    This is a powerful, emotional, breathtaking game that delivers on all the promise of the first one (which was terrific too but I don't think affected me in quite the same way) It's not a game I'd play for a light bit of shooty fun, but that's quite obviously the point.

There were definite points in the game where going through it felt draining and hard emotionally but it's incredible that a game can now achieve that level of empathy and immersion. There were points where I definitely questioned decisions in how the game is structured and how I felt about certain characters, but I was always left convinced. This game treats the player as an adult who can handle characters that are flawed, not instantly likeable or just irritating. Regardless of how I felt initially about characters initially, my thoughts and feelings were constantly changing and being questioned and I felt something for all of them. This game is an experience like no other I've played and while I think it'll be a while before I (if ever) play through it again, I'll never forget this playthrough and it will stay with me forever.

    Ignore the petty backlash from strange men arriving to this game with preconceptions and prejudices, and who have in most cases haven't played it. If you have an open mind and are looking for something to make you question and think about human fallibility, emotional conflict and so on, then definitely pick this up.    … Expand

    Great game. Graphic, sound and animations are incredible. The plot is nothing new or original but is masterfully narrated. Maybe 10/10 is too high, probably 9.5 could be better because like any other game isnt perfect.

El aspecto de abby es totalmente normal , muchos se quejan de su aspecto o que si es trans ,POR DIOS!! rn que burbuja de basura viven ? es normal y hay muchas mujeres con ese aspecto por ejemplo : sophie.arvebrink y hay cientos de miles como ella .
    Graficamente el juego es bello y creo que exprime totalmete la potencia en graficos al maximo de esta generación junto con Red read redemption 2 .La historia de este juego no es complicada de entender y no es tampoco algo para cultos pero esta bien lograda como lo sabe hacer Noughty Dog y Neil que no tiene competencia y se arriesgaron ya que ellos sabían que iba ver controversia y es algo que no se ve en ninguna otra plataforma así que no vengan con que ZELDA o Animal crossing BOBOS ! es como si compararan One Pice con Loney toons .

    I wish could love this game but I can't. The whole second half was a deception, and even if you don't like it you have to do it, there is no other choice or maybe you can stop playing the game before the second half and imagine the rest of the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first time I have felt the need to express my opinion online about a game that fell short of my expectations; like The Last of Us Part 2. With all my decades worth of gaming when I sat down to play The Last of Us in 2014, I had never been so emotionally connected to a story in a game and its characters. It left a lasting impression in the way it perfectly pulled me in to experience every hope,fear and gut wrenching sadness that Joel and Ellie did. It is the only game in my collection that I played more than once....4 times in fact, and each time I played was just as enthralling as the previous. It didn't achieve this with only it spectacular visuals, fun game play, haunting music, perfect voice acting....all of that would have been hollow without the superbly crafted story that brought everything else together. I needed to provide some context before I shared my thoughts about The Last of Us 2. I went into this game completely spoiler free. Trusting in the developers to open my heart once again to another chapter in a story that I didn't want to end. When credits rolled on this game was left wrecked emotionally... feeling akin to a pet I loved for 7 years was just put down. The first game left the player with something special and this game takes that away and snuffs it out. Again without knowing anything about 2 aside from the release trailers; I went into this expecting Joel to die in some way(it just made sense for the progression of the story); so I am not upset that he was killed. But the hows and the whys of his death felt so rushed and awkward. I doubt that I have anything to say that hasn't already been said about having to play the villain of the game when the story doesn't provide to any way empathize with her and see through the cloud of anger you are made to feel for the character. They light the fuse for the bomb in the most concocted and unbelievable manner, setting you on a path to revenge and then expect the player to have an epiphany in the last 10 seconds (translate to hours of game play) before the bomb goes off (getting said revenge) and stop to reflect on why the fuse was lit. Then to top it off when time catches back up the player is forced to beat down the last remaining shell of a character in the game they care anything for. I've spent a number of hours post Last of Us 2 trying to reconcile my thoughts and listen to both sides of opinions on the game and I have found things I can agree with on both sides. But at the end of the day... I have un-installed this game, will never look at it again, wish that I had never played it, and could never recommend to anyone that loved the first one to ever set eyes on it and especially not spend hard earned money on it. If a sequel is made I will not be buying it, unless their is an indication that the story is a re do; and this one never happened. But even then I don't feel that I can trust Naughty Dog the same way anymore. The promotional material for this game was extremely deceptive after now seeing the finished product. I truly believe that the vision of this game was drastically changed mid production and there is a Last of Us 2 in the ether that could have been, but was drowned (the way that the Villain should have been) before it could be fully realized.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having only played part 1 of this franchise about 3 years ago, i did not have to wait as long as a lot of other fans. Those 3 years were filled with pure excitement, anticipation and, of course, impatience. I absolutely loved part 1. It nestled its way close to my heart, and part 2 is no different. I put almost 32 hours into this game and I loved every single second of it. The story was nothing I could have ever expected. When they revealed that the doctor Joel had killed, was Abby's father I audibly gasped. I have smiled and shed tears throughout the whole game. Happiness and sadness were both prominent. Not to mention relief. I absolutely hated Ellie for leaving the farm, for leaving the seemingly perfect life she had with Dina and JJ, but I knew she had to go after Abby again. I felt it coming but still hated it. The Ellie boss fight was one of the hardest battles I had ever had to fight, or so I thought. The final fight against Abby certainly takes that spot. I cannot describe how desperate I was for Ellie to stop fighting. Every punch she landed made me sick to my stomach. I didn't want her to kill Abby so I just kept making her dodge Abby's punches, hoping the game would somehow sense that she, that I, didn't want any of this happening. Relief coursed through my body when Ellie stopped, realising that killing Abby would amount to an even greater loss. In the end, letting Abby live was what Ellie needed the most, which we can conclude when looking at Ellie's journal when she visits the farm again. This was one hell of a game and I applaud anyone involved in the making of it. No game, or any other type of media, is ever perfect but this game comes incredibly close. Here's to more games like this, and maybe a part 3 someday, please?… Expand

    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.
