Graphically excellent. Audio is superb and woven into the game mechanics really nicely. Combat always feels like I could have done it better but stealth works far better than in most games. Scavenging becomes a bit tiresome but finding a little trove of goodies still raises a smile. Absolutely brutal and gruesome at times. Not sure the enemies calling each other by name makes me feel any less guilty when everyone you meet seems to be a psychotic murderer! Completely seamless level loading, assisted by some very well scripted intermissions. Love this game.… Expand

    La mejor secuela posible si quieres sentir el dolor de lo que pasa, valiente, sin tapujos, seguramente no hará feliz a todos pero era necesaria tal o como el tite Neil nos la ha contado. 10 en todos los sentidos, quizás sólo mejorable unos puzzles más complejos, por lo demás es puro amor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is what happens when you put themes and hidden meanings above the plot; you get a bad story. This is a byproduct of a developer thinking of themselves as an “artist” and that everything they do is “art”. The story is terrible and it ruins the legacy of the first game, just because Druckmann had to stroke his giant ego because he thinks no one loves the characters as much as he does, which is arrogant and insulting to the fans. The execution of Joel’s death was the most pathetic, shock value writing I have ever witnessed even though I was expecting Joel to die. Every character is utterly bland and uninteresting. Naughty Dog sacrificed the character development of Ellie and Dina for Abby and her friends, who everyone hates. Playing as Abby feels like a forced attempt to make us like her, an irredeemable character. Everyone bought this game because they thought they would be playing as Ellie and it would be her story. If I had known half the game would be Abby’s, I would not have bought the game. I don’t know why a game company would sabotage their own game like this. I would rate it more than a 0 because of the graphics and sound quality, but in 2020, every game has great graphics and sound design. What made The Last of Us II the most anticipated game of the generation was the story, which it hopelessly failed to tell.… Expand

    I have to admit I didn’t enjoy the game quite as much as the first one, but not from any lack of quality gameplay or poor storytelling.

The users giving this game a super low rating are just immature and frustrated that naughty dog didn’t do what Star Wars the force awakens did and play fan service, giving people what they thought they wanted- or they’re homophobic and can’t keep an open mind about anything. The story here is unmatched by any other video game out there and probably 95% of movies out there, but it’s just so heartbreaking watching these events happen to characters that you have grown to love. But that’s life and sometimes stories are sad- that doesn’t make them bad stories- they make you feel things. Naughty dog was in a unique situation coming into this game where we care so much about them and that could be a gift or a curse. This game would not have worked if it wasn’t for the first game where they had a chance to build that backstory. I laughed and I cried. By the time it was done I just felt shaken, but I’m pretty sure that’s what they were going for. I was left wishing things ended differently but again not because it was a bad ending, but because I just wanted so much more for Joel and Ellie...however this was an amazing game with ALL the feels... … Expand

    One word "Masterpiece". Yes some story arcs were difficult to take in at first but as we progress further in the story it all make sense. TBH i never treated TLOU as a "game" but have always treated it as an experience & with sequel i was ready for another experience and it certainly lived up to my expectations.

I feel many are hung up on Joel's demise and while that scene was tragic, and could've been handled better, all of the other aspects of the game were flawless. I personally love the dynamics of combat, and (while playing on hard) found survival to be a great challenge. I'm well aware that the ending is very debatable, I found TLOU2 to slightly edge out it's predecessor just because of the content and length of story. Please try this game out before making a informed review!… Expand

    Finished it once and I could never bring myself to replay it again the idea of the story was there they were headed in the right direction but the truly unsatisfying ending that makes you feel like the entire journey was for nothing and failed attempt to make you understand or like Abby with the 5+ hours of gameplay were the 2 major blows for me. the gameplay can get very boring at timesFinished it once and I could never bring myself to replay it again the idea of the story was there they were headed in the right direction but the truly unsatisfying ending that makes you feel like the entire journey was for nothing and failed attempt to make you understand or like Abby with the 5+ hours of gameplay were the 2 major blows for me. the gameplay can get very boring at times and feels like your spending to much time clicking triangle trying to find out where to go next instead of actually playing the game the whole love triangle heavily influenced LGBT thing was way to focused in the game not that I have any problems with it but once agendas start running the show in video games it starts to mess with the plot point and can start to confuse the players immensely I love almost all of Naughty Dogs work but when they said “Fun” was not a word they use they took it to another extent they took the game out of the video with cutscenes that easily take up almost half the game not to mention the Abby parts big sheeeeeeeeesh. Aside from all that we all expected the Combat, Gameplay, Customization, Visuals, Graphics, Soundtrack, Infected, Mechanics, AI to be phenomenal which it was but with The Last Of Us being a mostly story driven game and “Ellies Revenge” never really being a thing I think its fair to rate it a 5/10 would I buy it again ? Definitely not for the 60$ price point especially with it having no multiplayer mode but if you could snatch it for a lower price it definitely would not be a complete waste like I said right direction but was not executed in the right way not that everyone expected it to be a Disney fairytale but it really does feel like there’s no possible way this is what a company like Naughty Dog comes up with in a 6 year development of one of the most cherished PlayStation exclusives of all time… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A stunning game. Visually and mechanics-wise it improves upon everything the first game did right. The attention to detail, atmosphere, artwork, are all spot-on, 10/10. Storytelling-wise, 9/10. The way Naughty Dog did it was bold and unusual, and I dare to say revolutionary. In TLOU 2, the story is stripped of narrational perspective: the thing that makes the heroes get out of a pinch, makes you sympathize with your hero and his ideals. In other words, the plot is indiferent to the two sides of the story: Ellie and Abby. It doesnt favour one or the other. What you get when employing this is a true journey of self-reflection. You can't hold on to anything or anyone, you can't just take the side the story takes because there isn't one. That's the way this game got me feeling. I couldn't hold on to Joel. I couldn't bear to see Ellie hurt, but I couldn't hold on to her either. I could empathize with Abby to some extent, but I couldn't condone her actions and couldn't hold on to her. Everything about this game was heartbreak and despair. The game accomplishes this lack of narrational perspective almost perfectly, but I feel like the Abby side need more reenforcement. We have to have in mind that Ellie was a character with a lot of history and emotional value. She was, therefore, at an advantage. That's where I feel the game failed. The two sides of the story are supposed to be equal, but Abby, because of her narrational disadvantage and lack of internal insight ( by internal insight I mean the "peep" at a person's mind, like Ellie's journal entries), feels too much like a side character. This is, for me, the reason many, while empathyzing with her, didn't care for her enough for that empathy to feel real and meaningful. This is the main reason I give the game a 9.
    Now, I can't make a review of this game without addressing Joel's death. At first, I was dumbfounded. On the earliest hours of the game, they killed our dear The Last of Us hero in the most horrible way possible. I thought it was merely for shock value, but it wasn't. You see, the narrative had a problem. How can the game portray the broken relationship between Ellie and Joel? How can you truly have a sense of the tragic, the despair, the hopelesness that they feel? So they kill Joel. They make it even more tragic. Because now they didn't even have the chance to try and fix what they broke. And the storytelling that they got in exchange for Joel's death was breath-taking. They don't tell you the whole thing together. They tell you pieces of it. Flashbacks. Memories. Journal Entried. Photos. And that's the truth about loss. That's all you got of your relationship. And because Joel is dead, you cherish those moments and little things much more intensily, like Ellie does too. So even though I was very sad that Joel died and to this day it sometimes comes back to me, I think it was very very well done. Hats off to Naughty Dog to doing a very risky thing work wonderfully.
    This game was loss and injustice portrayed beautifully well. But maybe it wasn't just that. I like to think that, at the end, when Ellie utterly lost everything and everyone, she also found what she was looking for. And that's a very special thing, for game with such a desolating ending, to leave a somewhat uplifting taste in your mouth.    … Expand

My biggest problem with this game was the story. The first game's story was super emotional, devastating, and beautiful, all at the same time. This game...was not. The entire course of the game, I felt very disturbed. The game is dark, more so than the first. Do not get me wrong, I do not mind if games are dark if they're pulled off well, but this game was not. I can't describe it without getting into spoiler territory, but the story to this game actually made me feel really depressed. The pacing of the story was weird, and the plot twists were executed very poorly. I felt like the gameplay and upgrading was superior to the first one, but it got repetitive. The amount of times I felt like I needed to be stealthy got very old. Enemy A.I. felt very inconsistent, and stealth encounters were at times very easy, and other times, weirdly hard. Many of the characters from the original game were ruined for me, and I was not a fan of many of the new characters.

    For some positives, I will say that visuals are breathtaking. Some of the best I have ever seen in a video game, actually. There was also one level in the game that was open world-ish, and I wish there would have been more sections like this, because it was done very well. The voice-acting also felt professional and very well done.

    Overall, as a video game, this game is pretty good. I was able to finish it, and as somebody who has a huge backlog of games I've started, but never finished, that's an impressive feat for a 20 hour game. However, as a sequel to the one of the most beloved games I've ever played, I was very disappointed with the direction Naughty Dog chose to go for this game. If you are a fan of the original Last of Us, approach this game with caution. I would recommend at least one playthrough, but do not go in expecting this game to be like the first, because it's not.    … 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]
