    This is one of the best games for PS4. It’s not a sequel, it’s an extension of the first story. Absolutely recommended

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this game has a lot of depth. It literally makes you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, you see the work through their eyes. I love Ellie and I only saw things the way she did until playing Abby. I felt for Abby and saw her struggle and pain. I felt this game was so human and raw. This game reminded me that everyone has a story, and no matter the pain one person feels, or the justification they see in their actions, we all are a villain or a hero to someone in this world. Really loved this game 10/10… Expand

    The Last of Us is one of the best games of the generation. If you are the best, a game that offers you very high quality, a very wonderful story and a very attractive and magical world that deserves the title and award of the undisputed game of the year

    A comparación del primero este no es para cualquiera, recomendaría de ser posible jugarlo sin ningún spoiler, ya que la historia es complicada y muy tediosa

    I bought this game to play over christmas and new Year and I am very disappointed.
    The coordination and chaos during scenes with Zombies appearing is simply too much, you cant avoid dying and you need to check in which part of the map you need to run.
    It reminds me of old Dragons lair where you needed also to die 100 times to learn which path to follow. Last but not least the Homosexual    I bought this game to play over christmas and new Year and I am very disappointed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game with amazing gameplay and story. People say the story is bad but this is because they do not understand it. If someone wants story about super heroes then there is a lot of such content already written. If someone prefers to see how real life can look in a post apocalyptic world, then he or she should play this game. Emotions that this game creates will last for long after the game is finished. This is the story about love, about attachment, about hate about (lack of) forgiveness but especially about revenge, No one is a winner in this game (even a player). This is a masterpiece, I love it and I support creators for such innovative approach. Keep up the good work!… Expand

    What a work of art. What a punch to the stomach. Brave, powerful and adult.
    Adult on the themes, subtext, atmosphere, rythm.
    Technically is an spectacle. Animation, sounds, music and graphics are amazing.
    A masterpiece for sure.

Yes, a lot of bloody, sweat and crunch was sacrificed at the altar to create this game but shady development practices aside, the quality is unmatched. Mechanically, it is perfect. Where it falters is in the chronology of its narrative. I understand why it is ordered the way it is but it ultimately puts too much emphasis on the rare interactions between its opposing protagonists. We get it, revenge doesn't get you anywhere. That point is made relatively soon in the story but it continues to hammer the same nail right up to the end and it is emotionally exhausting. The story is brilliant in principle. Characters behave in manners true to themselves and the performances are phenomenal. But there are no moments of catharsis like there were in the original TLOU. Instead it is a sequence of actions, taken in the name of hatred that, little-by-little destroy the character taking those actions. Every Act with Ellie ends with her reaching a new rock bottom and it is so oppressively depressing.

    Ultimately I have scored this game from a technical perspective. It is a marvel to see running on a PS4, the gameplay is thrilling and I was invested in the story. Yet I must add, I did not enjoy playing TLOU2 because of how it made me feel. The ending is so hopelessly miserable that I googled whether there was a secret ending that I missed. You spend 30 hours descending into this story of misery to find there really is no light at the end of the tunnel, just more misery. It's horrible and really shouldn't be played by anyone whose emotions are easily affected by watching their favourite TV show, or reading their favourite book. You'll get invested in these well-rounded characters and catch some severe depression as you experience what happens to them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved and hated it at the same time. It has quite a roller coaster of emotions during the play.
    1. Bought it on discount on blackfriday and played it in November 2020 on PS5 on 4K TV, therefore enjoyed the best graphics with 0 lags. It's a truly beautiful game.

    2. STORY. It's good. Better than most of the games out there. But not the best. At the first glance, I saw lots of HOLES in the story. But on my second playthrough, I understood some connections that didn't make sense on the first playthrough. Storytelling here is both f***ed up and good

    3. NARRATIVE and CHARACTERS. This is the strongest and part of Last of US. Can't talk about these without spoilers. They let you play as "bad guys". That is a controversy I have never seen previously in the games and it made me rethink the motivations of "bad guys". Got to admit in the beginning I hated so much playing as Abby that didn't even want to invest in her skills. Then fighting Ellie as a boss I wanted Ellie to win... and I see why many players hated the game just because it seems like they want us(players) to care about Abby and her storyline.

    If the beginning of the game wasn't so f***ed up, there is a chance players would care about Abby storyline more. But apparently, Naughty Dog decided to f*** us up. It is BOLD. For that they deserve credit. In a way I can say that it's innovation. I started to question my actions, on whatever I should kill them or not.. But at the end of the day realized that it's just a game... kept on shooting, cutting, blowing and smashing... painting Seatle in red.

    4. Loved parts when Ellie was a teen again with Joel. Especially the museum part. It felt like Joel and Ellie's story again. Wish there was more of it.

    Overall rich experience. Rich with UPs and DOWNs with great potential for further development. Want to see more from Naughty Dog that's why put 10.    … Expand

    Great play which is produced very little. Excellent production, the sound of nature and whistles, the plot and interesting characters that you empathize with (at the end, crying). Of the minuses, not enough action is not particularly fun shootout when you have 10 bullets in your pocket, and you yourself understand what thoughts were promoted through the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game took risks, and it's still a very divisive topic. You've all seen and heard all about it by now, so I'll put it plain and say I think the decisions made for the story were bold and took storytelling to a different level. I, of course, didn't like how quick Joel was killed off, BUT, neither did Ellie. Naughty Dog forced you to walk in the shoes of the "antagonist" we all watched brutally kill a beloved character. For me, I ended up liking both characters and left things feeling super complex in an ambiguous way. It was all a big psych evaluation from beginning to end. My biggest complaint is really the ending, which is why I'm giving it a 7 (which is still a 'good' score for me). It felt like they didn't know how to end the game and just felt thrown together in an otherwise epic narrative, it wasn't really a short game and the ending was just bland. I still enjoyed the game, it was fun, intense, and downright gorgeous. While I still had a couple of issues with some decisions that were made I STILL appreciate what they were going for.… Expand

Para empezar los mismos desarrolladores dijeron que querian que la segunda parte se sintiera un juego distinto del primero pero directamente lo que hicieron fue tirar al suelo y escupir todo lo que habiamos jugado del primero y que en ves de que se tratara de cariño y respeto seria de odio y venganza y eso no esta mal como concepto pero a la hora de ejecutarlo en el juego lo hicieron todo mal poniendo personajes que nadie conocia y a nadie le importaban y matarlos para hacer que el jugador "sintiera pena"? no lo e pero el hecho de que maten al personaje principal del primer juego de una manera tan humillante y ridicula solo para que despues a la hora de vengarze ellie decida personarla despues de todo lo que le hiso de matar a la gente que queria y lastimar a dinay tommy y aun desoues de haberla golpeado brutalmente cuando pelea con ella al final solo piensa " a mejor la perdono" es simplemente estupido, ridiculo, lamentable y sin sentido porque lo unico que querian todos los jugadores era matarla de la manera mas dolorosa posible… Expand

    Resumen: Abby es buena por que cuida a los animalitos y le mataron al papá, Ellie es mala por que mata animalitos y a una embarazada
    Que lástima haber gastado $60usd por esta decepción.
    Abby... Matar al sujeto que te acaba de salvar la vida te pone en deuda con él o por lo menos darle una explicación y en todo caso matarlo sin hacerlo sufrir.

    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]
