    满分。
    提前被网上的评论剧透了结局。玩的时候很忐忑,以为是坨屎,通关后体会到是一部艺术性极高的作品。
    就像一部超级大片,宣传成《阿凡达》《流浪地球》,观众看完发现其实是《太空漫游2001》《银翼杀手》,能不引起巨大争议、甚至被说是欺骗观众么。

    Good Graphics and Good Performance is equal to 3 stars. Only 1/4 of the story is 1 more star. The rest of the game is disgusting with poorly written story (3/4), Agendas, and the disgusting way Naughty Dog designed the female characters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wrote this review like 3 times already, but HERE WE GO AGAIN, I loved the amount of detail they put in graphics, the level design is just gorgeous, the music is perfect and memorable, the story is believable, very sad, and touching, BESIDES I gave it a 10/10. There were things I DID NOT LIKED about the ending. It leaves you kinda unsatisfied, This will sound a little dramatic, but they closed the story for this characters, that's right, all of them, I didn't mind they killed Joel, it was good and necessary for the arc they wanted to tell, but ripping off Ellie's fingers, we will never play as Ellie again, I'd love to see spin-offs with other characters but, Ellie is what's left of the face of The last of us, without her, making a part III, would not be as engaging, I get, Abby and Lev are the new main characters, but they can be in a Spin-off, I really don't think they deserve to replace Joel and Ellie. OVERALL IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES I've played, they just finished the main story of TLOU. I don't think it is what people wanted, but I get is what Neil wanted. I don't see a Part III, but maybe a spin-off. Expand

    People may say that we're hating this game just because of the LGBT issue, while it's entirely the opposite: they're expecting us to like it just because it's included. This game is rubbish despite whatever they feel like putting on it. Simple as that.

    This game is not a Disney or Pixar movie. Many people need that formula. TLOU2 doesn't follow the formula that 90% of games follow. We've played that game before, we've watched that movie before... Thousands of times with different character names but the same format. It breaks another common trend as it doesn't try to teach you morals so if you need your games and movies to validateThis game is not a Disney or Pixar movie. Many people need that formula. TLOU2 doesn't follow the formula that 90% of games follow. We've played that game before, we've watched that movie before... Thousands of times with different character names but the same format. It breaks another common trend as it doesn't try to teach you morals so if you need your games and movies to validate your already existing beliefs, you'll be disappointed. You might even be mad about it because it will disturb you. But that's the beauty of it too. Most games mediocre copycat, copy stamped formulas of the same thing over and over again. Why? Because of people that review low like this. People need games to be a certain way that molds around their values and expectations instead of allowing themselves to delve into the mind of the artist. And because of that, we end up with shelves of generic, safe games. TLOU2 is nothing like that.

    They skip boundaries that most games wouldn't dare touch - and the result is leaving the player feeling a sense of loss. This loss is a melting pot of contradictions and ideas. It forces our eyes open to how conflicted the world is and how none of us can see the bigger picture. Just like our real world today. Everyone has ideas and are more concerned with being right than understanding the reality of how things actually are on all sides - so no progress can be made.

    In a way, I'm kind of glad it's divisive because then I won't see hundreds of new games that copy/paste the formula until it becomes beat like a dead horse TLOU2 is delicate, brutal and way ahead of its time. That time may never come though - because people want that copy paste formula that they know and love. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch any Marvel, Disney, Pixar movie and you'll find a predictable path that leads to making lots of money but the film is a rehash of the same thing. TLOU2 has amazing gameplay elements but where I feel it shines greatest is the character study driven storyline. It's a work of art if you can get beyond what you wanted to happen. Plotwise, it's a deep character study that pulls you in a whirlwind in a way that no other game has. Characters are overwhelmed in a post apocalyptic environment. I don't want to give spoilers. I played it all the way through and it isn't until the end of the game that everything comes together so well. You definitely need to get through it all to understand what Naughty Dog did.

    Are people reasonably upset? Sure. Like I said, it's not for everyone. There's games like Animal Crossing and Zelda that are much easier to take in than this one. Naughty Dog did a fantastic job of making your a participant in this apocalyptic world by making choices that make you feel confused and shocked - I find it gripping. But for those that have a darker side, or a need to try something fresh and innovative - you'll find this to be one of the best games recently made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For context, I played this game around a month ago and I didn't even particularly want to play this game this year but with all the negative opinions of this game, I just had to play it.

    Story (Spoiler Free)
    (I'll tell you when I'm about to talk about other aspects of the game)

    The first hour or so with this game is honestly perfect and feels like it is about to set up a perfect sequel to the first game but it soon strays from this path to make a different story, a potentially good story but the writing falls a little flat and character relationships feel like they're ripped out of a soap drama which is tone-deaf to what the plot really should have set out to accomplish.

    Looking at characters from the soap drama perspective it becomes clear that Neil Druckman wanted to subvert expectations in a more realistic and grounded sort of way which can make the story appear to be disingenuous to itself and what has come before often leaving behind great characters but rarely great dialogue between them and very little sense of any meaningful relationship between them.

    But occasionally the game does reach the same heights of the original on a few levels, if you asked me how much of the game reached the heights of the first game I'd say round it to 1/3rd.

    Is the story bad? no. but a lot of the foundations are struggling to hold it up and coming off of the back of The Last of Us 1 and Uncharted 4 it's a little disappointing that the story doesn't hold up.

    It's neither good nor bad.

    Graphically the game is beautiful, there's nothing really to say here, the cinematography is incredible and has its own style.

    The gameplay is top tier, a lot like the first game in that it's not deep but not overly simple, not to say it plays similar to the first but in the Survival Horror genre of gaming no other game tops this in terms of how polished the core mechanics are and I shouldn't have to explain, after all, it is a Naughty Dog Game.

    My Score: 8/10

    (Potential Spoilers)

    Honestly, it's kinda stupid how people take something so ridiculous as having a favorite character and trying their best to ensure that a particular character is the holy grail of the series, I feel like I've played many games where a particular character dies in s similar fashion where people haven't taken it so personally (not to insinuate that anybody should take the death of a particular character personally at all) and I find this whole "THE GAME IS BAD CUZ X, Y, Z CHARACTER DIES" argument immature and honestly dumb, the game has flaws but that isn't one of them, it's evidence of a deeper problem that the story faces and that is kinda mid-tier character writing and conflicting tonality. If you're on the fence wait a year until this game is cheaper or don't rush to play it, play it in your own time and on your own morals.

    The game looks pretty and that's all you'll have to congratulate it for. The story is a mess, zombies are irrelevant, a third into the game you realize they're retconing the first installment, which already was an obvious plagiarism of the movie Children Of Men. This is a game about lesbians and travestites, if twitter collectively had developed a game this would be it. Absolute ****

I guess maybe people like simplistic black and white super-hero vs super-villain kind of story-lines, but common, there's just sooo many of them, just go play Call of Duty or watch Avengers instead, and leave your 0/10 somewhere else.

    Few things I think could be better, the game is a bit dragged out and easily could've been 5 hours shorter. Abby's line is a bit lackluster, few characters and subplots are undeveloped, and to be honest the first game felt better in hour-to-hour aspect. But trust me, it should not stop you from trying it out, it's still brilliant and deserves to be experienced.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been waiting for this game since 2018, when the first gameplay was shown. I literally counted the days until it came out, and when it came out, I immediately went to buy it. What can be distinguished from the advantages: excellent graphics, animation, plot, combat system, duration of the game. What can be distinguished from disadvantages: lies about the plot. From the trailers, it was assumed that Dina would be killed and Ellie would avenge her, and Joel would keep us company for the entire game, but it's exactly the opposite, Yes, Joel is, of course, but he's mostly in the memories. And the gameplay for the second character-Abby is given more time than necessary. Of course, I liked this character, but I expected that most of the time we will play for Ellie, and in the end 50-50. And so the game is very good, shows people from different sides and the main message is that revenge will not lead to anything good, and violence will always go violence. Expand

    Then... in the middle of the game We got to play as the freaking antagonist and I tought this would be a freaking badass momment but we only saw her as a bad character with 0 depth that was shown to be the next best thing besides bread or something. I bought this game because I loved the story in 1 and I don't enjoy the second part at all because the story makes no sense, the characters are different in the skin of the previous characters and honestly... This game doesn't lack replay value, IT LACKS PLAY VALUE. Don't buy it, it's probably worth the same as any bad fanfic TLOU1 had.

I have been trying to write something, but I have been keeping fighting against myself about what I wrote and at the end just deleted most of it.

    Some very good tech stuff in this game. I didn’t think the story was good, but the dialog was awful, at times it was so stupid I started laughing. And frankly, not being able to play with a character that I could relate to was totally lame. I felt like I was observing and not immersing. There were some pacing issues too, often I felt stuck in mud.

    Regarding the politics, which did hurt this product…

    SIE, NG is on your corporate campus, you own it. I see three issues. First, what took so long to make this? Second, what happened to the quality? Third, your new games and marketing seem to all be in-line with the politics injected into this game. I think the answer is that unfortunately your HQ is now in the SF area where there is smug intolerant politics combined with entitlement ethics and contempt for past work. As such the characters in this game look and sound like a bar scene in SOMA San Francisco vs a time and place where Ellie and her peers are situated. I fear for PS5, I think it’s going to be rough road for SIE.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. a gringe game. miss old tlou 1, but lets go.

    This franchise is all about the story. Without the story the game means nothing. This game does have great visuals and great gameplay, but the main focus needs to be the story. The story just isn’t good and it tries too hard to make you feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for. And the ending tries so hard to make you feel sad, without making any logical sense.
    bsolute disrespect towards the 1st game. The story and the characters are so horribly written that it doesn't even make me angry anymore, just sad. There is nothing new in the gameplay we haven't seen already in other games. The only thing that's truly great about this game are the graphics. But that's it. The quality of the story rivals the story of Star Wars VIII: The last jedi. And i didn't even mention the forced SJW/gender propaganda (however, these are not the core problems of the game).
    Verdict: 4/10 (just because the graphics are amazing).
    - If you're looking for a great story, AVOID this game.
    - If you're a fan of the story and characters of the 1st tlou, AVOID this game.
    - If you don't like it when someone spits in your (or Joel's) face, AVOID this game.
    - If you don't care about the franchise and the future of gaming at all and all you seek are the
    graphics, buy this game. Collapse

A nivel narrativo creo que se ha cerrado la historia de Joel y Ellie de una forma muy agria . Es respetable, ya que en el universo de TLOU cabe ese final. El problema reside en cómo se ha ordenado la historia y con los personajes con los que jugamos. Creo que no ha favorecido nada el montaje narrativo y es una pena que no se hayan sido más detallistas por eso. El juego en si es bueno, te hace sentir otro tipo de emociones que no solemos encontrar en otros juegos del mismo género. Sin embargo he querido tanto a estos personajes que me ha dolido mucho cada decisión tomada para completar la história. Por eso le pongo un 7/10

    Gráficamente el juego es impresionante y sólo por eso vale la pena jugarlo y disfrutarlo. No me corto en ponerle un 8/10.

    Jugabilidad divertida en tiroteos, aburrida en la exploración y en la monotonía secuencial de : entrar, limpiar de personas y/o infectados , obtener recursos, salir, andar encontrar nuevo sitio y repetir secuencia. Luego, momento de clímax cortado por un flashforward en demasiados momentos para mi gusto. El peor momento anticlímax es en el encuentro con Abby. 6/10.

    Para terminar mi valoración personal es que he estado entretenido, he estado muy enganchado hasta pasármelo y quiero volver a jugar. El vacío que me creó el juego me sirvió para esuchar su BSO, conocer más detalles de lo que hay detrás de la producción (equipo, actores/actrices, polémicas, etc.). En ese aspecto, puedo decir, que me ha aportado para mi crecimiento personal que otros juegos. es por eso que le doy el 8/10, ya que prefiero un Naughty Dogs que arriesgue a comprar un Fifa 2020 y gastarme 10K para tener todos los personajes.

    Entiendo todos y cada uno de los puntos de vista de las personas que lo han jugado. (menos la parte de ser políticamente correcto). ¿Cuándo dejaremos de ser así como humanidad?, está claro que en el universo de TLOU refleja lo mismo que en el universo COVID en el cual vivimos: No nos aceptamos como sociedad con pluralidad de gustos. Me hace gracia pensar en lo paradójico del asunto.

    Recomiendo jugarlo y construir una opinión propia y sobretodo aprended a amar a las personas, ya que se van de un plumazo de la noche a la mañana y vivimos un vacío similar al de Ellie. Remito a la canción de Future Days.

    Salud paz y amor. Nos falta mucho de eso por todos lados.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ngl before i played the game I had heard so many spoilers that made me think the game was gonna be **** I was, at first, never gonna play the game because Joel dies and, to me, that would have ruined it, but surprisingly it was a lot better than I had heard. I loved the contrast between Ellie's and Abby's gameplay. Ellies was slow and methodical like an assassin, while Abby's was fast and brutal like a warrior. For the story, I preferred playing as Ellie, her relationship with Dina and Jesse. Her character made sense. This isn't little girl Ellie, this is an adult Ellie that has grown in a harsh world and cannot show that she is immune. Abby on the other hand felt like a blank canvas that was only used to try to get that "Ellie and Joel" type companionship between her and Lev. She never gave me a reason for redemption as I have been in love with the characters from the first game ever since I first watched a playthrough of the game. Her relationships with Manny, Owen, and Mel felt as though we were supposed to think of them as old friends, as if we already knew them (kinda like with Tess in the first). The ending had me feeling empty as though something was missing from it. I absolutely love the setting and the new "shamblers". The weapons felt good to use and I loved the rope and now when I play the first game, it feels awkward to be unable to jump or go prone. Really the only things I wish they did in the game would be making Dina more realistic (seriously, it is jarring how she changes from the end of day 1 to day 2), give Abby better flashbacks (I don't want to only be in the hospital and aquarium during the flashbacks), and give us more reasons to not like the Wolves as the only thing they did that made me not like them was that a group of them came and killed Joel. Besides that I found the game to be my favorite game I have played yet. I just hope they make a Part III and you play as either JJ or Lev because I think that would make sense. Expand

Gameplay is good because it is tremendously similar to the first game, in this aspect, the innovation has been quite poor, there are some new mechanics like that of crawling on the ground, but the confrontations are still quite repetitive. There are very few new enemies except the new acid zombies that are basically the same as in the first game but with another name and the enemies with dogs. Crafting materials are the same and, again, the items you make are the same as in part one (except for a small innovation such as the silencers for the 9mm), you even keep taking the same bricks and bottles to make noise.
    Let's go with the plot, one of the most important parts of the naughty dogs games. in my opinion this revenge story is pretty lazy. They wanted history to face a lot of problems in today's society such as homosexuality or sexism, but it does it very badly and messing it up with a shoehorn. Not because the 2 protagonists of the game are women, one of them a lesbian and the other a supergirl, but because they do not naturalize it, they make stupid references to it, all very forced. ignoring these sections, the story does not improve, in the end, it gives you the feeling that everything you've been through has been for nothing. I do not intend to make spoilers but it is not necessary, everything is very predictable. personally I would have opted for a new adventure of joel, tommy and ellie and I would not have incorporated these bad guys who in the end are not so bad.
    There are specific situations that I still don't understand, such as why Abby decides to betray her faction, which she owes a lot for helping two people she doesn't know about. again, the game tries to show you that abby isn't really that bad, but really? helping 2 strangers to the point of risking your life? Is this how you decide to show it to me?
    without a doubt the worst part of the game is the final, it doesn't even seem like it was planned. It seems that they introduced it to extend the game. seriously, the game could have ended in the theater with an epic final fight.
    Regarding the technical section, without a doubt, the best of the game, it is impressive, it really is incredible that it looks like this on a ps4. Probably the best game graphically speaking of the console generation.

    I heard it was bad, I saw the ratings, but I never imagined it would be such a disaster.

    Without spoiling anything, here are things you should consider before trying this game.

    Pros: The graphics are fantastic. That's all.

    Now for the rest:
    (1) This is not a horror game. If it was a movie, it would be tagged as "drama", then "action" maybe. You are not escaping some evil or hoping to find survive to reach some destination. In this game you are the hunter. If there is any horror, it's you. The whole game is about a quest for revenge. In doing so, you will butcher countless humans. There are still some infected (zombies) here and there, but they are more like random critters, not at all the main focus.

    (2) This is the main problem. You play as various characters, but they are all detestable, including Ellie. I've never hated main characters that much before. If it was a movie it would be alright perhaps. But sticking such long hours commanding a character that you hate on a quest that you reject makes enjoying the game impossible. I still watched the story to the end, and believe me, it only gets worse. In the last hour of the game, I was like, are you for real !!!

    (3) As others commented, the game has a lot of political messages here and there. As a mature individual I don't care, but the problem is with influenceable kids playing the game. And no matter what the rating is, kids will always play all kind of games. Then it becomes a problem what they are being told.

    I believe this game killed the franchise. The only way they could release another game in this series is by moving completely away from this horrible cast.
