    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let’s be honest. I know people go to games for an escape from reality. But the last of us part II was one of the more realistic depictions of conflicts arising from this type of world, where all your choices had real consequences. I personally felt like I was playing through a 24hr interactive movie. And I loved it.… Expand

    El juego es excelente pero muchas personas lo consideran como malo solo por ciertos elementos forzados como lo es la inclusión LGBT además de que la historia no fue comprendida hasta un tiempo después ya que mucha gente cree que solo trata de una búsqueda desesperada de venganza pero este representa las 5 etapas del duelo y las consecuencias de la mala reacción y al humanizar alEl juego es excelente pero muchas personas lo consideran como malo solo por ciertos elementos forzados como lo es la inclusión LGBT además de que la historia no fue comprendida hasta un tiempo después ya que mucha gente cree que solo trata de una búsqueda desesperada de venganza pero este representa las 5 etapas del duelo y las consecuencias de la mala reacción y al humanizar al antagonista(abby) solo logra ponerte en un punto medio entre quien debería de salir vivo en este caso por lo que al analizar todos los puntos este juego es excelente ya que tiene una historia aparentemente simple pero muy buena y compleja además de una muy buena jugabilidad variedad de escenarios además de la narrativa excelente en mi opinión vale completamente la pena solo tuvo un mal recibimiento por los possers y por que este juego fue incomprendido para mi es un 10/10… Expand

    The last of us part 2 tells a story that makes you feel every kind of emotions so deeply. Hate, love, sadness, happiness notions processed as perfect as first game. Amazing scenario aside gameplay and ambiance are awesome as well.

    Its insane how ND made a perfect game even better in part 2. I actually like the story a lot more in part 2. I feel like Joel needed to die, especially early, for the story to progress and for Ellie to grow as a character. The whole revenge plot is both complex and compelling.

    The game shows that there is not a good and a bad side, this only depends off the point of view that you have. What you think is right and just for you destroys the other part.

    The narrative shows you that the vengeance only destroys you and the others and it will not make you feel better,

Btw this game is a 10/10, at this date i still think gamers weren't ready for this kind of story, we are used to play those story where we are the good and the hero and the baddie is, well.. bad.

Non c’è niente da dire, evidentemente chi si lamenta dell’inserimento di dinamiche LGBT non ha mai giocato al TLOU parte 1, e per quanto riguarda la morte di Joel trovo che sia stata la scielta più giusta in quanto il personaggio aveva ancora ben poco da dire. In sostanza il gioco è un capolavoro.… Expand

    Played this game after a year and a half of release because of all the release fud, and I'm really glad I could get past that and focus on my own player experience.

Overall, I think the story was well thought out. Abby stepped up to the plate (no pun intended) even though she knew she was going to be a hated character from the get-go.... And she was, but they made her that way on purpose. We had to hate her, ellie had to hate her, so we could play through her revenge phase and EXPERIENCE Ellie's rage right along side of her. But also to experience the emotional and psychological scars, the guilt, the shame.... Then comes Abby.... was it easy to play as her? No. But I enjoyed getting to know her, her back story, her motives, her friends, and what she was all about. And to walk a mile or two in her shoes really gives some perspective on the emotional and psychological turmoil she too was going through. Both Ellie and Abby loved and lost and both sought revenge, and neither found what they were looking for: closure. Instead, they both suffered further consequences. This isn't just a flat 2-d story of revenge, this game goes so much deeper. It was a longer game, 25+ hrs, but that time is needed to build an understanding. I think a revenge plot, fulfilled, would have fallen flat as a story line with no character arc. Instead we experience a game with more emotions and conflict than ever before. I went in knowing and wanting to hate Abby, but left the game wanting to know more about her and her situation and, if I'm being completely honest for a guy who hasn't pretty much zero empathy for anyone, had a great amount of empathy and compassion for what she'd been through by the end. It's so strange of an ending as you don't know who to root for anymore. The game helps you with that as you don't have a choice, but looking back, I think that would have been a saving grace for the whole controversy this game underwent.... Just the allowance of the end-user to make a choice as to how they wanted things to end. And that choice would lead to it's own ending and consequences for the character. (Far Cry pulls it off time and again, why couldn't TLOU do it?) At the end, it's a story with 2 distinct character arcs, and comes down to the simplicity of forgiveness. I do believe the game had some of it's own agenda items to push and I don't necessarily agree with the major push behind that, but I won't get into that here as I didn't see that it detracted that much from the story, but definitely skirted the line of unnecessary intrusion. Not taking any points off for that. Gameplay was great, graphics were great, weapons and upgrade system was fine, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, but due to the personal emotional turmoil, I don't know that I'd go through it again. That and the jump scares, daggum this game had some solid effing scares in it! Speaking of jump scares, the sound design was spot on, the musical score was spot on.... Overall, was dark and gritty, gruesome and graphic, but a masterpiece in it's own way. I'd like to see some DLC's on how things ended up afterwards. I think there's some loose ends the player base may be interested to know more about.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think sadly, in a way, the story of this game was too progressive for its audience and for the gaming culture of today. Whilst it's brutal and emotionally difficult to process, I think the game accurately portrays grief and loss and how it can change a person to the point that they are unrecognisable. I'm not going to sit here and say that it's a perfect game, there are flaws the same as all, but I don't think it deserves the amount of hate it receives.

    The reason why I have given it a 10 is because in my eyes, the story makes perfect sense, the scenery and music is beautiful and the game play is just really fun. Joel dying in the beginning happened because he had it coming to him, as unfortunate and devastating as that is (I cried for hours). Ellie then turns into a person that we don't recognize from the first game, fuelled by hatred and betrayal and sadness as a now grown adult. That's another thing people seem to forget: Ellie is not the same person that she was in the first game. She's not 14 anymore, she's come into her adult self (probably influenced by Joel as the father figure later in her life) and therefore her actions portray as such.

    The game, if played with the right mindset, makes the reader question every moral they have by playing as both Abby and Ellie. Playing as Ellie, Abby in the beginning is the antagonist but as you come to the end of Ellie's time in Seattle, you start to see her almost as the villain. Playing as Abby, the killer of much loved Joel, you start to understand why everything panned out in the way that it did and in turn see her side of things and begin to see Ellie and Joel as the antagonists of her story. The game highlights loss and the cycles of revenge that are seemingly never-ending--it also makes you question every belief you have about the original characters.

    I think to be honest, people who dislike this game only dislike it because Joel died and that doesn't come across well after he was the protagonist of the first game. I think they find things to hate about the game, such as the fact that both protagonists are female, or that Ellie is a lesbian, or that Abby doesn't appear like the societal beauty standard of a woman or even that Joel dies and base their opinion of the whole game on small things like this.
    When in fact, if you zoom out so to speak, and look at the entire picture, you can probably see that the game has one of the most intense and beautiful stories of all time in my opinion. It's an emotional rollercoaster, but worth it.

    The game deserves better ratings, I thought it was phenomenal.    … Expand

    If you give this game a zero then you're just ignorant and want to see the game fail lmao. The story is not as "big scale" as the first game, they aren't fighting to save the world or some generic cringe **** it's all about a personal scuffle.

    Naughty Dog obviously wanted to make a darker sequel that makes you think. Never have a been so motivated to do something in a game before and yes the writers did do Joel wrong, Joel was a selfish piece o **** sure, but in the world of the Last of us, you probs would be too. There's some problems to the game such as a couple story shortcomings but that's it. This game is graphically the best looking game I have seen to date, there's no denying that. Gameplay is improved from the last game in every possible way and if you think it's too simple or easy, turn the difficulty up!! I promise the higher difficulties in this game will have your heart pumping and will have you holding your breath in almost any encounter to hope that the enemy won't hear you. IMMERSIVE. The original score/soundtrack in this game is intense, heart-pumping, anxiety-inducing greatness. Some characters die yes, this is a horrid extremely violent post-apocalyptic world where literally all humanity has left the mf chat my guy. The detail put into this game is jaw-dropping, you blow somebody's head off with a magnum, them ****s looks like you blew somebody's head off with a mf magnum bruh. Realistic, gory, DARK, emotional, and thought-provoking. If the darkness in this game is too scary for you, then you probably wouldn't last very long in the world of The Last of Us, along with that one Asian chick playing the ps vita that you stab in the throat.    … 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]
