    Jogo voltado para o publico LGBT, a primeira parte foi muito superior, esse ganha apenas em gráficos (menos nas texturas) e tamanho do jogo, mas a história é super clichê, rasguei dinheiro com esse jogo.

    Let me start off by saying this. The game graphically and animation wise is top notch, one of the best looking games out there and this is done on 7 year old hardware. Where this game falls short is in its story and gameplay. The gameplay has been improved upon from the first game but not by much it still feels extremely outdated.

The story is the huge breaking point for me personally though especially since this is a narrative driven game. The story feels like a huge slap in the face to the last of us 1 fans and all the decisions made in it are pointless by the end and just doesn't feel worth it. Lastly all the new characters added just aren't very likable unfortunately and I didn't care about what happend to them. They even make me dislike Ellie by the end of the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is the biggest freak in the history of the gaming world, first of all I want to make it very clear that I PLAYED the game, I AM NOT an Xbox fanboy and I AM NOT a bot, I would NEVER in my life imagine living this moment to see the company that I loved doing this with the fans themselves, INCOMPETENCE from beginning to end, Neil Druckmann you are NOT a god of game writing as you think you are, respect the fans, this game is made for them and not for you and your ideologies, Halley Gross you DO NOT serve to script a game, get out because you already destroyed a gigantic franchise and we don't want any more tragedy, unfortunately on June 19, 2020 we didn't just experience the death of Joel, a character we love so much and who dies in a ridiculous way, with the character taking actions that do not fit his personality, but also marks the beginning of the fall of ND, at least with the grotesque direction that the studio has been taking recently, I don't even know where to start with this bomb, on the technical side, it is undeniable the talent of the developers that the studio can be proud to say that they are part of, the visual quality is the best alongside Red Dead Redemption II that I have seen, the quality of sound is also excellent, the audio design of the shots, the breaking glass, the rain is exceptional, all this with the arrival of the new generation of consoles, will be overcome in a short time, what will remain in the future is the narrative, the gameplay follows the same scheme as the first game, without much innovation, but the game is so long and drawn out that after a few hours everything starts to getting tiring, , but none of that is what marks in narrative titles like this, but of course, the story, and my friends, is UNBELIEVABLE something as poorly written as the script for this game coming from a super developer and a super production of millions and millions of dollars, it is UNACCEPTABLE, it is disrespectful to the fans of the first game, HUNDREDS of HOLES of script, I will mention some of them here as an example, Ellie traveling around the USA twice after revenge and in the end giving back? Did she kill a rattlesnake coldly 10 minutes before forgiving the person who took everything from her life? Did Jesse and Ellie abandon a pregnant woman feeling sick inside a theater despite the 1 billion bills Ellie finds from people who died waiting for rescue? Couldn't they take her to Jackson and continue the hunt afterwards like the Abby who waited 4 years for her revenge? Did the pregnant Dina fall from a height of 5m, 6m and continue the journey normally? Abby let Ellie and Tommy live? Did it not occur to her that they could come after revenge in the same way that she herself did? Forcing us to feel something for Abby, that she has friends and such and a few hours later she kills dozens of WLF that the game itself tries to pass that are her friends? Yara having surgery with equipment that had been abandoned for 24 years and after half an hour getting into all the dirty Seattle water? What's the point for Lev and Yara to save a wolf? Why does Abby risk her life to get this equipment from the hospital for a seraph, since Joel, who saved her life, was not only content to kill, but also to torture? The convenience of Joel's script finding and saving Abby? Jesse dying worse than any NPC in the game? Tommy getting shot in the face and then showing up alive? Mel pregnant with a bigger belly than Dina's and normally participating in WLF activities, jumping, climbing, killing seraphites while Dina can't even move after a certain part of the game? Why did you try so hard to pass that Joel was a villain? Is Jerry the reincarnation of Jesus Christ who never did anything wrong in his life? Lev to go back to his camp even though he knew his mother wouldn't support him and Abby to go after him knowing about the war that was going to happen? Why wasn't Ellie's immunity exploited in this game? Where's any reference to characters like Sarah, Tess, Bill, Henry, Sam, even David? Wouldn't it be magical to have a scene of Joel taking Sarah to the park before the whole outbreak started? What did Joel do throughout his 20 years until he found Ellie? You DESTROYED ALL of the characters in the first game, MISCHARACTERIZED ALL of them, Joel and Tommy never let their guard down for an armed stranger the way it was, Ellie was a happy and outgoing girl now she looks depressed and distant, the feeling is that she would commit suicide at the end of the game, was that the intention? Tommy would never act like that **** with Ellie, they even separed Tommy and Maria, unfortunately it was 7 years of waiting and a game that SHOULD NOT EXIST, for me and for thousands this game is not canonical and it never will be, Abby is a PSYCHO, WE DO NOT LIKE HER and NO WE WANT TO PLAY WITH HER, very sad for ND and especially for her employees who worked EXCESSIVELY in a game as badly scripted as this one.… Expand

    The beginning of the game blew me away with that open world look and best graphics ever on a console.After a few hours it got boring at repetitive.Long cutscenes as like i was watching a movie and a pretty bad one too.There are more cutscenes than actual gameplay.

    The reason i play story driven given games is because it gives me a context and a motive to do what i do in the game. The story is supposed to match my state of mind as a player and drive me to act. The last Crap part 2 has none of that. The game forces me to play as a character i loath and thinks giving me a flashback of them will make me sympathize, but i don't care.

    If you played the first one you are gonna hate this one, if you didn't play the first one, you might enjoy this one because u have no attachment to the characters. .

    Naughty Dog didn't take a risk to create something amazing like Death Stranding, they didn't try something different, they just decided to appeal politically to an ideological group that doesn't even play video games. And sacrificing the Legacy and the fans was okay to them. Never trust a studio, trust the game maker. Naughty dog died after Amy Hennig left.    … Expand

Shame, the game doesn't utilise it in best way possible - first game had so much more to offer in enviromental puzzles and even the map design was much better too. In first hour or maybe little bit more, TLOU 2 pretend to have almost open world - and then it's at it's best. After that, it's only downhill.
    Graphics - oh well, that's amazing. Actually - that's the only good thing about this game. The quality of 3D mogels and textures is breathtaking... but man, those animations. If only anything else in this game had this quality!
    So let's get down to bussiness - aside from few annoying bugs, there is one glaring problem with this game. Story. The writing.
    THE ONE MAIN THING, that made TLOU 1 game of the generation.
    Writing in TLOU 2 is just bad. And I'm not talking about things people were "shocked" in spoilers and leaks. It's bad - yeah, THAT bad or even worse, because there is lot more sh*tting on game we all loved, than spoilers shown. But I mean also a writing all along the way is bearly ok. You can just feel, that people who crafted TLOU 1 with love ain't working on this one. It's like this game was written by someone with inferiority complex, who hated their predecesors and wanned to hurt them, by destroing their legacy.
    And people jump the wagon of hate because of minority depiction and so on. I don't care if Abby is trans or not, as well as I don't care if Ellie is gay or not. What I do care is poor writing choices, that forces you to do cruel things, just to imidietly scold you for it. It's seems like it was written by someone, whos biggest writing achivement up to date, was writing imaginary arguments with people who he didn't like, and winning with poor artificial arguments. Smartest things this game have to offer is "killing is bad", "revange is wrong". No shait Sherlock. You just killed hundreds to spew that idiotiy...
    In the end, I belive this game is biggest miss in Sonys history, worst game that Naughty Dog ever made. It really is as people call it - 8th season of GoT or Last Jedi of the franchise.
    It's a show of one poor actor that injected himself into the game (at least twice!), to show to whole world, that he have mental issues. And he do! But to be honest - he needs help, real help. Insted, someone gave him few million $ brand, to jugle with his own mental problems.
    To sum it up - if you like TLOU 1 = AVOID like a plague.
    If you never played TLOU 1 = why do you even bother?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 rides on a lot of goodwill from the incredible The Last of Us. Without that goodwill the hype would not be there. Unfortunately, I can't say that it has lived up to the hype.

    Everyone critic(Mostly paid shills) and most positive user scores(Of which mostly come from inactive accounts with only one review) are calling this game a masterpiece without any good reason and this is just BS.

    Graphics:Its stunning by all means even for PS4 standards. Character design however looked like ass.

    Voice acting: Again very good, nothing to complain about.

    Gameplay: Nothing to complain about. Its great, but nothing breathtaking or new.

    Story: What I can say is it’s far too long and structurally awkward. But it’s in the second half that this game really falls apart. There is a distasteful theme of underlying patronizing that makes the game feel like a 25 hour endeavor that only exists to tell players off.

    We are forced into performing certain actions we don’t want to do, only then to be admonished for doing so. Often these are contrived parts which compromise the integrity of the characters simply to facilitate certain plot points to get a desired reaction. As such they make decisions that are often fundamentally incoherent and illogical.

    The inconsistency of the treatment of certain characters performing the same actions during the second part is, at times, embarrassingly bad. The ending is a very good example of this it’s laugh out loud ridiculous in its lack of logic. The plot is clumsy, ham-fisted, and trite. Subtle this game is not and comes across as a series of cheap parlour tricks.

    Killing Abby was literally the whole point of the almost the entire game, sparing her made Ellie's journey just all the more pointless. One might argue that she did it because she knew that killing her wouldn't bring her back, but revenge isn't about bringing people back, but giving them justice.

    Ellie also killed dozens of people just to get to Abby, so she might as well have finished what she started, that way the ending would have had a greater impact. At the end, Ellie lost Joel, her father figure and closest thing she will ever have to a family, Jessie, Dina and Tommy threw in the towel on her and left, she got her 2 fingers bitten off, she lost her chance to avenge Joel and she can also no longer properly play Joels guitar anymore, the only memory she has left of Joel, forcing her to leave it behind.

    My Verdict: Everything that made the first TLOU special was just gutted out to the point of being disrespectful, leaving few positives in its place.

    Some might compliment the games Graphics, Voice acting and Gameplay but have to remember that this is a Story driven game. In TLOU 2 case, it absolutely sucked in its core aspect, that being the Story.

    You can't judge a beat-em-up game for its graphics and story when the combos don't work and when it suffers from input lags.

    You can't judge a Strategie Game for its voice acting when it has anything to do with Strategy( Example being Command and Conquer Tiberium Twilight)

    You can not Judge a looter shooter for its Design and Graphics when the game is fundamentally broken. This was also the reason why Anthem failed and got ultimately axed in the first place.

    And lastly, you can't judge a Story driven game for its Voice acting, Gameplay and Graphics when the Story is utter crap.

    Most of the fake users here giving positive reviews can't even make a single convincing argument for the Story.

    What made the previous game special is just gutted out to the point of being disrespectful, leaving few positives in its place.

    I wouldn't be looking forward for a TLOU 3 considering that the majority of the devs behind this and the first game quit the studio due to the horrible working conditions and the abusive crunch that Naughty Dog put these people through. And frankly, im done with Naughty Dog as a whole.    … Expand

    The story would be a lot better with joel alive helping Ellie, on the last moment get revenge on Dina death, the game wanted to surprise, but it's not that what most people wanted to see, the first game is about hope, and a man who lost hes daughter and do everything to save another girl from everything and everyone, se second game feels empty, a journey without a purpose with the bad ending with Ellie not killing Abby.

    Not a bad game but very disappointing.

    The combat feels so good and satisfying, Graphics look great but at the expense of blurring. The story DOES NOT make any sense and the quality is way lower than what was the first part. It has problems with pacing, I fell asleep like 3 times while playing it. I was expecting a masterpiece like the first part was, but we just got an okay job.

    I truly hoped that this game didn't sell well.
    Many people below have already given their opinion, so I just wanted to demonstrate how dissatisfied I am for playing this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is really destroyed by a poor story. They have used the old revenge story as a crutch to make a sequel instead of writing something interesting in the beautiful world they created. The killing of joel is a perfect example of trying to shoehorn a character into this game that has not earned their place and then being forced to play as that character is just insulting. They do not redeem themselves and instead come across as psycopathic. The ending is a big let down with no payoff. They think they are being clever by letting Abby go when in fact its just weak storytelling. The good are the graphics, which are beautiful. The voice acting is good. The game play is OK and though a step forward is not a huge step. I enjoy playing games as an escapist means to get away from the world.

    Context: I'm a big fan of the previous games from Naughty Dog and loved the Last of Us. I do understand that some might not enjoy that much the mechanics or find the movement and other things a bit obsolete compared to other games today. But in terms of story, I loved the first game, and was really hyped for the second game.
    When the leaks came out, I read them, was thouroughly dissapointed, but decided to give them a benefit of the doubt and I bought the game. There were so many mixed reviews, that I just thought: I want to make up my own mind about it.
    Review: To be fair to the game, I will have to split this into two parts. First, the gameplay is much improved. Having said that, if you did not like the gameplay in the first game, I'm not sure if the improvements will change your mind. It does control more smoothly and there are some improvements to how combat and traversing works. I loved the gameplay and thought that it was a good mix of improving it while still having it feel like the first one. If they ever make a third, I would hope it would feel more modern and quick in terms of responsiveness. The comparison was, though not as bad, I felt kind of clunky moving, like the first Batman in Arkham Asylum. At least I had a sense of that, when compared to how I expected Ellie to move when compared to experience in other games. Anyway, the combat and stealth were all very good, I like the set pieces I played through and it was good. I felt a bit more options this time around given that the spaces are bigger. I thought this was a welcome addition. The graphics are excellent. Not a single word other than that. Let's move to the second part then, the story: I hated every single piece of it. I find it completely disrespectful to the fans of the first game. Comparison I have heard of comparing this game to the last season of Game of Thrones or to the Last Jedi are accurate. I will delve more in the spoiler section, but let's just say that they threw out so much potential in story arcs and character development, just to get rid of our favourite characters, portray others in a dramatically incoherent way this time just to bend to their whim of what they wanted to tell as a story, included new characters that just did not capture me. I hardly cared for them. And when I did (in the sense of story decisions that I would obviously say: do this, the characters seem to not care themselves...) The game is so bad that I have just finished the first half and have no desire to continue playing. Yes, I've started into the second part, but (explained in the spoilers), I am sick and disgusted at naughty dog. I have decided to just wait for Angry Joe to do their twitch stream and I will watch the rest of the game instead of playing, I think it will be more cathartic for me that way. I can't stomach it otherwise.
    So, technically this game is as perfect as it could be for the end of this generation and being a continuation of the first game (technically). Storywise, it just poops on the fans and leaves us disgusted and asking how they, as a studio, could have stooped so low and thought this would be good. I recommend watching reviews that aren't positive to get an idea of what I'm talking, since here I will limit how much I will say. The writers try to come out as philosophical and in result actually just deliver a plot that no one wanted, about the relentless anger and revenge that not even their characters are able to make believable (so many opportunities to turn back), and poor, very poor character development... I couldn't care less.
    Spoilers: .........
    Yes, the leaks were true. The story begins by (after some intro), Joel and Tommy saving Abby (who has come to revenge her doctor father who died when Joel saves Ellie at the end of the first game). Yes, PGA tour Abby kills Joel in a gruesome way with a golf club and you are forced to watch. Yes, you play the second half as Abby but, as I mentioned above, I was so disgusted by this part, I had to stop. By the time they transition anyway, you already know the ending, and I've looked up that you do have to battle against Ellie as Abby.
    This story is sh*t. it is so uninspired. It brings nothing new to the discussion of violence or revenger. It is a soulless plagiarism of the first game, destroying the characters we loved (both Joel and Ellie). There are flashblacks that show a glimpse of what the game could have been. this is an empty shell. I regret buying. The writers did not care about the fans.    … Expand

    The graphics of this game are on another level comparing to the first game. Naughtydog did a very good job on this part as well as the music. However, the plot's many paradoxes failed to capture the audience's interest. If the scenes were placed on a different order, maybe the outcome would be somewhat better.

    This game feels like a slap in the face. The good points first: Fantastic visuals, genuinely fantastic music, and some great acting from the usual suspects(inc elle + joel). Thats where the good stuff ends...The story feels like its utterly motivated by all the wrong reasons. Its a mere vessel to throw identity politics at us and also spit in the face of beloved characters while doing so.This game feels like a slap in the face.

Its a mere vessel to throw identity politics at us and also spit in the face of beloved characters while doing so. Its hard to delve into anything without spoilering, but suffice to say i will not be giving naughty dog another dime after this. Ultimately a lesson in how NOT to treat beloved characters and the effect of awkwardly injecting identity politics into videogames. NOTHING good comes of it as it will ultimately never represent the majority(while never fully satisfying the moniroty its designed to appease) so you are alienating a vast core audience and all the while treating these beloved characters like dirt. Its not rocket science. This is a bait and switch series where they gave us a perfect tale in the first game only to use the sequel to try and sneak in a social justice success story...and it wont work. Other downsides are underdeveloped, unlikeable characters, awful pacing especially towards the end, map size thats big just for the sake of it losing the focus and pacing of the first game. I could go on but even writing about this failure of a game is a chore. Very poor naughty dog...so very poor. Amy hennig must be laughing at this and its taught a lot of people that mainstream game journo's/sites are nothing but mouthpices for large publishers/devs and simply cannot be taken seriously(if that wasnt already clear long before now).… Expand

No the story isn't a dumpster fire and nor is it a masterpiece. As someone who thought the first story was good, the second is similar in that it is a okay story that is told somewhat competently. I can write paragraphs on why some of the common complaints I've heard aren't that big of a deal, but I'll digress for the sake of conciseness. The main issue with the story is the pacing. There are huge swaths of gameplay inbetween the progression of the plot. The first game had the benefit of being about the relationship between Ellie and Joel, where the interactions between the two during gameplay is also plot relevant. Part two is about revenge, and while one could say that the plot is furthered by her slaughter of countless people just to get her revenge, this is a lot less compelling than watching a relationship develop in front of you. The former is more amorphous and harder to see the changes in her character. I know a lot of people like to think that the longer a game, the better it is because you are getting more entertainment for your money. But I think this game would have benefited if it cut content, such that it can tell a tighter story and not have gameplay slow the pacing of its narrative to a boring crawl. But the story takes risks, which I respect and the dialogue is well written. The characters do lack the charm that Ellie had in the first game, but they have a grounded like-ability to them. I can believe that these are real people and not just characters in a video game.

    On the gameplay side of things, it's very similar to the first game and boy do Naughty Dog know how to make engaging gameplay. The game makes sure that you are getting new weapons crafting recipes and enemy types to ensure that you aren't doing the exact same thing over and over. Couple that with the fact that the layout for each encounter is meaningfully different and you'd be hard pressed to get bored of the combat during its run. Contrary to the narrative, the gameplay justifies its length.

    All in all the story was okay. Maybe a 6/10 if I were to be more on the critical side. But it had a point to it and a message to say. They didn't make it to please everyone and if we want to say that games are art (as I believe) then that's okay. But the gameplay more than makes up for it. It is fun even if they apparently don't like to use that word.    … Expand

    Почему высший бал? А почему бы и нет!

    Другие пользователи без основательно занизили оценки этой игры и не потому что там плохой сюжет, графика, есть повестка, персонажи которые не всем приятны... Причина в том что гейм сообщество обижено на Нила Дракмана и ничего более умного они не смогли придумать как насрать заниженными оценками. "Оставьте нас, *****, в покое", так написал Нил в своем обращении к фанатам на негативные высказывания и его можно понять, 7 долгих лет они трудились и вкладывали душу в разработку этой игры, но потом кто-то плюнул этим людям в лицо и слил часть геймплея, после чего игроки стали делать догадки и вырвали все из контекса, чего не стоило делать категорически. На месте студии и Нила я бы отреагировала также, просто очень обидно за команду Naughty Dog. Я еще не успела поиграть, пока нет возможности купить игру, но в ближайшее время обязательно сделаю это, пройду игру от и до и лишь потом поставлю настоящую оценку. Первую часть я проходила впервые в этом году 2020, мне потребовалось пройти ее три раза чтобы оценить по настоящему.

    I madly love the first part, I went through it more than 10 times, but it does not give the emotions that the sequel gives.
    Naughty dogs really managed to make not just a sequel, but a full continuation of this magnificent story.
    The story is truly unique - Constantly overwhelming emotions replacing each other, you literally drown in them, it empties you, this is not just a game, it is a separate art form. An important factor is that the game does not divide the characters and their actions into good and bad, it shows the motivation and desire of each of the characters, and it is insanely cool and realistic. This has not happened in video games yet.
    Naughty dogs managed to magnificently optimize their creation for a generation of consoles that are already living out their last days, and how this game looks on this hardware is just fantastic, it is impossible to count how many great screenshots I took during this game.

    Now to the points that could push you away from the purchase:
    LGBT: is present in a small amount that does not affect this magnificent story.
    Leaked materials: For the most part, they do not meet the truth, and even if you stumble upon spoilers, this game will still not leave you indifferent and will take away all your emotions.

    The game really lives up to its age rating, if you are not ready for serious topics and violence, then this game is not for you.    … Expand

Para empezar los mismos desarrolladores dijeron que querian que la segunda parte se sintiera un juego distinto del primero pero directamente lo que hicieron fue tirar al suelo y escupir todo lo que habiamos jugado del primero y que en ves de que se tratara de cariño y respeto seria de odio y venganza y eso no esta mal como concepto pero a la hora de ejecutarlo en el juego lo hicieron todo mal poniendo personajes que nadie conocia y a nadie le importaban y matarlos para hacer que el jugador "sintiera pena"? no lo e pero el hecho de que maten al personaje principal del primer juego de una manera tan humillante y ridicula solo para que despues a la hora de vengarze ellie decida personarla despues de todo lo que le hiso de matar a la gente que queria y lastimar a dinay tommy y aun desoues de haberla golpeado brutalmente cuando pelea con ella al final solo piensa " a mejor la perdono" es simplemente estupido, ridiculo, lamentable y sin sentido porque lo unico que querian todos los jugadores era matarla de la manera mas dolorosa posible… Expand

    Similar but Improved gameplay over the first. If you don't care for the story its an 8.5. Because this is a cinematic game the story does influence the final score for me. The direction they went is a little cringe at times, and Ellie is very bland and unlikable. I can recommend it gameplay wise, but you likely won't feel the impact as you did with the first game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So first of all this game is visually awesome like nautydog always do. Also the gameplay is more refined but is basically the same of the first, not much of improvement there but its not necessarily a bad thing cause the first is good. But the story is where this game falls apart completely trying to be a Kojima thing trying to be controversial. But trying the player like a character that kills by TORTURING the main character of the first game that saves her life seconds before, and then demanding the player to play with her and see her version? I had fun on this game but this is not a 10/10 i paid for this full price, and and if was a 8 i would paid too but i was ready for a master piece, meta critic should investigate the IDs of the "specialists" that gave perfect scores of a trash story telling like this, the only channel that if was to give 10/10 is digital foundry because of the tec behind the engine and even there is not a ten.… Expand

    The flaw this game had, was the preexisting relationship the players had from the last game, tipping the balance of emotions so far to Joel and Ellie's side that Abby would never be able to convince them of Joel being a bad guy as a legitimate argument. I like how the villain of the story wasn't a person, but the emotional motivations of both protagonists, and that the villain was defeatedThe flaw this game had, was the preexisting relationship the players had from the last game, tipping the balance of emotions so far to Joel and Ellie's side that Abby would never be able to convince them of Joel being a bad guy as a legitimate argument. I like how the villain of the story wasn't a person, but the emotional motivations of both protagonists, and that the villain was defeated when one character grows beyond their emotional impulses and realize they can do better than continue pushing this wheel of hate and violence down the line. I certainly hope that people someday realize the qualities of this game when they are done actively looking for flaws in denial of certain events. That they will find that their emotions came in the way of a quite interesting and different narrative understanding. I think that even if you think the story is less effective this game at least deserves a 6-7 AT LEAST with the gameplay, visuals and worldbuilding. All the 0's are a clear overreaction and emotional irrational attempt to make the gamedevs feel bad about doing what they did to the player's beloved characters. I recommend buying the game and at least try to find the qualities I have found by accepting the premise they put before me and staying off the bandwagon we so easily end up on these days :)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Para mi es un juego de 7.5 o 8, porque? Les cuento como es este juego con lo que he visto y jugado. Como juego es de 10 en todos sus aspectos: banda sonora, fisicas, combate, creacion de elementos, mejora de habilidades, etc. Ahora la historia (SPOILERS) Todo comienza despues de cuatro años desde que Joel y Ellie escaparan del hospital donde estaban las luciernagas, Ahora estaban en Jackson, viviendo tranquilamente, hasta que despues de 3hs de juego muere Joel de una forma estupida, y yo me quede como quiero saber el porque (que se los voy a explicar mas adelante). Empieza la aventura de venganza para Ellie buscando a los responsables, quien el verdugo es Abby, despues de una forma inesperada cambiamos de personaje, ahora manejamos a Abby, despues de la muerte de Joel, quien quiere tener una vida "tranquila". Mediante flashbacks de Abby comenzamos a entender el porque quizo matar Joel, y esto es cuando la historia fue forzada, que dada la casualidad de que uno de los doctores era el padre de Abby. Y ahi decimos "Ah okey ahora entiendo el porque, pero no me obligues seguir jugando con Abby, porque no llegue a conectar con el personaje". Y para odiarla mas tengo que pelear con Ellie, y con la rabia que tenia me dejaba que me matara Ellie y despues segui con la historia y sufriendo, pegandole a Ellie. Despues vemos que Ellie formo una familia con Dina y JJ en una granja, pero no todo es felicidad. Ellie quedo traumada por la muerte de Joel y reinicio su venganza en busca de la persona que le quito la unica figura paterna. No voy a contar mas sobre Abby (queda claro que no me gusto el personaje). La encuentra despues de unos meses en una playa casi moribunda con Lev. Y LA LIBERA!!!! yo me quede como "que haces Ellie volale la cabeza!!!". Pero despues de unos segundos comienzan a pelear y Ellie estaba a punto de matarla pero... Ellie tubo un flashback con Joel un dia antes de su muerte y.... otra vez la libera. No logre entender, todo ese viaje para que, sacrificaste a tu familia, por tu venganza!? Pero despues de un par de dias y con la mente en blanco, no era un final tan malo, osea, quieren dejar un mensaje con el final y lo lograron, pero necesitas una cierta capacidad para entender el mensaje. Piensen en esto, tardan 7 años para la parte 2, sera por algo a que llegaron a ese final. Pero bueno es mi opinion y cada uno lo toma como quiere. Mi puntuacion de este gran juego es 8. No digo mas.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
