    This game is an absolute masterpiece. Even better than the first. Naughty Dog's craftsmanship is only rivaled by Rockstar, and this is their best game yet. So obvious from their reviews that most people who "hate" this game didn't even play it. If you don't like what happens in the story, fine, but the story is very well written and acted.

Despite a few minor flaws which could’ve been fixed and made the game a 10, for example the placement of some events and the character development of some characters it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and having just finished the game I’m so eager to play again and get all the trophies For all last of us fans I would highly recommend playing this brilliant game if you haven’t already, although I can’t promise you’ll enjoy it as much as me you’ll definitely be satisfied as you get to witness the continuation of Joel and Ellie’s paths, and the introduction of some new characters. recommend p… Expand

The way that it's forces you to shift perspectives and gain empathy for characters who are normally more one dimensional is pretty genius. That and the very grim, in-your-face depiction of cycles of vengeance and brutality at it's most mf'ing brutal (You're supposed to feel that way btw. It's emotional manipulation, like all entertainment.) I think if you liked the first game you'll like this. It's more of the same...uh...mostly. Way more intense and creeped me out thoroughly at some points. So so good!… Expand

    The story is amazing. Yes, it‘s not normal but it goes beyond your skin. I don’t give it 10 points because the battles are sometimes repetitive but in general the gameplay feels amazing. The graphics are outstanding for a ps game.

Особенно если играть на 4К телике, так вообще море удовольствия получишь от графики! Геймплей интересный и не однообразный, атмосфера прекрасная. Я готов простить игру за все, ибо это настоящий шедевр! К сожалению большинство людей не поняли сюжет, и закидывают игру нулями, даже не аргументировано, а чего вы ожидали хеппи энд? Это суровая реальность жизни, и игра нам это показывает, до чего может привести месть, я такой же фанат первой части как и все, но нормальные фанаты поймут смысл второй части, который нам хотели донести, да мне тоже безумно было жалко увидеть жестокую смерть моего любимого персонажа Джоэла, но ничего не поделаешь, это суровая реальность нашей с вами жизни, и к этому надо быть готовым! Я не говорю что мне безумно понравилось играть за Эбби, и увидеть её историю, хотя мне этот персонаж не особо нравиться, но раскрыли её не так уж и плохо, но и не хорошо, среднее. А от финала игры, я вообще плакал, меня тупо порвало на слёзы!!! Это очень тяжёлая игра , с серой моралью, и глубоким смыслом. Скажу вам одну легендарную фразу от одного мудрого человека: "Насилие порождает насилие, и за смерть, платят, смертью, те кто не испытывает сомнения, и не знает раскаяние, никогда не выберутся из этого круга" Вот эта фраза идеально описывает сюжет второй части The Last of Us 2. Пройдите игру пару раз и может вы поймете смысл сюжета, ибо мы все наблюдатели этой тяжелой истории мести, насилия, крови. И может тогда задумаетесь, и поймете, что сюжет не такой уж и ужасный, да не спорю, есть немного недочётов в нём, но если на все закрыть глаза, и проникнуться этой истории самому, то тогда вы поймете, что это настоящий шедевр! Что насчёт ЛГБТ повестки, да, безусловно в игре она есть, но она на сюжет никаким образом не влияет, да и от силы её тут 10-15 минут не более, конечно мне не хотелось что бы эта повестка в дальнейших проектах Naughty Dog развивалась больше, но будем надеется на это, я лично против всей этой фигни, но отношусь я к этому крайне нейтрально. Но повторюсь, из за этой повестки хейтить игру, это очень глупо и нелепо, ибо на сюжет она НИКАК не повлияла! Я лично на это все закрыл глаза, и просто наслаждался игрой! Всем спасибо кто прочтёт мой отзыв, и дам вам свой совет, в такие игры играть нужно САМОМУ, а не смотреть всяких г*вно блогеров обзорщиков, которые поливают игру дерьмом, ради хайпа. Всем желаю добра, и играйте только в хорошие и годные игры!… Expand

    This game does not deserve the negative review bomb it received. The gameplay is still as solid as it was in the first game. And although not much has changed and some people argue that there is not much innovation to detect: why fix something that isn’t broken?

The gameplay is still as solid as it was in the first game. And although not much has changed and some people argue that there is not much innovation to detect: why fix something that isn’t broken?

    The stealth aspect of the game and the A.I. of the enemies remain still very well implemented. This leads to some very interesting battles and epic fights. Most of the times intelligent and tactical planning is what’s required, sometimes you just need blazing guns and every resource you can find to survive. Item crafting possibilities have been expanded to some degree. Some new enemy types have been introduced.

    While playing the game, I did experience doubt and aversion at times about the directions the story pushed me in as a player. That being said, in the end it all made sense. At the end of my first playthrough, I understood what the writers were pointing out to and what insights they meant to provide me. Taking such bold moves and choices in the storyline to implicitely deliver the messages (eg. revenge will get you nowhere) deserves credit. Especially since the game’s story works as a mirror to you as a player. It challenges your own feelings and dispositions. I therefore think the storywriting is actually quite solid. Just like the first game the story delivers an emotional experience and at times really pulls you into it. In comparison to the first game, the story arch is a bit less straightforward and deliberately split up into two distinctive parts and timelines. Therefore it can be a bit more confusing than the first game.

    Graphics are simply stunning and pushing the ps4 to its limits. Sound design is brilliant. Especially when playing using a headphone, new levels of sound details can be found.

    Finally the designers have put lots of effort in accessibility of the game for people with visual- or other physical impairments.

    Of course the games also has some flaws: some of the fights can become a bit tedious and repetetive, especially towards the end. Also, I think the game could have been a bit shorter. Yes I mean that, 20-25 hours max would have been just as fine. On some occasions there were some dialogues that were either unnecessary or took a strange turn. At some points characters popped up or left quite suddenly with no good or believable explanation.

    All in all I honestly think this game deserve a very solid 8 at least. Pushing it to a 9 here to compensate somewhat for the unfair review bomb, mainly based on leaked footage and people    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s lovely
    Это прекрасная игра абсолютно со всех сторон. Да, я тоже очень люблю Джоэла, но это просто персонаж, тем более персонаж, который стал главной мотивацией этой игры. Картинка
    Моя фатка не везде справлялась и местами вылезали непонятные пиксели. Где-то Элли застревала в дверях. Такие мини баги были, но это фигня. Детализация в игре просто поражает. Просто представьте, я заваливаю бегуна, а у него их кармана падает коробок с патронами (я это вижу буквально), ну и подбираю его. Или как девчонки, забирая патроны из другого оружия, берут именно магазин. Таких крутых мелочей в игре пруд пруди. Механики
    Именно играть стало гораздо круче, чем в первой части, именно из-за новых механик, вот это вот ползком, просачиваться, забираться, очень круто. Как же круто с луком играть в этой части, только восторг. Крафт стрел, маленькие логические задачки с веревкой, подбор цифр к сейфу без знания код, определяя правильный выбор по щелчку, кайф. Сюжетик
    К сожалению, меня настигли спойлеры за неделю до выхода игры. Всю эту неделю я просто точила пальцы, чтобы влететь в игру и разнести за Джоэла нерадивых засранцев оставивших Элли живой. Но как только я вижу и слышу размышления Эбби, их эмоции относительно Джоэла, уже с самого начала перестала однозначно их ненавидеть. Концовку вижу более, чем логичной. Элли не могла пережить эти события, жить с постоянными кошмарами, флэшбеками и видениями средь бела дня, вспоминать о любимом человеке только в последние секунды его жизни, уверена, мало кто смог бы. И вот она получает ниточку, которая может привести ее к освобождению от этого всего, которая может все закончить. Но в процессе, в самом конце, она вспоминает что-то хорошее и наконец сама чувствует освобождение. Игра дикий класс, даже без этого мяса из нулей, я бы все равно поставила игре ну минимум 8-9

    Great graphics, amazing character-environment interaction, good story, unlike most in the sense that there is no "real" villian only a bunch of selfish humans which is basically real life. Very controversial story but in a good way cause it gets you thinking about different social structures, at least it got me thinking. Also lots of death so that might be a deal breaker.

The enemies are more intellegent to compliment the new combat. I would reccomend Hard mode for the first playthrough, unless you want to play for the ambitious story, then normal will suffice.

    I think the low rating is related to the extremely high expectations from this sequel. If you leave the story aspect aside, which is indeed the weakest aspect here, then as a stand-alone game it is quite good. It is almost the same gameplay as in the previous one with some improvements, so if you liked the first you should be good with this one as well.

    So,
    Graphics - 10/10 - The game looks amazing as you could expect, the animations both in the cut scenes and the in-game are great.

    Sound - 10/10 - Great ambient sounds which gets you into the atmosphere, weapon shots and reloads sound amazing.

    Voice Acting 10/10 - As you expect from Naughty Dog, always deliver a perfect voice acting, all voice talents did an amazing job here.

    Soundtrack - 10/10 - Music which gets you into the atmosphere perfectly.

    Gameplay - 8/10 - Enjoyable, a bit improved from the previous game, but gets repetitive after about 70% of the game.

    Story - 3/10 - Well, it is bad. Really really bad. Not only it is not interesting, especially the second half of the game, some of the character's choices which affect the story, does not make to much sense.

    Beautiful game with an impactful story about the cost of revenge. Clearly so many of these 0 reviews miss the true moral of the story, which is that revenge is toxic and if you succumb to the desire then you will lose who you are. Brilliant and powerful ending.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With a bold and daring story decision, the last of us part 2 challenges the player to look at the other side of the same coin.

    Abby is debuted in a brutal hateful way. The game over time proceeds to asks the player to understand, to walk a mile in another’s shoes and see everyone has a personal struggle. If it wasn’t Abbys story, it could have been any one related to the other thousands of people massacres by Joel in part one.

    This game isn’t perfect, but it tries something new and daring for a game of this caliber. It’s a shame the internet hate mob couldn’t get past the fact that there is lgbtq representation and a woman with large muscles. A compelling and challenging story,

    The Last of Us 2 é uma experiência incrível. A morte do Joel incomodou muitos jogadores, inclusive a mim. Entretanto, se olharmos a história pelo outro lado, onde Joel, no primeiro jogo, eliminou por completo a possibilidade de criação de uma “cura”, ele realmente fez grandes inimigos. TLOU2 entrega uma história dramática e muito emocionante. Muita coisa mudou do primeiro jogo pra o segundo. As comunidades, criações, entre outras coisas evoluíram. É muito bacana observar como isso foi mostrado no jogo.

    Graficamente o jogo arrebenta. O mundo “pós apocalíptico” continua muito bem representado. Inclusive a vegetação cresceu e a flora tomou cidades deixando os cenários lindos. Enfim, é um jogo completo com uma experiência incrível, assim como o primeiro, que deve ser jogado por todos aqueles que presam por um game de enredo e conteúdo artistico único.    … Expand

    yo no veo a Abby como relleno, más bien todo lo contrario, es la protagonista. Es la que tiene la trama más compleja y los personajes mejor desarrollados (ya conocernos todo sobre Ellie, Joel y Tommy)

    La decepción que sienten algunos es porque esperan que ellie sea la protagonista todo el tiempo, pero te das cuenta que no, y que además es la mala. Eso lo hace aún más grande.

    I played this game blind, without knowing any of the controversies or leaks, and without reading a single review beforehand. And what I got was an incredible experience that haunted me for days, and still has me thinking about it even a week later. Though it's not horror, it's one of the darkest games I've ever played. It made me do things I've never done in a game before, things thatI played this game blind, without knowing any of the controversies or leaks, and without reading a single review beforehand. And what I got was an incredible experience that haunted me for days, and still has me thinking about it even a week later. Though it's not horror, it's one of the darkest games I've ever played. It made me do things I've never done in a game before, things that were extremely uncomfortable and heart-wrenching. If the goal of Part II was to elicit emotion from the player, then it's a resounding success.

    Having looked at some other reviews now, it seems that that emotional discomfort really bothered people. Whereas for me, I was in awe that a game could make me feel this way. Naughty Dog could have easily given fans exactly what they wanted, a play-it-safe sequel where nobody we care about dies, and everyone lives happily ever after. But that's not how life works, especially in this ultraviolent world they've created. Without spoiling anything, Naughty Dog took a big risk with Part II and I couldn't be happier about it. There's simply no other AAA game that has done before what they accomplished. The story is immense, complex, and daring.

    The Last of Us Part II is revolutionary. Not only in its multi-sided story-telling, but also in its mechanics and meticulous attention to detail. Every moment in this game is screenshot-worthy, and the combat is more immersive than ever with enemies calling each other by name. It's such a simple idea to think about and yet it adds so much to each combat scenario. Shoot someone in the head and their friend might yell "NO, SKYLER!" The violence & gore is also just plain disturbing at times. Not since the original Soldier of Fortune have I been this shocked to go up to a dead body and witness the aftermath of my chaos.

    It's clear that an ungodly amount of work and talent went into every facet of this game, and when I finished it I struggled to "review" it in my mind. It was just SO MUCH to process. It took me days to finally decide what number rating to give it, but when I managed to put all the pieces together and look at the game for what it was (not what I expected it to be) I realized that the game was a masterpiece.

    Don't listen to the negativity of others. Play the game yourself and come to your own conclusions. In my mind, Part II is a must play title, every bit worthy as a sequel to one of the best Playstation games ever made, and my personal game of the year thus far.    … Expand

The characters manage to be more compelling than many of the original just off of simple character motivations and what you learn from them as the story goes on, the gameplay is some the most crafty and intense survival combat you'll ever see thanks to the AI, the exploration is much more engaging and impactful thanks to the larger open areas that may have enemies you don't want to waste resources on and the simple yet efficient environmental puzzles, the twists and turns the story puts you through feel like something out of a coen brothers or a24 film (makes you wonder how those directors who commended kojima for death stranding would feel about tlou2), the game is simply just one of the best games this gen. Compared to the first game it's got much more meat to it, stronger world building thanks to the different factions, much more believable enemies that fall less into your typical game types like the molotov guys from the first, the gameplay again is just improved top to bottom and above all the game gives much more naunced perspectives. I was genuinely surprised at how much I loved this game, I don't like a lot of cinematic games and I'm not at all a naughty dog fan, I think uncharted 4 is almost as bad as 1. Really the only reason I don't give it a 10 is because I'm sure there are a few problems I missed but nothing that will fundamentally change my experience, I can't imagine a better sequel than the one we got for this game; for all the talk of people say for wanting games to take advantage of the medium it's a part of tlou2 does it to tell this pretty impactful story of 2 people wronged and deal with it in ways that are ultimately unhealthy to say the least.… Expand

I have some small gameplay nitpicks such as being unable to switch camera shoulders outside of ADS and being forced to take some skills I wasn't going to use, but as a whole, I think they improved the gameplay of the first game in every way. The combat is brutal and shocking, the infected are terrifying, and scavenging is still rewarded with mini in-universe stories and bits of exposition that really heighten the experience.

    The story is incredible in my opinion. It is emotionally devastating and not easy, but very satisfying and really carry over the themes from the first game quite well. There are some small changes that I would make to the story as well just to help with pacing and unity but even these are minor.

    I did not see any of the negative reactions until after I had finished the game and I am so grateful I stayed away because much of the criticism seems in really bad faith to me. I think that there absolutely can be plenty of good conversations about what this game did well and where it fell short but unfortunately any discussion of this game is hijacked by bad actors and bandwagon haters.

    The best narrative in any game I've ever played. Amazing how they weaved it into the gameplay, which was a ton of fun in its own right.

    Es un juego que, para gustarte, hay muchas condiciones. Principalmente no spoilearte o estar abierto a lo que el juego quiere mostrarte y poder sentirlo. En mi caso personal, me sucedió y debo decir que fue hermoso.
    Hablando de la historia, fue un camino de emociones. Pase de llorar, a incomodarme, a ponerme feliz, alegrarme, sentir odio, querer venganza, etc. Puedo decir que peca en alargarse un poco, pero su intención al fin y al cabo es la que a muchos no les afecto y a otros si (SPOILER: ///e.m.p.a.t.í.a.///).
    El juego se complica en ese sentido únicamente.

    Banda sonora: Muchos dicen que no la sintieron, pero creo que es cuestión de que el tiempo pase y cada vez te va gustando mas. En mi caso, tengo 4 o 5 canciones en Spotify 10/10 Santaolalla

    Jugabilidad: Adictiva, envolvente, real y muy divertida. 10/10

    Graficos: Hermoso. La ambientación es muy buena, y eso que es solo un apartado ya que todo lo demas hace conjunto del ambiente que te genera el juego. Lo mejor para la PS4, un cierre a la generación 10/10.

    Desarrollo de personajes: Resumen sin spoilers seria decir que personajes como Ellie que es la protagonista pudo desarrollarse muy bien, y se logra ver fácilmente un cambio muy natural y comprensible. Aun mas si se logra entender a través de saber lo que se siente.

    S P O I L E R S Ellie, despues del final del 1, en los flashbacks, es la misma chica. Luego, cuando ocurre que se entera de la verdad, surgue un gran cambio entre la relación de Joel y ella misma. Ese quiebre desencadena su dolor a la perdida de Joel y a la vez es lo que le molesto tanto... el no poder perdonarlo y que su ultima charla fuera tan mala. En mi cuestión personal, se perfectamente que es perder a un pariente como un padre o madre. Se lo que es no perdonarte por cosas que vistas desde afuera son comprensibles, pero ese odio tuyo y a lo sucedido es muy grande. En fin, Ellie pasa de la niña optimista y alegre a ser alguien que se obsesiono por su sed de venganza y a la vez por poder perdonarse. Cuando está por matar a Abby, logra darse cuenta y siente que eso no solucionara nada y que solo traerá mas tristeza a todos (Ya me imagino a Lev vengandose). Ellie paso de esa niña a esa loca desesperada por venganza que destruye a todos a su paso. Esta vez no mata por supervivencia, sino por odio. Ese odio es lo que la cambia por completo y la deja sola. El final te deja en claro que empieza desde cero, y me parece tristemente hermoso.
    En cuanto a los otros personajes, Joel estaba completo como persona. Aspectos que dicen que fue forszada su muerte por confiar en los demás, me parece completamente comprensible. A punto de una desición muy dificil la cual llevaria en un instante a otro a Jackson en una oleada y su muerte junto a la de Tommy. Aparte, hay que fijarse en como Joel paso de lo que fue en el TLOU hasta ahora. Un hombre completamente cambiado. Se volvio amable, sabio, divertido y bondadoso. Eso fue a causa de que él vivío en Jackson en paz durante 4 o 5 años. Volvio a lo que era estar tranquilos en un poblado.

    SIN SPOILERS
    En conclusión, puedo decir que es un juego que no les puede gustar a todos si no llegar a sentir lo que te quieren transmitir. Hay que ir con la cabeza en blanco. Es algo muy complicado de lograr, ya que es arriesgado y lo logra con algunas personas. Es un juego que es muy complicado no spoilearse, lamentablemente. Lo recomiendo completamente. Mas allá de la historia, en todos sus demás apartados es muy divertido y hermoso.    … Expand

    Finally, done with The Last of Us Part II. I won't go into any detail regarding the story. I'll dissect things in bits and pieces which constitute the game as a whole, and then a summary of my thoughts. First off, this game is not for everyone.

    Finally, done with The Last of Us Part II. I won't go into any detail regarding the story. I'll dissect things in bits and pieces which constitute the game as a whole, and then a summary of my thoughts.

    First off, this game is not for everyone. I won't go into any arguments as to why this is the case, as we all interpret things differently. As for me, I loved it. Despite all the flak that Naughty Dog has been getting lately from all over the Internet, I feel like they gave me more than my money's worth. And then some.

    GAMEPLAY
    It's more of the same, with minor improvements here, and there. I don't think there's really much to touch up on the gameplay, as it was already top notch to begin with. I did like how fluid everything felt, due in part to a heightened sense of freedom of approach. You can opt for stealth, or go in guns blazin' like the cowboy that you are. The game doesn't push you into a certain playstyle, and it makes it really fun. I do recommend playing on the higher difficulties. Fewer resources means you plan out how you'll use what you have, and how you approach certain scenarios. It really makes you feel the drab scarcity of the world you live in. And the game shines in that regard. LEVEL DESIGN - Gameplay
    I like how the level design was literally elevated. Since there's an added verticality to Ellie, the map was constructed with multiple tiers in mind. I felt that the first game was so tight and constrictive, but this one blows it out of the park. Massive levels with much more freedom during subsections meant a more varied experience for everyone, minimizing repetition. This also means more replayability, since you can miss out on a lot because of how much there is to see. LEVEL DESIGN - Art
    I paid much more attention to the lay of the land this time around, and I can see how meticulously crafted the world is, very much similar to the first game. I really like how interconnected everything feels compared to the previous game.

    PLAYTIME
    My playtime total was 35 hours and 25 mins. Due to the added nature of the highest difficulty, I did take some more time with the game than usual. I also tried to mop up as much of the collectibles as I could, which also added to the counter. Overall, this is a 20-25 hour game on regular difficulties. There were some padded out sections, but I didn't really feel it was too detrimental to the whole experience. STORY
    This is where it gets spicy. A lot of people hate it, a lot of people are indifferent, and then there are people like me who loved it. I think this is an examination of the human psyche, and the depths we're willing to go to fulfill our need for satisfaction, whatever that may be. The Last of Us isn't a story about heroes and villains; it's a human story about people just trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. A world wherein survival could mean consequences down the line, and how our actions, no matter how justified or satisfying it may be, will always have repercussions. It might be hard to relate to, for some, given the circumstances we live in, but I couldn't really think of anything to compare this to. It's a world of its own. There were times when I had trouble going further, mainly because it was all too much. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because then I wouldn't have the drive to see things through. And it also means that it makes me feel so much, which, I must say, doesn't happen quite a lot, even in other entertainment media.

    I did go into this with no preconceived notion as to how it should go. After all, this isn't my story to tell. I'm lucky I was able to avoid spoilers as much as possible, because it would've ruined the experience. The plot as a whole won't be agreeable for everyone, but I like how it was done, and I felt that no one was left behind in this story. Execution was really great. SUMMARY
    In the end, everything was worth it; the wait, the money spent, the time lost to playing. A rollercoaster of emotions throughout, with some moments leaving me teary-eyed, or just downright broken at the core. And I think this is where it succeeds, since the goal was to challenge your outlook on survival, and how far you're willing to go to feel some semblance of vindication. It's not a perfect game; in fact, far from it. But what it does great far surpasses what it does otherwise. And the fact that it encourages discussion between the morality of the charactes, and the story itself, is a victory already. And that god-tier animation. Facial detail is on a whole another level. Naughty Dog set the standard again in that regard. I'd give it a 9/10. -1 for not doing much in terms of gameplay innovation.

    I forgot to say this but mad props to Naughty Dog for adding in that extra work to make the game accessible for everyone. You can spend an hour alone tweaking the game to your liking / disability / personal challenges.    … Expand

    The Last Of Us Part II is one of the best games I ever played.

    Besides the very sophisticated, controversy story, it features the best graphics I ever saw on any console, a superb sound backdrop as well as tough strategical horror gameplay that will definitely keep you on the sofa's edge with a quickened pulse! But now to the most important part: the game's very courageous storyline.    The Last Of Us Part II is one of the best games I ever played.

    Besides the very sophisticated, controversy story, it features the best graphics I ever saw on any console, a superb sound backdrop as well as tough strategical horror gameplay that will definitely keep you on the sofa's edge with a quickened pulse!

    But now to the most important part: the game's very courageous storyline. It's an absolute roller-coaster of feelings. Nope, it won't go the old-fashioned "good versus evil" way with tough guys and weak women, it's a very modern story, even with same-sex feelings. If you're "too tough" for standing that, just leave it; it'll just make you angry. But if you're open-minded, the game will make you laugh, love, hate and everything in between.

    Also, and that's why it's modern and very brave for an expensive triple-A title, it sheds light to "the bad side" too, by switching perpectives. Like many outstanding movies that make you ponder (21 Grams, L.A. Crash, BABEL, The Thin Red Line, ...), the game shows that your enemies have their own issues, reasonable motives and feelings, too. Just like enemies (=people) in real-life would.

    Usually, this is not a topic for games as its easier to write a one-sided story and simpler to digest for the consuments. But it also won't make you THINK about it. Now we have some **** storms and (stupid) petitions, so ND did something right. ;) PS: TLOU2 is also not a game for children, it is VERY (because realistically) brutal and contains some sex scenes, too. Just saying. If you own a PS4, PLAY THIS GAME!    … Expand

    La narrativa de este juego es prácticamente perfecta y se la juega mucho con el jugador dando saltos y haciéndote ver o hacer cosas que no querrías para a través de ellas hacerte sentir algo y darle sentido a lo que te están contando. No se puede decir mucho de este juego sin entrar en spoilers pero en mi opinión es una joya que todo el mundo que tenga una PS4 debería jugar o almenos probar, no es una obra maestra ni es un 10 ni un 9, porque falla en algo muy importante que es el gameplay, eso sí eso no quita que sea uno de los juegos que más enganchado a la pantalla de los que he jugado este último año.

    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]
