    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just replayed TLOU1 and Left Behind 2 weeks ago, then finished this sequel during the weekend. I'll give 10 points to all the amazing graphics, level designs, some really cool cinematic moments and all the hard work people have put in making this game. But despite that, I'm giving a -10 for the poor story telling and for cheating us in the trailers.

    There are plot holes all over the game, and the actions of the main characters are simply not self-consistent. What Joel did at the end of the first game was selfish and horrible, but by sharing the same journey through the whole game, I can empathize with him. While in this sequel, I know and understand what the game is trying to tell me about revenge, but it just failed to make me empathize with the main characters and their choices. The closer I reach to the ending, the less feelings I have about this story. Just trying to see how it ends and get it over with. Similar feeling when I was watching the final season of Game of Thrones.

    I really wish this sequel never existed so I could keep the good memories on the fisrt game.    … Expand

    The game is bad, the trailer is misleading, the story is terrible and the 10 plus animal deaths were unnecessary. The gameplay is good but the game is very easy. 5/10.

    Great game overall. The first half might be my favourite game of all time, but it deeps a bit on the second half, with an ending that is good great and not so great. Overall, this game lived up to the first, which was really tough.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not gonna lie, when I completed The Last of Us back on PS3, never thought it was gonna have a sequel, like, what would it be the point or goal to achieve for Ellie and Joel? In my opinion, they destroyed the whole script with the ending in the first game so that's why I didn't expect a new game to be released.
    Joel was given a mission which was to take care of Ellie and bring her to the Fireflies' camp so they could make a vaccine wit her blood. During their journey they go through a lot of terrible moments, losses and they struggle to survive in order to achieve the goal set for Marlene. Yes, Joel and Ellie make bonds with each other which is a crucial thing for the game. At the end, Joel's decission was the most important plot twist. He went to another direction to the one he was supposed to. He refuse to give Ellie to the fireflies because she would die, he was selfish, yeah. But nobody cared because people understood him, because I believe we all would probably do the same he did, he started seeing Ellie as his daughter and what he did was "right", Joel was a hero in our eyes.
    But, does that make him a real heroe? In a videogame, probably, because it is so easy to be in the character's shoes. In real life, I bet if we took Joel's path we would be hated and Naughty Dog knows that. Just imagine, same situation as Joel and Ellie went through but applied in this pandemic situation that we are living in (COVID-19). How would you feel knowing that there is one person that has the cure for all this and at the end they just say "no, **** but I can't do this, I can't let this person die to save the humankind, it will be hard for me, those that stand on my way to stop me will be killed." Would you feel ok with their decission knowing that the world will continue with the virus and having in mind that this could have been completely stopped?
    I know, one thing happens in a videogame and the other example is based on real life, but , that's what Naughty Dog was aiming to that in The Last of Us and The Last of Us part II, putting a real life context or sensitive situation in a videogame or at least, trying to make it more real-life like.
    With all that said, I personally feel The Last of Us part II have brutality from the beggining to the end. One person going for revenge. Revenge people could actually attempt in real life if somebody else took their loved ones' life for personal and selfishness reasons, plus, the fact that the death mentioned could have saved the whole humanity if things were different, but they ain't. It is all about that, perspectives, no one is good or bad it all depends on the eyes of the beholder. I loved it from head to toe, it always makes you question yourself about the good and evil and beyond the meaning you give to every single action took in the game, it gives you the chance to experience it in different point of views. Was basically like going in a rollercoaster of emotions where you could not predict what was gonna be the next thing to happen. You started developing feelings with a character and next thing you know they are gone. I loved those up and downs.
    I just wish they would have added more gameplay to explain what happened after Abby encountered Ellie in the theater. Probably they will bring a DLC, who knows?    … Expand

    The last of us part 2 aunque no lo parezca tiene una buena historia claro algunas partes son prácticamente relleno y también una continuación un poco sosa pero a mi opinión es una buena entrega ya que nos da a explicar que es lo que pasó y como la vida seguía después de unos cuantos años, me gusta ver a Ellie con una sed de sangre brutal por haber matado a Joel

    What can I say about The Last of Us 2? Apart from the injustice they did to a much beloved main character, and the obvious woke culture they injected into the storyline, the game is simply incredible.

    while the story of the game is divisive it is brilliant at what it does it makes you emotional and makes you think that actions have consequences especially after the ending while I do have some problems with it like the way they handled his death they should have given him a more deserving death of such a loved character and the way Abby's campaign was forced upon us even though after an hour in you find yourself feeling for her, Liv and Yara now onto the ending although it could be considered a disappointment by some to me it is the most perfect ending succeeding in what it wants to make you feel    … Expand

    Fantastic game! Don't understand the hate it gets. I'ts a dark, depressing story and that's great. Well written characters and a beautiful, hard world to explore. Kept me at the point of my chair until the end.

    Naughty Dog prooves to have some balls with this game! 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story is pure garbage; the established characters make choices and attitudes that are completely against everything they were about on the first game.
    Certain new characters have so much plot armor that you have to question wether or not the writers were focusing on “gritty realism” as they claim they were.
    The ending is one of the least cathartic, most pretentious and nihilistic piece of gaming media I’ve seen in a while, especially considering how little sense it makes due to the actions of the main characters at that point, whoever wrote it should be fired... Oh,wait.

    Gameplay wise, it’s basically a glorified copy paste of the last game with some added upgrade options and way more linearity.

    Overall the game would be fun but the story does ruin the whole experience, which is to be expected in a story driven third person shooter.

    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]
