    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 has a complex story, and might be the best looking game of this generation, Part 3 coming soon?

    The gameplay has been remade and it shows. It improves on the TLOU1 mechanics and you can see that very easily, the gameplay easily is the best part of the game.

    The graphics are also improved heavily. Since the game is linear, they tried to make the graphics better then any other Video Games have and they achieved it.

    Now let's get into the story. TLOU 2 has a really complex story that not everyone might understand. I will get into spoilers from now so be sure to finish the game before reading my review.

    The story takes it's place during a few years. There are 2 playable characters (Ellie and Abby). At the beginning of the game we see Abby killing Joel but the game doesn't give us a proper reason till we reach half of the game. The Fireflies are gone and now there are 2 new groups, WLF and Scars (Seraphites). For the first half of the game you play as Ellie, you are on a quest to find Abby and the rest of the group that helped her kill Joel. You will go through Seattle for a period of 3 days. After you reach half of the game you find out that Abby and her father were part of the Firefly group, and that her father was the doctor supposed to make the cure for the virus by killing Ellie. While everyone saw Abby as the antagonist, she has a pretty similar story to Ellie. At the end you are playing as Ellie, everything is good now. Dina has a kid and Tommy is still alive. The last fight is Ellie vs Abby and you are playing as Ellie. At the end of the fight you nearly kill Abby but a flashback with Joel comes up, Ellie lets Abby live because now she understands why Abby killed Joel. Abby escapes and reaches the newly formed Firefly group. Ellie goes back to the farmhouse to find Dina and the kid left. Ellie goes to the guitar but she can't sing anymore since she lost 2 fingers. She leaves the guitar near the window and the game ends.

    Now here comes the complex part that i think everyone missed. When the guitar and window are focused on the screen, Ellie is seen leaving the house but in a blurry vision. It most probably represents that Ellie finally forgave that Joel saved her, and even forgave Abby for what she did. Ellie finally understood why both Joel and Abby did it. The guitar in the window means that Ellie left the house leaving everything that has happened behind and she wants to continue her life without thinking about the past anymore, she knows that rage and revenge won't get her anywhere. The story wants to tell you that we are all humans and that we do things because of our rage, and we don't think about our actions before doing it.

    The game left me speechless. Everyone has a different opinion and everyone should say it out loud.

    This is what i thought about the game.    … Expand

    Historia plana y conveniente, graficos muy buenos, pero la historia que es lo que caracterizo a la primer entrega es totalmente destrozada por una nueva que te deja con un sin sabor de boca, un juego que se quedo corto a lo que prometía y que fue destrozado en parte por la corrección politica moderna.

    The plot could have worked. But you cant skip essential parts. Like first when your "protagonist" (abby) make the decision to kill cruel you must first let us give her motivation, you must make that we really feel her emotion and can understand her decision for revenge and only to say her dad was that NPC surgeon we kill in the first game is not good enough.

    the game is magnificent, a masterpiece of "Naughty dog", it has a very good story, a gameplay similar to the first but more polished and not to mention the soundtrack of the game.
    you can appreciate all this IF YOU PLAYED it to qualify
    this great PS4 exclusive is really worth playing

    Great graphics; good ost and animations; a non innovative gameplay, which overstays it's welcome and ends up making the last third of the game boring, and a story that harms it's self for the sake of delivering a message, one that could have been delivered without harming the structure nor the pacing nor the characters.

    I love this game so much. Someday people will realize that only a heterosexual relationship does not have to be behind a good script. This game showed me the bitterness of loss, and how feelings can prevail over you, both on the good side and, unfortunately, on the bad side.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel is used to sell the game but is eliminated within the first hour. Then you play as his "female" murderer for the rest of the game. This is more of a commercial for woke politics rather than a cohesive story. As a fan of the first game I was extremely let down. Not worth the wait.… Expand

    Cagaron la historia en un juego donde lo principal es la historia. Sin la historia todo lo demás no sirve. Y aclaro que no tiene nada que ver la Inclusión. La historia es una mierda enorme. Y dicen que vendió millónes de copias, claro, pues fueron las copias que pre-ordenaron, si se hubiera enterado de la tremenda mierda de juego que es deseguro nadie lo compraria.

    What a waste of seven years. At some point these AAA developers need to think about who they are making their games for. Is it for the sweet sweet critic love, or for the actual people who play the game and enjoy escaping reality. The saddest part of it all is they will still make a ton of money and just continue to make what they want, audience be damned.

    If you ruin all of Last of Us IP and horrible story that nobody care than it is a bad game. One of the worst in the gaming history. Joel and Ellie deserves better.

    Pay attention folks. This game is the latest example of how SJW liberal lefty loser want to destroy our precious stories and mythologies. They do it in a manner that is maximum disrespect to the fans. This game is the worst trash I've ever played! The way they destroyed all the character development from the first game make me go insane. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS GARBAGE!

    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]
