    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you love TLOU because of the heartwarming feeling that the game gives you, then please don't get involved with TLOU2. If you are looking for generic gameplay, fantastic graphic, and some spice in the storyline (but still a wired choice), then this might be the game for you.
    For those who don't want to read a full review, you can look at my short summary here (or the full summary below):
    TLOU gives you violence, lies, and heartwarming feeling that emerge through the main characters' relationship.
    TLOU2 gives you violence, lies, (questionable) moral dilemma trick, and sad and gloomy story.

    ===========SPOILER AHEAD===========
    First, let's look at gameplay. I have to tell you guys that I didn't enjoy the gameplay of the first game. As you encounter the same enemy over and over again and your tactic revolved around sneak behind them and stealth kill, then re-establish your stealth again. There are some shooting in the game depending on how good your resource management is, but the gunplay itself feels clumsy to me. However, the game does provide you a vast variety of environments in each chapter as you go through the story but they don't change any aspect of the main tactic. I get bored in just 2 or 3 hours of the game and just wanted to rush to the next cutscene as fast as possible. TLOU2 still has the same gameplay with little to no refinement. For me, the overall experience of gameplay would be 4/10.

    ------- Graphic/Sound effect and ost/Voice actor -------
    We don't have to talk about any of this topic because they are AWESOME (10/10).

    ------- Story summary/Climax/Take away -------
    As you may see the game tries to get you to sympathize with both characters, shows you that the revenge only causes more damage to you and people around you, and forgiving can be a hard choice and even if you took the choice you still have to live with sorrow. Which might sound great for a game-takeaway right?
    Well, the thing that annoyed me is I don't understand why ND just ditch the plot that gives a heartwarming and good feeling (even though the world is cruel and violent) to the player in TLOU and changes it to a gloomy and sad storyline. I know this is subjective, but I did set my expectation for a whole different thing (Nevertheless, who am I to judge? It's a ND's game, not my game).
    Finally, the reason why I give this game a 5/10 game.
    As a story-driven game, the story itself should be the most important element. However, the ending, take-away, or whatever you might call it doesn't prove or justify any moral question. Because even if you (As Abby or Ellie) spare life of a villain to prove that there are some good deeds in the world (or in the character), it still doesn't hold the weight against the whole story. Let's think about it, we all know that every character in this game is evil right? They have to kill many other humans just to get what? Medicine, information, resources, you name it, or even just to cross the bridge. And they will likely continue their killing as the story goes by (or in TLOU3). Showing the player just one or two characters' revenge-forgiveness cycle just doesn't seem to make any sense in a game that you have to kill to proceed with the story. I'm pretty sure that all the people in the post-apocalypse world have their own "good" reason for their action and there will by Abby2, Abby3, Abby4, and many more. For me, to choose such a plot just to set up a cheap moral dilemma trick or make an ending seem awesome to some audience proves that the writer is very incompetent. He/She might get blind from how good he/she might think the story is, then overlooked or unable to realize the main gameplay or the whole world of the game.
    My brother said to me after we finished the game: What's the point of spending a 20-ish hour in this revenge plot as there are many more to come for revenge.
    Me: Drove off for trade-in TLOU2.

    Lastly, This game can never be a 10/10 (do you think the witcher3 is a joke?) neither 0/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La gente quería venganza, eso es lo que promociono siempre naughty dog desde el teaser trailer, la trama es MUY lenta, no cumple con la promesa de ser una secuela que es sacar dudas del primer juego, la muerte de Joel fue un detonante de tanta polémica, lo matan muy rápido y sin ninguna razón que te la dan hasta 6 horas más del juego, el objetivo de esto es darte odio a los antagonistas, querer siempre la venganza que tanto te promocionaron por tanto tiempo, la historia de Ellie es buena, va bien, pero simplemente cuando te toca jugar con abby te hartas sabiendo que tendrás que jugar 8 horas con este personaje que te mete en asuntos que al propio jugador no le importan, esta bien que te hagan empatizar con el antagonista, pero enserio no era necesario 8 HORAS DE ESTAR JUGANDO CON EL ANTAGONISTA, te quita la narrativa de estar jugando con Ellie. En cada momento que estaba jugando con abby solo quería que acabara para poder seguir jugando con Ellie, cuando por fin llegamos al 4to día, me di cuenta que ya llegamos al final del juego, no se cumple con la promesa de cobrar venganza, claro que esto iba enfurecer a todos, el final es a la vez lenta y rápida, de Seattle te llevan a una granja donde ya Ellie y Dina viven felices, luego Ellie se arrepiente y decide ir a matarla por venganza porque se quedó con el remordimiento de no haberla matado, vuelve a hacer todo un viaje para no matarla, justo cuando la tiene en sus manos para acabarla, decide perdonarla y dejarla ir, por mí este es buen final, la gente no se lo tomo bien por el simple hecho de que a nadie le gusto la narrativa de abby, a nadie le importo su personaje por hartar a la mayoría de los espectadores, la solución de esto pudo haber sido acortar su jugabilidad y contar lo necesario de abby para empatizar con ella, pero como dije decidieron alargarla para que “empaticemos” más con ella pues no funcionó por el simple hecho de alargar, como por ejemplo ya estas harto de leer esto porque está crítica es muy larga (Gracias por llegar hasta acá). La muerte de Joel fue demasiado rápida, siempre pensamos que podríamos incluso tener un poco de jugabilidad con el, pero su muerte fue demasiado apresurada ya que naughty dog quizo que fuera el detonante del odio a abby y su grupo, la mayoría odio esto (me incluyo) por darnos muy poco tiempo con Joel, claro que hubo buenos flashbacks con el pero queríamos un presente con el, puede que sea obvio que iba morir pero lo hubieran hecho al menos a la mitad o más adelante de la historia, no tengo idea de cómo concluir esto pero es más que entendible porque la gente odia esto, por simple hecho de no cumplir con lo que se esperaba y prometió el final de la primera parte. La jugabilidad es buena, no muy diferente a la primera pero si superior, en cuanto gráficos exprime todo el poder de la PS4 así como lo hizo la primera parte con la PS3, animaciones perfectas y expresiones faciales que sorprenden incluso a los ya experimentados con las gráficas realistas, muchísimo más brutal y realista a la primera parte. En resumen y conclusión: naughty dog se esforzó demasiado para hacer perfección que lo terminaron haciendo una decepción. Expand

    The game begins to be boring in the second half, while playing for Abby. I was expecting another from the game. Open world is not open (center of Seattle). For me, the game ended on day three in Seattle for Ellie. Everything that happens after (Farm) is not even like The last of us. For me, 1 part remains the best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gave 9 points to the first game. I like first part and it was great experience. But the story in this game broke my heart..in bad way. I'm disappointed, upset..even more. The First 10 hours of it were brilliant, yeah the story of Ellie is interesting, strange and beautiful. But..we have a huge "But" and it is the story of another character. I understand why Druckmann wanted make such a story what he wanted to show to players. In my opinion he failed, he couldn't make me love this new character(and as i see thousands of other players), for many reasons. Why is Abby such a huge piece of meat, such stupid girl with ridiculous behavior. Right from the start of the game the authors show us that she and her friends are just brutal maniacs, who want to attack Jackson, further they kill Ellie's best friend. And after that Druckmann want me to play for this piece of **** for 15 hours, without strong plot and without a normal explanation why i must play for that character. After these 15 hours of humiliation i also had to strangle my favorite character(i mean when Abby strangles Ellie and i must push buttons to do it). Why?(( Eventually i even can't get revenge for death of Joel (also my favorite hero). So I hate the second part of this game. I can give 10 points for good graphics, music, atmosphere, beautiful views, marvelous mechanics and brutal and nice killing of enemies, 9 points for the first part of this game (journey of Ellie, Dina and other her friends) and 1 point for the second part and playing for Abby.
    In total I give it 5 points. This is the most disgusting game for ps4 in my opinion. I wish Sony hadn't created this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En el apartado jugable, visual, las expresiones de la cara... todo eso sería para poner un 10 al juego. Donde el juego baja 5 puntos es en la historia. Soy fan del primero, por eso, al matarte a Joel en la primera hora de juego es un error muy grande. Te hacen querer al personaje de Abby cuando desde el principio ya sabes que le vas a tener manía. Y todo el resto del juego... hay momentos muy disfrutables matando gente, infectados, huidas muy bien hechas, momentos frenéticos... podemos disfrutar todo eso ( resalto la parte de criticar Jurassic Park 2, me encanta jeje). Pero la historia está vacía. Muchos ratos parece un culebrón, te matan personajes de repente, agujeros de guión, decisiones de personajes que no entiendes... y del final del juego...mejor no hablamos. Acabas con amargura y pena, muy diferente de cuando acabamos el primero. Larga vida a The last of us Parte 1 Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The reason why i have given this game such a low score is due to the false advertising at the teasing of this game where they blatantly used Joel in their trailers making the whole last of us community believe that he would join Ellie's journey but they instead swap these cinematics with Jesse, which is just a another way they destroyed their own reputation. Additionally, the only critic that give the best response with constructive criticism is IGN Japan, the gameplay of this game is fantastic but the story is the heart and soul of the game and that's completely destroyed by politics which the last game did not blatantly push in your face. i can see why Naughty dog lost a large amount of its employees one of my speculations is probably because the writer and director Neil Druckmann can not take any constructive criticism but would rather call you a bigot or would just rather just take all the positive reviews. The game purposely wants to do a parallel between Ellie and Abby but it just does not sick together its just too forced and ruins the flow of the story. Finally, Abby kills Joel even though he saves her life without hesitation but when i comes to Lev and Yara they save her life but hesitate at the start but she spares them and helps them at the end, even though they have probably killed countless numbers of the WLF and her friends this is a plot hole which makes no sense at all. It would probably be better if they just left the last of us franchise alone instead of destroying it with every political statement. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Took my time to finish the game and I was disappointed with the story and the ending. Game play, graphics are very good 8/10. Story is a 2/10 and that is me being very generous. Killing off Joel is very disrespectful to the character and the players. I don't have a problem with having him die at some point but the way they did it was bad. If they just made last of us part 2 about Abby and Lev's relationship , I think the story would've been a lot better. They could've taken this game to so many directions, but they simply chose the wrong one. A major disappointment after waiting for 7 years. I would've gave this game a 1/10 if I was reviewing it based only on story. But I had "fun" with the gameplay, only. Jump scares and action was great...I don't think I would play a Last of Us part 3 if they decide to continue the story, Because I really don't have any connection with Abby and based on the ending, I don't care about Ellie as well. It was done poorly. RIP Joel... Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really can't give this game more than a 5 I really can't. To kill of such an important character in the first two hours was just...
    The fact that Joel got killed with a golfstick makes it even worse. The false advertisment, the story, the ending, everything about this story sucked. What? Ellie wants to get revenge on Abby and in the end she doesn't even do it. But before that she kills, pregnant woman, innocent people etc.
    The character development just sucks, honestly. In the first game, Joel was this very cautious guy, who didn't trust anybody and now he just gets in a room with people he doesn't know and even tells them that they can restock at their base. It just does not make sense. Honestly, at some point I felt forced finish it, because I already bought it.
    The game jjst didn't maje any sense. It just wasn't fun at all. The fact that in the end of the game everybody leaves Ellie and she is alone is just... depressing. That's all I can say about this game.

    Neil Druckmann you had the opportunity to make at least 4 million users a great gaming experience. But you choose to make the worst storry you have ever made. Wrong arguments, wrong story, wrong new characters. This game sold that many copies just for the frist game, this one is dissapointing and has a worse end than game of thrones for sure.

    Технически игра превосходна, старушка PS4 оказывается еще может показывать такую красоту, лицевые анимации пожалуй лучшие среди всего, что я видел, а геймлей стал более разнообразным и динамичным. За техническую сторону игра получает максимальный балл, это как раз то, что мы и ждали.

    Технически игра превосходна, старушка PS4 оказывается еще может показывать такую красоту, лицевые анимации пожалуй лучшие среди всего, что я видел, а геймлей стал более разнообразным и динамичным. За техническую сторону игра получает максимальный балл, это как раз то, что мы и ждали.

    Теперь о самом больном - о сюжете. Если кратко и без спойлеров, то в первые полчаса игра плюет всем фанатам прошлой серии в лицо. Такой ход режиссер объясняет желанием сделать совсем другую игру, которая рассказывает совсем другую историю. Но стараясь отдалиться от первой части изо всех сил Дракманн в результате добивается самого страшного - он теряет связь с самим игроком. Дальнейшее происходящее вокруг иначе как фарсом назвать нельзя, все ключевые решения персонажей вызывают множество вопросов. Не имея точки опоры среди имеющихся героев игрок превращается в отстраненного наблюдателя. Игра теряет именно то чувство единения с игровыми персонажами, за которое и полюбили первую часть. Новые герои не вызывают симпатии, те, которые могли бы ее вызвать в перспективе, остаются недосточно раскрытыми, хотя игра более чем продолжительная (25 часов игрового времени). Тот самый "великий смысл", который Дракманн силой запихал в игру в виде осознания того, к чему приводит круговорот мести, как чужеродное тело нарушает логику повествования и идет поперек со здравым смыслом. Всю игру я мечтал только об одном - хоть бы весь этот происходящий вокруг бред был просто сном Элли. Но увы, это все и есть вторая часть, которую некоторые ждали 7 лет.

    При этом в предательских трейлерах создатели осознанно формировали ожидания совсем иного продукта. Фактически они манипулировали ожиданиями фанатов, давая им надежду прикоснуться к тем заветным эмоциям, которые подарила первая часть. И моменты возврата к прошлому действительно в игре есть, но увы не в той форме и не в той продолжительности как хотелось бы игрокам. Самое страшное, что эти моменты возврата к прошлому и являются самой сильной частью игры. Такое ощущение, что их делала другая команда разработчиков. Они как бы надсмехаются над игроком, показывая то, какой могла бы стать игра, если бы Дракманн поставил бы на первое место конечного потребителя продукта, а не свое собственное эго.

    Если судить объективно, то я бы поставил этой игре 10 за техническую часть и 0 за сюжет. Итого 5 баллов. Но если бы кто-то дал мне такую возможность, я бы заплатил за эту игру еще столько же, чтобы стереть из памяти то, что я прошел.

    I loved the first game with all my heart. So much so that I considered naming my child after the characters. A ground breaking moment in video game story telling that has since set the bar for all other video games and there hasn’t been a video game since then that has come close to it in my opinion. Including this game. This game will not only live in its predecessors shadow forever butI loved the first game with all my heart. So much so that I considered naming my child after the characters. A ground breaking moment in video game story telling that has since set the bar for all other video games and there hasn’t been a video game since then that has come close to it in my opinion. Including this game. This game will not only live in its predecessors shadow forever but it will always be remembered, by me at least, as a hideous black mark left upon the face of what could have easily been one of the greatest video game franchises of all time. Being such a die hard fan when the leaks happened I naturally championed and defended the game as much as I possibly could for a month or so before it came out and unfortunately I’ll be eating all those words and then some. This game isn’t “woke” trash like it was made out to be. What this game actually is, from the story perspective, is a completely convoluted, contrived, ass backwards mess. This game was simply put together wrong. We are constantly asked to disband our belief through out the entire game for the sake of a story that is sub par at best. We are introduced to new characters through out the entire game and are asked to care about them just to have them die at an instant just so we have a route to the next section of this misguided mess of a game. The characters that return from the first game all act COMPLETELY out of character throughout the entirety of the game and on top of that the writing of these once beloved characters are treated with such tasteless disregard that by the end of the game I could not stand Ellie. The characters we got in the first are not what you get in the second. For what reason? Because revenge is bad? So in order to get that message across to us you have to completely rewrite established characters in to senseless, soulless, mindless killing machines? And then there’s Abby. I actually liked Abby unlike most people. The problem I have with her is more of the garbage pacing this game has to do with her rather than her herself. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this was put together completely backwards. I give Naughty Dog credit for trying to do something different but I also shame them for falling on their face and doing a complete disservice to the franchise and the fans. Yes, this is the best looking video game I have ever seen and I feel sorry for all of the extremely talented people who spent years putting this together (outside of the writers) and yes, there was parts of the story I did enjoy and the game play is good too. But you can only ask so much from your fans while you spit on them and the characters they love for 25 hours. Expand

Great graphics, some nice new touches, some nerve gripping moments but ultimately all drowned out by a game that has put politics and a politic view of the director on gender equality and feminism centre stage at the sake of a video game. The game could of gone a thousand ways but ambushed its fans with a misleading trailer and the death of a major character two hours in for the political message. The heart breaking. Politics should take a back foot back seat role in video games. Let games be engaging emotionally but don't make them unbearable. Expand

    El problema esta en la forma, hay maneras mas heroicas para ponerle fin a la historia de un Texas Ranger como lo es Joel, solo lo humillaron y torturaron.. hicieron nada de su mejor personaje.
    Este juego es quizá el mejor en jugabilidad detalles, la cuerda que es una obra maestra, como se oculta Ellie es una maravilla. Ni que decir de los enfrentamientos, son lo mejor que he visto. El como suplican los personajes es un detalle increible. Es una pena que todo ese trabajo se venga abajo por tratar mal a uno de sus mejores personajes. Al final, el juego cumple su proposito, te hace sentir rabia, colera, ganas de romper tu televisor, pero vamos, si querian hacer una obra de arte debieron tratar mas a los personajes, a todos nosotros que amamos el primer juego nos dispararon un escopetazo en la rodilla y luego nos torturaron con un palo de golf. Sensaciones horribles, esta bien el juego trasmite mucho, pero si te va a trasmitir rabia por matar algo que querias, prefiero jugar la 1 mil veces antes que esta cagada. Perfecta jugabilidad y detalles echados a la basura, que ganas de querer experimentar con todo lo hecho, finalmente echaron todo a la basura.
    Ahora no nos va a gustar, pero con el tiempo habra mas gente que la quiera, este es un mensaje un poco mas empatico para los productores, TLOU2 envejecerá mejor que la 1, este juego al pasar de los años ganara aceptacion, pero no esperen amor a este juego, porque para procesar la decisión que tomaron con la historia va a requerir tiempo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alot of people who played this when it first came out 7 years ago on playstation 3 couldn't have asked for a better story driven game. That however is not the case with The last of us part 2. It has already been said so many times but how do you mess up so badly on a game that had potential to go so many different ways than what it got. I didn't look at any spoilers at all until after I was done with the game and by then I understood why people were upset, some maybe a bit more than others but I understood. What annoyed me the most throughout the game was that everything seemed somewhat predictable, the banter that Joel and Ellie had in the first game is non-existent in this game with Dina and Jesse it all felt so unnatural and you just didn't feel anything for these characters as you did with for example Sam and Henry in the first game. I actually had to stop playing for a few mins when Sam and Henry died because I was genuinely shocked in the way it was executed. The way Joel died was pathetic and stupid and I was honestly left emotionless with his death, I was in such huge disbelief that they killed him off in such a pathetic way. Hell i'm still in disbelief about the entire game and that this is what we got after waiting for 7 years. We didn't need to play as Abby for 10+ hours, you could've taken that time and put in some more screentime with Joel and Ellie. So why is it still a 5/10, well because I do believe that gameplay and graphics matter to a certain degree and the story was bad there isn't any doubt about it but it still made me feel a few things along the way. There were some great moments where naughty dog really managed to capture the horror aspect of the game. I was constantly sitting and asking myself ''when do the stalkers from the first game show up ?'' and they didn't let me down there. The infected in the game is a solid upgrade from the first game and combat overall felt good. However with that said what we got after waiting for 7 years could've been done alot better and it really makes me sad as a massive fan to the last of us 1 to say, we probably would've been better off without having to witness this story.

I dont know how many times i have finished last of us part 1. I bought it for both ps3 and ps4. Also bought all the uncharteds for both ps3 and for ps4 again. I put this information right here to show that i am in love with what naught dogs make.

    Last of us part 2 is a marvel on technological level. Every minute of it on my screen looked astonishing. Details are over the charts. It might be the most "quality" game ever. I liked the half part of the story too. I love Joel but he had to go. He was a villain in the first game and he still was a villain in the second game. He doomed humanity for his selfish agenda. So no i am not mad about Joel dying in a gruesome way. I am mad about naught dogs trying to lecture us with its agenda. I dont play games to listen to your agenda no matter which which part you are serving. It is a 10/10 game but i am giving it a 5 so that naughty dogs might see that we are not buying their products to listen to their real life politics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tremenda jugabilidad y los detalles son increíbles, pero la historia fue muy mal dirigida. Un personaje de ese calibre no puede morir así y jugar tantas horas con Abby ya uno odiándola por matar a Joel fue horrible 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]
