    Too many things that are just wrong. Forcing to play as the antagonist that is not likeable for so long is really frustrating, no matter how much naughty dog tries to force abby on the player.... no. Forcing the player to fight ellie as abby made me want to give this game a 0.

    One of the best games I've ever played. Do not listen to prejudiced people who rated the game zero as soon as the game released. I never give ranks, but I felt I owe it to this game for the emotions it put me through for 35 hours.

    Give it a chance. Story wise it is just not the same game as part one, great one nonetheless

    The Last Of Us Part II Review
    By Marcos Aquino

    If the death of Joel drives you off playing the game, you are not seeing the whole picture.

    For the sake of this review I will focus on the Story part, as is the part of the game more polarized, the rest (graphics, sound, game play) is also so **** awesome.

    Here are my 2 cents on this…

    For me Neil Druckmann is for videogames what Vince Gilligan is for tv series (or movies I loved El Camino), masters of narrative, and that may not be fair, as The Last Of Us Part II may become a precedent on how to deliver a story in any medium.

    The world portrayed in both parts of The Last of Us, is a violent one, instead of building a world together to face the Cordycep infection, a devastated mankind turned against each other, a regime based on fear by the Military, scarcity of food, fear, paved the path for the emergence of many factions, including the Fireflies, that opposed the “de facto” government of the Military (at this point the remnants of the USA government).

    Joel learned to thrive in this environment, he became a thug, smuggling, killing, that was his trade, and Tommy’s to before he left for Jackson. This antihero, who lost his daughter (Sara) to the military, enters in the journey of delivering Ellie across the country, we all know and love this journey, but the end is particularly important in order to grasp the extent of the story and why the death of Joel was not uncalled for, but rather intrinsic to the story that is being told to us.

    At the end of part 1, Joel takes the selfish decision of killing everyone in the Saint Mary Hospital to save Ellie, to whom he loves as a daughter (or at least at a later moment, but at that point he is very attached to her). The state of the person that Joel was at that point, driven with fact that he was still coping with the death of Sara (20 years or so later) gave little room of choice to Joel, in Part 2 he confesses Ellie that he would do it again. Was this a good choice?? Did those doctors deserved to die?.

    In this never ending circle of violence that the world of The Last of US portrays, each violent action has a consequence, we only saw one side of the coin in Part 1, and what the writers did here was showing that violence, however justified it may be, will only lead to more violence, more suffering, that is what justifies Ellie’s decision in the beach at the very end of Part II, this it what she realises at the very moment she sees flash of Joel playing guitar in the porch appeared in here mind (also a very important moment to understand the scope of what Joel did at the end of Part 1).

    The course of Abby’s life was forever altered at the moment Joel killed her father (the doctor at the end of part 1 named Jerry Anderson) her mission in life became at that moment, a quest for vengeance, her father, Dr. Anderson is portrayed in the few instances we get to see him, as a caring person, who was always trying to help everyone (including a zebra). Can her quest of vengeance really be unjustified?

    After that, she shaped her life (and body) for the sole purpose of avenging her fathers death. She couldn’t let go, she couldn’t forget, a new loop in the circle of violence that Joel started and ended with his death (Joel knew that time could come, he tells here “say whatever speech you have rehearsed” showing also no remorse). Killing Joel in the presence of Ellie and leaving her alive, created yet another quest for vengeance, couldn’t we agree that the same justification for Ellie to kill Abby, Abby had for killing Joel?

    And for me, this is why The Last of Us works so well, it shows that those terrible actions, for more justifiable that they seem, will only create a ripple effect, that sooner rather than later will catch on with you. Abby’s side of the story is crucial for understanding this, and why the whole plot of The Last of Us did not revolved around Joel being a beloved character or hero to some (he was absolutely not that) but extend of all the actions surrounding Ellie’s journey and their effect.

    At the end, Ellie chose to break that circle. Imagine if she had drowned Abby, she would have had to kill Lev, who basically saved her and Dina, asking Abby to stand back in the Theater back in Seattle. Otherwise a new loop in the circle of violence would have been created, now Lev seeking vengeance for the death of Abby and so forth.

    People should play this game with fresh eyes, there is a great story, delivered with an outstanding narrative and a positive message. One of my favorite games of all time!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With solid graphics and mechanics, this should have been the master piece that we all were hoping for. Instead it turned out to be a pandering piece of media that I can't in good conscience rate higher. Deaths are inevitable but the meaninglessness of killing of the main protagonist of the first game really drives the point home that the writers do not care about the fan base. Thanks for the lesson really.… Expand

    the good : graphics and animations, sound design and voice acting
    the bad : gameplay is serviceable, the game drags a bit towards the end and becomes very repetitive
    the ugly : story and narrative

    The Graphics and sound design are awesome but the story...

    It was just a huge let down, as a fan of the first one you won't like part 2. I think everyone who likes this one wasn't really a fan of the first game. They just found the saddest story endings to all the characters we loved in part 1.

    This game is wonderful, it makes you feel in the same boots as Ellie, the same feelings, even when it was said the this game wasn't gonna be a pleasant journey, every detail is well made, and the way Joel influence Ellie was like a true father to a loved daughter such a good character development

    Awful story and clunky gameplay that feels stuck in the past. The characters in this game are a mockery to fans and characters we loved from the first game are completely mischaracterised to serve the plot awful game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Soy un gran fan del primero y tras haber terminado este puedo decir con toda la seguridad del mundo que me ha hecho sentir cosas que ningún videojuego sido capaz de hacer te hace sentir la rabia la frustración y la profunda depresión en la que las dos protagonistas se ven envueltas no es justo que la gente odie una obra maestra como esta sin haberla jugado tan siquiera aunque claro está que tratándose de un tema tan maduro no esta hecho para todos los públicos el final te desgarra por dentro como muy pocos videojuegos han sido capaz de hacerlo. Para mi este es algo único ya que no han tenido miedo de matar a alguien tan importante para nosotros como lo es Joel y después de ponernos en la piel de su asesina para entender las razones de porque lo hizo ver como la violencia genera más violencia y todo para acabar viendo a una Ellie demacrada mutilada y sola que ya no puede tocar la guitarra lo único que le quedaba de Joel por su venganza y culpándose así misma de todo lo que pasó. aquí no se tratan de malos o buenos sino de como se ve el mundo desde distintas perspectivas y de que no es todo blanco o negro para mi en términos de historia, gráficos jugabilidad y diseño de niveles es magistral, si le pudiera sacar algo negativo por sacarle algo es la poca importancia que le dan a Jesse ya que no sientes nada cuando muere cosa que con el primer TLOU si que lo consiguieron con Sarah. es un juego que da que pensar y me apena muchísimo que haya generado tanto odio entre los jugadores de forma totalmente injustificada. Lo único que espero es que hagan un DLC para ver como termina todo de verdad.… Expand

Graphic battle map Facial expression behavior of the character Great, but I wanted to continue the story of Elie and Joel I was in the Dinosaur Museum with Joel and Elie in this game, nothing more than a spaceship. No matter how much Abbey had various pasts and conflicts, it was the beginning that Firefly tried to perform surgery without telling Elie or Joel. You can play this game again if there is a DLC that can narrow down Abby, but in me it is the best choice to escape the reality that Last of Us 2 was not released.… 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.

    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]
