    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I see most negative reviews here based on the fact that they got rid of the main character from the last game within the first 2 hours of this game and that he wasn’t playable. I feel last of us 2 has been on the receiving end of some unnecessary hate only for the story and doesn’t get enough credit for the other things that they did so well with this one. A game with such superior graphics and so many options weapons to choose from. You are emotionally invested in this game even more than the previous game. Yes, it absolutely sucks to play as the character that was responsible for the death of the main character of the prequel and many people including myself were so damn offended and disappointed at first, but then as the game progressed I was kinda fine with that too. This game also has some great boss fights and is still worth every penny you spend on it. It definitely isn’t even close to the prequel, but it also doesn’t deserve the unnecessary hate it gets.… Expand

    Not as good as the first one, but way better than the 5.7 given by the User Score. The only thing stopping this from being rated a 9 (which in a vacuum i think the game most definitely is) is the crunch time the devs had to go through... not cool man

The roller coaster of emotions that this game puts you through is unlike anything an game has been capable of doing. The journey is worth it at the end. Every story beat while jarring and unforgiving when it happens, ultimately leads to a cathartic and meaningful conclusion. I was heartbroken, enthralled, angry, sad, depressed, hopeful and ultimately at peace with where this game led me. In fact, I was glad and truly moved. This is the greatest narrative put in a video game but not just as a passive gamer but the narrative is actively engrained in a gamer’s experience of this game. I did things I didn’t want to do but I felt what the character I was controlling felt. I have never felt like this before in a video game. This game is a masterpiece not because of the story but how it chooses to tell us the story. It is truly masterful and a giant leap in storytelling in any medium. The feelings this game evokes will linger on for days or even longer.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In short:
    The gameplay is amazing. Graphics are insane.
    The story is meh, Pacing is way off. We all know revenge is bad and takes you to a darker place. But the physical, emotional and general consequences lack for the Abby character.
    Abby lacks a story arc and is a general bloodthirsty psycho, as evidenced by various cutscenes, and her gameplay (she does kill her friends with no remorse). She is as sellfish as they come. The writers try so hard to make you feel bad for her, but her characterization makes the opposite.

    I will give two examples:
    Abby decides to torture Joel. After he saved her. Her friends are in on this, knowing full well he saved her.
    Her words to Dina, as she knows that she is pregnant, while having a knife to her throat are "Good".
    (And looking at Lev makes her stop? Give me a break!)

    Her arc is a fetch quest, that is filler. Her arc does not make sense, why would a bloodthirsty psycho want to help two kids? Never explained.

    In all honesty while Ellie doesn't become a better person, it is clear why most players sided with her and wanted her to succeed. Her character is written better.

    Overall I wish this game had a multiple choice ending. Sparing Abby, Killing Abby or getting Killed by Abby. That would be realistic and far more consequential .    … Expand

It took me a long time to get over the story and see other people's perspectives on it, I finally understood what naughty dog's true intentions were.

    I went into this game without reading any reviews, but I did play part 1. Though I did hear that opinions were very mixed. You either loved it, or hated it. The first hour of the game didn't feel like something i'd love. Lots of talk, and little to no action. I thought, if the rest of the game is like this then no thanks. But pretty soon you got into the familiar gameplay of part 1 which II went into this game without reading any reviews, but I did play part 1. Though I did hear that opinions were very mixed.

I thought, if the rest of the game is like this then no thanks. But pretty soon you got into the familiar gameplay of part 1 which I loved. Switching to other playable characters was confusing and frustrating at first but later I grew more attached to the characters. The reason why I give this game a 10 is exactly because of the different way of playing the game by switching into the role of the 'enemy' and seeing that there is no such thing as a 'good guy / girl and bad guy / girl'. Being good or bad is all relative and the classic view portrayed in movies and games of 'good versus bad' is drawn to a more realistic level in this game. The story might not be as 'grand' as part 1 where your 'goal' was to save the world with a cure, but everything that happened made sense and felt natural to real life. And switching to the 'enemy' side story is a brilliant piece of art in my opinion as you get to see how things are from their point of view and how they see you as evil. Everyone is right and wrong at the same time. If you want a classic game where the 'hero' is immortal and always good and the enemies are always 'bad guys' and 'pure evil' and you don't want that view shattered, then this is not the game for you. But if you are open to the concept that this games tell more than the characters and are open to see the message that is told here about revenge, pretentiousness, assumptions and how nothing is what is seems, then this game will open a new world for you. I truly enjoyed this game.… Expand

    I think when it comes to The Last of Us.. They really should've stayed with only one game. It didn't need a sequel..

    The plot is broiling over with plot inconsistencies/progression and troubling character development.

    Overall, I'd suggest you don't pay full price.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People got mad for Joel’s death and then hated the game for what happened,o think Naughty Dog demonstrate amazingly well how the apocalipse should be,never a happy ending,always a consequence, what Joel did for Ellie may be beautiful for we(despite for the fact that he doomed the world) but for the others was despair, a nice way to think about it is to imagine that The last of us part I was entirely about Abby,and then the bad guy(Joel) killed you father,to me the protagonist is Owen who shows us that perspective of how everyone is good on their point of view,and in this mad,destroyed world,theres nothing left to us besides death.The only party that I desliked about the game was Ellie failing on killing Abby,first of all because she bad nightmares for years about that and then when she has the chance she stops it because of a flashback(?),wasnt the flashbacks that made her seek revenge?and second of all,wasnt the hole point of the game about consequences of our actions?I understood completely Abbys side but she shouldve died,then it would be an amazing sequel if Levi chased after Ellie for revenge,but maybe then he gives her mercy,then ending the “cycle of hatred”.… Expand

    I loved the game, but the remaining half of the game (abby) seemed so boring, the death of joel does not match his character at all, many times the "deep" parts tend to seem forced and the narrative of the game is directly bad .

No playing as her was the last thing we wanted. Nobody felt bad for her to beat joel with a golf club. Worst sequel ever played. And I remember when you deleted bad comments thats so mature. Yoy can't have a site where to review games that are bad or good and not allow bad comments. Just to get a game to have good reviews thats bull. You can't do that doesn't even matter if you own the site you can't lie about a game being good when it's not. Would've been alot better if joel didn't have a **** death and at the beginning… Expand

    Ellie never forgives Abby, she forgives Joel.
    Abby never forgives anyone, she just has something better to do, someone better to care for. Within us, there's only love.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is the ultimate PlayStation 4 game. It is an incredible game in terms of both graphics quality, animation quality and game mechanics. It cannot be denied that there are problems with the story progression and the ending. But the theme of the story is 'hate' and the game does that very well. The Last of Us Part 2 is not a bad game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okey, llego hablar de este juego, Atentos hay spoilers.

    Gameplay Y Graficas: El gameplay y el motor grafico son increiblemente hermosos, el gameplay se siente muy fluido y muy comodo, la I.A puedes sentir un poco tontos a los enemigos, osea ven a pasar a ellie delante de ellos y en algunos ocasiones no te pueden detectar o solo un "ire a revisar", La creacion y arbol de habilidades esta muy bien diseñada y mas pulida que el anterior juego, no las comentare para no arruinar la experencia de gameplay, El juego tiene un nivel de detalle (tanto en gameplays como en cinematicas) Que roza lo enfermizo, me pregunto como puede haber tanto detalle en ese apartado es increible el juego.

    La historia: La historia si bien no es mala la verdad es buena, Como se junta la historia de Ellie con la historia de Abby es buena, Es una historia de pelicula basicamente, Pero tengo que recalcar algunos puntos de la historia, La historia en un principio tiene mucho sentido, Pero despues cuando empezamos a controlar a Abby perdi un poco el interes en la historia no siento que era tan necesario contar casi toda la historia de Abby, Intentan hacerte empatizar con ella lo cual no logre, No fue por motivos como que haya matado a joel o algun otro motivo, Solamente no logre empatizar con ella, Fue muy excesivo en ese apartado lo cual alarga hasta las 20 horas o mas el juego, El final me parecio la verdad una basura, Despues de cruzar todo seattle para encontrar a Abby matar gente por aqui y por alla para que al final Ellie se arrepienta, No fue capaz de perdonarla cuando mato a joel, No fue capaz de perdonarla cuando abandono seattle, Y justo cuando esta a punto de matarla la perdona como si nada, Simplemente no lo entiendo, La narrativa es un desastre, Te ponen flashbacks cada dos por tres aveces charlas un tanto innecesarias, Sobre todo en la historia de Abby supongo para hacerte empatizar con ella, Muchos flashbacks que interrupen el transcurso de el juego, Alargandolo aún mas, En fin la historia es buena pero la narrativa es un desastre.

    Controversias o Polémicas: El primer punto que gente critica de este juego es que Joel hubiese muerto, Y la verdad este punto ya me parece una tonteria en parte si en parte no, Para matar a joel lo tuvieron que volver un poco tonto Me explico, En el primer juego nos mostraban que Joel desconfiaba de cualquier persona que se le cruzara lo cual lo hace un tipo cruel y frio, Incluso dandole consejos a ellie sobre su identidad y de su inmunidad, En la parte 2 joel confia en los amigos de Abby y ella siendo que en la primera parte era totalmente desconfiado, Y no tiene sentido la verdad no concuerda mucho con el primer juego, El siguiente punto es ese que haya muerto, Mucha gente se quejo solo porque murio y esto ya me parece una broma creo que nunca han jugado un the last of us, Si has jugado The last of us sabras que es un mundo cruel y oscuro que gente se mata a mas no poder en un mundo infestado de infectados cuando mas se necesitan, Si te quejaste que murio Joel creo que no has aprendido nada de el primer juego, Pero nada, El siguiente punto son los trailers engañosos me parece tonto de parte de Naughty Dog hacer esto ya que es un juego muy esperado por muchos jugadores y van a vender igual, Que necesidad habia de engañar al publico con trailers que engañan a tu audiencia?, Pongo ejemplos, En los trailers ponían a Joel mucho mas viejo en flashbacks para hacer creer que Joel estaría presente en la historia, También lo ponían en situaciones donde no debería estar como por ejemplo cuando Jessie llega a Seattle en los trailers era Joel envés de Jessie, En fin en ese punto me pareció una verdadera farsa y estupidez, En fin hay muchas más polémicas pero esas fueron las que mas me molestaron o destacaron en mi parecer.

    Conclusión Final: The Last Of Us Parte II es un juego con una historia brillante pero muy mal contada y con unos puntos que no se logra entender del todo, La jugabilidad es muy buena mezclando un juego de supervivencia y sigilo con unos momentos de suspenso, Las polémicas para esta juego son un montón algunas muy ciertas y algunas muy tontas, Es un juego que no es una mierda como piensan los haters, Pero no una obra maestra como piensan los fanboys.    … Expand

    The new mechanics and approaches to fighting, looting and simply exploring are outstanding, as you feel you have so much more freedom than before.
    The graphics are simply out of this world, as you can feel not only the environment around, but you can feel you are in the environment. It was also a trademark of the first game, but in this one, with all the tech advances, you can say that there is almost none (if none actually) difference between a cutscene and the gameplay itself.
    The plot itself is also incredible, teaching us life messages on and on. It makes us feel what the characters feel, seek what they seek more than anything, but gives us, as "the third person" in the story, the chance to see whats right and wrong, which culminates in the understanding of the game itself. It makes the player stick to the game in order to see what's next and as a groundbreaking and cinematic experience as it is, it's a roller coaster of feelings and emotions.
    It is such an engaging experience that we can feel rage, hate, fear and happiness, all of that in one of the best, if not the best video game created until this date.    … 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.
