    a game like this comes along once a generation - thanks, Naughty Dog, for this incredible second chapter. I'll be thinking about it for years.

    A mí el juego me ha gustado michisimo, de hecho llevo varios días dándole vueltas, te remueve por dentro. Te hace ver las dos partes de la historia y que ni los buenos son tan buenos ni los malos tan malos. Unos gráficos y unos detalles impresionantes. Lo recomiendo.

    Giving it a 6 because this game could have been amazing - graphics, clumsy but in the end ok mechanics, few nice sections (birthday flashback), and a very inclusive approach - on characters selections but on the gameplay possibilities as well.

    But...

    Imagine you are locked down in a room with the most hated character. Person that locked you down wants you to start like it, but both of you can't speak or move an inch.

    Then also remember GoT S8 characters arch and multiply by 10. Side characters in TLoU2 are developed in a sub-mediocre level. Saw this on an youtube comment and 1000% agree - Arthur's horse had a better character development than Jesse, Tommy, Dina, Manny. Only Lev and Yarra have some nice development.

    You introduce a lesbian relationship, but for 90% of the game there is no chemistry between them.

    My conclusion is that people that created the story + produced the game behaved like some sadistic parents that want to teach their kids how to behave by being really really cruel and violent with them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The hype for this game was very high. First installment was almost perfect in case of visuals, story etc. and the part 2 is also pretending to be as good as it's prequel except one thing: the story. Some narrative decisions were totally wrong for example how can you kill Joel that everybody loved with the golf club and force the audience to play as the character who did it?! For ten hours! I really liked the game, they improved mechanics, visuals and they,ve added some rpg elements like the half open Seattle area in the beginning of the game. It really looks like the next generation game but the story , LGBT propaganda and weird ending brings down the rating to 7/10. Hope you don't make the next game about Abby Naughty Dog. And my god it was so satisfying to be stealthy in this game.… Expand

    An era defining game that clearly doesn’t deserve its hate. The graphics, the gameplay, and boy.... the story. Another emotional Rollercoaster that makes your stomach turn and really start to wonder.

    Let's get this out of the way - the story is an artistic diarrhoea. It's not pleasant, it stinks and goes on for ages. Seriously, this game overstayed it's welcome by about 10 hours! It has its moments but they are few and far between. Characters are extremely unlikeable too and I just couldn't develop any kind of bond with them.

Characters are extremely unlikeable too and I just couldn't develop any kind of bond with them. That said , it's a gorgeous looking game - probably best looking I've seen. Voice acting is spot on and gameplay generally satisfying, although as the game progressed, it started to get a little repetitive. It mostly consists of getting to an area, clearing it of enemies or sneaking past and repeating this process. It's still fun, you can take them out silently, go guns blazing or set up traps.
    This game is not a masterpiece, it's also not a total garbage as most user scores would have you believe - it's just worse then part one and that is the problem.    … Expand

    Naughty Dog takes you on a journey, it may not be the one that is wanted but its the one that is needed.

Every moment of this game I was hit by overwhelming emotion, feeling too much at any given time, like my nerves were on fire. ND tells the story they want to tell and every piece is so deliberately thought over. The contrast of characters and how the narrative jumps from past to present gives more weight to the actions you the player are experiencing and witnessing.

    Gameplay is a huge improvement from the first with players being able to craft ammo, use ropes and vertical environmental changes to navigate. Combat feels tighter than the first, AI is smarter and can be customized in the accessibility options. Infected are scarier and pose more of a threat. The world of The Last of Us is as hauntingly beautiful as ever with more open world feeling areas.

    The voice acting is on point. I felt for characters I didn't want to feel for. And the facial capture brings new life.

    I dare say this has become my favorite game.    … Expand

This narrative arrangement puts Abby on the opposite side of the player so that the player will hate this character. When players don't like this character, the character's kindness is more like hypocrisy for them. In my opinion, if the director can put Abby's storyline at the beginning of the story, players will feel much better.

Maybe it's because they have a different writing team or something but the characters didn't really interact in a natural way either. In some parts it feels like they're just tourists going through a museum instead of actual survivors in a post-apocalypse.

Beware: the game won't do it gently, and that is gonna be the best part of it.
    What you'll play is indeed a "real" video game, not an interactive experience, with a smooth gameplay, it will seem familiar since it's similar to the one from the first chapter while improved in every single aspect and extremely fun to play.
    I don't think there isn't any need to talk about the graphics, but, if I have to, I'll just say that some little details blew me away and sometimes I even forgot I was playing a video game.
    The world has a need of bold, well-written and incredibly well-developed games like this.

    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.
