    If you played the first game, and you're now thinking about buying the second one, just go for it. You definitely won't be disappointed. Everything about this game is amazing.

    Gameplay:

    The gameplay is amazing and fun. Looking for supplies, or just exploring the area is awesome. Just be careful, infected can be anywhere! You'll not only be fighting infected but other tribes/groups. Exploring certain places without knowing if there are infected or not can be super intense, especially if you're playing on a harder difficulty. 10/10

    Story:

    The story is GOLD. The Last of Us Part II, is a sequel for the first game "The Last of Us". From start to end, there are no story-wise imperfections. All the plot-twists and places you'll go are extraordinary. The story has a lot of action and drama. Most people didn't like it because it didn't surpass their expectations. Don't listen to them, the story is perfect as it is. 10/10

    Characters:

    The characters are my favorite part of the game. The Last of Us Part II portrays the characters' emotions and actions way better than the first game. This sequel overall is all about character development and the characters' actions. You'll form a bond with each and every character in the game, which I find amazing. If you like to see characters grow as a person, The Last of Us Part II is certainly for you. 10/10

    Visuals/Sound:

    The game looks beautiful, especially if you're playing on 4K 60fps. Some parts of the game can be frustrating but then you just realize how good the game looks and all your worries go away. If you're riding a horse or just running around town the games looks AWESOMEE! The fighting is also so smooth and satisfying.

    If you're using 3D audio headphones or just surround sound speakers it seems like you're actually inside the game. Sometimes I get startled by the sound of bullets hitting cars! Even if you don't have 3D audio headphones, the audio is still amazing.. seriously. All the voice acting is so perfect! I just love it, and I bet you'll love it too! 10/10

    Overall:

    Naughty Dog did an astonishing job on this sequel. I and thousands/millions of other people loved The Last of Us Part II. If you're looking into buying this game, please do. You won't be disappointed! I said this dozens of times throughout this review.. but I am being completely honest when I say this game is amazing. If I could, I would give this game way more than 5 stars! Thank you, Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unpopular opinion: I think the last of us part 2 is an amazing game with an incredible story. Hear me out... yes Joel's death was heartbreaking and unexpected but it sets the stage for the story, and yes not being able to kill abby at the end is annoying although necessary. Anyone who thought that the ending was going to be uplifting and heart-warming needs to remember that they are playing the last of us, not some kids game, a post apocalyptic world where everything is supposed to be grim and dark after society collapsed. Everyone has to revert to insanely horrific actions in order to save themselves and everyone around them. I also see people complaining about how naughty dog ruined Joel's character but remember at the start of the first game he trusted no one but throughout the story he begins to trust again? Years after staying safe in a town with hundreds of other people means that you will eventually trust again but in Joel's case it came back to bite him. I loved this game and no matter what other people say I think it will always remain an amazing game with great story telling.… Expand

    It's the most incredible and realistic game that I ever played. The sensations that the game gaves is something that you will never experience. I love that at the end it leaves you with a message that apparently many people did not understand.It is simply a work of art, haters will never understand that.

The thing about this game is that people are mad about Joel’s death, which is understandable, but you have to realize it was the more realistic option. Joel, Tommy, Ellie, Abbie, Dina, all of them have to die eventually. And I’m an apocalypse, death is bound to happen. The story was utter greatness. Everything that happened was just plain stunning. graphics are the best I’ve seen out of any game I’ve ever played. And the gameplay exceeds the first game by a long shot. While Abbie may have been irritating at first, playing as her, and seeing all the back flashes and everything made me realize that there was a reason for Joel’s death. This game has a fun and exiting twist around every corner and if I had to, I would’ve spent every penny in the world on it.… Expand

    I really liked this game's gameplay, graphics and it really use the ps4 hardware on its best way, but as a huge fan of the 1st game, the story is really disappointing, Naughty Dog didn't made this game for the fans, but if they are going to launch a third game, I'm very worried about the history.

Although I was upset with the ending of the game, I still have to give credit to the publishers,because of the fact, that I was able to support the anger and rage of Ellie. The reason users give the game such a low rank is just, because they couldn't really undestand Joels character. He is no Hero and no Villan.He is an anti-Hero. The user were just not ready to accept that, someday Joes karma would hit him back.… Expand

    [If anyone is still even concerned with that at this time]

    Part 1 has been & continues to be my favourite game of all time, because I believed that no other video game can extract a certain emotional response, like it did. I genuinely bonded with characters like never before. I was completely overwhelmed by anger, hate & sadness. Joel Miller, had been brutally killed off! Okay so we've now established the motive in the game right? "Kill Abby No Matter What!" Wrong... now we must continue to play as Joel's murderer for just as, if not longer than we play as Ellie. They both killed each other's "Dads" I guess, but they both lost their partners, family, friends & peace... not to mention that Ellie loses her fingers so she's unable to play the guitar the way she could.

    I guess the point was to enlighten us on the topic of empathy, but here's the thing... we play video games to escape reality in a safe, healthy & entertaining manner. After I finished this game, I was genuinely depressed, I didn't feel to play anything after that... Fast forward 2 years later, I decided to play again but this time I had a "better" take on it. I appreciated the gameplay, the graphics, I noticed the amount of effort that went into making this game. This game is extremely well made & it plays so much better than the first one. The AI are almost impossible on grounded mode... But I also realised something else, there is no other game that can do what this game has done for me... the amount of rage that I felt for characters in a game cannot be replicated, so Naughtydog really knows how to "tickle" your emotions. If I never played it a second time, I would have probably given it a 4... it loses points for Joel's death but I think it deserves a 8 (extra points for adding Permadeath.) I think it all boils down to personal preference, but in my opinion... overall fantastic work Naughtydog/Sony, but story-wise, I think it could've been better told. I also like dark stuff, but I would like to see the person I've bonded with get to live & preferably not play as the person I want to kill. P.S. I'm currently trying to get the grounded trophy. It's very difficult, you should play through couple times to get all the other trophies before attempting this.    … Expand

    It sold 10 million plus copies for a reason, and that’s cause it’s a good game. The internet is an echo chamber guys - Twitter isn’t real life, Reddit isn’t real life, and yes, metacritic isn’t real life.

    Graphics - 10. 2 years out and it’s still one of the best looking games ever made, if not the best looking. On a PS5 with the 60 fps patch on an OLED it’s unmatched. Sound - 10.

    Sound - 10. Superb audio layering and 7.1 surround sound, punctuated by industry leading voice acting.

    Story - 8. The biggest problem with TLOU 2’s story isn’t the non-existent “plot holes”, or it’s supposed “wokeness” (gay people exist, cope), but rather it’s pacing. The pacing of TLOU 1 is flawless. The pacing of TLOU 2 is all over the place. This is because of the dual narrative arch’s and many flashback sequences that show how Ellie’s relationship with Joel changed since the ending of the first game. As far as the actual narrative itself though, it’s strong. Like tlou 1 the premise is simple, but it’s the characters that give the story depth. The way they emote, the way they say one thing and do another, they way can convey so much with just subtle glances. Tlou 1 did all these things before very well, and tlou 2 follows suit.

    Gameplay - 10. Massive improvement over part one. Anyone who says they are the same is being intellectually dishonest or wearing rose tinted goggles. Part 1 feels very dated in all aspects except story at this point, it’s nearly 9 years old. The ability to break glass, go prone, and jump coupled with open ended arenas is a big improvement over the first game. You can disagree, but you’re wrong.

    Final score: 9. Beat it twice, probs gonna go for a 3rd run when tlou part 1 is released.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved the story, loved the characters.

    All developed as should.
    We already knew TLOU1 Ellie, but this Ellie, she was different. She wasn't the sane person Joel tried to "make". She was reckless, driven by fury with only one goal in mind. Revenge. She had the chance to get what she wanted, twice but deep down she knew that by killing Abby she was no different. But it was too late at that point. All was lost.

    Abby started as a character meant to be hated. And she was. The first hours as Abby were a punch in the gut, as if the story tried to make fun of the love we had for Joel. But...was she right after all? Was Joel's actions really the correct ones? Or was Abby right to act the way she did. The answer lies somewhere in the middle. Her motives were right but here actions, just like Ellie's were driven by the wrong reasons. She overstepped and she ruined the lives of many people including her own. She changed however. She had the chance to kill Ellie but because of Lev, the "thing" as Isaac described him, who he saved and who, in my mind, was a mirror of TLOU1 Joel and Ellie.

    Lastly, the irony of it all. The only thing that Ellie managed was to save Abby. And that completes a perfect circle in my opinion making this game one of the best storytelling experiences.

    I can't be bothered to analyse the next part but the only negative was the gameplay. The stealth mechanics were unchanged and boring and every time I came across Scars, or Wolves, or zombies, or in the end Rattlers, the game was more of a hassle than an enjoyable experience.

Now that being said, it is not as good as the first game. In my opinion, the reason so many people hate this game is because they gave up on it at the start and never gave it a true chance for you to experience it but instead they shut down and refused to give it a chance. If I had to pick, of course I would pick the original but only because, like all things, the sequel can be good but never as good as the first.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Después de jugarlo y re-jugarlo varias veces, sencillamente este juego me pareció una obra maestra.
    Desde una jugabilidad espectacular y disfrutable; a una historia llena de sorpresas, momentos de suspenso y angustia o también de alegría y felicidad, todo esto puede transcurrir en solo unos pocos segundos y que definitivamente deja atrapado al espectador.

    Historia:

    Este juego se atrevió a pisar un terreno muy peligros, destrozando algo muy significativo para los jugadores que disfrutaron enormemente (incluyéndome) la primera entrega de esta saga, lo cual genera una gran brecha en las opiniones.
    En los personal es algo original y arriesgado y el resultado final fue muy bueno, logrando una mezcla de emociones y sentimientos en los diversos personajes al entender sus situaciones.
    Talvez un punto bajo de esto es que al introducir personajes nuevos a esta entrega, esas emociones que el juego trata de que el espectador lo sienta no son tal fuertes o comprensibles como con los personajes de la entrega anterior, pero también es algo muy poco frecuente e interesante este tipo de situaciones.

    Arte:

    La música que interpreta el ambiente, los escenarios post-apocalípticos llenos de infectos, los barrios abandonados, o los diversos asentamientos de sobrevivientes, son simplemente hermosos y cautivadores.

    Gameplay:

    Probablemente la parte mas importante de un juego.
    La gran variedad de armas y mecánicas permiten distintos estilos de juego para enfrentarse con los múltiples enemigos, desde infectados espeluznantes a personas de varios asentamientos diferentes.
    puedes elegir el estilo dependiendo de los recursos disponibles o la situación en la que te encuentres.
    La inteligencia artificial de los npc's es difícil de vencer.
    La dificultad dependerá de los ajustes, puedes jugar con modificaciones como la munición infinita, o tratar de acabar el juego con solo un intento en la modalidad mas desafiante.

    para finaliza, lo malo:
    Hay algunas situaciones donde existen pequeños erros lógicos en el diseño del juego, como por ejemplo:
    - Cuando Ellie ataca a Abby cuando esta le persigue en el teatro con un bate en lugar de su escopeta.
    - Cuando Abby y Joel llegan al campamento de los lobos, estos ya están preparados para luchar con los infectados.

    Estos son erros muy imperceptibles pero decisivos y que pueden generar incoherencia, es sorprendente para un juego que se enfoca tanto en los pequeños detalles.

    Aun así en lo personal no es algo muy influyente, ya que la gran mayoría de obras tienen estos errores que son muy difíciles percibir (la primera vez que lo jugué no me percate de nada de esto),

    En resumen: es un juego que valió la pena totalmente, y que lo seguiré jugado anualmente por que es muy re-jugable por el gameplay desafiante y entretenido al igual que el gran ambiente de suspenso que genera la historia, como dije al inicio sencillamente es una obra maestra.    … Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
