    I just got done with the game and just WOW. I've never been so affected by a game like this ever. It's been an hour and I'm still trying to reel my emotions in. I've felt everything from horror, terror, rage, happiness, sadness and even guilt. This game is truly a masterpiece. Thank you ND for this experience!!!

    Fantastic game. The gameplay is almost the same as the first game, but it has much more depth. The story was unexpected, but it made me emotionally invested in both Abby and Ellie. The graphics and overall environment blew my mind. I think this game really is a must play.

    No hagas caso a críticas negativas. Es un videojuego con mucho corazón, y se nota en sus detalles. No debería faltar en tu experiencia de juego. Obviamente tiene problemas de ritmo, pero solo eso
    Lo recomiendo ampliamente

    The Good: Graphics look good. The game is out and the useless can delete their videos or posts with theories and conspiracies that if Joel was alive, that if Joel was dead, that if Ellie's mother, that if Ellie's daughter ... the animations are fine (only on objects in first frame or closest). The Weapons customization.

    The bad: It seems like a bad copy of the mix of the Rambo, Final    The Good: Graphics look good.

    The bad: It seems like a bad copy of the mix of the Rambo, Final Destination and SAW movies (excess violence and gore just for the gore itself, violence only for violence, without escape valves). The game is boring. The visual impact of "semi-open environments" is soon over. Action scripted. Weapon customization is good, but magic falls off when there are few bullets and it's more "entertaining" to block and punch some enemies. There are many cracks, chests of drawers and doors that baffle because they are only put there as a decorative wallpaper. Some bugs appear (Ellie without a right arm, blocked faces in the background, blurred faces in distant models, lighting problems with the flashlight, which probably already has a patch in this regard). Scripted sequences “go forward” only go forward (which does look good, but is still a hallway). The restrictions imposed by the embargo imposed by Sony Playstation, Naugthy Dog to the analyzes limiting the opinions to only the first 13 parts of the game and from then on "the doubtful part and the controversial part" do not enter the analyzes, therefore those 10 cannot be sustained.

    The Meh!: No game is perfect. The press knew that the leaks were true and yet they never warned or warned about the changes in the cast, this detracts from their credibility due to the bias of the embargo This game is rated M for “Mature” / PEGI18, so I don't know why they are trying to sell this game to children under 18 who shouldn't be playing it. All that feeling of The politically correct and to be well with the groups that the press gave off for this game on paper sounded "good", in the leaked video it already warned us that it was not what was expected, in the execution it fails since it is not merely fun and it will make you feel bad, a video game should give you other sensations not make you feel bad. This game is not a 10/10, but not a resounding 0 either.    … Expand

    Best game I’ve played, a lot of the negative reviews on here are from people that haven’t actually played the game and just going along with a mob mentality. If you wanna know how you’d like it, take the time to play it yourself. Genius story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abby is the best part in this game. The arch and journey that she goes on is something that you don't see anywhere in the rest of the story.
    Ellie was disappointing as seeing that she never learned a lesson or realized that what she was doing is not what Joel would want her to do.
    Have to say, the graphics and gameplay, (while not evolving from the first) were still incredible and fun to be a part of.
    I wish there was less focus on forcing a political value on customers would have been replaced with logic and thought about how the characters could have been more developed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II es uno de esos videojuegos que son difíciles de calificar, no solo por la oscura historia que cuenta, sino también por lo arriesgado del movimiento de ND. Cuando uno estudia guionismo lo primero que se aprende es que existen 3 tipos de finales en general, los finales felices, los finales complacientes y finalmente los finales trágicos, como es el caso de este The Last Of Us, obviamente este último es el más arriesgado y desde el vamos se sabe que generará polémica, sobretodo si es una secuela, sin embargo, a diferencia de otros ejemplos que se me ocurren, The Last Of Us Part II sabe manejarlo de manera adecuada. No voy a mentir, en mi primera partida hubieron varias partes que no me gustaron (en específico la historia de Abby y su extensa duración), pero luego de haber terminado el juego ya 2 veces y haberlo platinado, uno puede comprender la razón de la existencia de esa parte en la historia, ya que no solo nos sirve para entender las motivaciones de este personaje, sino que también es un intento del juego de generar en el jugador uno de los sentimientos más difíciles: la empatía. Obviamente, yo soy de los que hubiera preferido jugar el 100% con Ellie, pero habiendo terminado el juego hace casi 2 semanas y habiéndolo reflexionado, en mi opinión la parte de Abby esta completamente justificada y no concebiría la historia de la misma manera de no ser por ella.

    Otra parte que me gustaría destacar es sobre el final del juego (la parte desde que Ellie llega a Santa Bárbara hasta la pelea final), por lo menos en mi caso, a estas alturas mi nivel de inmersión era total, el ponerse en los zapatos de Ellie, el encontrarse ya cansado de luchar y con la ansiedad de no saber que pasaría al final debido a la naturaleza oscura de esta historia, es una sensación que ningún otro videojuego o película habían generado en mi, en especial durante la pelea final con Abby donde uno como jugador ya se encuentra exhausto (igual que Ellie) y usa sus última energías para pelear sin saber ya si es lo correcto realmente.

    En cuanto a personajes, me parecieron todos correctos, en la parte de Ellie: Dina me pareció buen personaje y logró complementar bien a Ellie, además de que sirvió como su apoyo para que no decayera en la locura la mayoría de la aventura; El personaje de Jesse también me pareció correcto, mi único "pero" es con Tommy, hubiera preferido que se le diera mas participación, ya que salvo la parte del francotirador y algunos momentos específicos, no se le vio mucho y en las escenas importantes quedaba noqueado desde el inicio (como en el teatro)
    En la historia de Abby: el personaje que mas me gustó fue por lejos Lev, me pareció buen complemento y su personalidad me sorprendió, lo que si extrañé fue el sentir mas empatía con los WLF, salvo quizás con Owen en algunos momentos vagos, no logré empatizar con ninguno de ellos (muchísimo menos con Manny que es el personaje que más odié del juego)

    Finalmente, uno de los temas más polémicos del juego: la muerte de Joel; por mucho que me haya dolido, yo creo que era necesaria para justificar el desarrollo de la historia y el personaje de Ellie (porque si, si iban a repetir lo mismo de la parte 1 pero con Ellie y Joel más viejos no había razón de ser de este juego), aunque si hubiera preferido que se diera de otra forma, pero considerando la ambientación post-apocalíptica del juego es lo normal. Y nuevamente insisto que para mí esta completamente justificada su muerte, de la misma manera que la muerte de Sarah en la parte 1 sirve para justificar la historia y desarrollo de Joel.

    El epílogo es correcto considerando la naturaleza trágica del guión, de hecho es probablemente el final más deprimente que he visto en videojuego alguno (dentro de los que yo considero que tienen buenos finales), ni siquiera NieR: Automata, el cual a pesar de ser de naturaleza trágica, tiene un final feliz a la larga (uno de ellos). El ver a Ellie regresando a su hogar, notar que Dina la abandonó y darse cuenta que lo perdió todo por su afán de vengarse, sirve como máximo punto de madurez para ella, haciendo la comparación a como era durante el primer juego y la mayor parte del segundo.

    Finalmente, en cuanto a gráficos y jugabilidad no tengo mucho que decir, el juego es una delicia en estos apartados, y eso considerando que lo corrí en una PS4 normal (del año 2014), no me quiero imaginar como será en una PS4 PRO, de lejos lo mejor que tuve la oportunidad de jugar en esta generación.

    En conclusión, The Last Of Us Part II me pareció un juego redondo, y lo más importante (y es la razón por la cuál le doy un 10) es que logró algo que casi nunca me sucede, y es el hecho de marcarme, son muy pocas historias las que logran hacerse un hueco en ti al punto de que aunque lo hayas terminado hace tiempo, los personajes, historias y sentimientos que sentiste al jugarlo, se queden ahí contigo por siempre.    … Expand

The sounds design was amazing and the gameplay mechanics and HUD never felt clunky, in the way or over the top.

Unfortunately the story was taken in a disappointing direction. The entire second half of the game all I could care about was about the story with Ellie as Abbey’s portion felt like a means to an end. Although it’s okay to take the overall plot in a risk direction, the pacing and organization of the narrative brought a sour taste to an otherwise solid game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A steaming crap taken on the original game. Yes the art and music is fantastic (when it's not being ripped from a different creator without credit), however the story itself and the murder (both figuratively and literally) of beloved characters is just terrible. Let's start easy. Joel was **** in this game. They changed his entire way of thinking in order to get him in the position for Abby to kill him. Remember back when Joel got mad at Ellie for using her real name when they met Sam and Henry? Yeah none of that comes to play when he gladly gives his name to Susan Strong... Ehem I mean Abby. Next, the massive plot armor that Dina AKA "The Nose" and Abby have. It's beyond unreal. There is a scene in the game where The Nose shoots someone and then falls through a window. The other enemy holsters his weapon and goes over to strangle her instead of shooting her. There is no reason for this aside from giving Ellie a chance to stab him. The same thing with Abby surviving all those infected and somehow Joel showing up to save her. Even worse is the scene of Abby killing Joel when Ellie walks in. She stands and watches for many seconds. This isn't what her character would do. We saw it plain and simple when she saved Joel's life in the hotel in the first game. They even reference it in this piece of garbage but for some reason she can't rely on those lighting reflexes when Hulk Hogana... Ehem I mean Abby, is at the end of the barrel. The writing in this game is lazy at best and just plain stupid at worse. Another nitpick of mine is that this is not a romance game. Never was never will be. This game is about survival and the (very sloppy) romance that the writers try to add in doesn't help the game at all. It makes it feel rushed and unfinished. Much like the rest of the game. The story and plot armor aside the mechanics have not really improved. You can dodge, you can lie down, and She Rah... Ehem I mean Abby, can break your neck like a toothpick. That is the only improvement to the mechanics. It's still just the same animations over and over throughout this empty world and with a story that can't even hold itself together without pulling a GoT "let's kill beloved characters" it doesn't work.… Expand

    Save yourself the heartbreak and don’t start this game. Garbage story, but the dumpster fire doesn’t start until you’re in pretty deep. Being forced to play as Abby (the antagonist) for 10-15 hours is beyond dumb. Zero stakes. Zero empathy. Apparently, zero understanding of the basic tenets of storytelling. Despite my undying love for TLoU#1, this is a DNF for me.

    This is a terrible game. The original was a decent game with a good plot which dealt with themes like family and loyalty which resonated because although it was a brutal world, the story was essentially one of love and redemption and taking one’s destiny into their own hands and finding hope and a reason to fight even in an ugly world. This is literally the opposite of that. Fun times.

    But the story is an absolute mess! Yes I was passed when Joel was killed but not by the fact that he died it was how he was killed. They made his character and Tommy's character look like they were thick (If you played the originalnyou would understand).

    They made Abbey look like a genuinly nice person and gave her everything. Ellie was made to look like a vile person just after revenge and took everything away from her.

    I would go more in depth but to be honest this game is not worth the words, I'm surprised I've already written this much.

Joel's death was saddening for all those that played the first game, but in my opinion, was necessary to continue the story with Ellie.

    Video games are constructed around choice, and when I played the game for the first time, I expected one here. A lot of games, including highly ambitious ones, present you at various points with a kill-the-guy/don’t-kill-the-guy binary, allowing you to shape at least a part of your character’s morality. At this juncture of The Last of Us, however, there was nothing but a glaring lack of alternatives. The only way to move the story forward — and reach an ending in which I’d already invested 14 emotionally debilitating hours — was to murder the pleading doctor while his colleagues screamed “No!” and    … Expand

The game makes you question the actions of characters you once thought were good, and consider the actions of characters you once thought were bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, well, well. For the past 7 years, I have never wanted anything as badly as I wanted a TLOU sequel. Nothing at all. It was my favorite game of all time, apart from Bioshock, and I gotta say, I'm disappointed. The scenery and the graphics are all gorgeous. The gameplay was basically the same as last time around, which I have no problem with. But the story? The story was a gut punch. Kudos to the dev team for wanting to try something different, I have no problem with that and I respect their choice to do so. Killing Joel was a perfectly fine way to go, I think that idea was good for the overall story and furthering Ellie's story. But man, after 7 years of waiting to keep going along for the ride with Ellie and all the promotional stuff leading us to believe we were in it for the long haul with Ellie, boom, HALF OF THE STORY FOLLOWS THE WOMAN WHO KILLED THE (albeit terrible human being) MAN WE LOVED. That's why this game disappointed me. Was Abby's story empathic and a cool twist that we weren't expecting? Of course. I have no issue with dabbling in that territory. But good lord, for half of the game? A game that was what, 30 hours long? Nope, sorry that ain't it chief. Cut a 3rd of the game out, let Ellie get her revenge (or let her live like she did in the game, I don't care), and then let's move on and give Ellie more to do. More to overcome, more to grow in her new post-Joel life with Dina. Do I understand Abby and her motivations? Yes. Was her storyline with Lev endearing? Yes. Do I care about it? No, not really. This was supposed to be Ellie's story and it ended up being half her story. It was a new and ambitious way to tell a story, but to me personally, it just didn't really hit. I could never bring myself to really care about Abby's character. I'm 1000% envious of the people who could really get into her character and loved her and loved that story dynamic, and maybe I will too after another play-through or two. But my instant feelings are one of disappointment, but that's just one humble mans opinion. Oh, and to all the people bashing the game over its LGBTQ inclusion, 2 female leads or anything stupid like that, it's 2020. Grow up already. Dislike the game for real reasons, not bigoted, idiotic ones.… Expand

The gameplay, performance of the cast, musical score and graphics are all exceptional, however in spite of them it’s watered down by a plot-hole ridden story; characters we know little to nothing about, unnecessary scenes and rash decisions by said characters. Abby’s storyline (seeing the story and setting from the antagonist’s perspective) I found interesting, if a bit drawn out at points. The ending, particularly, is the biggest problem for me: Ellie choosing to let Abby live rather than killing her as she vowed to do. I understand the idea that they may have wanted to implement about breaking the cycle of violence, but it was poorly executed in my opinion, especially given Ellie’s murdering of countless people during the game. Regardless of these faults it was a very enjoyable game. Perhaps it all will be worth it for a third instalment.… Expand

    -Graficas
    Los graficos fueron perfectos para esta generación, tanto en las cinematicas y en el gameplay se podian notar los grandes detalles que se habian puesto, esto es un punto muy fuerte porque estan graficas fueron excelentes para esta generación de consolas.. (10/10)

    -Jugabilidad
    La jugabilidad es lo mejor de este juego, dando vida a todos sus personajes y enemigos, con unas muy buenas mecánicas de juego,un excelente trabajo por parte de ND, una jugabilidad que te enamora de del gameplay. (10/10)

    -Mapa
    Si es cierto, este juego no es de mundo abierto, cada mapa que nos presentan en las misiones son mundos grades , mundos donde te muestran como la vida a través de este virus ha cambiado, mapas grandes y llenos de detalles, donde cada loot vale la pena, sin duda cada mapa que nos presentan es bueno, buenos lugares que valen la pena explorar. (10/10)

    -Historia
    Para poder evaluar esta historia lo dividiré en la historia de Abby y la historia de Ellie
    En la historia de Ellie: todos queríamos la venganza al ver a Joel morir, en esta historia vimos varios personajes, esta historia me pareció genial, al igual que todos los flashbacks fueron geniales, pudimos ver transcurso que pasaron juntos Ellie y Joel después de el primer juego y esto es genial, pudimos ver su relación, y la razón la cual Ellie sintió tanto odio hacia los que mataron a Joel.
    Abby: en el caso de Abby, nos quisieron hacer simpatizar con ella, lo cual para muchos no resultó, y yo pienso que para empatizar con ella hubiera sido mejor ver su pasado con su familia, con su papá para poder entender la búsqueda de Joel, y la razón de que su muerte, con el personaje de Abby pudieron haber hecho una gran historia, por odio de flashbacks pero no aprovecharon esta oportunidad, lo que si vimos es la evolución de su personaje, antes eras una persona la cual no dudaba en matar y la era una mala persona a después que pudimos ver como cambia su perspectiva y su punto de vista.
    Hay que añadir que hubo personajes secundarios geniales, como Dina, o Owen, personajes con los cuales te familiarizas y sientes importancia hacia ellos y en esta parte lo hicieron perfecto, hicieron que muchos de sus personajes secundarios no se sintieran como relleno, aunque hubo muchos otros que si se sintieron como relleno.
    La muerte de Joel: el como murió Joel me parece bien, en esta saga de dos juegos ningún personaje ha tenido una muerte digna o gloriosa, y no hay porque hacer excepciones, lo único que no me pareció bueno es que no hayan matado de una forma tan temprana, tal vez un poco después estaría bien matarlo, pero al inicio cuando solo ha salido en dos escenas me parece un gran error.
    El final: El final no es un final alegre pero tampoco es un final triste, es un final realista, un final que nos deja impactados, en el cual te muestran la razón del porque Ellie perdonó a Abby,te muestran que Ellie nunca perdonó a Joel en su ultima platica, Ellie claramente sentía toda esta culpa, y gracias a todo este viaje aprendió a perdonar a las personas.
    En el primer juego nuestro objetivo era llevar a Ellie para crear una cura, y no se cumplió; en esta segunda entrega el objetivo era matar a Abby y no se cumplió, porque ambos juegos nos dejan una enseñanza y algo por lo cual reflexionar.
    Este final personalmente me encantó, y que este juego sea realista en su historia, y que nos haya entregado algo maduro me encanta. (8/10)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright, so i just finished the game, but let me start from when i started the game. i thought, "hm why are people hating this so much?", then Joel died, and in a not very cool way. I though that sucks, but, i also saw why they did it like that. They wanted to take the Hero off of his pedestal, and destroyed him, very literally. I thought it made sense, they want the audience to feel the same as Ellie. It made me want revenge just like it made Ellie want revenge, i personally thought that was fantastic. Then while playing as Ellie i loved the graphics, i enjoyed the game play, i liked the sneaking, and i liked the suspenseful moments. They could have worked on a lot of the person to person interactions, to me a lot of it seemed awkward and through a lot of the flashbacks i kept seeing a weaker Joel, a Joel who cowered i fear of Ellie at all times. He was meek whenever Abby was around. I disliked that, in the second game, and some flashbacks that went back to before they had the bust up, he could quip back at her and wasn't passive. I also didn't like having to play as the enemy... it didn't humanize them to me, it made me hate them more, i hated playing with Abby, Owen etc. I see what they wanted to do from a narrative perspective, they wanted to show that the enemy inst so different from the character we love, which is fine, but i didn't like it. I like that we saw JJ, Dina and Ellie live happily in the house, but i hate that Ellie couldn't let it go for Dina, and lastly that Dina was gone when Ellie came back, more on that later. When Ellie then leaves i do not like that we have to save Abby to then fight her, to then let her leave again. I wanted to kill Abby, we traveled far to kill Abby, so let me **** kill her, that mercy **** sucked, the little flashback to Joel that makes her think he wouldn't like this is dumb, she was having PTSD about seeing Joel die and now she grows a conscience out of no where? Screw that i want Abby to drown. When we get back Dina and JJ are gone, everything is gone, Ellie stuff is packed into one room, and we then play the guitar, only to learn she cant, because Abby bit two fingers off Ellie in the fight. Then we have a flashback to Joel and Ellie sorta reconciling after their feud, which was good because a lot of the flashback implied a lot of tension, but the last flashback showed the still loved each other and wanted to reconcile. But what i HATE, absolutely despise, is that we didn't get to see Dina and JJ again, they built up the living together part and the leaving scene was so dramatic, i wanted to see them make up and walk together into Jackson as the gates close. Or at least have it as a post credit scene. Its a fine game, i had fun, but the thing i hate the most, is not killing Abby, and not seeing Dina again.

    To who ever has read all of that, thank you for listening to my opinion, and have a nice day.    … Expand

    Beautiful game. Complex and tragic story that requires a certain level of emotional intelligence to understand fully. Indeed, I'm still coming to terms with the characters actions, why they made them and their implications on the ones they love.

    The story is set in an unsympathetic, cruel and dark world where morals come and go like the wind. People show kindness and warmth, but are susceptible to a change where they show an inner, uglier strength that has kept them alive this long.

    I'd probably give the game a 7/10 based solely on the graphics, acting and music which are all absolutely phenomenal. Throw in some really enjoyable gameplay (which is similar to the first game, and still great) and you've got yourself a game that's extremely addictive. Now throw in a mesmerising story that invites you to partake in some hauntingly beautiful moments, and some grotesque and tragic ones. You'll be laughing and crying throughout the game.

    If you haven't played it, I hope you do!    … Expand

    Ok ok, the overall Game is pretty good but Goddamn wtf, the story is **** mentally draining and **** depressing. How the **** you go from the best game that I would say in a Decade to **** up the entire game in part 2.... The game play is a 8, the Graphics is a 10, the mechanics is a 8 but the **** story and plot is just **** horrible.

    I bought a ps4 for TLOU because I heard the story was like playing a movie. I had seen the leaks for this 1 so I was skeptical, but I decided to do research and I'm glad I did. My advice is watch a gameplay before you buy cause it saved me 60 bucks. The game mechanics are the same and the story has this obvious undertone of sexism. I will not buy this game

    Oh what an emotional ride! This game takes you through a roller-coast of emotions, it takes *you*, the player, and smacks you into a physiological experiment that opens your eyes (or others’) to see how one can handle their emotions, it tests your EQ. It definitely is not a game for immature youngsters. Graphics are excellent, gameplay mechanics are fantastic, challenges are challengingOh what an emotional ride!

It definitely is not a game for immature youngsters. Graphics are excellent, gameplay mechanics are fantastic, challenges are challenging but not impossible. A lot of “holy s**t” moments that tie the story together and (can) open players’ eyes to (in)humanity. Amazing game!… Expand

    Not as great of a master piece like the first one was, but, still, very far from the piece of trash a lot of people are claiming it to be.
    It is a very good game with astonishing graphics and an arguably perfect gameplay. But the overall narrative doesn't stand to it's predecessor.
    Would give an 8.5/10 but in this case I'll prefer to round it 0.5 up instead of down.

    Ya guys are all nuts. I need therapy after finishing this game, but you lot that didn't understand **** about this phenomenal work conceptualised by an incredible team should urgently seek therapy for your own bloody issues. Get ya head outta arses! Sure it had some issues, but I'm telling you, try to salvage what little humanity you may still have left in ya. ASAP.

    Complex and unique. If you felt angry after playing the game succeeded. Like experiencing the Red Wedding for 30 hours.

    The best game of this generation

    Pros: level design, face expressions (owwww), the story and the narrative, gameplay, combats.
    Cons: loooooong explorations, medium AI, some characters can be more explored.

    Left me speechless.. It's the best work of fiction I have ever experienced. It's a brilliant continuation to the original masterpiece. I got me riled up like nothing else. It'll test your emotions, your morals..fudge. I absolutely love and appreciate every bit of details in this masterpiece.

    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]
