    I want to start by saying that I love Naughty Dog! I played all the Jack and Daxter games back in the PS2 era. I played uncharted 1, 2 and 3 & ofcourse The Last of Us in the PS3 era.

I can understand what they were trying to do, but for the life of me, I could not get in to the second half playing as Abby. It did not feel as enjoyable as switching between Joel & Ellie in the 1st game. Much respect to you guys @ ND, but i just played my Last of Us remastered & am choosing to have this be my TLOU experience.… Expand

Story was perfect too just because they killed joel doesnt make story **** on the contrary game give us feeling same as ellie's fsslings. She was not good with joel and we cant even see joel and he died we were sorry just like ellie. and the abby part maybe boring in the beginning but this part was super too we should have seen this moment as abby.… Expand

    Uninspired story with dull, unlikeable characters riddled with identity politics. Disappointing to say the least and a spit in the face to fans.

    The last of us part 2 is truly amazing ! Naughty dog is the best in storytelling by far. The game takes big risk but if you wanted to feel the emotion of the first one, they couldn't have done it otherwise. It totally worked for me and it's logical. It's more complex and deeper. Thank you Naught dog, you did it again !

Несмотря на довольно простой сюжет о мести, разработчики смогли показать его интересно. Особенно впечатлило, как разработчики смогли провести тебя (игрока) от ненависти к персонажу до сопереживания ему и обратно. Обе сюжетные ветки очень затянули.

    Great game. Loved it. But you are not ready for this conversation. Once you understand where stories are going to in video games, you'll look back at this game with other eyes. It is just such a ballsy story, so surprisingly different from spected and ambicious as well. The rest, is perfection.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 was my most anticipated game. After dodging spoilers left and right, I finally played the game through and was happy to beat it. The visuals and the scenes were awesome and beautiful. Combat was a plus from the last game and enemies felt more real and combat was explosive. I want to state the bad. After the death of Joel, I felt Ellie did not grieve enough and the trip to Seattle was too quick. Abby had her revenge completed and Ellie fell flat in the end by letting her go. Ellie killed Abby's friends and that was a plus, but I did not feel bad for them really. The Joel flashbacks would have been sooo much better if it was chronological from the start of the game. Maybe 1 flashback would have been fine. The Abby flashback was great and after laughing for years about how Joel killed the doctor with a scalpel, I did feel bad about it in this game. Also, the trip to California was really short and fell flat and was unexciting. I assumed I would get a couple more hours of gameplay, but it was roughly about 1 hour. I can see that this game was meant about loss and revenge for Joel. Jesse's death was sad and out of nowhere. A great character is killed and the only thing we see left of Jesse is a picture on the farm.Issac would have been a better character, but his screen time was really weak. Seeing that the fireflies are still around is cool and could open up to another game. The Scars were awesome and i loved the whistle call outs they did. WLF was neat and the community they had was alive and interesting. I thought Tommy died near the end and slammed my fist down on my desk, so I was emotionally attached to the story and that was all the mattered to me. I enjoyed the hell out of this game and will play it again to get the trophies. The last of us 1 was my favorite game of all time, but this one did not top that. Thank You.… Expand

    The game not only justified its existence but it is pretty damn good sequel on its own. One of the best games I’ve played this year; a swan song for the PS4.

    Gameplay is amazing. Graphics are perfect. And the story.... it is a piece of art. It makes you feel as empty as Ellie and the plot is so honest. I mean: in an apocalyptical world, the story is never to be fairy tale.

    Graphics are amazing , gameplay has vastly improved since the first. The story is also a lot more mature and visceral which gets lost on the incel audience. If you're an adult who appreciates art then this is another epic game for ND

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pesar de todo lo que se había comentado decidí jugarlo y establecer una opinión personal del juego. No es malo como todo mundo lo quiere hacer ver, el hecho de que la muerte de Joel se de en un momento tan temprano es lo que desencadena toda la trama del juego y para mí su muerte es algo que podría pasarle tarde o temprano pues cuantas personas no mató durante su camino en TLOU1.
    De ahí en adelante el juego es cierto que por parte se vuelve demasiado tedioso siguiendo un largo ciclo: Matar-avanzar un poco-matar- avanzar un poco. Creo que se pudieron ahorrar varias horas de juego si esto no pasara.
    Mucha gente igual se queja de que te "obliguen" a jugar con Abby y yo siento que es parte fundamental para comprender el porque de su odio a Joel, incluso creo que la historia de Abby se vuelve más interesante en ciertos momentos que la de Ellie haciéndote reflexionar con ella, no le llamemos empatizar porque todos la odiamos y la seguiremos odiando por lo que le hizo a Joel pero al menos el juego te intenta dar la perspectiva desde su punto de vista.
    Llego al final de mi review con el final del juego, la verdad pensé que después de aparecer en una nueva casa, con JJ y Dina en ella se terminaba todo pero de repente llega Tommy con nueva información del paradero de Abby y nos volvemos a embarcar con Ellie a la ciudad de Santa Bárbara. En esta parte encontramos a Abby y Lev en un estado deplorable y aquí comienza la pelea final donde ambas con más impetu que fuerza se intentan matar, cuando parecía que Ellie ahogaría a Abby le llega el recuerdo de Joel y decide soltarla, dejándola escapar en una lancha junto a Lev. En esta parte me hubiera gustado que después de tanto viaje que hizo Ellie, matara mínimo a Abby pero igual puedo comprender hasta cierto punto el porque de su decisión de no hacerlo. El hecho de matarla ya no remediaría todo lo que pasó a lo largo del viaje, Ellie dejaría a su suerte a Lev, tal como Abby la dejó a ella al momento que mató a Joel.
    Finalmente, en el epílogo Ellie regresa a su casa para darse cuenta que Dina ya no está y no hay nada en la casa más que sus pertenencias, incluida su guitarra la cuál intenta tocar pero al haber perdido dos dedos que le fueron arrancados de parte de Abby ya no suena igual, es ahí donde se da cuenta que lo ha perdido todo, incluso el único vínculo que tenía con Joel.

    Conclusión: Este un gran juego, con una historia más allá de la inclusión, no se le acerca al primero claramente pero si trae una historia que definitivamente es digna de llevar el nombre del juego original    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. -Graphics: 10, nothing to say about the graphics, this is the best looking PS4 game.
    -Gameplay: 7, a little repetitive, nothing out of the ordinary compared to the first game.
    -Story: 4, this is where it gets worse. The game obviously wants you to think that revenge is bad and stuff, but you don't really UNDERSTAND the message, the game makes you feel it by throwing shocking, violent scenes that are made to disgust you. The motivation of the characters are sometimes really confusing, I don't get why Abby tortured Joel on purpose for seemingly no reason; she didn't have to do that. This is why I don't like Abby, even at the end of the game. The game wants you to hate her in the beginning, and then you have to forgive her and to see her as a "nice person". I think it's really hard to go through all of these emotions after a character TORTURED a beloved character from the first game, especially after hating her so much in the beginning. I get what they wanted to do but it's executed poorly, with a lot of (too many) plot holes to help the story.
    -Sounds and OST: 9, the musics are as good as the first game, and sounds are well done.
    -Characters: 3, I didn't really like all the secondary characters like Dina and Jesse, even though I felt something during Jesse's death, so that's good I guess. Lev and Yara are meh, I didn't care when Yara died, and if Lev were to die, I wouldn't care either. The worst ones are Abby's friends, mainly because I don't care about Abby's life and stuff. I just want them to die (I was even happy when Manny died), or I just don't care about them because I know they will die in the first place. And for the characters in the first game, I really don't think they are the same. Joel death in particular, was just really stupid. I get that after 4 years being at Jackson, he became more human, but I didn't see that before he gets killed. Flashbacks where he is actually nice come AFTER he died. Again, poorly executed.
    -Pacing: 3, I really didn't like playing as Abby. I actually didn't want to play as her, I just did it to see the ending and what happened in the theater. Also, Ellie's first day in Seattle is boring. I would've preferred to play as Abby 10 hours before Joel's death, because after she kills Joel what's even the point to make me appreciate her? I just didn't want to play as someone that killed someone I like, especially in a dumb situation like that.
    All of this makes an overral score of 6, which is in my opinion a fair score. I don't why you would put a perfect score if you played the first game, but I also don't get why you would score a 0 because Joel dies.    … Expand

    This game is great, the gameplay is much better than the first game. The characters are great, the story is good but not as compelling as the first games. People are just triggered by some of the plot points and are riding the hate train caused by the leaks, it's ridiculous.

    Le 2ème chef d'œuvre de Naughty dogs. Un jeu qui te bouscule dans tout les sens en jeu et même après la fin du jeu. Une leçon d'écriture de personnages, d'univers qui nous fait plonger dans le jeu du début à la fin.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So you like the walking dead, you love glenn and Abraham, then negan comes along and kills them. You're e Rick and go for revenge... But then without warning you are stuck being negan and meant to care about him how ever nice he is.....and then you gotta fight negan as Rick and then fight negan as Rick and at the end nothing happens and it was all pointless. Thats this game. I gwt the devs choices but it didnt work. It took me like 8 hours of being pissed ofg about having to play as abby that it spoiled the game.... And the ironic part is abbys story is the only good and interesting part about the story. I just spent 26 hours disappointed. The combat seems very unbalanced. Its either too easy or very OP. fighting doesnt happen very often so its difficult to get into a good momentum. The autosave at times was twrrible. Beginning of a boss fight unprepared with nothing made and it saves like that. So have to die rinse and repeat u til you fluke the win.... This happened to me with the mega monster in the hospital. Tbh probably wouldnt be a bad game if it wasnt a sequek to one of fhe greatest stories ever told.… Expand

    El final se lleva a una decepción que esta muy bien pensado pero mal implementado y las inclusiones no venden si pensaban que con eso era el todo ya que la historia y jugabilidad tienen que ser el arte de cada video juego, al final No me gusto nada en absoluto era el 1 pero con mejores gráficos y mal historia.

    This game is one big drama. Characters are to suffer in every moment of their life's. There is nothing positive about this world. The game tries to force you to share the drama, but after a moment you just stop caring. There is no contrast, almost no happy moments. Technically thr game is great. Visuals are great, but the game is exhausting and negative.

    An amazing game - with a story that drives real emotion into you. The gameplay is phenomenal and the graphics are insane. They told the story they wanted, maybe not necessarily what people wanted to see - but its without a doubt one of the best story telling in recent years.

    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]
