    El juego es hermoso, combinan lo que es realmente el ser humano con un mundo post apocalíptico. Además tiene una narrativa estupenda que parece que tu mismo sientes como se sienten los personajes.
    La jugabilidad es fantástica, te hace sentir más libre.
    Y por último los temas de la trama quedan perfecto con lo que es realmente el juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abby sucks. As a die hard Naughty Dog fan I am truly disappointed. I have been with them since the first Crash release and have bought every single game along with countless amounts of related merchandise because I’ve always loved their gameplay and their stories. From my childhood games of Crash Bandicoot (the whimsical animations, fun level designs, and addictive EVERYTHING), to the incredible Jak series (which Jak 2 was the first game I ever preordered), to the FAN-freaking-TASTIC Uncharted series, I honestly didn’t think it could get any better. Then The Last of Us came out. At first I was skeptical but it truly blew me away and set the standards for the quality of experience I expect from games I buy. Because of this die hard fandom, and love of Last of Us especially, I was PSYCHED for Last of Us part II.... but wow. How let down I’ve been. To see the legacy of such a beautifully crafted story tarnished by its sequel in attempts to cater/pander to the world of 2020 as well as all the trash characters to focus on/develop like Abby. Truly. I am disappointed. I only want to empathize and humanize the enemy in my games/story to a certain extent. That’s why as the bad guy is dying you humanize them in many stories so there’s both a “awww moment” as well as a “get the bad guy!!!” Moment. But to play half the game OVER humanizing the antagonist now makes me question the hero. Which then makes it hard to identify with Ellie because I’m confused and frustrated with Abby. Also, why does Abby have cannonballs for shoulders and moose thighs for arms? Truly, for a game I was so excited and backing, and avoiding all the spoilers that got leaked, I’m so disappointed. I signed the petition asking Naughty Dog To rewrite the story of the game... we shall see I suppose. This is what happens when too many “free spirits” get hired at Naughty Dog and you try to create a piece of art to sell rather than just be inherently good. Yes this is super subjective, but with a 4.6/10 versus it’s predecessor at a 9.1/10, I’d like to objectively point out I’m not the only who thinks it’s garbage.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog sure as heck knows how to tell a compelling story in an oh-so-compelling manner. The Last of Us Part 2 is all the more proof of that. No amount of leaks or spoilers should lead you to judge this game until you actually play and finish it. The studio takes a whole lot of risks and makes numerous bold choices with this one, and frankly they do pay off by the end of the game. Just when I thought they couldn't have made the gameplay any better, ND added a surprisingly great number of subtle and more obvious gameplay improvements that offer you so many different ways to approach combat. Suffice it to say, it is extremely satisfying to take on enemies now than ever before. The facial animations, the acting and voice acting in this game is AMAZING! Honestly, these guys exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. I urge you to hang in there and trust a developer that has NEVER disappointed.… Expand

    Too political.. Political correctness doesn't belong in games.
    Funny thing is that they try to please a certain type of audience that doesn't even play games and they **** on the people that in the end of the day are paying for their jobs.

    Graphics and fluid animations are not enough to justify the price..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Im making this critics not just for the last of us Part 2 but for the way metacritic handle things like this .
    Metacritic has banned with good reason some review who were not really well constructed or even having no critics except it's lgbt and this critics have no place to be about this game .
    But the truth is the game is terrible,no characters enjoyable or even remakable for there place in this story, they even been forget in the games with no mention at all. (except joel,ellie and MAINLY Abby but for the wrong reason) the game is extremely beautiful but that's motsly it, the gameplay is the same wich will not be a big problem if not that people waited 7 long years have mostly the same thing that the first last of us .
    And the game Story is boring,gratuitous in violence and has nothing to offer to people except Shock value content and a morality were the mindset of the character change for the scenario is really low for the what naughty dog have made in the past.
    And the game seem to have been downgrade when we confront the E3 version and to been inferior againts red dead redemption 2 (in graphic and story) zelda breath of the wild (gameplay and engine) and ESPECIALY againt spec ops the line (for violence and the meaning of his story) or even having no choice in the game (like the walking dead telltale series or dishonored 2) is real some miss opportunity for the game to be even better than it's predecesor .
    But the fact that metacritic censored some well review and has been blocking new negative review makes it revolting (with the gaming journalist score of course) some really really sad thing for the great studio that was naughty dog and killing have well writen,loved character in this game with no reason except shock value and killing other npc with no consequence make it a really miss opportunity for naughty dog and the fact that manny great dev have been quiting the studio while the game was been made and the other were forced to to making crunch time for the game to make it deadlines is sad . i really congrats the people who were making graphism,music and character appareance but im not giving my congrats for the people who have made the story,who has falsely make their advertissing over joel and the people who were forced or pay to make great review for the game or they were losing their position.
    For ending this critics i have to say that naughty dog has truly lost the meaning of ''fun'' in video games (like neil druckmann has said) and that whatever their next project is, they have to really working about their employee,their method for making games,and their games because it is that or even with the ''sucess'' or the last of us part 2 they will be like bethesda or bioware.
    Some great studio who lost their passion and originality with too much ego or stress or maybe both of those thing,a great story have been cancel for a very poor story with just a meaningless morality in their own story . (even the last jedi has better quality than this when the movie has just 2h32 hour and the game has 35 hours ,really mediocre )
    i would have give a 5 or a 3 but i give it a 1.
    metacritic is a good site but those kinds of game hurt their name and some good review user are extremely strange to be honest if we have to ban the negative critics with no real meaning we have to ban even the good critics with no real meaning .
    And the game is not even making good lgbt representation in gaming life is strange,mass effect (until andromeda) and even the dlc the last of us left behind were real and memorable .
    And when a true great games make with love and really meaning and choices (im talking about cyberpunk 2077) and that games journalist will give a greater score than this game it will just confirm that they are more honest with a new game made of his own than a game that privilige and the great standing that was the last of us part 1.
    Play lisa the painful a great dark story about consequence,violence and the meaning of life after the worst has been experienced. the game is maybe old (15 december 2014) and has not the beauty of the graphism of the Last of us 2 but the gameplay is more challenging,the story is making you depressed and sad but doesnt let you feel empty like nothing was important and forced but that even after the worst we alway can rise up .Play it it's make a better job letting you sad,scare and depressed than the whole story of the last of us 2    … Expand

The playable aspect and the story are really good, as well as the graphics. There are a lot of good things about this game but there's one thing that I would have liked to see, and that's Ellie and Joel talking before his death. I don't mean the flashback at the end, I mean an explanation of Ellie feelings to Joel. The thing I hated the most was its last trailer. When I saw that Joel was alive I got really happy and excited of seeing Joel and Ellie in action again but when we saw Jesse was the one who appeared, that made me really sad even though I like Jesse as a character. To sum up, a good story with a good message that was a bit underwhelming but still a good game… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can see enjoying this game if you never heard of the first part, but from point of view from someone who waited 7yrs for that its just pure garbage which pains to even write.
    For what it is - stunning graphics i can give it a 2, because thats it.
    Critics are telling you that it is a masterpiece but thats just not true, game lost its charm, not only because what happened to Joel, but also because there is no solid story now, noone wanted to play TLOU for revange, so why choose that direction?
    To the main complain:
    Not only the game gets rid of Joel in first minutes of the gameplay, it also makes you play as his executioner and tries to force you to feel for her, how? Maybe if you didnt kill the the main charcter at the beggining that would be possible, but game doesnt let you.
    If you wanted us to feel anything then maybe kill Joel later, so his death has some actuall weight to it? Let us play with him, let us play as Ellie, let us play as Abby and feel for her, dont just throw away main aspect of the game just for sake of doing so...
    If you buy that garbage - be prepared to waste 10 or 12 hours playing as character that you just want but during that time cant kill.
    Honestly id be more happy to play one of the flashback of Joel and Ellie for 12hrs than playing that thing.
    Even best graphics alone cant make the game good if there is a story not to be found.    … Expand

    it's amazing how they managed to put these graphics on ps4 and improved the gameplay a little with the jump and the option to lie down. but the story sucks it's incredible how they managed to make something like this pass, for the love of god, this story is worth nothing unlike the first

    5 points for graphics, animations, soundtrack mechanics, game mechanics, gameplay. I gave 0 rating since naughty dog is dirty playing by using fake accounts to increase positive feedback.

    Overall a huge disappointment. Seems like either the developers hated the fans OR they hated what they did in part 1 ORR they had some obsession towards Abby.

    Zombies had nothing to do with the game. They were just there for the guns to work and to keep us busy between the cutscenes.
    The game so much wants to teach us about revenge and how killing can ruin a third person Abby's life however throughout the whole game we kill hundreds of people. Do they don't want to take revenge?
    This game desperately tries to teach us female dominance, sexual orientations, jewish religion and culture and abby fettish.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Technically, it's amazing in terms of graphics, animation, environment, music and acting as expected of ND. Rope physics anyone?

    Gameplay has seen some improvement from the first game but not too greatly. Addition of the rope and use of it to travel more vertical environments wasn't used more effectively. I was always pretty meh about the combat even for the first game, it served its purpose. The dodge did add some variety initially but it get a little repetitive, the lengthier playtime didn't help either. While the environments themselves look great, I felt let down by the lack of environmental puzzles. This was a gripe with the first game as well with how it kept using the ladders and garbage carts. ND has shown that they can do much better looking at their Uncharted series, so maybe it was a conscious decision to avoid being too similar or it wasn't a top priority for this game.

    My biggest issue with the game sadly was the story and pacing. What drew me to TLoU has always been the story. This time I feel like they didn't do as good a job as fleshing out the new characters and the relationships. The first game featured a smaller cast of characters centered on the core characters Joel and Ellie. This really allowed us to grow closer to them throughout the game, and they were also supported by a cast of characters that I greatly enjoyed. This time I appreciate that they showcased a more diverse cast, but it also created some difficulty that with the time restraint most of the relationships were not able to be developed to the same extent. In the end I didn't feel much empathy for Abby or any of her friends, and Jesse and Dina were likeable but I needed more relationship development. All my favourite moments in the story were the ones between Joel and Ellie because it built upon an already existing and well developed relationship, while providing insight into the way it has grown and also strained over the course of the years. Their chemistry couldn't be beat by the rest. The new cast of characters had some potential but were not likeable or memorable enough.

    It was interesting what ND tried to do in trying to make players think from different perspectives on our characters' actions and their consequences. It was a good attempt but was wanting in execution.

    The way they tried to frame the story to push that Ellie was becoming the villain and that Abby had some good in her felt cheap and manipulative. In the way where when you are playing as Ellie they force you to kill dogs, murder a pregnant woman then when you play as Abby you play with the dog, save kids etc. (And then you rmb Abby tortures Joel to death with a golf club, and prob would have killed Dina who was pregnant if Lev wasn't there so welp) We can all see what you are trying to go for here but it came on too hamfisted. Even from the first game we knew Joel wasn't a good guy, and his final decision is controversial. But everyone could understand his motives because it was a very human decision that he made in the end. I could understand Abby's reason for wanting to kill Joel because it was a very human motive to want to avenge her father, but her character wasn't developed well enough for me to like her or be fully behind her. I will say though certain portions of the game if viewed as standalones disregarding the story surrounding it were very powerful and masterfully done in terms of atmosphere and execution.

    Pacing wise the game was just too long. It felt really draggy at some parts and certain decisions on the way they cut the game was odd. It does seem like it goes again what was previously stated about not enough time being given to develop all the characters, relationships. Which is why to some extent I do feel like the main plot of this game should have been reserved for a third game, with the second more focused on introducing the new characters and maybe even introducing Ellie to them. It could have the potential to make us feel more conflicted on whose side we would be on had we the opportunity to grow closer with Abby's side.

    This is kind of not related to the game but I have big issues with the way ND marketed the game after playing through it. I understand trying to hide major plot points of the game, other games and movies have also done this before. But tricking people into thinking Joel will be along with you for the journey, or basically hiding the existence of a second main character is like taking subterfuge to a whole nother level. I would even say it is basically false advertising.

    TL;DR Technically amazing, lots of respect to the countless people who worked on this game. Improvements on game play were there but not too big. Dragged down greatly by the story that didn't live up to the first game. Story can be a downfall for a game, especially this franchise that was built upon having a great story in the first place. I will say that my scoring decision had a heavier weightage towards story because of this.    … Expand

    PROS: TLoU2 has great graphics and gameplay, and a lot of effort was put into trying to make the story and new characters convincing (especially via the flashback cutscenes). Developing a game with a great story is not easy, so I still congratulate the Naughty Dog team for their effort.

    CONS: Despite the efforts of Naughty Dog to make its story convincing, TLoU2 is disappointing because its narrative and character development pale in comparison to that of TLoU1. TLoU2 tries too hard to convince the players to love its characters and its message, "Revenge is wrong." Where TLoU1 allowed the message and its characters to develop naturally through dialogue and subtext, TLoU2 seemed to force its message and characters too immediately upon the audience. TLoU1's story felt gradual and alluring, whereas TLoU2's story was standard.

That being said, I enjoyed the story for the most part, it made me cry more than once and I felt really compelled to see it through to the end, however there are some issues regarding pacing, plot holes and inconsistent character motivations that do not match with what was already established in the first game, I cant convince myself that these are small problems because they took me away from the experience, specially when I remember how magical the first entry was storywise.
    i've been around since the PS1 days and can honestly say that gameplay, graphics, animations, presentation and sound design are hands down the best ive seen so far in any video game, I often found myself in various moments just stopping the journey to appreciate the attention to detail of the enviourments, or replaying cutscenes to see the facial expressions and body language of the characters, really a remarkable achievment from a technical standpoint.
    To sumarize, this is a great game on its own merits, with a very unique, different and interesting way of telling a tale of right and wrong, how perspective alone can make you sympathize with a character dispite his/her actions. But, as a sequel to one of the best games of all time, it delivers an experience that is nowhere near as good as the first one. In the end of the day, I would recommend buying and investing 30 hours into it. Hope this was helpful.    … Expand

    I know there is a lot of negative comments right now because they didn't like what has happened to the characters. I think NG exactly wanted to show us what it is like to live life in trauma. to understand the true meaning of "endure and survive".

    Had the roles been reversed in the first game, had you been introduced to Abby and her dad, you would have said otherwise. this was the story to show you that there is no right side. there is no moral line when it comes to these things.
    it was brutal, beautiful and in some parts not far off from emotional torture. I loved it. I would not say its better than the first game. because the first game gave us something that the second one cant. the first game gave us the chance to get another amazing game from the story of Ellie and Joel, all be it short.

It´s just not the game the creators wanted to make.
    To me the mixture of incredible graphics and details with complex and mature storytelling has resulted not only in the best game I have ever played, but in an emotional experience that still has me reeling days after finishing it.

    There is not much to say about the gameplay since I don´t think that anybody can disagree that it is beyond anything that is out there. The details in the characters and environment are just as mind-blowing as some of the game-mechanics. I cannot count the times that I stopped "playing" just to look around and marvel, or the times I was gob smacked at simple, tiny details the creators thought of adding. Tiny things such as movement of trees and snow, faces and materials.

    As for the narrative structure - Naughty Dog manages to combine and intersect four parallel timelines and provide us with an in-depth study of the effects of grief and revenge and to challenge our own ability for forgiveness in a way that would be difficult for most other media to pull off.

    The main "twist" in the middle of the game made me incredibly angry at first, made me want to put down my controller and walk away. But as the game progressed I realized that it was necessary to really make you feel the "lesson" that Naughty Dog is trying to "teach", to challenge your own emotions and biases. The way that the two main characters' stories are so different yet still mirror each other so closely takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that is difficult to explain.

    As gut wrenching as the ending was and as much as I want to erase the last few chapters, it certainly drove home the point for me and fit in with the rest of the story.

    Lastly, I must mention the elephant in the room. While many people are decrying the "politics" and "woke-ness" of the game, I am INCREDIBLY appreciative that Naughty Dog did not shy away from it and instead made a story in which those aspects are front and centre, but at the same time - aren´t. They are simply part of the main characters, they are normalized and never "exploited".

    So overall I must thank Naughty Dog for this epic game, and epic story. I will certainly play it again when I feel emotionally ready to do so.    … Expand

    Amazing. Beautiful story, really sad but so engaging. The narration is non-linear and really well written, the flashbacks bring so much to the development of the realation between Joel and Ellie. Every character is develop (I appreciate particularly Dina and Tommy). Abby is so well developed, people gonna hate her and love her ! The direction is really stunning.

The dogs improve the stealth feeling so much. I would go as far as say that encounters with human and dogs are the best stealth session I ever played in any game.
    It might be one of the best game I ever played.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion the game is really fun and I actually prefer part 2's gameplay to the first one. The game is extremely immersive due to the amazing sound design, graphics and music.

    Spoiler warning:
    Joels death gave ellie a reason to fight and seeing the look of anger in ellies eyes shows just how overcome with hatred she is. Ellie leaving abby at the end was good character development as it showed how she realised that violence isn't always the answer and that by killing her she would be just as bad as abby. Therfore proving that she's stronger than abby by not letting her emotions consume her and she brakes the cycle of violence that this game centers around.

    Being able to play as Abby for a long period of time was something I wasn't expecting and it worked really well. At first I thought "why would I want to keep abby alive when she's the person we're trying to kill", but by the end of it abby is an extremely fleshed out character and it makes the player see her in a different light and makes it even better to see ellie let her live as she's already taken everything she loves from her.

    In conclusion I'd give this game a solid 10, this is definitely my game of the year and cyberpunk is gonna have to pull something crazy to beat it. This is seriously close to being my favourite game of all time, probably tied with half-life 2 and uncharted 2.

    Anyway if you didn't like it thats fine, video games are an art and art is subjective. But most people leaving the reviews on this game are rating it unfairly after watching a walk-through or playing the first couple hours and thinking they've experienced enough to rate it. To fully experience this game you have to play the hole thing yourself and even if you're but hurt about joels death, trust me when I say the rest of the game redeems it. I just really hate to see a good game get destroyed by the toxic gaming community and it means it probably won't win game of the year because then everyone would be claiming they were paid by sony or something. So please, if you dont want to play this game because of all the negative reviews, just try it and you'll see that all the critics weren't lying when they said this game was a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Superb game! An emotional rollercoaster rendered in stunning detail! I get that the narrative will have people talking, but giving this a low score based on a narrative choice you disagree with is lame. This game is outstanding!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have a feeling a lot of these 1 star reviews are from people who haven't even played the game and some from people who own a certain MS console and can't play it. I received my copy 2 days early and I'm now finished. I'm not going to lie the first 2 hours broke me and I found myself very angry and sad about the direction the game was going in, but I ploughed through and I'm so glad that I did.
    Everything looks stunning it's the best game graphically available on the PS4 Pro. And with a generation that includes RDR2 and God of War that's no easy feat. The environment's feel alive in a way I've never experienced in a game before, the characters feel so real and the way enemies call each other by name makes every kill feel even more brutal. Upon first arriving in Seattle I was really enjoying tearing stuff up, mutilating and killing every WLF member I could find and leaving no-one alive, mainly because of my anger about the event 2 hours in. However the story is so masterfully written that by the midway point of Ellies first section I was already questioning whether any of this was worth all the bloodshed. The way enemies are brutally killed by Ellie was satisfying at first but carry weight the further you get into the game.
    Then I reached the section with Abby which during the first 2 hours of the game I never could have hated a video game character more, even more than Micah from RDR2. I wanted her to die cruelly at the hands of Ellie. But again Naughty Dogs masterclass of storytelling shines through. We are treated to a wonderful backstory explaining where Abby's hate began and her journey for revenge which mirrors Ellies story and even surpasses it in some regards, by the time you're done playing with Abby her morals and reasoning behind her actions far outweigh Ellie's bloodlust.

    The talent of Naughty Dog is on show here, turning a character I never thought I could hate more into someone you actually like in the space of 8-10 hours of gameplay is something I don't think any other developer in the buisness could acheive.

    The gameplay itself is massively improved so much more to craft, bigger environments to use stealth and more angles and avenues to use to your advantage in every situation you come across, not to mention the infected are fantastic in this game. The horrifying clickers return which are as terrifying as ever, The runners are also more deadly in this game. Special mention for the Stalkers which are massively improved in part 2, they hide around corners or in dark spaces and wait for you, and are very clever working in packs to try to kill you. I can honestly say in every way this game really needs to be played, I can see why there is division and I found myself angry and upset after the first 2 hours, but that is how the developer want's you to feel. Naughty Dog want you to arrive in Seattle full of hate and I can promise by the time you finish Ellie's section if you don't feel redeemed by all the bloodshed you must be psychotic.
    I've never experienced anything across all forms of media that moved me in the way this game has, that includes films, TV series and games. In a world of video games with stick thin plotlines and tireless open world, climb a tower unlock the next part of the map etc, bland games. This stands out by a mile.
    Really don't understand all the 1 star reviews here, either they've not played the game or a writing their opinion after 2 hours of playing. Funny thing is if Part 2 was the exact same journey story of Joel and Ellie in different locations there'd be another group of people complaining that it does nothing new, and is just milking the first game.
    Maybe that's what people want nowadays, the same stories over and over again with no shock factor and nothing new to add. This remaster culture we seem to have gotten into in the last 5 years or so is proof of this. I have a feeling that looking back in years to come this will be looked back on as a seminal moment in gaming, although it's divisive and raw, it's interesting. Which is more than I can say for most games    … Expand

If one of you would have played the DLC "Left Behind", you'd already know that. But I'll put that beside now, that's not what I'm here for. As of now, I've played a little bit more of twelve hours straight throughout the night, and if you think my four year long occurring imaginations were not disappointed, you're absolutely right. NAUGHTY DOG, HANDS DOWN TO YOU! You have raised the bar of storytelling, again, and by God, it's epic. The characters are made up in such fantastic ways, that you can always, always feel with them, no matter if it's sadness or joy. The action parts, along with "running from death" parts as I call them, are absolutely incredible well cutted, it's like a movie. I haven't finished yet, but I can say it were the best seventy euros I spent on a game in 7 years. (maybe you can guess which game it was the last time ;) ) If you haven't bought this game till now, go on, you won't regret it. I BET. I would rate it 15 from 10 if I could. Thank you if you read till here and sorry if there are mistakes, I'm german. If you are playing it, HAVE MUCH FUN GUYS / GIRLS ♥️… Expand

And even if I didn’t find it interesting, there’s simply no way it’s a 0. Giving a 0 is acting on pure initial emotion without actually reflecting on the purpose of why this story is told as it is. It is a childish reaction.

    And then there’s the next level graphics, and incredibly intense gameplay which alone makes this game a 6/10. I agree that the story should be the main focus for a TLOU game, and that is also why I’m not at 10/10, since the story of the first game was better without a doubt - and probably something that will never be achieved in a video game again.

    But giving it a zero is like a 2-year old throwing their plate of vegetables on the ground and yelling “I don’t like it!”. Please people, can we have some perspective...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game introduces a whole new dimension of interaction with users.
    I firmly believe that it deserves a dedicated page in the game history textbooks of the future.
    Modern games are more or less used to introduce consequences of difficult decisions without any "best choice", but this game raises the bar sky-high.
    Hatred, shock, pain, remorse, guilt, forgiveness - not pleasant at all, but among the strongest feelings - and this game will force you to feel it all and will leave you an exhausted emotional wreck, transformed by the experienced you lived.
    The only downside I can make is that this game sort of rapes the player, forcing them into the sequence of actions, that is pretty logical and understandable for the traumatised character, but very unlikely normal to the player as a person. Probably a warning of some kind could be useful.
    But anyway - this is a new gold standard.

    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...
