir a currar. Y me mantengo en lo que dije anteriormente, es el mejor juego al que he jugado y amplia y mejora aún más la excelente primera parte. A nivel técnico, en todos los sentidos : gráfica, artística y audiovisualmente y también de rendimiento, es lo mejor que hay en ps4 incluso que Rdr2 ,aunque para mi es el 2 en el top.
    Jugablemente es una delícia, amplia y mejora todo lo del primero, añadiendo la agilidad del personaje. Y narrativamente, no hay otro juego que que te haga sentir tal nivel de empatía con los personajes, de emociones de todo tipo (rabia, culpa, comprensión...), mejorando incluso al primero que ya es decir. En cuanto a la historia, lo pondré en spoiler evidentemente, me parece brutal y solo rezo para que la futura serie de HBO tenga una temporada 2 y sea sobre esta continuación, además que espero sepan captar el tono de las 2 partes.
    Lo importante de la historia de esta segunda parte, al igual que en la primera no es tanto su calidad o complejidad sino cómo está contada. Aunque ha crecido en ramificaciones e historias paralelas, sobretodo por todo el arco argumental de Abby, lo que la hace excelsa es la manera que tiene que te implique con los personajes y sus emociones. A parte de la valentía de usar un medio en el que casi la totalidad de los argumentos son blanco y negro, es decir de buenos y malos, para hacer ver al jugador el punto de vista del otro y consiguiendo algo inaudito en este medio, humanizar al "malo" poco a poco al manejarlo e ir conociendo su historia, pasada y futura. Y de una manera magistral, sin grandes alardes o explicaciones te muestra las consecuencias de una obsesión malsana, aunque muy humana, como la venganza. La venganza y lo que se desprende de llevarla acabo cueste lo que cueste es el motivo, el motor de toda esta segunda parte. Y aun así, incluso cuando Ellie retoma la senda del odio y la venganza, empatizas con ella, te hace cómplice de la culpa y el dolor de perder a Joel y sobretodo de poderle haberle dicho que lo perdonaba. Y al final cuando Ellie está a punto de perder del todo su humanidad, llega el acto de redención cuando es capaz de perdonarse a sí misma (a Joel ya lo había perdonado hace mucho) y ve reflejada su historia con Joel en Abby y Lev, al final puede emparizar con ella al igual que nosotros lo hemos hecho. Y te hace ver, al igual que en la vida real, que lo normal es que ni haya buenos y malos, blanco o negro, sino humanidad y una enorme escala de grises. Que aquel al que odias tanto, se parezca más a ti mismo que de lo que crees. Después de este tochazo, sigo viendo que podría hablar mucho más sobre lo que han conseguido en este videojuego.

    Para acabar, este last of us parte 2 junto con el primero son lo que fué Watchmen para los cómics, un golpe en la mesa para que este medio, los videojuegos, se vean como algo más allá de un simple entretenimiento para adolescentes y Peter Pans.    … Expand

    Seriously. I started a Metacritic account just so I could write this review to counteract all the negative review bombing happening from all these haters.

    The Last of Us Part II is the most amazing story-driven game ever to be released. I have played a lot of video games in my day and nothing even comes close (maybe God of War but still...). I personally think this game requires a certain level of emotional maturity to truly appreciate, which is part of the reason people have been hating on it so much. This game does not hold your hand. It won't be nice to you and play out the way you think it should. This game is rated M for Mature, and it requires that maturity to appreciate it. If you have a lot of psychological issues or consider yourself to be rather emotionally fragile, this may not be the game for you. The story and gameplay are both incredibly grounded in reality. It is brutal. It is heavy. And it is f*cking beautiful.

    If you only like action-packed games where you run around and kill enemies thoughtlessly to get more points or whatever, go buy Call of Duty or DOOM (which by the way, I am not bashing those as I enjoy them both).

    If you want something new, take a risk and play The Last of Us Part II. Naughty Dog has broken the mold as to what storytelling in video games can become. Just remember to go into with an open mind and a realization that your journey will be brutal. I cannot state enough how impressed I am. Each element of TLOU2 is immaculately thought out. The fighting, the gunplay, the stealth, the exploring, the puzzles, the collectibles, the voice acting, the environments, the enemy design, the music (god, the music... best ever). It is all perfectly crafted to create a believable dog-eat-dog story set in a post-apocalyptic world. Naughty Dog outdid themselves. Don't believe all the negative hype. This game is the real deal.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely stunning in every aspect. Visually incredible, attention to detail is incredible, level design has improved drastically since TLOU1. I know lots of people complain about the story, but in my opinion I don’t agree with almost all of the complaints. Joel had to die in this game. People complaining about this overlook the events of the first game. It cannot be simplified down to one line, “revenge bad”. The game takes us through a story of complex characters changing as we go, and to see them grow and evolve as well as the subtle details really make the story come to life. It is a truly human story and I loved all of it, BECAUSE of us having to play as the villain. The game did something bold, and it is very complex. In my opinion, that’s what makes the game great.… Expand

    First of all I want to point out that the Story is anything else but poor, it's a piece of genius. I feel sad see all the bad reviews for a game where many people put their whole effort and love in it. I get why many people hate the Story decisions.

But as Joel said "I wish things where different, but they ain't". Most times Life makes the worst decisions and that is what makes the Games Story realistic. And I love it how they managed to write and develop such a comprehensible and relatable antagonist. Another thing I have to talk about are the dialogs and the emotions, both are like nothing else, more realistic than in any other game before.
    The Graphics are just awesome and sets high stakes for upcoming PS5 Games. The most realistic looking characters and animations ever seen in a video game.
    The gameplay is absolute solid. They took the base from the first game improved it in every aspect and added some mechanics. What more do you want?
    The soundtrack by Gustavo Santaolalla is perfect again and gives the right atmosphere.
    All in all this game is a masterpiece just as it's predecessor, with a story that makes you think about justice and how useless revenge is.
    I'm looking forward to Part III which is coming to PS5 for sure.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a pretty brilliant character study, but it's also a fun (yes, fun) third-person stealth shooter with some next level gore effects. The story goes to some **** up places but it's not 100% misery porn, and it's less about revenge than it is about empathy and forgiveness.

    The criticisms that are valid (though I don't agree with them, I understand them): it's kinda long compared to other Naughty Dog games, clocking in at 21 hours for me personally, with a time rewind at the halfway point that makes the pace feel a bit strange; the story can be really dark and unforgiving, at times relentlessly so, to the point that I wouldn't recommend it to someone who can't handle watching movies about trauma; not every character is developed all that well (Isaac, and some of the minor WLF characters).

    The criticisms I don't consider valid at all: Joel deserved a noble death (nobody in The Last of Us deserves a noble death); Joel acted out of character before his death (he spent 5 years settling down in Jackson, helping strangers regularly with Tommy, and it is a sign of his growth as a character to have his final act be a heroic one (saving Abby)); Abby is unrealistically buff (living as a soldier in a stadium with a **** farm and a working gym oughta make you fit, not to mention her bulking up so much is motivated by her desire for revenge that lasts for 4 years compared to Ellie's rampage happening over three days); playing as Abby is false advertising or something (go check out the marketing materials for MGS2 that made it look like you'd be playing as Snake); ending sucks (if you wanted to kill Abby after everything that happened, you clearly went into this game wanting to hate it -- like, even if you don't forgive Abby, the fact is that she's not really any different from Ellie, so if you didn't want Abby to kill her in Seattle, you shouldn't want her to kill Abby at the end).

    10/10 because I've never seen a Naughty Dog game balance their gameplay and narrative so well before, and because you can shoot people's **** legs off.

    PS - if you hate this game, remember that games are an artistic work like a movie or a TV show, so if you buy it and you dislike it, it's not the same as if you buy a vacuum and it doesn't work. The Last of Us Part II is undeniably a polished and well made product, so if you disagree with the artistic choices, tough **** stop sending the creatives who worked on the game death threats ffs.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found my first playthrough a miserable experience and would have rated it a 5 or a 6.

    In attempt to explore my feelings about the game I did another playthrough, but everytime I went to unravel a thread I thought I had seen I found nothing but solid rope.
    I never managed to justify my initial impression, in fact I found that the game is actually exceptionally well written and directed..

    I feel like it my initial reaction might have had something to do with the inconsistent nature I view characters I'm playing as opposed to when I'm watching characters on tv. They are obviously characters and they have completely separate motivations from me and will make choices I would not but when you are playing as a character that isn't wildly different from you and they make reasonable choices in games you get to feel like you are the character, so when the character then begins to makes choices outside the bounds of what I would have chosen there is some level of cognitive dissonance there. This means I had to learn to watch Ellie just simply as a character and not entangle myself in her choices. In addition there were some choices the character made that actually were consistent with ones I would have made, because of an unhealthy obsession with reaching a goal that predictably lead to some bad consequences and that didn't feel good.

    Edit: Thinking it through, I really feel it stems from the ending of the first game. Remembering back to my first reactions to it I rather disliked being forced to kill one of the last remaining doctors in that world but in the years since, I've forgotten the worst acts of Joel and since it's muddled with me "being" Joel and knowing Joel is at heart a good person I've built up stories and psychological defenses to justify the acts. This game destroyed those defenses and I didn't want to admit that in a way, as Ellie, I was ultimately chasing after myself.

    I still love Joel though, as a character that had to make a horrible choice that I in some sense can understand and doesn't ultimately boil down to black and white, evil or good.. Just **** up..

    As a final note, I would recommend that you pay attention to what is going on in Ellies journal. I didn't really understand why Ellie and Dina where even a thing before I read in there that they have known eachother for years and Ellie clearly had a crush on her from before. This might be the only major weakness I found, it's fairly subjective though, others might just accept that they seem in love and are good together but for whatever reason I just didn't find it very believable before I read those journal entries.    … Expand

    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]
