    El juego me parecio exelente, tanto en jugabilidad, graficos e historia. Creo que la historia esta bien enlazada con la primera parte.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First game is a good balance of good gameplay(50%) and good storytelling(50%), this second one is only gameplay, graphics, the monsters designs and little details are really good and some parts of the game, but half way on this game, the player is forced to play something that they don´t want to, this second half of the game is like a punisment for the players, and the worst part, force to feel something, just because the story requires it, and after all the time that you put in the game, the player is NOT REWARDED IN THE END. The storytelling is messy and you cannot belive that the sameperson that worked on the first game did the second one, when the story is soo bad that it takes away your will to play it, that is not a masterpiece.… Expand

    Vale, al haber JUGADO Y ACABADO TLOU parte 2, opino que el juego es bastante bueno, bien es cierto que hay partes de la historia donde se hacen largas, aburridas.

El gameplay en mi opinión, me gusta que sea como el de la parte 1, ya que si hubiesen cambiado mucho la mecánica de juego no se sentiría como si estuviese jugando tlou, aunque eso creo que es más subjetivo. Por parte de la banda sonora, creo que está bastante decente, pero esto ya es algo subjetivo. El desarrollo de personajes la verdad es muy incompleta y creo que nos han introducido un personaje muy importante de una manera bastante precipitada y pienso que no llega a tener un buen desenvolvimiento. Pero aun así pienso que no es un hecho que no nos deje disfrutar Tlou 2. ¿Se merece esos 10 de los críticos? No. ¿Se merece esos 0 de los jugadores? No.… Expand

What's more, I dare to say that it seems everyone is bought, no one asked how there is not a single negative comment in "crític review" section or how almost every single comment are 9 or above? In addition to how they are oddly contradicting the points that true fans complain about: the characters (Abby mainly) when there is a comment saying how we hate their poor introduction, their story and development, there are 4 or 5 more saying that they love the characters, when we complain about how the story mocks and spits in the face of the first game, they all shield themselves with the cheap excuse of: "If you don't like this game, it's because you're homophobic"
    I´m pretty sure all of us who played and loved the first game never cared that Elie was gay. On the contrary, I loved the character, but no, they had to play that dirty card, blaming the community for being intolerant, just because the game was influenced by a person (I'm not going to say her name but I think everyone already knows who she is) who ruined the story just for wanting to put a progressive psychology in our brains, something that was very useless by the way, since the points where they try to be inclusive and make us understand the characters fail so brutally that nothing matters and makes us think that this script was written by a monkey on a desk.
    A very bad game, a very bad introduction, message, story and character development, but, above all, a very bad treatment not only for the fans, but also for the workers who suffered terrible working conditions for nothing. The game´s tittle is "The Last of Us", I think it fits perfectly, because I hope that this game will be "The Last of Them"    … Expand

    Gonna keep this as spoiler free as possible. I would give this game a 9/10 almost a 10/10. The only things keeping it from a 10 are small things really, one being that I feel the game is a bit too long and drawn out, although well paced.

I would give this game a 9/10 almost a 10/10. The only things keeping it from a 10 are small things really, one being that I feel the game is a bit too long and drawn out, although well paced. For a linear game having more open areas was fantastic (especially early on in Seattle) however sometimes areas were unnecessary large and a chore to search, especially when nothing useful is found. I also felt the game was too easy? Maybe because I'm already used to the mechanics from TLOU1 but I played on hard and would rarely die. Also ammo and resources were more easily found than TLOU1 meaning I always had a health kit or was able to craft one. Anyway, moving past those niggles, this game is fantastic in every other way. I completed it a few days ago and I can't shake it, I'm constantly thinking about it, I'm even dreaming about the game and characters. There are things that happen in this game that will make you so angry. And thats the point. Its a revenge story. Get mad at the person who wronged Ellie, don't get angry at the game or the writers. The writers aren't there to pander to what you want, or what you think would be best for the characters. You're along for the ride, and wow is it a wild ride. You have to allow yourself to feed into the game and it's story.

    Slight spoiler here. There is a huge narrative shift in the second half of the game. And when this happened I was with a large portion of people hating on this game. I HATED what the game was making me do. I was thinking to myself 'no way am I gonna f***ing play this'. But I did. I'm glad I did. I surprisingly found myself investing in this portion of the game and if I'm honest, some of my favourite moments are from this section (mainly talking about the epic boss battle in the hospital, WOW). I still didn't love this section, but I appreciated it for what it was and why this was happening; It was essential for the telling of this games story.

    This game as I said before, is one hell of a ride. I originally was 100% behind Ellie and her revenge mission. When she succeeded in the first revenge kill, I loved it, I was cheering her on, 'die b*tch' I remember shouting at my TV. As the game progresses, and you follow Ellie and other characters, things happen etc etc, I then found myself later on on the game BEGGING Ellie not to do things, seeing the consequences first hand, seeing what it was doing to Ellie and the people around her. When I finished the game my mum asked me 'so, out of 10 what would you give it?' And at that point right after finishing it, I genuinely didn't have a rating. That's not because I did or didn't like the game. It's because it is so much more than a game, its a beautifully crafted story that for the time you are playing through it, you are just fully immersed in the world. I was still mulling over events, reeling from certain plot points, wondering about the characters.

    I apologise if this review is written really badly, I don't really do this often, but I felt like I needed to honestly tell my experience with this game.    … Expand

Here we go the last of us for me was the greatest game ever made and it is my all time favourite whilst playing it I grew to love the characters and there was always hope. This games story is bleak and depressing. The gameplay is great the visuals are great but I'm sorry the story is bad. Joel is not a stupid person and would have never of fallen for the setup but to kill him off in this manner was terrible. The game then forces you to play a character I hated and by the end I found mo satisfaction at all by letting baby go who I really hated. This is the last jedi of video games and I will.never but a naughty dog game again… Expand

    This game’s story felt rushed and pointless at times and over-cumbering and drawn out at others. They make loved characters into monsters with no redeeming qualities. The LGBT content in the game is fine however it feels as if the chemistry between characters is dryer than cardboard.

I so wish Naughty Dog would have gone with a prequel to this game than a sequel, following Joel after the death of his daughter and his loss of humanity would be an interesting story to play.

El introducir personajes por cuestiones "políticamente correctas" y hacerlo el actor de todos lo actos mas violentos (e innecesarios) posicionando al mismo como uno de los personajes mas fuertes y poderosos.

Cuando un videojuego solo tiene como unica identidad la propaganda de inclusión y está se realiza con un argumento pobre y forzado, no es sorpresa que a muchos fanes y jugadores no les agrade, y si el mismo director piensa que el videojuego tiene como rol principal el el de "enseñar" politizando a sus jugadores en lugar de lo que siempre fue el objetivo de todo juego ENTRETENER. lamentablemente no veo futuro a un the last of us 3 y de corazon si su tercera entrega llega a ser una propaganda interactiva, prefiero que la misma muera dando como recuerdo que se debe hacer (the last of us 1) y que no (esta entrega)… Expand

    - La historia está llena de hoyos argumentales, clichés y un final predecible desde el capitulo 1.
    - Los personajes simples y sin carácter cosa que hace que no te puedes encariñar con ninguno.
    - Final sin sentido e incongruente con todo el desarrollo de la historia, todos esos meses y años siguiendo su venganza para dejarla escapar solo porque si.
    - Esos incómodos momentos en los que te "obligan" a jugar con Abby, un personaje que simplemente odias y te da igual su pasado, ya que todos tienen una historia triste en ese mundo post apocalíptico, no tiene nada de especial.
    - La IA sigue siendo igual de deficiente que en el primer juego

    En lineas generales, todo lo que hice bien tlou con su historia y personajes, lo arruinaron en esta segunda entrega

    Pros:

    - Gráficamente aprovecho todo el poder gráfico que pudo a la ps4.
    - La jugabilidad es casi idéntica a la del 1 y diría que es incluso mas fácil pero aun así sigue siendo entretenida.

    Bueno, pero se pudo haber aprovechado mas

    - Los perros y los enemigos gritando los nombres de sus amigos, como para intentar hacernos sentir mal fue una buena idea, pero mal implementada ya que después de la primera vez, llega a aburrir

    2) Or people who did not understand the main message of Neil Druckmann. Revenge never leads to good. Revenge only destroys you. And it is perfectly conveyed in the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off I just want to say never have I ever in my life been so angry to leave a review on a game. There are so many choices in the story that were made that literally butchered everything. I also want to make something clear. The fact that there is this thing happening to where if you don't like the game it's because you're a bigot or you have anything to do with LGBT is so annoying to me. Yes there are definitely people who are hating the game only for that reason but for me personally I absolutely do not care that they included that in the game. It does not matter because that is not what makes the story terrible to me. Now to get into the details here is my problem with the game and why I am so angry. First off why would they decide to use Joel as something to just further the plot and use him as a plot device. It is an injustice to his character whom which we all love. The only reason why that scene was heartbreaking at all is because it was a character we loved and had been waiting to see for 7 YEARS just taken away from us almost immediately. Other than that it was just so unemotional and there was nothing else that really made you feel in that moment. If they wanted to kill joel that badly then they shouldve done it differently and maybe i don't know wait a little bit before they killed him. Also what Nuaghty Dog seemed to forget is we wanted so badly to play as Joel and Ellie again and we all thought that that was what we were going to get but no we did not. It would have been way better if they killed Tommy and made Ellie and Joel go on the revenge spree if they wanted to keep that same storyline. Now getting in to the main game. I played as Eliie for so many hours thinking I was going to get revenge because in all honesty thats all I wanted. I did not feel a single drop of remorse any time we killed someone. Personally i don't know why naughty dog thought we would. And then at the end of the three days they ended up killing Jesse while then FORCING us to play as Abby, Joel's killer, FOR 10 HOURS was the most annoying thing ever that made me feel so damn angry. Throughout the time I was playing as her I treated it as a damn speedrun and it was just something I wanted to get over with. Not once throughout those 10 hours did I smile, laugh or feel anything for Abby. Why would they try to force her on us and essentially make us love her. I do not csre for her at all. So we go through all of that just so we can see her end up shooting tommy and Jesse and then the game does the 2nd worse thing in the entire game. THEY MADE US FIGHT ELLIE AS ABBY. Why on Earth would they think that was a good idea. Everytime Abby died i was legit just so happy with it and I wished that's where it ended. But no the game continued and I was so emotionally and physically drained. And then they show us Ellie and Dina living om the farm and i still could not even enjoy that. I was still so angry I could not even enjoy seeing Eliie happy. All I wanted was for the game to be over but no they still give us 3 more hours left to olay. I just ran through as much of it as I could. I did not try at all in the encounters I just did whatever I needed to. And now the the worse thing they decided to do was let Abby live. We did that dramatic fight scene just to feel so unsatisfied. Actually we played 30 hours just to feel unsatisfied. All for what, just to set up a third game that if we have to olay as Abby again most people are never going to touch it? Just to recap, We as players lost Joel, Ellie lost Joel, She also lost dina and her baby which was basically her family, Jessie died, Tommy got crippled and blind from one eye, and to top it off Ellie gets stuck with ptsd and has nothing in the end. Literally nothing. Meanwhile Abby gets to go live happily ever after with Lev. Why did they just get rid of all the characters we loved and make Ellie lost everything. If they were trying to send a message on how violence isn't the answer or revenge isn't that answer but yet Abby dedicated her whole entire life to getting revenge. Why does she get to get away with this and Ellie loses. Not only that , but it made no sense for Ellie to even leave Dina to go find her. You would think she'd just move on at that point. I would much rather have that happen then seeing Eliie literally lose everything and everyone while knowing Abby gets to go be happy. In conclusion that is why the storyline is absolutely garbage.… Expand

I was shocked that people didn't see this coming. A lot of people explains why it's bad storytelling. IT is NOT bad storytelling. Joel made a choice in the ending of the first game. He killed a lot of innocent people and lied to Ellie. A good story have consequences to actions. This is what happen in the beginning of the game.

Falling from grace almost overnight, by injecting politics, pushing an agenda onto the public. As well as claiming several YouTube and Twitter accounts with DMCA claims. Sony and ND have severely tarnished their reputations among the gaming community. TLOU2 tries too hard to claim the players attention, relying on it's brand of cinematic dramatisation. It's a gruelling journey of depression and bleakness, drowning in morbidity. Aside from flach back segments, there is not a single moment of respite or joy like the first game had, which helped the pacing and added contrast to the story. In fact, the flash backs of Joel and Ellie are the best this game has to offer, which is ironic. The established characters feel out-of-place and poorly written, along with new characters, who are either boring or annoying. The story is so laughably bad, I had trouble pressing on as I felt the writing get progressively worse. It's appropiate to say that the comparison to GOT S8, or The Last Jedi feels hits the nail on the head. The gameplay is okay. A somewhat improvement on the first game's stealth and combat, which were already cumbersome tedious. TLOU2 feels more like a new coat of paint, rather than an much needed overhaul. The game is gorgeous to look at. Probably the best looking game of this generation. The environments are phenomenal and well designed. Unfortuantely the cons far outweigh the pros in this 25 hr long sh*t show of a story. Which is why we all play ND games. For a great story. And this ain't it, chief.… Expand

The narrative is plenty easy to follow, it's not riddled with plotholes, and it's both incredibly thought provoking and moving. If you're complaining that the flashbacks are too much to keep up with, maybe stick to third grade reading level media. Everybody wanted a happy go lucky fan service filler episode, but that's not what this series does, and nothing we've seen before should make us think that. The characters deal with the consequences of their actions. The parallels between our two main characters are impressively executed, and I love the story they told. The ending undoubtedly left me feeling sad, but that's because it's a sad story. They succeeded in telling the story they set out to tell.

    Right off the bat, some of the issues are in the pacing and the way Naughty Dog sets up the game. There's a reason the pacing is done the way it is, but there are drawbacks to it. Similarly on the gameplay, we're all used to the stealth/survival gameplay loop and the game does it well, but it actually plays even better as an action game. If you play on NG+, make your loot settings easy and go to town. It's a fantastic action game, and most players will never experience it that way because of the default setup Naughty Dog encourages through tutorials and difficulty settings. So those are flaws.

    Technically, it's probably the best game ever produced. Graphics, sound and accessibility are at the top of its class. This is why you should immediately disregard anyone calling it a 0/10, and probably even stuff like a 2/10. It's a masterpiece in those areas, and the gameplay is actually pretty fantastic.

    Where there's a lot of dispute is the story, but what I'm really seeing a lot of is people being unwilling or unable to read below a single level deep. A lot of idiots are repeating "rEvEngE iS bAd" as a criticism of the game, but it's really not a story about revenge. If you read The Great Gatsby in high school and understood that is more than a melodrama about rich people, you should be able to figure it out. Forgiveness is the critical component of the game, and for Ellie it's largely about forgiving herself and those closest to her.

    At its heart, the story is about the grieving process. Every single flashback cut scene reinforces the idea I'm talking about. Pay attention to, and think about why ND chose those scenes and what the purpose was. The rest of the game's story will come to you.

    And you may have heard a lot about how depressing the game is, and it probably will leave you sad or melancholy. But all is not lost in the end, and the people who say that are missing what's going on. Ellie has to live with herself, first and foremost, and she had difficulty doing that even before the events of this game. By the time you get to the false ending, she's incapable of doing that so the idea of ending the game there would basically doom Ellie as a character. She goes on the final leg of her journey which I think was a bit too long (there's definitely some fat that could've been cut out), and learns to live with herself in the end. Materially, she may be broke. But spiritually, she's more complete than she has ever been before.

    That should be a hopeful message to everyone, even as you go through **** times.

    Some people argue that the game failed to make them empathize with one of the characters and that's a fine complaint. I disagree, but I get particular enjoyment about of books and movies that ask me to stretch my level of empathy. Others don't, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But I have to imagine, even those people aren't the ones rating it a 0/10 or probably even below a 5.

    The people giving those types of sub-5 reviews are entitled children. They're able to regurgitate a list of 15 different nitpicks and there's no use in trying to dispute them because they're not interested in a discussion on the game. The first game has all of the same issues (for example, the plot armor is even more extreme in the first game) but they don't even entertain those ideas because they're not receptive to new ideas. These people are better off left alone, until they make it out of their arrested development.

    As I mentioned, there are perfectly fair reasons to not think the game is a 9/10 like I did. But the range of sincere reviews should be something like 6-10. The people posting 5 and below are insincere.    … Expand

    To rate this game lower than 5 is ridiculous. If game of thrones kill loved characters it’s fine but Lou2 gets slammed as bad story. The game was made to be thought provoking and it certainly did that for me. Anger leads to anger, hate breeds hate and as I’m currently playing my second playthrough I find myself wanting to get to the second portion of the game again. Knowing what I know now I want to enjoy Abbys story more. On my first playthrough I rushed, gave her less time and struggled to empathise her story due to the anger felt towards her. I don’t feel that anymore. The ending, wasn’t what I’d have wanted to see but still powerful enough and during the final fight every punch I swung gave me less and less enjoyment and satisfaction. Ellie struggling to play guitar which is in the end the best way to keep her connected to Joel’s spirit is tainted.    … Expand

While the graphics are beautiful, and the combat much better than the first game, I can't help but hate the story. It just doesn't make sense, and in the end it's a series of pointless events that I have a hard time believing anyone would actually make. The game ended, and I felt that I had wasted the last 25 hours. I feel that the character of Abby was brought into the story in the worst possible way, and when your (nearly) first encounter with a new character is witnessing them commit a truly heinous act, you can't realistically expect from that point on that anything you present to try and show the "good side" of that character will have any meaningful effect. If we are introduced to a character as a monster, no amount of backstory or "point of view" storytelling will sway that initial impression. I also disliked how the events of the beginning of the game changed Ellie, she's much colder and cynical than she was in the first game, and her dynamic with Joel was one of my favorite aspects of that game. This sequel is also just too dark, there is no (or very very little) lightness in any of the storytelling or dialogue, and there's no balance. It's a shame, because aside from the storytelling every other aspect of this game is gorgeous and brilliant. Sad.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a very bad game! One of the worst games to date with such bad story telling and feminism being forced down your throat. The main antagonist is a female, the main lead is female, the main cult bosses are all female. It's all female, not to mention Abby is like she hulk, her arms are absolutely massive. I don't mind female roles I mean horizon Zero Dawn and Tomb Raider, masterpieces and it showed they were bad ass without it being shoved down our throats. The story telling is very poor, it's very jumbled about. What made the last of us 1 a masterpiece was the interaction between an old man who lost his daughter and a girl who was the same age as her who was scared of being alone. They embark on a journey together and they become a father daughter figure with lots of twists and turns but they always stick together with there witty and funny and truthful ways making us have ups downs and emotions that we just don't see in this game. I couldn't have been more let down in this game from a story telling perspective. When Joel died Ellie has hardly any remorse, yeah she crys a little from time to time but does it truly change her ? She cares more about Dina being pregnant. I'm pretty sure if my father died from getting killed by a group leader happened in front of me I would be absolutely brutal with no remorse towards people. Yet in this Ellie feels bad at points, I mean why ? You embark on a journey with Ellie and Dina who I just couldn't care less for as I have no sentimental value towards Dina and they make love comments towards eachother all the time, even though Joel literally died like 10 hours ago which made me laugh not gonna lie. But it gets better, you play half the game as the main person who killed Joel which is so bizarre, I just don't care about her, why would I ? You killed the main person in the story why would I want to play as them for half the **** story. It's like me playing as robin for half the **** game instead of batman, I just don't care for it. Why you thought of this idea is beyond me. The way the story leads up to Joel and Tommy getting captured aswell is so funny, I mean you have a group that is near your base, and you willingly go back to there hideout like yeah sure okay. If that was the first game, Joel would be like woah woah hold on we don't know them, what are they doing so close to us for. In this one they seem like 2 gullible idiots wanting to get killed. It's just a completely different game, the world doesn't even seem the same in this one, you hardly see tommy, I mean I expected to see abit more of Tommy in this game but still, I don't know anything about him after 2 entire games. That's because he you wanted 2 female leads to be in there instead of it being Ellie and Tommy together getting revenge for Joel's death. Couldn't care for Dina, couldn't care for Jesse, and to be truly honest I hardly care about Elie in this game as she pissed me off aswell with her attitude being more towards loving Dina instead of truly destroying the tribe who killed her father in way. Very poor storytelling. Do not get politics and political views involved with video games EVER!!! Why did you do this ? The game could of had such big potential to be the pinnacle of this generation of games or even next gen of games but I suppose we will never know now. Thankyou Naughty Dog for getting involved in real political world views instead of just sticking to really good storytelling which is what you were all about.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An awesome game. Not just the story, but everything about it, gameplay, art etc. Don't listen to the bad reviews, they are either haven't even played the game and believed in rumours or just seen the trailers, homophobic or upset because the story did not go to the way they were expecting. Again this game is mind blowing. I just think the critic on this game is unfair. Firstly some based it of the trailer and rumors, without even playing the game first, I was expecting for you to play the game first and say something about it. Well I can tell you as I have finished the game it is a masterpiece, everything is the opposite of what they are saying, it's scarier and in fact more emotional than the first game and a lot darker. And just because you didn't like how the story would go as you expect it to be, it does not mean it is bad. I am upset that Joel died (spoiler alert) but his story was pretty much told in the first game. It would have been repetitive if he was to stay longer but it's still would have been interesting how his character would have progressed. The story did went unexpectedly but I believe it was done on purpose, to basically capture the gamers emotions and give the trilogy a new meaning and direction when Last of Part 3 comes out. If your still upset because of rumors, trailers or because the game went on a different direction, then tough sucks to be you. In fact why don't you apply to Naughty dog, and tell the story you want to be told? In the end the game was still able to tell the story the way they want it to be told and they conveyed it perfectly. In fact I love how it was done unexpectedly, it was shocking in a good way. But too sensitive to some people out there who's tied to the characters of the first game. What a bunch of nitwits.… Expand

    I loved the 1st one and I really had no expectations for this one aside from a decent story, characters, and gameplay. I had no idea how disappointed I could be. I actually feel like NaughtyDog have a disdain for the fan base and gamers in general. I don't think NaughtyDog plans on making a third, they scuttled the ship just so they could use it's inevitable high sales as a megaphone to virtue signal. The story's not very good to say the least, the characters suck, and I spent half of the game wishing I could play as literally any other character and just wishing it were over. The fun action parts are short lived, and few and far between.
    The 1st game was story and gameplay 1st, then some the Dev's personal beliefs were shoehorned in as an afterthought, much more subtly, and not compromising the legitimacy of the overall game. With this one ideology came 1st and they shoehorned in a few good game elements to tie it all together. This is nothing more than an ideological memoir in the form of a game, and it's so heavy handed about it that it just seems desperate, and maybe even a bit spiteful to fans of the original, and I get the idea that "if u don't like it then your the problem" was on their mind a lot as they made this game. This is mostly a soundboard for NaughtyDog's personal ideology with some good game elements sprinkled in as an afterthought.
    I don't really care who, or what, u are but as character that I'm playing in a game I need to be able to relate with the character, or at least sympathize with them. I don't think I'm alone with this either. Given the majority of gamers are guys I don't think most players will be able to relate to these characters. Who is the target audience of this game then??? Objectively I understand the characters and their motivations, but Subjectively I can't relate to them and I just don't care about most of them and worse yet I don't like most them, despite their best efforts. I just wanted it to end but I kept playing hoping they could somehow still make the story satisfying by the end, but nope... And a good game isn't one that u wish would just end. They jumped the shark so bad Henry Winkle would be jealous.
    I give it a 1/10 because it's leaching off of something great but really doesn't offer anything by itself, other than ideological subversion, and the bones of a great game with great potential that they put a lot of effort into undermining. Most of the good gameplay elements were in the 1st game so I'm not impressed. Bigger levels just make the a terrible story last longer and since there are so few NPC fights your time's mostly spent looking for items. Great graphics and motion capture won't make an ugly duck into a swan, if anything it just gives u a hi res image of how ugly it really is compared to what it could've been. I really wanted to like it but this game is actually pretty terrible imo. If u want to play a good game play the 1st one, I'm gonna replay it just to get the bad taste of this hot garbage out of my mouth.    … Expand

There are certain plot holes, namely with timing (like “how the hell did these people get here in that amount of time” time things), but I can find those mostly forgivable. The main problem is the story is very depressing....The most depressing I have ever experienced in a video game, and in the year 2020, that’s not a good thing. With that being said, it is still an engaging and revolutionary narrative in the way in which it was done, and it will definitely be a different emotional experience on the second play through.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful game and well-written. The characters have great banter which makes them feel much more real, and the game emotionally invests you in the protagonists.
    For the nay-sayers that say the story isn't original, so what? Yes it has the arc of an epic tragedy, but just because you see your car is going to crash doesn't mean it won't hurt less. But the story doesn't focus just on revenge, but what comes after, juxtaposing Abby's redemption and trying to find a purpose in the face of grief and loss.

    To that that think the ending doesn't make sense/is anticlimatic, etc- rewatch the final scene with Joel, understanding the implications of his actions, and Ellie's response, and its implications for Ellie and Abby.    … Expand

    "You think I'd let you do this on your own" Was this a joke that you made in the trailer? Naughty Dog should be ashamed of what they have done!

    The narrative is extremely bad... If you start with Abby's storyline and after she kill Joel switch back to Ellie's revenge till final forgiven. This will make the plot much more reasonable. Honestly, Joel can die, but who'd like to control a murderer who kills your favour character!!    … Expand

    Definitivamente uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida... no es que no haya juegos que lo superen con respecto a la narrativa y mucho menos jugabilidad, pero es plenamente un juego el cual no me arrepiento haber conseguido, y experimentado gracias a Dios con un mente lo suficientemente abierta para con ello asegurarme de comprender más allá de lo que este juego me quiereDefinitivamente uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida... no es que no haya juegos que lo superen con respecto a la narrativa y mucho menos jugabilidad, pero es plenamente un juego el cual no me arrepiento haber conseguido, y experimentado gracias a Dios con un mente lo suficientemente abierta para con ello asegurarme de comprender más allá de lo que este juego me quiere hacer entender. Como dije, este juego no es perfecto, y algunos de los factores que hacen que no lo sea para mí,, es el orden de los eventos acontecidos en la historia, siento que la estructura que se planteó para el videojuego no fue la correcta por lo que el juego no fue del agrado de una gran parte de las personas que lo esperaban con ansias (Aunque igualmente iba a existir un grupo que a pesar de todo odiría el juego sin importar absolutamente nada). Por otro lado, quieren darte a entender la diversidad en cuestión de preferencias y personas con diferentes perspectivas sobre sí mismos que existe dentro de los establecimientos de la desarrolladora al momento de crear el juego, mas lo llegué a sentir, no relevante, mas si parcialmente forzoso el tema de la cuestión inclusiva. Pero por todo lo demás, considero que es un juego que te da justo lo que no esperabas de la secuela de esta grandiosa historia, y es justamente lo que YO esperaba, al enfatizar con esto, quiero decir que no quiero estar de repente hablando por todos, si no que es mi opinión, como yo veo el juego, y cómo no decepcionó para nada, porque después de el primer título, esta era la secuela que necesitaba, más cruda, más brutal, más gráfica, más sangrienta, menos melosa, y más realista.… 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]
