    Un gran juego, justo acabo de terminarlo es complicado de entender todo lo que nos quieren contar. La jugabilidad es hermosa, al principio te sientes como un tonto jugando por lo que cambia de otros juegos, pero con el tiempo agarras ritmo, el sonido es impecable y la historia se necesita ver más de una vez. Me dejo pensativo, gracias naughty dog

    Regarding the story in this way as the first had moments that moved me a lot as a fan these were repeated here in many parts. Perceptual moments of maturing of the characters very well written by their screenwriters, aspects that make the game shine. The narrative ended up being stretch a few times and show other views of the characters in the plot which didn’t bother me but I have in mind that it can bother other fans. Well the most interesting is the message that the game wants to send us with all the questions imposed by the director on the plot, had points I didn't like as a fan in the story yes, but overall The last of us ii is incredible and I recommend it.    … Expand

    I personally enjoyed the game for what it was, there were many things that could have been approved and the ending for me was very bitter-sweet, I thought the charcters were okay besides one and if you did avoid the leaks I would say you can find enjoyment out of this game, I personally can't wait to see what they do with the story aif they are to make a part 3

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decent story, great gameplay, awesome graphics, voice acting , sound and level design. Story is fulfilling in the first half, but in the second half i felt annoyed playing as a character with a story i didn't care for at first. But showing both character's perspectives remind us that there are consequences to every action, and we can really see that Joel's actions in part 1 yielded serious consequences for himself AND for Ellie. I liked Ellie's choice at the ending as it leaves the story open so we can move forward to a totally different story for part 3. You may not love it, but if you enjoy naughty dogs games you will definitely like it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played and beaten The Last of Us Part 2 twice now. I can say that the game is not a 10/10 or 100/100, which some critics are giving it. Nor is the game a 0/10 or 0/100, as some angry fans have been posting. This game has flaws and imperfections, while at the same time having its merits.

    Overall 6.5
    The game is beautiful graphicly speaking. There should be no arguing this. I spent a fair amount of time enjoying the world. Some of the scenes were amazing, especially some of the ones around sunset. I found myself going into photo mode to take some pictures.

    GRAPHICS: The game is easily a 9/10, maybe even a 9.5/10

    The gameplay was fun while having its share of bugs and repetitiveness. One such bug happened when the character grabs someone and try to move them to a place where NPC would not easily spot their bodies. The game would often cause Elly or Abby to spin around in circles. Causing my sense of direction to be thrown off so that one it stopped spinning them around. I would either run into the enemy or get spotted, becoming an annoyance. Then there was the repetitiveness of mashing square for almost everything. They could of at least gave the players some other buttons to change it up.

    GAMEPLAY: For all of this, I am giving the game a 6/10 for gameplay.

    The Last of Us Part 2's story was the biggest issue for the game. The first game set up these characters and their personalities. In the first game, Joel was a survivor who did not trust people until they earned it. His experiences surviving in his apocalyptic world taught him. People could not be trusted. In a scene from the first game, Joel runs over someone. That seemed to be in trouble and seeking help all because of his distrust for people he did not know. Throughout the first game, he teaches Ellie how to survive and be leary of others.

    Spoilers

    Then in The Last of Us Part 2, Joel is killed for trusting Abby and her group. I believe this would have never happened. As I feel Joel would have taken her back to her group and most likely left her outside the gate. Then head off to find shelter elsewhere from the storm. Other then Joel's death is out of character for him. I feel they made a huge mistake killing him before making us play as Abby. I know that I hated having to play her and wanted her dead.

    Had the first part of the game started with Abby's story allowing us to see why she hated Joel and wanted him dead. Then play some of her struggle to find Joel. The player could have gotten to know Abby as a character. Even dare I say like the character and her friends to help the player to understand and accept that she kills Joel later on in the game.

    As it is now, the story is a complete mess. With Abby killing Joel, Ellie going after Abby's friends to find Abby and killing them for their involvement in Joel's death. Leading to Ellie's second run-in with Abby, but before we get to play out that encounter. The player switches to Abby, playing her story up to and through the confrontation with Ellie. Now the player steps back into the shoes of Ellie, who is living with her lover Dena. Ellie suffers from PTSD and is having a hard time dealing with the fact that Abby is still out there. Ellie packs some things in the middle of the night after receiving news on where Abby is from Tommy. Dena confronts Ellie and pleads with her to forget about Abby. When Ellie tells her she can't and goes to leave. Dena says she won't be here when she gets back.

    Ellie tracks down Abby, and they have a final battle, but instead of killing Abby. Ellie lets her walk away. So in this mess up story, Abby gets to walk away with the loss of a few friends but otherwise has a somewhat hopeful future. While Ellie, the character that everyone cares about, lost everything. She loses her father figure, Joel. She loses her friend Jessi. She loses her lover, Dena. She even loses her ability to play her guitar. What for Revenge that she didn't even get because she lets Abby walk.

    STORY 4/10 it had potential had they changed and done some things differently.    … Expand

Definitely not comparable to the first last of us. It's just disappointing in so many ways, but mainly story and its characters. Characters are not likable or relatable. Since this is not a movie (although at times it feels like it due to the amount of cutscenes) it is harder to play an unlikable character that you just don't root for. All in all, it's just not worth the price or the time to play this game.… Expand

I like the final, i think is a good final, ellie was cracked with revenge she lost people she loved like the jj and dina just for revenge and when she managed to execute her revenge she saw that it wasn’t all that, that revenge wasn’t going to take her problems away just caused more problems, so she let abby go
    I found Ellie's relationship with Dina good was not forced it flows well.
    The graphics are beautiful, for me the best graphics of the generation, very big scenarios and very good gameplay. The facial expressions are excellent, but I thought they had many similar faces in the game, little diversity. The enemies in the game are balanced between infected and humans. I loved seeing both sides of the coin, playing with ellie and abby, I thought it was great at first we hate abby for killing joel, but when we play with her we see that she is not bad joel took her father’s life, she took revenge for a reason a great reason. I think this game is not a sealer at any point, it is a game that shows ellie’s sexuality, nothing much and abby is just strong no more. this game is not a sealer.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers.ahead. As a supporter of the LGBT community and legalization I have no issue with the events portrayed in this game. That being said, everything about this game feels shoe horned in. The weed jokes and references throughout, the LGBT characters, the death of Joel and the forced perspective of the antagonist. In the first two hours of gameplay you find two bongs and a growhouse. The bongs are one of the only things you can pick up in the room and serve no purpose in the game. It just feels like a forced attempt at a joke that breaks the emersion.
    Ellie and her girlfriend make sense and I even enjoy their blossoming relationship. However the drawn out makeout session and the awkward sex scene were unnecessary and once again felt forced.
    Joel was a careful and strong survivor. . Yet he is willing to go to a house knowing multiple armed people will be there and that they will know the layout much better than him. This is foolhardy and it like everything else in this game feels like an unfleshed out plot point in an attempt to force the story.
    We as the player are supposed to feel for the antagonist and understand her decisions. Even empathise with her. The opposite becomes the fact. When you're playing her it feel foreign and cringy. She is not a likable person and she should be as on just the events she has a point.
    Lastly, I feel that the story was not well written as a whole. The moral argument can be made for both choices Joel could have made at the end of the first game. He may have sacrificed the entire human race to save one girl. He actively killed people in the process as well. He was not the shining knight he was a man who loved a little girl as his daughter. Tell that story, show that everything is not black and white and as fans we will back you. That doesn't show up here. This story was distracting and broken in a way that left the fans and gamers like myself feeling empty and unfulfilled.    … Expand

    It's not the story that those who played the first part was expecting but it is FOR ME is perfect for the characters. The addition of Abby as playable character is much as good as Ellie's. However they didn't made the same decision as far as revenge goes. Kudos to Naughty Dog's team.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was incredibly disheartened when the leaks came out. I thought there was no possible way for the game to have all of those things happen and for me to enjoy it or feel anything besides pure anger. I was SO SO SO wrong.
    The heart of the original was what made it special. While this does have fewer moments that show that off, the moments that do REALLY do. I can safely say most of my favorite scenes from either game happened in the sequel.
    The game overall feels like the original; it is dark and violent but not any more than the first. While the first was mostly about doing what it takes to protect the ones you love, this one is about what it does to a person when they can’t.
    SPOILERS BELOW:
    The part that I was least looking forward to was playing as Abby. The game definitely surprised me by making her story one that eventually made me grow to tolerate her and even had me invested in the game. I think a big part of that was Lev. Love that little guy.
    However, I did not feel much for Abby even after playing as her for (far too many) hours. I think the creators made a mistake with how they decided to have her kill Joel. The whole game tries to parallel Abby and Ellie, but there are a few fundamental differences that make it impossible for me to like or side with Abby. The first and most important being the way she relishes in killing an torturing Joel. We see Ellie kill and torture Nora, but we see the impact it has on her after. The creators dug themselves into a hole that is impossible to come out of by showing Abby killing Joel in such a cruel way with absolutely no remorse. I also really struggled with the game trying to compare Joel killing Abby’s dad (to protect Ellie) to what Abby did to Joel. I’m sure that it felt no different to Abby but they are ABSOLUTELY not the same.
    I also have a hard time deciding how I feel about the final part of the game. I’m very conflicted. At first I absolutely wanted to see Ellie kill Abby and get revenge. The whole game, even as Abby, I just kept thinking “I cant wait for her to die!!!” Once Ellie decided to go find Abby, I felt angry about the decision. She had a family that she was giving up. It did not feel worth it to me. I did think that having her go due to her PTSD was a much more interesting choice than “SHE NEEDS VENGEANCE”. It almost made it seem like the right decision. To be totally honest I could have done without that final part completely. But, that final part was the first time I actually felt for Abby. During the final fight I just kept thinking “you’ve both been through so much, just stop” and I think that’s what the creators wanted of me.

    Overall, I really enjoyed the game. If they had made Abby kill Joel off screen (or in a way where she didn’t immediately get branded as an irredeemable person in every player’s mind) I think I would have been able to empathize with her more (and maybe even like her). Then the battle in the theater could have been the final and we could have gotten rid of the last part. It wouldn’t need to exist or feel as rushed and unnecessary as it did.    … Expand

    There gameplay is smooth as butter, the visuals are breathtaking. The story narrative is the best I've seen in a game for years. If you don't like this game it's either because they're gay and you can't handle it, because you like games that are all action and no story or because you're a simp.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of us 2 is definitely the game of the year. The game is AMAZING. You soon figure out why Abby killed Joel and you start to feel for her. Most of the player reviews are people who haven't even played the game yet. They just rate it low because they know Joel died. Some people are pathetic. This game is amazing so far and I love that ellie is a lesbian and I respect it. Why are people so mad and mean to this game? I don't understand. I give the game a ten out of ten.… Expand

    Been playing the game for about a week now and I'm loving it, it gives me so much anxiety playing it but I usually get anxiety playing horror games. I love the new characters and story and I'll miss the old but if you live by the sword you'll die by the sword and that pain it cause me got me even more invested in the story

    La parte de Abby aburridísima aunque es la mejor en los combates. Se nota que en la parte 3 o algún DLC ella será la protagonista.
    Triste por el final de Ellie aunque es reconfortante saber que terminó en buenos términos con Joel, creo que ese fue el motivo del perdón a Abby.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t understand why everyone is hating on the game. Just because you don’t get the ending you want does not mean the game was bad Not everything is supposed to have a “happy ending” and that’s true about life. Yet many of you are crying and complaining about the fact that Abby didn’t die because it didn’t justify your need for vengeance.

    I personally think the writing was incredible. There were times were I was happy, there were times were I was sad, there were times were I was angry, there were times were I laughed and and a joke lightened the tone of the game. To say that the writing was bad clearly shows that the fandom is selfish and doesn’t understand the complexities of life.

    The game is set in a world where there is no rules but survival. Abby believed she was justified for killing Joel because he killed her father and essentially ruined humanity because there is no vaccine. Was it right for Abby to obsess and track her fathers killer for all these years? Probably not and even Owen wants her to give up on this hatred. She could’ve lived a happier life with her friends still living, But in the end she succumbs to the cycle of revenge and so will Ellie.

    To me that is great writing because we as the audience see a story from two point of views and see how each character develops differently. The moral of the story is that revenge is never the answer because it leads to both sides getting hurt. Trust me I wanted Abby dead as much as everyone else but imagine if the first Last of Us was played as Abby, we would want revenge on Joel too so people need to have an open mind and realize that not everything is gonna have a happy ending so grow up and stop complaining.    … Expand
