    Just finished the story. The Last Of Us didn’t need a sequel is how I feel. Solid game though, how can you not play it when there’s so many emotional ties connected to the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a remarkable game and one with the most intense stories ever. It is amazing the amount of feels you get while playing it and that is one of the most amazing things you can get from a game. In fact, I don't know if we can call, for example, The Last of Us Part I & Part II or Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, games. In TLOU II there's a lot of incredible things going on. For start, game design and the level of detail of this apocalyptic world are beyond amazing, I don't know if there's another title with this level of greatness on that matter. Gameplay also is incredible with new movements and animations that feel fresh and with the feeling that not all encounters are going to develop in the same way every time. Semi 'open world' gives a clever way to show evolution in the franchise. Sound design is marvelous, specially while playing it with a good set of headphones, you can feel inside this world, and sometimes you get uncomfortable when your 'zombie' enemies: clickers, stalkers or runners are ready to hunt you down.

    The story, which it seems to be the matter of disagreement among gamers, for me was great. And I don't know when everyone became so expert on writing and storytelling. Although this is a revenge story and you could say is a cliché storyline, I think this kind of stories never gets old. The message behind and the one I got was really touching and, in a matter of fact, very applicable to so many societies around the world. And no, I am not talking about the LGBTI content which, by the way, I don't get why people on 2020 are offended by.

    Talking with spoilers beyond this point, I think Ellie's motivation was completely right just as right as Abby's. You see Abby as the villain for a long run of the story, but when you get into her shoes is where it lies one of the messages of TLOU II, there are two sides on every story. And even sometimes you can hate the Abby character, there's no denial that you can feel her pain and how broke she went with the loss of her father, and eventually all his friends and love interest. An eye for an eye, seems to be one of the guides along the story, but at what cost? And that's the question that comes to shine, specially when Ellie's actions went too far in the pursue of her vengeance, like killing a pregnant woman who refused to tell her some information. And in the end, when Ellie realizes that she can't stop thinking about it, that she can't sleep knowing she didn't got her revenge, and eventually being that close to kill abby is where the story really delivers, because, for me, she realizes that killing Abby isn't going to bring Joel back to life and maybe isn't going to give her back her sleep or her calm. Joel made his own decision back in TLOU I, and it was a really hard decision but as we can see it came with several consequences. Ellie is a completely different character, with her own feelings and thoughts. In her pursue of vengeance Ellie looses her love interest and she is completely alone, she is forever wounded physically, mentally and in the most deep of her soul. I don't think that she leaving behind Joel's guitar was an act of ungratefulness or such, I think is a sign of what she lost, she lost her capacity to play the guitar forever again, guitar that Joel gave her and taught her how to play, and that kind of wound will never be healed.

    I don't think TLOU II is perfect, there are some repetitive stuff in things to do, and you may feel annoyed going on some missions. For example, Abby's quest for the medical supply didn't got to me that much but it was shocking with that huge infected encounter. It has some passing issues and with some cliché and predicable things that happened, and some plot holes. I think that in a very long time I'm not replaying TLOU II because it may feel really long and tedious. I write this review while listening to the original Soundtrack and I have to say, it is amazing and really touching, I wished it was more used during the story to give it a more emotional experience.

    The Last of Us Part II is an incredible story with one of the best gameplays and graphic design for this generation of consoles. The story has a great impact on you if you keep an open mind and give the opportunity to this characters to get into you. I don't know but maybe people would be happier if this was the third story of the franchise and there was middle story in which we could see more of the immediate repercussions of TLOU I and all of the things between Joel and Ellie after her discovering of the truth.

    To anyone who took the time to read my review, thank you! (Sorry for my bad English)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. **ONLY READ IF YOU’VE FINISHED THE GAME**

    Having just completed the game yesterday I today made a Metacritic account just to express my feelings about this experience. I had huge anticipation for this game going into it with no knowledge of leaks or spoilers and I can say it starts out fantastic. Joel's death evoked emotion and was certainly a catalyst for me to want to keep playing, wanting justice for him and closure. (But it was completely out of character for Joel and Tommy to reveal their names and settlement so easily to a group of strangers) Exploring Seattle as Ellie was fun and felt nostalgic to the first game but this is where my praise for The Last Of Us II ends.

    They then throw you into the shoes of the one who brutally tortured and killed Joel and try to make you like or even care about this character and from here the pacing of the game also falls apart. Suddenly you get tons of pills and parts as Abby (I played on survivor so I was used to scarce supplies.) This made game play as Abby feel halfhearted as the sudden resource explosion rushes you down her skill paths and weapon upgrades. But here's the thing with playing as Abby: I DON'T CARE. It was disappointing to play such a huge portion of the game as a character I have no feelings for. I was always asking myself when can I get back to playing as Ellie or at least Tommy, someone that I actually care about. The further I played as Abby the more disdain I had for her. Holding light that maybe by the end of the game we'd get to see Ellie finally finish her. I hoped that Ellie would kill Abby cleanly and not torture her to show she's above that, but what we got instead was horrific.

    Making you actually attack and choke out Ellie was heartbreaking, that whole fight should have just been a cut-scene because I had no want in actually playing through its scripted sequences. After this the ante has just been upped: Abby has now also killed Tommy (at this point you see her shoot him in the head so have no idea that he'd survive) and Jesse.

    OKAY *Takes breath* Can I finally play as Ellie now? Yes, but let's just skip the whole journey south to California, throw in some generic baddies at the end (Rattlers) and wow we're here as Ellie in our long awaited confrontation with Abby. Finally is this the moment I've been waiting for and slogging through all the previous Abby game play to get to? Would this be the redeeming factor to this game and the final closure needed? No. Ellie let's Abby go after everything. But before that happens they tease you with letting you stab a knife into Abby and then begin to drown her. I wanted to give Abby a clean death but as the knife was lost at this point in the fight, drowning will have to do but nope the script takes over and Ellie let's her out of the water at the last moment. Wow...

    A better ending would have been to finish the drowning and then have Ellie bury Abby with a makeshift cross rather than just leaving her body. That would have been justified and a good closure to the game. Lev is plenty capable of surviving without Abby and this would leave it open for DLC or the next game as Lev waking up and finding Abby's grave but not remembering what happened.

    I guess I can take solace that the prisoners did say Abby was bit, so if that's true she'll die soon enough but is that proper closure? Not for me. Sorry.    … Expand

    Este juego de lejos es uno de los mejores de Ps4.
    No soy ni un fanboy ni nada, soy una persona con una buena perspectiva de las cosas que suceden.
    Respecto a la jugabilidad y graficos indiscutiblemente reciben un 10 de 10, pero por la parte de la historia es donde la controversia empieza.
    -----SPOILERS------

    La muerte de Joel no es para nada forzada, lo que se buscaba era que odiemos a Abby, era preguntarnos el por que de todo esto.
    Mientras mas avanzamos en la historia vamos conociendo los motivos, señales de ello, atraves de flashback.
    La historia concluye de manera asombrosa, las escenas finales entre Joel y Ellie nos explican los motivos de Ellie, es un juego demasiado profundo comparado con el primero, pero de ninguna manera supera su primera entrega.
    El juego no esta hecho para cualquier persona, tienes que jugarlo con la mente abierta, tienes que entender que Joel y Ellie no lo son todos, no son ni Rick ni Carl, ellos son dos personas mas en un mundo cruel y violento, respecto a que la muerte de Joel no haya sido epica, a caso el es un heroe de alguna historia? El es otro superviviente mas que debe pagar las decisiones egoistas que ni Ellie logro aceptar.
    En conclusion, el juego es demasiado profundo y complejo de entender, tanto asi que la gente solo ve la muerte de Joel, y que Ellie deja ir a Abby, no profundiza para nada esa toma de decisiones.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This technical aspects of this game are comparable to the first game. Gameplay mechanics are pretty much the same as the first game. The graphics and voice acting are also good. The story in my opinion are what ruin this game for me. I expected for Joel to die, but this was not the way to kill him off. Then right after you HAVE to play as Abby, for like more than half the game. I HATED playing as Abby, i did not connect with her in any way or feel anything for that character. They should of fleshed her out more before she killed Joel off. To be forced to play as a person you despise is not fun in my opinion....it felt like a chore doing her story. The game forces you to kill a dog and then makes the effort to make you feel like crap about it when you had no choice in the matter. I encountered weird bug in the section where you have to kill the dog, i fell from vent, dog attacks but before he attacks i get shot in head by an invisible person and it was an endless death loop of me getting shot. Replayed chapter and got through dog part to realize there were no other people around in the area....so who shot me??? Ellie goes through all this revenge story killing tons of people and the end she lets Abby go, after tracking her down a second time? Just doesn't make sense. If you are trying to convey that revenge causes more problems than its worth there are better ways of conveying that. Ending was unsatisfying and overall when i was done playing the game i felt as depressed as Ellie did as the game came to a close. I would say this is a pass until it becomes cheaper.… Expand

Ruining and killing a character that we fell in love with him in the first game that brutaly was not the thing we wanted. at least not like that and at the beginning of the game... joel was the greatest character in the company in my opinion and playing as him again in part 2 was the best thing that could happen in this generation and they simply ruined it.The first episode of the game wouldn't become near that successful without joel and all that emotional moments with him.All of this along with leaks before the release date , very unlikable new characters,dark moments only for shock value,and ignoring the moral ambiguity of the first game are the reasons why i didn't like this game as much as i expected… Expand

This game is beautiful,the gameplay is fun the soundtrack and performances by everyone is great where it suffers is this is a video game,not a tv show or a movie it’s suppose to be your choices the way you play should matter and it doesn’t this is a tv show is scripted video gameplay in between your forced to kill dogs,your forced to play as Abby a character who isn’t badly developed she has a good emotional start but the game beats you over the head with informing you that Ellie is the villain and not Abby.. but Abby killed Joel and she gets more spotlight and focus on top of that while playing as her the game forces you to play fetch with a dog that your forced to killed as Ellie just one example of how this game tries to Manipulate manipulate your feelings towards Ellie and it doesn’t work. This game was so disappointing to the point I don’t think I’ll ever play it again the last of us I’ve beaten 100 times part 2 I don’t even wanna play the new game plus I already uninstalled it and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth I only scratched the surface of what I didn’t like to make a quick rundown They kill Joel off in a unearned shock value death They rewrote marlines character from the first game
    Dina is not developed enough to believe her and Ellie’s relationship
    Abby gets more focus than Ellie The story falls apart after you take over Abby thanks to forced moments
    And more You want my advice I mean that’s why your reading this.. pick the game up for $20 have fun with the gameplay graphics and flashback including Abby’s but after that try and avoid and or forget the rest of the story because it is a dumpster fire of disappointment after 7 years this game broke my heart    … Expand

    I honestly like it better than the first one.
    Next gen visuals on current gen platform. Improved gameplay. Good story that cleverly juxtaposes one character's constant obsession and descent into madness with the others search for good and humanity in a destroyed world. Some supporting characters are not as interesting as they were in the first one.

    Naughty Dog crafts an immensely ambitious sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed games ever. One that is never shy to taking massive risks and making incredibly bold decisions.

    From the very beginning, this game honours its predecessor whilst simultaneously creating its unique voice. Instead of just repeating what made the first game so good and lazily creating a mass pleasing    Naughty Dog crafts an immensely ambitious sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed games ever. One that is never shy to taking massive risks and making incredibly bold decisions.

    From the very beginning, this game honours its predecessor whilst simultaneously creating its unique voice. Instead of just repeating what made the first game so good and lazily creating a mass pleasing cash grab, Naughty Dog approaches the second instalment with a fresh and unpredictable creative eye, morphing what starts as a simple revenge story, into a rich, complex character study of the controlling effect of pain and anger.

    The gameplay feels developed, introducing more variety to encounters with different enemy types whilst increasing the many different ways that an encounter can be successfully handled. Paired with the stunning visuals, the player feels more immersed than ever before, the brutality being realised to a scarily real degree whilst the photorealistic character models depict the character's clear emotions through distinct facial expressions and body movements.

    The game is packed with twists, turns and surprising moments. Around the mid-point of the story, when the high intensity, fast paced quest for revenge is at an all time high, the narrative is unexpectedly altered and the pace is reduced to a sludge. I thought for a short period that this was a flaw, but throughout the second half of the game, I began to realise the truly ambitious and surprising route that the story was taking. It's a concept that on paper, would seem ridiculous, but Naughty Dog handles it with such maturity and precision that it elevates the themes and makes the story unique and special. As the game works to its conclusion, the slow middle section feels entirely justified.

    After playing 'The Last of Us: Part II' I can easily say that it is the most impressive video game I have ever played. I felt almost every emotion during my play through, consistently being surprised at the bold and impeccable decisions being made. By the end, I was left in pieces. The story only becoming more emotional and resonant the more I ponder back on it. The story is beautifully concluded, subtly but powerfully completing the character arcs and rounding off the game's themes. This was an emotionally challenging experience, one that is absolutely generation defining; a masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics and sound effects are excellent. But this is also the only really good thing.

    The gameplay is similar to the first part, which isn't necessarily bad. But after 7 years of development one could have expected more. For my taste there are also too many annoying Quick-Time events.

    The AI opponents are blind in places and mostly follow fixed routes. This could have been done better in an AAA game.

    The story is the real point of criticism. It is garbage.

    First the death of Joel: He is letting himself be led like a lamb to the slaughter in the first two hours of the game. Tommy has also lost all of his survivor instint. With the early death of Joel one feels screwed because the trailers suggest he's going off with Ellie. This was the first point – two hours into the game! – where i considered quitting.

    Still the game had the potential to entertain me because Ellie was still left. But her character development was a total failure. The multi-layered personality of the first part became a female captain Ahab, who wanted to slay his white whale at all costs. Totally flat. The only thing you can say about Ellie in the second Part oft he game ist that she's lesbian, vindictive, and extremely dangerous. She has become absolutely boring.

    But the really **** part is that you have to play half the game as Abby, the murderess of Joel. She is a completely psyopathic, testosterone-damaged mass murderer who enjoys killing. One of the most unsympathetic characters I have ever seen in a game/film. Compared to her, Joffrey Baratheon is a lovable guy. When the gameplay switched to Abby i stopped playing, but restarted later to hopefully get revenge on her. So I spent half of the game thinking, "When am I going to switch back to Ellie and be able to kill Abby?

    But even that is not to happen. In the end, after Ellie has lost everyone and sacrificed everthing for her revenge and is literally seconds away from killing Abby, she just stops and lets her go. Wow, that is like Captain Ahab stopping to stab Moby Dick because in the last moment he recognizes the senselessnes of his acts.
    Why does the player not get the choose what to do? Every third-class RPG gives you choice an builds an individual end based on your choices.

    One can sum up the story oft he game with one sentence: revenge ist bad. That´s it.

    In the end TLOU2 is a solid survival action game with great graphics, great sound and an average gameplay.
    However, the plot is more than thin and the characters are hollow and unsympathetic.

    I did not enjoy the game at all and would personally give it zero points.
    But since only half of it is bad - story and character development - 5 points seemed more appropriate. It is works as an undemanding shooting game.    … Expand

It has some good aspects and some bad ones. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is good for the most part, and there are really nice parts of the story. The main flaw is making the user play as Abby for ten+ hours. She never grows as a character, never shows any remorse for her actions. Joel was an antihero who did bad things, but still had a heart. Abby is just a straight up villain and psychopath. That said, I do think it's worth playing and has some really cool moments, but all in all is not a masterpiece.… 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]
