    Es un muy buen juego en todos los aspectos, aunque decae un poco en la historia por como fue contada, pero aun asi merece cada centavo y cada minuto que te cueste.
    Y por ultimo, me hubiera gustado mucho mas que no cambiaran la forma en que se cuenta la historia, la hubieran dejado como se filtroooo, yo era uno de muchos que sin problema lo comprarian a pesar de todos los conflictos que se

    Desearia que en una especie de dlc dieran la oportunidad de jugar lo que era la historia antes de modificarla por las filtraciones pero se que nunca pasara.

    This scenario is the worst trash that could have ever been written for this sequel. Auto destroying itself. killing the franchise forever.

    This scenario is the worst trash that could have ever been written for this sequel. Auto destroying itself. killing the franchise forever.
    The key moments of this game are just like a spit on your face which annihilates every else that was good in the game. I wish I never played this and it never existed. Starting the second half of the game until you reach the end, you feel insulted all the way. You already know where it is going, and it is simply stupid. You will think: seriously they could not come up with anything else?
    If the game just stopped right at the middle it would have been way better.
    Extremely poor choices that destroyed what could have been a masterpiece but instead turned out to be a monster.
    You will come out of this experience feeling insulted, disgusted and and even completely hating the last of us which is the worst thing you could do to the players and that deserves severe sanction 0/10 + the resignation of Neil Druckmann to keep him away from destroying any other beloved franchise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and I can tell why the hate.
    (note I played the game on hard difficulty before I change it to easy difficulty because I just wanted to finish my pain)
    First the positives:
    TLOU2 is one of the best looking games of this generation.
    The first hours of the game build the tension perfectly (before that controversial scene).The exploration is well rewarded.
    and...that's it.

    Mixed:
    the gameplay, they add DOGE button that makes the game a cakewalk, you can easily rush and enemy and not be punished by it, (note most of the game I played it on hard until the last two chapters of the game), I had a lot of clunky moments where the camera didn't look where I wanted and there is no button or to immediately change your view from left to right like in other games. You have enough supplies to go and wage war and the enemies are either dumb as a rock or intelligent like a predator, I had moments where they could easily see me through walls or tall grass, finally, the companions (I will talk about their traits and character in the story section, now only the technical part) are useless, they spot me a lot of times with them because they refuse to turn off their flashlights or just let me do all the killing for me, except in the scripted parts (duh).

    The bad:
    New human enemies that heavy type like in any videogame, but they resist 2 bullets to the head that kill the sense of realism of the game.
    Clickers are easier now, you have a knife that doesn't break and you don't need to sneak behind them, you can easily grab them from the front and easily kill them. So...they are not scary anymore like in the first game.
    So many bad level design, when you want to do a part super sneaky, the game purposely is designed for you to fight them, like the first level you encounter the scars (the e3 gameplay showcase level).
    At the end of the day, the game is no longer about survival but an action game.

    The awful: story and characters
    brace yourself, Im about to end this game's career...wait, other people already did it, nevermind.
    As you know, tlou isn't about the gameplay, but the story, that's why I like tlou 1 story and worldbuilding, but the gameplay is what it lacks.
    Since this game is about story, you must have a good one, unfortunately it doesn't
    First: the death of Joel, people aren't mad because Joel died, their mad because how he died. They changed core design character traits from the first game. Joel and Tommy woul've never help Abby, Joel woul've never trust the wolf easily, Joel would've never do something risky that would've put Tommy in danger, guess what, they did it in tlou 2 to have their revenge story.

    Second: Ellie, In the end Ellie end would've never spare Abby, she would've never regre killing Mel (just because her girlfriend was pregnant), thats bad writing. Ellie would've let jessie take dina back to jackson and look for tommy to help her kill everyone.

    Tommy: at leats he is consistent, but he get the screentime of Haru in Persona 5, non-existant.

    Jessie and Dina: they are one dimensional, and have no reason to help you. Their line are generic and honestly Jessie is just a meat-bag, that wouldn't be bad, but the game tries so hard to care for them put the game does not put reasons to like them. Jessie: I look up to Joel (but we never see this, we don't know the realitonship of joel and jessie, therfore we dont care).

    Dina: I love you, we do this together. that's the only reason...a generic reason if you ask me and she doesn't add nothing more, their dialogues are boring or just obvious. She is like Navi in TLOZ OoT, but she is useless.

    Abby: she is just a **** she has no likeable traits, not even at the end of the game or when you use her. She is all muscle and no character. And brings most of the plot holes: how did she know how joel looked liked? How did she track you down when the map you drop didn't had your hiding location? why did she goe back for those kids (just because of a dream, that is weak as hell)? SO MANY WHYS (but I need to spare my characters).

    Owen...I like owen. He is consisnten and a likeable charac ter with good goals, unfortunatley he is underdeveloped.

    The rest of the WLF: the game tries so hard for you to like them, but in the end is useless, because you know this guys are just as worst as the scars. They are not better and at somepoint even worse, their actions when you use Ellie are potrayed as phycos, but when you use abby they are good folks. And there is such a big disconnect, bad writting once again.

    Scars: they are not consistent, they dont use the "old world stuff". But they do, and the reason is because they use it when convinient. Yel says that, literally he/she says that.

    Finally the ending: the worst written ending I've seen. Is the least video game ending of all time. When you play games, you want at the end to be a payoff. Guess what, there is none, you let Abby go away, and all that killing for nothing.

    The script could be better, we should have played with Ellie more and also we should have seen Joel more even if he would die eventually. Abby scenes was unnecessarily too long and it killed the emotions that we need to feel. This story could be a better revenge story

It was unnecessary to kill Joel honestly but the main issue is the ending I just don’t get why Ellie wouldn’t get revenge on Abby playing this game fella like a waste of time and I hate everything about the story however the gameplay is very fun and the graphics are phenomenal and I’m not just being salty I mean red dead 2 killed off Arthur Morgan and it’s still regarded as one of the best games ever made at least rockstar has respect for their characters and understand that playing as these characters mean so much to us and seeing them die is sad yes but they still have him a nice death to end the game however naughty dog has no respect for Joel and clearly don’t respect their fans that make them money and give them food to eat and a roof over their head and treat us like **** I absolutely hate this and Neil is an idiot and should never make a game again if he can’t even give us a good game and also he knew this game was bad because metacritic won’t even let you leave a bad review and you can’t trade in the game in stores cuz they know that this game is absolute garbage 3/10 Expand

El juego es buenísimo, ojo el juego, la historia ya es otra cosa, no me parece que este mala, me parece que está mal contada y con un final decepcionante muy decepcionante. Se siente como que para nada jugué, se siente irá saber que elli no obtuvo su venganza, la muerte de Joel, la muertes de Jesse, la casi muerte de Dina. No tiene sentido que perdone a Abby en el último segundo sin razón aparente solo porque "la venganza nunca es buena mata el alma y la envenena" si quieres castiga a Elly, matandola o no es necesario tampoco, por cumplir su venganza se quedó sin gente porque Dina la abandona y se lleva el bebé, Jesse muerto, Joel muerto, Tommy perdido porque le dijeron que no regresará y para rematar sin dedos porque Abby se los mordió. Así ella puede pagar en vida pero no me dejes viva a Abby así ella gana. Muy mal naughtydog ahí. Por eso la nota del juego un 3. Jugablemente de lo mejor, acerca de la historia mal muy mal. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately, I could not play this game, and I had to go to my friend. we went through the game in 4 days, we spent 26 hours, and we think that this game is a masterpiece, it is not better than the first part (which I played), I read a lot of negative reviews and I think that gay propaganda is complete rubbish and False. I can’t understand why 1 kiss (okay 3) of two girls excited everyone so much.
    As for Joel, it's sad that we all miss him, but if he were alive, it would be a completely different game, so I really would not want to. Graphics, I don’t see any reason to say anything about this in order to find fault with the fact that the grass is unreal or that some characters twitched? oh well, I'm ready to play a terrible 2D game, if it has only a space plot. This game is not good or bad, it is a game about the so-called gray morality, where the game does not say who is good or bad, the game shows everyone from all sides, and the player, in turn, chooses who is who + the game shows that violence leads to even more violence, well, you know a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and so the whole world can go blind.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll be talking about actual spoilers in the last paragraph. The rest of this review is spoiler free. This review that will be ignoring the so-called SJW/woke/whatever stuff. I know that can be divisive, so I'm leaving that out, and I think there's enough I can talk about without mentioning that.

    To start out, they basically pull a GOT finale and give Joel and Ellie the Daenerys treatment by having them do things that are completely against what their characters have been established as. And they not only do it once, but three times, some worse than others.

    That's before we even get to the company side of things. If you want to skip the company stuff, skip this paragraph. Normally I wouldn't include this in a review of the game itself, but I think it warrants mention here since many people are protesting the game because of Sony and Naughty Dog's behavior, such as the hostile workplace they've created and the blatant DMCA abuse when it's completely unwarranted. Some people literally only voiced their negative opinions of the game without showing ANY part of the game, and still got DMCA'd, which can take away people's ability to stream which is a huge source of revenue for some, essentially putting some streamers out of business for their opinions, and the fact they allowed a full blown and very revealing sex scene in TLOU2 while heavily censoring anime games (some with the same rating as TLOU2) months earlier for just being skimpy. There's also the blatant false advertising, such as them putting a fake scene in the trailer where Joel says to Ellie "you thought I'd let you go alone?" which doesn't actually happen.

    From a gameplay perspective, there's no to little improvements over the first TLOU, so some people think it feels stale. I will be fair and state that TLOU wasn't really known for its gameplay, but rather its atmosphere and story. The only positive it has going for is the graphics. So assuming you review it evenly based on graphics, gameplay, and story, giving each a 33% weight, it makes sense the game is getting 3's and 4's out of 10. If you weight the story itself more heavily, it still comes out about the same. It's a visually stunningly beautiful game... But that's about it.

    Spoiler section: The three instances of them pulling a GOT finale are these: Joel walking into a house and randomly announcing who he is, Ellie suddenly deciding to stop her quest for vengeance at the end, and Joel being the catalyst for her stopping. Most people who review this are so outraged by Joel's death that they fail to notice that they spit on his character more than once. Joel is merciless, mistrustful of others and outright says he would kill all the fireflies in the hospital all over again. He doesn't care who dies or who he kills. As such, it makes NO sense for him to walk into a room and announce who he is. It makes NO sense for Ellie to stop her quest of revenge, and it makes NO sense for the flashback of Joel to be what stops her since we damn well know he would have killed Abby without a second thought. And why the hell would you decide vengeance is bad only when reaching your final target and not stopping when you had to kill dozens of people OUT OF VENGEANCE to reach your target? And about Joel's death, I know in reality people often die unceremoniously, and their deaths are often underwhelming. Neil Druckmann outright said this game isn't supposed to be fun. But this is a video game. Video games are within the category of entertainment, a prerequisite of which is fun. So why would you make a game that isn't fun? Joel is a beloved character by the fans and he simply deserved better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is amazing. hands down. don’t believe the score bombers and the bad takes. play it yourself and make up your own mind, but know that this game is a beautiful, complex, and nuanced successor to the first game. tlou2 takes a very hard, bleak look at humanity at first, since it’s a game integral on survival at all costs, in a brutal world that is no longer nor will ever be the same. that means everyone will do what it takes, sometimes at the cost of others, but they each have their own motives, agendas, histories. this game shows that while things are violent and cruel, there is also deep passion and love and beauty to be found, too, even in the people you think you’re supposed to hate. many of these bad reviews just cannot grasp the thought that ellie, grown up from the first game, turned out like everyone else she’s ever known, and that means vindication and revenge and just human cruelty. this game makes you angry, makes you cry, makes you happy and torn and just in wonder at everything. the sceneries are amazing, and a world overtaken with 25 odd years of plant growth and decay, are just astounding. games have come so far with the visual effects and lighting and sound and action, and tlou2 is the prime example of mastery in the craft. please play this game. guard your heart a little, but make no assumptions about the story or the characters. it’s all handled beautifully, and i really believe this game is one of the best.

    The Game looks great but the story is lacking, frustrating and disappointing. And to me a game's story and characters or far more important then graphics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally I believe it’s a great game. Definitely a great gameplay and it’s an amazing experience overall. I was a bit hesitant at first after reading all the reviews, but I really enjoyed the experience. I think killing Joel was a bit extreme, but it really helped us feel the anger that Ellie felt. The ending could’ve been better, so I hope we get some Abby closure in some sort of DLC where Tommy goes after Abby or Dina goes to look for Ellie or something like that. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'd just like to say as a start im not sure why everyone hates this game. Maybe by those who got spoiled it was hard to see character decisions being made when they were made. Maybe there's another agenda that they find offensive for no reason. But all that aside I thought this was a great game the story was done well characters were well written and most of all it was well executed i think playing the game and experiencing the story without it being spoiled made it a lot easier to see the events unfold I feel as if you were to have told me prior i would be confused and not understand why this happened and get upset with this plot. By seeing the story payout the way it did amazed me and tugged on my heart in all different ways. Playing this game made me appreciate the relationship between Joel and ellie that much more and the new character Abby was amazing, she showed me that behind every death theres someone who cared for them and what lengths some people will go through to make others suffer like she did and in the end regret it. Seeing ellie get over his death in the end and not killing abby was the most adult thing she could do and probably took everything in her to not finish the job. One last thing I want to mention is the guitar in this game, in the beginning you start as joel and you hand the guitar to ellie then you play as her in the end ellie sets that guitar down and the screen no longer focuses on her. The story is over and it was an excellent job I cant wait to see what Naughtydog does next! Expand

    The game story sucks, every new character is pointless. They have the audacity to try and justify Joel and Tommy’s murderer and make you care for her, **** that, and in the end don’t even let you have the option to kill her??? STFU with that. Game ruined.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The people who are complaining about the story are just children who don’t appreciate the value of good storytelling. They all want to sympathize only with the characters they knew from the first game instead of empathizing and learning about the newer characters. In the first game, obviously Joel made a very impactful decision to save Ellie. In doing so, he kills countless people who were really just trying to save their own loved ones. Now, years later, the children of the people he killed come back to kill him. It’s a simple ending of a story loop, an effect of the choices that Joel made. But instead of acknowledging this the viewers simply see a character they love being killed in a gruesome manner. It is a tragic end to his life, but at least now he is back with his family, where he belongs. He no longer has to live with that pain. Meanwhile, Abby has to learn how to live with having killed someone in such a brutal manner. It comes back to bite her as Ellie seeks the same revenge as her. The story is a very realistic, meaningful look at how all this death and suffering would affect people. Some choose to live in pain and seek vengeance while others choose to let go. If you can’t see the beauty and depth in that, then you just don’t understand pain. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Up to this point, id never think that killing the protagonist of a prequel right off in the beginning would be that badly received, assuming there have been a number of games with similar formula, which were successful. But when the storywriters are doing this just go bring up a vendetta story, presented in a very dull and filled with plotholes way, this bad reception comes as no surprise to almost everyone.

    There are probably a million paths the storywriters could have gone here, so that it would please everyone, even by repeating the story of the first game, and it would have been far more worth time investing in playing this game, than now.

    While the graphics are 9/10, everything else is absolute bonkers.

    enemy variety 2/10 - barely added new enemies since game 1- they could have added more types of zombies with different abilities/approach to kill them

    main characters 1/10 - post apolyptic scene with characters whose sole purpose is to hunt each-other down? First game the protagonists were survivors, which had their flaws, but you as player easily sympathized with them. This sequel here feels like cat and mouse game, where the surviving part is almost non existent.

    storyline 1/10 - whoever wrote this, should not be hired by ANY game dev company.


    It saddens me to write all this, as the first game was one of the most touching and mastetfully made I've had the pleasure to play.
    But game is a true franchise destroyer - doubtful there will ever be TLOU 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the game when it came out and I had high hopes considering the positive reviews and I hadn't read the leaks that came out.

    A lot of people on this website complain that the game has too much SJW forced into our faces, but I don't see a lot of SJW put into faces. The only SJW content really shown is that Ellie is gay and dates Dina. This isn't a problem and is not that bad of a thing.

    The biggest flaw of the entire game is the story that it revolves around. Graphics are breathtaking and the gameplay is similar to that of the first game, but the story writing is flawed. In the beginning, the game kills off one of the most beloved characters in gaming. I wouldn't have any issue with this if the character was given a noble death that may have been a bit longer in the story. The problem is that the character is killed off early and attempts to make you feel sympathetic towards the killers actions.
    The game only attempts to make you feel sympathy halfway in the game when you obviously hate the killer and Ellie is in a heated moment.

    One of the biggest story flaws I had was the ending of the game. The first game had me thinking whether Joel eradicating the fireflies and throwing away the fate of humanity was worth it. The ending had a bit of wholesomeness with Joel and Ellie retiring to Jackson.
    This ending isn't wholesome or fulfilling;it's outright depressing.
    The entire theme of the game is revenge and at the end, Ellie doesn't get the revenge she wanted and lets Abby go. Dina just straight up leaves Ellie and she is abandoned at the end. The ending had me depressed and feeling that none of the 30 hours I put into the game was worth it.

In my opinion the gameplay was fun the character interactions between Joel and Ellie in flashbacks and Dina and Ellie in real time were nice, however, the ending was depressing. It was depressing in a way leaving you with no closure. And of course, killing of the main character of the last game in a horrid way was hard to believe, and then having to play 8+ hours as the person who did it made the matters all worse. It was fun, emotional, and interesting, for the most part, but left me disappointed that NaughtyDog messed this one up a bit. Expand

    I understand most of the critics who reviewed this game, they probably don't have to pay the money to get the game, in this case, I think my review is less biased because at least I paid for this game. What makes TLOU special? The story. There are many zombie games, killing games, beautiful games, who bother killing zombies in TLOU?

    What makes TLOU special? The story. There are many zombie games, killing games, beautiful games, who bother killing zombies in TLOU? It's because of the story, so when the story fails, the games fails.

    I think the game director changed his decision over the main story many times during the developing course, and eventually he did not know what he really want or to deliver (bad lesson to give a game director too much power in a studio), I am totally disconnected with the characters, I was forced to play and to connect with characters I don't give a F**K with, the story is not natural, not logical, just nonsense.

    The story telling structure is horrible, rigid, forced and senseless.

    The little trying to make an open world exploration experience feels out of date.

    The game control feels clumsy, the UI design... It sucks when you want to swap your weapon during a fight.

    Overall I give a 4/10.
