    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the game is terrible, its much worse then the Original.
    almost all the leaks before release were correct yet there were people going around saying that none of the leaks were true.
    the story is written AND structured poorly.

    if your gonna kill a major character you need to do it correctly, if ND had done it halfway through it would have been better. They also needed build Abbys backstory and motivations on why she would want to kill Joel BEFORE not AFTER. because of this ALL of Abby's gameplay sections are boring/unmotivating

    the ending is extremely unsatisfying since Abby wasn't killed or at the minimum injured severely only Ellie (who lost the last thing that connected her to Joel, being able to play Guitar).

    the entire message of the game is "revenge cycle is bad" but this game doesn't do that troupe any justice at all. there's significantly better stories/anime/games out there with this exact plot point that do it better then TLoU2.

    DON'T BUY.

    Great Game! Naughty really showed what a great kind of Developers they are. U can love the Storytwists or you can hate them but for me this game is unique and my GOTY 2020.
    I have always empathized with the characters and have always been able to put myself in them well.

This game undoubtedly came into my hands and I had all the expectations set and then they were not in vain, I leave with a taste in my mouth that no other game had ever left me, it is already my favorite game and I dare say that for My taste is catapulted above its predecessor, I do not intend to try to feel like a critic like all the internet trolls who say that history is rubbish but if I share that this game caused me different feelings, even those found, from the fact of the human nature to seek justice (revenge) in the face of a traumatizing fact that is lived, up to the compassion, forgiveness and repentance generated by the fact of being able to take revenge by your own hand and not being able to do it because your conscience tells you that it is not the right thing. I think that's what the story is about or at least that transmitted to me, I am happy and because you did not ask here is my brief opinion of this that more than a game is a great experience.… Expand

    A dark, depressing game that will not be for everyone, but is purely character focused and makes you appreciate that there's 2 sides to every coin. There's some pacing issues but the story is great, and the gameplay feels fresh and fun, as well as some of the best graphics on console right now

    I came away from the game just feeling sad. Not because of the heavy handed guilt trip that is put on you by forcing you to kill characters and then trying to make you feel bad, but because it doesn't really make sense. All of this pain and anguish for what? To torture characters and motivate me? Motivation is pointless when a couple of hours later the game works overtime to destory that motivation and just make you confused and leaves you just wanting to leave the situation. I don't think this story is putting across what they thought it would. I just felt extremely let down by the reactions characters have when just before the cut scene we were murdering dozens of people and animals. Maybe an action game where you are required to kill isn't the place to force shame onto the player for playing the game.

    The other parts of the game are great. It is one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen and the acting in most of the game is fantastic. The story just ruins the overall experience and the legacy of the first game and destroys any desire that I would have to play through it again. I wish they would have done things differently. I really do.

    Overall it made me sad and made me disinterested in any further Last of us titles. The investment that I had in that world and the characters is gone.    … Expand

    Legitimate garbage mate. The story is not coherent with the messages of the last game and why it was important to think on your actions. In this you you just chase down an antagonist and then decide not to kill “her” anyways because ReVeNge BAd.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The 8/10 isn't swayed by anyone elses score or the overall rating. (For comparison I rated Last of Us part 1 as a 9/10.)... I think it's not okay to rate a game 10/10 just to try and raise the overall score because others rate it 0/10 to sabotage. Two wrongs don't make a right.

    So here we go: I fully admit that this game is a very long, very emotional rollercoaster.
    It will not be for everyone, that much is very certain. There were events in the game's story I didn't like. But all of the story feels like something I can believe. The people in it are, just like in the first one, very authentic feeling people. They aren't perfect, or absolutes. They don't always have the same mindsets, as their moods can change, they don't have perfect lines that feel scripted. It flows very similar to life.

    So when many say that the characters act untrue to themselves; well... I never felt like there was one specific way the characters acted in the first one either. Even Joel went (in the first one) from "I don't care why you are being transported" to offering guitar lessons. But in this one, people are absolutely shaped by the events of the last one.. and the events of this one.

    Hell, on some bad days I can be a complete douche and act on mood and emotion, while most days I make my decisions based on reason. Same with these characters. That's why the writing holds up very well to the first one. I would have hated the characters to be reduced to "stereotypes of Joel and Ellie from the first one" a whole lot more.

    If at any point you stop playing when it hits you with the lows (like the anger you WILL feel if you're invested at all) you will end up loathing the game. Early in the game I had to stop and.. recover overnight to keep going. Later on in the game I thought I was at the ending and felt very put off and didn't want to keep going right then. But I opened my mind again, let the rest of the story come around and... it did wrap up more satisfyingly. NOT in a perfectly traditional ending though. It's ... anything but a complete answer. Or completely satisfying. But I think it left me with just as much food for thought than the first one. After all, I hated the ending of the first one right after it had happened. But the more I thought about it, the more I found beauty in it. In the plot going for something that's not a "given" cliché that every story should have done, but a very human ending instead.

    If you adopt a mindset by an event in the game (or pre-determinately hate the game after seeing the leaks for example) and won't stay open to any further storytelling, close your mind from giving the game any more chances, that's it; Your mind IS made. You've decided. I encourage going on, as though we aren't used to games making us feel outraged, disgusted and sad ON PURPOSE, you ARE supposed to be feeling those feelings. There-in lies the beauty of what the game does.

    You insisting on the other person being the bad guy is EXACTLY what the characters are feeling. They do not want to hear or know the other persons reasons. They will not entertain the idea that the other person was just like them, on their revenge. But the game's plot asks us to do so, forcing us to play as the person we do not want to identify with at first. We don't want to hear Abby out, give her any room, hear her reasons. "F her"...
    But if we do hear it out, there's a moment in the game where Ellie has actually done more bad to her, than the supposed "villain of the game" has done to her.

    In the end, they will both find some forgiveness in them... but their revenges cost both of them a whole lot more than they would have lost if they had just let it go. But they couldn't. It wasn't an option and they needed closure.

    "If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself" they sang. Ellie did lose herself for a long while. For Joel losing Ellie's was the only thing he had feared in the past 25 years and while he selfishly decided on not losing her, to a potential vaccine, he did end up "losing her" in trust... but was about to maybe be forgiven. If he hadn't perished before it, because of the actions that he took to people in the first one. People, who also had their loved ones they would do anything for.

    It's a fantastic set of 2 games that made me think a whole lot about human psychology and mental health when faced with trauma. Not many post-apocalyptic stories touch on what such events would do to a mind.

    The polish, worldbuilding, acting is all top notch.

    The reasons I rate it lower than the first one, aren't really so much in the plot, but pacing.
    The first one felt a lot tighter as a storytelling package. Idk how the many pieces of this one would have been re-arranged better, but at times if felt disjointed. Especially when "starting again" as Abby after going so far with Ellie. The content that's there works though, but might've benefitted from taking turns between the two or.. idk. No deal breaker for me though.    … Expand

Still even after the bad story, unlikable characters, and political themes (that last seems to be getting into everything nowadays) I was going to give this a 3/10, however the producers of this game did a few things, some of which was illegal. They struck down and copyrighted multiple Youtubers not for showing leaked game play, footage, or images but for merely talking about it. Call people names and accusing them of being horrible things for merely disagreeing with you is already crossing the line but this?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II is by far, the most unique, deep, and touching game I've ever played. It's far from being a perfect game but even when it lacks logic and goes around what fans liked about the first one, the absolute perfect gameplay, storytelling, and profoundness that NaughtyDog is known for always comes through. I found myself slightly disappointed with a lot of twists in the story and gameplay decisions (playing as Abby for example), but the way the game surrounds you with emotion, dilemma, and outstanding level design really makes most of the problems I had with the story worth it. I had a tough time figuring out how I felt while playing the game, I wasn't sure if I was liking it or not, but when I saw the end credits and my reflection on the black background, I realized they've done it again. As polarizing as this game is, NaughtyDog reaffirms itself as the best Triple-A developer there is today. The Last of Us Part II goes beyond political and social statements. The vengeful, obsessive and immersive story alongside the best graphic and level design I've experienced in a long time, come together to deliver an all-time must play and so far, the game of the year.… Expand

    Gameplay

    The game is far from perfect, even story wise, but first let's see the technical aspects. The gameplay is virtually unchanged from the first part of the game. That's a 7 year old title, which wasn't exactly ground breaking even then. I haven't seen a QTE in a game for a long time,

    However there are improvements to the gameplay, but mostly just streamlining. I could play this more effectively than the first one, the stealth seems more smooth and predictable. And in most encounters you can actually choose if you take down all enemies or stealth through, both approaches are effective.

    The gameplay doesn't get boring, because it is broken up by cutscenes, and slower segments of exploration. And on top of that the game switches between multiple playable characters that have slightly different abilities. There are also occasional flashback sequences.

    What I found most annoying is the constant shortage of resources. And it's not the availability of resources in the environment, but the fact that you can't stock up on things. Your ammo carrying capacity is limited to 6-10 bullets / weapon. That is ridiculously low. And you can only carry 3 of each crafting material, when many of the materials are shared between multiple craftable items.

    The gameplay is solid even if a bit disappointing in terms of there being no new mechanics at all. The combat difficulty setting is quite meaningless, as the hardest part of the game is when you fight monsters that instakill you. And there is no difference in that whether you play on hardest or easiest. So the game is not "journo easy" to say the least.

    The technical aspects

    There are areas where the game made huge leaps. Namely character animations. This game has the best animations, facial and otherwise that I've seen in anything. It seems to me that they made the leap where people's muscles are actually simulated, I mean the body parts are not rigid, but change their shape depending on movements and actions, as the muscles contract and relax. I have not seen that in any other game to date.

    The graphics is up there with the best, but not actually the best. I think in terms of characters Detroit Become Human still has it beat, and in terms of the environment Ghost Recon Breakpoint is superior. But this one is not far behind, and of course this is great in both the environment and the characters, so not just a one trick pony like those games.

    The Story

    Oh this is the hard bit to judge without specifics. First thing first: I could not detect an ounce of SJW influence in the game, or feminist frequency for that matter. The writing is not suffering like in the case of XCOM Chimera Squad, the characters aren't quota mandated, or defined by their gender. There is no dunking on men, or proclaiming of female superiority or any trans sex for that matter.

    There is nothing to fear unless you are disheartened by the mere inclusion of a strong female character. And strong in this case means physically strong.

    The main focal point of the story is trying to humanize the enemy. Which funny enough I was contemplating in my review of the first Last of Us, that the bad guys are always portrayed as psychopaths or sociopaths in these stories and it made no sense to me. Well that changes here and now. As we see the story playing both sides. In fact in my case, and I may be alone in this, the roles were completely reversed. I was actually rooting for the supposed anti-hero.

    The first 20 hours of the game was pretty amazing, I enjoyed the hell out of it. But we should've left things as they were in Seattle. If the story stopped right after that I'd have named this game of the year. But no, they had to just keep dragging it on, and on, and on. This is a clear case where less would've been more.

    Everything that happens after Seattle feels rushed, there are huge leaps in time and space, that make zero sense. It's as if they suddenly cancelled The Last of Us 3 and quickly slapped the key points of it's proposed story arc to the end of this game. I hated that bit, for being so depressive.
    Final thoughts

    This was a roller coaster alright, unfortunately one that just slid off the tracks at the, instead of coming to a graceful stop at a station. That said however I wouldn't have missed the first 20 hours of the game for any reason.

    I know this is advice that is impossible to keep, but you are better off quitting the game after Seattle and never finishing it. It would've been better for me for sure. I feel miserable now. I felt hopeful at that point. But the fact that I feel miserable is a kind of testament to the quality of writing. My subconscious cannot tell that these are fictional characters, and I feel awfully sorry for them, even though my conscious mind knows it's not real.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who considers TLOU Part 1 to be one of my favorite games, I was eagerly anticipating Part 2. I did not read any spoilers prior to playing the game. Here are my humble thoughts...

    This game will chew you up and spit you out by the end of it. It is a slap to the face, on purpose. When Joel died so suddenly, without even being able to interact with him in game, I was shocked and puzzled, like many people. Luckily, throughout Ellie's side of the story, there are flashbacks to memories that she had with Joel in years prior. These helped me see that even though Joel was dead, he was still with us. Nevertheless, I hated Abby and her friends, and relished the chance to hunt them down and kill them for what they had done. Another slap to the face happens near the middle of the game, when you suddenly must play as Abby. I could tell that the game was trying to get me to like her and see things from her side, but I still hated her. I told myself I was not going to have empathy for her. However, that did not go as planned. This story is complex and multifaceted. I realized that Abby and Ellie were both justified in their paths to revenge and closure. There is no good vs evil, hero vs villain, right vs wrong. Abby's experience with two young Seraphites wakes her up to the reality that she has lost herself, and when given the chance to exact revenge on Ellie for killing her friends, she instead spares her life, for a second time. This breaks the cycle of revenge. When Ellie hunts her down once more in order to find her own closure, she cannot go through with killing her. We are left to question what we would have done in these tough situations... And we are left to question whether it was all worth it.

    Overall, it was an emotionally compelling and gripping story, coupled with game play so brutal it made me feel dirty and squeamish. It is something that I am grateful to have experienced.    … Expand

    From a narratological point of view, the story is well put and got me on an emotional rollercoaster: from hate to fear, from joy to sadness... I had goosebumps and sometimes teary eyes because I was emotionally overloaded.

    Now, don't get me wrong: I can see why the some players may be disappointed about the story (although barely any of them provide objective reasons). However, I thought it was revolutionising to some extent. In no game have I ever been so incredibly immersed and empathetic for both the prototypical 'good' and 'bad' side. In one of the last scenes, I actually heard myself saying "She didn't deserve that.* and for a moment, I was left with pure disgust towards the main character the overarching discourse of such games wants me to feel sympathetic towards. They way they got me invested emotionally was just unbelievably well done.    … Expand

    Now yes, first I want to say that the game is graphically beautiful in all its aspects, it has almost no errors, the game mechanics seems excellent to me, I would have liked to have polished the topic of jumps a little more but nothing from the other world, In addition I also loved the model of the characters in the game, they seem real people, each damage or each bullet can be seen reflected in our skin as in that of the enemy, now, what things did I not like about this second part? In the first place, I didn't really like the plot holes that can be found in the game, another thing I don't like is the end given to the bone game, how the **** do you let the woman you followed through the whole damn game escape? , Another thing that I did not like was the stupid death of Joel, bone, he is a person with you play in the first part and at the time of the game they are already killing you, what the hell were the writers thinking ?, Now to conclude my perfect ending would have made Ellie kill Abby and with her last strength Lev could kill Ellie, thus showing that revenge is bad whether you are good or bad in history.    … Expand

I bought collectibles, books, a comic and Joel's watch. I couldn't get enough. I adore these characters and I didn't know what to expect with this game other than that it would be an incredible story, I adore Naughty Dog's games and their creativity and guts. I started playing this game on day one and finished two days later. It was an incredibly emotional journey for me, someone who adores these characters and had to do things in this game that I didn't want to do. At first, I didn't know how to feel about everything, but after sitting with my thoughts especially after I had finished, I am still blown away by the story and more and more I appreciate it. I want to explain how this is a fantastic game without analyzing the plot to show how most of the hate towards it is unfair, because I think the story while bold and unexpected was brilliant and well-executed. So instead I want to focus on how the game made me feel. Some parts absolutely melted my heart. Some broke my heart. And others made me question if I needed a break, either I really didn't want to do what I had to in order to continue or I needed a break from the jump scares because this game definitely got a lot more intense and terrifying than the first. I think not everyone is going to love this game, for sure, no game this intense is for everyone, but I think it's incredibly unfair to say that anything ruined it. This game forces you to think very deeply about yourself, the way you see people who have hurt you and even these characters we love and are hesitant to see in a poor light. No one is perfect and this game shows that in clever and important ways. I'm going to play it again probably tonight now that I've taken a couple days to sit with my initial shock and process it, because it is very heavy content but wow will it stay with me forever. I am so proud of everyone at Naughty Dog who made this the emotional and beautifully intense game that it is, especially the incredible voice/mo-cap actors and Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross who didn't back down from the hate and made the story they wanted to make, that deserved to be made. I wouldn't judge anyone who just didn't care for the story overall or didn't love new mechanics or the pacing perhaps but I really think that anyone who wants to leave a bad review should make sure they play the game fully, process it and leave the characters' backgrounds out of it because while I love these new characters and think that Ellie living as her authentic self are fantastic, this is a story about so many different people who never make it into games like this and them existing is not some sort of agenda, a vendetta to bomb a game simply because they exist in it is. Anyways, I implore everyone to give this game a shot and see what you think. I value it so deeply and while so much of it is hard and saddening content because, well, their world is hard and saddening, every day I think of the parts that melted my heart over and over again and that keeps a smile on my face. New Game + here I come. :) Cheers!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having completed the game (29 hours and 40 minutes), I can say that this game has the potential to be one of the greatest of all time. It is a very HARD story, but it is a very powerful and moving story.

    People who hate this game hate it because:
    A) They think it carries some political Agenda (It does not)
    B) They are angry that Joel got killed thinking that either he didn't deserve it (if you play the game, you understand why Abby killed him...and you would do it to) or that his death was "wasted," I disagree, Joel was not a nice man, he had more than enough red on his ledger over his life and he had to know there were probably at least a dozen people who had the motivation to kill him, but his death, as brutal as it was, was the catalyst for this game.
    C) They didn't get the "revenge" they wanted....and thereby missed the whole point of the game. The Revenge cycle destroys everyone who participates, willingly or unwillingly. They both lost nearly everyone that they cared for, but in the end, Ellie salvages her humanity.

    This game makes you see and experience the humanity on both sides. You experience the humanity and inhumanity of each. No one is innocent in this story and there is no happy ending, at least not in the traditional sense.

    But in the ending cut scenes we see that while Ellie has lost everything, she still has the option to start again and grow. She is not handcuffed to the past. It was a horribly expensive lesson, but it was a lesson she learned and is now able to grow from.

    Yes, it is not a feel good story and it is hard to play at times and it is emotionally gut wrenching at times, but I believe that this sets up the franchise for a fantastic Part III. I believe that TLOU2 will be just like what the Empire Strikes Back is to the original Star Wars Trilogy. A very dark middle that sets up a glorious ending for the saga. And all these "haters" are going to have to eat their words.    … Expand

    You will enjoy this game of you didn't play the first part(last of us)
    But it will be annoying for anyone who played first part
    Maybe it's the point of the game...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is just a train wreck of a game. The story is terrible and poorly written. I was expecting much more because it was mainly coming from Naughty Dog, one of the best story tellers. But, i can clearly see i was wrong because of this game. I'm fine with playing as Abby, but they make her so bad. She kills Joel, one of the most beloved character in gaming history, and then they make you play as her. The thing that makes me so angry is because of the way Joel died and what he did before he died. He saves Abby and then acts dumb. In the first game, he was smarter than in this game. He tells them his name, which ends up getting him killed. And the way they killed him is terrible. He should have had a better death maybe like Arthur Morgan. The last thing that i will complain about this game is that the ending was horrible. Ellie killed all of Abby's friends and when she finally gets to Abby, she lets her go. All this hatred towards Abby and killing all of her friends to find out where she is, to end up not killing her. One of the most terrible endings to a highly anticipated game. I will say though, the game looks stunning and beautiful. The voice actors did a great job, but the game is mainly the same as the first one, but 3 buttons change. Its just the same game play. I will say, I love the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie. They were so much fun and I would just play those segments rather than the whole game. You can tell that the developers put much love into the game, but its ruined by the story. . I also like how there are options for people that have problems with hearing or seeing and such. That makes it so that the game is for everyone. I don't recommend this game to anyone and you could spend your 60 dollars on something that is worth your time.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought the game to see for myself to see how bad it really is. It’s definitely not a 2/10 but a lot of the story doesn’t make sense. Like why make Abby a man’s body with a woman’s head? Why didn’t they just make the Abby character a just a man instead? Why was Joel being so out of character telling strangers who he was? Why would anyone in their right mind let a pregnant woman go on patrol? Wouldn’t it be extremely Irresponsible for Ellie and Dina to live by themselves with a baby? They add in slight lgbt problems and a trans character which normally I wouldn’t mind, but feels slightly out of place for a post apocalyptic world. Gameplay is really impressive but gets tedious and boring when your character is alone scrounging with no companion to banter with. Also definitely not a fan of the ending and where they’re going to take the sequel if they make one.… Expand

    So much greatness in the game's graphics, mechanics, and details. Yet, the story is ruined. I believe it is mainly just to preach on everyone their ideas regarding LBGT, sjw, gays, etc. (It's very clear that they are trying hard to push specific agenda).
    I love naughty dogs and all their games are best in class, but this move was really stupid. I hope they learn from their mistakes.

Naughty Dog really do deserve a slap on the wrist for the way they handled the story, the failed attempts at subversion and the just constant bad decisions they wrote the characters to make. The order in which the story is told is a particularly prominent misstep, as is the presumption that players would warm to some of the new characters even with the way they try to manipulate this. I felt substantial lack of respect for the first game and what it made you feel for Joel and Ellie. If they're going to go another round with Last of Us 3, they need to shuffle around who is leading of the story to try to redeem the series.… Expand

    In a narrative driven game, the story is the highlight of it. This game does not deliver on this front. From out of character decisions, unlikeable characters to cheap tactics of manipulation that barely work.

    It's not even the decision and events early on, that are setting events for the entire game (which in itself, is quite dumb considering the reception) but the execution of it. The failed attempt of the second half of the game and the ending make it unbearable, it even ruined the first entry for me, I'll never be able to go back to it. I had a Dawn of Justice flashbacks during the cutscene. The themes explored are presented so bluntly and often, that in the end you're asking yourself what was this game about? It couldn't be that obvious and left unanswered, because the cliched answer can't be it in The Last of Us? Plus there's a serious case of false advertising it, calling it Ellie's story and naming her the protagonist without mentioning anything else is just plain wrong, it's just MGS2 but bad.
    Other than that, the game has beautiful world, minor improvements to the combat, better levels than the first entry. I think people praising AI just confuse aggressive AI with good AI, since it's still dumb and enemies will line up for you. The score also deserves praise. It would really be fine if it wasn't a sequel to The Last Of Us, like 6/7 out of 10. And please watch the podcast about Neil, Troy and Ashley talking about it. They have no idea what their game is about.    … Expand

    Absolutely disrespected the foundation that was set up by the first game. The first did not need a sequel. I swear in the future imma fix this game by making "The Last of Us Part 3," and making it so that The Last of Us Part 2 was all a dream Ellie was having when she was unconscious in the hospital.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is an interesting take on how feelings influence perception, many people couldn't see past the death of Joel and hated all the game because of this, not to talk about Abby as a character. When Abby and Lev were targeted by a sniper that kept besting them, I really wished to take him down and got angry when he killed Many, only to find out it was Tommy!!

    What people don't get is that even when we love Joel and Ellie, there's always the other version of the story. Ellie became what Abby turned into when she saw her father 4 years ago in that hospital floor, driven by hate and a wish for vengeance. Abby knew it wasn't worth it, she lost everything because of that and then Ellie learned that the same way. Both paths ended the same way but in different times. This story was about loss and acceptance. At least that's what I saw.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1.- La ambientación es muy buena, es realmente sorprendente como los paisajes te envuelven y hacen sentirte que estás ahí, una sensación que gracias a su poderosa calidad gráfica lo lograron, saludo y felicitaciones a los desarrolladores incluyendo por el trabajo artístico..

    2.- La animaciones y físicas de los personajes al momento de interactuar con algún objeto o NPC son exquisitas literalmente el juego se ve de la mas reciente generación, reitero, un trabajo excelente por parte de los técnicos.

    3.- Las misiones son buenas algunas en lo que cabe destacar, realmente es la misma mecánica de "The last of us" su modo de combate y sigilo, al parecer aquí si hubo un copia y pega de su juego antecesor por que realmente todo es exactamente igual sin mejoras ni si quiera en su crafteo de bombas o flechas. En lo que si hubo cambios es en la defensa a mano limpia, literalmente puedes completar el juego sin utilizar armas ya que con tus manos puedes combatir cientos de infectados y ojalá fuera una broma. Las misiones en algunas ocasiones tienden a ser repetitivas ya que es tan predecible que varias veces sabías lo que iba a pasar en ciertas escenas ademas de que las mismas también se repiten constantemente, encontrar balas y materiales en los muebles es lo mas común desde la primera entrega aquí continua exactamente igual.

    4.- Los personajes son totalmente olvidables, específicamente hablando de los amigos de Abby que es la razón por la que la tipa busca matar a Ellie y a quienes la rodea, teniendo así mismos unos agujeros gigantescos en la narrativa, no se sabe absolutamente nada sobre los personajes, no te hace empatizar ni con Abby ni con sus amigos en la media duración del videojuego jugando como Abby por que simplemente no sabes nada de ellos mas que lo superficial que son nacionalidades o personalidad. Han sido varias escenas en que los amigos de Abby realmente están plasmados en la narrativa como verdaderos tontos, hay varias oportunidades que pueden matar a Ellie y deciden esperarse para convenientemente ser salvada por alguien o algo para si mismos acabar muriendo. Lamentables los personajes. exceptuando a quienes ya conocemos Tommy y Ellie.

    5.- La historia solo busca momentos shockeantes para poder proyectar sentimientos al jugador, sin embargo es donde falla miserablemente ya que muchos momentos shockeantes son sobre los amigos de Abby en su mayoría siendo mas de 6 personajes que mueren de manera miserables pero como repito están tan mal estructurados que no te hace sentir una emoción de tristeza ni mucho menos de enojo, solo dándote alegría por quienes mataron a Joel el personaje mas querido de la franquicia, muriendo de una manera horrible a la primer hora del juego, en si hay muchos agujeros argumentales como lo había comentador, Joel en la primera entrega es alguien demasiado cauteloso y minucioso, es una persona que no le importa nadie, mas que Ellie por ser la representación de su hija ya difunta y su hermano por ser simplemente de la familia, en ésta última entrega se vuelve alguien amistoso que se fía de toda persona en una época apocalíptica de una tipa que recién conoce, no tiene sentido el cambio tan drástico de su personalidad, Ellie en un flashback lo odia solo por que le salvó la vida, que sentido tiene esto? Encima busca venganza a quien continuamente estaba rechazándolo y repudiándolo como lo hacía Ellie a Joel, como buscaría venganza si ella estaba despreciando a Joel, para el colmo al final de todo el juego Ellie perdona a quien mató a Joel con un palo de golf, a quien dejó ciego a Tommy, a quien iba a matar a Dina sin piedad estando embarazada, a quien mata a Jesse siendo el padre del feto que tiene Dina en su vientre que es de los pocos personajes con quien generas empatía ademas de Dina y para finalizar le corta 2 dedos a Ellie. Así es Ellie perdona a Abby, la narrativa es mala no por qué la haya perdonado o por el trayecto de la venganza, si no por que cualquier persona que Ellie haya matado sin piedad contando gente inocente, NPCs que seguro tenían mas razón de vida que la propía Abby muertos por una venganza perdonada, ahí se resume la historia, una historia inconclusa que no tiene razón de ser, que todos mueren pero no muere quien realmente lo merece, Abby no tuvo piedad de Joel para matarlo ni mucho menos lo perdonó, pero Ellie si va a perdonar a quien en un principio por su culpa ocasionó que mataran a sus amigos inocentes? Ademas de otra cosa, el jefe del grupo en que está Abby se ve una persona segura, con mucha gente a su poder, cuando Abby lo confronta por ser desertora muere en 5 segundos, como repito la historia es muy mala.

    Así resumo el juego en conclusión, muy buenos gráficos, excelente animación e interacciones, misiones buenas algunas y otras repetitivas, los personajes sin identidad mas que lo superficial y la historia sin razón de ser.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe the story itself is not bad, and is prett well written chronologically speaking. What I think actually botched it was how the two stories of Abby and Ellie were placed. First of all some people said and they were right that Abby should have had more back story, building her relationship with her father. Her backstory has two components, father and boyfriend, and the fathrr bits are the most rushed although her father's death triggers her actions. That makes it hard for people to feel for her. There were a couple of other options to make this better. Make Abby's backstory more consistent. Alternate her's and Ellie's experiences that were happening in paralel. Kill Joel a little later and allow Abby to be built up a little more to that moment. It's not like the fact that Abby is after him is shocking. It's really kinda predictable anyway. Take a quarter of the game.to build more into Dina dn Ellie's relationship, build Abby's past and relationship, and after Joel dies, intertwine their stories a bit. Anyway, I liked the ending and I liked that you get to play Ellie a bit more near the end, and that therr would still be space of going further with a part iii.

    The gameplay is better than the fisrt part, not bu much, but alightly more varied, as are the enemies.

    Image and sound are superb as expected. I did notixe some things that stood out like a sore thumb, like the ocean water in santa barbara which looks lile a glitch in the matrix. I am going to rate this high because it is a very good game, had some mistakes that could have made it much better, on par with the first. But as overall atory it rounds the first one pretty well.    … Expand

    In the first hours of the game, there´s a moment where Ellie enters a synagogue and ecounters a well-know saying: "...it takes but one candle to dispel the darkness." Unfortunately, there isn´t one goddamn candle in sight in TLOU2.

    The only reason i won´t give this game a 0 is because the visuals and graphics are amazing. The rest is just atrocious. It´s almost as if Naughty Dog    In the first hours of the game, there´s a moment where Ellie enters a synagogue and ecounters a well-know saying: "...it takes but one candle to dispel the darkness." Unfortunately, there isn´t one goddamn candle in sight in TLOU2.

    The only reason i won´t give this game a 0 is because the visuals and graphics are amazing. The rest is just atrocious. It´s almost as if Naughty Dog despised the original game and decided to aggravate the fans (like myself). And before you say that it´s unfair to grade a game based exclusively on the story, that´s what Naughty Dog games have always been about - top notch storytelling and visuals made interactive by average gameplay.

    TLOU was first and foremost a story about SURVIVAL. It was the story of how 2 completely different characters found in each other the reason to keep moving on, even in the darkest of days. Joel found in Ellie what he had lost in his daughter, and Ellie found in Joel what she couldn´t have from her mother. It could be bleak and somber at times but it never lost sight of this concept. This connection meant you always had a reason for moving on. And the ending, while not happy nor sad, offered hope and reinforced the quest for SURVIVAL (as mentioned previously).

    TLOU2 completely dismisses its predecessor and serves a depressing tale about selfish revenge, and an endless self-serving cycle of violence that leads nowhere. It tries to vilify those we admire and humanize those we despise. It forcefully lectures the player into believing there are no heroes nor villains, no good or evil and that everything is justifiable. What a major disappointment. The same minds responsible for one of the best stories of the last generation created a sequel with the sole purpose of "getting people riled up". In this instance, they have succeded. In every other, they have failed.    … Expand
