    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know everybody is just mad at Joel's death. But Naughty Dog really makes me like Abby. When i finished with Ellie in Seattle, having to play with Abby just bothered me, but throughout the game, the way of make her feel like a real person really entered me. If the game makes me love the "antagonist" i think that has to be called god tier writing somehow.. Really true masterpiece, you all must play this game.… Expand

    Loved it. It's an epic story about the futility of revenge, and it works. Pacing is maybe a little off at times, with some sections dragging on a bit too long, but that's about my only (minor) complaint. Graphics, sound, story and gameplay are all top notch and an improvement on the 1st TLOU in every department.

    Сюжет не очень, особенно если сравнивать с первой частью, геймплей почти не изменился и игра слишком затянута. Я бы занизил оценку за то, что сони всех купила, но это было бы неправильно по отношению к игре.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is better than the first one. Joel was a bad person, Ellie is a bad person, and (shockingly) Abby is a bad person. You can try to convince yourself that "That's just the world they live in, they do these things to survive", but you're just deluding yourself. When you look at both the original and Part II as one story, you carry out horrific acts in the name of your own self interest, with Joel probably being the worst of the three. This game isn't about Joel, but given the community response, you'd swear that you spend more than 90 seconds playing as him.
    Naughty Dog have given the player a chance to look at the idea of actions and consequences. You pulled a trigger in 2013, and the effect of that has finally come to fruition, but not as you would have liked. Just like Joel massacring a hospital full of people, Ellie's actions in Seattle had consequences, offered from the perspective that we as players rarely ever think about. The first couple of hours playing as Abby were frustrating, but the moment that sealed her story as it's own troubled journey was when you decide to go back for Yara and Lev. She wasn't acting out of the goodness of her heart, but trying to prove to herself that she was a good person, it was a self-serving act. Just like Joel "saving" Ellie, just like Ellie's acts of vengeance. By the end of this game, I wanted either both Ellie and Abby to live or both to die, because the pitiable state that their respective journeys leave them in doesn't make you feel like the hero you want to be at the end of a 30 hour game. You should feel the weight of your actions.
    Just to comment, I liked Joel, with every second of screen time in this game, he was allowed to grow, which is why he had to die. No matter how much you grow, the sins of the past have a way of catching up to you, it's just fortunate that he had enough of an impact on Ellie to keep her from following the same path that he took.    … Expand

However I was surprised by the sudden change in story with the death of Joel, and I wanted to hunt and kill Abby, however then seeing abbys back story I was split in emotion. Further on, looking after Lev as Abby I wanted to see Abby and lev live on and find the fireflies, however I also wanted Ellie to live in peace with Dina and their child, however Ellie still kept seeing Joels demise in her mind. And she believes to stop this she must then kill Abby, but when finding Abby and on the verge of killing her, she see's Joel before he died and in their final conversation. Then leaves Abby and Lev to find a new life in the fireflies after realising this won't fix her problem overcoming Joels death. The first half of the game I was unsatisfied by only the story, the second half fixed that for me. And finding out that Joel was in peace and relieved with how Ellie was ready to forgive him for saving her, left me with a sense of happiness for the characters. Overall I enjoyed the game and I feel like I could of enjoyed the story a bit more if Joels death wasn't as soon or brutal, and Ellie and Joel were on happier terms. Apart from that, visuals are amazing, gameplay is fun and rewarding.… Expand

    Excelent game with a raw, deep but mostly humane story. I don’t give it a 10 only for the lack of gameplay innovation, but it was still great. Enjoyed it a lot.

Although there were certain parts I wasn't happy with such as Abby's section because of how it strays to far from the main story for too long. However when taking in the rest of the game and Ellie's story, I found myself playing through intense situations that had my pulse pounding in such an exciting way. There are going to be moral choices made in the game that not everyone will be happy with, but I feel that this game is an absolute must play.… Expand

    The storyline is downright nonsense. Last of us 1 is so much better. I feel really betrayed because I was waiting for this game for a long time even though I am not a gamer!! I jsut like the last of us 1 a lot and thought the last of us 2 would be the same - with better graphics and an an amazing storyline - but then everything changed........in a way that is irrational and illogical.

I wanted to turn it off so many times, struggled to get through the game for a terrible ending. Graphics are amazing, some parts of the story are good but I just am so let down by what they've done, playing as Abbey made no sense I skipped most of her cut scenes I don't get why they did what they did. Will never play again… Expand

    I went into this game apprehensively. I was concerned because Troy Baker wanted us to have an "open mind" going in. That's usually code for you're not going to like what you see here.

    I knew about the leaks but I intentionally avoided all of them. So, other than the one comment from Troy, I was going in blind. Surprisingly, when the game started off I didn't have any issues with it.    I went into this game apprehensively. I was concerned because Troy Baker wanted us to have an "open mind" going in.

    I knew about the leaks but I intentionally avoided all of them. So, other than the one comment from Troy, I was going in blind.

    Surprisingly, when the game started off I didn't have any issues with it. However, it soon became apparent that Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann had a scratch to itch with this game's story, characters be damned.

    Neil has gone to Twitter and said that they won't pander to the fans of the original game, which is fine. Tell the story that you want to tell. If you want to tell a dark story, then do so creatively. If you want to take these characters on a journey into the pits of hell, then do so creatively. If you want to discuss how revenge makes monsters of us all, then do so creatively. What you don't do, is give us this story that is so amateurish in its execution that it was genuinely a chore to slog through.

    It's almost as if ND engineered this story from the end and worked their way backwards. How do I get the characters here? Oh, well this has to happen and that has to happen regardless of whether it makes any sense or not. The plot should serve the characters not the other way around. This is why you have multiple characters behave in uncharacteristic ways just so ND can get to where they want to go with their story.

    This same story could be told, even with all of its issues, in a much better fashion. How is it that the last game came out in 2013 and this is the best that they could do? This game's story drags the whole game down. I actually wanted the game to just end when I got to the farm. This wasn't because I thought that would be a good way to end the game. I simply wanted the game to end because I didn't care anymore. As a storyteller, I'm sure that's the last thing you want, but as a gamer I can tell you what I don't want: The Last of Us Part III. Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann made sure of that.

    I really wanted to like this game. The first game was amazing, a 10/10 experience. I am by no mean a professional reviewer but even by my standards 10/10 scores are extremely rare.    … Expand

    El guión tienen "pequeños" huecos que afectan gravemente a la historia. Son muchas las decisiones que se toman en muy poco tiempo. Fuera de eso la construcción de los personajes y la psicología que cada uno lleva es buena, y la forma en la que se cuenta con flashbacks puede ser no tan acertada, pero es buena para la experiencia del videojugador.

    En cuanto a publicidad nos venden un juego de venganza, y si la lleva, pero no hay un punto en el que se siente la venganza, es más un camino de redención, para los personajes principales, y para el jugador en general.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People who are saying that the game is bad, clearly did not want to understand what the game brings, nor did they try to see what happens in the history of the game. I think who complains about the game took these points into account:
    -There is no right or wrong side, everyone is wrong
    -The relationship between Ellie and Dina is not super sexualized as many lgbt + relationships are portrayed in different media
    -The humanization of Abby not putting her as a villain but as an ordinary human being who has normal feelings just like Ellie
    -The clear leveling of Abby, with Ellie, because they both wanted revenge, what differs is that Abby had her revenge but it didn't change anything in her life, she didn't bring her father back, since Ellie realized that taking revenge I wouldn't bring Joel back and that revenge is empty.
    Honestly those who complain about the story clearly did not want to understand or play the game properly. And do not mask your homophobia with meaningless comments saying that the story has holes and is poorly developed, people who have not even played the game want to have an opinion, will play the last the entire us 2 and then give a note.

    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]
