    This game was a different experience altogether. The gameplay is amazing, the environment is beautiful and the story hits you right in the feels. The game is long by NaughtyDog standard but every passing minutes the gameplay gets intense and dark. The story slows down at towards the mid sections of the game but pace picks up back again soon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, after finishing this MASTERPIECE, yes I said MASTERPIECE, i've to say that is one of the best games ive ever played.
    Graphics 10/10, The game experience has improved a lot.
    Ive enjoyed the history so much, in my opinion everything is correct, the LGBT "inclusion" or the Ellie and Diba's romance doesn't disturbe our adventure through this game.
    I can understand people who hated the game cause the early death of our beloved Joel, and also can understand the bad opinions to Abby. I hated too Abby when she killed Joel but, I saw her like a nasty assassin, but when I played hours with her on the flashbacks, I started to enjoy Abby. She really have a very good history, I like her relation with Owen and the journey with Lev (I loved this boy). It's difficult to love Abby, but I lied if I say she is a bad character or she destroy the history, because that's false.
    The final with Ellie and Abby in that dark beach is awesome, very hard, plenty of emotions. I that point of the history, the revenge has already not sense, so i liked they stop to fight (but to be honest I prefered to kill Abby, Ellie is my Ellie).
    The final with Ellie in the farm is strange, she lost everything she had and wanted cause de revenge. The last image, Ellie leaving the Joel's guitar make us a little confused, but I think is something that we can suppose or try to imagine...
    The best way to discover this adventure is playing, not believing the false reviews of people who are scared of play with an homosexual girl as main character or play with a strong woman.
    For me is an incredible game.    … Expand

    Plain and simple: Great story, great graphics, great playability. People who criticize the story can only see the world in black and white and good guys vs bad guys. This game gives us a nice thought on the truth of human conflict. To the homophobic haters: get over yourselves. GREAT WORK NAUGHTY DOG. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ART TEAM! AMAZING JOB.

    The gameplay and visual presentation of the game are stellar, but I don't play The Last of Us for graphics and gameplay. I play it for the story, and The Last of Us 2's story is garbage. Druckman did my boy Joel dirty!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La verdad una tremenda decepción, el juego tenia todo para ser lo mejor de lo mejor, pero la cagaron con la historia, que termino siendo una historia de venganza pero sin venganza, mataron a Joel (un tipo que se peleó con medio país y más, super precavido y preparado para todo) como a un perro, un extra, encima por un grupo de peleles que ni siquiera tenían la mitad de experiencia que el ni todos juntos, pudieron darle una muerte acorde al tipo de personaje y la verdad no me parece un mal detonante de la trama pero la forma fue ridícula, metieron un montón de tramas paralelas que no suman absolutamente nada a la trama principal, nos obligan a usar una personaje que nos hacen odiar al comienzo de la historia haciendo su parte un disgusto enorme y encima debemos golpear a Ellie que es a quien queremos ver vengarse, no me importa la orientación sexual de los personajes ni la identidad de genero, es más personalmente seguía muy emocionado el romance de Ellie y Dina, Lev me desagradó pero no por ser transgénero pero si porque realmente sumó muy poco a la historia que deseábamos, la única que gana en todo esto es Abby y no Ellie quien seguimos desde el 2013, y aunque la lección sea buena y Ellie renuncia a su venganza igual lo pierde todo, no valió la pena para nada dejar todo eso.
    Los contenidos de inclusión en la narrativa la verdad no molestan pero tampoco suman para nada, por lo menos en este caso.
    En los aspectos técnicos es tremendamente bueno, nada para reclamar y mucho para felicitar, personalmente lo único a destacar, pero no bastó para retirar el trago amargo que deja este juego, juego que su fuerte siempre fue la historia y que si lo arruinan ahí siente que lo pierde todo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall this game is a masterpiece, well thought and constructed so that you can get two opposite points of of view. Honestly, If someone had told me I would be forced to play as Joel’s murderer for half the game I would’ve think it twice before playing. But I actually understood (trust me, I haven’t fully forgave her) Abby’s point of view and although it was a harsh experience, it was totally worth it.

    There were a few things I didn’t like, because... no game is without sin. But overall this game was awesome. Stop hating just because of Joel’s death. This game is so much more than that. The story is really powerful, gameplay is an awesome combination of all the things Naughty Dog has learned from the Uncharted series without losing the essence of The Last of Us. Thanks to the constant evolution of the storytelling it never gets boring. It really is a masterpiece and it deserves so much credit from the user's scores.    … Expand

With The Last Of Us Part II was no different, not for me or anyone else. For me, as i heard someone else saying on Youtube, it was not only an experience, but also a lifechanging event. As a fan of the franchise, I'm destroyed by the gruesome, hard, heartbreaking, true to itself storytelling. Every single chapter of the game was a necessary and pleaseable (in some weird way sometimes, got be honest). The mechanics, the script, the delivery of every single line was on point, and when I say on point I mean pure perfect understanding the possibilities and the story beeing told . Saying that, makes me completely saddened to see the mostly irrational backlash that the game and the creators are receiving, I believe a lot of that comes from a place of prejudice (like homophobia), and because of that I am truly grateful for the creators for beeing bold enough to do a realistic and inclusive and necessary game. As a female gamer, makes me enormously satisfied to see true representations of female characters and bodies, to see true wlw relationships beeing portrayed. So, for all of that and a lot that is not being told here, thank you. I wish I could express everything that I felt while playing it: the pain, the laugh, the tears, the fear, the love and another countless feelings that made me realised that this franchised has become one of my favorites of all time and this game occupying a special place in my heart.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let’s imagine there was NO part one of this game, we’re introduced to this new character Ellie who see’s her friend Joel getting killed and then sets on this journey to seek vengeance. We play as Ellie and then as Abby.. This game would probably get 8-8.5. It’s by no means a perfect game, but it’s fun, not too bad of a story, great graphics, fun combat. However, Playing this game after the original game is definitely a disappointment. We’ve already built a connection with Joel and Ellie, and now we see Joel getting killed and then Ellie losing everything at the end of the game AND on top of that have to play for 10 hours as the character the killed Joel and expecting us connect to her! It felt exhausting and pointless, I just didn’t care about Abby, no matter how many times I interacted with the dog or played as her when she was young or went to the hospital where her father was killed! I DID NOT CARE. SHE KILLED JOEL. I played through the original game at least 5 times, probably 10. I finished part 2 and will never touch it again, that sums up the difference between the experiences we go through. Considering all of the above, it’s still not fair to give the game a 2 or 3, it’s clearly a well done game (mostly) and that’s why it’s a 6 for me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely mediocre plot. At the end of the game, the character is controlled by flashbacks. FLASHBACK "Ellie, you need to take revenge ..." - I need to take revenge, FLASHBACK "No, Ellie, there is no point in taking revenge" - yes, I do not need to take revenge. This can describe the whole game.

    Honestly, give me a month, I'll write twice as best on my knee.

    The gameplay is exactly the same. Nothing "incredible", "IMPOSSIBLE" is not here.

    The guys who painted the whole world - well done, worked hard for fame. Two points for you.

    Thanks Drakmann for the corpse, not the second part of the game.

    Well, thanks at least, they spat on Joel’s corpse, it's good that they didn’t piss.    … 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.
