    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is simply a masterpiece. I know so many people will attack the story, but this story is the only way to justify the Part II's launch. I liked the way this game shows how a life can be ephemeral. It's an apocalypse. There are no heroes or villains. We are all heroes of our own stories. I think this is the main message that Neil Druckmann wanna send to each one that plays this game.… Expand

    Todos sabíamos sobre un evento traumático, es algo que se nos viene mostrando desde los trailers, tenía que ser algo impactante, algo que te dejara un mal sabor en la boca y lo consiguieron. El hecho de que controláramos a un personaje nuevo jugable se me hizo un poco difícil tener una afinación con éste pero lo conseguí de alguna manera. El gameplay, para que decir, es perfecto, los enfrentamientos son demasiado buenos y te dejan enganchado. Diría que tenía las expectativas demasiado altas pero no me decepcionó, una historia cruel y espontánea que me dejó satisfecho, me encantó.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So this game is good and defintely not the 0/10 fans are giving out of frustration which i understand, but its just not right and not objective constructive critisism. Everything under a 5/10 is just not fair. The graphics and environments are beautiful. Voice acting, cutscene and facial aninmations are great and are very high quality, ive nevers seen something like this in a video game. Gameplay even tho it was only very slightly improved since 2013 was also good and i had a lot of fun throughout the game (NPCs were kinda lacking tho). The ingame animation as well as the character models are also stunning, sound design and weather effects are equaly good.
    Story: The fact that the main characters are a lesbian and a masculine bodybuilder female dont change a single thing ( I think a hetero relationship might have been even more annoying), but sometimes i had the feeling that it was more about Ellies love life instead of her revenge and mainly at the beginning killed the serious atmosphere and took the spotlight of Ellies sorrow over Joels death. Which btw was very predictable imo (when it was first announced that it was about Ellies revenge my first guess was that Joel is killed by fireflies). The flashbacks and cutscenes are nice but they could have delivered this agenda otherwise without spitting in our faces after waiting 7 years and paying 70 dollars. It was written pretty badly with a lot of predictability, plot holes and poor character choices. Also trying to justify Abby killing Joel with her story didnt work (I stll wish Abby a very slow and painful death) and just stretched the game a lot which has pacing issues. Character development is weird (unnatural) to non existent. Having to fight Ellie and hit her was painful (not in a good way) and i couldnt take that part of the game serious. Dont forget about the unnecessary forgetable characters like Mel and the mexican guy (i even forgot his name). All in all storywise the sequel only damaged the franchise and its characters not even coming close to tlou 1. If u unlike me only bought tlou2 because of the very unsatisfying story i guess it only deserves a 3-5/10.    … Expand

    Last of Us Part 2 said trans rights!

    Honestly, all the incels giving this game bad reviews need to grow up. Y’all are just angry because not only do we have a strong female lead who is a member of the LGBT community, but we’ve got a second female lead who is a member of the CROSSFIT COMMUNITY. They can’t relate to a lesbian or drool over a woman that’s wider than a doorframe. So they stay mad. Any person that says the characters are unlikeable or aren’t dynamic clearly must have the personality of a lobster, and that’s a huge disservice to lobsters. The characters are all so diverse, real, and relatable. But you know, the liberal SJW agenda is coming for your games. Watch out. I love this game and everything about it and have not been able to think about anything else for 2 weeks straight. I’m emotionally distraught by how beautiful this game it.    … Expand

    While Joel did act to save someone he loved, he also doomed the human species to a continuing apocalypse, and the brutal consequences of that decision are rendered with exceeding credibility in this daring masterpiece.

    While many will never be able to forgive Abby for the actions she takes, this game's portrayal of her and the rest of it's characters as nothing more or less than human is worthy of respect.    … Expand

    A good story doesn't pander to its listeners -- it depicts something real and meaningful. Through all of the seemingly impossible twists and turns, every decision is justified and deeply rooted in the characters' experiences. This is the equivalent of classic literature. This is the hard truth that people need to experience. These are the lessons we need to learn. We need more games like this, but for now Naughty Dog has ventured into the deep unknown and delivered to us something that is, truly, one of a kind.    … Expand

    Music: 9/10 - Fantastic music, every moment was appropriately scored, and boy did it evoke some feelings
    Voice acting (not counted toward final score): 10/10 - Absolutely top notch. I was blown away by all performances in this regard. Well done, ND.
    Pacing: 6/10 - I was not happy with how brutally long some moments were, and it did feel unnecessary many times.
    Story: 8/10 - A believable tale about the consequences of Joel's actions and what PTSD can do to someone. Could have been better, but still great.

    Final score: 8.4/10 - an enjoyable game in almost every aspect.

    Because I believe in justice, to offset all the absoiutely ridiculous 0/10 scores, I will be scoring this a 10/10 here. There is no universe where this game is a 0/10, so we can confidently say those are all nonsense. However, there are arguments to be made that it is a 10/10, so I will once again say, my score is 8.4, but I am putting 10/10 here anyway.    … Expand

La jugabilidad y los gráficos no son la gran maravilla pero son descentes y cumplen su función el problema viene en el gameplay que en muchas ocasiones llega a ser tedioso y repetitivo en cuanto a la narrativa no es muy rescatable teniendo muchas incongruencias en el desarrollo de los personajes como el de Joel que paso de ser una persona que desconfiaba de todo el mundo a confíar en un grupo de desconocidos armados o Ellie que de un momento a otro olvida su venganza por el otro lado el juego también intenta que simpátices con el personaje de abby metiendo situaciones convenientes en donde por medio de un patético intento de lastima el juego intenta desesperadamente que llegues a sentir empatia por ella pero esto solo logra incomodar al jugador que solo espera que su tiempo con ella termine pronto, además tenemos personajes planos y unidimensionales como Dina que sólo está ahí para recordarte que es la novia de Ellie sumado a eso tenemos muerte patéticas como las de Joel o jesee en donde se excusan de ser realistas y crudos para tapar la pobre narrativa que este juego posee, por último el final es desastroso luego de que Ellie se pasara medio juego matando sin remordimiento todas las personas que se le pusieran en frente cuando esta a punto de culminar su venganza de un momento a otro cambia de parecer por medio de un maldito flash-back dando como resultado un final forzado e incongruente con las acciones de Ellie.

    I want to start with what I did enjoy from this game. The gameplay is similar in many aspects to the first game but it is definitely improved overall. Being able to go prone to hide in grass and jump down from a high platform to take down an enemy from below are great additions to stealth and combat. Animations look very smooth and it is satisfying to watch the brutal take downs. TheI want to start with what I did enjoy from this game.

Animations look very smooth and it is satisfying to watch the brutal take downs. The visuals in this game are absolutely beautiful and some of the best graphics on the PS4.

    However, these get overshadowed by the game's story. This game's story and characters are very poor. I simply did not care for many of the main characters in this game. The new characters that were introduced are uninteresting and characters brought back from the last game don't act like themselves. This game's story is far from perfect, with an intro that will leave a bad taste in your mouth for the rest of the game and an unsatisfying ending. During my playthrough I thought I was near the end of the game and I was ready for it to end only to find out I was just half way through the game.The halfway point of the game is what made me really lose interest, and I imagine many other people feel the same way.

    The game isn't the worst game ever made by any means, and i don't think it deserves a score of 0/10, but it's poor story and characters doesn't make it a masterpiece that deserves a 10/10. The game has fun combat and stealth mechanics along with stunning visuals, but a game that is very plot-driven needs to have a good plot. If you decide to buy this game I recommend playing for the gameplay and not the story.    … Expand

    This is a thoroughly emotional game. It takes the player through all emotions in ways that one may or may not agree with. It’s a 25hr journey worth taking, but it’s a very human journey, scars and all. It’s brutal, unforgiving and full of heart. I wouldn’t call it a sequel, but a continuation.

    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.
