    A game with a very rich storyline. Very lively atmosphere, people, just imbued with a setting. The cruel, uncompromising reality of the post-apocalyptic world. It deeply shows that a coin always has two sides, but each has its own truth. And of course, "war, war never changes". After all, torn between two desires: come back and run away

    the game is beautiful, it may not be fully experienced because of the limited capacity of the ps4, but other than that it is all beautiful, realistic and very violent as it is meant to be.

    La verdad el juego es excelente, valla es crudo el videojuego pero muy bueno por un momento pensé en dejarlo ya que es cruel pero cuando te vas adentrando en la historia no la puedes dejar, mi opinión profesional es un excelente videojuego de esta generación de consola y si lo quieren probar el recomiendo que se esperen a la play 5 para probarlo con mejores gráficos

    I just finished The Last of Us Part 2. The largely negative user review scores I find baffling. Having done nothing but play the game the last two days (like it was my full time job 12 hours a day plus I don’t know how anyone finished it faster then me) I am moved, I am heart broken, and I have grown. Are we the perpetrators of our own harm? That is the biggest question I’m left withI just finished The Last of Us Part 2. The largely negative user review scores I find baffling. Having done nothing but play the game the last two days (like it was my full time job 12 hours a day plus I don’t know how anyone finished it faster then me) I am moved, I am heart broken, and I have grown. Are we the perpetrators of our own harm? That is the biggest question I’m left with having completed the game. We don’t always know the direct consequences of our actions but the consequences persist nonetheless.

    I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone (although I’m tempted to believe anyone who wanted to have this spoiled has already done so) but suffice to say this game tackles some really complex issues and raises important questions. What am I willing to do for revenge, what purpose do I have, what am I good for without such purpose, what do we do with our own trauma? No single game can ask and answer all these questions in a conclusive way, but this game takes time and moments to allow you to breath into the unease of those very hefty concepts. Was it fun? It’s hard to say, I would argue neither this game or it’s predecessor is as concerned with that as it is with you reflecting humanity and all it’s flaws in indescriminate detail. You may not love Ellie by the end of this. There are no hero’s here. The underlaid question, “does acting on the most human of impulses in trauma lead to the perpetuation of that trauma? Can we grow from this?” continues to circle in my mind. This isn’t just gaming, it’s a psych course on the effects of PTS. Putting your hands behind some heinous actions.

    But at the end of this all you’ll still want better for Ellie while understanding what trauma causes. View her kindly as she is not the sole perpetrator at fault here, an unending cycle of violence that she was born into that she knows no alternative to is the real villain at the center of this game. I’ll give her (and her counterpart) the grace of forgiveness, since the world there been built around her has not afforded her the luxury.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a huge fan of TLOU and the universe created by NaughtyDog. I've been hype for this release since they announced it in 2016 and was really enjoying the game for the first 6-7 hours or so, playing as Ellie primarily and seeing Joel's death was a great way to justify going to Seattle. After this first honeymoon phase though the game got progressively worse for me. Playing as Abby for such a large portion of the game really killed my urge to play. Seeing her perspective of what Ellie was doing was honestly a pretty good idea by NaughtyDog but I think the pure amount of time spent as her really ruined it for me. By the ending Abby had spared Ellie's life twice and I hardly had an urge to kill her anymore. I didn't personally like how Neil forced his SJW agenda into the game but it wasn't a major negative, just something to bring up. This game probably doesn't deserve a 7 at the end of the day but I just love this franchise so much and the game definitely has it's strengths. When major events happened and with Joel's death specifically I really felt emotions for the characters and for an hour or two after his death I wanted to kill them just as badly as Ellie, these emotions fizzled out as the game progressed. The graphics are obviously good and the pure depth of the world was amazing. I enjoyed knowing I could approach encounters however I wanted. If the entire game could've been as good as the first 1/3 this would be a 10/10 game. If I weren't so biased towards loving this world and franchise this game would be a 5 or 6.… Expand

    This video game is a notorious change from its predecessor, it shows us a darker side of what Naughty Dog is capable of creating, this game has good mechanics, good and refined controls, and a story that will put you to the test of what you could do for revenge, in a nutshell, this game will go down in history as one of the unforgettable PS4 exclusives

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolutely amazing game. Yes the story is slightly disappointing in that Joel is killed before Ellie's eyes turning her in to one crazy **** on a revenge spree. They've turned the violence and gore notch to maximum and what you get is a proper cat and mouse game relying on stealth, stamina and and and a good old brain bashing with a piece of pipe or baseball bat. Sneaking around and taking down the WLF made me feel like Rambo taking out the Russians and I'm only a couple of hours in to the game yet. Can't wait to see how the story develops. I did hate the fact that there was too much LGBTQ in the storyline, about too much for my liking, but aside from that the visuals and graphics are eye candy for the eyes, it is a masterpiece that retains some of the charm from the first game and yet builds on it some more. Truly impressed.… Expand

    If you liked the first one...you should like this one too. It’s beautiful, polished, and emotional. I don’t really understand the hate on it. Not coming for anyone’s opinion who played the whole way through and didn’t like it...but to those who didn’t even give it a real chance...this low rating isn’t fair. Even if you didn’t like it...it’s not a 3.6. That’s obviously absurd.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At the end credits now, first off all the people giving it 1/10 and 0/10 actually play the game lmao, it’s not that bad. No I am not a fan of Joel’s death, it feels so out of character for him to give his name out and trust strangers compared to the first game. Graphics are amazing and I really enjoyed the gameplay, voice acting was alright don’t believe people saying it was terrible when it wasn’t. How ever I did enjoy seeing abbys story arc surprise surprise(sorry I have an open mind). BUT when playing as Abby in the boss fight against Ellie, wtaf??!??! you can’t expect us to want to fight a character we love, so many time during the fight I wouldn’t press square during the QuickTime events because I didn’t want to do anything to Ellie, nor did I try to fight her, I got Abby shot multiple times before realising I have to fight her. Alright I could go on forever about what this game does right and wrong a lot more wrong but this was going to be a 7/10 for me, until the ending, the flashback scene was nice made my eyes tear up but then it cuts back and j ends w her walking off, are ye serious?!? Would have been way better if another 10-20 min was added to see the aftermath of her returning to dina, tommy, JJ and all that but no, hence the 5/10. Would I recommend this game? Ehit’s really upto u as a person to decide but personally I would say no. final verdict- DISAPPOINTED… 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.
