I love the characters, of course I missed Joel but he will be in our hearts forever. Gamer community, please, cut with the **** Great job, Naughty Dog.… Expand

    Naughty Dog has once again raised the bar. When the dust settles this will be looked at as an achievement in gaming and one of the best of this generation.

    This game is wild and definitly better than anything thats out right now. Yea the story is sometimes subpar but the overall game is great and you owe it to yourself to play it. Dont listen to what all the bombers are saying.

    I personally really enjoyed this game
    It filled me with so many emotions multiple times and left me shaking multiple times aswell. Say what you will about the story, the game in and of its self is fun and the graphic are probly the best that have ever been on console ever *especially in 4k* . There are times where it is extremely EXTREMELY brutal, but it's fun.

    I truly believe that if you like survival games and really go into this game with an open mind you will enjoy it (especially if you happened to remain spoiler free)

    *Also just a reminder, a lot (if not all) of the ratings that are 0 and 1 were posted within the first 6 hours of the game being out and are just people that review bombed the game and had haven't actually played it first, or had just seen the leaks and made assumptions without playing it first.
    (A lot of them also say the game has a polical agenda and if you like it you are just a dumb sjw *in other words it's people that are homophobic or against feminism*) so baisically the real user rating is probably around 7/10 or 7.5/10*    … Expand

    The pros of TLOU2 are that compared to its predecessor the gameplay has improved, the graphics are better than ever and there are some fantastic cinematic pieces, all in all those aspects are objectively good, however where the game fails so spectacularly is the main crux of the success the first game enjoyed, the story.

    With all this new technology and moderate gameplay improvements (but no one really played for the gunplay tbh) it had set the stage to completely outshine its legacy and create a true game of the year or even decade, all of its hard hitting emotional scenes fall flat or worse, induce a feeling of dis-satisfaction and disappointment, the relationship between the players and the characters was handled with utter contempt, with no saving grace between them, if we can even call them the same characters, many of them do not act consistently and often jump to irrational and illogical decisions that have been shown repeatedly to be against their entire backstory and demeanor.

    I don't know if the original writers were bought back for this game, but i heavily doubt it, TLOU was not a game that can stand up based on its gunplay alone, 80% of its core was a compelling story with relatable and consistent characters, its successor needed to be handled with the utmost care and tact, of which it failed to the point that im not sure if they were even trying, i feel bad for the coders and programmers that poured so much of their heart into it, because that does show, the writing team had failed the game, the company and their co-workers, its madness that no one tried to pull them up on it.    … Expand

    I just finished this avalanche of excellence, this Mariana trench dive into the most obscure aspects of human nature, this monument to detail, craft, and unparalleled storytelling.

    The Last of Us II is the new measuring stick for videogames; the depth of the characters is surpassed only by the stunning game art and uncompromised graphics. The game's detail and clarity take the PS4 Pro hardware to its limit; you can often hear the machine redlining, struggling to keep up. I, too, struggled to keep up along it, facing a riveting story of vengeance, hate, and rage, a true tour de force of purposeful violence that would give Tomas de Torquemada a run for his money.

    I believe this game is the best I have ever played and might be the best created. Finally, I will say that players' negative reviews are precisely why expert critics exist, to praise art and excellence when commoners simply cannot recognize it. Only fools would not know this game for what it is, a 10/10 magnum opus that stands alone, at the top, with no peers.    … Expand

    I was anticipating this game since a lot of time, and loved the first one, but even though the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay satisfying, the story is horribly written, with characters that are definitely forgettable, and some decisions that don't make any sense. I also don't like the fact that the developers try to hide behind the sexism and bigotry csrd

    For the most part, I am enjoying The Last of Us: Part II but it is sadly not my Game of the Year for 2020.

    To begin with, Naughty Dog pushes the PS4's hardware to the limit as the game looks absolutely amazing (played on PS4 Pro) with beautiful, realistic environments, fantastic lighting and life-like characters. The inclusion of a photo mode is a great addition.

    The game play has improved, with new abilities such as jumping, climbing and going prone to crawl. These additions are not ground breaking or unique and we have seen them in other games before, but their inclusion does improve the overall experience, especially stealth. The combat and stealth mechanics work well and I had a lot of fun with the stealth segments.

    I also appreciate that pills, or supplements, used to buy new skills and upgrade abilities, becomes more common to find, especially considering that now, you have access to multiple skill-trees. The environments are also quite large, offering multiple paths and optional areas to explore. The music is also a delight, a mix between calm and beautiful, to eerily uncomfortable.

    The characters are all performed well by their respective actors, and while the overall story is competent, it is not nearly as strong as the previous Last of Us, released in 2013. I find that, despite some of the performances, I just did not care at all about some of the characters.

    My biggest problem with The Last of Us: Part II was that the A.I. partners would frequently get in my way, disallowing me the ability to move where I needed to go. This was especially frustrating in hostile environments, such as trying to hide from an enemy about to spot me (one of my A.I partners would be blocking the path), or when I tried to seek cover, an A.I partner may unintentionally block me from cover, resulting in me being seen, getting shot etc. This wouldn't normally be that annoying, or maybe I'm just unlucky, but it happened in almost every combat encounter I experienced, when I had an A.I partner with me.

    The game is quite lengthy, averaging anywhere from 20 - 30 hours to complete, depending on your chosen difficulty, how good you are at the game, and if you're using guides or not. This is kind of a good and kind of a bad thing. Some people may appreciate the longer time, giving them more of a story they might enjoy, while some might feel that the game can overstay its welcome at times and become repetitive, which is what I found. I like long games, but with formula of The Last of Us: Part II, it might be a little too long for my taste. It's also a massively sized game, a physical copy of the title comes on two discs, a data disc and a play disc, and the install for on a PS4 is 95GB, so you better free up some space r get yourself an external hard drive.

    There is also a New Game Plus mode, which allows you to replay the game with all of your acquired weapons, weapon-upgrades and skills, albeit the difficulty will be slightly increased higher to accommodate for your advantage.

    I think The Last of Us: Part II is a good game and I don't believe it deserves all the hate it's receiving, but I also don't agree with fans claiming that it's the perfect game. It's pretty good, but it's sadly not mind blowing. I thought the first game was incredible and it was certainly my favourite game of 2013, so perhaps my expectations for this game were a little too high.

    If you're a fan of The Last of Us, and/or if you enjoy action games with stealth, then you'll probably like this.

Conclusión: si estás aquí y quieres comprar el juego y tienes dudas, hazlo, ni te deje llevar por las notas falsas que le están dando al juego, es un juego de mínimo una nota 8 en adelante, no le di 10 por qué conserva algunos aspectos que mejorar .… 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.
