    This game is a work of art. And it really pushes the medium of gaming. *kisses in air*

    La verdad la pase muy bien jugandolo, todo lo que tiene que ver con el apartado técnico es un trabajo surrealista, solamente por eso no le pondré una nota negativa, pero la historia si que deja mucho que desear, Neil druckman te quedo grande tu propio proyecto, una lastima!

    Yes it's not the same game like a remaster, but i think it's a good game with awsome graphic and story telling.

    The Last of Us was arguably the best game of the previous generation. So it's no wonder the reaction to this game has been so strong. The first game was a tough act to follow, but i personally believe that this is a strong follow-up and not the disaster that it has been made out to be.

    The Last of Us part 2 is a gruelling game. It throws you through the emotional ringer time after time, and can at time be a little exhausting. It's perhaps a little overlong. But overall, i think the messages within are justified. The story is well-written. A simple revenge tale told well. I won't reveal it's multiple twists and turns (although i'm pretty sure the entire world knows them by now) but by and large it's a compelling experience. The graphics are what you expect from a Naughty Dog release and are incredible, easily the best of the generation. My only issue with the visuals are more often than not you're forced into dark spaces where it can be difficult to navigate. I had to adjust my settings away from the recommended brightness just to navigate a couple of sequences.

    Overall i think the narrative beats are welcome, and although i loved both games i hope this is the last foray in the world of the last of us, as i don't think the world will ever be ready for a continuation on Ellie's journey. Great game which, i will no doubt play again at some point in the future! Highly recomended!    … Expand

    WOW what a ride! This game is incredible on every level. There are enough review bombs from disapointed fanboy/girls who either refuse to engage with the story for whatever reason, or are disapointed because the story isn't as 'simple' as it is in part one. I also understand that some of the characters actions may seem incongruous with what we think we understand about them. BUT SO WHAT!WOW what a ride! This game is incredible on every level.

The gameplay loop is the most satisfying and polished stealth/action mashup that has ever existed. The graphics and animations are off the scale. It's the closest you can get to being in a real graphic novel, which brings me to the story. It is there to serve the purpose of creating lots of interesting gameplay arenas. Just like the book that inspired the creation of The Last Of Us, City of Theives, each section or chapter is a device to create tension or excitement or wonder or horror or sadness. It's unlike anything else out there and should be celebrated as such. If you have a PS4 why are you even reading user reviews and not playing this right now?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dont want to give this game 0/10, but due to critics overrating the game, I think it should be a message for developers. Game is trying to make you feel compassion for whole Abby storyline. Its a great idea to show two sides of coin. Idea is great, but the way they did it really confuses me. I forced myself to play Abby part for this 10 hour. I let her be eaten by clickers around 80 times. If there was a way to kill her, i did it. I wish the scenario worked for me, but it didnt. I guess it is an evidence of the fact that game is poorly written. When game made me play Abby against Ellie, I simply didnt want to punch Ellie. How can i worry more about a boring grey character like abby more than Joel and Ellie who were main chracters in first game. TLOU2 had a great potential, but they screwed up. I dont knwo who to blame for this. I didnt raise the topic of absolute uninteresting new characters (Mel, Nora, Abby, Owen and other part og their wolf gang). Abundance of pregnancy ( zebra is pregnant - abby's father is good because he saved it, Ellie killed dozens of people, but when she kills Mel who is PREGNANT she gets shocked. Dina is pregnant and that affects Abby's choice. Third point, I dont have anything against LGBTQ and women overall but why mostly all women characters are shown form a good perspective (Abby is a good person at last, Leader of scars is good at last, leader of Jackson Marie is right about revenge etc) while male are shown from a bad side ( Joel is a selfish moron, Tommy cant leave the idea of revenge, leader of Wolves is a coldblood child killer). Fourth point is straight up lying in trailers ( shwoing that joel is alive and that they will have adventues in seattle). I put 0/10, because i think this game is overrated. As a fan of first part i fell like Nill just spitted in my face.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hate having to write this review because I was hoping for so much in this game after loving the first one and having played it for more than 5 times already.
    I loved everything about the first one, the relationship between Joel and Ellie, the secondary characters such as Bill, Henry, Sam, Tommy, etc. They all felt real and added something to the story and helped to further expand and explain the world and the conditions in how they lived. Every character felt like it had a purpose in being there. The story was perfect in portraying how Joel had been affected by losing Sara and then how he started seeing Ellie as her chance as having a daughter again. The first game made me feel for the characters as well as leaving impressions on me, I actually got very sad at times and even cried a little at some.
    As for the 2nd part none of that happened. I don’t mind that they killed Joel, what bothers me is the way they did it. It felt rushed and they spent a lot of the time trying to show him as a bad person, he was not a saint but also not as bad as they made him out to be. The side characters in this game really did nothing for me, none of them were memorable for me. My favorite side character would have to be either Lev or Jesse because they were the most develope of them, Lev actually had some background developed for him (the things he keeps telling Abby about his life), Jesse was a funny and not so serious guy. As for Abby’s friends I didn’t really care much about them except for Owen, he came out as one of the better guys by being human, I can’t recall any time he did anything macabre as Abby did, in fact he was the one that stopped Abby from further torturing Joel, he also started sympathizing with the seraphites late in the game. The other ones I don’t care about, Mel and Manny are the worst.

    I had to replay the first game in order to better notice the differences between Ellie and Joel in the first and second game. In the first game Ellie was a funny, easygoing and sweet person but in the second one they made her a hate-able character, Joel (and Tommy) were smart in the first game and cautious whereas in the second they are really the opposite.
    I didn’t like playing as Abby because I could feel from the get go how the game wants you to force her to like her by manipulating you, an example of this is the well known dog killing aspect, as Ellie you kill dogs and as Abby you pet and play fetch with dogs. Naughty Dog wants us to like Abby so much but I simply couldn’t like her, she was a prick for the entirety of the game except at the end with the seraphite kids, she never showed remorse for killing Joel or Jesse, and I could even see that she thought that she was right in her doing so. She’s such a despisable character. The game gives us less than 20 minutes of Joel, which was one of the reasons why the first game was extremely liked. They also deceived us in the trailers by making it look like we were going to play as Joel (horse ride doesn’t count), the marketing for the game was completely different in comparison to what we got (it almost seems like not even Naughty Dog was confident in what they were making so they thought of fooling us). They also said that Ellie was going to be the only playable character but then we get “introduced to Abby in the first hour of gameplay.

    In terms of graphics and gameplay the game is amazing but the story is not. I think it could have been much better even with the same plot, just executed in a different way.

    The ending was unsatisfying but not just because Ellie didn’t kill Abby, they never managed to get the point of “revenge leads to nothing” across, or whatever they wanted to say, it just leaves us with a sour experience. It’s clear how they wanted to destroy Ellie, they left her with absolutely nothing, meanwhile Abby gets to live a happy life with Lev (again she showed no remorse at all).

    It saddens me that the game wasn’t good because I was really looking forward to it after the first one being one of my favorite games of all time. I wanted to like it so much but I just couldn’t.

    I know I’ll get targeted as a bigot but say whatever you want, I don’t mind the LGBTQ+ in the game, I think it’s good to include it to some extent. Remember, we’ve known about Ellie since the Left Behind DLC and that was also universally appraised as the first game.    … Expand

The creators of this game could have given us the first game with Joel and Ellie but had Abby chase us due to her fathers death or maybe have Ellie rescue Joel from Abby's base at the aquarium. There were so many other routes this game could have and should have gone. 7 years of waiting to watch Joel die to a girl he happened to conveniently run into and save in the wild, even though Joel had a ton of trust issues in the first game and still did. Ellie learned nothing from finding Abby and fighting her. She ditches Dina and the baby to go fight Abby, to not end up killing her, lose two of her fingers, and everyone that cared about her. The pacing was a mess, the fights were mashing the square button or triangle button and the clickers felt easier to fight! No more shiv making for Ellie! She just has a knife that never breaks so now you can beat clickers easier than the walking infected lol. Also, thank you for tricking us in the trailers showing older Joel as if he was actually a big part of the game, but instead it was cut scenes of the past Joel. What a mess. Please, I beg you not to make a third game as that will continue to destroy the brilliance of what the first game was as this game has.… Expand

    No tiene nada similar a lo que se nos presnto en los trailers, y las prereseñas anunciadas para el lanzamiento, jugaron con toda la historia que habia detars y el legado de mucho tiempo de insertidumbre ante la infeccion, solo lo hicieron de lado y pusieron problemas personales en medio de una pandemia y el sentido de supervivencia del ser humano, es una historia muy deficiente.

    Otro problema es la trágica y dura muerte de Joel, ya que para muchos fue lo más trágico que le podían hacer al personaje principal del primer juego con el que varios nos encariñamos,, con esta nueva historia su muerte no fue la merecida y el jugar con su propia asesina (Abby), es un punto conflictivo, porque nadie quería jugar siendo esa mujer, aunque sus intenciones tuvieran justificación no es así como debía hacerlo... Al final de la historia se da a entender el porqué Ellie dejó vivir a Abby, siendo ella una personaje que sus deseos de venganza la hicieron perder todo, o al menos eso es lo que da a entender. No digo que sea mal juego, solo que tuvo unos puntos que lo hicieron tener un promedio regular (de mi parte), y personalmente el pensar en la historia me decir que no hagan el juego canónico, sino otra historia y que un juego mejor desarrollado de acuerdo a la opinión de los jugadores se pueda concretar una historia y juego digna de esta franquicia...    … 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.
