    The last of us 2 is the combination of love, thriller and violence. The game does it works to make you connect to the game at any part of it. Visual and environment are really good make you feel a apocalyptic world, it brings the best out of the game.

Visual and environment are really good make you feel a apocalyptic world, it brings the best out of the game. Gameplay is quite so not satisfying as many and myself was having difficult to adapt the movement of Elie. The story was not good as we expected it carry many flaws. Firstly the death of joel discouraged many players as we have been very connected to joel from last of us part 1 and really wanted to see the joel's fatherhood towards Elie. After the death of joel the game just remain as quest of Elie killing everyone involved in Joel's murder one and another. Secondly the switch to Abby’s perspective doesn’t just grind the narrative to a halt, it also dampens the gameplay experience. So our ratings to visual and gamplay is 9/10, whereas the story only gets 7/10.

    Overall ratings comes to 8/10.    … Expand

    For me this game is something Special. It tried to pull a stunt not many games would be willing to pull.
    It took the heroes and beloved Characters and made them human, made them flawed. the story wasnt perfect and it wasnt bad it was just that a story that wanted to be told and it was told through amazing gameplay and mediocre to good cutscenes i enjoyed my time and will ahve a second go

    Great game that really plays with your emotions and made me feel conflicted about character’s decisions. Gameplay is fantastic and improves upon the first one.

    The best PS4 game I ever played. I totally dont get the hate. Very depressing and dark story, which is exactly what makes a game/movie special in my opinion. I would definitely play it again.

    I don’t think it’s as bad as people are saying. I’d personally rate it a 6.7 exactly. I think it does have some flaws in story telling but they do just the same amount of things right as they do wrong. And I don’t think those bad things should ruin the entire game for me, and they didn’t. Fun and immersive gameplay. Stunning environments and graphics.

    An incredibly bad part 2 which has nothing to do with the sexuality of characters etc. but just the storytelling in itself. Simply disappointing after a 7 year wait. It makes me angry that I was looking forward to it :(

    This game is disappointing tbh. The gameplay and graphics are good but the story sucked. Not well written and badly executed. How can you feel sorry for someone that killed your dad like wth? TLOU2 is not even TLOU without Joel. What made THLOU good was Joel and the story. I want my money back

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game looks great and is top notch when it comes to graphics. The mishandling of a character to put the spotlight on a forced agenda character or characters is a travesty and shame that we cant play as the character we really wanted to play with. The story pissed me off of the way a character was handled. The director just wanted a pat on the back from a small percentage of players. I like IGN Japan's review over the butt kissing IGN America review. The game isn't a masterpiece and i have no empathy for ABBY. Wanted to kill her at the beginning and the end. Its worth a rent but not purchase.… Expand

    I get it. Revenge is bad and blah blah blah.

    Nobody wants to hear about your elitism nonsense, Nick. This franchise is ruined and after only 2 hours of playing. OMG I know they wanna play GOD, but they don't have a right to disrespect someone's feelings like that. It's a game!! Man. Game should be fun, not disgusting. I guess wishing to see more journey of Joel & Elle was too much    I get it. Revenge is bad and blah blah blah.

    Horrible game. Horrible horrible pacing with a forced political agenda in a non modern apocalyptic setting with plot armor to stop people from despising the disgrace this game did to the first game. The Last of Us 1 was the best game I've ever experienced, and the graphics aren't all that great now when I played it again. This makes a point that insane graphics aren't even important.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a great game that is heavily held back by its story in the second half. Overall I really enjoyed the game, the gameplay is enhanced from the first game and that is what's important to me. The graphics look nice too but that matters a bit less. The main thing holding it back for me is the story and the pacing, I hated the second half of it when I took control of Abby while the gameplay is the same it broke the pace by having us start over in progression and we have to play as the villain all of a sudden. To say it was a jolt is an understatement. I spent a good chunk at the start just killing her anyway I could. Knowing what she did I could not forgive her because she is a hypocrite. Her revenge is justified but Ellie's isn't. About halfway through playing as her I started to ignore it but I still couldn't get over it. Another thing that bugs me is the tacked on epilogue, the game should have ended in Seattle but it kept going, with Santa Barbra once again breaking the pace, and that is the main issue for me overall. However, I did enjoy my time with it and since gameplay is the most important thing for me in a video game I believe my score is fair.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego si bien es bueno en cuanto a mecánicas, gráficos, etc; su historia no está a la altura, dandole excesiva pantalla a momentos que no tienen nada que ver con la experiencia The Last Of Us Part 2. Si bien es una historia que quizás para un spin off, o una historia que tuviera lugar en el mismo universo estaría bien, pero como continuidad de The Last Of Us 1 es horrible. Igual debo hacer una critica hacia el lesbianismo que expresa el juego, el cual sin duda no estoy en contra del movimiento perse, siento que no aporta mucho al juego y a la experiencia, siempre he dicho que estas cosas, la inclusión, las ideas, etc; deberían estar al servicio de la historia, no la historia estar al servicio de dichas cosas cosas, le dan demasiada pantalla al tema, viendose incluso que está al servicio de una agenda politica. Siento que el nivel de madurez de la entrega no creció con las personas que la jugaban en la primera parte, no porque tenga sexo, violencia, ni malas palabras significa que va a presentar una historia madura y ni tampoco una buena historia.
    Un ejemplo donde se hable de venganza de buena manera sería Red Dead Redemption 2, donde se aborda de manera realmente madura, sorprendiendo de una compañía que usualmente hace gala de pocos argumentos al crear una historia. En cambio Naughty Dog quien es el cual se espera que produzca una historia donde realmente nos parezca algo cercano, natural y familiar, crea The Last Of Us Part 2, la cual no te hace crear ningún vínculo personaje, jugador, el tiempo de desarrollo que tomo la última creación de Naughty Dog para mi fue algo alargado, siendo el producto final de tan mala calidad.

    Good day all,
    Just hated the story so much. The writers didn't feel and understand the vibe. Very disappointed.
    I really want my money back but more than that my time spent on this game. Killing is bad. Oh..yeas! isn't this obvious?? Maybe just give us a choice not to kill everybody on sight and really give us some warm and good story. The real world is full of hatred and suffering.    Good day all,

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the Ellie and Joel flashbacks, and moments but it doesn't feel like the last of us. The character we've been waiting years to see died within the first 2 hours, and its like the game laughs at us. Abby was a completely annoying, obnoxious, sloppy, terrible character to play and go against. She kills off our favorite character, Dina (in whom was pregnant) she nearly gets killed, Jesse dies, and Tommy almost dies. The ending itself is in a whole different realm of disappointing, lame, and boring. Making everything seem like it was all for nothing. 2/10 DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!… Expand

    Es un juego muy duro hablando anímicamente, los grandes mapas llenos de lugares por explorar y la carencia de mini mapas o señaladores de zonas, hacen que tengamos que estar muy pendientes para no perdernos nada, dandole mas relevancia a el juego, la interfaz es muy similar a la que se vio en la precuela, sien embargo, en esta entrega podemos disfrutar de mas variedad de armas y objetos fabricables.

    En cuanto a la historia, continua con la aventura de Joel y Ellie después de terminado el anterior juego, sin embargo, en este caso los actos del anterior son consecuentes con los sucesos de este por lo que si eres de las personas que se casan con los personajes haciéndese a la idea de que son inmortales vas a odiarlo, este juego a diferencia diferencia de otras grandes entregas de la empresa como puede ser la saga de uncharted, no termina con un final feliz, este juego es mas real, hace entender que lo que nuestros personajes hacen o hicieron tiene consecuencias, es un golpe de realidad fuerte que puede herir susceptibilidades y aplastar los sentimientos de los mas delicados consumidores, es una gran estrategia en el mundo de los videojuegos que puede llevar a crear juegos con historias mas profundas y creíbles, un vuelco de paradigmas a todos los juegos en los que nuestros personajes arrasan con millones de npc`s sin pagar las consecuencias y un gran avance en cuestión de darle siempre al consumidor lo que quiere.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, i liked the graphics and gameplays. But i refer now about the history (most important)
    It had a good point of view of new characters like Abby, But people don't like her too much and that's a problem. Some characters like Jesse doesn't seem to be important to Ellie, his history isn't too deep. Finally, the end is not good. Ellie seems to be the antagonist, after all she was blinded by her anger and she needed to kill Abby to show us her importance in the history. That was a big change for Ellie. Did i mention about Ellie's fingers during the combat?, If u dont care if the end matters or not, just see Game of Thrones chapter 8    … 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]
