    The Last Of Us Part II is a storytelling masterpiece since it explores its characters and develops its plot better than any game before it. It does this by taking the time necessary to fully explore each and every single character in it so we can deeply relate and sympathise with them.

It does this by taking the time necessary to fully explore each and every single character in it so we can deeply relate and sympathise with them. It also creates a story that plays with your emotions constantly in both positive and negative ways, making you feel more involved in it. To top it all off, the gameplay gives you more liberty on what you can do and how you approach things, letting you create your own playstyle and making each situation feel unique. The only things I didn't like about this game were some minor gameplay issues and the way they poorly handled the marketing by misleading and even lying to the public. Overall, I think this is one of the best if not the best game of the generation and definitely the best way to say farewell to the PS4 console. I give this game a rating of 9.8/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For pp that hate the game because of your favorite character's death, I get you. But it seems like you guys felt the same as Ellie and put your hatred towards your enemy, which in your case is the game itself. I think that's quite the reason for not being able to enjoy and fully understand all characters' motives. Play the game again with your calm mind, you'll find a lot of things that you missed in the first walkthrough.… Expand

    The game can really hurt your psyche. This is a very deep piece that is based on facial emotions that are not discussed. You must feel them.

    It is a great story of revenge and consequences, a great proposal within the video game industry, the story and the way it is told is still a rarity for this sector of the entertainment industry.
    The message of the game?
    We all deserve to suffer for our actions and obsessions

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *SPOILERS AHEAD*

    This game is a cinematic, thematic masterpiece. Following on four years from the initial Last of Us story, we get to see the fallout of Joel's decision to murder an entire hospital full of fireflies to save a girl who reminded him of his daughter. We are introduced to Abby, a strong woman suffering from nightmares due to the death of her father, the only doctor in the world who could (apparently) create a cure for the infected. Only a girl when he died, Abby was fueled with the desire for revenge. This story, in its entirety, is incredible. We are shown a cutscene of Joel singing to Ellie, "If I ever lose you, I surely would loss myself..." as they return to Jackson after the events of the previous game. In the present, it seems that Joel and Ellis are estranged but we don't get a reason why. We are introduced to Abby in the forest and then for half the game we know her as the person who tortured and murdered Joel. We don't know anything about who she is or how she came to be this cold, malicious person we see before us.

    Throughout the first half of the game we watch Ellie, Dina & then Jessie travel through Seattle to find Tommy, and Abby. We watch Ellie process her grief and learn why she and Joel were on bad terms: she had gone back to find out the truth of what happened in the hospital, and hated him for it. I cried real tears as she sung Joel's song in the theatre. We also go through Seattle as Ellie, picking off the Wolves one by one until we reach the aquarium, where she does something equally as unforgivable as Abby by killing a pregnant woman (unknown to Ellie at the time). Tommy finished that scene with "they deserved it." In the second half of the game, you play as Abby, learning about the Wolves and their setup, meeting Manny, playing with the dogs that you kill as Ellie (only part of the game I hated, genuinely made me feel sick to kill a dog). We meet Abby's other friends and learn about their normal lives as a doctor and a soldier just doing their jobs. We see that Mel is a kind, compassionate woman, Manny is a funny playboy who loves the ladies and Owen is still in love with Abby after they broke up when they were younger. We learn that Abby is afraid of heights, has a kind heart and cares for Lev, the little boy she saves. We see both sides of the story, two sides of humanity, and all the grey that comes with true humanity. I cried at the end when we are shown the cutscene of the night before Joel died and the fight that is fuelling Ellie's regret.

    This story plays like a novel. You don't need to like everything that happens, just like in a book. The characters are real and fleshed out and raw with genuine reactions and emotions. They are not "good" or "evil". Both Abby and Ellie showed their humanity and their dark sides in this game. Alongside this, the graphics were exquisite. The guitar playing was so real, and the facial expressions had me feeling their fear, sadness, love and hope.

    I found this world to be breathtaking, the plot full of wonderful examples of what it means to be human. I truly felt this story in my heart, which is what a good game should be able to achieve. If you don't have emotional range and don't want to be introduced to a wider story of this post-apocalyptic world, then this isn't the game for you.

    10/10. Up there with Horizon Zero Dawn for story. Well done Naughty Dog on another great game.    … Expand

    Although there are a lot of trouble in this game, I still see it as a good game after I pass through, the scene and the action inside is so beautiful, so many details, we cannot deny naughty dog's hard work, even they had been changed a lot by Nile.

    Great story and surprisingly long. I enjoyed every moment of it. Everything is hyper-realistic from the cut scenes all the way to the fight sections. Often it feels like it's a live action movie. Any flaws are so minimal that this game is the perfect example of a 5 out of 5 game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En el apartado técnico es asombroso, ambientación, escenografía, sonido, actuaciones... IMPECABLE. La jugabilidad y animaciones son brillantes no tengo nada que replicar. Lo que he entendido de la historia (SPOILERS): Ellie se identifica con una polilla (se muestra en su diario y en su tatuaje) porque "busca la luz" y Abby es una "Luciernaga". Sin palabras para describir la enorme cantidad de simbolismo.

    Matan a Joel tan pronto con la intención de entender los sentimientos de Ellie y sentir su odio a lo largo de toda la historia cosa que me parece muy original a la hora de empatizar con ella y entender hasta que punto deshumanizamos al enemigo a causa del odio. Ellie únicamente no puede dibujarle los ojos a Joel y a Abby en su diario. Abby tiene las mismas mecánicas de jugabilidad que Joel además de que su relación con Lev es muy similar a la de Ellie y Joel.

    Abby se siente mal por lo de Joel (debido a que tiene pesadillas con su padre justo cuando empezamos a jugar con ella cuando salva a Yara y Lev soñó con su padre sonriéndole y después dejó de tenerlas, Ellie sin embargo seguía teniendolas y iban a peor) por eso salva a Lev y Yara que son sus enemigos al igual que lo era Joel (ya que esto no lo pudo hacer con él) significando que quiere avanzar, pasar página y mejorar como persona por sí misma. Cuando decide no matar a Dina y Ellie lo hace por Lev mostrándonos que cuando quieres avanzar los demás son un apoyo para hacerlo además de que si las mata perdería a Lev el único amigo que le quedaba dándose cuenta con tiempo de la gravedad del ciclo de la venganza.

    A Joel le pasa lo mismo con Ellie, él cambia gracias a ella ya que tu familia y amigos son los que te hacen ser feliz y por tanto sacar lo mejor de ti por eso se le ve tan distinto con Ellie de como lo era en el pasado, por eso ayuda a Abby. Porque ahora es feliz. Esto nos muestra que no hay ni buenos ni villanos solo malas situaciones y por tanto son PERSONAS. Ellie decide por segunda vez ir a matar a Abby ignorando las súplicas de Dina de no hacerlo. Abby a diferencia de Ellie cuando Lev le dijo que dejase a Dina y Ellie ella lo hizo. Por tanto Ellie se dio cuenta demasiado tarde de que la venganza no lleva a ningún sitio quedándose sola, sin embargo Abby no.

    Ellie le perdona la vida a Abby porque en el fondo ve a Joel en ella (por eso no les puede dibujar los ojos de hecho en el diario ella dice que su mirada es muy importante para ella) simbolizando que lo perdona a él. Por eso lo recuerda justo antes de acabar con ella además de que también se está perdonando a sí misma por no haberle perdonado por lo del hospital y por tener una pelea la última vez que habló con él (cosa que se ve en su diario y en los flashbacks del final). Al final Ellie entiende lo que hizo Joel al final del primer juego ya que ella se perdió a sí misma tras perderlo a él tal y como dice en la canción que no para de cantar con la guitarra para recordarlo. Otro detalle es el hecho de que Abby carga a Lev de la misma forma que Joel a Ellie y solo se dispone a luchar cuando Ellie trata de matarlo al igual que los Luciérnagas hicieron con Ellie. También es importante tener en cuenta que para Ellie los Luciernagas eran sus idolos: Marlene la cuidó de pequeña y era la lider, su mejor amiga y primer amor era Luciernaga y en el juego te muestra que ella los defendia siempre ante su profe en clase por lo que tiene que ser duro ir en contra de lo que antes adorabas ademas de que ella se tira todo el juego ignorando la idea de que Joel no era tan bueno a pesar de que claramente nos muestran que ella sabía que no era un santo. Es curioso que ambos juegos se trate de ir a buscar a los Luciérnagas de "buscar la luz", en el primero para Joel y en el segundo para Abby y Ellie.    … Expand

    Undoubtedly it is a masterpiece of the PS4 generation. It will hit you emotionally and psychologically in such a way a video game has never done before. Excellent story telling, gameplay and graphics which will blow your mind. An extremely brave execution by Neil Druckmann which hits all the nails it should have..

    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]
