    Finished the game with 50+ hours, the basic gameplay is same as part1, i mostly play with stealth style, i wish there is more improvement on that like dragging bodies etc, however the level design have improved lot, much more open ended especially early level design, but i wish there is more path to arrive a destination instead of forced to go through certain way. Story part i'm ok withFinished the game with 50+ hours, the basic gameplay is same as part1, i mostly play with stealth style, i wish there is more improvement on that like dragging bodies etc, however the level design have improved lot, much more open ended especially early level design, but i wish there is more path to arrive a destination instead of forced to go through certain way.

    After finishing this game, all I can say is that it's just another AAA game.

    Graphics: Absolutely amazing if you've been living under a rock for the past 5 years. It's expected with today's technology for a high budget game.

    Mechanics: Just little improvement from the TLOU, jumping, and crawling, which has been around since the start of video games.

    Gameplay: I admit I got hooked with the guitar. Stealth is just a good experience, stabbing people on the back just gives another level of joy. Cause you can never do that in real life unless you're psychotic. The only bad thing, I can say for gameplay, the AI's are a little bit terrible, just a little bit.

    Storytelling: Nuh, I don't wanna talk about it. It depends on the gamer's perspective, whether they like the story or not. I won't force to your throat that I felt betrayed by this outing. It's your own appreciation of the game that matters. Whether you enjoyed it or not, it's yours to decide not mine.

    Conclusion:
    It's a fun game, but not a great game, in my perspective. It's overrated, in my opinion, and it's also over hated due to the expectation from the last game. It's playable and you can get a lot of good time from this game.

    PS:
    I immediately traded the game after I finished it.    … Expand

    The animations and the graphics are top notch. The gameplay is mediocre at best. But the story is far worse than I even imagined after the leaks. And the SJW propaganda (which is super brutal, btw) is not even the bad part. The writing is so trash it's not even funny... What a disappointment!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Naughty Dog’s Masterpiece.
    Forget about LGBTQ hate and dumb people hating it for no sense, I really hate games who make things like that just for no reason, but this game don’t make this, the relationship between Ellie and Dina is so real, amazing and lovely.
    Imagine if a lunatic had killed your father in cold blood, who was trying to discover the cure of humanity? Imagine if you had some issues with your father figure and in the next day you see him getting killed by a lunatic woman with a golf club? That’s a damn heavy heartfelt motivation.
    You’ll never find another experience like The Last Of Us Part 2.
    Gameplay:
    I’d never played a game too immersive like that, the stealth is so good and I felt so sad when I messed up the run letting an enemy see me.
    The gunfight is incredible, you can feel the shots getting out of the gun, the aim system is so realistic, you can’t just blast everyone like a f***ing Resident Evil S.T.A.R.S. super soldier.
    The direct confrontation is the best I’ve ever seen, so satisfying, you can feel it with all the variety of animations and all the realism and violence.
    Good variations of guns and weapons, including upgrades like in the first game. Good crafting system too.
    Different than the first, now you can jump and crouch, and that works fantastic for people like me who likes to be stealth (but trust me, is so much fun to just confront the enemies directly).
    The difficult of the game is fine, I think I would like to have less items in the scenarios because that turns the game a little easier, but the AI is something that I’ve never seen, the behavior of the enemies is so unpredictable and real, that’s real intimidating.
    The puzzles are fine considering that’s not a game about that.
    If you like exploration of huge scenarios…that’s your game, sometimes felt like an open world game, insane level design, this is one thing that ND knows how to do, amazing scenarios, I just got excited to search everywhere for notes and collectibles, so fun.
    The scary parts are my favorite ones of gameplay, I just jumped every time with Stalkers and the biggest boss of the game is really intimidating and scary.
    The graphics are the best of these generation, facial expressions in cutscenes and in game are really stunning and the best part is the animations, the interactions between Ellie with scenarios and enemies, all her moves and interactions mixed with the beautiful graphics makes a really important role on getting the player immersed and impacted through the game, you can see and feel the care of Naughty Dog on these little things.
    Sometimes you gonna fell uncomfortable doing bad, violent and stupid things that corroborates with the narrative. All the suffer, all the sadness, all the sense of vengeance, this game is so much more than that, the feeling inside all the violence in both stories, it’s like a roller coaster of emotions and feelings, you can feel all that and understand just playing the game.
    The story is the main point, and that’s where the game really got me.
    That's just different than any other game you've ever seen, unique and audacious.
    I don’t understand why people are getting so much hate for this, maybe they got the point of the first game wrong, but a lot of people is just being mean.
    Joel is not a hero and Abby is not a Villain. They’re people in an apocalypse, just that, that’s the point.
    The parts of Abby, for me, is so incredible and important for this game.
    I don’t feel like ND wanted to make us “sympathize” with Abby, because she is a terrible person, her friends are the worst, I think that’s the point.
    I just think the intention was to bring us a different perspective of all that, to see the other side, to show us the violence, not just trough Ellie and Joel’s journey, but in different relations too, to show us human’s decisions and consequences, Joel’s decisions and consequences, I don’t know if what Joel did in the end of first game was right or wrong, I just know that maybe, if I was him in the same situation, I would do the same, that’s the fact that made me love Joel, cause he is human, not a hero who saves the little girl from the bad firefly villains, but the old man who cannot lose another child.
    The most incredible things happens through the journey, the development of Ellie through the game is the deeper and this game made her my favorite character of all time. You gonna fell on your skin everything that Ellie faces.
    The end of the game is so good like(maybe better than)the first one, everything makes sense in the end and you can feel how heavy, hard and emotional that journey was seeing all the consequences that this circle of violence made in these two characters lives, showing us what vengeance coasts and sometimes, when you reach something that you’re really looking for, you don’t fell…nothing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all the graphics in this game is topnotch wow!I had to stop once in a while just to look at the views,the snowy mountains,the falls,the flowing water,the grass,everything in this game is so crisply made and so detailed.You can clearly see the character's emotions in their faces.It's just breathtaking.The gameplay is just alright. The same with the first one with some added features like dodge and you can finally crawl now(thank god).You can also throw ropes and break windows to get to new areas which is a good addition for it can at least keep your mind running what to do next.The sound of this game is absolutely beautiful too.When I first throw a brick to break that window, the sound of a breaking glass is just so good as it shatters and hits the floor, just downright earcandy(if that even makes sense).Then comes the story that ruined it all.Naughty Dog forgot a very important thing.Majority of the fans if not all wanna buy this game because of the story,not the gameplay,not the graphics.It's what made the first one such a masterpiece.I'm not homophobic or have issues with LGBTs or having to watch a sex scene of a man and a woman whose muscles are way bigger than him(I was actually laughing the whole time while they're doing it)or whatever agenda you're trying to push.I don't care about any of that. I only care about the story which you ruined so badly and poorly written.They made Tommy and Joel complete idiots in this sequel.Tommy gave his name to a complete stranger and even invited them to resupply back at their base, worse is even Joel gave his name too to these strangers.When I first saw it I was like wait what?Is this even Joel and Tommy?It's so uncharacteristic of them to be careless and stupid like that.It's okay to change a character's fundamental trait,Squall for example being a loner, but it was shown throughout the game why he was like that and what changed him and how in the end he became more open to people. Joel and Tommy did not have that it was a straight up extreme character 360 with no explanation at all. That's just lazy story writing right there. After that the game just became an ordinary lame revenge plot which was poorly written too WTF! Abby killed someone you dearly loved and your friends, now you have a chance to give them justice and guess what? She bites off two of your fingers, then suddenly have a rush of conscience(even after killing women and dogs) then let's her go. How in the world would you even think that that's a good idea of a story? In the movie industry that could win you bajillion of awards but guess what? It's a **** videogame!!!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can see why it can be divisive, I felt betrayed and so angry when I had to play as Abby. While watching the credits roll out I understand why now; It's because I missed Joel so much, I kept remembering him and all the beautiful scenes with him, just like Ellie did during the entire experience, reading her diary makes a great difference, so with this in mind, it wouldn't be possible without having to see what Abby experienced so you can have a broader view of all that happened and why, still this does not absolve her of anything, if it were my choice I would definitely drown her, but its not, and Ellie really made the right choice because she saw Joel at the end, she felt all his love and released all the anger she had inside, she burst into tears, something she didn't do during the entire experience, she was just tired of it all, just as we were, I was so stressed the whole game, and then happy and then angry, and then stressed again, and for a game to bring you all this emotions, oh man, that deserves praise, I won't even talk about the gameplay It's just a beauty, organic, smooth, brutal and gratifying.… Expand

    An incredible piece of art. Naughty Dog really pushed the boundaries of video games exploring the weight and complexity of human nature. This is not your typical Manichaean and Monomythic storyline. ND does not present us a game about heroes and villains, but a game about people, messed up people willing to do whatever they think is right to fulfill their egoistic and selfish desires.

[OPINION CON SPOILERS] El juego es bueno, la primera mitad que juegas con ellie puedo decir que es de lo mejor, personajes como jesse o dina se me hicieron buenas inclusiones, los personajes LGBT+ son buenos y no lo senti forzado, la relación de dina y ellie me encanto y con lev, si no te decían que era una chica en realidad ni te enterabas, cuando empieza la parte de abby almenos en mi caso odie esa parte, tiene lo bueno como la historia de lev y yara, el cambio por parte de abby, personajes como owen o many son buenos, aunque sepas como acabaran, como abby rompe el ciclo de venganza al no matar a ellie y dina en el teatro se logra ver su evolución como personaje, el final me dejo un mal sabor de boca pero lo siento bueno a la vez aunque algo triste, cuando estas a punto de matarla te das cuenta como finalmente ellie perdona a joel por lo que hizo y reflexiona sobre lo que estaba haciendo, la escena final de la guitarra es un adios a joel después de todo lo que paso, no es una obra maestra como la aclaman, pero tampoco es malo y no esta cerca de serlo, la muerte de joel aunque sea rapida y sin una escena mas memorable se entiende, no es algun heroe como para evitar que pasara, simplemente el pasado lo alcanzo, ellie queda devastada, herida, sin poder tocar bien la guitarra y sola, todo esto por una venganza, no es un final bueno, solo es un final y ya.… Expand

    No better sign a game is awful than wanting the character you're playing with to get killed (I know several players have intentionally killed or let that character to die). Technical aspects could be good or great, but if the story sucks, the game sucks as well.

    For context, I tried playing the first game and just couldn't get into it, so that likely gives me a slightly different perspective than most people. Still, I don't think the game is nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. This is clearly a "Last Jedi" situation all over again. The story didn't take the direction fans wanted, and many are upset.

    Pros: Amazing graphics (seriously, I can't think of many games that look better); solid--but not perfect--narrative. Mostly, the story is good, though there are a few drawn out bits that I didn't think were great. The overall atmosphere that Naughty Dog is able to create with the experience is fantastic, though.

    Cons: The game has moments that feel a little too repetitive for my taste (i.e., clear area, collect things, wash/rinse/repeat); while the narrative works, at times it is a little too heavy-handed and maybe a tad cliche; for me, the gameplay itself is fine, but nothing special (I've seen some people say it's amazing and some say they hate it--to me, it gets the job done, but that's about it).    … 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.
