    The graphics and the story are well done. I only played the game until Seattle Day 2. I'm looking forward to how the story continues.

    Probablemente la gente solo quería ver morbo y fetichismo sabiendo que Ellie libremente estaría atada a una compañera como Deana, las malas críticas solo se basan en gente que de seguro juegan Fortnite y Warzone y ya se creen los mejores críticos de los videojuegos, sin duda para mi TLOU2 es uno de los mejores juegos del año, les guste o no!

    Genial, la mejor secuela posible. Un digno sucesor del primero, con unos personajes espectaculares, en especial la protagonista. Mención de honor a las animaciones faciales.

Вы понимаете, что на эту игру было потрачено 7 лет, а оценка такая же, как и у fifa, игры которую тупо копируют с прошлой версии каждый год, практически никаких изменений не вносят и выставляют за фул прайс. Это ненормально. Вся крутость the last of us 2 в мелочах, но, пройдя ее на скорость вы их не заметите. Наличие в этой игре абсолютно дополнительной необязательной, но просто потрясающе реализованной игры на гитаре, которую можно просто скипнуть на похуй свидетельствует об этом. Не торопитесь проходить эту игру, заглядывайте в каждую щель, а желательно проходите на максимальном уровне сложности.

    Хочу добавить, что я ставлю 10 балов только противовес дегенератам, которые поставили 0, ведь эта игра реально заслуживает этого. Пиздец.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It seems that most of the bad reviews for this game are substantiated in a need for linear storytelling. The storytellers rightly thought that it was time to exhibit both perspectives of the harsh realities we all experience. Nothing is linear and plainly black/white in any respect, even though we want it to be. This is why people love those circus superhero movies— very simply, easy to identify with “good vs evil” plot. That isn’t the way the real world works, and it looks like the simple world view that draws people to plain, ‘good vs. evil’ Batman-type nonsense is the same thing that is stopping people from understanding and subsequently enjoying this masterpiece. Yes, it’s hard to watch Joel and Elli quarrel. It’s really hard to watch Jesse die after you grow to like him, or to watch Ellie and Dina separate, unless you have some kind of weird hang-up about same-sex romance, which seems like the case for some of you. It’s difficult to think about the potential regrets that Ellie has in regards to her somewhat neglectful treatment of Joel as of late— never telling him she loves him or she’s thankful for him. That’s all really difficult, but it makes you feel something. That’s how art works. Good art should make you feel uncomfortable because it forces you to stare into the abyss of meaning.

    Most of you just want to swing from buildings with your webs and mash x until everything is dead because you’re the ‘good guy’ and they are the ‘bad guy’. Grow up. That’s just a response to story criticism. Beyond that, art and environment are staggering, writing has some of the most authentic displays of human interaction I’ve seen in media, the gameplay is smooth, and the game is a great length. The one negative I’d concede is that stealth is a little choppy, at least for me. There are instances where it doesn’t really make sense for the enemy to have not seen you as well as the opposite case, but maybe that was just human error.    … Expand

    It's an awesome game. That being said, it also tries to be a piece of art in using different approaches to tell a story. Great art is always controversial so it's understandable that some people hate it for not re-telling the bubbly Father&daughter-bonding story again that was very easy to relate to. If you appreciate art because you're interested in of what the artist wants to tell you,It's an awesome game.

    I was a total fan of the first game and didn't read any reviews, leaks or previews before playing the game and I actually adise anyone to stop reading and start playing.    … Expand

    I honestly cannot understand all of the negative reviews that The Last of Us Part II is getting and it shocks me that true LoU fans cannot get past the intense/controversial moments and respect and appreciate the team taking the story in a different direction to evolve the characters and world in a way that they reasonably would if this was real life.

I tend to be an optimist, but I can't disagree that these sorts of events, factions and emotions would arise in a post apocalyptic style world. You may not like it, or agree with it, but you can't deny that this type of tension between surviving humans could happen and that the toll that takes on our beloved characters could change them in ways we may struggle with looking from the outside in. Coming online to bash a game that so many people dedicated 100s of hours of their lives to because within your first few hours with the game you didn't like some of the narrative choices or character developments just blows my mind and seems so shallow and immature.

    The game immediately drew me back into that hostile world from nearly a decade ago and I genuinely wanted to explore every inch of the environments that the team brought to life. Every detail of each scene, room, building, etc. was thoroughly thought through and you can tell that everyone involved soaked their hearts into designing a world that is believable.

    Yes the game is dark at times, and tough to get through, but that's how you know it's compelling. If a game can make you squirm, tense up, cry, laugh and literally just stare in amazement, it's a testament to a well written and designed game that draws you in emotionally as a player. Each cut scene had my full attention and even though some of the tougher moments were difficult to play or watch, I knew I had to see the story to the end. And to all the critics slamming the team for building SJW themes into a game, get over it, it's 2020. I even dislike having to put the term 'SJW' into my review because if having strong female characters and LBGTQ sexual orientations or gender identities in a video game is considered "social justice" we have a much bigger problem in our contemporary world even without an apocalyptic event occurring.

    To Halley and Neil and the rest of the Naughty Dog crew, please know that the a vast majority of the LoU audience is more mature than this and a lot of us can take the emotional toll that the game places on us to be rewarded with something that's unique, thought provoking and immersive. We can understand how tough some of these decisions must have been to make, but also can understand why they were done. Please don't ever shy away from telling the compelling stories you want to, or building the characters that you feel are appropriate regardless of what the masses want - that's ultimately what will continue to allow the gaming world to evolve. It's what made us fall in love with TLoU Part I and it's what has made me love Part II. Thank you for the incredible effort put into this story and game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game already has well over twice the positive ratings as the original had overall ratings. It has 34k negative ratings, and most of those came out the day of release, 99% from people who heard what happens in the game and didn't like it, following the leaders of their youtube/twich groupthink.

    Gameplay: 10/10 - This is easily among the best gameplay the PS4 has to offer. Anyone discounting gameplay to give this game a 1 either didn't play the game or is so immeasurably butthurt, their review should be withdrawn from the calculation.
    Graphics: 9.5/10 - See above
    Story: 8/10 - The story isn't as good as the first game, but TLoU's story was probably the best in any game ever, so that is hard to beat. It was also a vastly different game, focused on one character's selfishness and restrained madness. Joel channeled his lack of ability to save his daughter and her death at the hands of humans to Elie and his general hatred for humanity. This made him choose Elie over humanity, despite not giving Elie a choice in the matter. Joel was selfish and wanted Elie to live to sate his own failures, and keep him from loneliness. This selfish and hateful act inevitably brings its comeuppance both in his demise and the turn to madness monstrosity that befalls the one he was so desperate to save. It is like what he held onto was a hatred and disgust for humanity, and that manifested in Elie by no agency of her own. People forget that the fireflies saved Elie from drowning. She was incapacitated when they took her to the surgery room to save humanity. Marlene knew Elie far better than Joel, and knew she would be more than willing to have sacrificed herself so that all those she lost would not have died in vain, so that there would be no more Rlieys killed by this plague.
    Balls: 15/10 - It is refreshing for a game to take such daring steps that they know will inevitably anger the gamer bro and white nationalist communities.    … Expand

    This game is unlike any other and will go down as a classic--as no other game in history has made you question the morality of your protagonists like The Last of Us Part 2. The graphics, animation, environments, combat are incredible, and the story, while controversial, is extremely well written. Congrats to the team at Naughty Dog for shaking the games industry to its core once again.

    This is a game about love, hate, revenge and most importantly grief. It left me shell shocked and weeping in my bed at 5 in the morning.

    I started the game as one person and finished as a different one. My heart now bears wounds that I doubt will ever heal.

    "If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself"

    Thank you Naughtydog.

    El juego respecto a escenarios, inmersión, jugabilidad es bueno pero nada fuera del otro mundo. Donde cae completamente es en su historia. Se entiende la inclusión, pero era necesario que fuera como lo mostraron (?) Además del cambio del cambio de actitud del personaje en tan poco tiempo. Sinceramente hubiera llevado otro nombre. No puedo creer que sea la secuela del primer juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler I am a huge fan of the original game, got every trophy and consider it my favorite game. But The Last of Us Part 2 ruined the franchise for me. I admit i am only half way through the game and I am not mad they killed Joel, what I am mad about is how how they did it. He died out of character. He was always someone who was skeptical of strangers and tried his best to stay out of situations like he was in. But in part 2, he just walked right into a room knowing he probably has people looking for him after how many people he's killed in the past. Not only that but part 2 make you play as the person who kills Joel.... **** that. Every time I controlled Abby, i just wanted to quit the game. The only feeling I had for her was HATE. The things the game did good on, Graphics, kept the combat the same while introducing more variables to keep it interesting. But the pace was very off. There were too many collectibles and slow moving parts to keep the story interesting.… Expand

    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.
