    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hello There! Spoilers ahead
    Bruh bruh bruh bruh :D
    I liked the game, the graphics are very expressive, the game has had a great ego with violence, I love that the game is like this, a fight between two female characters in which, there is no definition for "protagonist or antagonist" . In any case, people complain about the story, to me, it is not that the story is not to my liking, but there are scenes that are somewhat excessive. I love the game, the graphics are so realistic and everything in general TOO SHOCKING, especially the ending between the Ellie and Abby fight, that feeling of the player when he doesn't know if there is revenge or mercy. Joel's death was the most shocking, angry and sad part of the game. Summary:

    The flashbacks did not fit me much, but the emotions and expressions of each scene were too good. This game is literally just as worthy as a movie, it deserved much more when it came to putting the puzzle pieces together a little more. But the history was cool.

    -Characters: 9 / 10 I love the characters, and even the supporting characters have a good role in the cutscenes. Most of them are good characters and the actors who star in them are very good at emphasizing and performing their roles as characters. I remember the emotional scene when Ellie realizes that Joel lied to her about the cure and Joel tells her the truth, making the Ellie actress play the role of her getting sentimental and angry at Joel. Although this score could be better
    Best characters 4 me: Ellie, Joel, Tommy, Abby and Dina. Dogs too
    The infected are 100% amazing.

    -(The NPC's are okay 8/10)

    Art: 10/10 amazing

    -Narrative: 8/10.

    -Graphics: 10/10 EPIC -
    Cutscenes: 7/10 May i said that cutscenes were cool, but in case... meh xd well, the animation and acting were nice. Good job.

    -Music: 9.5 / 10
    Knowing that Gustavo Santaolalla makes these great soundtracks ... nothing more. Although the music of the first part of the game is somewhat better. The sequel's music has good vibes and good effect sounds, the songs are great for the game's soundtrack. Loved the design audio.

    Accesibility: 10/10.

    -Experience: 9/10 It is as if I were in a movie, a lot of tension and impression, we were all surprised at all times. -Fight: 10/10 It is the best thing that they improved from the TLoU saga, the sequel stands out for the battles and fights that are PERFECT and very well carried out. Those hits, shots, movements, details in battles ... beastly. -My expectation of this game was much more than positive a few months ago, in the trailer there were a couple of XD image tricks, but I was already expecting something like this, that the trailer did not have much to do with the game, many people had thought that Dina would be lost and would die, however we all know that it was poor Joel ... although several of his actions were unethical ... and well, any NPC from the hospital that Joel killed was Abby's father, because Abby he finally finished off Joel with a golf club in front of his stepdaughter Ellie and brother Tommy. This game have got a lot of action and adventure.

    -Let Joel rest in peace, and hopefully he meets Sarah that she will be waiting for him ... 8 or 9/10 score, my honestly opinion.

    And that's because, THIS IS IMPORTANT = try to beat the demons, I mean, Ellie and Abby are pissed off and very angry inside. So much so that when they think of nothing or dream. It is not about revenge, but about dealing with your negative thoughts.

    Ellie: Think of Joel being tortured or looking dead, when she does bad things, it also implies that she gets madder and kills more. In the end she sees Joel with the guitar alive in an image flashback because she already knows that it is not necessary to kill Abby because she has already faced her demons. She doesn't need at the final chapter, the guitar or anything from Joel, she faced the reality and now she lost everything for any cost. In tlou 3, i hope she will be a better person.

    Abby: Joel killed her father. She had nightmares every night that she couldn't save her father. She killed Joel, thinking that if she killed him, she would have no more nightmares and ... ERROR, Abby had worse. Later she meets Lev, and since her group of "wolves" do not accept her, Abby will do everything to protect Lev, since Abby loses friends on the way, only Lev will be with her. From there she found someone and had no more nightmares.

    Beat Your demons. Do not revenge. You will be better.

    Everything it's not black or white, it could be grey.

    A lot of text, right?

    Well, i loved this game, even better than june 2020. Now, 2021 i would give a 9.
    Cuz' in 2020 i said 7 or 8
    But now a 9.

    Everything it's amazing.
    Waiting for tlou 2 multiplayer and HBO serie.

    Ellie it's the best

    Here is my review of The Last of Us Part II, a sequel to The Last of Us released 7 years earlier.

    Game Design:

    From a gameplay point of view, we find the solid foundations of the first game improved to provide a more complex experience. Hand-to-hand combat becomes technical, the infiltration phases completely change facets (thanks to the possibility of crawling) and the shooting sequences are always as involved. The game includes many new gameplay mechanics that add to the gaming experience.

    The level design is also very good. The levels are now more open (although remaining in a "corridor game") and invite you to explore. You never lose sight of your goal but you easily find yourself going the opposite way to explore all the nooks and crannies of the area and discover what it contains. And there are many things to discover: collectibles, small pieces of narration to trigger, craft resources, etc. ; all without ever getting bored. The presence of puzzles that are neither too hard nor too complex enhance the expertise of Naughty Dog in terms of level design.

    Graphics:

    Graphically, the game is of course magnificent. We are close to photorealism and we are sometimes surprised to be "only" in front of a video game as the world created and its details are glaring in realism. The animations of the characters and their reactions according to the actions of the player make them "real".

    Sound Design

    Playing is an auditory orgasm, whether for sound effects or voice acting.

    As with The Last of Us, the game benefits from the music of Gustavo Santaolalla which, although discreet, is always there when it is needed.

    Scenario (without spoilers)

    Naughty Dog has always had great scriptwriting ambitions, and The Last of Us Part 2 proves it once again.

    The story is poignant from start to finish, but it is also surprising. For 7 years and the thousands of possible theories concerning this sequel, it would have been difficult to think that the scenario would take such a turn. Do not start the game imagining that you will have the perfect scenario that you had imagined. This will not be the case. Launch the game to have the pleasure of discovering something new.

    Prepare to be shocked, intrigued, moved, angry, happy, thoughtful but never disappointed. It is a story which does not spare the player, but which is worth seeing (and played).

    Conclusion:

    The Last os Us Part 2 is the worthy successor of the first opus. It even hits harder than its predecessor for the reasons mentioned above. Naughty Dog understood what worked best in The Last of Us and sublimated it in Part II. A unique and rare experience that takes the quality of the video game industry up a notch.

    And since it must be given a rating: 9/10 (because no game is and will never be 100% perfect)

I think the biggest criticisms and controversies could've been avoided if naughty dog had changed the formula and allowed for player choice so your story would depend on what you are as a person. Whether you like the story or not definitely depends on your personality and your emotions at the time. However, regardless of if you agree with the character choices this game definitely makes you think about the consequences and the themes explored. It loses a point simply because of the pacing issue near the end. Expand

    So I have to say it was not that was i was expecting, it was even better. I know Joels dead at the beginning was **** up but what did u guys expect a "LAST OF US" just with a grown up Ellie. Lets be honest. So lets move on, the new character, Abby well she is a pretty interesting character, her story is pretty interesting and overall how she deals with the lost of all her loved onesSo I have to say it was not that was i was expecting, it was even better. I know Joels dead at the beginning was **** up but what did u guys expect a "LAST OF US" just with a grown up Ellie. Lets be honest. So lets move on, the new character, Abby well she is a pretty interesting character, her story is pretty interesting and overall how she deals with the lost of all her loved ones (except from Joel), she is a lot like Ellie. She wants revenge at any cost, but only because this little scar girl, she finally sees that revenge will not bring back her loved ones, she can handle her rage and live on. Not like Ellie she destroys everything she loves just because of revenge, and when she relies that, it is already to late, she lost everyone, everything. I think that's a great statement even in real life. Its kinda disgusting that so many of you "FANBOYS/GIRLS" rate this game so much just because Joel died. Life is almost never a happy end, and that game shows that perfectly. As much as we all love Joel, he did terrible things , just like Ellie, they only cared about them selves and their loved ones. And if i read this bad reviews it pretty clear that their are almost no reasons explained why the game is "that bad", most of this bad reviews just say "the story is **** yes well but why is it **** and "the game is horrible" but why is it horrible. This kinda Fanboys/girls are no fans of this series from my point of view, they just wanted a "Last of Us" where Joel and Ellie survive together, maybe a new doc who can make a vaccine but gets killed....., i think u guys know what i mean. The game was a success, the developer tried something risky and i love that. Many characters died in this game but i think that's kinda normal in post apocalyptic world with zombies all over the place. To finish that review off, i recommend you guys give the game a chance its pretty good. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not terrible. People bombing it because the writers/creators didn't do what the audience wanted. Leaks aside, we all knew it was something to do with Joel. Or Dina. Or Tommy even. It has amazing visuals, music and gameplay. Stays true to the original and somehow makes it feel new. It is a long game. Especially if you're going for 100%. I think I felt the length of this game because it's not that open world. I put 80 hours or so into RDR2 and it didn't feel like it.
    As a gay person, I did like the representation. Everyone complaining about the gay "pandering" needs help. There is no lack of straight people so I don't know why they're mad. Unfortunately you do have to play as Abby. I get what they're doing. You have to see how Joel's choice affected other people. You never stop and think about who he actually killed. Did that doctor have a family? Was he someone's father, husband? The end is bittersweet. It's open to interpretation. They cycle stopped when she let Abby go with Lev and she just let go of everything. No heros, no villains. Nobody wins in this world. I chose to believe Ellie heads for Jackson to get Dina back and finally move on.

    I found the story to be well written, shocking, and emotional, with an EXTREMELY satisfying and mature conclusion that provides an excellent character arc for Ellie's story. As for the gameplay, I found it to be extremely rewarding and fun, with some of the best stealth combat I have seen for a very long time. Graphically, the game is stunning, with every single environment being gorgeous to look at, and at times, almost photo-realistic.

    My problems with the game were very few. Only experiencing one or two full on glitches throughout the game (clipping into walls), one or two seemingly broken tree textures, and a couple of wonky hit boxes on trees and fences blocking shots that should have hit. Were I to be forced to criticise the story, my only real suggestion would be to move some of the flashback sequences to the start of the game to provide some players a more streamlined bridge between the first and second games, and slightly more closure, although personally, I didn't find any fault with the ordering of the game.

    Overall, I think The Last of Us 2 is a brilliant game with an extremely satisfying story, interesting characters, fun and rewarding gameplay, and absolutely stunning graphics. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was nothing short of fantastic

    The people who are upset i would say it is somewhat justified and i can understand, however this game really does not deserve the hate it gets in my opinion. Many people seem to be upset about Joel's death. I was too. He dies very early on and I feel he deserved better. However Joel was a bad man, who did many bad things in the first game alone, let alone what took place in the 20 years between the prologue and the main game itself. To put it bluntly, he kinda had it coming.

    The graphics were amazing. Even on the base PS4 i was stunned at how good it looked. Nothing much more to say about that.

    With the story, It felt very strange to play as Ellie for so long and then suddenly go back to the start of Seattle from Abby's POV. Not saying i didn't enjoy it or anything, I very much enjoyed seeing the events from her point of view and learning more about her. Also, she's jacked to all hell and that's a plus in my book.

    Ellie and Dina's relationship is good. It is not **** lesbianism. They feel like a real couple who care deeply for each other

    I cannot speak for trans people, however imo it seems they handled the trans character very well. It is very clear they are a real person with hopes and dreams and not an empty plot point. The only time he is deadnamed is a couple times by enemies that usually die very shortly after, and i think once by his mother. He is never deadnamed by any one of the main characters and everyone is completely fine with it, that being said however, he suffers-

    Everyone suffers, this game is not at all happy at all. There are not many laughs to be had, this game is sad as **** The enemies have names and that includes dogs, and people care when their friend dies. No game has come close to making me cry as many times as i did while playing this. I finished it about a week ago and i still feel depressed from the game, if you don't like the idea of being sad all the time i would not recommend getting it, atleast not yet

    The gameplay was unreal, the movement felt fluid yet clumsy and realistic, and combat is unrivaled. Without auto aim turned on i felt very anxious when trying to get shots off but every time an enemy rounded the corner and I immediately aimed and popped them in the head i can't accurately describe how odd it felt. Reminds me of a part in TLOU 1 when Ellie saves Joel and says "Damn I shot the hell outta that guy huh?"

    Would and will play again after i mentally recover lmao. It honestly amazes me that a video game could make me feel the way this one did and i don't think another game will even come close. The only reason i'm not giving it a 10/10 is because nothing is ever perfect. This game is fantastic, it has flaws, and i hated that Joel died after 3 mins of screen time and i don't think even the flashbacks can redeem that. But this game is far better than most people are making it out to be. Game of the Year in my opinion

El juego me gustó mucho, es increible en todo, sólo hubieron algunas cosas que no me gustaron, en el trailer te muestran escenas falsas con Joel de la edad del año en el que se desarrolla el juego, pero al hacer eso hacen que no te tomes en serio la muerte de Joel. Y creo que la cosa era que empatices con Ellie por la muerte de Joel y quieras vengarte junto a ella pero las escenas falsas hacen que creas de que Joel volvera para que al final no sea así. Lo otro es que no me gustó la manera en la que mataron a Joel, entiendo que haya sido necesario para la trama pero por mi parte creo que lo pudieron haber hecho algo diferente y más digno creo yo.
    Por el resto no hay ningun problema,el juego me encantó es muy bueno en todo tipo de sentidos, es una experiencia que tienen que probar si o si.

The gameplay is fantastic, and the story was extremely immersive. The ending and game as a whole had me on an emotional rollercoaster for a week, and I absolutely love it. The game is meant to get you angry at Abby but then show the other side of the story. Joel was a good person; who has done awful things. Joel's death was justified as he killed Abby's father and so many more innocent people. The only complaint I have is how Naughty Dog advertised the game as something it wasn't, which is a Joel & Ellie adventure. I think this game is fantastic and an extremely emotional experience for those who enjoyed the first game. 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]
