    Visually impressive, The Last of Us: Part II is a unique, dark, violent and brutal experience that makes us question what separates man from the animal. A masterpiece that Naughty Dog delivers to us at the end of the generation and that we, the players, can only be grateful for.

    A game which tries to teach you morality by not giving you choice but by forcing you to do immoral things.
    Gorgeous but empty, fights are generic at this point in gaming history

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute masterpiece of a game! Played it for 4 days straight, just couldn't put the pad down at all. I found both Ellie and Abby to be wonderfully well written characters, two sides of the same coin..I absolutely dispised Abby to begin with but by the ending i needed her to survive. The supporting characters Dina and Lev were wonderful, fully fitting in with their companions with ease. And making you root for them to be the positive influence that both Ellie and Abby needed.
    The accessibility settings blew me away, I'm fortunate that I can play without them but the fact that they are so intensive means this game is truly accessible to nearly ALL gamers. Cant wait to jump back in and start it all over again... once I've recovered from the emotional rollercoaster that this game delivers.    … Expand

    So dissatisfied, it's not at all as advertised
    It's actually made me feel sad and frustrated, I feel like this was self indulgence and a **** thing to do. It's like the star wars prequel I'm poor and I wish I never bought it. Just play the first one it's flawless.

    I'm shocked how a studio can make such a great first game and then create such abomination as second part. The ONLY good quality of this "thing" are the graphics .

    The story is bad, like... SUPERBAD ! I have no idea who thought "this is a good story" when they wrote it , but they should never , ever , write a story again ! The ending was disgusting , it made no sense whatsoever. Most    I'm shocked how a studio can make such a great first game and then create such abomination as second part.

    Three hours into the game and I wonder, " Why do I keep on playing this game ?" The reality - nostalgia . So, to summ it all up :

    A) Bad story

    B) Unlikeable main character - Not because she is a female or gay , but because she was written poorly . Her choices make no sense and she feels " blank " .

    C ) Killing the only good written character , just so you can shuv another one in our faces. ( which was not even a good one... )

    I wanted this game to be good , I really did , but the reality is simple : 1/10 .
    1 Point for the graphic department since they were the only ones who actually did some work .    … Expand

Este juego es increible, buenos graficos, banda sonora, historia muy buena tambien, nose si tan buena como tlou 1, pero sin lugar a duda es una obra maestra también. No entiendo a esa gente que se la pasa criticando al juego por la muerte de joel, ya que es un mundo apocaliptico y tuvimos suerte q dure hasta la 2da entrega, naugthy dog quiere demostrar lo duro que seria un mundo apocaliptico como el que trata el juego y lo cruel q seria vivir en un mundo asi, intenta interpretar la realidad, ya desde tlou 1 pasaba esto solo que ahora le toca a joel. una verguenza q le pongan un 0 únicamente por que no les gustaron algunas cosas de la historia; el juego no es solo historia (aunque se q tlou sobresale por este punto) sino también muisca, gráficos y los escenarios están muy bien logrados, mas lastima me da que esos q le ponen un 0 luego van y puntúan con un 7,8,9,10 juegos q no le llegan ni a los talones a este... pero bueno supongo q eso es lo que tiene cuando sacas un juego q es una obra maestra, después te exigen el doble.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As much as I wanted to impulsively rate this very low, I will attempt to give an open minded review.

    PROS:
    Game looks phenomenal
    Game play is smooth
    Audio and music is on point
    Moments of real feeling and relating to the character

    CONS:
    Story line...... wtf & why
    Character model (abby) not consistent and unrealistic
    Too much push on LGBTQ
    Poor choice of over all message during sensitive pandemic

    So let me explain my 6 rating.. It would have been much much higher... There were just certain aspects that made me almost quit... Aside from the obvious, in your face LGBTQ, which became almost comical, it was Abbys character model that was so ridiculous and unsightly. It was never consistent. He beefy muscles fluctuated in size from scene to scene. Maybe not so damning if you werent forces to play her so long.....

    Then there was the story... Dear lord.. the story.. The first ends on a note of love and going to extremes for those you love.... But this one.... hate, revenge, loss, grief.. It tore down Ellie and Joels character to the point I didnt even like Ellie at the end...

    For me.... This was just a heinous act at such a sensitive time. We are all suffering a pandemic. We have been locked inside. Little to look forward to in 2020. For some... waiting YEARS for this game, saw a glimmer of hope in the release of this game..... I would not be surprised if this game threw some into a deeper depression. Reckless and there was no need to degrade our beloved characters to the point they did....    … Expand

    Awsome game. Naughty dog, if you read this. Keep going. You are awsome. We need developers hwo dares something. This is like the Raiden Story. The poeple hated Raiden for not being Solid Snake. And today they love him. The poeple hwo rated a 0 to this game has lost the control over they lifes Xd. Sad very sas what's going on in this world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tbh, I was kinda disappointed of Joel dying in the first 2 hours. Joel was a smart and experience survivalist in the first game. I was furious about it. However after finishing the game, I accepted it. Accept that anything can happen to even someone that's strong. Some billionaires even fall and lives on the streets now. So why can't a video game character like Joel make mistakes?? Even if people are furious about the fact that he died too early. The character development for everyone else were amazing. The ending was another level of amaziness. Even though the game has some minor set backs., But it's still hands down one of the best games in gaming history. Naughty dog has done it again. An emotional impactful game like no other company is capable of.… Expand

    Just AMAZING. The game is great at every point possible. Graphics, gameplay, story. It's not a game for everyone, you must play it open-minded and know that's a game about people and humans behavior. I like it very much, one of the best games of my life so far.

    Игра огорчила. Сюжет разочаровал. Сценаристы взяли персонажа Джоэля и поместили его в нетипичную для него среду и бездарно прописали его поведение. Игра за антагониста расстроила, по геймплею ничего толком не изменилось. Мы должны были играть за Элли и брата Джоэля Томми. Концовка бессмысленная и вызывает недоумение и пустоту.

    Game of the generation. Excellent storytelling, graphics, and atmosphere. A revenge story with a meaningful message for our current world. You need to have an open mind, because it isn't a story you wanted after the first game, but it's a story the writers wanted to tell, and they were damn right.

    realistic game with diverse characters (just like real life, even if this statement makes people around here cry :'c) which depicts the worst traits of human beings and how they can consume you, until you basically become an animal or are strong enough to put an end to it.

    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]
