    Although there are a lot of trouble in this game, I still see it as a good game after I pass through, the scene and the action inside is so beautiful, so many details, we cannot deny naughty dog's hard work, even they had been changed a lot by Nile.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For pp that hate the game because of your favorite character's death, I get you. But it seems like you guys felt the same as Ellie and put your hatred towards your enemy, which in your case is the game itself. I think that's quite the reason for not being able to enjoy and fully understand all characters' motives. Play the game again with your calm mind, you'll find a lot of things that you missed in the first walkthrough.… Expand

    The Last of Us part 2 is a masterpiece. Definitely, it is one of the best games I've ever played on PS4. The end almost made me cry and it's as good as the first game.

    No es perfecto, pero es muy bonito en otras partes, amé la parte del zoológico, lloré con varias escenas, no creo que sea para tanto el odio que ha recibido, pero entiendo el descontento, me gustó mucho la segunda parte, tanto que quisiera una tercera con Abby.

    Mucho más oscuro y profundo que la primera parte. Al igual que en el primero lo que realmente importa son las relaciones humanas, la construcción de los personajes, protagonistas humanos que llegan a ser antihéroes... Brutal

    Bold story! Ignore the hate this is one of the best games of the generation. Naughty Dog took some serious risks and elevated storytelling in gaming. The title is getting hate for its inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters. This hate shows that games need more queer characters or the medium will be forever stuck pandering to basement dwelling misogynists.

    This game is a really really good game! Not only is the gameplay itself better than the last one but the story and the stakes are raised. If you actually play through the game the game becomes so much more amazing.

    I don't get the hate people are giving this. Imho, what a story, that only could give this game 10/10 , but what i really was amazed about was all the small details here and there. Gameplaywise it was enjoyable, smooth and punishing at the right times. And i loved that the trophies were easy to get this time. Now don't go and change that in the sequel! Or anything else

If it din't call 'The Last of Us' for real this game couln'd ve been such a great game, full of history and good chacters, but they made a revenge game for another revenge of something that happens 5 years ago! And worse, the final give us zero hope e zero desire for another game... Just a hopless game. Please, just make another game and trough this in the trash!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has lost a lot of what made it special, and part of it is "killing the main character idea" that I wish I could understand the motive by the developers.
    To be honest I think this will be the last game that I play from this franchise. I absolutely loved the first game, so much it brought mt to tears, but this one...brought me to tears in anger and shock right at the beginning when I discover they decided to kill the main protagonist.
    Make us play with the character that murdered him, etc...
    Just poor decisions on Naughty Dog's behalf and I know for a fact that if wasn't for "paid" reviews, this game would have been a lot worse than it is in terms of sales.
    Anyway this just demonstrates that you can't win all the time and to me this developer lost it's way and won't seem me purchasing any other game from them in the future.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (updated)
    Regarding the first teaser-trailer: Joel is only in Ellie's head, giving only one possible direction as a theory. It did not promise anything. This was the only logical "theory" that has now been confirmed.
    Also, regarding the "scam" of the Release-Date trailer: Joel might have been alive originally and Druckmann changed it later. However, I don’t think so, I think this was done intentionally. Not to fool their audiences but to scare them or something. Yes, the media team made the cuts between scenes too fast, true. But: Like in the first teaser, Joel (as Jessie) here could be a hallucination (he wants her to stop), because she expected Joel, everywhere she goes she has Joel on her mind. You can see her hopeless face, after she sees Jessie’s face.
    Well, this was only for explanation reasons. This is not confirmed or anything, but it does make sense.

    Actual review:
    I have played a lot of masterpieces, The Last of Us Part II might be the best of them. Personally, I enjoyed other games more (bc this game is mostly not about fun), but purely objectively TLoUPII is the best game, or at least in the top 3 games of all time. I enjoyed it with various emotions, shed tears and laughed. Please don't listen to haters and finish the game first, form your own opinion. The gameplay, story, acting (check out the facial animation), the characters, the graphics are all top-tier. The story could have been better, by that I mean that the order of events could have been structured differently. The pacing certainly isn’t perfect. Certain scenes split the player-base, are completely logical though. Everything of what comes before and after these scenes was done insanely good. The overall game is a masterpiece of writing that I have rarely seen in any media. And no, I have finished a LOT of games, but only this game has captivated me, entertained me that much. I usually rate games based on facts, not necessarily supported by my own opinion and TLoUPII does not deserve anything below 9/10, sorry. It's unbelievable how much work and love (and cruelty) was put into this project.
    I hope the PS5 version fixes a few things, adds 60fps and ray-tracing. Maybe there will be an optional story-order to choose from, or additional paths.
    We’re still waiting for Multiplayer Mode (as a stand-alone) and it’s coming soon.
    I currently give it 96/100. The PS5 version will probably top that.

    Thanks for reading.    … Expand

The technical and artistic aspects of the game are simply top of the industry and in this regard improves the first part, leaping to a next level facilitated by the advancing technology applied to games (and probably a bigger budget too?).

    Playing this game is a gripping and highly enjoyable experience, even if the excess of blood and extreme violence kinda feels a bit unnecessary in some of the fights.

    The gameplay felt too similar (almost clonical) to the first game, which is not necessarily a criticism, as I find it to be well balanced, challenging and fun. So why should you change something that works great?

    My biggest criticism is the story and character decisions/motivations. As mentioned in many other reviews as far as I could tell, I found the 'revenge above all' motivation too simplistic, repetitive, predictable and even anti-climatic. It's an extreme survival world where I would expect people to focus a bit more on self-preservation with the minimal means they have, and avoid any unnecessary injuries etc as much as possible, as hospitals or doctors are not particularly available... however, we find ourselves constantly forced to put our character in extreme peril just to seek vengeance or something like that... It's a non-essential task most of the time, highly capricious at times, that made it difficult for me to really engage with what we were doing or why we are crossing (again and again) the city side to side just to ask for someone who might know someone, who might lead us to someone who hurt our friend months ago.
    When in the original Fallout I'm asked to leave the bunker to search for a highly critical and necessary water filter system that stopped working, I felt the reason why I was travelling post-apocalyptic wastelands and risking everything was 'justified' and necessary. Someone had to do it. On the contrary, most of the time in The last of us 2 I felt very disconnected with our purpose. Thi wasn't the case on the first game either, when looking for a cure sounded like an absolutely understandable objective that justified taking all necessary risk (no cure equals to no hope for anyone, so...).
    Also, way too many flashbacks in this game. Some of them confused the hell out of me, between switching timelines and characters, at some point I didn't know what I was doing (and even worse, I stopped caring!).

    In any case, a superb game. 8,5/10 for me. Due to the narrative flaws it doesn't reach higher. Technical aspects, art, acting, sounds, music, polished gameplay... so many things are close to a 10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. obra de arte, lo mismo dije con el primer juego.
    ambas historias me encantaron, sé que no fue del agrado de muchos este juego, pero siento que todos se fueron por una perspectiva simplista, este juego es demasiado complejo tanto como es el primero. el desarrollo de personaje de Ellie es magnífico.
    como dije del otro juego, aquí también me encantó su historia, guión, fotografía y por sobre todo el soundtrack que es maravilloso. y que decir de la jugabilidad del juego que mejoró bastante. al igual que las gráficas del juego que también mejoraron.
    me dolió mucho la muerte de Joel, pero siento que eso no arruinó el juego para nada.
    se supone que del primer juego amamos la relación entre Joel y Ellie, pero al ver como muchos dejeron tirado el juego apenas Joel murió me hace creer que realmente sólo les importaba él más no Ellie.
    en ésta ocasión vemos la historia de Ellie la cuál también importa.
    también 100% recomendado, aunque sé que talvez no sea del agrado de todos, ya que también la violencia es mucho más gráfica que la del primer juego.
    si te gustó el primer juego es posible o no que éste también te guste, pero no te dejes llevar por las malas críticas, juegalo y ahí luego tú lo calificas, pero no lo desvalores sin antes haberlo jugado. y si no te llegase a gustar la historia aún así al menos aún así lo disfrutarás en el aspecto de la jugabilidad.    … Expand

And what I can say is, The Last of Us 1 is a great game. Great. However, The Last of Us 2 is a game that is impossible to describe. It is a unique experience. Much better than 1 in every way. It is a brutal, credible game and brings us a reflection that I have never seen in any game, film or book. In short: this game is a masterpiece. It is the game that separates adults from children. It is a game that requires the player to have a more mature mindset. It is not a simple video game. The way the story was told is something unique. If you're reading this here and haven't played the game yet: play it, but be there and face it with an open mind and let yourself be allowed and be absolved by the narrative. I still can't get the game out of my head. It is without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played in my life. And the ending is impressive, I cried like a boy and I was bad, very bad. Best of all, it opens up infinite possibilities for The Last of Us 3. It's not just a game, it's an experience. And this is a game about "Revenge", in this game there is no justice, just like the 1, everything is a matter of perspective.… 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.

    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]
