    Naughty Dog lied to us. The final game is very different from the E3 2019 trailer. This is unforgivable.

    Incredibly crafted and a great sequel that visits the harsh reality of the world in The Last of Us. The game takes risks that pay off but also allows the player to question their own morals whilst following this journey.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. in order to fix this game and actually make the story work all they had to do was replace Joel with Dina and make Joel die a heroic death saving Ellie from one of the factions from the story while in pursuit for Dina's killer making Joel's death so much more impactful to then go and avenge both Ellie's lover and father figures deaths. but at the same time without turning to the killer's point of view so it's just a story from Ellies' perspective. also, make Ellie meet lev and he's older sister and work them into Ellies' story as they felt like a good edition from a character perspective but need plot tweaks. that's it really, the game itself is visually stunning and the gameplay felt really good but unfortunately, the story denies any success from everyone else's hard work to make the game achieve legendary status. The ending would need to change so that Ellie gets her revenge which gives the player meaning to carry on to the end.

    personally I couldn't care less about the inclusion of LGBTQ characters as long as it feels natural and doesn't feel like they were placed into a game just for the sake of ticking boxes. As a gamer, I don't want to see political agendas in a game I just want to enjoy the story/gameplay for example if Abby's dad was a bodybuilder and she wanted to take after her dad then that's more natural and would make sense after her loss but currently, I can't think of any reason why she would become the hulk in a world of harsh survival and scarce resources.    … Expand

    I'm writing this review in hopes the games gets the praise it deserves.
    Graphics are phenomenal, the best of the best on the current gen, the attention to detail, the lighting, the shading, the effects, e v e r y t h i n g.
    Music fits perfectly with everything, the sound is also really realistic and well made.

    Where people seem to have an issue with is how the story is tailored, people were expecting good old Ellie and Joel adventure, and the game would've been just fine had they done it this way, but Naughty Dog chose the uncommon way, taking a lot of risks and, in my opinion, succeeding at it.
    Naughty Dog picks the story 4 years after the first one in a setting where everything seems to be fine, playing the guitar with joel etc.
    They introduce us to another character - Abby - which is majorly the reason people are despising this game.
    Abby kills Joel and that fact alone pushed a lot of people away, people reviewing the game by playing only about 3h of a 30+hour game
    After the death of joel the people who kept playing experienced the violent and gorish side of Ellie, and her pursuit to kill Abby, but, at some point Abby has the upper hand on Ellie and the developers leave you on a huge cliffhanger "is Ellie dead??" and right then an there you enter a 10hour long Abby side of the story, this reeeeally threw people off, why would you want to play as the person who killed you beloved joel? And even in my case i didn't want to play as her, all i wanted was Ellie and more Ellie and moments of her and Joel and violence and her killing Abby, BUT at some point you gain empathy with Abby, you understand her side, the whole story of her and the "scars" children is one of the more rich aspects of the whole last of us story.
    After the whole Abby arc you get back to where Abby confronted Ellie and this part is like Naughty Dog is just completely playing with the heart of the player, you get put in a position like no other where you have to sneak up on Ellie and just destroy her with punches about 3 times, this scene alone invokes feeling I have NEVER felt in a videogame before "i dont wanna do this WTF??" but at the same you know the things Abby has gone through because of Joel and Ellie's decisions. At the end Abby leaves Ellie alone and we get a time skip to Ellie living in a perfect setting with DIna, the "happy ending" right? Hell no, Naughty Dog is not done, they push it further, Ellie leaves the house at some point against Dina's request to stay by her side with the baby. We enter the final arc, Ellie pursues Abby to the place she and the "scar" kid were kidnapped to.
    The moment they meet again Abby is just DONE, skinny-short-haired abby doesn't even care about anything other than getting away with the kid. Ellie has a flashback of her murdering joel and they begin the final confrontation, but ellie has another flashback of joel playing the guitar and that triggers a thought of caring for someone, Abby caring for this kid like joel cared for Ellie, and then they go their separate ways.
    The game ends with Ellie getting to her "perfect" home again but it is empty besides her stuff, she picks up the guitar and starts playing the song that Joel taught her in the beginning of the game but it sounds a bit off due to the two bitten of fingers. She then leaves the home like some kind of open ending "where will she go and what will happen now?".

    Last of Us II is by no means a perfect game, i think the story could've been tailored just a bit differently and the gameplay could've been more innovative, but that doesn't mean it is not a amazing, like the first game you still feel the same emotions, but they added a lot more and gave steroids to every each one of it.

    The Last of Us II is a game that will be remembered forever, many many people don't like getting played with their emotions this way, but if you open your mind and get past through that uncomfortableness you SEE the amazing game it is, you understand the choices of the developers and you get something like no other game does.

    I enjoyed the Game very much. The Story isn‘t meant to be satisfying, I get that much. It hurts at times. Yeah you hate some characters but thats Part of Every story. At least in the end it was an experience. Cant hate a Game for that. And all the gamers who consider themselves betrayed should just let it be and focus on bashing the next game.

    Pretend can't be real. If game try to show the best of itself, it can be great masterpiece but if game pretend itself as a art-house movie it cannot be not only art-house movie but also great game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a player who finished the 1st TLOU and bought the remastered again because i love it so much. I'm more then dissapointed in this one.
    The story is incredible dull and wants you to love characters that destroy the things you loved about the first one.
    They make you play the story and let's you feel bad for doing so. Just a poor writing story wise.
    On the bright side, the visuals are stunning but that's pretty much the only good thing about this game.
    Nothing new on gameplay mechanics, you can jump but you really don't need it.
    I finished it and glad i did it so fast so i could still sell the game at this point. Kinda sad about it actually, i legit loved the story, characters and the overall feel on the last of us part 1. We can all hope there will be no part 3.    … Expand

Joel gets killed straight away (the relationship was what made the first game interesting), there's zero chemistry between Ellie and Dina (it feels like the relationship is forced in to earn equality points), you're forced to play as Abby (when we've spent the first 13 hours building up hatred towards her).

    I'm glad I'm only watching the game and haven't given them any money for this garbage.
    The graphics look impressive though.    … Expand

    I loved every second of this game. I actually laugh at the number of bad reviews by people who clearly didn’t play the full game, or at all. How do you revies a story that takes 24+ hours to complete on the day of release? Makes no sense. Anyhow, this game is amazing, but very dark, expect a slur of emotions throughout.

The ending was extremely dark and depressing, so hoping it is a set up for a third game. To give fans a better end to the story. Overall its a great game, the story is way better than people give it credit for, very deep, emotional, and sad. Its 100% worth playing, but you may not want to experience it a second time around.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este juego se merece el 4,7 que tiene. Nunca vi una secuela con una historia tan pretenciosa como lo es esta, es una lástima por el departamento de arte, banda sonora, programadores y gameplay, porque todo su esfuerzo cae en saco roto. También es vergonzoso y ridículo la manipulación de la prensa antes y después del lanzamiento, vendiendo el juego como la segunda venida de Cristo y descalificando a los inconformes con la historia (independientemente de la sexualidad de los personajes) como "homofobicos" (Ej: Alvaro Castellano)
    El argumento general que plantea Tlou 2 es bueno (no original, pero bueno), y es ejecutado de forma desastrosa y carente de sentido, reemplazando el realismo por el gore en donde se nota demasiado las conveniencias que el guión toma para que ocurran las cosas.
    Comienzo a enumerar los puntos que me desconforman:
    1) La manipulación de ND: Vendieron el Videojuego diciendo que solo jugaríamos con Ellie, donde Joel lo acompañaría en la travesía, luego la censura y el Cruch, si queres dar un mensaje de empatía y perdon, sugiero que empieces con tus propios trabajadores.
    2) La muerte de Joel: Medio internet ya explico lo absurda y conveniente que es la muerte de este personaje, es conveniente, vagamente escrita, y un truco barato y de lo más vomitivo que vi hacer a cualquier personaje principal, solo para que pueda avanzar la historia
    3) La inclusión LGBT: A NADIE LE IMPORTA, TODOS SABÍAMOS QUE ELLIE ERA LESBIANA DESDE EL PRIMER JUEGO, DEJEN DE TAPAR NUESTRA INCONFORMIDAD CON LA ESCUSA BARATA DE "SON HOMOFOBICOS"
    5) 10 hs con Abby: Neil Druckmann gana el premio a la forma menos original de tratar de hacernos empatizar con un personaje, forzado es poco.
    4) El final: Sumamente contradictorio, sin sentido y manipulador... pero no pienso perder mi tiempo con eso, solo voy a dejar en claro el mensaje del juego:
    -El mensaje Segun Neil Druckmann: "La venganza es mala"
    -El mensaje real: Abby completa su venganza (en una escena vomitiva) y todo le sale a pedir de boca, termina como un personaje redimido, nunca aprende de sus errores y al final es perdonada para marcharse con la única persona que quiere más que a nada. Ellie no se venga porque... flashback de 3 segundos y... todo perdonado, además pierde sus dedos, su motivo para luchar y vivir, toda su gente, todo el esfuerzo fue en vano (siendo que mato a una embarazada y cientos de personas, además de torturar, osea, en el primer juego mato a una persona a machetazos). MENSAJE: "Vengarse es bueno, asegúrate de no dejar a nadie vivo mi rey", PATÉTICO.
    Todos mis mas grandes respetos a los departamentos de ND por su magistral trabajo, excepto para el departamento de guión.    … 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]
