    Amazing Graphics, Excellent Gameplay. The cinematography is Stunning. And the ending is worthy in the style of a Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

    Literally the only excuse for anyone rating such an amazing game a bad score is that the reviewer has a micro-penis.

    Literally no other explanation. Amazing game. Amazing experience.

    Best of luck to those rating this game poorly. Enjoy a life of paying for disappointed companionship.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished the game. It was good. The developers really tried to make the player understand Abby’s side of the story. They wanted players to have a view of both Ellie’s and Abby’s story. It was great. But playing as what the players view as the “villain” for more than 5 hours is what made the game look like it was telling Abby’s side of the story rather than Ellie’s story. I think they should’ve created more events for the main protagonists (Joel and Ellie). Overall the gameplay, graphics and music are as impressive as the first game.… Expand

    What can I say, there is nothing interesting about the game. What made The Last of Us so memorable was the beautiful story between Joe and Ellie, and it sucks that they threw everything away. They don’t expand whatsoever on the infected or do they add new ones to the game. The new characters in the game are so forgettable, even do the game expands on them well they are just not interestingWhat can I say, there is nothing interesting about the game.

If we talk about graphics well if you have a PC the game just looks normal, specially if you play Red Dead 2 with high end graphics. The game play is similar to the first game nothing special there. Now on a positive note, the sound design team did and amazing job!! Finally, I don’t recommend you buy the game at full price, just wait for it to go on sale… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dogs has an agenda to their games:
    man where do I start the first part was one of my favorite games ever made, but the second one... Naughty Dog what have you done to this series, gameplay and graphics wise this games feels and looks awesome, story wise is really insulting, and underwhelming for us fans. WTH we wait more than half a decade for you to just give us a story where our beloved anti-hero protagonist gets such a crappy send-off? Make the game so political to the point that it made you question if you guys were just trying to score points with a group of people, instead of delivering a neutral enjoyable experience for everyone. To top it all off you give us an ending that leaves you feeling so empty that makes you not want to play it ever again. WOW, we are not review-bombing we are voicing our opinion to how misleading the trailers were compared to what we actually received.    … Expand

    I just ended Last of Us 2 and I can't but to give this game a solid 10. It's not perfect, (there are some parts that takes too long when shouldn't ) but the gameplay is awesome and the story is just amazing. I can understand some of the critics from users not liking the way the story takes ( I myself gets angry in some parts), but Last of Us never was a happy game with Disney endings.

I can understand some of the critics from users not liking the way the story takes ( I myself gets angry in some parts), but Last of Us never was a happy game with Disney endings. It's brutal, cruel, it tears your heart away and stomps it, and is really mature. The script writers puts You in the tight rope and plays with your feelings till the point of making You feel bad for your (or the characters) actions. But it removes your guts as any other game have ever made. So, It's not a game for everyone, It's not a game for people that wants a happy ending, and You have to stay cold till the very end to get all of this feelings together, but I think it totally deserves it. Thanks Naughty Dog for this amazing masterpiece.… Expand

If you want a game that looks great, has game play that is very nostalgic of the original game and contains a story whose only purpose is to make the game UN-fun. This is the game for you. The entire "fun" of the game is in killing enemies, the story of the game reminds you how bad it is to kill. There is no stealth option. The game-play forces the player to kill enemies and the story tries to make you upset that you are. If feels so forced.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Falta de ritmo, una descabellada y plana historia de venganza desmedida. Amparada por la mayor tragedia perpetrada en la historia de los videojuegos. El mas claro ejemplo de como destruir el legado de lo que para mi es uno de los mejores juegos de la historia.
    Joel no cometió ninguna atrocidad, EL mundo en el que el vivía, ya estaba destruido y de la humanidad ya no quedaba nada que salvar. Ya estaba herida de muerte por sus miserias. Pero una vez mas el destino le quería arrebatar aquello que mas quería. Y con la duda de si los Luciérnagas, serian capaces, aun teniendo los conocimientos necesarios para conseguir la tan ansiada vacuna y con los limitados y cochambrosos medios de los que disponían. La elección estaba clara. El padre de Abby estaba en un quirófano custodiado por un ejercito de Luciérnagas. La proporción era mas que desfavorable, y aun así, Joel lo consiguió, y no por que ellos no trataron de matarlo.
    Abby es un despropósito, la historia es plana , el ritmo lento y pesado. Desaparecieron las escaleras, las rampas, los puzzles, la genialidad.
    Como hubiera sido este juego, si hubierais dado la libertad real de elegir, explorar diferentes caminos, ira, o perdón. A lo largo de toda la cinta, la posibilidad real de no matar a nadie. Eso si que habría sido elegante y digno de un goty, le habría dado sentido real al mensaje que queríais transmitir    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En cuanto a Gameplay el juego es impecable, mejora muchos aspectos del primer juego, los detalles a la hora de los combates, la inteligencia artificial, los nuevos infectados, las nuevas animaciones, gráficos, etc. agregan una profundidad inimaginable al nuevo juego de la serie. El gran problema es la manera que la historia se ejecuto, dejando de fuera los aspectos LGBTQ+ que con eso no hay ninguna queja al respecto, ya que desde el primer juego se sabia que Ellie es lesbiana. El problema es la forma tan forzada que quieren que simpaticemos con Abby; desde el momento en que ella y su grupo de amigos son participes del asesinato de Joel, Abby culmina su venganza, ya que mas adelante en el juego se nos explica el por que de sus acciones, llegando a la conclusión, ella es la que sale ganando, su venganza culminada, escapando a lo que se entiende a una base de las nuevas luciérnagas, con una protegida (Lev) y sin remordimiento alguno, por que a los únicos que les tenia cariño de su grupo de amigos, era a Owen, Manny y Nora y a los demas, una, ni los llegamos a conocer bien y otra a Abby les deba igual, inclusive siendo hasta caprichosa y egoísta con Mel. Abby es el error más grande del juego, un personaje, todo poderoso, poco carismático y lleno de agujeros en su desarrollo como personaje. Los mas afectados son los protagonistas de la historia Ellie y Joel, este último recibiendo una de las muertes más sin sentido y con poco peso en la trama, ya que al último solo fue el detonante de la mitad de la historia, y Ellie pierde todo, se queda sola, Dina la dejo junto con su hijo J.J , Jesse esta muerto, Tommy la dejo, perdio los dedos y ahora no puede tocar la guitarra siendo este el último memento que Joel le dejo. Personalmente lo único rescatable de esta secuela es la parte técnica siendo esta impecable pero sin importancia dentro de un juego donde lo que más importa es su historia.

    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]
