    The game is awesome! Passed it in one breath. I want to note that there is NO propaganda of homosexuality. The plot is really far from the atmosphere of the first part, but with its unsurpassed chips and unique gameplay. If you cast aside all your prejudices, then you will get unforgettable pleasure from the passage. I strongly recommend it to everyone!

    The game is huge and in a technical section it is brutal, beyond the forced situations of the characters in terms of inclusion, the story is very good and knows how to play with you, an emotional experience that made you feel something, whatever you say.

    The game was fun, the story was ok, the fighting was fantastic and the horror was immense, let down by being slightly too long - the baby parts would have worked better if we JUST had her flashbacks, its worth a play, an overall great game but not as classic as the first one

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I cannot understand the disappointment of the players.
    the graphics and game mechanics are great. the story and characters have been implemented very, very well. don't listen to the hater but make your own picture. Worth it! I warn here again about spoilers! So don't read on if you haven't finished the game.

    The story is amazing. told very emotional and great.

    Many complain about Joel's death. but I think his part is just finished. he is old and has told his story. I also found it appropriate to play Abby, because you could see everything from her perspective and understood why she did it.

    this gives the story a moral struggle. on the one hand you want to kill with ellie Abby on the other hand you want to keep abby alive. Abby is actually very emotional and personable. it was very hard to see them fighting ... mega! i can't understand the hatred for abby. all this hatred of abby and the developers are not good. let people live as they want!

    thank you for this game, thank you for this experience.    … Expand

The way this game made me go from loathing Abby to, at the end, begging the game to let me not fight or kill her is really a master class in story telling. 10/10, the only negative is that sometimes the game play elements are too long. A few hours of stealth game play could have been cut with no loss to quality.… Expand

    Before attempting to review this game, I'd like to say that The Last of Us is my favorite game of all time.  I have various collector’s editions, copies of the game for both consoles, and posters on my wall.  I admit my bias from the outset.  I also admit to never wanting a sequel because I was afraid that nothing would live up to the original.

    Graphics:  10/10
    I’m not sure anyone can objectively state that the graphics are anything short of spectacular - easily one of the best-looking games of this generation.  On my PS4 Pro, the game ran at a smooth 30FPS @ 4k resolution; however, I recall two moments during my first play-through where I noticed a slight frame-rate slowdown.  Neither of these were during action sequences and were only slightly noticeable, so the game gets a pass from me on this.  

    If the environment isn’t enough to justify the score, then consider the motion capture and facial animations.  You can feel the emotions of every character - something this game demands as part of the story.  I’ve completed two full play-throughs and replayed various chapters.  Last night, I loaded up The Last of Us Remastered for comparison.  The improvements are remarkable (I should note it that TLoU was a PS3 game originally).

    Sound:  10/10
    Again, I’m not sure how anyone can consider the sound and music as anything short of phenomenal.  Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker return as Ellie and Joel.  As expected, they have unforgettable performances.  In additional to their vocal performances, each were called upon to sing multiple songs in character and adding new depth to their characters.  Does Laura Bailey (Abby) ever give poor performances?  If she does, it wasn’t in this game.  Victoria Grace (Yara) and Ian Alexander (Lev) are fantastic additions to the cast.

    Gustavo Santaolalla returns to the series with another wonderfully atmospheric soundtrack.  Bottom line - if you like the music in the first game, then you should love it in this one.

    Story & Replayability:  10/10
    The Last of Us Part II is like nothing that I have ever played.  It is highly emotional and thought provoking journey.  I’m a middle-aged man, and I have no problems telling you I cried like a baby multiple times during this game.

    This game isn’t for everyone.  If you are looking for pure fun, which many argue is the point of video games, this may not be a title for you.  If you aren’t willing to reflect on the journey once it is over, this may not be the game for you.  If empathy or putting yourself in someone else’s shoes is not your thing, this may not be the game for you.  If you knew what you wanted out of Part II before its release, it may disappoint you.  If you come in expecting more of the same, you may not like this game.  The writers and developers told the story they wanted to tell - whether or not that is what you wanted.  I appreciate their fortitude.

    In terms of replayability, I find this to be even more subjective than the story.  There is no doubt in my mind that some people will enjoy this game, but never want to play it again because the story is so emotionally intense.  Others, like me, will play this game repeatedly.  For me, the game would be worth the $60 price tag even if I only played it once.

    Summary
    Let me get straight to the point - I have a new favorite game of all time, and it is The Last of Us Part II.  Frankly, don’t care if it is a popular opinion or not.  Art is subjective.  If you elect to play the game, just be sure to finish it before casting your final judgement.    … Expand

    Extremely fun to play. The gameplay is honestly one of the best i've ever played imo. Also, kudos for all the accessibility options, that is indeed impressive.

    Story wise, however, it fails at some very basic stuff. Don't lie in the trailer: Joel's line "Do you think I'd let you do this by yourself" never made it into the actual game. I don't need to say anything else. Don't make    Extremely fun to play. The gameplay is honestly one of the best i've ever played imo.

    Don't make a game about vengeance and violence if you're going to skip the part trauma part. In interviews that surfaced after the release of the game Neil mentioned removing some scenes that explored Ellie's PTSD because "it didn't fit into the flow of the game" and that's honestly idiotic. The game has 28h+, it's split in two halves and it has lots of flashbacks. There was enough time to do character development right. If you think showing trauma ruins the rhythm of your game then you shouldn't tell these kinds of stories @Neil.

    Not exploring Ellie's trauma and doubts better made this a very tone deaf game. So she's fine murdering dozens of people who have nothing to do with her quest for revenge and only struggles with the ones that do? This should've been explored way better. There were some entries in her journal that somewhat tapped into that, but not near enough. This is honestly something that should've been "show not tell".

    Anyways, even with all those problems it's still fun to play and that's honestly what I look for in games. I've played and enjoyed games that have worse stories.    … Expand

    Muitas pessoas podem detestar o desfecho final da história por não ser o que eles esperam, mas isso não quer dizer que seja mal feito, ao meu ver os desenvolvedores queriam passar uma mensagem de como o ódio e a vingança destroem você e isso eles passaram com maestria.

Graphically, I feel like Naughty Dog has accomplished a monumental task,capping the generation with a landmark title yet again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. yo empese a jugar videojuegos con the last of us parte 1y se volvio mi videojuego favorito. 6 años creo que pasaron, di go la verdad cuando vi el primer trailer de ellie cantando, yo llore, de felicidad, cuando salio el the last of us part 2 cuando lo compre y vi la muerte de joel, llore por ellie pero tambien a mi me dolio porque como dijo joel, cruzas medio pais con alguien esa persona se vuelve familia. me enfade con nauthydog y con migo. obtuve un gran odio fuel la primera vez que quise golpear y matar a una mujer. los personajes me gustaron jessy principalmente, pero como an de saber his end. hay mi odio hacia abby crecio enormemente. Cuando supe porque habia matado a joel lo entendi no solo por su dolor sino porque senti como si yo lo hubiera asesinado. Cuando abby llega al teatro, yo estava mal triste, when abby kill tommy. Llore de odio y culpa. cuándo veo lo que es como el final llore porque me senti vacio. me senti vacio porque no pude vengarme. de protnto veo tommy sonreí, lk que timmy le dijo a ellie senti como si yo se lo ubiera dicho, porque en verdad crei que ellie ya no queria vengar a joel. el final no fue si dulce ni agrio fue agridulce, yo cuando vi a abby en el agua mientras ellie la estaba ahogando me decia tienes que parar, tenia que para porque ellie ya obtuvo su vengansa ella obtubo su vengansa porque abby no tiene nada sus amigos so smante su grupo todos murieron o la matan al verla. mi opinion fianl del juego es que no se merece para nada las puntuaciones que le dieron la historia no es tan buena como el primero, solo se que el juego me cambio y me hiso mejor persona. No le hagan caso a los heaters porque para jugar este juego tienes que tener al menos 2 neuronas de frente y la capacidad de perdonar. Ota cosa que me gusto es que es muy realista solo con venganza atraes mas muerte y mas venganza que hubiera pasado si ellie asesinaba a abby alli el chico se repetiria lo mismo todo denuevo sin duda el mejor juego del año . Otra cosa los que dicen que este juego es malo porque no lo es tengo dos rasones por la que son asi y sus padres son primos o hermanos dejando las bromas al lado solo los que lo juagron jugar no ver en youtibe ni que otro te diga tuenes que jugarlo solo ellos tienen el derecho o lpiniones validas en estas paginas porque por ejemplo amo hod of war pero no lo jugue y digo que no sirve porque si bueno mejor paro de hablar de esas personas que lla llevó 2442 de lestras y lla me estan entrando ganas de volver a jugar y de vomitar para los que hablan mal sin sentido del juego aunque entiendo su odio perobdecir que es una mierda solo porque si, y tambien me molestan los que empesaron a jugar the last of us hace un mes y dan opiniones como si llevaran 7 años con esta gran historia… 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.

    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.
