    the game just messed up its story. violence strikes violence - stupid attempts to please everyone are stupid with stupid ideas. you killed our beloved Heroes, whom we have been waiting for more than 5 years, added some kind of without morons who are trying to show us how real heroes would appear, but we know that this is not so

Este videojuego tiene las mecanicas,jugabilidad y graficos geniales pero la historia que realmente importa lo hicieron horrible, primero matan a joel muy estupidamente, luego controlamos a ellie hasta la mitad del jugo pero la otra mitad la jugamos von abby la que mato a joel aqui intentan que nos empatizemos con ella pero no sirve de nada eso, tuvieron que poner solo el flashback de lo que motivo a abby a matar a joel y el final de lo peor, ellie mata a demasieda gente inocente, perros, scars que no tuvieron nada que ver con su venganza, pero cuanfo esta cara a cara con la que realmente mato a joel, no la mata y al final abby termina huyendo con el niño y ellie qurda sola sin un par de dedos y sin poder tocar la guitarra

    Oh by the way, I don't understand why the developers cannot see their story has a fatal conflict with the game-play itself. It feels so confusing to force the gamer to think that the NPCs you killed have their life/friends/love/whatever, while making you kill tons more of them without any hesitation.
    I tried so hard to understand the story on the creators' side, but still saw nothing but directing failure, and the whole team cannot stop the disaster from happening...

    My only complaint is the pacing. Brace yourself for a long game with people averaging around 25 to 30 hours.

    This is one of the best games I have ever played with the most tense story I've ever experienced in a video game.

I genuinely don't understand the people who dislike the story, as it's a constant barrage of drama and tension that pulls on your heartstrings from start to finish. If you like realistic stories told without pandering to an audience's expectations, whims, and/or desires, this game is perfect.

    The only small complaints I have with this game, which I also have with the first game, is the way the way it tries to force jump scares. Both this game and the first have a "listening" ability, which outlines creatures, and an ability to throw a bottle or brick to make noise. For whatever reason, the listening ability will frequently not show enemies that are actually there in order for the game to "get you" with a jump scare. These scares feel very cheap and, to stress, this is also the biggest flaw of the first game. If you didn't mind it in the first game, you won't mind it now. Just know, if you're not the best with scary games, that may be an issue.

    Besides that small issue, this is the prettiest game I've ever played with some of the best performances and one of the best stories I've ever consumed. Absolutely recommended.    … Expand

As for the leaks and spoilers... That is on you my friends. I chose not to look at any of them and I did not see a single leak because I chose NOT TO LOOK AT THEM! That is 100% your own fault if you chose to not ignore the leaks. Now, because of the leaks that YOU CHOSE TO LOOK AT, you want to cry like a baby and give a bad review? Please grow up.

Story wise it's nothing like the first. It's a sequel for a sequel's sake. The way joel dies is pathetic and the motivations feel contrived.

    Cae todo su juego en el momento en que muere Joel todo se va al carajo... muy bonito y todo pero no todo es imagen y sombras. Una historia forzada donde solo se nota que quieren fortalecer la idea de la homosexualidad, no deja de ser que un tumulto de lesbianas locas cascándose unas a otras... jajajaj que perdida de dinero. Es tan malo que se me antoja jugar FIFA 2020 Pandemia.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was awkward playing with Abby, I'd rather play with Tommy or just Ellie.
    Ellie completely lost her mental health and we see an Ellie with serious problems of post-traumatic stress and attacks of anger.
    Dina and Ellie's relationship is only there as filler for the story but it was really somethin0g unnecessary, I'm not homophobic but forced inclusion in an apocalypse is something "wtf?The only characters that were worth meeting in this installment were Lev and Yara. Nice detail in adding a very strict religious sect, in an apocalypse the church would still be powerful and manipulative. The gameplay is satisfying and makes your heart beat every time you die or survive the attack, nice detail in adding dogs and enemies like the Final boss. On this occasion Gustavo was also magnificent with his soundtrack. Love the game but it is not a masterpiece like the first . Thanks Naughty Dog. Sorry for my bad inglish.    … Expand

The studio once again proved that there are almost no equal to the development of the world, production moments, the very feeling of the game and its penetration.

    Pretty Disappointed

    As beautiful a canvas as you could ever want. Still love the gameplay and mechanics. It's just a flawed, headscratching story with flat and poorly developed characters. The characters we knew and loved are abused and worse by Naughty Dog and the fans are slapped in the face repeatedly. The first game was a lot to live up to and, well: "they made a sequel; it wasn't as good."

    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.
