    After undestanding the real meaning of the game you begin to realise that this game is actually a masterpiece. Still think there was no need to play so much time with Abby, but the conclusion is really great.

    Very good game. Worst problem is a few directing and pacing issues but it takes risks and i was invested the entire time. Not as good as the first though

    This is a game that MUST be played to the very end to fully understand and fairly judge. If I were to have rated this game after 4 hours or 14 hours of gameplay, I’d give it a much lower score due to preconceived notions and dissatisfaction with the story. However, after completing the game, it gets a 9 out of 10 and it is well earned. In many ways, it is a masterpiece, but with minor flaws.

    STORY
    An amazing story that shows perspectives and consequences of revenge. The characters are well-written, dialogs makes sense and sound natural, the story is very well put together. I can see why many people have an issue with the story, it shows a different perspective to the main characters of the first game.

    Builds on what the first game created and gives you so many different ways to tackle most situations. It’s a significant improvement from the first game. GRAPHICS
    Scenarios look beautiful, especially at sunset. Character models and animations are also really well made. One of the best looking games in my opinion. SOUND
    Pretty good. All weapons sound as they should, Soundtrack completes the vibe, enemies and infected sound scary if you wear good headphones or have a good sound bar.    … Expand

    I like this game. The graphics weren't really good, but the story is an amazing **** I play it for the second time to be able to judge everything from a different perspective and it is so difficult to play the game again. You have to kill nice people who ran into each other during the first game and it hurts .....

Yes, as a TLOU fan i was shocked and frustrated with SOME SCENARIO MOVES, but, at the end, i got it. Yes. This is game is almost a masterpiece, i would give it 9/10.

Most agree that the first installment didn't "need" a sequel, but there were still some loose ends that left it as a possibility, and this game covers them in a satisfying way.
    The gameplay and visuals were absolutely phenomenal. It improves upon what made the first game great, and deserves its place as a next-generation continuation of a PlayStation classic. New features such as the ability to prone, tall grass that obscures enemy sight, and the dodge mechanic offers players more options to either cunningly stealth their way through well thought out maps or simply engage aggressively - there are several ways to approach every scenario but the game doesn't pigeon-hole you into one playstyle.
    Story-wise, this game has divided its playerbase in ways I've never witnessed in all my years playing video games. However, you shouldn't take this as a bad thing necessarily. This narrative does require you to come into it with an open mind. If you have rigid expectations coming this and aren't open to immersing yourself in the story that the writers were going for, you're doomed to hate it. Go into it understanding that the writers love these characters as much as the fans do, but fully respect the nature of the universe in which they exist - a lawless world where right and wrong are not determined by any singular mind or governing body. A world where you must seek your own form of justice when you are wronged.
    Personally, I absolutely loved the artistry and effort that was behind crafting this narrative. The writers have had many successes in their previous projects and they easily could've played it safe and followed a similar formula that guaranteed them another homerun, but they opted for a route that was riskier and explored darker aspects of human nature that other creators are either too afraid to explore, or missed the mark in their attempt. For that, I am thankful that this game exists.
    For as much praise as I am willing to give it, it does have drawbacks. There is a point in the game where it builds momentum and leads to what feels like a climax, then abruptly takes a sharp left turn and the pace grinds to a halt and the buildup back to a climax restarts. I don't think this particular narrative would've worked as well as it did if this didn't happen, but it did leave a sour taste in my mouth at the time.    … Expand

    One of the best games I have ever played. Unlike a lot of others, I actually think the plot was a very good continuation of The Last of Us 1. The mechanics, graphics, dialogs and obviously the STORY was amazing. I would give it 10/10 if not for length of the game; could be a little more condensed in my opinion, but for many it is probably a benefit.

    Another issue I noticed seems related the (aggressive) motion blur, causing a weird effect on the top of the screen when rotating camera fast in some scenarios, almost like a screen tearing. Turning down the effect to 5/10 seems to have helped a bit.

    Whether you like the story or not its a MATTER OF PERSONAL TASTE.
    The studio's vision definitely didn't match what I expected for a sequel, but it doesn't make it a bad thing at all, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and they could only make one story, from their own minds.
    The one thing I didn't like much is that they tried too much to pull some things and cause game to be boring at times.
    Character progression exists and it is an important part of the whole thing. However, I feel that the characters lack charisma.    … Expand

    The music is just as good as the first game.

    The story is where everyone fails to see how good this game is. Everything in this games story focuses on the central theme of forgiveness. The game is heavy handed in showing how revenge destroys you as a person. It builds off the last games trope of characters making selfish decisions due to events that happened affecting each character personally. Joel dooms humankind to save a girl that reminds him of his daughter that was killed. His decision in this matter is completely selfish. In the sequel we see a new character abby make a selfish decision based off the act of another joel killing her brother. Much like joel's decision to kill all the fireflies in the first game. This decision affects ellie and causes her to make her own selfish decision that hurts others around her. Through out the game we see ellie grapple with the fact joel made a decision she did not agree with. Ultimately the story is about ellie forgiving joel. But really its about forgiving abby for her sins as well. Its a heartwarming tale about how even if the jury and the judge tells you, you have a right to hold a grudge, you can still forgive.

Debido aEn primer lugar quiero dejar bien claro que The Last Of Us en mi videojuego favorito de todos los tiempos. No solo por ser un gran juego es mi videojuego favorito sino porque ademas el primer juego marco un antes y un después en mi vida y en mi forma de entender la industria del videojuego. Por lo cual intentar hacer una critica a esta segunda parte me es de una gran dificultad. Debido a esta ola incoherente de malas criticas y de un abusos excesivos. Me dispongo unos cuantos días después de haber finalizado el juego a hacer mi respectiva y única critica a The Last Of Us Part II. Creo que Naughty Dog se ha arriesgado en este juego y es verdad que han intentado abordar temas complejos y poco explorados en los videojuegos. Pero he de decir que la resolución de estos añadidos arriesgados han sido de gran admiración. Sin ser pesados y siendo coherente los temas sociales e incluso políticos que están presentes en el juego son muy sutiles y en ningún momento abusivos. Se agradece y es de admirar que este tipo de creados se arriesguen con estos temas porque realmente estos temas tendrían que ser mas explorados y detallados en la industria.
    Creo que respecto a la historia se nota una gran mejoría con respecto a la calidad de esta como en la forma de contarla. Dejando huella en mucha ocasiones con escenas que se recordaran por siempre. Las mecánicas sin ser muy renovadoras y siendo muchas de ellas heredadas del primer juego. Están mucho mas pulidas y mejoradas también dando lugar a mecánicas nuevas que impactan y sorprenden. Con respecto a la jugabilidad mejora muy potencialmente con respecto a la primera parte y hace el juegos mas divertido y fluido. Tengo que decir que en esta segunda parte el apartado musical se queda un poco atrás con respecto a la primera parte. Esto no quiere decir que la música sea peor sino que el apartado musical destaca menos con respecto al papel protagonista que tenia la música en su anterior entrega. Pero este tipo de carencia lo compensa con unos increíbles y obsesivos detalles técnicos y artísticos tanto en el entorno del propio juego como en sus personajes. Alejándose en muchos momentos de ser algo ficticio a algo que roza la propia realidad señalando a su vez el gran trabajo tanto actoral como artístico Pero aun así creo que en este juego la jugabilidad no es la parte mas importante. The Last Of Us destaca por sus increíbles personajes, entornos e historia y en esta segunda parte se nota como en Naughty Dog trabajan verdaderos profesionales que saben crear y contar historias de una manera única. En definitiva no me quiero enrollar mucho con esta critica porque creo sinceramente que The Last Of Us Part II es en si una obra maestra y claramente esta segunda parte superan en todos los aspectos a la primera parte. Solo que para mi la primer parte tiene un significado añadido que hace que me decante por ella. Pero por favor dejar de atacar y criticar a un juego por una intención o porque moralmente no os agrade lo que veáis en pantalla. Recordar que los videojuegos los jugamos nosotros, pero nosotros no decidimos como se hacen. Dejar ese trabajo a profesionales como la gente de Naughty Dog que ademas de hacer un increíble trabajo nos han brindado una autentica obra maestra y de lo único que han pecado es de intentar educar y enseñar a la gente que el videojuego ahora mas que nunca en un arte. Mi nota real es de 9.5    … Expand

    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.
