    Thoroughly engrossing dramatic narrative meticulously balanced with fluid gameplay mechanics and lush immersive visuals, score and ambient sound design. A plainly pinnacle achievement for the current console generation.

    The gameplay is overall superior to the original, but the story lacks behind its predecessor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es increíble el tiempo que estuve esperando este juego, sin pensarlo, me había encariñado con cada uno de sus personajes en la primera entrega. Una vez llegado el día, en la primera hora de juego muere Joel y con ello mi esperanza de que sea un juego cómo la primera en el cual podemos observar un equipo y relación de padre e hija. Sin embargo cumplió el objetivo de motivarme a buscar venganza y se podría decir que no me importó el tiempo de recorrido y lo largo que fue el viaje. Yo quería vengar y asesinar a cada uno del equipo de Abby.
    Abby sin duda fue de mi total desprecio al comienzo del juego, e incluso podría decir que me quería negar a jugar con ella. Sin embargo, considero que ella es el péndulo entre odiar y amar el juego; pues la finalidad de jugar con ella es que veas “la otra cara de la moneda” y sí, en mi caso funcionó de maravilla. Sin duda no puedes juzgar a una persona por sus acciones o su carácter sin haber conocido su historia, de donde proviene, etc. A la vez es de vital importancia recordar que la historia se contextualiza en un mundo post apocalíptico, aquí no hay buenos ni malos, es una historia con personajes egoístas que buscan su supervivencia de día a día.
    Finalmente puedo decir que la historia me conmovió, me hizo dudar en el final si realmente quería ver morir a Abby y sinceramente estoy satisfecho tanto con los gráficos, la jugabilidad, la banda sonora y LA HISTORIA.    … Expand

    Il gioco più bello della generazione assieme a Red Dead Redemption 2. Tecnicamente impressionate, con un gameplay che perfeziona quello del primo e una trama che ha il coraggio di non imboccare il giocatore con tutto quello che si aspetta ma che cambia le carte in tavole, riuscendo a veicolare meravigliosamente il suo messaggio.

    Amazing attention to detail, challenging gameplay and emotive story line that shows the bleak reality of life post infection. I don’t agree with all the decisions the main protagonists make the but they are a product of their world and experiences, and the game is an amazing story telling saga.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a very polished game. Awesome graphics and gameplay. Story was good and intense. I liked Ellie in the beginning. Towards the end, I didn't like her anymore, but I started to like Abby. Interesting approach to tell that there's no typical good guy/bad guy in such a scenario. This game is a showcase of how important sound is. It ads the same amount to the imersion as the graphics. Could it had a bit more variety? Sure, but it delivers what was expected.… Expand

    "Eye for eye and the world will go blind"
    The last of us Part 2 is a masterpiece of Naughty Dog, it's risky and surprising in every detail, the graphic section is one of the best in recent years, excelling with the performances of each character which reach a new level of realism , also from around the world, and the best thing, we have working mirrors, all this accompanied by a brilliant    "Eye for eye and the world will go blind"
    The last of us Part 2 is a masterpiece of Naughty Dog, it's risky and surprising in every detail, the graphic section is one of the best in recent years, excelling with the performances of each character which reach a new level of realism , also from around the world, and the best thing, we have working mirrors, all this accompanied by a brilliant motion capture
    The sound is not far behind, the screaming, the shooting and every sound in the game is surprising and admirable
    The Last of Us was made by its story and narrative, and this sequel is not far behind, delivering one of the best narratives in recent times, an incredible character development that puts us in context of the story and serves to Fond and understand them, and most importantly, humanizes them, I mean that you aren't the typical guy killing a zombies without receiving any damage, in this game, our characters are in constant danger and we see that they can suffer
    The narrative is again the strong point of this sequel, the way of telling the story is so different and so original that, even though at first it may not completely convince you, as you play the only thing you do is understand and put yourself in the shoes who you control
    A thread of events that perhaps if they were told differently, the game would not have worked.
    An ending that leaves you melancholic that even if your heart breaks it is so real to what the thirst for revenge can cause
    The game has some incredible action scenes, photographically speaking it's a visual wonder, the colors and lights are well controlled and go according to the story and the landscapes are beautiful and varied
    All this accompanied by an incredible soundtrack that at times will make you feel melancholic at times and at others that will make you believe that there is still hope in such a world, since the musical themes are like a ring finger in incredible sequences and others dramatic scenes, but the game also knows when not to put anything in the background, as in a fight that is vibrant for EVERYTHING mentioned so far
    Without a doubt a work that will play with your heart and that in the end makes you reflect and gives you a lesson with the main character
    Without a doubt a more than worthy sequel for its predecessor

    SPOILERS
    Without a doubt the only mistake of the game, is the death of Joel, he had to die in a way faithful to his character, I mean, that in the first game He would never have trusted someone he just met regardless of the circumstances, and here he gives him the name within a few minutes, in addition to being one of the best PlayStation characters, they must have made him a farewell, a scene or a monologue of the characters at the end of the game, something like a letter to Ellie talking to her or a scene from him with a good musical background that will bring us one more tear, a scene that I hope to see in a potential third and final installment
    The end of the game where Ellie forgives Abby is a more than convincing solution for this game, just think about it, there are three very clear reasons, the first and is that the cycle of revenge would never have ended, because Lev would go after Ellie, and Dinna would go after Lev in an endless cycle, the second is that Abby forgives Ellie twice and the second time she shouldn't do it, and the third is that he She realizes that she's doing the same things Abby did to Joel
    Many people dom't empathize with Abby because they say that the way he kills Joel is inhumane, it is, but we have to understand that Joel condemned humanity, although of course we still don't know this when he dies and that is why that we hated Abby at the time, but in a world without rules Abby was only taking revenge, or Didn't we enjoy torturing Nora?, because we still don't know why they killed Joel, all this narrative thread is so good because it makes us realize how bad each of us is and that we never put ourselves in the other's situation. We aren't interested in why, but we already act accordingly. One of the best narratives in history
    Even though in the end the fact that Ellie could no longer play the guitar because of losing your fingers is so heartbreaking, it becomes a great example of how the game gives a lesson because this accompanied by the fact that the whole house is empty makes you realize of Ellie's mistake and it's just fascinating how we tell it.
    I would love a DLC of Ellie going to see Dinna because it's something very sad even though it also serves as a lesson that we can lose everything if we become obsessed with something.
    I would love to o see Ellie happy after all of this, since Abby is on the menu.
    A third part is necessary to give a great closure to this great saga, as long as the quality of its games is maintained in addition, a trilogy has always sounded poetic, would be a great way to conclude with one of the best stories that history has given us, not video games, but art in general    … Expand

    Sobre la propaganda progre, no tengo problema que aparezca en el juego porque no tiene nada de malo el lesbianismo ni todo lo que quisieron implementar de forma intensiva, en donde si tengo problema es que le dedicaron más tiempo a hacer su propaganda de forma impecable y perfecta antes que dar una buena historia, que aun podia incluir la propaganda progre y seguir siendo una buena historia (porque ya nosotros sabiamos que Ellie era lesbiana o al menos lo sabíamos los que jugamos el DLC de la parte 1).
    Antes de que digan que soy LGTBI+-Fóbico entiendan que he dado argumento que la historia es basura, esto es un juego que el mundo esperó por mucho tiempo y ha pagado mucho por ello, ustedes recibieron apoyo de los fans y los fans se llevaron una historia como para no pedir una tercera parte, si quisieron quitarnos las ganas de querer mas juegos de la saga, pues ganaron, de verdad han decepcionado y siento que hasta Estafado a los fans a los consumidores con Trailers engañosos, que no me hubiera importado si hubiera sido un juego sin renombre y demás, pero en ustedes han pesado, Naugthy Dog para mi era una empresa seria, que ahora parece ser que más le importa satisfacer minorías que a sus propios fans.
    Verdaderamente lamentable, con una jugabilidad preciosa como la que mostraron en esta entrega pudieron haber hecho el juego del año. La prensa los alaga porque la prensa es preferencial.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is something that nobody has ever created yet. That was the first game that gave me so many emotions, both positive and negative. In a case of the gameplay, music, visuals, level design, or environment it's a certain 10/10 from me. However, things are turning complicated in the story aspect. They went beyond the template while writing this game. ND wanted to show how cruel the world in which our protagonists had to live is. In this world, there are no good or bad people, they're just people who try to survive at all costs. Another thing is the ending which in my opinion makes sense because they wanted to show that revenge is a fool's game, and you can lose everything that you have during the way of getting it. This game isn't satisfying but it wasn't supposed to be. The only thing that is bad about this game is the careless storytelling. They've tried to show this story from two different sides, but as a result, they wasted about 10 hours of gameplay. Pointless chapters that were supposed to change our point of view but in fact, they have turned the protagonist into an antagonist and conversely. Neil just simply shouldn't have done that. If the story was supposed to be about Ellie and Joel, then why would you add character such as Abby and turn her into the main character. But the fact is if the game isn't fan service, (as we used to know in many video games) it doesn't mean that the game is bad. People are usually afraid of the unknown and sometimes the unknown isn't as happy as we expected. Some people said that people are not ready for this game. Now I totally understand what they meant. My final rate is 8/10 because I think this game is one of the most important games of the generation and you should play it on your own no matter what you've heard.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Reading through the user reviews here makes me more depressed than the grim, post apocalyptic world of TLoU series. Seriously, you guys made it seem like the story is SO disgustingly bad written, that I almost haven’t bought the game. I’m glad I gave it a shot after all. Now, we all know the game is visually stunning, the acting is incredible and the gameplay, while loved by some folks, has never been in the spotlight. So I’m just gonna focus on the story, cause this part’s been getting so much sh*t and I don’t think it deserves it. Part II is a commentary on what Joel did in the first game. Joel decided to sacrifice humanity’s future in exchange for his own comfort and paternal instincts. His relationship with Ellie was absolutely unique, which made me go “HELL YES, LET’S SAVE HER” when I played the original TLoU, but let’s face it - morally it was very questionable. Part II takes Joel’s actions and shows consequences in a way that made me devastated, but deep down I felt Joel got what he deserved. I think killing Joel off within the first hours was brutal, but fully justifiable.
    The one thing that was bugging me throughout the game was Ellie - why is she so blinded with revenge, why is she willing to sacrifice literally everything she has just to avenge Joel. As the game moves forward, we find out about her complicated relations with Joel once she realized what he did in Salt Lake City. I felt for Joel for the way Ellie rejected him every time they were on screen in Part II. I think Ellie’s guilt for the way she treated him was the main driver of the events in Seattle. Again, story is intense, but fully justifiable.
    Then there’s Abby. This is where most critique hits hard, and I understand why, yet disagree. The game forces you to play as the character that you utterly hate. Yes, at first it was a little off (kinda annoying with having to rebuild all gameplay skills all over), but shortly Abby turned out to be a truly compelling character that I really cared for. It made me consider that mindless killing from another perspective - not just the perspective of “the bad guys” because Abby’s journey goes beyond group divisions. By the time Ellie got to her on that beach I was thinking to myself “NOO, JUST FORGIVE HER, GO BACK TO THE FARM TOGETHER”. That’s how Abby and Lev grew on me. All in all I think that this “loads of plot holes” and “unlikeable characters” nonsense is just fanboys getting angry, because they didn’t want their original character to be brought to justice, and couldn’t stand a more granular approach to story telling.
    Another thing people disliked was the fact, that most of the story took place in one city. Personally, I think the game really benefited from it, you could really get the grim vibe of the city, feel the topography of post-apo Seattle and soak into the bigger-than-life conflict between two massive groups. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved the journey in TLoU, but would I like to see it again in Part II? Probably not.
    My main problem with the game was pacing - at times I felt overwhelmed with the amount of action, horror and tragedy, it’s like the game wouldn’t stop jump-scaring me. For instance, just before meeting scars for the first time, Ellie gets stuck in a building filled with Stalkers and Clickers. This is a very tense, creepy and long sequence - a lot of zombies, no lights, few resources to pick up. Then she finally breaks out, falls into the river and lands in the sewers. “WOW, THAT WAS INTENSE” I thought, and started looking for new resources, just to be freaking jump-scared by a wall clicker 2 minutes later. And these moments were just too frequent, with not enough “giraffe moments”.
    But all in all, I get what creators wanted to achieve - a much darker tone than the original game. And you made it, it’s just not something I’d like to go through again.
    To sum up - I liked the story. I feel like it’s compelling and a lot of criticism is just anger coming from people who expected Joel to live happily ever after, or those who couldn’t stand Ellie becoming sort of the villain.    … Expand

    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]
