    overrated game. gameplay is the nearly the same as tlou 1 with the same stupid ai. graphics are really pretty and the staging is nice. but the story is boring as hell(and had much plot holes) if you play the first 4 hours your know what happen if you think 3 senconds over it. its a standard revenge story with nice graphics and standard gameplay. absolute overhyped wait until its getoverrated game. gameplay is the nearly the same as tlou 1 with the same stupid ai. graphics are really pretty and the staging is nice. but the story is boring as hell(and had much plot holes) if you play the first 4 hours your know what happen if you think 3 senconds over it. its a standard revenge story with nice graphics and standard gameplay. absolute overhyped wait until its get cheaper before buy it.… Expand

Graphics are unreal, animations are fluid, combat is extremely realistic while being really fun. This game is truly remarkable. The bar has been set so high by naughty dog, that it'll take other game developers years to catch up.… Expand

    the game play and the graphics are cool, but the history.... , the franchise is not about vengeance, naughty-dog could create another game about vengeance, but they ruined this franchise doing that.

    It is simply the best game of our generation. Not only for graphics and the gameplay but for the story behind this long and awesome trip that is the world of tlou. The most important thing in this game is the revenge and I think that ellie is the perfect character for this game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was supposed to be one of the most anticipated games ever. I'm sorry naughty dog but you've lost me and my wife as fans of yours. You may not care now but previous fans will think twice next time you create a game. The biggest problem I have is, besides Joel being killed almost immediately a long with just about everyone else, and fighting Ellie or playing most of the game as Abby, is the political environment you created. Why is a video game getting political?? Bad move. Most gamers are not interested in being force fed "gender equality" or being forced to watch two females have a relationship in a game. I'm guessing you received funding from some company that wanted that agenda pushed. Really bad move. I play games for the story and entertainment, not politics. I get enough of that from the awful media. What an amazing first game you created but this one has ruined the whole story, and I know you say you expected this and are ok with this, but are you really?… Expand

Reseña de un fanático del primer titulo, realmente esperaba una buena historia con trama consistente sin la exageración forzada de el progresismo y la inclusion, algo que se viera natural y bueno, lamentablemente el juego no cumplió con esas espectativas y arruino la muerte de un gran personaje para la PS4 con terribles agujeros argumentales y fallas logicas, en conclusion un juego mediocre en historia, con muy buenas fisicas y jugabilidad debo reconocer, lastimosamente falló en lo más impirtante y en lo que enamoro a los fans del primer título… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best golfing simulator I've seen in a while, but that's not saying much. In all honesty the writing in this story is absolutely abhorrent. The direction the story goes is nonsensical and seems like something out of a bad fanfiction. Even in the end you dont get any sort of a payoff. It's funny that you just let the villain get away. This has nothing to do with the LGBTQ stuff inserted inside. The story. I could give a **** about that.… Expand

Forced chemistry between the two characters, and no payout in the end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine if Jack Marston tracks down Edgar Ross and instead of shooting him, he lets him go. That is the ending to this

    Other than the **** ending, the gameplay is quite fun. The Seraphites actually had me on my toes due to how they communicate, Shamblers are a fun enemy to fight, the Stalkers are actually pretty scary, and overall the enemies in this just feel better.

    The story starts off pretty strong, and you think to yourself “okay maybe this isn’t as bad as everyone says it is” and then Joel dies, and you see why everyone says the story is **** Along with that, the game has bad pacing issues in the beginning after Joel’s death. After Joel dies, absolutely NOTHING interesting happens for a good 2 **** hours. I was literally so **** bored for those 2 hours because all you do is just wander around Downtown Seattle with your horse finding some **** fuel for a generator. While most of the story is dog****, there are some high moments. The best moments are Ellie’s flashbacks with Joel, that is where it really feels just as amazing as the first one. Problem is, all those moments are spaced out between **** story moments.

    Most of the characters we know do some pretty stupid **** in this game. Like Tommy after talking with Ellie about the people responsible for Joel, he does a total 180 the next day and says “lock up Ellie if you have to, don’t let her come for me” not much is known about Tommy compared to Joel, but I am pretty **** sure that Tommy would instead go to Ellie’s house the next day ready and say **** this lets get these bastards”
    How **** cool would it be to have Tommy there with you, and he could act as a sort of voice of reason with Ellie once enough of the WLF are dead. She already has Dina to be her voice of reason, but it would be interesting to see Tommy just as bloodthirsty as Ellie and then say “they got what they deserved, we’re done here now and I’m fine with that” and Ellie refusing to let Abby get away with it. THAT would be interesting to see

    Now for Abby: I can see what they were going for, to make you say “she was wronged so she set out to resolve it” but it just does not work at all. It may work if there was more time spent with Abby before she kills Joel, like taking Abbys flashback with her dad and make that the beginning, that could make it a bit better. But in the game now, its just “oh this random ass person killed one of my favorite characters” and by the time it showed Abbys dad, it was already too far in the game for me to even give a **** Besides killing Joel, Abby is a pretty decent character. But I still did not give a single **** about any of her story parts because she is just introduced with killing Joel, which pissed me off immensely.

    As for the trans person, I’m fine with representation, but his entire character is “I’m trans and everybody wants to kill me because I’m trans” that is so **** lazy and I was extremely shocked how poorly that character was written

    I can’t recommend this game unless you are fully capable of turning your brain off and just enjoy the gameplay and visuals. Naughty Dog dropped a nuke on Nagasaki, and somebody needs to rewrite this because this story is unacceptable. Keep all the Ellie flashbacks and Abbys dad flashback, that was the only good Abby part. Make the trans person more than “I’m trans and everyone wants to kill me because I’m trans” take out the Abby gameplay segments, fix the pacing in the beginning of the game, and make the characters make rational decisions    … Expand

The game does what other games are afraid of, congratulations to the NaughtyDog for courage and unusual scenario. Graphics als always is beautiful. I can't wait for the multiplayer mode. It's still early, but I think that TLOU2 can be the game of the year. The music is great as usual. MyOmg, i LOVE the story, same as in the first part. This time is more hard and hard.

    This game has superseded its expectations in its innovation, gripping and moving storyline and visual splendour. The nay sayers are simply angry misogynistic lonely men who can’t stand the idea of true representation of under supported sectors of culture in their action games, ignore them completely

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Puedo entender la razón de porque a mucha gente no le gusto The Last of Us Parte II, ya que esta basado en un mundo crudo y realista, en donde tu personaje favorito puede cometer un pequeño error que le cueste la vida, pero tambien donde la muerte de cada personaje puede ser muy rapida, igual que en la vida real. Además del increible gameplay y graficos, este juego contiene, en mi opinion, una maravillosa historia en donde te muestran como Ellie llega a un punto donde tanto esfuerzo por cobrar venganza la agota y se ha dado cuenta que lo ha perdido todo. Un final mas acercado a la realidad dentro de un juego que sale de la historia tipica del heroe que logra ganarle a todo mal. Deja de lado todas las ideas que te hallan hecho de este juego y animate a probar una obra maestra más de Naughty Dog.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dislike this game. I won't give a higher score for game play, graphics, etc because those are to be expected as a natural part of development for this company. It'd be nothing more than a participation trophy. So my rating is based on the game as a whole. I don't know what happened here but you can feel the tug of war between the characters, world, and story. This amounted to plot holes and an overall feeling of detachment from the game/characters. It broke what I feel is taboo in story telling (though I know it's been done before) of killing a main character. Very sad effort. It also feels like things were being changed at late stages of production. The story here is just really poorly told. Sorry naughty dog but the final game really missed the mark. I won't be considering it part of the TLOU canon.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego tiene mecánicas parecidas a la anterior entrega, pero añade la de poder agacharse y disparar estando recostado, lo que nos permitirá utilizar el sigilo de una forma diferente.
    A nivel de historia nos centraremos en la venganza por acciones que realizo Joel a lo largo de su vida por lo que tarde o temprano se vería algo así, el problema que hay es que existen demasiadas casualidades convenientemente para el desarrollo de la historia, aunque durante el transcurso del juego se nos van dando indicios y pistas de como llegamos a encontrar a Joel. A lo largo del juego tratan de crear empatía con Abby, la antagonista de la historia sin embargo al tratarse de una secuela muchos estarán del lado de Joel y Ellie, además la forma tan chocante en que presenta a Abby hace muy difícil que sintamos algo de simpatía por ella.
    Gráficamente se ve muy bien con paisajes y escenarios gigantescos para que podamos explorar durante un buen tiempo, lo malo que solo ocurre en un par de capítulos y después volveremos al sistema de pasillos en el que debemos seguir en un camino para llegar del punto A al punto B.
    Los personajes carecen del carisma que tenían Joel y Ellie en la primera entrega y se nos presentan una Ellie más adulta y pareciera que más amargada y enojada, olivémonos de frases como “cielos Joel” y esto lo notaremos en un capítulo en el que controlaremos a Ellie más joven con sus bromas hacia Joel y comentarios propios de alguien de 14 años.
    El desenlace de la historio le resta puntos a todo lo que hemos hecho y nos damos cuenta de que no es una historia de venganza sino del perdón y como podemos perlo todo por perseguir un fin tan ruin. Todo esto estaría bien si durante todo el juego no nos la pasemos matando personajes que no tuvieron mucho que ver con la historia de venganza, incluso que gracias a ellos Ellie sigue con vida y el personaje por quien empezamos nuestra masacre decidimos simplemente perdonarle la vida.    … 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]
