    This game is not bad actually part 2 is good. if you play until end you gonna like it. However story little problem for me on the other hand first and second chapter are boring but then going to good. Enemy.place,shooting are amazing. When you reach final you will see very epic scenes and that’s enogh for me. Good and diffrent you should play when you catch discount.

    while the game definitely has narrative problems and some of the boldest choices it makes ultimately do not pay off, i ended up finishing the game with more positive the negative.
    the production of the story itself the performances , combat and cut scene animation and graphics are practically unrivaled in the console space and the combat and traversal feels great and raw.

    and while yes the story is lesser then it's predecessor, there still intense, sad, funny and sweet moments all throughout that make the game a worthwhile experience overall.    … Expand

    The graphics and scenery are beautiful, a lot has obviously went into that.

    The game has similar gameplay to the first TLOU, which imo is a bit clunky, hard to get acurate targetted shots in.

    The storyline..well that is different, it's very slow and unnessessary at times. And why oh why did they have to put a ball and chain around your charactwr

JUST to be clear, the people who worked on the game did great except the direction or stoyboard and pacing of this, abbys story entirely imo could of been left out. it just didnt feel right to have her in it. NOT to say its the VA and the production team fault. it was the directions overall. the game was great to play. and joel isnt a dummy even though i feel joel would have a lot of enemies. but that part with joel wasnt the way to go tbh. the game is beautiful, direction/story needed work. it was in production too long for it to be so flawed… Expand

    From an objective point of view the game is a smooth 10/10 from the gameplay, the graphics, the sound as well as the characters. There is little room for other opinions, I think.

    The story is...something else. I didn't like the story here and there unconditionally, also the ending left me rather empty. Still, it has to be said that I really enjoy the game and I think that's what matters. If you didn't like the story here and there and therefore you think the game deserves 0 points, that's something you have to decide for yourself.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi so this is my first ever review and I can honestly say that I loved this game everything about it had me hooked from the griping emotional roller coaster of a story to the greatly intuitive controls.
    In retrospect of the story I'm not 100% happy with the direction you took especially with the killing of joel but after going through my paces with the game I have come round to the idea and can see the reason why you took the direction that you did and I'm glad that I stuck with it too the end this is coming from someone who fell in love with joel from day 1 and a person who spent 40 different play throughs just spending time with my favourite ever characters to come out of a video game.

    With this all said I hope that Naughty Dog doesn't take the hate to heart and listens to the points given by them and there more positive fans feedback and moves on to still make great games for us to enjoy I'm personally super happy with The Last OF US 2 and can't wait to see where Naughty Dog goes in the future.

    Much love a fan.    … Expand

    The general gameplay is better, combat is more fluid, AI is a bit better, though still easily exploitable especially with lying in the grass. I hated the dogs, but that is more because I do not enjoy graphically killing dogs in video games.

    I also enjoyed the story, I liked the way they told it, and I understand why it upset many people. Without spoiling anything it is a rather generic revenge story, which does not have many surprises but has some holes. I admire Naughty Dog how they are able to convey emotion with their games, and I think they were guessing that this story and the way they told it would lead to something like this.

    I think this game became a victim of the hype train, many were expecting it would both cure COVID and eliminate world hunger once it comes out, but it did not. It was just a good game. If you for some reason get to read this I would say wait for a sale and play the game yourself.    … Expand

    I know Joel's death wasn't good intro for game .
    But we need it.
    Because he was to old . Before the virus he was around 31-32 after Sarah's death scene. The game said 20 years later. And part 2 is 4 years after part 1. Gamplay was amazing you can't get tired of it. It's always show new things.
    But some parts of game was to long for example. Abbys part was little to long

You know that already, monsters feel like dummies on loop patrol every 15 seconds, every area look way suspicious and too much designed to feel real. Its just the characters, the story, the length of their journey that is worth playing through and this is an awesome ps4 exclusive. Im not looking forward for a last of us part 3 though... They need to augment their sens of dread to have an intense game. Soundtrack this time was forgettable.… Expand

    if people cannot make sense why.. Well happy you, you lived a nice life until now.


    Why do I give 8 points and no 10?

    Well the game play is very repetitive and I found it at some parts a bit too obvious what happened. Graphics also were nice but on PS4 pro I had several streaming objects that were slowly loading and the film grain made me crazy at the beginning It a 89 :)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Escribo este análisis dejando claro que The Last of Us me parece uno de los mejores juegos que he tenido el gusto de disfrutar en toda mi vida, una bestia.

    Ahora bien, no vengo a valorar eso, si no The Last of Us parte 2 o la continuación de historia que posiblemente a MI como jugador no me hacía falta ver, voy a intentar exponer por separado sus partes:

    - Narrativa / Historia: La forma de interconectar las historias que van sucediendo a través del juego me gusta, mucho de hecho, el problema viene en como empieza, con la decisión de Joel en el final del primer juego, no querer sacrificar a Ellie en favor de la humanidad y por supuesto lo que la mayoría de los que han sentido la historia entienden a Joel, no digo que hubiera sido lo correcto, si no si simplemente entedemos su decisión. Por supuesto la cosa comienza con que el personaje ""villano"", Abby, no aparece en el primer juego y SORPRESA, es la hija del cirujano que iba a operar a Ellie, si ya para querer contar una 2º parte necesitas introducir SI O SI un personaje del que no se sabe nada en el 1º juego para que esta continuación tenga sentido (o al menos asi lo creían en Naughty Dog) pues va por mal camino, muy malo.
    Te gusta Joel? Simpatizas con el? Pues cojonudo, le van a estampar la cabeza nada más empezar el juego de forma rastrera y asquerosa mientras a su vez ayudó hacía 10 minutos a la persona que lo mata, a mi esta decisión no me gusta, pero no es el problema, el problema es que como jugador te van a guiar por ese camino desde el principio y no vas a poder decidir nada.
    Diréis, "ostras en el primer juego cuando rescatas a Ellie no lo decides tú", cierto, pero eso pasa al final y donde un personaje que has llevado TODO el juego y lo ha PERDIDO TODO sientes que se merece tomar esa decisión, en cambio aquí aparece alguien queriendo vengarse que no conoces de nada, se venga y tú vas como un loco a querer devolvérsela, pues no también, el juego frenará y frenará hasta que te lleve la inercia más que la propia ira, el motivo? La venganza está mal y pierdes más de lo que ganas, pero es que eso ya lo tienes claro en un principio y que no todos los grupos que salen en el juego son o han sido malos siempre, eso también lo sabemos, lo que no podemos es pretender llevar un objetivo en el juego muy claro todo el rato, y luego ni te den la opción de elegir.
    Da esa sensación de que Ellie merece o una de 2, vivir con la muerte de Joel y llevarlo como pueda, o matar a Abby y de nuevo, vivir con la muerte de Joel y con su venganza, en mi caso lo tengo claro, final cuando vas a la granja por primera vez, y decidir si quedarte o no, o que sencillamente se quede y ya está, pero irse, no consumar su venganza y simplemente volver para ver que ha perdido más todavía, Ellie no merece un final así y Joel no merece un principio de 2º parte así.

    - Visualmente: Una bestialidad, lo mejor que se ha hecho en este apartado (con diferencia) en esta consola negra como el azabache, pasemos a lo siguiente.

    - Banda sonora: No puedo entrar mucho en detalle ya que desconozco bastante del tema, pero tengo que decir que a pesar de intentar introducirla más en este juego, la he notado más potente, más dura de escuchar en el 1º juego, te ponía los pelos de punta lo bien que la cuadraban en esos momentos concretos, en este no he llegado a tener esa sensación.

    - Jugabilidad: Es el mismo The Last of Us de hace 7 años con pequeñas mejoras, pero en esencia lo mismo, en 2013 estaba muy bien, ahora quizás con las 20 pico horas que dura el juego se hace un poco "limitado" debido a que hay MUCHOS más enfrentamientos.

    Conclusión - Merece el logo de obra maestra que estoy viendo por ahí? Ni de lejos, para mi, de 7,5 si le tuviera que poner una nota y no dejo de pensar que si simplemente el juego fuera de Abby, su grupo y las historias que desarrolla con ellos pues el juego me hubiera gustado más porque tienen su propia trama aparte pero da la sensación de que los protagonistas del primero tenían que salir si o si, al menos a mi me ha pasado eso.
    Me parece un mal juego? Para nada, me lo he pasado de carrerilla este fin de semana, lo he gozado y lo volveré a pasar seguro pero esa carga que traía de lo bueno que fue en su momento The Last of Us pues se hace muy pesada de aguantar para esta 2º parte y me apena decirlo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For context, I played this game around a month ago and I didn't even particularly want to play this game this year but with all the negative opinions of this game, I just had to play it.

    Story (Spoiler Free)
    (I'll tell you when I'm about to talk about other aspects of the game)

    The first hour or so with this game is honestly perfect and feels like it is about to set up a perfect sequel to the first game but it soon strays from this path to make a different story, a potentially good story but the writing falls a little flat and character relationships feel like they're ripped out of a soap drama which is tone-deaf to what the plot really should have set out to accomplish.

    Looking at characters from the soap drama perspective it becomes clear that Neil Druckman wanted to subvert expectations in a more realistic and grounded sort of way which can make the story appear to be disingenuous to itself and what has come before often leaving behind great characters but rarely great dialogue between them and very little sense of any meaningful relationship between them.

    But occasionally the game does reach the same heights of the original on a few levels, if you asked me how much of the game reached the heights of the first game I'd say round it to 1/3rd.

    Is the story bad? no. but a lot of the foundations are struggling to hold it up and coming off of the back of The Last of Us 1 and Uncharted 4 it's a little disappointing that the story doesn't hold up.

    It's neither good nor bad.

    Graphically the game is beautiful, there's nothing really to say here, the cinematography is incredible and has its own style.

    The gameplay is top tier, a lot like the first game in that it's not deep but not overly simple, not to say it plays similar to the first but in the Survival Horror genre of gaming no other game tops this in terms of how polished the core mechanics are and I shouldn't have to explain, after all, it is a Naughty Dog Game.

    My Score: 8/10

    (Potential Spoilers)

    Honestly, it's kinda stupid how people take something so ridiculous as having a favorite character and trying their best to ensure that a particular character is the holy grail of the series, I feel like I've played many games where a particular character dies in s similar fashion where people haven't taken it so personally (not to insinuate that anybody should take the death of a particular character personally at all) and I find this whole "THE GAME IS BAD CUZ X, Y, Z CHARACTER DIES" argument immature and honestly dumb, the game has flaws but that isn't one of them, it's evidence of a deeper problem that the story faces and that is kinda mid-tier character writing and conflicting tonality. If you're on the fence wait a year until this game is cheaper or don't rush to play it, play it in your own time and on your own morals.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Enjoyed the majority of this game including the visuals, sound, gameplay, characters and story. The first major plot point was a shock which I felt mixed about and perhaps even disappointed in initially. However it was effective in making the player invested in the story and caring about the following events, eventually leading to feeling accepting of this first plot point despite it not being the direction I hoped for. The first 18-20 hours of the game I really enjoyed and wanted to keep pushing forward to find out how things will play out. I particularly enjoyed some of the story telling methods during this, including flashback scenes which revealed some plot points relevant to the present day story. A few charming moments between characters which is typical of Naughty Dog games and offered some levity in an otherwise bleak and brutal in-game world.


    There is a section which occurs around the 17-18 hour mark where there’s a shift in how the game plays out. Initially I really enjoyed this and it offered an another insight to the overall plot however felt this went on longer than I personally wanted. I understand the purpose of this section but it felt too dragged out for me.

    I have mixed feelings about the end however I appreciate what the purpose of it is. My biggest problem with this is due to having a strong feeling of attachment to the original characters and wanting things to work out in their favour. This isn’t a sign of a bad game or story but a sign of attachment to the characters I loved from the original. I feel like if this was the first instalment I would’ve been much more inclined to feel more satisfied with the story.

    I think overall it is an amazing game but it did take risks with it’s direction that go against the grain. This is always likely to cause fans of the original to either feel mixed or disappointed. If I were to change anything it would be to have more focus on the aspects I mentioned which made the first 17 or so hours so enjoyable and cut back on the section I mentioned felt too dragged out. I also want to mention I think it’s unfair to say the game is pushing a political agenda - LGBT characters feel authentic and adds to their character or story arc. I didn’t feel forced or anything other than having a variety of characters in the world. I think it’s fair to say that not everyone will be pleased with the story but I really enjoyed my experience with the game and even though some aspects weren’t fully what I wanted, I appreciate their purpose. The game is very dark and brutal in its theme which means not everyone will feel satisfied as most stories have a resolve or “happy ending”. As much as I would’ve liked it to steer in a direction that is more typical of game or film stories, I feel that it is at least true to the world of The Last of Us and is a bold move to deviate from expectations.

    Despite having a variety of mixed emotions and thoughts on The Last it Us Part II, I did enjoy the game overall and will definitely play it again. I’d recommend others to give it a chance to experience it for theirselves.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decided to try it out, even after all that backlash this game received, my review is from playing it on my PS5, also a disclaimer, I never played the first game because of economy issues of mine that I couldn't afford a PS4 console till 2018, but saw the entire gameplay/story cutscenes through YouTube and I LOVED the story.

    So on the actual game now, the game when it comes to graphics, music, visuals, textures, sound, gameplay control, and with the PS5 update to up the frame to 60, this was a top tier development, as for the story the way they introduced Abby and how early Joel died in this game was a letdown for me, I don't mind the story at all, but the execution of the story is what made me not give a damn about playing as Abby, so I set it at the lowest difficulty just for her so I can speedrun her story.

    But overall despite Abby's story, I enjoyed this game, but if they don't come up with new ideas in terms of gameplay because it's the same as part 1 I heard, then I might not bother with part 3, if they make one.    … Expand

    Its a bit too long and that's its major flaw. It looks spectacular, in my opinion the motion capture and acting are the best in the business and level design is goddamn good. The gunplay is very satisfying and feels great.
    The story i don't agree with but i respect the balls to do it. I really do. I feel so bad for Joel and i cried my ass out at the last scene in the game. It hit me right in the feels and will always be in my memory as one of the saddest games i have played.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 es un gran juego. No es un juego de matrícula de honor, pero tampoco es el destrozo que muchos afirman que es. A nivel jugable y técnico es una virgería como pocas ha habido; es simplemente espectacular.

    Ya lo grueso creo que puede venir en lo referente a su historia. En su conjunto, la idea y la historia son muy interesantes. Pero es demasiado largo. Sobra mucho contenido. Hay un problema muy grave llegada la mitad del juego, todos sabemos a qué me refiero, que rompe la narrativa en mil pedazos. Pero la destroza hasta matarla. El cambio de rol del jugador de Ellie a Abby no es lo incorrecto; lo incorrecto es hacerlo en mitad de un clímax. Todo lo construido hasta entonces queda barrido, y es un empezar de nuevo, esta vez con un personaje con el que te están forzando a empatizar (y bueno, lo consiguen). Ya en el epílogo la cosa empieza a recomponerse (epílogo que para mí es lo MEJOR del juego). Y llega ese final que a muchos no les agrada.

    Y creo que esto es, muy sinceramente, porque no han entendido absolutamente nada. Ellie no es Joel. Ellie es una persona que duda. Duda muchísimo. Pero el mundo en el que vive la limita, y o actúa, o muere. No hay más. Pero es un personaje que se replantea cosas. Joel no es así, Joel habría hecho lo que hay que hacer, sin miramientos, porque eso es lo que es y lo que hace. Entonces... No se puede esperar que un personaje actúe como lo que no es aunque tú, querido jugador, sea lo que quieres.

    La historia de Abby tarda en coger forma. Muchas horas. Y a mí personalmente me estaba dando todo igual, pero conforme va avanzando terminas empatizando. ¡Y es que, sorpresa! La historia de Abby y la de Ellie son iguales. La pérdida de figuras paternas cuyo coste emocional y social es muy elevado. Abby la deja marchar. Ellie la deja marchar. El duelo final no consiste en matar, eso no es lo que Ellie quiere al final. Ella demuestra que podía ganar. Que podía derrotar a Abby después de haber sido derrotada en el teatro. Y lo consigue. Vence a Abby. Y la deja marchar como ella la dejó irse en el teatro. Son las mismas historias desde distintos puntos de vista. La muerte no le iba a traer ninguna satisfacción a Ellie, pero sí la idea de la victoria, que es muy distinta.

    Por otro lado, los desarrolladores y creadores no responden ni tienen por qué hacerlo ante los lloros y los llantos de un grupo de delicados ofendiditos. Si no te gusta, lo revendes, o no lo vuelvas a jugar. Pero no exigas un cambio de final. ¿Quién eres tú, querido espectador, para decirle a alguien qué decisión tienen que tomar los personajes? Si quieres contar historias, hazlo, pero las historias de otros creadores son lo que son y punto.

    Me reitero en que es un videojuego con algunos peros muy grandes. Repito que el cambio de perspectiva en mitad de un clímax es demasiado rompedor, en el mal sentido, y puede arruinar la experiencia. A mí casi me la arruina, de hecho. En este aspecto entiendo las quejas y entiendo la casi unanimidad que existe. Es comprensible. Imagínate que juegas a Snake Eater. Te pegas todo el videojuego de un lado a otro asesinando a la Unidad Cobra para ir a por The Boss y Volgin. Y cuando llegas al enfrentamiento final, a ese duelo épico entre Snake y The Boss, de repente se corta el juego y lo vuelves a experimentar desde la perspectiva de The Boss solo para "entenderla". Esto es tremendamente errado. Coge cualquier clímax de cualquier videojuego o película y haz el ejemplo y lo entenderás.

    Pero pese a ello, en conjunto la idea del guion, su desarrollo y su conclusión son muy buenas. No son para nada malas, el problema es que están estirados hasta la saciedad. Demasiado.

    Hay que saber también diferenciar entre dos tipos de videojuegos: los puramente jugables y las historias. Porque parece que más de uno, y hablo de la prensa, se ha olvidado de esto. Hay juegos, tipo Mario Bros. Tekken, Smash Bros., Kirby... que son puramente JUEGO. Es jugabilidad, es entretenimiento. La obra solo quiere que pases un rato agradable. Y después están las HISTORIAS, aquellos videojuegos que, como ficción, pretenden transmitir algo. Una idea, un mensaje. Ejemplos los hay a patadas: Metal Gear Solid, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest... Y como tal hay que evaluar ambos aspectos en conjunto. En un juego de historia esta no puede estar desanclada de la jugabilidad, porque es parte del producto final. Por tanto no entiendo todos los dieces de prensa a este videojuego. Sí, jugable y técnicamente son DE DIEZ Y MÁS. ¿Pero la historia? No. Su ejecución es muy torpe por momentos, aunque en conjunto funcione. Y parece que esto se le ha olvidado a practicamente todo el sector de la prensa del videojuego. Si quieren evaluar lo divertido que es un videojuego de jugar pues que analicen un Kirby o un Mario, que es de lo que van. Pero si van a un videojuego con un trasfondo y un mensaje... Hay que saber qué se está evaluando.    … Expand

    I gotta say... it's a really good game, but the 2nd half drags a lot. It picks up by the ending sections of the game but the actual ending it's what limits this game from being brilliant. You really have to process what happens at the end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Музыка, графика, физика, дизайн уровней и прочее 10/10. Геймплей из 1 части не сильно изменился 8/10. Высокий уровень сложности вообще не почувствовал, тип это предпоследний по сложности вариант и он не вызвал никаких проблем в прохождении, как-то легко. По сюжету даже хз, когда ты уже думаешь, что вот концовочка и тебе дают еще 40%, от всего времени прохождения, бегать за перекаченную бабу. Блять, каждую секунду за нее ждал, когда ее уже ебнут. И вот, казалось бы, конец все Элли с Диной живет счастливо, Эбби с индейцем ебаным. Но нет, надо было все обосрать окончательно, а то сюжет в центре которого тупо месть, не очень смотрится(думали разрабы). Из неожиданных поворотов сюжета, только 2 момента, когда Эбби 2 раз в театре могла ебнуть Элли и Дину, и когда Элли, в конце, могла ебнуть Эбби. Играют в милосердие в мире наполненным насилием, пиздец. Мало того, что Элли не добила ее, она еще и Дину проебала, с Томми поссорилась, бросила Джексон, проебала 2 пальца и в итоге осталась в одиночестве. 0 друзей, 0 смысла жизни и без дома. Ебал я в рот такие концовки, это слишком мрачно. Вместо лишних часов геймплея за Эбби, лучше бы добавили пару миссий в конце, после возвращения Элли из Санта-Барбары, в которых она бы пыталась найти и восстановить отношения с Диной. Такая концовка была бы лучше. Сюжет 6/10. Если лет через 10 появится желание пройти старые игры и я вспомню о серии the last of us, про 2 часть даже думать не буду.… Expand

    The plot in TLOU2 is not as interesting and exciting as in the first part, but it is still strong. The gameplay is excellent, action, animation, new types of infected. Gustavo Santaolalla's compositions are beautiful as always. There is less music in the game compared to the first part. And of course, a stunning visual of the game.

    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]
