    I played the Last of Us 4 times since the release, and I absolutely loved the game from game mechanics to the story. The first game wasn't really light in terms of story, but the second one definitely has a lot heavier subject, and it was really emotionally hard to play it especially towards the end.

    Gran historia, aunque el final es un poco turbio y quedó a deber, la historia guía al jugador a adentrarse al juego
    La narrativa muy buena junto con una banda sonora adecuada y gráficos y jugabilidad excelente

    This game is a masterpiece, it's as simple as that. Some people wanted to hate this game before it came out but have no idea.

    I really liked this game, and I'm not going to give my reasons because people are still stupid and didn't understand the end of the game and all the context that it has

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was an amazing experience from start to finish. I felt a range of emotions as I journeyed across the game. Those who are confused or dislike the story have their own opinion but I am so glad to see others understand the complex story that Naughty Dog has presented with this game. If you don’t care about the story, the game has other attributes that make it an outstanding masterpiece. For instance, updated graphics, gameplay mechanics and a whole sort of new additives that come in many more forms that you will find as you play. I wanted to say that I played the original game and fell in love with the world and the characters and it’s this love that I have for the game that helped me to get past the spoilers and the hateful comments to that went against it after the leak. And I was so happy that I chose to play the game despite the leak because the leaks no not show or depict the game in full. Lastly, I would also like to mention that it takes an open mind coming into this game like it does for most things in life but it truly does reward you for your open mindedness by delivering a thoughtful and well written paralleled story. Abby is justified in her actions, Joel is justified in his and so is Ellie in the end with hers. Everyone has two sides to them, a good side and a bad one. No one is perfect. Except, this game... this game is perfect. GO PLAY IT !!!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of us parte 2... el juego que muchos como yo estuvo esperando por años... tras tanta espera está aquí, al parecer Ellie vive muy bien pero debe de abandonar su pueblo luego controlamos a una mujer que ni sabemos quien es la cual Joel salva , la mujer los lleva a una cabaña y mata a Joel , llega Ellie y Ellie mira como lo matan... eso no me gustó, supongo que a nadie, pero debía pasar en algún momento para que Ellie madure, pero pasó en un momento malo, siento que tuvimos que haber tenido más interacción con Joel para encariñarnos más con el y que su muerte nos haga generar más odio para matar a a la mujer, cosa que no pasó, obvio que tuvimos odio hacia ella, y queríamos continuar la historia pero no me atrapó, el hecho de que Ellie sea lesbiana no tienen nada malo, pero si relación con diñase muy incómoda, como que doña hizo a Ellie lesbiana y aparte Dina está embarazada y esto a Ellie le vale verga y lo hace más incómodo ni siquiera he terminado el juego y llevo como dos días sin jugarlo porque no me atrapa, la la historia le doy un 8 y al gameplay un 19 sin dud, matar a un enemigo o infectado se siente muy bien al hacerlo cuerpo a cuerpo la implementación de esquivar se me hizo algo fabuloso ya que así puedes evitar ataques… Expand

    Just be patient upto the end of the game to absorb and experience this journey through a world full of rage and see for yourself what this cycle of violence can do to you.

    As I see it, many of the negative reviews were written on the day of publication or two days after.
    (You need at least 25-30 hours. for the story.)
    So rather reviews of people who were affected by a leak. Many users have rated TLOU2 here because of this leak. Unfortunately, this doesn't do the game justice in any way, which tells such an exciting story that you'll probably remember in 10 years.

    I love this game. Gameplay is fantastic and engaging and the love for detail is amazing. The story made me go through an emotional rollercoaster, it had me crying, smiling, being angry and sometimes made my heart beat faster. It does not tell a classic Hollywood tale of good and evil, but a complex story of humans driven by their emotions to be their best and their worst selves.

    TLOU II is like a beautiful, giant, colorful, monumental and shiny cake, which its piece tastes like sh*t.

    Everyone was enchanted by the cake on display. Everyone wanted to eat it. Of those who ate, a part got angry due to the food’s terrible taste. They saw all the beauty that orbits the “cake sculpture”, but they did realize that it loses its value when the palate is not even pleased.

    Different part of the people who ate the cake, who have a very dubious culinary taste and no experience with other foods, were happy to be eating it - despite the horrible taste - because the ingredients used to make it were not of animal origin. It was socially conscious and appropriate for today's times. Those who did not like it, they say, probably take pleasure in the suffering of others and are outdated, old people who do not adapt to the modern world.

    That is how things have worked out.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is the greatest game of this generation so far.
    It's also the most polarising. This generation has been underwhelming to me with the 2 exceptions of the Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2, everything wasn't that much of a giant leap from the last console gen. My most played and my favourite game of all time is TES5: Skyrim, a last gen game, I'm still playing this gen.
    TLOU2 challenges gamers by killing off a central character in a gruesome fashion, very Game of Thrones esque. Sets you up to play as the antagonist to see their perspective and motivations. With the ending, leaving us with no winners at the of this game. This goes against the grain, against video game norms, it's very Leftfield. In video games we're used to being the heroes and saving the world. In this, you're forced accept the opposite and to make matters worse you have no choice in any of the decisions the characters choose.
    I did not look at any leaks, news, gossip, rumour and bought it day 1, played it through out the week and avoided social media for spoilers until completion. I was fully immersed and engaged with the story end to end.
    I couldn't put it down.
    I went in with high expectations and it significantly exceeded them.
    My life was on hold to play and complete this game. It was sad, it moved me and I still think about it.
    I enjoyed so much, I want to play it again but I need to get on with my life. This is an easy clear cut 10 out of 10 game for me.
    Just like it's predecessor, no other medium, let alone a game has moved me this much emotionally. In fact a lot of gamers are very emotional right now about this game for various reasons.
    This is without a shadow of doubt, the best game I've ever played. I have to commend Naughty Dog, for pushing the video game industry forward yet again and I'm looking forward to what they have in store for us next.
    This is an instant classic and must buy.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game I've ever played. Loved seeing both sides of a story that makes you question the actions from the first. I ended up being as invested in Abby's story as Ellie's which had be putting down the controller not wanting to fight in the final battle - which is amazing that a game can create that feeling. Hats off to Naughty Dog who stood their ground and made a game realistic to the world of The Last of Us, and not another cookie-cutter game where the hero kills the villain and everybody lives happily ever after.… 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]
