    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like that this game explore the opposite feelings of Last Of Us. In the previous game it explores the grieving feelings and depression of being unable to do something about losing someone (Sarah), control of your life and the reality that you live (20years of smuggling and stop caring about his brother and life ) ; and in this sequel, Ellie handles her grief for Joel with anger, retaliation and dealing with all the pain that she knows she will have to do ( to her enemies, her friends, partner and herself) and willingly lose her life to avenge the one who gave her a new meaning to her existence (joel was a pretty good almost-dad to her). I really don’t enjoy shooters or survival games but the story keeps you going.… Expand

    It's just ridiculous. We're used to top-notch graphics already, so for the game to have great graphics is not an advantage anymore. What I need when I play a game is a satisfying story with a satisfying conclusion. The characters can be LGBT, POC, buffed machos, women, squirrels, bandicoots, whatever, it does not matter. What matters is a story. Especially for a STORY DRIVEN GAME. It's notIt's just ridiculous.

It's not like Skyrim, where you can spend weeks just wandering around. Just imagine, if in Witcher 3 they killed Geralt after the intro and told you to play as Ciri through the first half of the game, as Eredin for the other half, and in the end, you didn't even kill Eredin. It's just ridiculous. Naughty Dog - never more.… Expand

    WHY!?! I can't believe this came from naughty dog, none of my friends(who were TLOU fans) enjoyed this game, I am tired of being force fed politics in games and tv whether I agree with it or not.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Angry, sad and confused these words summarize my experience with this game. TLOU 1 was a masterpiece, it was story like we never seen before, it was breathtaking. TLOU 2 is beautiful looking game and it has great gameplay. Well gameplay doesn't have much innovation, but it worked in TLOU1 so i am good, but i don't get what happened during development of this game. How could they give this story green light. The story itself is just a messy garbage. None of the characters are interesting NONE!!! When some character dies you feel nothing like they werent even there and they die a lot. I just don't get why would you follow first game story with a story about revenge it seems lazy. This whole theme revenge is bad it's stupid. half of the game is basically pointless it's just the same **** but from the enemy side. After finishing this game I just feel like i wasted 30 hours. iT was truly horrible experience and i hope everybody that reads this review will understand that this mess is not worth your time and money. I still have to give it a six for its gameplay and graphics… Expand

    Not much is needed to be said that hasn’t been already. Great gameplay and looks terrific. Writing is just awful, I didn’t realize it was a love story. As well as the terrible assumption that the fans wanted this. I see it was never about the fans. Guess the lying worked in your favor Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For those of you that enjoyed the 1st game, prepare to be disappointed.

    The gameplay and graphics are easily the best of this generation but the story leaves a lot to be desired.



    Considering this is a linear story driven game, thats a big issue as unlike an open world game, if im not moving the story along, im stuck. I wont go into much detail concerning abby etc but its deceiving that she wasnt shown at all in the games marketing campaign.

    The game was not as good as the first part but still a must-play for last of us fans. i enjoyed every bit of this game when it comes to gameplay and cut scenes. The story was the only downfall in the 2nd part but still, i think you will enjoy the game because some of the game elements and gameplay is improved as compared to the first part.

Хотя сражения с зараженных удивили. Если бы не заигрывания разработчиков с феминисткам и прочей ересь, то игра бы вышла на 6.5/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve never reviewed a game on meta critic before but I feel like I have to write one for this game. Myself and many others feel completely lied to. The trailers built the game up to be something it was not. Ellie’s “quest for revenge,” for Joel takes a backseat to dumb drama with other characters I could care less about. Where the first game was one of the most well written stories in triple A gaming, the second one seems to be written by toddlers trying to push agendas. My only question for naughty dog would be “Who is this game for,” because it’s obviously not for fans of the original. I don’t know if I should even sell the game. It would just feel wrong putting this game in the hands of someone else, knowing what awaits them in this 25-40 hour train wreck.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mi honesta opinión.

    SPOILERS! Yo fui uno de los desafortunados en toparse con los leaks en Twitter, al verlos me sentí asqueado y muy decepcionado. Empero, a pesar de eso, decidí invertir mi dinero para conocer el por qué de cada decisión creativa y narrativa para poder compartir mi opinión, ya que considero que la moda actual de tirarle mierda al presente juego sin haberlo experimentado es ridícula.

    No vengo a hablarles del apartado técnico, gráfico, del gameplay, del sonido, de la banda sonora o de las interpretaciones del elenco, dichos aspectos son excelentes, de lejos lo mejor de esta generación.

    The Last of Us Part II me ofreció una de las experiencias más crudas e intensas que he experimentado dentro de un videojuego. El juego es duro, cruel, muy violento y oscuro, no teme presentar momentos y giros de guion que pueden ser considerados completamente descabellados o de mal gusto.

    Esta segunda parte juega con el tema de la venganza de una forma agridulce y muy compleja, tomando dos perspectivas distintas que nos deja en claro los estigmas, el costo, cuantas personas inocentes pueden salir afectadas y la ceguera durante tu travesía en busca de hacer justicia por mano propia.

    Por un lado, Ellie busca venganza por la brutal muerte de su figura paterna, pero a la vez se le adjunta su sentimiento de culpa por no haber tenido un momento de paz y reconciliación con Joel, cada muerte y asesinato que ejecuta la afecta psicológicamente pero su sed de venganza es más fuerte. Por el otro, tenemos a Abby, quien asesina a Joel por la muerte de su padre.

    Al tener ambos puntos de vista, nos damos cuenta de la realidad: ambas mujeres buscan la supervivencia, tienen amistades, pareja, buscan estabilidad y lo mejor para su gente. Esta venganza no es como de las famosas cintas de Hollywood, aquí no existe un villano, son personas comunes y corrientes que se encuentran en constante peligro por otros grupos sanguinarios y peligrosos.

    El final -muy polémico- me pareció brillante porque representa el cierre del círculo de la venganza. Ellie se da cuenta de que puede llegar a perdonar a Joel por una decisión tan brutal que afectó la esperanza de toda la humanidad, entonces, ¿Por qué no perdonar a esta mujer que buscaba lo mismo que ella? Ambas compartían el sentimiento de venganza y su ceguera provocó la muerte de varios amigos inocentes, si esto continuaba, ¿quiénes y cuántos serían los siguientes afectados por ese deseo?

    La última escena confirma el perdón de Ellie a Joel, dejando sus cosas, sus recuerdos y su guitarra atrás, para dar paso a lo siguiente y al fin comenzar a buscar una nueva esperanza.

    Uno de los mejores juegos del año.    … Expand

    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]
