La historia al incio no me gusto pero cuando avance mas en el juego me fue enganchando, la muerte de joel fue algo que no me gusto lo senti forzado, aunque despues me di cuenta que tuvo algo de peso en la trama por lo demas es un execelente juego tanto visualmente y en su jugabilidad es muy buena es mucho mejor que el primero, en los aspectos que mencione por eso le doy un 9. La historia si me dejo un sabor amargo.......… Expand

    Edited Rating - I shamefully admit to jumping on the band wagon to down rate this game due to some story line decisions naughtydog made in the very early part of the game. I persevered to complete the game because..... I spent £60 on it and was desperate to complete and trade in. Upon completing the game I am left with a completely different feeling.... feelings I didn't expect at all....Edited Rating - I shamefully admit to jumping on the band wagon to down rate this game due to some story line decisions naughtydog made in the very early part of the game. I persevered to complete the game because..... I spent £60 on it and was desperate to complete and trade in. Upon completing the game I am left with a completely different feeling.... feelings I didn't expect at all.... I feel nothing but love, admiration and respect for this game.

    People are upset about certain social narratives and agendas which are portrayed through this game. If you are upset about this, you are missing the real message behind this game. That message is to truly understand how the world looks through the eyes of someone you might hate and loathe. TLOU2 does a great job in showing how groups of people from different backgrounds can be angry for completely legitimate reasons and people you end up hating, you end up loving because once you hear their story, understand their values and see life from their perspective you understand why they made the decisions they did.

The game is awesome, probably is not as perfect as the first one but the story is good, the characters got me engaged till some degree, Ellie has grown up for sure, and the gameplay and graphics are just absolute 10 on my book, they might have certain glances of SJW and politics in the game, but it doesn't make the experience less enjoyable, also in many areas of the game I found myself being very tense and that something that many games nowdays don't achieve, once again, congratulations Naughty Dog, you have done it again.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is definitely the Last Jedi of video games. It subverted almost every expectation i had for this game. We can all agree the soundtrack and graphics are AMAZING, especially considering this game is running on console, but the story is where everyone is divided. It took me roughly 17 hours to beat and when the credits started to role i felt DISGUSTED! "what game did i just play? What was the point in all of this. Nothing was achieved by anything that i had done on my journey to the end."

    But then i went to bed and thought about it. I thought about it a lot. I was so affected emotionally by how it made me feel i didn't realise how much it got to me. As Neil Druckmann stated, "the first game is about love, this game is about hate". I didn't hate it because it was poorly written, cause its not, i hated it because i wasn't thinking it from every characters perspective.

    When playing the second act of the game as Abby, all i was thinking about was "why in gods green earth am i playing as someone i absolutely loathe AND FOR SO GOD DAMN LONG! What game did i pay for?" i asked myself. But then as her arch went on I understood her head space, it got to the point i even questioned why i loved joel so much to begin with. Context also, last of us one is my favorite game ever, so much so i bought the custom PS4 pro and collectors edition. I could see where Abby is coming from, just as much as i could see where Ellie was coming from. I read a lot of people saying this game has tarnished the legacy of such a beloved character (being Joel), but the way i see it, it made you see the flaws in the people you love. Something a lot of people have a hard time doing even in their own personal lives. This game brought me to a place emotionally no other game has before, which is why i rate it so highly. If you have only seen the leaks without context, i highly recommend you play it as it really can only be defined by the overall journey and the context brought to light because of it.

    And i know most of you haven't played it cause when I beat it, i was one of 0.5% of people who owned the game who had done so. You trying to tell me 36k people make up 0.5% of the game??? im gonna hit F to doubt.

    I didn't give it a 10/10 because of how misleading the marketing was, and not for the reasons you think. I was so not onboard playing as Abby cause i did not get myself into the head space to do so. If it even slightly alluded to the fact in the games marketing that id be playing as someone else for almost a full half of the game (without any narrative context obviously) i would have enjoyed that portion of the experience a lot more.

    This game is BOLD, and begs the question of what defines right and wrong. Both characters are protagonists and Both are antagonists in their own right. I don't think I've ever seen such perfect form of story telling, as well as such well written characters. You will not like this game if you refuse to accept people who you adore have done **** things for their own self interests, and that people you hate have good reason to feel and do the things they do, and vise versa.    … Expand

    В игре самое плохое, это сюжет.

    I can't help but feel like most of these reviews must have been written by sexist homophobes. This game is heartwrenching and tense, just like the first one. Maybe this game is a little slower with pacing but I kinda had to feel like there was payoff to the end of the first one. It's a John wick style plot and I absolutely love it

I really enjoyed it and was surprised by some of the things that happened, things I nor my friends expected but even though I was mad at first I remembered what type of game it was and put it in a real world situation and it all made since. Overall this was an astounding game, it’s in a tie for game of the year with Final Fantasy VII Remake for me… Expand

    Сразу ставил низкую оценку из-за кардинального поворота в начале игры, но постепенно мнение поменялось. Тяжелый сюжет, можно было конечно переиграть все с более мягким сюжетом, остались бы все довольны.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the gameplay, graphics, scenery where amazing and so was the story until the ending. It makes no sense why Ellie didn’t kill Abby, she killed so many people and lost so many people on her path to revenge just to let her go in the end because a flashback of Joel playing a guitar. Makes 0 sense she’s lost everything for nothing. Couldn’t have ended any worse. There is to many holes in the story, but in the end i enjoyed it, really should’ve went a different route with the ending tho Neil.… Expand

El juego es simplemente una gozada , terminarlo en dificil fue una odisea por lo estratégico que se a vuelto aún más y la cantidad de enemigos que te pueden tocar , la verdad es que la historia está muy bien desarrollada tanto con Ellie como con Abby , se entiende la razón de Abby de porque asesino a Joel y porque ahora tiene tanta importancia en la trama , aunque a mucha gente no le gusto el final abierto en lo personal le encuentro sentido por ser el pase a la parte 3 y esto nos abre el camino a las nuevas posibilidades para estas dos personajes quizá en un futuro de ser aliadas y perdonarse 10/10 el juego .… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pesar de que algunos lo catalogan como no jugable, tiene sus momentos emotivos, momentos en las que descansas y vives un descanso en la que explora un poco y aprendes a la vez. Elly canta y s un canto es muy relajante, joel a pesar haber muerto, sigue apareciendo, su muerte sólo dramatismo a la drama. Algo innecesario. Está vez no superó al predecesor. Sigue teniendo bug y la historia no es mala pero tampoco es como la mejor. Leerás reseñas que intentan solo sacar lo malo. Las gráficas son buenas, la historia no es tanto. Por lo mismo no se merece un 10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing sequel to easily one of the best, if not the best, game I have every played. The story takes a drastic turn from the expected early on, I personally feels like it drags during the middle of the game, but toward the end it is once again enthralling. The gameplay was better than the first but decent at most, but this isn't a game you play for the gameplay, although I did feel it suited the type of game very well.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cons. In terms of story the game is not bad, but it has no closure. The gameplay is great but too repetitive and not really chalenging. The game is too long and big parts of it, unnescesary.
    The escence of the first game is completely lost, no more story regarding to Ellies inmunity and to the infected, the influence and message of the firelies is no more, etc.

    Pros.
    The graffics are perfect and the game looks just beautyful.
    The mesage that the game sends is clear and valuable.
    It is a grat example of a story and a game that sends politic ideas without being forced and unpleasing.
    The animations are next gen and the game is greatly immersive. The music and soundtrack are a masterpiece.
    The work on Elilies character is perfect and human.
    Every character has its development even if they are no good.
    The game achieves what it was meant to, even if it doesnt live to vague expectations.    … Expand

The game is incredible in several aspects such as graphics, gameplay, soundtrack, facial expressions and others, but Joel's death was very bad for a smuggler like Joel, his death was necessary, I was already resigned but the way they did it sucked, he could die fighting. The game is incredible at various times in history, for example, the flashbacks, I got really emotional and it was very well done, in the end my opinion is quite divided but I understand the message they wanted to send but I think I could have the option to kill Abby or not because it was up to each player to decide. The perfect game does not exist everyone has its defects and flaws but the last of us part ll is worth… 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]
