    I don't know where people are getting these horrid reviews because I think it's one of the best games out there right now! As a matter of fact I absolutely hated the ending to last of us part 1 but I still love the game! I see some people saying they're confused about how the story goes and what the plot is you must not a played it because it's pretty clear!

    Awesome AAA game from a great studio.
    Made in a way that leaves it to you, the player, on how you feel about the characters. Every character has their reasons for doing what they do, but how you feel about them is left to you. I loved it.

    I've got a lot to say about this game, but I'd rather say just one thing. I've been sitting and watching the ending scene with Ellie and Abby like Matthew McConaughey's character in that scene from Interstellar. I was in extreme cultural shock. Even the RDR2 ending didn't hit me that hard. Definitely one of the best stories I've ever seen in games.

Even the RDR2 ending didn't hit me that hard. Definitely one of the best stories I've ever seen in games.
    Yes, the game has its issues with logical holes and gameplay, but the main idea and philosophy of the game are so much bigger, so I just didn't care about everything else.
    There's neither Good nor Evil in real life. Just your choices and consequences, which may be good for some people and horrible for others at the same time. TLOU2 is not the first game representing this philosophy, but this is definitely one of the best realizations so far.
    10/10 for me.

    I feel really sorry for all those people supporting that dirty trolling and behaving like that on socials and on Youtube. Just stop, guys. Most of you so upset by the game just because you all expected something similar to the first game, but it turned out to be different. I understand that we all have our favorite characters that we want to be alive forever. But good stories don't work quite like that (remember Game of Thrones for example). There's a much bigger picture in this game.

    ps
    yes, I've registered here just to write this. can't look at all this madness going on around this game.

Ich verstehe das viele Fans diesen Umschwung in der Story scheiße finden aber ich bin ganz ehrlich dieses Spiel hat mich wie auch der Vorgänger durch so viele Gefühle fahren lassen das ich finde das es diese Wertung nicht verdient hat und vorallendingen auch die Entwickler nicht das sie jetzt sieben Jahre mit und an diesem Blockbuster gearbeitet haben und ich finde das es wirklich ein Meisterwerk des Technischen und des Spielerischen geworden ist. Ich würde mich wirklich freuen wenn das Rating nochmal hochgeht das ich auch nicht verstehen kann wie die Wertung so sein kann obwohl nur 6%aller Spieler weltweit die Trophäe für das durchspielen erhalten haben und ich hoffe das die Leute die es noch durchspielen ihm eine bessere Wertung geben.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog The Last of us Part 2 is a master piece and just the sequel we needed for the incredible world that Naughty Dog built for us. Not only are the graphics beautiful, the game play swift and smooth but the story is just as emotional as the first game. I loved playing Abbys part of the game and seeing her perspective of the story made me feel sorry for what happened to her, but I feel like it would've been better as a DLC as it seems to slow the flow and pace of the story at one of the most intense parts.
    Overall it's an excellent game and a great way to end the PS4 generation. A must play for all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра произвела сильное впечатление. Намного более сильное, чем я того ожидал. Игру, по моему мнению, не испортила даже перенасыщеность "гендерных проблем", хотя изначально мне казалось, что это убьёт сюжет. Но нет, к моменту развязки все это ушло на второй план. Выводы, которые делают герои по ходу игры очень сильно меняют героев и это видно по их решениям - от начальной тяги к мести герои приходят к мысли, что месть - ничего не изменит.
    Но есть одно, от чего моё сердце до сих пор разрывается - смерть Джоэла. Из за этого хотелось понизить оценку на 3-4 балла, но я сдержался. Ведь я понимаю, что не все должно быть так, как мне хочется. Это - жизнь. И игра следует тому же правилу. Разработчики не побоялись хейта за принятие непопулярного и осуждаемого в обществе решения. И это круто. Немногие студии могут этим похвастать.
    Хотя мне кажется, что я бы смог решить эту проблему без смерти такого яркого, самобытного и колоритного персонажа, как Джоэл. Однако, к сожалению, не я работаю в компании.
    В общем, ставлю заслуженные 10/10. Игра оправдала ожидания. Игра обогнала свое время. Люди это поймут, немного позже. Через год, может два, но точно поймут. Thank you for this experience, NAUGHTY DOG.

    This game not as bad as people are saying. It's awesome work of Naughty Dog which really could be called a sequel for the first part of this game. If you wanna get amazing game-play and cool graphics, you just have to try this game. In general, plot is okay but it might be better. Not better than first part.

I really expected a lot of this game and it just completely blew me away from the beginning. The game play is incredibly smooth, the story is really intense, well-written and caught me right away. Definitely a GOTY-candidate for me.

Of course it is not a perfect execution, but it is as close as I can imagine getting, while grasping so much, going into so many complicated topics, and doing it so subtly too in some cases. It is not for everyone to enjoy, but it is for those willing, to experience it. There can be a lot of things disagreed on in the story, many conversations started. And that is why I am glad this game exists. I hope people will be willing to dig deeper, and see what was done here. And over time allow this medium to reach its full potential, which proved by this game, is huge. Expand

    A Masterpiece of Storytelling in Videogames. While the pacing is not optimal and some levels could have been shorter, overall this is the climax of Naughty Dog Games in terms of Gameplay, Enviromental Storytelling, Cinematography, Sound Design and Animations.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The rest of the people on this website are overreacting to an outrageous degree. This game is not as terrible as most people are saying. What they are, is pissed off at certain plot points, to a degree that they ignore the rest of the game. The soundtrack for the game is incredible and immersive. The lighting and visuals are the best out of any game i've ever played. The character models aren't incredible, but to say they're bad would be wrong. Each one is unique and looks better than 90% of games. The actual acting is top notch, as expected from Naughty Dog. The atmosphere is tense as hell, and really immerses you in the game. And no, unlike what everyone says, the game is not as bleak and void of fun as they say. There's plenty of jokes and beautiful moments that make the slower parts worth it. I mean, just look at the museum scene.
    Now, where the game does fall apart, is the story. Yes, it's bad. If NG just rearranged some scenes, it would be perfectly good. The building blocks for a good story are there, but they're not put together. However, the combat system has made many improvements (besides for dodging, because god that's broken), it's so accessible that you can play it if you're visually or audibly impaired, and if you have declined motor functions. There's plenty of environmental puzzles (Even though many critics will lead you to think otherwise), and the chase scenes are tense as hell.

    The only reasons that this game is being rated so low, are:
    People are being pissy that NG made some massive jumps narrative wise
    They killed off Joel without any retribution (When he deserved it, since he removed the potential cure for humanity and killed hundreds of people)
    The story is sub-par (Haha golf joke)
    And, most of all, they're comparing it to the first game. Which is flat out unfair. Nothing they could put out could top the first game, because the first game was built around making connections and deepening them, while getting to understand and connect with characters. But there's no way they could be as compelling in a sequel, when you already know the characters inside and out, the bar is way too high, and they couldn't make any massive twists like the first game, since their personalities are already set in stone from the first.
    Overall, the game is set to way too high of a bar because of it's predecessor, but if you take it as a standalone game, it's easily an 8/10 at the very least.

    The Last of Us Part. II, is a show, with beautiful graphics “even on ps4 fat” and a very fluid and challenging gameplay. A remarkable story that brings different conflicting feelings. It may not please everyone, it requires a lot of maturity and leaves a bitter taste in us, but certainly a unique, adult game that should be played by everyone if possible.

    This game is a masterpiece. Period. But not for everybody.
    First let me tell you what is undeniable good in the game. Then we can discuss the "bad" part. Graphics: It is really stunning, the lighting, textures, effects. You wont believe is still a PS4 game and pc master race boy is telling you.
    Details: The detail on this game is gargantuan, Unreal. From every póster, every note, objects.
    This game is a masterpiece. Period. But not for everybody.
    First let me tell you what is undeniable good in the game. Then we can discuss the "bad" part. Graphics: It is really stunning, the lighting, textures, effects. You wont believe is still a PS4 game and pc master race boy is telling you.

    Details: The detail on this game is gargantuan, Unreal. From every póster, every note, objects. You are not longer in a video game room pretending to be a real life place, you are in a real place inside a video game. Every place can tell you a story, each corner shows you how it became stuck in Time, but nature keep moving onward. I found myself looking at every detail in every room and place. Ambientation: You go from breathtaking landscapes to nightmare fuel places, which they were once common crowded places now you have to explore abandoned in the dark. You can feel fear and danger on every step. No apocalyptic world feel so real like this game. Gameplay : Its brutal, dynamic and organic. Every move and Action your characters do has weight and reacts to her surroundings. I never felt safe or powerful, but always with the necesary tools to survive. Acting : yes Acting, since the characters has voice, facial expressions and body languaje, along with prime dialogue writing, sometimes you can forget that they are virtual characters. Now im going to talk about the controversial part. Story. So Minor Spoilers ahead and really helpfull clarifications.

    First, there is no LGBTTIQ agenda. Yes Ellie is lesbian and Lev is transgender, not transexual. But these are character traits, a part of their whole and not a big label.
    You are more into Ellie artístic and geek part, and Lev wisdom and courage and his grow Out of the Shell.

    Second. If you want to play with the charming anti hero that kills every thing without remorse, this is not your game. Joel is no a playable character and the main characters are real people with flaws, but the will to survive. Third and most important. These characters motivations are not clear as water and Their decitions will not be the same as yours, dont try to be rational, they are human beings in a apocalyptic World trying to do what is right or feel right to them.

    That said, if you are mature enough to go along with a simple plot full of the best and the worst human feels, the misery of human nature and the consequences of your actions. Then the game is for you. The ending and the story as a whole will feel like your heart is ripped Out, then crushed and craved in again by your guts. If a game can make you feel that, then is more than a game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Мне игра очень понравилась! Сам прошёл обе части и являюсь фанатом первой. Игра очень красивая и имеет очень интересные механики. Но есть вопросы к сюжету и поворотам. Я считаю концовку незакончиной. Эли отпускает Джоела и т д но куда она пошла. За Диной? Неизвестно. В интервью от разработчиков о финале не говорится. Да он открыт на случай ДЛС и 3 части. И конец с Эбби где Эли её отпускает. Это говорит что Эли успокаевается и отпускает её. Дина. Она ушла потому что она подумала что Эли за чертой после которой уже нельзя спости человека по этому она уезжает с фермы. Слова из интервью. Я считаю это крайне спорно и ещё есть очень много спорных моментов но игру я считаю для себя Игрой года. Очень реалистичная и не добрая. Есть моменты но грустных и печальных больше. Мне игра очень понравилась и я буду ждать ДЛС и если будет 3 части. Да это будет нескоро но я очень буду ждать. Друзья если вам не нравится игра- это ваше мнение но не ведите ь на обзорщиков которые её хейтят. У каждого своё мнение и его нужно уважать. И не надо ненавидит игру из за показа сексуальные меньшинстве. В игре вполне нормальная любовная линия. Не идеальная но и не ужасная. И в конце. Все негодуют из за сюжета. Он не идеален. Он вполне хорошь. Не могут Ноти Дог сделать лучше чем уже есть на данный момент. Это тоже из интервью. Они раскрыли персонажей, сделали любовные линии, сделали привязанности. В начале я ненавидел персанажа Эбби но потом оказалось что она тоже мстит и в итоге Эли отпускает Эбби не из-за слабости а из-за уважения к Джоелу и к Эбби ибо насилие поражает насилие. И Эли отпускает Джоела после концовка завараживает и даёт почву для интереса и размышления. Я никого не прошу менять точку зрения. Всё равно много гневных отзывов от людей которые даже не играли в игру. Мне просто жалко проект. И из-за этих диванных критиков 3 часть или ДЛС могут не выйти. Я бы поставил 9 из 10 но 1 часть была дополнина плюс меня порадовалапроработка Эли с её синдромом выжившего и постравмотическим синдромом. На этом всё. Кто хочет узнать больше прогуглите интервью с разработчиками. Expand

    What an absolute gaming masterpiece and narrative juggernaut.

    What an absolute gaming masterpiece and narrative juggernaut.

    6 years in the making, the hype surrounding this game is an understatement. How would the developers create a game that’s supposed to be better than their beloved title before it? By taking you through a roller coaster journey of emotions, that is.

    The gameplay is tight all throughout, and every encounter whether it’s against the zombie horde or the plague called humans is absolutely visceral. The tension is palpable in every way, and I think we have the advanced AI programming to thank for the realism offered by this game that only a handful of games can come close to. Each enemy didn’t have its usual programming and their movements are erratic, pushing players to create tactical mistakes and missing their shots more often than your usual third person shooters. The inclusion of dogs didn’t help either, not to mention that the enemy sightlines seem to be infinite most of the time, just like how it is in real life, getting alerted by an unknown watcher whose location you couldn’t pinpoint because listening for noise at that distance is impossible. The addition of verticality by enabling the protagonist to go prone and climb almost all obstacles gave it another level of complexity that enhances the palpability of the game’s encounters and level design.

    The graphics and sound design are absolutely stunning, breathing life into every object and environment, more than any game before it in the PS4. Virtual rain that feels heavy as you stalk through the ruins of a city, the piercing shriek of a far off undead filling you with dread and anticipation, the gurgling of blood from an enemy whose throat I just slit, the small notes on every whiteboard, all the blood stains and scratches on the walls, every crack and crevice, the bantering and background chatter, the ethnic details and emotion on each and every person’s face… all of these are minute but important details that bring the player into the ruined world of the game’s protagonists that I’m more than glad to participate in. I can’t state enough how stunningly beautiful this game is in every possible way.

    So given these praises, why is it being review-bombed by people in Metacritic and other critic sites?

    It’s because of the story. The story is polarizing to a lot of players, and I can see why. But damn, they are missing out. Don’t ever trust these user critics’ aggregated scores. In my opinion, they are babies who continue to be anchored to their expectations based on the previous game that causes their appreciation for the narrative direction of the sequel to sink. The release of the leaks didn't help either on how the story was meant for its intended audience, since there was no context as to why or how things are. So, I'll just say it: the leaks are, unfortunately, partly true, but it isn't the whole story and the leaks are a disservice to the experience of the player. If you've read the leaks, believe me when I say, open your mind and give this a shot. It's an experience worth your time and money.

    TL;DR: Play the game. The story is AMAZING. A narrative force of nature that touches on love lost, the price of vengeance, and moral worth. Absolutely amazing. Couple that with the most breathtaking visuals, heart piercing sound design, challenging and extremely tight gameplay, and you’ve got yourself an absolute masterpiece. What a way for the PS4 to go.

    Let me preface this with the fact I have never written a game review before, but I feel like with all the extremes of opinions people are taking with this game it deserved as many legitimate opinions as possible.

    Let me preface this with the fact I have never written a game review before, but I feel like with all the extremes of opinions people are taking with this game it deserved as many legitimate opinions as possible.

    SPOILER FREE

    Graphics and engine - 5/5
    The visual aspect of this game is a triumph. It really is beautiful to look at. The environments built in this game take the core feel of the original and improve on it in every way. I don’t think the PS4 is capable of producing anything that sustains this level of detail and beauty through gameplay and the “cutscenes”. I say “Cutscenes” because more akin to God of War these feel like an extension of the gameplay rather than the originals hard cuts to animated filmThe way objects interact is also a feat, with ropes of particular note.

    TLDR: The game is beautiful, and probably the most beautiful the PS4 is capable of.

    Gameplay - 4.5/5
    The gameplay is the same as the first game with a few fleshed out aspects. There are more stealth options than there was, and they allow for a bit more variety on how to deal with situations. The gunplay is solid, an iterative improvement over the original game, but enough polish to make it fresh-ish. Most aspects of gameplay were used sparingly so didn’t get repetitive. I did feel like the gunplay sections were a little on the long side and over the course of my 25-hour playthrough it did get repetitive. Personally, id have like them a little shorter between cutscene sections and set pieces, but I’m sure some people would them complain it was just an interactive movie. Can’t win!

    TLDR: Much the same as game one, with added polish and mechanics. Sometimes repetitive due to game runtime.

    Story - 4.5/5
    Ah, the story. The big divide. The controversy, the hatred.

    Me? I loved it. Don’t get me wrong, there are a couple of places I rolled my eyes, and things that happen that I wish didn’t, but life isn’t roses. The events cause me to have a profound emotional response, and to me, that’s the sign of a quality story, even if it wasn’t quite how I wished it would play out. The leaks were thorough, and accurate, but in so many 1 star reviews I don’t see any mention of the story aspects which aren’t mentioned in the leaks, which in my mind are some of the key parts that gel the story together. I get peoples frustration, and if you’ve actually played and still don’t like it then fair play absolutely. I get it, but so many people might see these negative reviews and not even give the game a chance, and that’s a shame. I think the direction they took for the second half of the game (where a lot of the hatred applies) was excellently pulled off. The game makes you more aware of the repercussions of actions and while its very blunt and on the nose, I think this is a good anecdote for real life. Whether that’s what you want in your video game or not is purely personal preference.

    TLDR: Some people hate it, I loved it. Its emotional, it’s a rollercoaster, and its (in my opinion) very well written even if its not what everybody wanted.

    Conclusion
    I think the bombardment of 1 star reviews is unfair. It’s not for everyone and people are upset, but this game is a work of art. I hope that in time, when the world is a little less broken, and people are a little less toxic, more people will actually give this game a go and experience the story as it was designed to be experienced, not from some leaks.

    I personally loved the game. If you’re on the fence, give it a go, or wait till the inevitable price drops then have a go. It has its flaws, and it’s a very love it or hate it story it seems, so find out for yourself.

    Finally, if you are one of the people who hate it, refuse to play it, and reply to every tweet from Neil Druckmann or anyone else involved with the game or any tweet mentioning the game with absolute toxic hate. Go do the world a favour and grow up. You might be old enough to play the game physically, but I’m damn sure you’re not old enough mentally.

    I’ve read some of the bad reviews, and I have no idea what people are talking about. Most of them seem to just be going with the herd of trolls who set out to destroy the game’s ratings. This game is astonishingly good. You owe it to yourself to try this game for yourself. It’s every bit as amazing as the first one, and even better in my opinion.

    Another brilliant story driven game from Naughty Dog. Every part of the game are absolutelyexceptional, the lighting, sound, level design, soundtrack, characters and narrative are all leaps and bounds ahead of any current game. The attention to detail is absolutely mind blowing! A must have if you're a Playstation 4 owner.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Если честно, игра мне понравилась. Она с лихвой перекрыла всю эту повесточку которая была преподнесена в виде SJW и ЛГБТ. Сюжет мне так же понравился. Не особо понимаю почему его так люто поливают грязью. В основе заложена идея мести. И она абсолютно повсюду. У главных героев, второстепенных персонажей. Даже в записках можно проследить эту тему. И конец игры как раз показывает одну простую вещь - сможет ли человек живший долгое время этим чувством изменить свой выбор. Ибо месть крайне скользская дорожка как ни крути.
    Так же хотел бы добавить следующее. Несмотря на всю нелепость Ебби как персонажа я все же останусь на ее стороне. Ибо она за весь свой путь потеряла куда больше чем Элли. Отца и друзей. Весь мир по сути рухнул. А Элли потеряла только Джоэла. Тем более, Ебби ее дважды пощадила. А это говорит о том что она не такая уж и плохая. Думаю, окажись другой человек на ее месте, он бы без каких-либо раздумий убил бы Дину вспомнив что сделала Элли а потом и саму Элли так же добил. Ну и в конце она не хотела драться с Элли так как это было уже обыкновенное бессмысленное насилие. Она ее простила за все то что она сотворила. Думаю, если Элли не была бы ранена то она без каких-либо зазрений совести убила Ебби несмотря на то что там был пацан присмерти.
    Да и под конец самой игры Элли уже начала бесить своими излишними эмоциональными всплесками и непонятным юношеским максимализмом.
    Снимаю игре 2 балла за плохую интеграцию сексуальных меньшинств которые так и бьют своей нелепостью по лицу. Кроме этого, разочаровал ИИ который был очень туп в большинстве моментов. Можно было перед носом врагов проходить в наглую и они тебя не замечали.

    I played days nonstop 25~ hours and formed an opinion on this game without spoilers. And PC players who are not able to criticize and of course THINK how much time and people have been spent on this project. English is not my native language, so I can say something incorrectly.
    1. Story continues the first part and is very connected with it. Ellie is now a girl and she has a new partner, Dina.
    She is now not a kind girl, ready to help everyone. She became tougher and more careful (reminiscent of Joel from the first part). In general, she has matured and she quickly changes in the course of the plot and this "development" affects the end of the game.
    Dina is not a terrible character. She has her own character, motives. It seems there are no problems, but she does not reach the previous partner Ellie.
    There will be familiar characters, and many new ones that I did not like at all, but these are spoilers.
    I won’t talk much about the plot, the only thing I will say. He has many flaws and some things are incomprehensible to me, but he continued the story and the ending made me think about some things for a long time
    2. Gameplay is as excellent as in the previous part. Shooting is even more awesome, and sounds .. I recommend everyone to play with headphones, which would plunge even more into this atmosphere
    The animations are beautiful. The smallest details in the spirit of Red Dead Redemption 2. That's all I really liked and I'm very pleased with the gameplay.
    3.I live in a country in which same-sex relationships are prohibited and people are greatly humiliated for that. But I am not against it. Anita Sargsyan helped Neil Drakman, which makes me unhappy. But what is harmless here.
    The game gave me almost always positive emotions. So despite the unfair assessment of both users and critics, I put 8 points

You will experience an emotional journey and get to know what happens when you see nothing but rage and you want revenge no matter the cost or the consequences .

    I dont agree with people saying they ruined this or that character. Nothing was ruined. These are the characters we love and know from the first game, but this game shows you the cold hard reality of a post apocalyptic world without sugarcoating everything. There are no winners or heroes in this world. Its not a fairly tale and never was. It answers important questions of human nature and behavior.

    The graphics are out of this world, i played it in 4K HDR and its almost CG level good. The animations are mind blowing. The combat is visceral and ruthless.

    Regardless what you think about the story. This is the best game Naughty Dog ever made and there are NO better games currently on the market regarding the exclusives.

    It sparks debates and it should be, because forgettable art is not art. Even the haters and trolls talking about it. Even they are wrestling with their emotions and thinking about it constantly. You have to examine this game. Think about it. There are two sides of everything.

    When you meet with a stranger he or she has a life too like yours. Its just from a different perspective you wont see everyday, but here we seen everything and we have the chance to process it with all the knowledge. The knowledge of both sides. The coin.

    You have to logically think trought that what was justified in the charaters actions. Where is the line? Is it worth it?

    Am i lost control? taking one more life will satisfy my quest for revenge?

    You know the common theme when we talking about revenge is not knowing when to stop. An eye for an eye, but its not enough because you want to see the other one suffer so you take more and more people from their sides and in the meantime you risk the life of your people on your side.

    Revenge has consequences. Taking a life has consequences and these consequences will bite you in the ass in this kind of world because there are no laws no society no rules.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's my take. For reference, the first game is easily my favorite game of all time and my favorite story ever told. I do not understand all the negativity that surrounds this game. I hear people complain about how the characters that we grew to love are treated, and you know what? First off it's a post apocalyptic world, people die, get over it. Also, at first I was a little mad about Joel's death, but as the game unfolded it made sense. Everyone **** about Abby, and at first I didn't like the idea of playing as her, but she also has a side to the story, and she is not the monster that everyone puts her out to be. Her side shows she has heart and care for others. Those others just happen not to be the characters we love from the first game. What this game really shows is that Ellie is no more evil than Abby is, and Joel was no more evil than Abby is too. I think Tess said it best in the first game. "We're **** people Joel, it's been that way for a long time."

    NOBODY in this world is a saint. Ellie and Joel are just as bad people as all of the WLF and Abby. This shows you that the world is dark, and it's meant to be. Once I warmed up to Abby as a character, I really did not mind her place in the story, and I think her motivation for killing Joel is well warranted. Did I want it to happen as a fan of the series? No. But I feel it was necessary to make a sequel worth anything. If you're a hater, take a second look. Put yourself into the shoes of every character, especially the ones you take control of. It's not a bad game. Matter of fact, it's fantastic. Cheesy moments from time to time, but not enough for me to go review bomb this game like everyone else is doing. Enjoy it, and realize at the end of the day, it's just a video game. Don't take it too seriously, and don't let it upset you like it has so many people.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Otra obra maestra de ND

    El juego es duro y con esto no me refiere sólo a su gameplay que de por si es muy intenso. Exige demasiado del jugador hay partes donde no quieres seguir jugando, odias tanto como Elie lo hace pero sí le das la oportunidad, lo escuchas y llegas hasta el final habrá valido la pena.

    En cuanto al apartado técnico el juego es una maravilla, excelente música por supuesto no se puede pedir menos de Santaolalla, los efectos de sonido, las animaciones, los gráficos, los escenarios, las actuaciones (recomiendo jugarlo en inglés) el gameplay son perfectos en todos los aspectos un juego bien pulido en el cual todas las piezas se unen para tratar de conectar con el jugador y transmitir su mensaje, depende de tus sentimientos y tu disposición a comprender al otro sí el mensaje funciona o no.

    Sección con spoilers:
    Si bien, se nos vendió un juego que trata de la venganza y el odio y estos temas si son de suma relevancia para la historia son solamente la mitad de ella (literalmente) los verdaderos temas de los que habla el juego son la empatia y el perdón.

    Entiendo a la perfección la controversia por la muerte de Joel y el jugar como su asesino Abby cuando lo ves en el juego te da asco y quieres dejar de jugar pero hay que admitirlo por más que amemos a Joel y habríamos hecho lo mismo que el, sus acciones tienen consecuencias. Entiendo que la gente quiera ver una aventura de Joel y Elie siendo felices y aunque en cierto punto si la obtenemos debemos de ser conscientes que en el mundo de the last of us las cosas no son tan sencillas.

    Sí en el primer juego experimentamos la formación de la relación de Joel y Elie principalmente desde el punto de vista de Joel, en este presenciaremos las consecuencias en su relación desde aquel día en el hospital a partir del punto de vista de Elie. Aunque en un punto pareciese que la historia no trata de la relación entre estos dos personajes créeme que al final es lo que más importa y los personajes secundarios al igual que en la anterior entrega están ahí para contrastar y analizar esta misma relación desde distintas perspectivas.

    He escuchado a muchos decir que el final es deprimente y no tiene sentido, cuando a mi punto de vista no podría ser más equivocado este enfoque. El final es la aceptación de todo lo que pasó el dejar ir los resentimientos y odio para continuar adelante con un recordatorio permanente de la relación de Joel y Elie y lo que ella perdió al enfocarse plenamente en como murió Joel en lugar de como le enseñó a amar y a seguir luchando por ello. Sí estas dispuesto a jugar este juego no cometas el mismo error, sigue adelante y no permitas que el odio te ciegue deja que los demás te cuenten sus historias y trata de comprenderlos. Al final no importa si te caen bien o mal los personajes mientras puedas aceptar.

    Definitivamente una obra sublime, madura y valiente, no cualquiera hace un videojuego con una historia lineal y enfocada en su narrativa cuando se sabe que muchos jugadores nunca jugaran hasta el final, mucho menos se mata a un personaje principal tan cruelmente, no se incita en un momento al jugador a sentir tanto odio, rencor y asco como para dejar a un lado el control, ni se pregunta si los jugadores estarán dispuestos a ser cuestionados por sus acciones y sentimientos cuando se cambia la perspectiva hacia los supuestos villanos.
    Es un suicidio y como se ve en el score de los usuarios en esta plataforma muchos jugadores no están dispuestos a escuchar al otro. En definitiva una obra necesaria para estos tiempos.

    Puntos negativos: Lo único que a mi parecer se sintió forzado, raro o creo que no añadió mucho a la trama fueron; las acciones de Tommy que a mi parecer fueron erráticas a lo largo de toda la historia y solo se sintió como un plot device, no estoy segura si hubiera sido mejor presentar la perspectiva de Abby desde antes de matar a Joel, antes o intercalada con la narrativa de Elie pero cuando menos al final funcionó lo suficiente conmigo como para verla a ella y todos sus amigos como humanos, la escena de sexo entre Abby y Owen no añadió nada y la encuentro incomoda, pudo haberse cortado con el beso y ya se daba a entender, de verdad no sé por que la añadieron parece que querían ver si se quejaban más del beso lesbico que de eso o tal vez se preparaban para HBO.
    De ahí en fuera todo añade a la trama aún las partes que no me gustan y su extensión.

    Una obra cruda y ruda pero al mismo tiempo humana e inspiradora, recordándonos que todos somos humanos. Ame este juego tanto como la primera entrega y sé que al final todo valió la pena.

Though I must admit I wish Joel had much more of a heroic death, if it had to happen, and it wasn’t so near the beginning of the game. Initially I despised Abby for her actions and was even extremely annoyed that the player was forced to play as Abby for a very long portion of the game but towards the end I understood her actions and it was almost hard to paint her as a villain. I even held back at the end fight scene between Ellie and Abby because I didn’t want her to die! I can’t believe you made me grow to ALMOST like the woman that killed my Joel. Well played Naughty Dog, well played. I truly think you should go into this game uninfluenced by any posts you may have seen written about this game. I believe it is a masterpiece. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Haven’t played a game before that allows you to play as both “sides”, normally you just play and don’t ask questions about who or what your killing but turning it over and making you be companions to the people you have killed as the other person really makes you think about both sides. Didn’t really need the graphic sex scene but other than that was a great game! 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]
