    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game runs a bit too long, and makes very divisive opinions for you, but it sticks to the story they wanted to tell. Even if not the biggest fan of some of the plot points/ way characters are handled they do accomplish their goal of evoking emotion and getting a response whether positive or negative. Environments, gameplay, and world are all improved and TLOU2 is still one of the best games of the year and is a true Naughty Dog game from beginning to end. Expand

    Any review out there with anything lower than a 4 deserves to be deleted simply due to the AMAZING graphics and animation. That along makes it AT least a 4. Additionally, any review that gave it a perfect 10 is being too generous due to the poor pacing in the second part of the game.

    The biggest problem with Last of Us Part II is how it looses momentum and resets itself when the story shifts at a certain point. Not only is this section cover the same timespan of the main story, but it also resets the player to upgrade a character all over again.

    If this segment of the story was appropriately woven in between the central plot, then it would be more reasonable to call it a 10/10 game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II presenta una historia llena de grandes momentos, el juego demuestra que su mundo no tiene compasión por nadie, la muerte de Joel fue un claro ejemplo de que todos pueden caer en cualquier momento, muestra lo cruel que es este mundo y tiene presente el ciclo de la venganza, toda acción presenta una consecuencia.
    Su final es ambiguo, te deja con dudas y te presenta a una Ellie que nunca podrá superar la muerte de la única persona que dio todo por ella. Tal.vez no podrá ser mejor que su antecesor, pero sin duda es un gran final para la historia de estos personajes.

    The game is far from a “masterpiece”, it definitely has many issues in its story, specially regarding to Abby. However, the gameplay is super enjoyable, the animations are the best I’ve ever seen, the music is amazing and levels are fun.
    It the game wouldn’t have disrespected some characters and forced us play as Abby, it would have been better than the original, it’s a shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este juego me pareció un muy buen juego, con asombrosas mecánicas en el gameplay y un inteligencia artificial excelente y la mejor que vi en cualquier videojuego, gráficos preciosos con rostros de personajes que parecen reales, y unas físicas que te hacen sentir cada golpe, navajazo o tiro. La historia me pareció bastante buena, tuve un problema con la segunda mitad del juego ya que controlamos a abby, y no me entusiasmó mucho porque sentí que se alargó demasiado su historia. Tampoco me gusto mucho el final ya que sentí que al menos Ellie o Abby debieron morir, para demostrar que la venganza solo lleva a cosas malas y letales. La muerte de Joel no me pareció mala ya que le da la motivación a la historia y la fuente de los deseos de venganza tanto de Ellie como de el propio jugador y demuestra que aunque sea Joel, en ese mundo cualquiera puede morir y de una manera muy rápida y sin honor, porque es así, nadie es invencible.
    pd: para los que se quejan de porque Abby va a puños, quiero que recuerden que en el primer juego Joel también iba a puños, pero por ser un personaje que no les agrada, critican cualquier cosa.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Desde mi perspectiva el juego no es para nada malo, gráficamente es excelente, jugabilidad mejoro bastante en comparación con la primera entrega, ahora yo creo que todos o por lo menos la gran mayoría está de acuerdo con lo que acabo de decir, ahora viene el problema donde discrepa la gran mayoría "LA HISTORIA", desde mi punto de vista el juego comienza bien mostrándonos como Joel rescato a Ellie de las luciérnagas para luego mostrarnos como esta Jackson y como esta Ellie, hasta ese instante iba excelente, nos muestran como funciona Jackson, algunos personajes como Jesse, Dina, María, etc. Luego se nos da la orden de hacer rutas para despejar la zona junto con Dina y va todo excelente hasta ese "TRÁGICO MOMENTO" aquí todos se querían matar al ver que Joel murió de una forma tan mala, desde mi punto de vista Joel debería haber muerto de una forma un poco más épica tipo Yara pero aún más épico, yo en vez de haber matado a Joel en las primeras 2 horas de juego hubiera comenzado el juego con Ellie, Dina (estas 2 haciendo pareja) y obviamente limpiando zonas de los infectados(controlando a Ellie), y por otro lado a Joel y Tommy limpiando otra zona, pq puta que tenía ganas de controlar a Joel. Luego de eso yo hubiera ingresado la historia de Abby y de como esta busca venganza por la muerte de su padre, luego mucho más adelante tipo 10-15 horas de juego matar a Joel y con ello comenzando la venganza de Ellie y acabando la de Abby. Desde mi punto de vista sentí que cuando contaron la historia de Abby me dio un poco de paja jugarla (no toda, pero si me dio paja jugar la primera vez que ella sale y se encuentra con SCARS) sentí que había como mucho "relleno" dentro de su historia. Ahora llegaríamos en la parte en donde Ellie mata a la gran mayoría de los amigos de Abby y bueno hay contando la historia de Abby y de como esta es salvada por Yara y Lev (pq desde mi punto de vista esa parte de la historia me pareció más entretenida y como que abrió un poco más a los 3 personajes). Siento que después todo el trascurso de la historia está bastante sólido, en cuanto a que Abby intenta volver para vengar la muerte de sus amigos con esta última perdonando la vida de Ellie y de Dina (gracias a Lev). Ahora la historia siento que transcurre bastante bien con Dina, Ellie y el hijo de Dina, y por otro lado a Abby con Lev intentando encontrar a los luciérnagas, y estas 2 siendo capturadas. Luego Ellie va a buscar venganza por Joel (otra vez XD) y aquí viene para mi lo más difícil de imaginar como seria el final, siento que el final desde mi punto de vista, no es bueno ni tampoco malo, seria tipo como un 4/10, ya que si bien Abby sufrió muchísimo (tanto que si no hubiese llegado Ellie ella hubiese muerto) además de matar a todos sus amigos, haber escapado de los lobos y comenzar todo de nuevo intentando encontrar esa luz llamada Luciérnagas, y aquí explico el motivo del pq el final no me parece tan asqueroso, si bien yo creo que la gran mayoría de las personas querían ver muerta a Abby, siento que es bueno (aunque el final fue bastante anticlimatico y como que esta muy mal construido) en el momento en que Ellie deja escapar a Abby se abre una puerta para ver a las luciérnagas (quizás en otro entrega o algún tipo de DLC).

    Ahora quería dar una pequeña opinión mía con respecto al personaje de Abby y es que en el transcurso de la historia intentan logran que puedas empatizar con el personaje (cosa que si paso en mi) puesto que siento que en un mundo apocalíptico no hay ni buenos, ni malos, solo gente que intenta sobrevivir a todo costo en un mundo donde ya no hay luz solo oscuridad.

    The game is solid. It follows the same formula as the first game. Just better game play, movement and graphics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Killing one of the most beloved game characters ever in such a raw and almost torture-like manner and then asking their players to put on the shoes of the perpetrator is a lot to ask for and there is probably no other studio in the world that would do it. In reality, one can be held accountable for one's actions and one rarely rides against the sunset and lives happily ever after. That everything is about perspectives and we all are heroes or villains depending on what part of our lives, what actions or people we encountered in the spotlight shines on may have never been better told in any media. I might have wanted a different ending but the game is basically a masterpiece no matter what part of the game we are talking about. Expand

    Is not a fan service game. But is still good. In my opinion the story could have been better, totally agree, but is a real well made game. You can see the efforts in development.
    If you ask me, I'd prefer de first one. But this one takes vengeance to a new whole level and that makes it different .

    Gostei do jogo mas não tanto como do primeiro! Este tem uma boa mensagem, vingança é um caminho solitário, leva-nos a pensar nas nossas acções durante o gameplay mas tem algumas falhas na história. Muitas personagens, pouco desenvolvimento.

Este tem uma boa mensagem, vingança é um caminho solitário, leva-nos a pensar nas nossas acções durante o gameplay mas tem algumas falhas na história. Muitas personagens, pouco desenvolvimento. Este jogo podia ser feito em duas partes (ou dois jogos) e não juntar tudo em um só jogo. Tentaram ao máximo distinguir-se ou separar-se do primeiro jogo que a narrativa foi um tanto apressada (como escrevi, muitas personagens, pouco desenvolvimento deixando alguns buracos na mesma), mas também abre "portas" ao jogador para tirar as suas próprias conclusões. No todo, foi uma boa experiência, mas não é um 10/10. Para mim é um 8.5, não dou um 9, devido as falhas da narrativa e personagens sem grande ligação ou desenvolvimento.
    No entanto, não entendo o ódio de muitos para com o jogo. No "final do dia", é apenas um jogo!

    Atenção ao detalhe e grafismo no seu melhor, gameplay inovado quando comparamos ao original mas um pouco mais do mesmo e a narrativa ficou um pouco aquém daquilo que esperava, na mesma, não é tão má como tentam passar informação! 8.5, como já escrito, é a minha nota!
    Mas cada um tem a sua opinião. Uns irão gostar, outros odiar e outros ficarão indiferentes. É normal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay so, when I bought the game, I read the reviews and got scared that it would be terrible. The story was heavily criticized, and so was the gameplay. However, upon playing the game i realized that most what everyone complained about was the fact that they lost Joel. They acted as if he was a Saint but in reality he wasn't. Yes I loved the character but he did bad things a d and the game did justice. The story wasn't even bad. Only problems I had with it is how easy Abby turned on the WLFs, the fact that they had Abby kill Joel in the first couple hours felt like a let down, as they portrayed Joel as a part of the story in the trailers which felt like an advertisement lie.

    Asides from that. The game play was more than awesome, the gore levels are very realistic to compared to other games, the characters are actually good. Personally i feel like lots of those negative reviews stem from homophobic reasons

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego en si es bueno. Aunque no le pongo 5 estrellas por la forma tan tonta en la que matan a uno de los mejores personajes de todos los vídeo juegos, me refiero a Joel, si bien es "justificada" su muerte deberían de haberlo matado de una forma épica en la que el jugador piense que en verdad valió la pena la muerte del mismo, y no algo tan burdo como lo fue. También pienso que es una gran estafa el hecho de que Elli perdone la vida de Abby pero no haya podido perdonar a Joel por haberle mentido en el primer juego, gracias a él hizo y vivió muchas cosas, incluso formó un tiempo una familia gracias a seguir con vida y no pudo perdonar a Joel.... Vamos, que gran estafa, por lo demás es un gran juego, pudieron haber hecho mejor las cosas pero ni modo, es lo que hay. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played all through TLOU2 and I genuinely liked it a lot. Its not as fresh or new as the originals, so I already feel like it has that part going against it, but overall as an experience I enjoyed it, and I found the differences between Abby and Ellie interesting.

    I still think that if anyone hadn't seen the spoilers and didn't have their opinions of the game warped by the "rational anti-sjw" YouTubers, it would easily be better received and people would actually think for themselves. Even if some ideas of representation came off repulsive to people who get that upset by that kind of stuff, I believe it would be easier to brush off for that crowd. I personally liked Ellie's relationship with Dina, even if I feel Dina lacked some background in some areas, but what I found to like about her was that Ellie, even with all the **** shes gone through, had someone that she could love and be comforted by who accepted her for who she was, and I genuinely found that endearing.What I liked about Abby was that she was essentially a representation of what Ellie COULD have become. She got her revenge, and when she was given the chance to back down from Ellie and spare Dina, she did, even after all the **** that Ellie had gone through. In the end I actually believe Abby went through even WORSE circumstances than Ellie did, yet she decided to move forward and not be consumed by hate anymore, while Ellie couldn't even live with herself anymore and her entire identity became engulfed in rage and hatred, letting it get the best of her and her friends.

    The game was clearly trying something different here that isn't normally done in story driven games, and while I was strongly opposed to playing a different side of the story, I grew to empathize with Abby and appreciate her arc as a character, and see how contrasted with Ellie. They're both different sides of the same coin. Both characters basically broke even, yet both processed their tragedies differently. Given that the theme of TLOU2 is "hate", I would say it does an excellent job of portraying it. Instead of Ellie choosing to move on, she chose to seek revenge. Instead of choosing to be happy, she chose to let the anger consume her, leaving her with nearly nothing left, but the smoldering ruins of her life. I wished the best for Ellie as well, and I can see how people are disappointed in the ending sequence, but I honestly was fond of the message it was trying to promote. Revenge sounds like a sweet prize in videogames, but in this scenario that tries to mimic reality, it is a often a hollow victory .

    Id have to give the game an 8/10. It's trying something different that falls short in some aspects, but I respect what its doing and in many ways succeeds at it. People who are giving this game 3's and below while pretending to be "honestly giving their opinion" are just trying to veil their short sighted anger, while having the entire experience already ruined for them because some "anti-PC redpilled" youtuber told them that you're an idiot for liking this game. Almost no triple A games deserve ratings as low as a 3, and ESPECIALLY a game as polished as TLOU2. Even if the games story was as **** **** as people claim it to be, it would still deserve a MINIMUM of a 6 out of 10 for the level of detail and fidelity it has poured into it.

    I cant convince anyone otherwise of how to view the game because it feels that anyone who even browses YouTube has had their perception so monumentally **** up to the point that there is no discussion to be had. They just see the game's leaks where you see everything completely unexecuted and left to the imagination, and then hear about it from someone online who wants to call it "SJW trash" and it will immediately be subject to the worst possible lens of skepticism and reviews. If everyone in this game were a bunch of straight white dudes, nobody would give a **** and maybe the only thing that people would criticize was that the story goes a bit too long.

    8/10 for me, and to someone who dislikes the game, a 6/10 MINIMUM under any circumstance.

Had mixed feelings about this game it was very controversial I think it turned at better than I thought there were some parts that could have been better like the Abby part like how you waste time trying to save Yara but she dies and how the the story between her and Ellie are not really connected apart from her friends. But the end really got me because I think the theme of this game showed revenge and forgiveness. This game showed that vengeance is not good Abby took that road and she lost all her friends. Ellie also took that road and lost a life with Dina but saw that it would just lead to more suffering.How Ellie was able to forgive Abby for what she did and when she wanted to try to forgive Joel. Joel's death was not dumb it's what we all saw coming anyway it what motivates Ellie to get her revenge therefore making this game. Gameplay is great especially on the hardest difficulty. Great game but is not as bad as people say. Expand

    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.
