    A deep and thoughtful game that left me thinking for days about the gravity of the themes and ideas that underpin the story. Truly an exceptional example of context and empathy to very human problems stretched to extremes. It also looks and sounds incredible. To be harsh it did draw out the middle section slightly but the pay off at the end was more than worth it.

As a parent this game (especially the ending) hit me a lot harder than I initially expected, I'm not afraid to admit the game had me crying on multiple points. This is a true masterpiece in story telling and and world design. When we watch something like G.O.T or Breaking Bad we remember the ending and the journey that took us there. The last of us part 2 still has me thinking about the powerful ending and the journey starting from the last of us 1 that led me there. The questionable decisions the characters are forced to partake in and the consequences for their actions will forever be engraved in my memory and I don't plan on losing those memories for the rest of my life. This game is no longer just a game that I was personally more hyped for than anything (including cyberpunk), this is now a part of my life, a part of my history and it feels like a piece of me is missing whenever I finish and have to realise this may be the last we see of Ellies journey, our journey together.

The emotions that we the player are able to attach to certain characters are tossed back in forth in a battle of morals. I feel like this game forces me to question my own morals as more and more perspectives are tasked upon me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly enjoyed the sequel as much as the first one. Naughty Dog didn’t play it safe when writing the storyline. Yeah it was upsetting that Joel was killed and I wasn’t a fan of Abby through much of the game even while playing her. And yeah I might have let her die a time or ten when I didn’t have to, but it made me feel a little better. I watched as Abby tried to redeem herself by helping Yara and Lev. And I watched as Ellie became darker in her quest for revenge. The last fight between Ellie and Abby is downright brutal. In my opinion, Abby was the winner in the end. Abby and Lev leave the resort together while Ellie finds she she no home to go back to. The only reason I left a point off is because Naughty Dog should have put in a cut scene when Ellie successfully releases the first runner at the Resort to wreak havoc on the Rattlers. You can hear the screams, groans and gun shots, but it would have been better if you could have watched it all. I sincerely hope that Naughty Dog makes a part 3. If they do, I hope they don’t try to play it safe to try to appease some of the fans. By the way, anyone that thinks the whole lesbian and transgender business should have been left out of the game...grow up. You have no problem with characters getting hung, gutted, burned or riddled with bullets, but anything having to do with LGBT and you get squeamish. That says more about you then the game itself. Just except the fact that your a bigot and move on with your life. You should just play it safe and stick with nintendo games. Expand

    Lets start off simply. This game is split between people who love it for simply being another installment in the Last of Us and people who hate it for its story. I would like to say this: if you go into any game with any pre-determined thoughts, you will tend to have that experience regardless of how the game actually performs. As with anything in life.

    Lets start off simply. This game is split between people who love it for simply being another installment in the Last of Us and people who hate it for its story. I would like to say this: if you go into any game with any pre-determined thoughts, you will tend to have that experience regardless of how the game actually performs. As with anything in life.

    With that said, I saw the critic reviews of 10/10 and 5 stars, etc. I also saw the audience saying this game would be awful after the plot leaks. Those who read the leaks, learned of a big motive for the story, and instantly begun hating the game for it. This is the problem with spoilers. They ruin things for people.

    I was able to avoid the spoilers and went into this game expecting something good, but was weary and open-minded.

    I chose to write without spoilers, as the point of a review is to inform someone if they purchase something or not. This game is a purchase in my opinion. The sound and graphics are amazing, as to be expected with a Naughty Dog game. One thing a lot of reviews seem to miss, is the level of detail though. They do not go into the amount of detail. The world is very immersive and the music fits incredibly well. The combat is hard if you do not loot. The game attempts to will you into exploration and you find things you would not expect. Not weapons and ammo, but the stories of people who lived in the areas you loot. The benefits of this pay off, and you can get good gear.

    Even more so, the combat is very intense. It is violent. Very violent. However, that is the point of this game. To put emotion behind killing. Players are used to killing hundreds of enemies across multiple games without a thought to it. That is the point of this game and the message trying to be told. Violence, in any capacity, is violent. When you kill an enemy, others will cry out their name. Sometimes after landing a shot, the enemy collapses to the floor and screams until they die. This is very different from any game I have played. It tries to make you realize you are actually killing someone. Not some nobody, but somebody.

    The story is not perfect. There was no way to really make a sequel to the first game perfect, as the Last of Us was a perfect game and did not need a sequel. I understand that the Naughty Dog wanted to make a sequel, mainly for money, but also to simply make another game. The story is good for what it is. It is emotional, and those who say moments don't matter, are simply detached from the story.

    This game is best played in a setting where you can focus on it. It is best played when you are not trying to relax. It is more of an art project then a game for that matter. Last of Us Part II wants you to feel emotional during the game and tries desperately to achieve that. It works at times but also doesn't.

    The game attempts to show you the level of emotion behind people. It tries to show you that despite all the enemies you encounter, they all always have a reason for what they are doing. That, they might not actually be bad. The only real "bad guys" are the undead, and they aren't focused on as much for that reason.

    All in all, I think this game takes a lot to understand. You have to be willing to accept things for what they are and role with the game. Make a judgement on it once you are all the way through it, not at the start or middle, but at the complete end.

    This game is good and I would recommend it to others. It is a unique experience in gaming, and there is no other gaming experience like it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The visuals are beautiful it’s almost even impossible to think a PS4 could possibly offer us that kind of graphics. It’s just amazing. The storytelling is kinda overwhelming, not perfect but not completely sucks, being all honest here, we need to see the point of the story with a different point of view, it is not a cliche, sadly people always want the thing the way they prefer. It’s always good to be out of our comfort zone, to be amazed by another type of plot-twist. We are not forced to empathize with the characters (we are forced to play as them, and that’s a complete different thing) we decide to feel or not empathy. Whatever our decision is, the finale wants you to understand that you are not forced to forgive to heal. It matters how much you suffered, but you may choose what you think is better for you and in this case we decided to be different from the antagonist, we lost everything, just like her. There’s no point in succeed in something we will never be proud of. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Please translate if you have to, I try to be neutral with this opinion:

    Si andas detras de un juego que cumpla tus expectativas de un final feliz en donde estén todos tus personajes a salvó este juego no es para ti.
    El peor error que todos los jugadores están haciendo es que buscan de punto de comparación el primer juego, cosa que no tiene sentido pues ambas historias se desarrollan en escenarios diferentes con personajes diferentes y con objetivos diferentes. Al principio me fastidió jugar con Abby, pero después de un buen tiempo de Game play entiendes que los únicos que perecen o sufren las consecuencias son los acompañantes de los personajes principales.
    El juego es bueno a su manera, no diría que es el juego del año, pero no voy a mentir al decir que varias veces de tocaron momentos emocionales.
    El juego es totalmente realista! ELLIE NUNCA FUE UNA ASESINA COMO JOEL, y con esto me refiero a qué Joel mató con Tommy durante un tiempo para sobrevivir los 20 años, que fue vacío argumental que aun no se explica en el juego. Sin embargo Ellie nunca mato mas que fuese necesario, he aquí el porqué cometió tantos errores, ejemplo de esto fue cuando intentó de interrogar a Owen y a Mel, que no se comparan con los métodos de Joel, o solo hasta ver como Tommy si completó su interrogación al inicio del juego.
    Fue una aventura llena de emociones y de un ambiente nunca antes visto en el juego.
    Una lastima que algunos usuarios se rebajen al 0, daría un 5 como mínimo, pero darle un 0 sólo porqué murió tu personaje favorito es muestra todavía de un público inmaduro.

    Uno de los mejores juegos a los que he jugado en mi vida, sino el mejor. No es perfecto pero poco le falta. He llorado por unos personajes de ficción que transmiten más que muchas personas reales.

    Mucha gente ha rechazado el juego porque la protagonista es lesbiana (a lo cual no le dan ninguna importancia en el propio juego, por cierto) y han sacado a relucir su homofobia y su intolerancia con el diferente.

    La historia está mucho más elaborada que en la primera parte, los personajes más desarrollados y el mundo en el que transcurre mucho más desarrollado.

    La jugabilidad ha mejorado muchísimo, puedes afrontar los combates de muchas formas diferentes, de forma directa, con sigilo, poniendo trampas, mezclando varios estilos, usando el entorno a tu favor, usando a los infectados para que ataquen a otros... Muchas más posibilidades que en la primera parte.

    Es lamentable ver tanta crítica por temas homófobos y porque también muchos han querido apropiarse de la obra y decidir ellos el destino de los protagonistas, pero no, está obra es de Naugthy Dog y ellos deciden como acaba.

    Es una historia de venganza, de dolor, de perdón, de arrepentimiento, de pérdida y de soledad. Ninguna muerte es especial, ningún personaje es especial, ninguno es bueno ni malo, simplemente son humanos con sus virtudes y defectos que hacen lo que hacen en función de sus circunstancias. Es genial.

    Gracias Naugthy Dog..Thank you Naugthy Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. THIS GAME DOES NOT DESERVE THE HATE IT RECEIVES!

    I refused to look at any leaks to get a completely blind experience, and it was so worth it. People complain about the story but, in my opinion, it really wasn't bad. it was different than the first Last of Us experience, but it was still faithful to the raw, gritty story they tell. Some of the characters were rather bland in my opinion (Mel, Dina could've used more character progression too, especially for how important she was to Ellie), but Abby in particular was garbage in my eyes until i got to see other sides of her that you wouldn't expect to see. You learn that she is a human with complex emotions (not just some cold murderer), she's capable of being kind and showing compassion, you can tell she's changed by the end and so has Ellie. It was important to play as Abby, despite what people say, to understand her motivations behind killing Joel. The murder was not unfounded.(although it was rather uncharacteristic of Joel to let his guard down like that) This, I believe was done with the means of adding depth to the decision and let the player see insight into this new character. The story, like the first one shows growth in characters that make the Last of Us so special. The final fight between Ellie and Abby at the beach had me at the edge of my seat, I could feel my heart race in anticipation for the outcome. My only wish is that we could've seen more into the Seraphite's story and what they believe, how the war between them and the WLFs started...etc. Definitely wished Naughty Dog included one of their holy scripts for us to look at as an optional artifact (unless they did and i missed it.)

    You will not like this game if you're homophobic, or transphobic. However, contrary to many's misguided beliefs, the story is not about a "LGBT agenda" but is rather about revenge.

    Gameplay was fun too, was like the first game but improved. It sucked that when you switch over and play as Abby your skills and weapons reset but at the same time you get different stuff for your load-out which gives some more variety to the game.

    9/10 one point deducted due to some character blandness, and some out of character moments for Joel and honestly Ellie.

    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.
