    Naughty Dog has once again raised the bar. When the dust settles this will be looked at as an achievement in gaming and one of the best of this generation.

    I truly believe that if you like survival games and really go into this game with an open mind you will enjoy it (especially if you happened to remain spoiler free)

    *Also just a reminder, a lot (if not all) of the ratings that are 0 and 1 were posted within the first 6 hours of the game being out and are just people that review bombed the game and had haven't actually played it first, or had just seen the leaks and made assumptions without playing it first.
    (A lot of them also say the game has a polical agenda and if you like it you are just a dumb sjw *in other words it's people that are homophobic or against feminism*) so baisically the real user rating is probably around 7/10 or 7.5/10*

    One of the most complex videogame stories ever told.
    The Last Of Us Part II makes you feel all kinds of sensation. The story of this game requires reflection so that there is a clear understanding of why each character acted in the way shown, and I believe that this is the reason why many people did not like it.

    The pros of TLOU2 are that compared to its predecessor the gameplay has improved, the graphics are better than ever and there are some fantastic cinematic pieces, all in all those aspects are objectively good, however where the game fails so spectacularly is the main crux of the success the first game enjoyed, the story.

    With all this new technology and moderate gameplay improvements (but no one really played for the gunplay tbh) it had set the stage to completely outshine its legacy and create a true game of the year or even decade, all of its hard hitting emotional scenes fall flat or worse, induce a feeling of dis-satisfaction and disappointment, the relationship between the players and the characters was handled with utter contempt, with no saving grace between them, if we can even call them the same characters, many of them do not act consistently and often jump to irrational and illogical decisions that have been shown repeatedly to be against their entire backstory and demeanor.

    I don't know if the original writers were bought back for this game, but i heavily doubt it, TLOU was not a game that can stand up based on its gunplay alone, 80% of its core was a compelling story with relatable and consistent characters, its successor needed to be handled with the utmost care and tact, of which it failed to the point that im not sure if they were even trying, i feel bad for the coders and programmers that poured so much of their heart into it, because that does show, the writing team had failed the game, the company and their co-workers, its madness that no one tried to pull them up on it.

    What the **** did I just play?

    I just finished this avalanche of excellence, this Mariana trench dive into the most obscure aspects of human nature, this monument to detail, craft, and unparalleled storytelling.

    The Last of Us II is the new measuring stick for videogames; the depth of the characters is surpassed only by the stunning game art and uncompromised graphics. The game's detail and clarity take the PS4 Pro hardware to its limit; you can often hear the machine redlining, struggling to keep up. I, too, struggled to keep up along it, facing a riveting story of vengeance, hate, and rage, a true tour de force of purposeful violence that would give Tomas de Torquemada a run for his money.

    I believe this game is the best I have ever played and might be the best created. Finally, I will say that players' negative reviews are precisely why expert critics exist, to praise art and excellence when commoners simply cannot recognize it. Only fools would not know this game for what it is, a 10/10 magnum opus that stands alone, at the top, with no peers.

    I was anticipating this game since a lot of time, and loved the first one, but even though the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay satisfying, the story is horribly written, with characters that are definitely forgettable, and some decisions that don't make any sense.

    For the most part, I am enjoying The Last of Us: Part II but it is sadly not my Game of the Year for 2020.

    To begin with, Naughty Dog pushes the PS4's hardware to the limit as the game looks absolutely amazing (played on PS4 Pro) with beautiful, realistic environments, fantastic lighting and life-like characters. The inclusion of a photo mode is a great addition.

    The game play has improved, with new abilities such as jumping, climbing and going prone to crawl. These additions are not ground breaking or unique and we have seen them in other games before, but their inclusion does improve the overall experience, especially stealth. The combat and stealth mechanics work well and I had a lot of fun with the stealth segments.

    I also appreciate that pills, or supplements, used to buy new skills and upgrade abilities, becomes more common to find, especially considering that now, you have access to multiple skill-trees. The environments are also quite large, offering multiple paths and optional areas to explore. The music is also a delight, a mix between calm and beautiful, to eerily uncomfortable.

    The characters are all performed well by their respective actors, and while the overall story is competent, it is not nearly as strong as the previous Last of Us, released in 2013. I find that, despite some of the performances, I just did not care at all about some of the characters.

    My biggest problem with The Last of Us: Part II was that the A.I. partners would frequently get in my way, disallowing me the ability to move where I needed to go. This was especially frustrating in hostile environments, such as trying to hide from an enemy about to spot me (one of my A.I partners would be blocking the path), or when I tried to seek cover, an A.I partner may unintentionally block me from cover, resulting in me being seen, getting shot etc. This wouldn't normally be that annoying, or maybe I'm just unlucky, but it happened in almost every combat encounter I experienced, when I had an A.I partner with me.

    The game is quite lengthy, averaging anywhere from 20 - 30 hours to complete, depending on your chosen difficulty, how good you are at the game, and if you're using guides or not. This is kind of a good and kind of a bad thing. Some people may appreciate the longer time, giving them more of a story they might enjoy, while some might feel that the game can overstay its welcome at times and become repetitive, which is what I found. I like long games, but with formula of The Last of Us: Part II, it might be a little too long for my taste. It's also a massively sized game, a physical copy of the title comes on two discs, a data disc and a play disc, and the install for on a PS4 is 95GB, so you better free up some space r get yourself an external hard drive.

    There is also a New Game Plus mode, which allows you to replay the game with all of your acquired weapons, weapon-upgrades and skills, albeit the difficulty will be slightly increased higher to accommodate for your advantage.

    I think The Last of Us: Part II is a good game and I don't believe it deserves all the hate it's receiving, but I also don't agree with fans claiming that it's the perfect game. It's pretty good, but it's sadly not mind blowing. I thought the first game was incredible and it was certainly my favourite game of 2013, so perhaps my expectations for this game were a little too high.

    If you're a fan of The Last of Us, and/or if you enjoy action games with stealth, then you'll probably like this.

    My score: 8 out of 10.

Conclusión: si estás aquí y quieres comprar el juego y tienes dudas, hazlo, ni te deje llevar por las notas falsas que le están dando al juego, es un juego de mínimo una nota 8 en adelante, no le di 10 por qué conserva algunos aspectos que mejorar .

The idea of knowing another perspective playing as Abby is just astonishing, you start hating Abby in such a way that you can't control to wish her death, but you can realize that she isn't a bad person in such context, she was just trying to fulfill the same objective as Ellie's actual objective.

    I just want to start by saying i did not really enjoy this game but i can respect people that do and i understand why they do.

    I know im in the small minority of people that dislike this game in this reddit and I'm not a ND bootlicker or a hate trend follower.

    yes i finished the game.

    Before starting i have to clarify I don't care about race or sexuality, its sad i have to do this but as ive seen on all these subreddits people just blatantly calling people every phobic name in the book for voicing an opinion. For me personally, I felt shattered after finishing the game and not as in "It was an amazing 10/10" way but as in a"I wish this was never made because now i cant sleep" kind of way, TLOU came out when i was 13, It was a very sad time in my life as i had lost so many loved ones and i was really not in a good place, but with TLOU i could really connect to the characters and the world, in some sense, they felt like a family to me. I know its weird because they're not real but i felt like I've lost something that i never had, I feel a true sense of misery, some might say i hate the game because there is Women or because of lgbtq or that im stupid but the truth is, i had to force myself to finish the game, I didnt want to go forward because i knew what was at the end, some of you might say "Thats what ND wanted you to feel!" but in all honesty, i felt these things because the characters that i knew and loved that saved my life in a time of darkness were no longer themselves, they were no longer what made them great, many will ridicule me and put me down for this but as a person who has learnt a lot of morals and lessons from a video game, it hurts seeing it happen, some decisions and dialogues are so out of character it hurt to watch and it felt that the writers just made them say/do these things so the story kept moving forward, I just didnt want to play anymore, it wasnt the gore, or seeing Ellie become everything she hated, It was the lack of choice and the meaningless killing that amounted to nothing, I dont know if i will ever play this game again, it hurts just looking at the disk and seeing her face, i truly loved these characters and now i feel nothing, as if there is no hope. The game isnt a zero but it certainly isnt a ten.

    In my opinion the game is a reflection of this quote from Ellie.

    "...Okay..."

    5.3/10

    I really wanted to love this game so badly but i just can't, I wish i had never seen it, I wish it had never been made. The ending, (though many people will surely post their many metaphorical assumptions about it) sealed the deal for me.

    And so I've dug two graves,

    one grave for TLOU2 and the other for me.

    For now, I dont know what to do, i feel an insatiable sense of sadness on coming.

    Ill leave these final quotes that i remember everyday from Ellie.

    "Everyone I Have Cared For Has Either Died Or Left Me. Everyone…Except For You."

    "Let's See, Scorpions Are Pretty Creepy. Ummm, Being By Myself. I'm Scared Of Ending Up Alone. What About You?"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Putting all the Leaks aside, this game just didn't get up to the standard it should've provided after 7 years of waiting.

    The first game, made you fall in love with the synergy of Joel & Ellie, made you feel like these 2 characters cannot be seperated and are bonded together together in a post apocalyptical world.
    This game completely butchers it.

    There is no Character Love in this game.
    Im not even exaggerating with this review, the game just makes everyone lose who took the first The Last of Us as a baseline.

    Here a quick Summary :
    The Graphics are really astonishing
    The gameplay overall is not bad, but very repetitive.
    The Puzzles are sadly very ... boring, especially considering how much you can do with the enviroment in videogames nowadays.
    Despite many people claiming that the game is badly reviewed because of the Lesbian action going on with Ellie, i dont think this is an issue and never has been an issue in the first place.
    Every other TLOU game has pretty damn good reviews despite us all already knowing that Ellie is not Heterosexual.
    Abby kills your favorite Character in the Story, Joel pretty early on in the game, and then tries to sympathize you with her for an insane 10+ hours.
    Noone with the last braincell would say "yes, this is a good idea, lets kill the favorite character, and lets make us play her for half the games duration".
    There are also so many plotholes in this game, that it just gets so stale and boring after some time, unbearable.
    The simple actions Ellie takes in this game make no sense whatsoever either.

    Overall, the Storywriting in this game and the *very badly* designed and repetitive gameplay made this game a 2/10 for me personally.
    As much as i want to like this game, it behaves like an abusive Relationship.
    You *want* to like it, but it hurts you every single time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing gameplay, awesome story. I understand where everyone’s frustration comes from but I loved the game. Playing as Abby in the second half made me realize that she wasn’t the enemy, she’s a good person who did a bad thing that could easily be justified. Ellie did much worse throughout the first half of the game. Naughty dog could have easily given another journey for Joel and Ellie that further built their relationship but I’m glad they didn’t.

    Será Amada u Odiada

    Ufff... The last of us part 2 si que fue polémico y solo por no ser muy complaciente con el fans, es una joya como videojuego y les explico el porque, es por lo técnico que se destaca Nauthy Dog y en eso implica ésto: En gameplay, escenarios, sonido, el cuidado al detalle y el de los combates, la brutalidad en modo de batalla, en explotar al máximo que puede tener una consola como la PS4 (Aunque le falta cosas por pulir tuve algunos Bugs y bajadas de Frames, pero seguramente fue por explotar al máximo al PS4) en cuestión de cosas técnicas es una jodida joya. El problema real recae en la historia, cuando Naughty Dog hace un Uncharted 4 dónde si disonancia Ludonarrativa es bastante evidente (la incoherencia de como actúa y lo que hace para no sonar mamador xd) una historia como The last of us te sabe hasta saber mal a la mente, el mayor problema que veo es que no es complaciente para sus fans, no es uncharted 4 dónde te deja un final complaciente y todo perfecto, este tipo de historia desafía al ti mismo y a tu persona si es que no estás acostumbrado a este tipo de historias dónde hablan del conjunto y no solamente del personaje sino lo que construye el por ello de todo lo que fue y existe dentro del universo del juego, y haber una disonancia con el público del juego pasado y sobre las personas que proyectan de lo era realmenteel mundo de The last of us y lo que realmente quiso explicar y contar Neil Druckman. Ellos siempre trataron de mostrar el reflejo humano con las consecuencias midiante las circunstancias bastante extremas de un mundo casi acabado, lo salvaje que seríamos por sobrevivir y que no importe que lado estés, no existe un lugar correcto ni persona buena o mala del todo, solamente las circunstancias y sobrevivir es lo que nos hace las personas que somos.
    Y sobre todo el mensaje más importante de la historia es: La venganza solo te destruye poco a poco por dentro y hasta de lo que más no quisieras

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1. Graphics and combat/controls are actually really good. Same with acting; these departments shine when compared with... the rest. 2. Story is actually terrible and the characters make choices that they would not make. These new devs clearly don’t care about the old protagonists and just wanted to do their own thing. 3. Killing off Joel and then making the player play a character they hate for 10 hours is just about the worst development choice I can think of. AND making you attack the protagonist with a character everyone hates! What?!

    4. The “revenge is bad” trope doesn’t work at all because the people who do get revenge get off scot-free while Ellie (who does not get revenge) loses her fingers, girlfriend (?) and kid. 5. I’m fine with the sjw stuff in most games, but it is VERY clear that the new devs shoehorned in as many minorities they could. This becomes apparent when you find out who worked on this game and not the first. The main problem with this it is an easy cop-out for people complaining about legitimate reasons. Already you see articles popping up about “review bombing” from the “evil gamers”. No, the story is **** and the devs are hiding behind a wall of identity politics.

    6. Compared with the first, (no exaggeration) this is the worst fall in storytelling I have ever seen. Even the Star Wars sequels weren’t this bad. 7. Perhaps the seediest thing I have seen the Naughty Dog do is OBVIOUSLY pay/give benefits to “professional reviewers.” There is no way in hell that this many reviewers gave 10/10s when the fanbase hates the game this much. I have lost a ton of respect for both Naughty Dog and these game journalists. Conclusion: 5/10. Pros: Graphics are great! Acting is great! Gameplay is the same as the first!
    Ellie flashbacks are bittersweet but well made (because no Abby)

    Cons:
    Bad story
    Killing Joel in a disingenuous way
    Playing as Abby Terrible ending
    Pointless minority pandering

    Overall, probably the most disappointing game I have ever played. I am truly let down, especially with all the resources Naughty Dog had. 7 years and a killer first game. DO NOT PLAY, I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS CANON. TLOU ENDS AT THE END OF THE FIRST

    Incredible visuals and music can't make up for a complete lack of skill in writing. The story is unbelievable, full of plot holes, often depraved in failed attempts at adding shock factor and spits on the legacy of the original. A painful game to experience.

The story isn't for everyone--I have to admit, I had some complaints while playing--but I warmed up to it, and, in the end, I loved it more than the first installment. It forces the player to understand and sympathize with the person who wronged Ellie, and it does a fantastic job of making you care for both the protagonist and antagonist. Another thing is that Ellie is a fantastic lead character. The way she fights is desperate and brutal, and it really adds to her persona as a total badass. Anyone complaining about an "SJW agenda" is just immature and needs to realize that gay people exist and that they're normal people. So I recommend this game more than anything for its story because that is the most important part of the game, but I don't think the wild twists and turns will please everyone. Its visuals, combat, and cinematic scenes make it worthy of a purchase in opinion, though. Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
