    Perfect narrative, perfect art direction, perfect acting and dubbing, just amazing !!! Unfortunately we live in a prejudiced world and much of the hate in this game comes from this, but the message that the game has to teach us is beautiful and who did not want to learn because of prejudice, I only have to regret for these people.

    This game is a masterpiece. The representation is amazing. Shame on the crybabies who are mad because they didn't get a generic game like every others. This will revolutionize the gaming world. Thank you naughty dog, I never felt, cried and empathized so much during a game.

    Boring, uninspired, unlikable characters and WAY too long thanks to an endless amount of unnecessary filler... I found myself constantly skipping cutscenes... Something I NEVER thought I'd be doing with a 3 day old, AAA title... It also doesn't feel like much of an upgrade from the original... A 7 YEAR OLD GAME... Definitely NOT worth $65...

    27 hours of game play which I wish I could relive. It's a beautiful, dark, complicated and amazing story which I'm.sure everyone will enjoy.

    Questo gioco è un miracolo.
    Uno di quei colossal che rimarranno impressi nella storia videoludica. Trattarlo come se fosse solo un "gioco" sarebbe riduttivo, ingiusto. The last of us è un racconto che elabora i processi umani/animali, che ci portano ad essere l'uni

    The game makers have no interest in telling a story sincerely but force cramming their own values to audience without mercy.

The gloomy environment when facing infected, the enemy AI, the scenarios and the gameplay are a great evolution of the predecessor, that is also irrefutable, for all the above as a product the minimum rating that can be given is a 7, who will give it less he is a fool or a hater that simple.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I begin, I would like to specify that I have played through this game twice now, once on survivor and once again on survivor+, meaning I have a total of around 46 hours with the game. I would also like to clarify that I did love the first game, but I have never considered myself a Last of Us fanboy by any means. To open, I really, really enjoyed this game, for about 80% of my TOTAL time playing it. Hence the 8/10. To get the obvious out of the way, the game is gorgeous, the soundtrack is impeccable, the acting is great, and the gameplay was a HUGE step up from the first game for me (although I know many disagree). I also think that a lot of the story on Ellies side was executed well, although the writing itself definitely falters in depth and meaning. The fact that I was able to like Jessie and Dina AT ALL with how little we know about them and how shallowly they are written really goes to show how top-tier ND's performances are. The other 20% was unfortunately spoiled by the controversial, yet understandable structural decision to play as Abby, (who is both the primary antagonist and the secondary protagonist), for almost HALF of the games runtime. I understand why ND did this, as on paper it sounds like a very good way to add meat to an otherwise empty revenge plot, but it obviously did not work out as intended. I believe this is for a few reasons, and I would like to talk about most of them briefly. First of all, we have no connection to Abby prior to her golfing session with the old man. The primary character we have all been in love with for 7 years is taken out, and we're excepted to then sympathize with his murderer. Once again, I believe that this choice seems good on paper, but due to other faults with Abby, it fell far from the mark. This story would have had to have been executed perfectly in ever single way for it to have had a chance of landing with the audience. To elaborate more, the characters on Abby's side are utter garbage. It wouldn't be so bad, but before we even begin the Abby storyline we have the knowledge that Ellie kills literally all of them. This doesn't work, we already know they're dead. We have no reason to connect, and even if we did they are so shallow in their intentions and have one or two "values" that they spit in our face the whole game. Mel is passive, and hates Abby for both her brutalism and her past with Owen. Owen is a go with the flow kinda guy, who isn't passionate enough about his cause to continue on anymore. These are literally their primary personality traits. I think this is the games primary problem. By the time I got to the bulk of Abby's story, I wanted to stop playing. I didn't care about the characters, the gameplay was starting to get repetitive, and all I wanted was to see how the conflict in the theatre played out. HOWEVER, this completely changed on the 2nd playthrough. On the second time through, I had grown close enough to Abby through her final chapters in the 1st that I didn't mind her sections at all, in fact I think they are objectively better from a level design and gameplay perspective. Anyway this reviews kinda long already, but my point is that this game is like movies that you don't understand the first time. Give it a second go, and do so with an open mind. Overall great game, I was only being so critical because it's a direct follow-up to arguably the best narrative driven experience of all time.… Expand

    Horrible game. The story is absolutely stupid. Joel dies in a horribly written way and it's basically the generic revenge game, but really poorly executed.

Joel dies in a horribly written way and it's basically the generic revenge game, but really poorly executed. They tried to do a really heart melting story like the first The Last Of Us, which was one of the greatest games ever. In the first one, it's the story of Joel which finds Ellie and has to go through a lot of hard things. He started to like Ellie like if she was his daughter. In the end we know that Ellie is the cure from the disease and the hospital takes her away. When Joel learns this, he went to save her even though she was going to save humanity with her blood.

    The second one is just cringy and feels like it is made by some liberals doing a "fan" fiction. Literally. It's been a long time that we know that Ellie is lesbian, but in TLOU2 they straight up went for sex scenes and kissing scenes that this game really doesn't need. Like I'm saying, mega cringe.

    The other thing is that Joel is usually so cautious and does whatever he can to survive, for example in the first one, he never really liked the idea of surviving with strangers and all of that. Now in this piece of **** Joel just joins a random house and tells his name and that is how he dies. HOW DARE THEY DO THIS TO MY BOI JOEL. He dies because of some **** Abby which is killing him for vEnGencE. And the part that infuriates me the most is that after the cringy fight in the end of the game, Ellie doesn't even kill Abby, and why? Like I was telling they tried to do a heartwarming story like the first one but The Last Of Us 2 just gave us a cringy and generic revenge story.

    Gameplay wise it is not bad, but there are not a lot of improvements, which is ok, considering that the first's one was really good. The graphics ain't bad, but I expected better. Now the glitches... The game is so **** glitchy, that is all I have to say.

    In conclusion, the game is horrible : it feels like some liberals just wrote a fan fiction with their ass, it is a cringe attempt to make a good game, it has more than a horrible story and just doesn't deserve any love, it deserves only hate and I have no idea how many dollars naughty dog payed this web site to have a such high score.

    The last of us 2 es un juego muy extraño, se aventura por unos lugares muy ambiguos y arriesgados, y provoca unas emociones contradictorias e incómodas. Quizá algún día aclare lo que pienso de esta obra... Pero solo por el intentarlo, y querer cambiar la imagen del videojuego triple aaa, merece la pena.

And this game is about ellie and her story ,should not be about abby if so why make the ellie edition and the playstation with her tattoo and Advertise Ellie so much and make us play abby half the game I would have been fine with maybe 2 hours to explain her reason why and some context of why she did it that's fine. But this should have been just about ellie and her journy.the graphics are beautiful the game play is pretty fun but the story did not cut it they should have made a happy ending not such a bad ending where you do kill abby and ellie gets to have a happy and peaceful life with dina and the baby that would have mad every one happier but they **** up that's it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Voy a empezar con los puntos negativos, la duración y sobre todo el reset a mitad del juego hacen que se sienta innecesariamente largo, la inclusión y la sexualidad como punto medio central puede llegar a ser molesto, aun así no me molesto tanto para el final.

    Bueno ahora así, lo que me encanto del juego, lo primero que voy a mencionar es que la historia desde mi punto de vista esta a la altura, yo personalmente hubiera cambiado cosas de orden, sobre todo del inicio, pero el final me pareció mas que correcto, porque hermano, si después de las mas de 20 horas y haber pasado por toda la mierda del juego, y lo que el mismo te quieren transmitir aun queres completar la venganza de Ellie, es que sencillamente no captaste el mensaje, fuera de eso, el darle rostros y vidas a los NPC de la manera en que lo hicieron es de aplaudir. Del gameplay solo puedo deshacerme en elogios hacia Naughty Dog no recuerdo un juego con una violencia tan cruda y a la vez satisfactoria, disfrutaba cada combate mas que el anterior.
    Mención aparte lo místico que se siente el mundo, osea es basicamente Seattle luego de la pandemia, pero es que aun así el juego tiene momentos que llegan a sorprender demasiado.
    Por ultimo, solo quiero abogar para los que están dudando comprárselo por los spoilers del inicio y el final, y sobre todo la calificación baja de gente que probablemente ni lo ha jugado, señores no se preocupen este juego esta a la altura, es sin duda para mi uno de mis juegos favoritos de este 2020.    … Expand

    Heartbreaking in the perfect way. While it's a risky story to tell, I can only commend TLOU2 for absolutely committing to the world they've built.

It asks you to confront just how self-destructive vengeance can become. I understand where some people are coming from in being unhappy with the game, but I also can't disagree with them more. The game forces us to remove the rose-color glasses that we have developed during our seven year wait since the first game. Just like Ellie, we learn that sometimes we have to see beyond what we initially believed or risk losing ourselves to stubborn hatred.

    In terms of gameplay and graphic, everything is stunning. The music is a beautiful as ever, haunting and tense in equal parts. I appreciate the broad accessibility options included in the game which are extremely helpful to allow anyone to experience the game. The combat and crafting are similar to the first game with enough variation not to feel like a rehash. That's not to say the game is absolutely perfect. There are a couple of pacing issues that would have been fixed by reshuffling some of the encounters. Actions like moving off ledges and jumping are a little heavy and stiff sometimes. But even with small gripes and concerns, they don't add up to enough to knock the game down from a 10.

    At the end I just sat there, listening to the credits and the sound of my own breathing. Where the last game was a final gut punch of an ending, this one is more like a slowly twisting knife throughout. And then, when you're done, you realized the knife is gone, even if you're not sure when that happened. For all that this is an incredibly dark and bleak game, I'd argue it ends on a more optimistic note than the first, making the entire 25-30 hour game incredibly worthwhile.    … Expand

    I haven’t actually played the game but I’ve watched the entire gameplay on twitch. The graphics, environment and music were stunning but the story, oh my God, it felt like it was written by a 16 yo emo teenager. The ending made me regret wasting hours of my life watching the walkthrough. I love the fact that the critic reviews are so high. It shows you how biased they really are.

    It all feels like a repetitive task, with empty emotionless characters. It's almost like a PR stunt - they killed off the protagonist just so they could give Ellie a girlfriend - which nobody likes by the way. Not because of her "love" preferences, but because of how she is introduced: she is the one to kill Joel! Naughty Dog thought that a few-minutes-long introduction would've made up for that, and that we'd all start loving her. Well, they were terribly wrong.

    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...
