You emotions are twisted to the breaking point...People day it is only a game...The reactions of People who are fans of Tlou were so polarized about the game play...Attests to its strength...The game teaches without preaching that revenge can destroy a person.

    Honestly not that bad, but with the way the review companies are talking about the game, it does come off as utter nonsense. This game is a 7.5/10 at best, not a masterpiece, as some would have you believe. My main issue is with how bad the story telling is, for a AAA company like Naughty Dog, who specializes in story based games, this game is a total train-wreck in terms of storytelling.Honestly not that bad, but with the way the review companies are talking about the game, it does come off as utter nonsense. This game is a 7.5/10 at best, not a masterpiece, as some would have you believe. My main issue is with how bad the story telling is, for a AAA company like Naughty Dog, who specializes in story based games, this game is a total train-wreck in terms of storytelling. The actual story itself isn't super new or unique, but that doesn't mean it's devastatingly bad either.

    I won't go in dept as i have better things to do, but a summarized version of what would've been better: storytelling that doesn't feel all over the place and random, instead a rather linear but conflicting story-line between the two protagonists (which honestly felt like what the game was trying to do but failed miserably), not killing off main and side characters just for that 'wow' effect (some scenes felt like they were being violent for the sake of being violent, and don't actually contribute to the plot or anything), not killing off main characters super early and then forcing them back in through flashbacks (this allows for proper pacing to develop your character and make their death have a larger impact, writing 101 i guess), reworking that ending entirely as it is not thoroughly justified at all, properly try to develop characters and not force players to empathize with some of them. There are more things i could nitpick, but like i said my main issue was the junior level storytelling.
    Overall i rate this game a 'meh' out of 10.
    Also, have to get in my obligatory "Joel-in-One, Bigot Sandwiches".    … Expand

    Otro problema es la trágica y dura muerte de Joel, ya que para muchos fue lo más trágico que le podían hacer al personaje principal del primer juego con el que varios nos encariñamos,, con esta nueva historia su muerte no fue la merecida y el jugar con su propia asesina (Abby), es un punto conflictivo, porque nadie quería jugar siendo esa mujer, aunque sus intenciones tuvieran justificación no es así como debía hacerlo... Al final de la historia se da a entender el porqué Ellie dejó vivir a Abby, siendo ella una personaje que sus deseos de venganza la hicieron perder todo, o al menos eso es lo que da a entender. No digo que sea mal juego, solo que tuvo unos puntos que lo hicieron tener un promedio regular (de mi parte), y personalmente el pensar en la historia me decir que no hagan el juego canónico, sino otra historia y que un juego mejor desarrollado de acuerdo a la opinión de los jugadores se pueda concretar una historia y juego digna de esta franquicia...    … Expand

    It could be a normal game if only it was standalone and we didnt knew main characters. It doesnt have any connection to the lore, the story about hate could live separate from TLOU world. Damn, they sleep in world of mushroom zombie with open windows. But most disappointing thing is drawn dramaturgy with stupid characters intensions. You playing in this game and just dont believe it.

    It is hard to imagine what went on in the Naughty dog development studio all these years. To make up a story as ridiculous as this in all these years is mind boggling. A game where the story is everything suffers way too much from this. Unlikeable characters, unnecessary new characters, out of character choices, ridiculous plotholes, the list goes on and on.

    The game does look good and the level desginers have done a good job. Too bad it cant save the absolute trainwreck that is the rest of the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A mi parecer es uno de los mejor juegos creados, una historia oscura, deprimente, violenta, un relato muy bien logrado, la inclusión de nuevos personajes de forma certera. Naughty Dog va al limite en esta creación,
    nos muestra que siempre hay 2 caras de una misma historia, que TLOU no es un juego de héroes y antagonistas, nos muestra lo frágil y humanos que son sus personajes, que todo acto tiene su consecuencia.
    creo que the last of us II, no es fácil de entender, de comprender o incluso de disfrutar, juega de manera sublime con las emociones de sus jugadores. Realmente creo que hay personas que no estaban listas para jugarlo.
    En el apartado gráfico y mecánicas de jugabilidad excelente.    … Expand

    Es una continuación fiel de el primero, la historia tiene huecos lo que hace que sea difícil entender el final pero una vez analizándolo de una perspectiva menos emocional, es un final digno y abierto a una continuación, si te gustan los juegos con historias inmersivas este es uno que no debe de faltar

    One of the best games i ever played. The graphics are incredible, with lots of details, it’s really impressive! Besides, the game has a great story, and give us a great lesson that in life there’s no good or evil, and everyone has the good and the bad side, depending of how you look it.

    One of the greatest games I have ever played. This game takes the necessary risks to elevate it to the next level. For those wanting more of the same as far as story than this isn't for you. This is a complete vision coming to life and also pulling it off in my opinion. Give it a chance and keep an open mind, you owe it to yourself to do that much.

    Not much to talk about, just a great game. The gameplay is something I've never seen before in any game, attention to detail and finishing are incredible too. And the story, although it has a unpredictable ending, is phenomenal.

En lo que a gameplay se refiere, se mantiene casi fiel a la obra original con algunos cambios que dan dinamismo y refrescan los enfrentamientos. En apartado técnico es simplemente espectacular, las capturas de movimiento y faciales son abrumadoras, sonido inmersivo que con un 5.1 o audífonos es una experiencia notable, con opciones inclusivas para todo tipo de jugador, en estos apartados sin duda es lo mejor que se ha visto en una ps4. Quitando la polémica este es uno de los mejores juegos de esta generación le guste a quien le guste. NaghtyDog como siempre dejando la vara muy alta!!.

    I loved this game. it's probably either my favourite or second favourite game of all time.
    There are a few criticisms I've seen that I want to address. Firstly there's the bigots who just dislike that this involves LGBTQ+ characters and their opinions can be immediately ignored. Secondly there's the people who    Made a Metacritic account to counterbalance the negativity on here.

    Firstly there's the bigots who just dislike that this involves LGBTQ+ characters and their opinions can be immediately ignored.

    Secondly there's the people who dislike the story. To this I'd say each to their own, but I personally enjoy stories that challenge me. This won't be for everyone but by no means is it objectively bad. That's just ridiculous. Ignore anyone who says this. It takes some surprising and unusual routes, but the story to me was fantastic, challenging and original. I've never played a game that made me experience so much emotion, or stay with me in the same way. That said, that's my opinion, clearly a lot of people didn't experience the story the way I did. I think that's a shame because I found it truly astounding.

    Lastly I've seen some criticism of the scavenging gameplay. It's almost exactly the same as the first game, so if you didn't enjoy in that, expect to find it tedious in this. For me, it pulled me into the world and enabled me to truly explore the utterly stunning scenery.

    There's no denying the astonishing amount of work that went into this game. Regardless of opinions around the story, the environments, animations, textures, lighting and design are all the best that I've seen in our current generation. Please when considering this game, read the nuanced reviews, not the hate filled ones.    … Expand

Sometimes too repetitive and slow paced (a bit dull) and the ending was awful (but not badly written). I wish, I as a player, could have had more influence on things like killing Nora but I also realise that it was meant to be uncomfortable as it was a part of Ellie's development.

    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]
