    Absolutely briliant game, I have never played anything like this before. I loved everything especially the characters. The story is brilliant in my opinion.

    Best way to define it is a roller coaster of emotions, takes you to a journey that makes you wonder if you're doing the right thing. There's enough material to go further and make more content.

Bien, hablando de la historia, creo que es buena pero no excelente, tiene momentos tristes, de enojo, escenas impactantes pero creo que le faltó ser un poco mas dinámico, pasando a la historia de abby, es buena pero pasando algunas horas se siente bastante pesada y se pierde un poco la esencia del juego, hubo algunas partes que aunque no fueron aburridas si las sentí un poco de relleno y en otras parecía que estaba jugando resident evil, otro punto negativo es que pierdes mucho el tiempo looteando, eso si quieres mejorar tus armas y conseguir los coleccionables, pero si esto no te importa puedes pasar de largo. El final creo que fue justo para los dos personajes pero fue un poco forzado el capitulo anterior antes de llegar al final. Fuera de eso, creo que es un gran juego, pero no excelente en cuanto a la historia, pudieron recortar unas horas y no pasaba nada. En fin, yo le daría un 85/100.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In a lot of the criticism I read of Part II, I see a lot of people saying that the ending should’ve involved Ellie killing Abby, or a choice for the player whether to do so. In my opinion, either of these endings would’ve fundamentally gone against what I believe the writers’ intentions were in telling the story the way it was told, and undermined the entirety of the rest of the game.

    This game is about forgiveness. Everything that happens in the game culminates in the moment Ellie remembers Joel on the porch as she’s holding Abby underwater, in the same way that everything in the first game culminates in Ellie final ‘okay’. For me, when Ellie chooses not to go through with the vengeance, it was like a pressure relief valve was finally opened, releasing all the tension the game had built up between Ellie and Joel, Ellie and Abby, and Ellie and herself. In that small moment, Ellie finally opened herself up to at least the possibility of forgiving Joel for what he did to her (which we explore through the flashbacks), of forgiving Abby for what she did to Joel (which the game attempts to make the player themselves do through the second half of the game), and of forgiving herself for how she treated Joel after he told her the truth, the guilt associated with that, and the destructive and self destructive path she went down to hunt down Abby for taking Joel away from her, along with the ‘future days’ of reconciliation she envisioned between Joel and herself (which we see, and feel, in the first half of the game).

    All of the ways the game built up these layers of hate, guilt and, ultimately forgiveness within Ellie and the player would’ve been for nothing if Ellie simply kills Abby. Giving the player a choice about this would diminish the impact of the ending as much a choice between saving Ellie and humanity in the first game would’ve diminished the overpowering nature of Joel’s paternal love built up throughout that game.

    Ellie killing Abby would’ve been a truly grim, cynical, and nihilistic ending where Ellie really does end up with nothing left and completely alone, and would’ve turned it into the ‘revenge bad’ story a lot of this game’s critics claim that it currently is.

    My interpretation is that Ellie’s discovery of her own capacity for forgiveness is what drives her to keep going at the very end of the game. She’s holding on to the hope that Dina can also find the same intuition within herself to forgive Ellie for leaving their life on the farm.    … Expand

    After putting 25 hours into this game, I can safely say Naughty Dog have done it again. The level of story telling on display here, on top of gorgeous graphics, smooth animation, beautiful yet dark soundtrack, top-notch gore effects and amazing AI all meld into one of the best must-play-for-yourself games of 2020.

    Albeit not a perfect game, it's damn well fantastic. I found issues with the story, but nothing that majorly ruins the game. Play it for yourself and form your own opinion.

    Was an experience unlike anything I ever played and I mean it in a good way. The gameplay, technical aspects, art, and mechanics are great. The story is well written but does make you think and was invokes emotions and makes you think which turned off many. But I loved it.

    What a masterpiece. Incredible story, graphics and gameplay. Knowing what happens to the characters really changes the way you think about the first game as well, even years after it’s release. I loved it and wouldn’t change a thing about it.

    This story is definitely not what anyone thought they wanted from The Last of Us 2, but it's daring, raw, innovative, and ultimately fantastic. I feel like it truly deserves at least 3 playthroughs before one can really appreciate it's greatness.

    This is by far one of the best narrative driven games of this generation. This game is better than the original in pretty much every way. I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 but it doesn't mean it's without its flaws. However, the emotional impact it will have on you will make you ignore its imperfections. Amazing game.

    The combat gameplay is so tense compare with the first one. Really enjoy it.

    The cons are:
    -Huge lore, but we know so little about it.
    -There's a rough 10hours where the story doesn't really move (kind of a slow start)
    -Some characters had such a big potential but were kind of wasted/put away for the sake of moving on with the story. ( Wish we could have a better part for them).    … 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]
