    This game is not a Disney or Pixar movie. Many people need that formula. TLOU2 doesn't follow the formula that 90% of games follow. We've played that game before, we've watched that movie before... Thousands of times with different character names but the same format.

TLOU2 doesn't follow the formula that 90% of games follow. We've played that game before, we've watched that movie before... Thousands of times with different character names but the same format. It breaks another common trend as it doesn't try to teach you morals so if you need your games and movies to validate your already existing beliefs, you'll be disappointed. You might even be mad about it because it will disturb you. But that's the beauty of it too. Most games mediocre copycat, copy stamped formulas of the same thing over and over again. Why? Because of people that review low like this. People need games to be a certain way that molds around their values and expectations instead of allowing themselves to delve into the mind of the artist. And because of that, we end up with shelves of generic, safe games. TLOU2 is nothing like that.

    They skip boundaries that most games wouldn't dare touch - and the result is leaving the player feeling a sense of loss. This loss is a melting pot of contradictions and ideas. It forces our eyes open to how conflicted the world is and how none of us can see the bigger picture. Just like our real world today. Everyone has ideas and are more concerned with being right than understanding the reality of how things actually are on all sides - so no progress can be made.

    In a way, I'm kind of glad it's divisive because then I won't see hundreds of new games that copy/paste the formula until it becomes beat like a dead horse TLOU2 is delicate, brutal and way ahead of its time. That time may never come though - because people want that copy paste formula that they know and love. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch any Marvel, Disney, Pixar movie and you'll find a predictable path that leads to making lots of money but the film is a rehash of the same thing. TLOU2 has amazing gameplay elements but where I feel it shines greatest is the character study driven storyline. It's a work of art if you can get beyond what you wanted to happen. Plotwise, it's a deep character study that pulls you in a whirlwind in a way that no other game has. Characters are overwhelmed in a post apocalyptic environment. I don't want to give spoilers. I played it all the way through and it isn't until the end of the game that everything comes together so well. You definitely need to get through it all to understand what Naughty Dog did.

    Are people reasonably upset? Sure. Like I said, it's not for everyone. There's games like Animal Crossing and Zelda that are much easier to take in than this one. Naughty Dog did a fantastic job of making your a participant in this apocalyptic world by making choices that make you feel confused and shocked - I find it gripping. But for those that have a darker side, or a need to try something fresh and innovative - you'll find this to be one of the best games recently made.    … Expand

Towards the end, I didn't like her anymore, but I started to like Abby. Interesting approach to tell that there's no typical good guy/bad guy in such a scenario. This game is a showcase of how important sound is. It ads the same amount to the imersion as the graphics. Could it had a bit more variety? Sure, but it delivers what was expected.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La muerte de joel tiene algunos huecos argumentales, hay que ser realistas si es algo que podria pasar, pero es muy improbable que joel tomara esas deciciones al punto de llegar hasta ahi.
    la parte intermedia del juego puedo decir que es decente no llega a ser muy mala pero tampoco es buena, el intento que hacen de que el jugador empatize cona abby que a veces puede fucionar o aveces no y demas cosas como las historias de cada uno de los personajes secundario, etc
    pero el final es muy insatisfactorio, Ellie no consigue su venganza, pierde sus dedos y casi todo su viaje fue para nada porque encima dina la abandona, y durante gran parte del juego intentan manejar al jugador con la nostalgia (no es tan malo como la gente dice pero si es un mal juego teniendo en cuenta que lo principal es la historia)    … Expand

    Amazing attention to detail, challenging gameplay and emotive story line that shows the bleak reality of life post infection. I don’t agree with all the decisions the main protagonists make the but they are a product of their world and experiences, and the game is an amazing story telling saga.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es increíble el tiempo que estuve esperando este juego, sin pensarlo, me había encariñado con cada uno de sus personajes en la primera entrega. Una vez llegado el día, en la primera hora de juego muere Joel y con ello mi esperanza de que sea un juego cómo la primera en el cual podemos observar un equipo y relación de padre e hija. Sin embargo cumplió el objetivo de motivarme a buscar venganza y se podría decir que no me importó el tiempo de recorrido y lo largo que fue el viaje. Yo quería vengar y asesinar a cada uno del equipo de Abby.
    Abby sin duda fue de mi total desprecio al comienzo del juego, e incluso podría decir que me quería negar a jugar con ella. Sin embargo, considero que ella es el péndulo entre odiar y amar el juego; pues la finalidad de jugar con ella es que veas “la otra cara de la moneda” y sí, en mi caso funcionó de maravilla. Sin duda no puedes juzgar a una persona por sus acciones o su carácter sin haber conocido su historia, de donde proviene, etc. A la vez es de vital importancia recordar que la historia se contextualiza en un mundo post apocalíptico, aquí no hay buenos ni malos, es una historia con personajes egoístas que buscan su supervivencia de día a día.
    Finalmente puedo decir que la historia me conmovió, me hizo dudar en el final si realmente quería ver morir a Abby y sinceramente estoy satisfecho tanto con los gráficos, la jugabilidad, la banda sonora y LA HISTORIA.    … Expand

    Il gioco più bello della generazione assieme a Red Dead Redemption 2. Tecnicamente impressionate, con un gameplay che perfeziona quello del primo e una trama che ha il coraggio di non imboccare il giocatore con tutto quello che si aspetta ma che cambia le carte in tavole, riuscendo a veicolare meravigliosamente il suo messaggio.

The game is held up by it's presentation and riding off the first games popularity.

    They try to be 'deep' with this game, but didn't commit to the writing I doubt they ever questioned themselves. A good theory is the director and the writers were just ego struck, this type of thing happens a lot. Any competent or even amateur writer would have fixed these issues, I'm sure there were some inside issues within the company/development for basic writing techniques/rules not to be in the end product.    … Expand

    Gameplay - OK. Grittier and bit more challenging than the 1st one.
    Sound - Great!
    Graphic - Damn great!

    But the Story is totally awful, super bad. The revenge plot is ok, but how the game presents it to you is not great at all. It is boring, and in the end, it's totally freaking useless. What's the point of having the player went through all that if the ending is just meh?

    The legacy of Joel and Ellie from the first game is completely ruined by this game.    … Expand

    An amazing game with a unique and interesting story. It is clear the developers had a story they wanted to tell, and they pulled no punches. It's sophisticated, tackles modern issues and takes turns that no one expected. The gameplay is fairly similar to the original, but wider and more open.

It’s pretty funny how the second it came out a lot of people started giving it 0/10 either way because of some characters decisions or fate. IMO, the game’s a masterpiece. Yes it doesn’t have the ending I would’ve wanted BUT it’s a realistic ending. The game puts you in the shoes of Ellie, of course we are gonna love and justify all of her actions because she’s someone we love and know, and then Abby, at first you dislike her so much but at the end you understand why she did all the things she did and you realize there’s no good or bad character. Why? Because if an outbreak like that happened, people would die, a lot of us would do anything to survive, some people would join groups, others would join cults, everyone has a reason to fight for, and if some stranger showed up outta nowhere and killed your friend/family member, or just someone you really cared about, you’d want revenge as Ellie did. I know I would. But you have to understand, your actions will have consequences and that is what this game is about. They all make different decisions and according to those decisions it’s how all characters end. Side note, people is hating on the game because of the trailer. Because Ellie and Dina are basically a couple. Bro it’s 2020, it’s fine if you don’t like that but at least respect it and don’t talk sh*t bout a great game because it has LGBTQ+ references. Basically that’s my review, if you’re reading this, thank you. If you wanna get the game but ain’t sure about it yet.. have you played the first one? If you haven’t then I highly suggest you get the first game first, play it as long as you want and then get the second game. Pay attention to everything, each character’s story, their decisions, do your best to find notes, artifacts etc, and oh, also play the Left Behind DLC so you can understand more about Ellie. I’m on my second playthrough of TLOU2 on moderate+ because I really wanna get the platinum trophy. Once I do, I’m gonna do a 3rd playthrough on survivor+ mode. (Hardest difficulty) and just focus on the story, no artifacts and stuff. I’ll just focus on surviving and let’s see how it goes. I can’t go without mentioning that Gustavo is a master with that guitar. Soundtrack is a maesterpiece. We don’t have an iconic theme song like on the first one, every song on the second one is basically based on the themes song. But every single song makes you feel the game even more, that’s why on my last playthrough I’ll play with headphones. I’m very excited to do so. To me, the game, is a 10/10. Not the ending I wanted BUT the one everyone “deserved” according to their actions. Also keep in mind game is about forgiving and what could happen if you don’t forgive people around you and take bad actions. Shoutout to all the people involved in the making of this game. Tlou and TLOU2 will forever be, my favorite games. Also if Cascina reads this (obviously won’t but shhh) you’re gorgeous as f*ck. If someday you decide to get married outta nowhere or you just wanna travel and make memories with some random guy, I’m the one you’re looking for. LOL. I’m out. Endure and Survive.

    The bad thing about a game like The last of us part II is that we will not know when we will play something like that again. A masterpiece and in a few years a cult game that everyone should try. The importance of not blaming anyone and if you change the perspective to assess the facts that led you to do such actions. A magnificent round 10.

Stealth encounters are in large and varied sandbox environments stuffed with dangerous enemies. Killing animations are graphic and brutal. Knives, guns, bows, bare hands, and crafted explosives will destroy anything in your path. Some light environmental puzzles and a whole bunch of resource scavenging round out the simple but effective post apocalypse gameplay. These parts of the game are a big improvement over Part I. Unfortunately the story in Part II is much worse. The writers try very hard to make the audience sympathize with the new main character Abby but it just doesn't work. The story takes a lot of wrong turns, spends too much time on side quests, and really drags during the second half. Ellie sits out the two best boss battles in the game. Joel is not even a playable character. On top of all this the ending is very disappointing and makes the whole journey seem like a waste of time.… 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.
