    Gameplay was super fun! The first half was engaging, really liked this continuation. During the second half, I can't lie the story lost me, but it eventually dragged me back it. The story isn't for everyone, but overall I enjoyed it! Gameplay is 10/10!

    Une digne suite.
    Une vraie histoire.
    Des émotions.
    Des ambiances.
    Une bonne musique.
    Une DA superbe.
    Un gameplay quasiment parfait (déplacer les caisses ou poubelles est fastidieux)

    Un grand jeu.

    A fantastic game. An absolute emotional roller coaster star to finish. Takes what made the first game great and elevates it further. Be prepared, as many moments are tough to get through because again, like the first, it deals with complex and flawed characters.

    Story is awful and uses the characters you like as ammunition to poorly spoon feed you a really obvious and cliché "lesson" that violence and revenge are bad and it takes "the bigger person" to break the wheel. Something Red dead Redemption 2 did masterfully. Not only did Red dead 2 do it better but the story was told much more effectively and naturally rather then force LOU2 does.

    El juego mejor escrito de toda la historia, cada uno de sus personajes son perfectos y su moraleja me ha llegado a lo profundo del corazón
    Los que lo critican no entendieron el mensaje tan valioso que esta obra audiovisual presenta.

    This is one of my favorite games ever. I don’t think think any form of media has impacted me emotionally the way this game did. Don’t listen to the haters; they’re crybabies and don’t understand storytelling. Don’t miss out on this experience because you listened to the **** on the internet.

    For me this was a big disappointment and I sold it as soon as I finished it. I couldn't have cared less about the story. Actually, that's not accurate. I really disliked the story. And the game spends a lot of time on that narrative, which for me was a big drag. Gameplay was far less interesting than Part 1. All in all, a miss for me. But probably depends if you're into the story.

With that being said, the writting was horrible, full of holes, things that made no sense in conjuction with its characters and felt like the writer didn't know what they were doing. There is timing and skill to use the 'shock' value in order to benefit the story or enrich the characters, but that is not the case here. I've never been more disappointed in my life with a game than this one. It promised me one thing and secretly put something else in as a replacement. This game lied, swapped what it advertised for something gross and spat in the face of its fans. If you don't believe me, just look at the comment from other to see why this was a huge waste of money. I will never buy a Naughty Dog game again.… Expand

    Amazing Graphics, animations and game-play. The storyline gripped me like no other story ever could, and I'm in the process of getting the platinum trophy as of now.

    It's a game that feels the great work and dedication that was behind. Is a masterpiece that you will surely want to give it a try.

    You’ve been warned.

    The Last of Us 2 is easily one of the most divisive games of all time. It makes some bold choices in its story telling that many do not like; however, the greatness of gameplay is often lost in this debate. In terms of gameplay, the game builds on everything the first game did well. The Last of Us was fun, but the story and enemy design did a lot of the heavy lifting. This time around, there is more of game worth playing, even if you don't care for the story. There is a point in the game where the character stats reset, and, again, this is divisive. Contrary to how some have put it, you are not redoing everything you’ve already done; however, it’s not a totally new gameplay experience either. It changes up some skills and craftable items, but that’s about it. If you think this will annoy you, keep that in mind. For what it's worth, I barely thought twice about this until I saw so many people being upset by it.

    Now, on to the story, which is much harder to discuss spoiler free, so I am going to try and be a bit objective.

    I think you owe it to yourself to play this game and formulate your own take on its story. In the end, Sony and Naughty Dog are taking big risks on this series. It paid off in the first game and was (nearly) universally praised by critics and fans. This time, it's is far more divisive. Like the first game, the story is not meant to be satisfying. It's meant to be true to the characters and world in which they exist. It's a credit to the writers of the sequel that it never feels like they are trying to outdo the original. They're just trying to continue the story. They make some very bold decisions here, and these do overflow into the game’s design and create scenarios you may not enjoy, and I do not believe you are meant to. It was my opinion that these situations felt organic to the story, and, especially the characters, and not forced. If you want a game that makes you feel comfortable all the time, this is not the game for you.

    As for the ending, I understand a lot of the criticism there, but I was more ok with it than most; however, your mileage will vary depending on how attached or unattached you are to characters. You experience with narratives outside of video games will likely influence your thoughts as well.

    In summary, I think this good game for every gamer to play as you can have fun while having your expectations challenged. If you go in with this expectation, you'll likely walk away with a more positive opinion than most.

    It is a miracle that we get to have a stories like this in AAA titles. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, appreciate what you can, while you can. I am concerned gamers will start pushing back on challenging stories, just as movie goers did with film. It's quite likely that, one day, all AAA game stories will be as formulaic, predicable, and full of fan service as the modern movie blockbuster.    … Expand

It has become one of my favorite games I have played, so when I heard the sequel had gotten mixed thoughts from fans, I came into The Last of Us Part II hopefully optimistic and I liked it a lot. Nowhere near as good as the first, but still good. The gameplay is fantastic. Even on normal difficulty it can get really challenging. There isn't always a lot of ammo and shooting both people and infected has never felt so fun. The stealth was also so fun and so filled with tension. The story is where this game kinda falls apart. There are a lot of plot holes and contrivances. I also thought that the game was kinda in the wrong order. You first play as Ellie and then you play as another character and you play through the same days as you did Ellie. If you rearrange the scenes, it becomes a lot less messy. At first, the direction the story took seemed baffling, but over time, I grew to understand why they took the route they took. Another problem is that many of the character deaths don't have that huge of an effect on the story. Other than that though... Idk, I didn't really hate this at all. This was great. To me personally, plot holes don't really ruin a story for me, unless there is nothing holding the story together and I wouldn't really say that counts for this game. I liked this a lot and if you don't, that's fine, but don't get mad at me just because I liked a game you didn't. I liked this a lot and even with the huge story problems, I still couldn't not like this a lot. Hot take, I know.… Expand

    Game destroys the entire purposed of TLoU part 1. Fireflies planned to keep Ellie sedated and kill her without talking to her or Joel. He did the right thing. on part 2 they just make it out to be as wet he did was wrong. This game was so uncomfortable to play. Sick developers. This game made people feel so miserable. First time I regret spending money on a game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of Us Part 2 is a pathetic attempt at storytelling that utterly ruins the legacy of its predecessor. Neil and his media-friends' political views are shoved down our throats, making the story feel like a cheap propaganda piece rather than a genuine narrative.

    As for the characters, don't even get me started. Neil thinks he's a master anti-hero storyteller, but in reality, he's a talentless hack who relies on cheap emotional manipulation to try and make us care about his dull and uninteresting characters. Abby is a boring, one-dimensional character who adds nothing to the story except for pointless violence and misery. And don't even get me started on her dad. Who the hell cares about some loser because he saves a zebra?

    The decision to destroy the beloved characters of Joel and Ellie is nothing short of a travesty. Joel, who was once a complex and sympathetic character, is reduced to a mere plot device whose only purpose is to die a meaningless death in the first act of the game. This cheap, lazy attempt at creating a shocking moment only serves to undermine the impact of the first game and leaves a sour taste in the mouth of anyone who cared about Joel's story.

    And what about Ellie? Druckmann takes a character who was once brave, strong, and determined and turns her into a pathetic, whiny mess who is unrecognizable from her former self. Her descent into misery and despair feels forced and manipulative, and it's insulting to see such a great character be reduced to this.

    Last of Us Part 2 is a prime example of what happens when a writer's ego gets in the way of good storytelling, and it's a tragedy for fans of the franchise.    … 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]
