El juego es bueno en varios aspectos, la historia tiene huecos que al principio son pequeños pero después te das cuentas que si le pudieron dar un empujón al juego, la muerte de el protagonista del anterior juego pudieron haberla hecho mas elaborada, también me parece algo sumamente tonto que Abby se encontrara con Joel de pura casualidad y que Joel no desconfiara, también entiendo que no tenia otra opción el y Tommy, pero pudieron haberlo hecho más interesante. El gameplay esta muy bien hecho, los combates tienes que hacerlos mas estratégicos en dificultades altas, guardar recursos, explorar lo mas posible y hacer uso del sigilo. Si la historia no hubiera tenido esos huecos pudo haber sido el mejor juego. El juego me recordó mucho a Metal Gear Solid 2, como si Abby fuera Raiden. Personalmente quiero que haya un DLC donde Ellie mate a Abby, al estilo de God of War como con poseidon xd. -navimh… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have some pretty mixed emotions about the whole story for this game. However, I think it’s important to note that this was a great story, despite people who want to trash talk them killing Joel. What did we really expect? Ellie and Joel would live happily ever after? Since the beginning of the outbreak, Joel had been racking up a list of people that would want him dead, and eventually it would make sense to catch up with him. However there was some missing pieces that I wish we would’ve gotten. I.e. doesn’t Ellie feel guilty because she was inadvertently the reason Joel dies? Prior to finding Owen & Mel, does Abby have some regrets of killing Joel? It’s lightly touched and hinted that the reason she goes back for Yara & Lev was to atone for sins in a way, but it could’ve been touched on more. As always, the graphics were beautiful, the voice acting and music was perfect, and the gameplay was mostly great. The biggest complaint being it got to a point where it felt like you were drudging along. That you just needed to get to the next scene, to the next piece of the story. The never-ending barrage of running all over God’s green Earth began to get agitating. I even felt like I appreciated the game more after beginning Abby’s section, which added some depth other than the jacked **** with the braid who rocked Joel’s world. Overall I think the game is great, however, I think Naughty Dog has some fixing to do if there is to be a third. Perhaps Abby reuniting with the FireFlies and Ellie eventually being able to give a cure with the help of Abby. It has a lot of potential from here to finish the series on a bittersweet note.

    TL;DR: the game is not for the faint of heart. It is definitely a set up for a softer sequel similar to the first game. If you are easily offended by plot lines that aren’t generic, run the other way. But if you’re open to it, there’s a lot to be said, and a lot of places to go from here.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is one of the most beautiful and well crafted games I’ve ever played, it took me a good few days to complete, mainly due to being side tracked soaking in all the beautiful surroundings and side notes that are hidden away.

    This game has been getting a bad reputation because of a certain character and “poor writing” This game does not have any bad writing in it, everything in this game is perfectly placed and well presented if you have the patience to find it.

    After playing the game I felt a great deal of emotion and was left with some burning questions, something that is a hard task for game developers today due to lack of originality.

    The character of Abby is an amazing addition to the world of the last of us, because she teaches us a lot, she teaches us how we mindlessly kill in games and never face the consequence of the actions. Joel faces these consequences, something we never expected because it never happens.

    Abby is a perfect mirror to Ellie, they both set out on a quest of vengeance to avenge their father figures, they both have pregnant companions, Ellie has time in a museum where as Abby has time in an aquarium. Ellie’s love of space and Abby fear of heights.
    It is all so well thought out and planned and I beg that people ignore the hate and play this game with an open mind, for you experience alone.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I played TLOU part one, I kept thinking, what a tragedy that even when the world ends, we still find reasons to kill one another. During part two I kept thinking how pointless revenge is, that it destroys you as much as it does them.

    In both games, a person's inability to let go has devastating consequences - Joel dooms the world because he can't bear to lose another 'baby girl'. Ellie burns everything good remaining in her life to avenge the traumatic death of Joel.

    A lot of people have left bad reviews here because they rejected that death - and this is exactly the point of it. We can reject that death, we can demand a rewrite of a story. But Ellie can't. Because for her, this story is real life, and you can't rewrite life when it doesn't suit you. Thus, we feel her trauma deeply ourselves - how dare they make this happen to olur beloved Joel?

    But does that mean the story is bad? No, I don;t think so, on the contrary.

    First of all, let's face it, of COURSE Joels actions at the end of part one would have consequences, who really doubted this? I so dearly wished Joel had survived, but I can't deny the simple truth: he had it coming.

    TLOU2 drives this home in a masterful way, by switching perspective to the bad guys halfway through. Seen from the perspective of Abby, Joel is the bad guy. We learn that Abby has been affected by the death of her father in much the same way Ellie was by Joel's. We learn that even Abby's friends were shocked by how she killed Joel; and as we see Ellie's actions from the other side, we get the uncomfortable feeling that maybe Ellie is the bad guy here. Once she did to Nora what she did, she basically became Abby. And if we can empathize with Ellie at that point, we should be able to empathize with Abby too.

    Ellie as the bad guy. That is a hard pill to swallow, and a lot of the bad reviews reflect this. But again, that was the point - Ellie lost her way. And even though at the last moment she spared Abby, pulled back from the brink, and saved her soul, it is a pyrrhic victory, because she lost everything else.

    I don't think the bad reviews here are being fair to TLOU2. For me, the story worked. I was dismayed by what happened, but I compeltely accepted it. And I did empathize with Abby. The ending of TLOU1 was ambiguous; here the entire story is. Who is the good guy here? Who is the bad guy?

    Don't let the bad reviews discourage you - this game is a masterpiece.    … Expand

Alchile es un juego súper cabron y me di el tiempecito de terminarlo y sin duda volveré a pasármelo esta semana con más calma, mi puntuación a este game fue un 10/10 sin duda excepto lo de cortarle los dos deditos a ellie no estuvo chingon:( jajaja pero fue mordida por mordida xd

    Yo no quise dar mi reseña en Metacritic ni en ningún lado hasta terminarlo, tampoco vi spoilers ni el juego en otro lado para ir a dar mi crítica toda inútil sobre lo “políticamente correcta que era la historia del juego” JAJA ni tampoco de la sexualidad de distintos personajes

    Para empezar No hay enemigo en este juego, Abby no es villana y se darán cuenta en las 3 horas que la debes usar, solo es una sobreviviente más como lo era Joel y Ellie, llegó un momento en que llegue a encariñarme con Abby por todo lo que hizo, ella solo vengo a su papá y pues Ellie se vengaba de su compañero de vida, fue algo muy cruel ver a Ellie quedarse sola y ver a Abby derrotada y delgada xd, esta lleno de sentimientos y decisiones chingonas, sin duda es un juego que te llena de emociones y te hace entender que no siempre vas a terminar con un final feliz, espero sin duda que haya tercera parte para saber cómo estás dos avanzan y aquí les recalcaré algunas cosas que son mentira
    -Abby no es Trans solo hacía demasiado ejercicio y es una chica fuera de lo normal a lo que se supone que la sociedad dice como se debe ver una mujer, sin embargo su compañera Lev si es mujer y se siente hombre (nose como se les llama a la sexualidad estas personas)
    -El director si se integró en el juego pero jamás tuvo relaciones con ningún personaje y tampoco se puso como el más inteligente al contrario en el juego esta muerte xd, aunque así lo fuera no tiene nada de raro jajaj

    Es un buen juego pero muchos seguidores de él y grupos tanto amigos míos nos hemos percatado de que ya los milenials de hoy de esta época son muy llorones y no aguantan muchas cosas y todo les cala como la homofóbia, que tomen contenido gubernamental o cosas así, como el juego dio lo que se prometió pero sinceramente si no lo has jugado no des tú critica jaja, acepto que a muchos no les gusto pero la historia trata de sobrevivientes, es algo que muchos hubiéramos hecho si estuviéramos en el lugar de cualquiera de las dos, sin más que decir, juéguenlo, se lleva mínimo este año como un buen juego de supervivencia, excelente trabajo por Neil D. Y Naughty Dog ❤️    … Expand

I found the story to be deeply powerful, and while it may look like the majority of people don't like it I guarantee you that they're just a very vocal minority. As I get older I've been finding it much harder to get really into a game, but this one had me right from the start. The visuals are incredible, the game play is engaging and intense, sounds design is best in class, and while some may find the story and its ending to be upsetting I found it to be very natural and realistic. I mean who actually thinks you can have a happy ending in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, especially after all the traumatic experiences these characters have gone through? Anything else would have felt forced and out of place. Go out and get this game!!… Expand

Natürlich ist es tragisch und auch traurig das ausgerechnet Joel so früh sterben musste und dann auch noch so grausam, aber wäre ein anderer Charakter an seiner Stelle gewesen hätte es nicht so eine Auswirkung gehabt. Man fühlt mit jedem Schritt den man in der Story macht das Bedürfnis für Gerechtigkeit um Joels Tod zu Rächen. Als man dann Abbys Seite kennen lernt staute sich noch mehr Wut an, da man jetzt ausgerechnet mit der Mörderin von Joel spielen musste. Der Story Abschnitt mit ihr zog sich und ich war echt erleichtert als es zu Ende war. ich habe diese Erfahrung ich möchte da nicht mal Spiel zu sagen nun durch und hab so auch meine Meinung gebildet. Wie schon gesagt ich finde Naughty Dog hat dort ein Meisterwerk hingelegt es zeigt einem das Gewalt nur Gegengewalt erzeugt und das Rache auszuüben nichts bringt außer noch mehr leid. Deshalb fand ich auch das Ende sehr gut gelungen da endlich die Einsicht von beiden Charakteren kam. Das Speil spielt so sehr mit den Gefühlen ich hab geweint und gezittert vor Wut es war einfach grandios und ich würde mir gerne mehr davon wünschen.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is a fantastic game, and one that I plan to play again. Having played The Last of Us only days before playing this, I can confidently say that TLOU2 has much better gameplay, both in terms of the crafting and combat experiences. The game felt unrelenting and stressful as well as capturing the atmosphere of being in an apocalypse very well. Progression of enemies from the first game was also very nice, with more enemies both in the living and undead. One unique boss fight in particular stood out to me as being particularly challenging and scary.
    The game ran well on my gen 1 PS4, with the optimization being better than with games like BFV or COD MW. As expected, the graphics of the game are beautiful, allowing for a fairly accurate representation of Seattle to be portrayed.

    Ellie and Joel:
    The story of this game is very different from the first installment in this series. While the first game was about Joel becoming a father figure to Ellie, the second takes a completely different direction. I went into the game without expectations for the story. I think it struck the correct cords with me when I was playing it. The twists were unexpected but necessary in my opinion. We already got a game about Joel, and this game is about Joel as well, but the memory and shadow of what he did in the last game. His death gave the story meaning. The character which kills him, a woman by the name of Abby, is one that you hate at first, but then come to appreciate and side with in the end.
    What people need to recognize is that what Joel did at the end of the first game was not the right thing to do. He ended the chance for a vaccine to save the human species, and he killed the people necessary to revive such an effort. His actions were selfish, all though understandable. His fate is one that isn't entirely undeserved.
    The ending of the game leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. There is no Hollywood ending, no happiness at the end, only pain and suffering, all brought upon Ellie by herself. She had it all, a loving wife, a kid, a farm, and she chose to give it up to chase a chance at revenge. She received closure, but at the cost of her entire life.
    Abby and the WLF:
    Abby's story and gameplay are markedly different than Ellie's. Her gameplay is much more combat-focused, with an emphasis on going balls to the wall gun-running and loud approaches. I think that this shift in gameplay helps with the pacing of her section because her story is lacking. Her motivations for a large part of the story are weak, and the side characters in her story are rather cookie cutter. However, that being said her story gives context to the greater Seattle story, and to the war that is brewing between the WLF and the Seraphites.
    The "Agenda"
    Apparently, many people seem to be under the impression that there is an agenda to TLOU 2. Ellie is gay, which we already knew thanks to Left Behind, and has a bisexual girlfriend who eventually becomes her wife. Her sexuality and love story is as in your face as any other, and really I could care less about it. Had it been a man she was with it would have been a similar story, albeit with some changes to character motivation.
    What I'm surprised people aren't talking about is the side character Lev in Abby's portion of the story. In-game, you learn that the former Seraphite was a young girl who changed their name and shaved their head. Seraphite enemies call the child Lily or "the apostate", and regard them as an enemy of the cult. This really didn't get in the way too much, however, it was a plot point and motivator for Lev's side of the story. That being said, it didn't really bother me or get in the way of the story at all.

    The story, while strong for a video game such as this, was definitely a 9/10 for me, and didn't come close to the 10/10 that TLOU 1 was for me. The different vibe and emotions felt were a good change of pace from the last and offered a different experience from TLOU1. I give this game a 9/10. Unrelenting and tough, this game is an experience that I would recommend.    … Expand

This game is amazing, don’t listen to the hate. Unfortunately if you’ve seen the leaks and formed an opinion already, you will be too far gone. I loved this game. The gameplay is bigger, longer and uncut compared to the first game. The environments are huge- a lot more to explore, read all the journal entries and notes left in this beautifully detailed world to better understand characters motivations and story arcs. If you’ve played the first game there’s not much difference gameplay wise, just bigger environments and new enemy types. The environments do change the combat and stealth as there are so many more areas to hide and climb higher to get the advantage on these large groups. The sound is phenomenal, my house rattled from the intense scenes to the eerie clicks of the infected. Voice acting is second to none with naughty dogs motion capture enhancing every scene.

    Story is unforgivingly savage in its decisions- whilst it can make you angry, you are supposed to feel that way. The only problem I have is the pacing between story and gameplay compared to the first game. There was enough gameplay between the story cut scenes in the first game to keep you completely invested the whole way through. Whilst I was invested in part 2, the areas are much larger now with enemies spread throughout which can really slow the motivation before the next story segment. Not to say there isn’t anything interesting in these long areas- the characters are constantly talking to each other and giving backstory as you explore. As much as the pacing was a slug sometimes- I still loved it, as there was so much to do and see that I was impressed in how much effort and love was put in this game. If you’ve managed to stay away from the spoilers and you’re trying to form an opinion on this game. Buy it and try it for yourself, you will find this game is amazing if you soak it in and take your time playing every inch of it. If you’ve seen the spoilers and jumped on the butthurt wagon....you’ve missed out on an amazing game and you have no one to blame but yourself.

    Though the pacing was off I still enjoyed every second of it- it’s just not as tight as the first game. Definitely worth every penny and I applaud naughty dog for taking risks where most Game companies play it safe. I feel for everyone involved in making this game that have had people bomb the reviews over story choices.

It's a refreshing title between dozens of AAA games that are always the same where they play it safe with the same generic characters and plot over and over, here they took bold and unpopular decisions, that made me feel conflicted, but in the end, I understood why they did it and I'm glad they did it this way because all the choices of the characters make them human and realistic. It's an unfair and cruel story, but we're playing in a post-apocalyptic world, so if it was done in a different way it wouldn't be as good as it is now. I'll be playing many more times for sure.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us was a masterpiece. Part II is just the game that I didn't like at first. Here's why: as a huge fan of Joel and Ellie I couldn't play as Abby, or even fight Ellie. She is a good character, but I think it was not enough to just show that zebra scene. Show us how she loved her father. 10-15 hours playing her line was an absolute nightmare. And that fight... Every time she punched Ellie I was like "ND please don't do it. Don't do it with me". At first, the ending was disappointed, but after replaying it I understood everything ND was trying to show. This is not a bad game. This is just the game people don't like. It's depressing, sad, but it's good. I just love Ellie so much that I can't imagine her being only by herself. It's sooo depressing for me.

    P.S. remember when Sam asked Ellie what were she scared of at part 1? "Being by myself...I'm afraid of ending up alone". Think about the ending of part 2 after that.

    For all those who played it and gave 2/10 or smt - give it a chance. Rethink about the whole game and things ND was trying to show.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The biggest theme in TLOUII isn’t revenge. It’s not hatred. It’s not loss, or grief, or anger, or any of things it looks to be at first glance. These things still obviously play a huge part in the story; they contribute to the characters’ actions and decisions, and they’re the things that drive the narrative. But they’re not the most important themes for the player.

    The most important theme in this game, that I have seen no other game explore in this detail, is perspective. And players who are open-minded and don’t allow themselves to be blinded by their own outlook, will appreciate the game for what it is.

    Without perspective, the game is over 2 hours in. You know from the point of Joel’s death where the rest of the story is going, and you know how it ends. You’ll guide Ellie through her revenge mission, and you’ll make Abby pay. Because it’s a video game and that’s how video games work. But TLOUII isn’t any other video game.

    You’re proven wrong, time and time again, thinking you’re reaching the end, only to first be given the unexpected second half of the game to play, and then another additional 2 hours on top of that the second time it appears to be coming to a close.

    That middle point, where the perspective changes and we start to see things through Abby’s eyes, is uncomfortable. As a player, it was easy to recognise Naughty Dog’s intentions to paint the “villain” in a different light. The goal was to have us eventually empathise with a character who, not 2 hours into the game, had killed a protagonist that we’ve known and loved for seven years. And as a player, I was sceptical it was going to work.

    As I did indeed grow to care for Abby, I felt a conflict within myself as I wrestled with what it meant. What did it mean that I was starting to like a character who had done such a horrific thing? It meant that Naughty Dog had accomplished what I can assume was what they intended to do: force me, as a player, to recognise how important perspective is and understand things from both sides.

    Was Abby killing Joel any more horrific that Joel killing Jerry? And not to mention, Jerry was killed in the process of Joel committing arguably the most horrific action of The Last Of Us’ story: depriving humanity of a cure. And I like Joel just fine.

    To Abby, Joel was the “bad guy” and her reasoning for believing so is the exact same reasoning that Ellie’s perspective brands Abby the “bad guy”. Neither character is “right” while the other is “wrong” and Naughty Dog did an absolutely phenomenal job of blurring that line, leading to my use of quotation marks; who’s “good” and who’s “bad” all depends on perspective.

    It was a risky move to place the player in control of someone they’re conditioned to hate from the near outset, and to expect them to come to understand her reasoning and empathise with her, and I can assume that this is the main reason a lot of players have found issue in the game, because for them it didn’t work. But for me personally, it was a powerful experience and I knew that the conflict I felt within myself as Abby grew to become my favourite character in the whole game, was intentional on Naughty Dog’s end.

    As far as the ending goes, I’ve seen a lot of people claim that the whole game was “for nothing”, but I think that these are the players who refused to budge on their own perspectives. They’d branded Abby the “villain” from the start and so she was supposed to die. They didn’t get their closure. But Ellie did. Abby did.

    That last flashback we get that covers Ellie and Joel’s last conversation is what prompts Ellie to let Abby go. Joel tells her that given the chance to deny humanity a cure again, he’d make the same choice. Ellie remarks that in her sacrifice, her life would’ve had meaning, and that she can’t ever forgive Joel for taking that from her. But that she’d like to try. This opportunity, to grow and find it within herself to forgive Joel, was taken from her when Abby took his life. But if Ellie wants to find it in herself to forgive Joel for doing arguably the worst thing a human being could’ve possibly done, maybe she can find it in herself to forgive the woman who killed him.

    In Ellie’s eyes, Joel’s death is given meaning in her decision to be better than him. Joel may make the same decision over and over given the chance, depriving Ellie the opportunity to have her life harbour meaning, but Ellie won’t. She has one chance, and she won’t make the same choice he did. She won’t remove the meaning from Joel’s death, the way Joel removed the meaning from her life.

    The whole sequence, the fight, the flashback, and Ellie’s decision to let Abby go was another phenomenal choice that Naughty Dog made in subverting expectations. We’ve all played video games before and we know how they go. but, like I said, TLOUII isn’t any other video game.    … Expand

Dentro de mi experiencia en esta entrega, puedo decir que el guión es alucinante, el gameplay es increible pero tiene detalles por mejorar, la clave en esto es la forma en la que tomas el juego y su historia. Una historia de venganza, perdón, excusas, razones buenas o malas para hacer lo que se tenga qué hacer, se trata de tener empatía con los personajes y caer en cuenta que ninguna de las historias (Ellie y Abby) es buena o mala, ambas llevadas por la venganza y miles de situaciones más, sin embargo, puedo decir que a menos de que este juego no lo tomes como una historia con altos y bajos, una historia llena de emotividad y reflexión, no creo que veas todo lo hermoso que tiene esta historia y el juego. Queda a la interpretación de cada consumidor y considero que se volvió un juego como "o lo amas o lo odias". No es perfecto, pero valió cada maldito año de espera.… Expand

    Le système d'infiltration et de combat est encore mieux et la petite touche de customisation est appréciable. Dommage que la caméra soit trop centrée sur le personnage lors des modifications des armes. Le peu de défauts qu'on pouvait repérer dans le premier opus en termes de jouabilité est corrigé. Quant aux combats de boss, je n'ai jamais été autant partagé sur l'issue des affrontements.

People keep crying about playing with a character who we hate(Abby). How do you expect us to like her? That's exactly the thing, you aren't supposed to like her in the beginning.
    The game shows her in the beginning to be this villain that you are looking for to kill. And when you get to play with her your feelings of hatred towards her change, not to love, but to sympathy. You don't have to like her, but you need to understand that she's not just a villain, she is another human being who was also exacting revenge just as Ellie and that isn't wrong.
    As much as I loved Joel and hated Abby for killing him, she was just doing what Ellie is doing. And that's the game theme, to show you the story from 2 points of view.

It’s mainly a story for hate and revenge, it sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions (hate, sad, happy, sympathy) and it feels like this part of the game hasn’t changed as I felt emotionally connected to all the characters.

    Character progression/weapon mods - it takes the original concepts and builds on them. There are more to your arsenal than you may think. In the first game, I never really used smoke grenades but here I’ve used everything in both Ellie’s and Abby’s arsenal (both characters are playable). I also like the fact their arsenal reflects them as characters, with Abby being more the militant character she gets more solider like abilities, Ellie is a scavenger and her arsenal and abilities reflect this. Level design - each level and encounter has multiple paths to take down enemies silently, this is found a very welcoming change. It built on the last of us where there maybe only one or two paths to take down enemies or the infected silently, here I think I could take 4 maybe 5 but if you alerted someone there was always somewhere to run and hide till the heat dies down. The level design and detail is fantastic you can appreciate the hard work naughty dog have done here. Characters - there are a host of new characters here. Their dialogue is well written, well acted and their individual personalities shine through very early on.

    Conclusion - This game definitely builds on the last, it takes its core and builds on it. The story is fantastic and well written, but DO NOT expect a pretty story and is very dark at times. The whole controversy of LBGTQ stuff never really bothered me at all it’s not thrown in your face. Just because a character is of that sexual orientation doesn’t mean they’ve done it because they’re trying to highlight an issue, it’s just the characters personality. Ellie is more masculine than female and being of her sexual orientation only highlights this. Despite the praise I have given TLOU part 2, there are some little negatives that I’d like to highlight. At time’s the Abby story does drag on a little too long for my liking, this doesn’t however mean I don’t like the character cause I do. I just feel one of the areas we have to get out of just drags a little but the level design it’s self is very well crafted and executed. The only other negative is sometimes the back story of the two characters jumps a little all of the place. They’re well written and a joy to play but sometimes it didn’t quite make sense to have a teenage years scene when it happened. For me it’s a must play, if you can oversee some of the negativity it’s been harshly given and take it for what it is then you’ll massively enjoy it. Don’t think this is a nicey nice games after the events of the first game cause it isn’t.    … Expand

    As most of the critics already said, the graphics and level designs are great. Many different areas, very versatile looks, every shot could be a wallpaper, beautiful details, skin looks very realistic, motion capture is awesome and was also used for in-game situations. Gameplay works as known from the first part, fun puzzles that are not too hard, great fights with zombies and humans, you can almost always choose whether you want to go stealth or all in. All in all very fluent and realistic gaming experience.

    I am actually shocked about the bad reviews the game got in the first days after release regarding the story. Many were disappointed. I am not. For me this is the best ND piece so far.
    Who wants the well-known narrative of two disturbed characters trying to reach a destination together and growing together emotionally, should clearly play Part 1 again. As Part 2 is really different. Zombie apocalypse is no bed of roses. Part 2 is emotionally difficult, the characters are twisted, things are dark and mean. And things are not only emotionally demanding for the characters, but also for gamers. ND is showing once more that they dare to go new ways, also story-wise. They show that events and characters are not only one dimensional, good or evil, black or white. So for me many parts of the game were not easy to emotionally process, but i loved the challenge and was not disappointed in the end.

    !!!!!!
    !!!!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!!!! STOP READING !!!!!!
    !!!!!!

    In the last scenes of Part 1 for me it was already clear, that there would be no funny-and-happy-walking-around-with-lovely-Ellie-and-Joel stuff. A conflict was already established, as Joel lied to Ellie. So I was prepared for going solo with one of them from the start. Joel's violent death was shocking but necessary to pave the road for the story, ND wanted to tell us: a revenge story with a huge twist.

    We are used to one-dimensional stories, that give us guidelines of who to love as a character and who to detest, whose goals are rightful and whose death is fair or unfair. When Joel went in to rescue Ellie out of love at the end of Part 1 we tend to forget that his killings might have consequences as well, that he is not only lovable, that he might take the lives of many people, who are loved and lovable as well.
    And that's what we see in Part 2: Both Ellie and her “antagonist” Abby do very gruesome and inhumane things, both kill and hurt for goals that seem fair to them. The game gives us insights in both sides of the story and makes it possible to see both strong characters as human beings with huge flaws but also great human qualities.
    Don’t get me wrong: at the beginning for me it was really hard to play Abby. I was angry to play the person, that killed Joel. I jumped off many high places with her to see her hurt ;)
    And time after time I opened up for her perspective and her goals. I understood that Joel and Ellie also make up for great antagonists who do detestable stuff.

    All in all I could write a whole book as a review, as there are so many things that came to my mind. But after I think I covered the main issue for the bad reviews just a few last fast thoughts:

    con

    The character of Dina was indeed very flat and didn’t manage to establish an emotional relationship

    I would have liked a few more overlapping events with Abby’s and Ellie’s story lines

    ending came too abruptly, was very sad

    pro

    Love the diversity in the story: gay love, very strong female characters, transgender issues, ethnic variety, criticism of extremist groups that suppress different ideologies

    Lovely building of relationship between Abby and Lev

    Story open for Part 3 :)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bueno, ayer me he terminado el juego que ya es más de lo que muchos de por aquí pueden decir porque al momento de hacer esta review solo el 6% de los jugadores han terminado el juego según los trofeos. El juego es una maravilla y la historia es BUENÍSIMA. Es un juego mucho más oscuro que el original, he visto gente quejándose de que es un juego de venganza en el que al final no hay venganza (Es como si en Kill Bill al final no mataran a Bill), enfadada porque una buena historia sobre la venganza tiene que acabar como John wick matando a todo el mundo y a dormir como un bebé esa noche. Pues la cosa no va así, La venganza destruye completamente a sus protagonistas dejándoles sin nada de lo que querían todo por la pura venganza.

    Algo que me parece un total acierto por parte de ND es que la muerte de Joel sea tan cruda y abrupta, hace que realmente quieras acabar con Abby. Te hace empatizar con Ellie y quieres llevar a cabo su venganza pero a medida que vas avanzando en su arco ves que estás haciendo algo terrible y que no tiene porqué seguir sufriendo así cada enemigo tiene nombre y tu no haces más que matar y destruir partes de tu alma para acabar con alguien como si todo esto te fuese a devolver a Joel. Y lo MEJOR viene cuando empiezas a jugar con Abby y ves que no estás matando a malas personas y te hace sentir un monstruo todo lo que has ido haciendo durante el juego. Viene el arco de Abby un arco de redención en el que salvaremos a unos serafitas que se han visto envueltos en una guerra sin sentido. Ella trata de redimirse haciendo algo bueno por alguien con la esperanza de que sirva de algo (Como hizo Tess en el primer juego ya que ella se sentía como lo peor y quería hacer algo bueno antes de morir). Pero hacer lo correcto en el último momento no sirve de nada y Abby lo paga descubriendo que todos sus amigos han muerto por culpa de su venganza contra Joel. Va a por Ellie y tras el enfrentamiento decide PERDONARLA por SEGUNDA VEZ ya que matarla solo haría que volver a empezar este horror de nuevo. Pero todavía queda Ellie ya que después de todo, de tener a su pareja con su hijo y una casa donde poder empezar a ser feliz decide dejar todo esto atrás para vengarse. Ellie pierde TODO por su venganza, hasta pierde dos dedos y su capacidad de tocar la guitarra, única cosa que le une emocionalmente a Joel y el último plano de ella dejando la guitarra atrás y alejándose es una representación de como a decidido poner fin a ese capítulo terrible de su historia y seguir adelante. Resistir y sobrevivir.

    Yo diría que este juego no está por encima de la obra original pero está al nivel sin ninguna DUDA. Un absoluto y merecidísimo 10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is not what I imagined. It is very very upsetting, it is a shock that they went in this direction. However, it's a bloody zombie apocalypse. No one is safe from anyone. Even though the story broke my heart I still think it is an amazing story, and I wouldn't feel the way I do if it wasnt. I just wish it was concluded in a more rewarding way. The gameplay oh the gameplay. Its amazing, just like the 1st which is what I was hoping for....but miles better.

    The game design and environment art is on point and the best I have ever seen in a game, this will look the dog's on PS5.

    After the first play through I felt drained, sad and still I wanted more.

    Well done Neil and everyone at ND for not making a lovey dovey game and sticking to the genre and building on the main character in this franchisewhich is the world. I am really gutted you guys are having to deal with this horrible backlash.

    I just wanted to add that I think it is amazing how many of you finished the game on the 19th and 20th June, and gave such poor reviews with no mention of how short the story and game was. Joking aside you should get in contact with Anthony Caliber and give him a heads up on some of the routes and tricks you used to to finish the whole game so quickly.

    9/10 from me. I hope there will be a Part 3. Fingers crossed. If not Factions and maybe story DLC and some more trophies to chase?    … 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]
