I would argue that the fantastically visualized setting, exceptional, gritty combat, and fantastic visual and sound design make this game a truly compelling experience. I felt uneasy playing this game on many occasions, but I also think that while I was often left unhappy and shaken after a session, I really feel like I got something very worthwhile out of this game.

    100% please experience this game fully with an open mind. I truly think that this one is an absolute marvel and the blood, sweat and tears of the development team is truly apparent. Very honestly one of the most memorable and emotionally touching gaming experiences I've ever experienced in over two decades.    … Expand

    This game is amazing.
    To understand much better the plot and the emotions obviously you should play the original game. When you play the game you feel so many emotions just like a rollercoaster, it goes up and down. The graphics and music are just amazing. This game is so worth playing. There are too many lessons to learn from this game. Remember there is not right or wrong    Spoiler Free!

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

    It’s emotional and compelling. It went in a direction I didn’t want but that’s what makes it so good. Like watching a good movie it doesn’t do what you want you just have to live the story.

I also chose not to watch any reviews for it as well as I didn't want my experience soiled or tarnished in any way. And boy am I glad I decided to go with my gut. This game to me represents the single greatest achievement in gaming. As we have come to expect from Naughty dog the visuals and audio are top notch, but the story, oh my, the story. It is without a doubt the most emotional and gut wrenching rollercoaster ride any artistic medium has ever taken me on. Not only do they manage to make you hell bent on revenge that you will literally kill anyone and everyone to achieve it, they then make you able to relate and even feel sorry for the "villain," so much so that you even regret Ellie's decision to once again try and finish what she started. If you are at all on the fence about getting this game because of some of the bad reviews online, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this and play through the whole thing. You will not be disappointed. This game truly is a shining example of how video games can be so much more than just a fun time waster.… Expand

I believe the writing, while great, is the weakest element of an otherwise outstanding game. Videogames have a way of making one empathize with a protagonist like no other form of media - you might literally walk a mile in their shoe. Naughty Dog hoped to leverage this for possibly their most ambitious task. For me, they succeeded, but they also attempted to shed light on some fringe themes which felt like the writers might have bit-off a little more than they could chew.

    I'd give this game a 9.5 but the scale only allows for rounded numbers so I'll unfortunately round this down to a 9 (10 is reserved for something transcendental, hopefully).    … Expand

    a los fanaticos de otras compañias. Entiendo su frustracion, pero no la comparto.
    Excelente gameplay, historia emotiva y con muchos giros, graficos y animaciones excepcionales.

    I think some use reviews are very harsh. The storyline wasn't my preferred choice but I still connected with the characters like the first.
    The graphics are incredible and the different game experiences designed I really enjoyed.
    It's still a must play and without the pressure of being a sequel this would be an all time must play.

    Not a 10/10 only cause I didn't prefer a few story aspects.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game has so many basics flaws that Im sick of it since minute 1, from the way joel dies cuz he seem unaware that he lives literaly in the end of the world and follows a random dude to a place where has ppl with weapons close to his town like, what the actual **** joel has been surviving for more than 20 years in this **** he is not stupid or easy to trick, he knows all the trick, he has done it him self, the problem here is, he sees a bunch of ppl and doesnt think about taking his revolver and aim at the head of that **** he just follows her like, nah this is safe, is like the meme with the guy on a house on fire saying this is fine.
    also the story is BULL**** is not deep is not amazing is not revealing it doesnt teach e moral, it does nothing but ****ing hit u in the face one time after another, they straight up LIED to us with the trailers they lied and lied and lied cuz they knew what they were doing would be bought by any fan cuz is trash, we have to go with a hatefull character half of the game and in every single moment we see how is EVIL is not a bad person, is not a damaged person, is a really evil person, roten to the bone, we see it many time when almost slaughters dima and saying better to the fact that she is pregnant after one of his friends died pregnant, but stops for a kid that has already seen a lot of detth by her hands, it makes so little sense y so many time, like, the first aera u actualy play out of tutorial is an open area with a map u lok for weapons its cool, the rest of the ****ing game its a corridor, why did u even put that in the first place, elie loses everything in this game, his father his friends his girlfriend almost everyone and everything, and we see how she gets ****ed every time she has to kill someone in a cutscene but doesnt budge while fcking behading ppl that doesnt even know, this is actually ****ed, at the end of the game we see how elie after losing 2 fingers by an abbys bite, after killing like 1000 ppl in total lets her go, just like that, she acknowledges that revenge is bad, thats the plot, the major problem of this game is the ****ing director, who thinks he is the smartest person in the world and only critics can understand games, and he can even see the bull**** he made, I will say this agane in case u u didnt pick it up already
    THIS GAME BAD DO NOT BUY EVEN WITH OTHERS PERSON MONEY NOT GOOD.
    thats as clear as I can make it,
    and if u think this game deserves a better rating, idk what to tell u, they lied to so many ppl, just for the sake of money, even their employees has been ****ed working for smth they wont get, this is fcked, and we all know uncharted 5 will be trash most likely cuz more than 50% of the ppl that works on ND is leaving after this project, they really tensed the string until they broke it.    … Expand

It's a risky story, it really is. It should not work, but somehow it managed to be the best overall game I have ever played. Ellie's actions don't make sense until the very last moments of the game, when it all comes together and you find out what really was driving her. It may be easy to overlook if you're not paying attention, and I can see how it would be easy to hate if you're coming into the game off of the review bomb from the trolls early on. Ellies decisions are stupid at times, but in the world Naughty Dog has developed, she's a human. Her mistakes are human mistakes, and those imperfect actions are what breathe life into the story.

    The story by the way, was a masterpiece. I never knew what would happen next. From jumping perspective from character to character, and hopping back and forth through time, they do everything they can to tell the story the best they can. It's very unconventional, and I can understand how it would feel off-putting to some people, but it felt like a progression to the way we tell stories in video games. It always felt like I was just a person stumbling through a world that was alive. They put a lot effort into making the story come alive by the way, so much that the people in factions you face off against have names, and if you kill one in the middle of a conversation, they will yell out that persons name in a panicked way. There's even a block of the story where you get to explore an entire city and search for secrets all over. They really make the world felt lived in.

    I loved this game and if you want to see what it is all about, I recommend you give it a play. Oh and by the way, we learned Ellie was into girls in the Left Behind DLC in 2014. Get over it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers. The Last of Us 2 is a true testament to how not to make a sequel for a game. While gameplay received better animations and such, it mostly remained the exact same and becomes monotonous and predictable over the 25+ hour story. While it’s not bad, you'd hope for a much bigger upgrade or overhaul of crafting and other gameplay mechanics, but many remained completely untouched. But the gameplay isn’t what causes this game to be a failure in my opinion, because that’s not what people really play TLOU for anyways. People play for the characters and story, which is nothing short of disappointing and misguided in this game. The utter lack of respect toward previous or even new characters prevents the player from getting invested in them, and the game fails to utilize the one relationship the player was already invested in going into the game. Instead they demolish that relationship, and never really show it getting back to anything of what it used to be. Most other characters in this game are stagnant and replaceable, and while they have good performances, fail to make me care about them in a meaningful way. That is, until they get brutally murdered on a quest for revenge. By the end of the game I was so numb to violence nothing shocked me anymore, and I’m not sure what the game was even trying to say through all this violence and misery. What I do know is that I feel devastated for Ellie and deep hatred for another character. I truly hope Naughty Dog lets this franchise die in the pit they dug for it. I absolutely loved the first game, but this train wreck wants me to feel depressed for nothing. Some of the lessons it tries to teach seem so stupidly simple I asked myself if I was even hearing it right. All I can hear now is the ringing in my ears after listening to one of my favorite games get pillaged and massacred in the name of “Subverted Expectations”. Do not recommend. Collapse    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I, like many am very disappointed with the sequel to my favorite game on the PS3. The story is not great, and while I get what the developers were trying to do, it does not resonate with me. Naughty Dog spent the entire previous game building Joel and Ellie into the characters that I know and love and successfully created that connection. Abby killing Joel 2 hours into the game was a shocking moment for me, as I had managed to avoid all spoilers leading into this. This is not my problem, it upset me but I kept my mind open that this would be the spark for a new impactful story. My problem is trying to shove a character down my throat after immediately making me hate her. Naughty Dog simply did not do a good enough job of making me like Abby, and being forced to play half the game as her is frustrating and ruined the experience for me. I simply wanted to rush through her chapters to get back to playing as Ellie, and that doesn't happen until near the end of the game. For this main reason, I cannot say I enjoyed my time playing this game. The story never has any pay off, and gives no real satisfaction when the credits roll. That being said, for me this is one of the best looking games I've played on this console. Cutscenes and game play look nearly identical, and the environments are gorgeous and well fleshed out. The combat and game play is excellent, and there are key differences between playing as Ellie and Abby that make each character a unique experience despite the shared mechanics. This game could have been the best game on this console, but the story severely hampers any chance of that. For Last of Us fans, still worth a play through to experience the story. I'm glad I played it, but I know I will never pick this up to play it again.… 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.
