    I loved the first game like many other gamers i loved the story and the gameplay, The last of us part 2 in all but one area is a greatly superior game the combat is smoother its much more brutal and the weapon upgrades have a real impact on the gameplay along with the level design being far bigger and open than the first game the only complaint i have with this game being that the storyI loved the first game like many other gamers i loved the story and the gameplay, The last of us part 2 in all but one area is a greatly superior game the combat is smoother its much more brutal and the weapon upgrades have a real impact on the gameplay along with the level design being far bigger and open than the first game the only complaint i have with this game being that the story just isnt as strong as the first but that is very subjective this game is very divisive because of the story direction even tho i dont think the story is as good as the first its still an overall great game with a subjectivity average story that has flaws but isnt overty bad Expand

    Definitivamente uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida... no es que no haya juegos que lo superen con respecto a la narrativa y mucho menos jugabilidad, pero es plenamente un juego el cual no me arrepiento haber conseguido, y experimentado gracias a Dios con un mente lo suficientemente abierta para con ello asegurarme de comprender más allá de lo que este juego me quiereDefinitivamente uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida... no es que no haya juegos que lo superen con respecto a la narrativa y mucho menos jugabilidad, pero es plenamente un juego el cual no me arrepiento haber conseguido, y experimentado gracias a Dios con un mente lo suficientemente abierta para con ello asegurarme de comprender más allá de lo que este juego me quiere hacer entender. Como dije, este juego no es perfecto, y algunos de los factores que hacen que no lo sea para mí,, es el orden de los eventos acontecidos en la historia, siento que la estructura que se planteó para el videojuego no fue la correcta por lo que el juego no fue del agrado de una gran parte de las personas que lo esperaban con ansias (Aunque igualmente iba a existir un grupo que a pesar de todo odiría el juego sin importar absolutamente nada). Por otro lado, quieren darte a entender la diversidad en cuestión de preferencias y personas con diferentes perspectivas sobre sí mismos que existe dentro de los establecimientos de la desarrolladora al momento de crear el juego, mas lo llegué a sentir, no relevante, mas si parcialmente forzoso el tema de la cuestión inclusiva. Pero por todo lo demás, considero que es un juego que te da justo lo que no esperabas de la secuela de esta grandiosa historia, y es justamente lo que YO esperaba, al enfatizar con esto, quiero decir que no quiero estar de repente hablando por todos, si no que es mi opinión, como yo veo el juego, y cómo no decepcionó para nada, porque después de el primer título, esta era la secuela que necesitaba, más cruda, más brutal, más gráfica, más sangrienta, menos melosa, y más realista.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this game, and I hated this game, let's get a few things out of the way, like standing at the base of the pyramids and truly taking in the effort taken to create them, the graphics made me want to cry. The animation was outstanding, I spent 10 minutes watching kids play in the snow.

    All of these things made me really enjoy the story, the scenes with Ellie and Dina at the start, really drew me in, the facial animation being so good I truly felt for the characters more than I have perhaps in any game before. The 'incident' wasn't really a problem for me, I felt when playing that they perhaps needed a radical shift from the norm. I was prepared to give them the respect they earned from me with the first game.

    Upon finishing the game I was happy and blown away, so all in all I loved it, however I started to read the negative feedback, and I have to say I can't disagree with any of it. I find myself asking was this the best the game could have been, and I think if you ask that, it has to be a no.

    A lot of the things that made the first game great are gone, for me the pacing was all over the place. There is so much time spent in dark offices with just a flashlight, that really feel a bit tacked on. The first felt like gameplay and story were perfectly blended, now it's a bit of gameplay then a bit of story. There are hardly any set pieces, pushing a car, hanging upside down etc.

    Although playing as another character and the result that has on the story was great in my opinion, I found it hard to really warm to them and enjoy playing as them. My advice would be play it with an open mind and enjoy it's good bits.

The story definitely is'nt a 0 or 1. That's nothing but butthurt gamers that give bad ratings because the story is'nt like the first one, that it does'nt have that tipe of story that the first one had. It's tough to please everyone, if the story was even mildly similar to the first one someone would hate the game because of that very reason. I really like this game. It's fun. The story makes you think. It's adult. It is'bt good like the first one, but its a good game nonetheless. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, the visuals are stunning, the controls are VERY clean, the game-play loop is fun though can be a little repetitive due to the nature of the game (it's a stealth game, of courses there's going to be a TONNE of stealth). The story while I didn't ENJOY in the same way I would the story of a fun action movie, was irrefutably good. I've seen a few other people's reviews on it and their complaints mainly focus on the fact that they didn't want to play as Abby, especially when fighting Eliie, and they claim that character motivations and actions conflict. To the first point, i say, you're not meant to, Abby was a character introduced to us KILLING JOEL, we are meant to hate her, making us play as her is there to deepen the fact that she isn't JUST the evil we see when she kills Joel, not (like i've seen most assume) to make us like her.

    To the second point I can partly understand where they're coming from, but I didn't encounter that conflict when I was playing, it was only when watching other's reviews that I thought 'oh i guess it could be seen that way'.

    A good illustration for what the story did, was in the last scene with both Abby and Ellie, i didn't want to kill Abby. Not out of empathy or because i liked her, but because of the frankly pathetic state she was in, 'life' had punished her enough at that point, and pushing it further would have felt gratuitous. This arguably could be attributed to the frankly incredible character design going from one of the buffest people in-game to, well, the state she was in at the end but even so it was still effective.

    All in all part of me feels like the immense hate for this game, from the people who have played it, stems from wanting to hate it and seeing small things and taking stances that make them feel much worse. I wouldn't say this is better than the original, or even close, but I would say it's a hell of a lot better than a lot of other games out there and was well worth the cost.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the last of us 2 is an incredible game in every way, graphically it is crazy, it looks like a movie, in terms of gameplay and gameplay it is perfect, new enemies, new ways of moving, new options in the controls, excellent, in terms of The enemies are smarter and it could be said that much smarter than the first game, it is not as easy to face them as before and that adds up to quite a few points, and in terms of history, it is very good, half the game, in which we play with ellie is perfect, joel although many do not like it had to die.
    And I feel like the part where we took over for Abby is quite entertaining and unexpected, it has great gameplay and gameplay just like Ellie's, but I feel like it was a little unnecesary.

    This is my first review on a game so i doubt it will be taken with any weight but i have seen such poor reviews of the game and i personally cant understand why so this is my personal opinion.
    i will try and keep the spoilers to a minimum.

    i played through last of us 1 and the DLC as a recap and was charged up for the second one.
    so last of us part 2, to start with the graphics are amazing to look at on the ps4 pro at least, there are so many little things in the game that relate to the previous game so at the very beginning if you bother to take the time to look around you can see how much detail the devs put into it.

    Story wise, a big event happened which took me by surprise and the devs have done so well at capturing the emotion that even i felt like going the direction that she did. i will say at the time of this writing i have not completed the game so i cannot comment on the end of the game just yet but so far i am 13 hours into it and have not found any plot holes or major story issues so that is as far as i can comment..

    Game play wise, the AI are a lot smarter and i have never had an AI actually say sorry to me when they have got caught by the enemy so AI wise they flank you, move to find you, and change patrol paths which makes them more dangerous and unpredictable.
    There are some open world aspects to the game and i will say the pace of the game is slightly slower than i would like but i would say its not a big issue.
    The weapon customization is quite nice and it changes the look of the weapons slightly too which is rewarding.

    if you like exploring and learning about the world your in and get really into the story and environment then this is the game for you. if you want to run and gun this and just pay the bare minimum attention to the story then do not waste your money.

    The main cons i can see is
    1: the stagger, if you get shot or hit by more than one person it can make you stagger constantly which makes it almost impossible to get out of and this results in your death
    2: the dialogue is a bit few and far between during game play and fairly short dialogue at that which sucks but so far the cons are so much less than the pros.

    IN SUMMERY, i paid for the deluxe edition of this game and i have got more than i expected out of this game and still enjoying it now and will be doing a second play through once i have completed it so my personal opinion is this game is worth it.

    The storyline has been discussed by everyone playing the game. While there are disappointing plot decisions, this is often the case in some of our favourite movies - not everything is sunshine and rainbows!

    Overall I think this game deserves more credit than what people are currently giving it. I get that people are saddened and disappointed by the story but sometimes when we look back at these decisions, we often realise the significance to future storylines (if naughty dog get another shot...)

    Definitely not giving this game a 10 due to some minor annoyances in terms of gameplay mechanics and some personal preference in terms of the types of games I enjoy. However I believe it is a journey that others should embark on.

    Story takes divisive and surprising turns that test your emotions throughout the entire play through. I loved the way it made me truly think about how I feel and gave me the choice to see things from a different perspective. Completely understand that this won’t land with everyone but I strongly recommend you stick it out until the end to make your mind up!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un juego impresionante. 10/10 en gráficos y 10/10 en jugabilidad. Pero lo que han hecho con la historia no tiene sentido, si has jugado al original es impensable que te hagan jugar con el personaje que tortura y mata al protagonista original, psicológicamente es una aberración. Y luego te obligan a pegarle una paliza a la otra protagonista del juego original y coprotagonista de esta segunda parte, ¿Qué tenían en la cabeza? Podrían haber contado la visión de Abby desde la perspectiva de alguno de sus amigos, eso habría sido asumible. La historia de Abby no aporta nada, un triángulo amoroso del que ya conocemos el final porque los has matado a todos en la parte de Ellie por ejemplo. Se siente todo forzado para intentar empatizar con una asesina de protagonistas, no funciona. La historia no puede pasar del 5.

    Si el juego original no existiera probablemente este juego sería uno de los mejores de la historia sin discusión. Pero existe.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Funny how peoples hearts are broken before even finishing this game.
    Stop whining and play through the whole game yourself, its at the very least 20-25 hours of playtime minimum, yet people cry about it on day one release date.
    When they possibly couldn´t have finished the game that exact day... unless they don´t have an actual life besides videogames of course...
    Stop rating games on leaks you have read and play it yourself you angry fools.

    I guess a complex revenge story is to demanding for people in these days of Marvel and all those happy little endings and shallow entertainment, lmfao.

    It could have been more satisfying for all of us to kill Abby, but with all that has happend in the game it´s absolutely understandable from an narrative and emotional standpoint that Ellie can´t take it no longer and grew tired of her own hatred and pursuing her revenge.
    In the end it costed both Ellie and Abby to much just to have their sweet vengeance...
    Abby literally lost every friend shehad after killing Joel and Ellie most likely destroyed her relationship with Dina and Tommy, for different reasons, and let´s not forget Jesse got killed because of all of this, not to mention that she killed a pregnant women, not that i personally cared about that **** Mel, but it´s understandable that it would take effect on Ellie...
    Only Wolf I felt ever sorry for is Owen anyway, but thats not the point.
    The moral of the story is, to quote RDR2: 'Vengance is an idiots game'.

    The game is a solid 8 out of 10.

    From gameplay point of view it's old good first part with new (for this specific game, but not industry) gameplay mechanics, improved enemies behaviour and some other refreshments. Graphic is really something. There are very beautiful and breath-taking scenes, dark places with great attention to details and you can really see that every location was created by people, who care about their work and put their soul in it.

    And for those who cares about the plot...

    There are really two opportunities (and sort of two "camps"):
    - If you're really feel extremely connected to the characters of "The last of us" and you want to see basically the same story, which the first part had, but new one - then you'll most possibly will join all of those, who are disappointed and angry and better not to start to play this game at all.
    - If you want just to follow the story wherever it'll bring you, putting yourself into game character(s) shoes, then you probably will... maybe not really "enjoy", but understand what this game was aiming to make you understand

    As for me, I can get why people got so upset, but that doesn't justify dumping the game in bad scores at the release date. This game really deserves better.
    Game events are not going by the straight line, as it was in the first part.
    The whole tone of the game is way darker than it was in the first part.
    It is very different game and let's just stop the comparison here.
    This game is making you to think about things, which you maybe not really facing directly every day, but it's happening all around. This game calls to very controversial feelings, and if you're trying to imagine yourself in a certain situation, presented in the game, it would be really hard to take any side or say "this is right, and that is wrong" - pretty much how it is in life. Funny, but those moments, which are causing so many people "hate" TLOU2 actually my favourite, because you believe it, you can believe that decisions are not made "as they should be", but as REAL PERSON can make them, considering all of the elements.
    The only thing I would agree with is that some of the minor characters are not described for us enough, taking into account that this is pretty long game. Just some small details, which will fulfil the image are missing, but in general motivation of every one is quite clear.
    I also would say that there are quite some dialogs, which are "just to be there", not bringing too much value, as well as most of the notes, which you'll find during exploration.
    But does all the minuses making it the bad game? Not at all.
    It's really good game. Quite overrated by critics and very under-rated by disappointed fans.

В первой части великолепно было вообще всё. И от второй части я ждал даже меньше, ведь к сюжету таких же требований у меня не было. И когда я начал играть, я думал, что получил то, что и хотел. Неплохой сюжет и в остальном всё было сделано великолепно. Так я думал, пока не дошёл до середины игры. С середины игры и до самого её конца у меня возникала одна мысль. Как? Как можно придумать настолько отвратный сюжет? И ведь не в персонажах дело. С ними можно было бы придумать сюжет куда лучше. Да и тему мести раскрыть интереснее. И почему вообще в игре, в которой главные герои, это Джоэл и Элли, интереснее всего наблюдать и играть за ЭББИ?! Из Элли вообще сделали какую-то тупую идиотку, как и из Томми. Да ту же Эбби можно было поместить в длс, а основной сюжет сделать на Элли и, хотя бы, Томми, раз Джоэл погиб. В общем, всё не умещу, да и не беру на себя роль автора хорошего обзора на эту игру, потому оценку поставлю исходя из 2 криетриев. В один входит сюжет, в другой геймплей, графика и прочее. Всё в одно сгрёб. Сюжет: 3 из 10. Не 0, потому что не считаю, что он настолько плох. 3 максимальное, что я мог поставить. Геймплей, графика и т.д.: 10 из 10. И того - 6.5. Для меты ставлю 8, т.к. для меты приходится округлить до 7, но из-за того, что мне уж очень всё понравилось, кроме сюжета, я хочу поставить 8. Я всего лишь игрок, как я уже говорил, роль написать хороший обзор я на себя не брал. Я не обзорщик, не игрожур, могу позволить себе и завысить оценку, раз мне так хочется, и раз мне она хоть как-то понравилась. Но всё же сюжет очень разочаровал. А я ведь и не ждал чего-то невероятного... Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 is not a perfect game. But it is not deserving of all this hate. For a game that is so divisive it is one of the most exciting and interesting experiences I’ve ever played through and experienced. The level design and character designs are beautiful, each level was created so carefully with so many options for movement and progression. AI saw an overhaul and they behave fairly realistic and create challenges (especially on hardest difficulty)

    I can understand some gripes with the story not being what was expected. But this does not make Th e game a 3/10 , people need to get over their pre conceived notions and understand what this game is doing and saying with the story. I enjoyed it and was on the edge of my seat. It has many emotional moments as well.

    Naughty Dog's work has been my life for as long as I can remember and the first last of us is one of my favourite games of all time and is also one of history's favourite game normally being held as the peak of cinematic storytelling in video games.

    So for me and the rest of the world, this game had big shoes to fill. And despite all controversies I'm going to put it out there that for me, this game met the criteria. It's an ambitious project in terms of scope and storytelling, one which is painful to review without spoilers but I will try my best for the people of the internet but only because you guys are paying me by being on my website.

    Let's start of with everything else and then we'll get to the story. As to be expected from any PlayStation exclusive, this game looks absolutely gorgeous. One of those games where it just looks better than real life. We learnt from the original last of us that Naughty Dog pushes the boundaries of a console towards the end of it's life cycle and my PS4s fan was in overdrive. Facial animations in this game are the realest they've ever been. Every expression on a face is detailed and purposely put collaborating with this game's scarily detailed sound design and heart pumping score to create sprinkle on top of the already detailed gameplay. The first thing I noticed about this gameplay is it's much scarier. And I'm not talking jumpscares I'm talking edge of your seat drop your controller intensity which as a survival horror fan I loved. This gameplay would be perfect and is at times when it flows beautifully and you feel powerful and brutal, heavily improving on the first game but as helpful as AI partners are they frequently got in my way. Once I threw a brick to trigger a trap and the AI just walked in front of it and the brick hit her head. She just stood there smiling. As funny as this occurrence is it breaks immersion. I mentioned this game was brutal but that's an understatement. The violence is disgusting and real and everything about it begs you to play it with headphones. I am a bit of a violence fan to the point it's concerning but we can all agree the detail they put into the sound of digging a knife into a throat and pulling it out to hear blood spurt out so realistically it even made me retch sometimes. The violence grounds the gameplay of this game to an entire new level.

    The story is the most ambitious part of this game and the genius of it is it can only work in the format of a video game. I can't say anything to spoil but what I saw in this game I've never seen in another piece of fiction. My only grievance is for some new characters, you're not left emotionally invested with their stories being criminally boring but this part of the story is needed, still being a negative.

    This game gets a 8/10. I don't get what the internet was mad about with this one.

    love the video game tbh. I don't know why too many people hate it, maybe because the story telling is not for you. Each characters have their own reason and we all learned something from them. Overall, The Last of Us 2 is a great video game, congratulation to Naughty Dog, great job

    This an enjoyable game but a flawed one. While many people don't like a certain story decision but it isn't bad writing. It makes sense in the world of the game. I didn't like it but understood it. Anyway the gameplay is good, the characters are well fleshed out. I appreciated that the enviroments were more fleshed out than the first one and the game looks great. The performances are greatThis an enjoyable game but a flawed one.

The performances are great and you really feel everything you're supposed to in the game. I wasn't a big fan of the switching POV's especially since it felt so out of nowhere, but once you get into the other character it isn't a big deal. I think the writing at the end is a bit flawed but it didn't take away from my overall experience with the game. I enjoyed this game a lot. It was heartbreaking and beautiful despite its flaws.

    Despite all the flaws people say, I enjoyed the game a lot. I liked TLOU1's story more but this game's gameplay was better.

    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]
