    At this point I will not give Naughty Dog any money. The game gets 1 for graphics, physics, and art style. I can't deny that the visuals are astounding until you look at Abby. Nobody asked for Abby, nobody wanted Abby, yet the Ma'am was shoved down our throats regardless. Unless the Online comes out with great potential I will not spend a penny.

And the nerve of naughty dog to try and make us feel bad for Abby by having us play as her for ten hours with hardly any context after doing what she did. And to top it all off, they try to crudely force propaganda in our faces while we're forced to kill dogs that we later play with in a flashback.

    This is not a happy Story and this is not written for you. But regardless of that, it's a compelling story nonetheless. It's a bold move for the team behind this to tell a story that pushes the boundaries of how games should be made and told. It's a revenge plot, sure, but it's narrative and character review and how real and raw it is depicted in that world makes all sense.

It's that narrative and how well they handled it, and they make you feel things. It's a masterpiece. And the graphics, and the sounds and all of it is so good. While I do love this game so much and how good it is, it is a depressing game and you might want to take a few days, maybe weeks before you start all over again. But yeah, this game is perfect.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was able to touch the strings of my soul. It was able to play a good melody on my feelings. I was worried about both sides and couldn't decide for myself who really right. Can revenge for a loved one soothe the soul? The soul that doesn't understand that revenge will not stop her suffering, but only give rise to a greater evil about which it is scary to think? All this can be considered very broadly and for a long time. The LGBT agenda with which many are furious... so much little, I almost didn't notice it. Honestly, analyzing the whole game, it's difficult to say that this is propaganda or an agenda. Special thanks to Gustavo for his great soundtrack. This person knows his job and helps to feel what the players should feel at the moment. As a result, I finished the game with a very heavy load on my soul. Directly fully aware of everything that happened before. It’s hard, very hard to accept all of it, but it’s necessary. I look forward to continuing the story. I hope it will be. It's impossible that the story ends like this. It's obvious. Such a mixed feeling aroused in general. I bet 10/10, because I think that the game is made perfectly in every aspect.

    Игра смогла задеть струны моей души. Смогла сыграть неплохую мелодию на моих чувствах. Я переживал за обе стороны и не смог решить для себя, кто же на самом деле прав. Может ли месть за родного человека успокоить душу? Душу, не понимающую, что месть не остановит её страдания, а только породит большее зло про которое страшно подумать? Всё это очень широко и долго можно рассматривать. ЛГБТ-повестка с которой многие бесятся... Её мало, я почти не заметил. Честно, анализируя всю игру, то трудно сказать, что это пропаганда или повестка.
    Отдельное спасибо Густаво за его великолепные саундтреки. Этот человек знает своё дело и помогает почувствовать то, что должны чувствовать игроки в данный момент.
    По итогу, закончил игру с очень тяжёлым грузом на душе. Прям полностью осознавая всё происходящее ранее. Тяжело, очень тяжело принять всё, но нужно. Жду продолжения истории. Надеюсь, оно будет. Нельзя, чтобы так закончилось всё. Это же очевидно. Такое смешанное чувство вызвало в общем. Ставлю 10/10, потому что считаю, что игра сделана отлично. С какой стороны не глянь.    … Expand

    One of the best games that ever created. The gameplay is just great and addictive. I loved the story and I think that’s better than the first one. The graphics are arguably the best that we’ve ever seen on PS4 and the sound’s amazing. Also Gustavo Santaolalla and MAC Quayle made a magnificent soundtrack that fits perfectly well in the game.

    The Last of Us was one of my favorite games of all-time. Replaying it prior to the release of its sequel, I realized just how much my love for the game is carried by my love for the characters. Characters I waited 7 years to re-engage with, only for their lives and their lore to be all but thrown away.

Gameplay is refined but since the game is a lot longer than its first outing those refinements don’t go far enough anyway. I found myself loving the exploration and actually getting annoyed when combat “got in the way”. I think the story is pretty interesting as a theme but the character kind of fail to grab my attention. I really like being conflicted and finding myself loathing the presumed protagonist but at the same time a lot of the choices that the protagonist does doesn’t really feel in character/plausible. When taking a step back and looking at this from a broader perspective, comparing it to all games and not just it’s prequel, it’s still a great game. Graphics, audio, animation and voice acting is god tier. The narrative and character development, though weaker than the first game, is also high class. As far as controversies regarding the game go I’d say: just play the game. The game does not do what it’s accused of. It does not push any agenda down your throat. It doesn’t fail in its story telling due to taking a political stance. Sure it’s not as good as the first game but it’s not due to anything related to the “controversy”. I think the game would have felt like a better experience if they skipped some acts/story beats and focused more on the driving factors of the main protagonist. It was also too long: the naughty dog gameplay loop is not fun and/or varied enough to last for 25 hours.… Expand

Seria muy facil haber hecho un juego que le agradara a todo el mundo (Fan Service) pero este juego es mas que eso, es totalmente realista, crudo y violento. La muerte de Joel en un mundo apocalíptico cómo the last of us nos a implementado debió ser asi, no es ningun heroe, no es Nathan Drake; su muerte fue dolorosa y produce mucho odio sin duda pero el tomo una decisión, y tarde o temprano le llegaria la consecuencia. Estar en los zapatos de Abby nos hace ver muchas cosas, entender la situación y apesar de que me sigue doliendo la muerte de Joel, entiendo y siento empatia por ella. Su padre, un hombre bueno y que queria volver al mundo a la normalidad fue asesinado por nuestro protagonista, es normal y entendible que se quiera venganza por eso, sin embargo mientras juegas te das cuenta que la venganza solo trae mas problemas y es un ciclo sin fin, siempre podemos perder algo mas de nosotros y la venganza te lo quita todo, asi como Abby y Ellie lo perdieron. Recomiendo encarecidamente este juego, no se dejen llevar por el hate y disfrutenlo por ustedes mismos.… Expand

    Last of us was an incredible game driven by story and incredible actors with suspenseful gameplay. Last of Us 2 capitalized on this. This game did a great job at telling a difficult and painful story. Then the game goes and takes a turn and makes you play through the story from the other perspective which was done very well. Last of Us 2 will stand as my favorite game of all time.

Flat out, I really was not interested in Dina or Jesse.Perhaps this is because they did not get much screen time, especially Jesse. Regarding the story, I greatly enjoyed it. It is compelling in its own unique way, in DIRECT contrast to the first game. To continue the story of our beloved duo after the end of the first game was a joy and a dream for I and im sure millions of other fans. But because of this same love, I can see why many people argue the sequel disrespects Joel and Ellie. I just think Naughty Dog continued the story in the most realistic and likely way, rather than the way fans were praying and wishing to see. Its a brutal story of revenge. Just because it doesn't follow your prenotion of what a story should be doesn't make it "awful story-telling" and even worse "ruins the whole game". Another thing that pisses me off is when people say there are plot holes, but then fail to mention said plot holes. Maybe i am wrong, but I don't think there are any serious or major plot holes. That's my 2 cents, hopefully I don't get ddosed or death threats but you know how it goes.… Expand

After thinking about it for a week, I decided I was going to wait till reviews to make a final decision. Well a day after release I bought the game and it took me 15 days to beat it, 30hrs and 5 mins playing time. Overall I enjoyed the game, some of Abby’s sections dragged on a bit tho. Ellie’s Seattle Day 1 and 2 were my favorite chapters, I did enjoy Abby’s day 2. I think TLOU2 is a 9/10 game.

No queria criticar este juego pero tenia que desahogarme de alguna manera y describir el problema que tengo con esto .Naugthy dog es una de mis empresas favoritas creci con sus videojuegos como Crash o Jak an Daxter o mas recientemente con la saga de Uncharted y con the last of us ese fanatismo crecio mucho mas buena historia , personajes carismaticos y uno de los mas tristes prologos en los videojuegos viendo como la vida de un personaje (joel) se destruyo en un par de minutos . Despues de eso los fans soñabamos con una segunda parte y luego con el trailer estabamos demasiado ilusionados luego el 19 de junio llego el sueño de todo fan lastimosamente a la hora imedia de juego todo se va ala mierda desde que muere joel el juego entero se jodio primero creando un odio tremendo haca abby por matar a unos de los protagonistas depues de eso creerian que seria una villana ....pues no .Literalmente ala persona que mato al personje mas querido de la saga se vuelve a jugar en casi todos el juego y igual se esparaba que joel muriera pero no de una forma tan ridicula .Parece que a naugthy dog les importa 3 pares de cojones a los fans y se dejan llevar por lo politicamente correcto ,tambien aunque no lo crean a no la reconozco paso de ser de bastante carismatica a latipica adolescente rebelde mas gichle y saturada ademas de que joel hizo una puta masacre para salvar a ellie porque simplemete no queria perder lo unico bueno que le ha pasado en esos ultimos meses para que despues ellie al persona que mato a jeese y a joel coño JOEL¡¡¡ para que despues la deje vivir y a ella dejandola sin nada sin amigos, sin dedos, sin ua figura paterna nada.Lev y Abby son unos personajes de lo menos carismaticos (Al menos en mi opinion) lo peor es que no va a ver ni un puto dlc dejandonos con una sed de venganza en la garganta inimaginable hubiera estado bien que hubieran varios finales por ejemplo uno en el joel no muera o el que mas deseabamos ...Matar a Abby para mi sindudas el el juego con la peor historia de naugthy dog eso si lo que mas resalta de juego son los graficos que excelentes de eso no hay duda la banda sonora y todo lo demas esta excelente pero unas buenas graficas no son nada con una buena historia .Ademas el hecho de que abby cobre venganza por su padre no nos transmite nada si hubiera aparecido en el primer juego algo la entenderiamos peo no aparece en este juego como si nada .Joel era el ejemplo perfecto de un personaje con el que no se toca , si el videojuegos hubiera salido un poco antes (Cuando lo politicamente correcto no afectaba tanto en la comercalizacion ) seguramente el juego seria excelent .En fin lo criticaria mas pero no me dan ganas mis concluciones son :¿Mejor que el primero? : Para nada Mejores graficos: En lo absoluto ¿Game of the year 2020?: Para nada ¿Vale la pena?: en mi sincera opinion el juego tiene que entrenerte para ser divertido y the last of us 2 si lo es pero si quieres una buena historia, desarrollo de personajes y un ben final este juego no te lo recomiendo para nada… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is phenomenal. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever played and it took huge risks that many devs would never take.

    The bad first:

    My only negatives are that the gameplay can get a little repetitive after awhile and that yes, some of the ways things play out are a little unrealistic, but I understand why realism is sacrificed in order to make the experience fun for the player.

    The good:

    The story is amazing if you can allow yourself to exhibit a little empathy. This game is set in a tough, cruel, brutal setting. It’s not a world of heroes and villains, it’s a world of survivors who have the opportunity take the law into their own hands.

    Graphics and score are breathtaking.

    Relatable characters that you get attached to. It’s clear at this point that people are divided on this, but personally my favorite performance was Laura Bailey as Abby. Abby is unlike any female pro/an(?)tagonist I’ve seen in 30 years of gaming and I really appreciated seeing someone portrayed that doesn’t fit this cookie cutter mold you see from many female characters. I fear the backlash from the mentally unstable, privileged, disgusting losers who are sending death threats (DEATH THREATS!?!?) to writers and voice actors over a freaking video game will deter devs from taking these type of risks in a future. My suggestion is that if you are one of these people that are easily triggered anytime anyone other than white males get a little shine, if you feel attacked every single time something is praised that’s not white male dominated, if you are one of these people that can’t wait to tear down successful media that doesn’t necessarily represent you, please stay away from this game. Go play Super Mario and the hundreds of other games that have been created throughout history with only you in mind and live your little power fantasy. Your hatred is only making this game more talked about, more relevant and more successful.

    My suggestion that if you are actively sending death threats to anyone, but in this case particularly people who are simply writing and performing a piece of entertainment that literally means nothing in the most literal sense that nothing can mean in the grand scheme of things, is to please, please seek help. You are an embarrassment to the human race.

    Congrats Naughty Dog! I hope to see at least one more game set in this universe as I ended the game only wanting more, but if this was the last ride, it was still more than we deserved.    … Expand

    Story was messy. Flashback within flashbacks. 11 hr cliffhangers that made getting through almost half the game a chore to play through. Inconsistent motivation & motives of characters. Besides like one boss, the infected felt like a random nuisance instead of the threat they were in the first game.

    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]
