    Another masterpiece from Naughtydog! The gameplay loop is engaging and enjoyable the entire time, the environments are open enough to make you feel like you have freedom. The visuals are the best I've ever seen, and it's using 7 year ild hardware. The story is amazing too! Telling an heartfelt story of revenge and how anyone can be seen as a villain when you only get half the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. si crees que este juego es solamente política a favor de la comunidad LGBT+ estas completamente equivocado y si vienes con que los juegos no devén contener contenido político bienvenido a esta revelación cada juego contiene contenido político, el problema de este es que las primeras horas enfatiza sobre la sexualidad de nuestra protagonista y creo que reiterar su orientación sexual es muy aburrido para el jugador.

    Pasando mas a fondo el juego es bastante crudo y te da a entender como actúa el ser humano en momento de crisis.

    creo que la antagonista fue un poco decepcionante en ningún momento logro sentir una conexión con ella o mas que nada entender por que es así.    … Expand

    Id be remiss for talking about the sequel, without first mentioning it's predecessor.

    When I first played The Last Of Us in 2013 for the Playstaion 3, I was like 19 and thought it was the best game on the planet. Now, I've played it 2 in the last two weeks; once for the store, and once for the Grounded Mode gameplay. There were things that I still LOVED about the game, like how fluid it was and how well written/spoken the characters were. While Uncharted's Nathan Drake was a treasure hunting serial murderer with no regard for human life, Joel was a tired, grieving man who felt as though everything is did was to protect and survive. But while Uncharted has a ton of monotonous climbing (albeit with a few scripted moments to keep things fresh), The Last of Us had annoying Ladders and "drag this over here" moments to pad gameplay. It's kind of ridiculous how often you had to pick up a ladder just to literally walk it two **** inches from its destination. AND THE PALLETS, OH GOD THE PALLETS... But the combat and story is where the game shined. The shooting and aim was pretty rough, but the combat was still one of the best experiences I've had in gaming even after 7 years of playing better games. While it couldn't hold a candle to the recent God Of War, it was so crisp when youd throw a molotov at a small group, dip behind cover and choke a guy out, take out a guy from across the room with a boy and then finish of the last guy with good old-fashioned fists. It was nice how every fight felt a little different. Sometimes youd push a guy off some stairs for a kill, or smash their head in if there were against a wall. It was brutal, intense, and impressive when you think about how far this game pushed the limits of the PS3. And the story was so incredible, it really didn't need a sequel, even though fans of the game, including my 19 year old self, really wanted one. Watching Joel go from brooding and dark to tragically optimistic after a year with Ellie was tear-jerking, while watching a Ellie go from snarky and quick-witted to tragically hopeless because of Joel was gloomy and perfect.

    The Last of Us 2 is amazing.

    While the story isn't amazing, I think it needed to happen. The was playing the first game with my roomate in the area, and she constantly was like, "So do these characters just get to walk away from all this with no consquences whatsoever?" And it raised a great point. After beating the original Last of Us, questions I hadn't considered as a teen were raised now. Could Joel just walk into a hospital, kill a ton of innocent people, and walk out of it to start a happy life with Ellie and not be held accountable in any way shape or form? And if he could, is that really how life works? Would Ellie forgive him for robbing her of being a sacrifice for a cure to an apocalypse? What would the dynamic be after that?

    The Last of Us: Part II answers a lot of questions and raises a few more, and while the story takes a bit longer to wrap up than needed to, the overall message is clear.

    I've heard a lot of review talk about how they became unphased and deafed by the gore and blood this game offers. And honestly, get the **** over it. If you could watch scenes from The Walking Dead, or play Mortal Kombat and go "awh man, I gotta see what happens next," then dont tell me about how the gore was too much for you. It wasn't that bad, I've seen much worse, and if games are designed with the idea that they will become increasingly cinematic and realistic then all this game does in the realism department is take a big step forward. If bloody games bother you, maybe play Pokemon. They have new DLC.

    To people saying the characters don't make good choices, and that Ellie isn't the same. No, of course Ellie isn't the **** same. And if you take time to consider the fact that she was dragged across the country at the age of 14 by a guy in this 50's who's capable of murdering hundred of zombies and people with only his fists and a few handcrafted shivs ALL so that she could find out she's actually NOT able to save the planet from a disease shes immune to, you might be able to understand why. I haven't come across anything that made me go "now why would they do that."

    Also, if you watched the trailer of Ellie kissing a girl and went "why is Naughty Dog pushing a gay agenda on me?" then just don't play this game. Its cast is a lot more colorful and progressive than any game thats ever been out, and if youre upset by that idea then save your money. But in my opinion, it was going to happen eventually and I'm glad Naughty Dog got to steer it in a nice "not in your face but this is happening so get over it" direction.

    I wasn't HAPPY about some of the things that happened in this game, but I understood why they did. I think its time to open your eyes and stop thinking about what you would have WANTED to happen, and what actually makes sense.    … Expand

    I love it. Its dark. Its brutal. And it feels Real. I've played the first one Back in 2013. And i think the second one is just as good. Overcome the hate. Give it a chance. Politics aside. I was here for the second Part of this Story. And i got it. And it looks Beautiful while it breaks my heart. Just Play it for yourself.

The gameplay, the story, the acting... all excellent. Naughty dog really are the best game developers in the business. Oh yeah and for the people who have a problem with the “major death”... get over it. It’s the developers story and they gave it justice. Absolutely heart wrenching. I strongly suggest playing the game for yourself and experiencing the beauty of TLOU2. It was worth the wait and worth every pound spent.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Heroes don't live forever... I think most of the low reviews are from people who just play until that sad and twisted scene but I don't understand humanity... People want video games to be more realistic and sad but true that's life... In a blink of an eye you're gone. I know, some people even claim that Joel is te best character ever written but be honest what end do yo think will suit better? This is not uncharted people! The dark world that Druckmann created is wild and brutal so that's what he and his team still gives you in this masterpiece. Game of thrones did this many times before and I don't remember this kind of bombing. And about the complaints about this game being "woke" man... Look around you... The World is changing in a accelerated way we need to move with it good characters don't need to be of some specific sexual orientation some people may say that's not the matter but I read a lot of comments throwing hate to Abby saying a lot of homofobic things... And that's messed up. Just to end this personal opinion I may say it's groundbreaking the work and effort Naughty Dog put into this it's truly amazing and I didn't spect less from that monster of entertainment. And one last message to the people who has doubts about the game : leave all prejudices behind and most of all leave behind all the people who's trying to mess up the game. the game is truly amazing... So join the ride and enjoy.… 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.

    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]
