Existen partes en el desarrollo del juego tan bein orquesta das que te hacen sentir parte del mismo, a nivel de no querer ejecutar comandos, sentir el dolor, la pena o felicidad.

    Do I love Joel and wanted more gameplay/storywise of him and Ellie? Yes, of course, we all expected (wanted/wished for) that.
    Do I think this could have been TLOU3? Maybe, probably. Debatable.
    Do I respect the director's decisions and storytelling? Yes.
    Do I think this is amazing and the most intense and remarkable game I have ever played? Absolutely!

IMO the first game is still better and the story is more focused on the characters and everything around them. My favorite part of the second game were the flashbacks, they were everything I wanted to know after the first game ended. 9/10

    To enjoy this game you have to be oppened to everything. Remember: they try to be realistic, so you'll find death everywhere.

    The story is good, they have forced the machine in some ways that might disconnect you from what's happening. Even so, you'll find the end rewarding if as I said, you're oppended to what's new.

    This game is art in its brutality.

    Pros:
    Gameplay. The game improved upon the first in almost every way. Combat is more fluid with dodging, diving, improved animations and fluidity of movement, and more fun thanks to some fun new weapons like bomb arrows. Stealth is more fun than ever thanks to additions like going prone, crafting silencers, enemy dogs (which make the stealth harder, but the extra challenge adds more fun), hiding in grass of varying heights, improved communication and teamwork between enemies, and more.
    Writing. The writing itself is great, whether you agree with the overall story or not. Individual conversations and lines are great, even if the occurrences of fun conversations are fewer and further between. The mid-combat dialogue feels more natural (although it's still peppered with the scripted "I think I saw something. > Go check it out, I'll watch your back") and enemies react better to my actions.
    Visuals: This game looks amazing. The animations in particular are top-notch, some of the (if not THE) best in the industry.
    Story: Great, but definitely not for everyone. People angry about Joel's death are upset *because that's how you're supposed to feel about it.* You're supposed to be outraged. But Naughty Dog made the mistake of thinking people could contextualize their anger within the game like rational beings instead of at the developers. The story is brutal. It's hard to experience. But it's very well-made. You're *supposed* to be angry and confused when you have to play as Abby. The whole point is that it shines a light on how we view Joel as this hero when he *wasn't.* The cycle of revenge was portrayed extremely well in this story. "Uhh, but she didn't get revenge!" Yea the whole point was that Ellie lost herself when she lost Joel, and Abby lost herself when she lost Jerry (and almost lost herself again later when she lost her friends). People who missed this didn't listen to Joel's song, "If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself." Letting go and putting an end to the cycle was the only way to truly move on and find themselves again. It was a beautiful message that was beautifully told.

    Cons:
    Gameplay: A hell-bent revenge mission doesn't seem as realistic when I'm stopping to pick up notes constantly. Very small detail, but something I couldn't help but chuckle at. As far as difficulty, even on Survivor I found that I had a lot of stuff to spare at most times. I play fairly stealthily, meaning not lots of molotovs or bombs, which contributes to this, but still. I feel like a good way to make resources feel scarcer would be capping our carried resources at 2 instead of 3 on higher difficulties.
    Writing: I personally don't understand the "Joel would never say his name" complaint, but I'll leave that here since it's such a common complaint and one that may be reasonable. Personally, I feel as though he followed Tommy's lead (and Tommy has been living in Jackson much longer so he's likely softer).
    Visuals: idk there were a couple of visual bugs that were funny? No real complaints here.
    Story: Abby's tale should have lined up better with Ellie's, where we're playing the other side of the story, but that would have been difficult considering she was the only enemy in those areas of the game (not the Seraphites). I just was excited to go through and see the effects of Ellie's actions from her point of view and we don't really get that until the aquarium on Day 3. The Seraphites seemed to contradict a lot of what Naughty Dog accomplished with the WLF. The WLF broke the trope of being the generic nameless enemies. They may have seemed pure evil after the events early in the game, but we see that's not the case later on when we get to play as Abby and see the amazing communities they've established. They're just like Jackson. The Seraphites are just evil, and presented as such at every turn. They're a violent, fanatical cult without any positive contributions to the world, and they're not even doing it out of desperation to survive like villains from the first game. They're just *evil* and it's so out of place within the rest of the game.

    Coming off the first game, there was almost no way a sequel could live up to it and satisfy everyone. Some people think this means they shouldn't have made it, and that's one argument to be made. People say Star Wars should have been left alone, but each new movie deserves to be judged on its own merits, not just "the originals were amazing and we should've let it die with dignity." Same goes for this. You can think the original is better. But rating this game anything below like a 6 shows you're not truly critiquing the game, you're just ranting.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ****SPOLIERS****
    I started the game without any knowledge of the leaks, yet from the moment I started playing Abby, I knew that she was the one who was going to kill Joel. With this feeling bugging me, I admit that I let her die more than a couple of times during her initial gameplay, and even more when we play her in Seattle. Hell, I thought there would even be an option to lose to Ellie in the theatre so I let Abby die in every scene just in case!

    But after seeing her relationship with Lev develop after the theatre incident, their dynamic reminded me of Joel and Ellie. I still felt disdain for Abby, but I admit that she grew on me and that I enjoyed playing her character. ND made one of the boldest choices a game could, and man, it really paid off. But it’s not the only powerful choice of the game.

    The last battle between Abby and Ellie was brutal, and while I had an easier time beating Abby up as Ellie than I had beating Ellie up as Abby, deep down I didn’t really want to kill her, especially after that flashback of Joel on the porch. It’s just insane to me that ND was able to elicit Ellie’s exact emotions in ME! The ending of letting Abby go was at first bitter - I felt salty that she had a better ending than Ellie. I felt heavy after playing the game, and had a harder time falling asleep. I thought about how there are things/emotions that I could still be holding onto that have the same destructive force as Abby’s and Ellie’s revenge, only internal instead of external. I thought about how our choices propagate to places we never expect them to. I thought about the freedom beyond being controlled by those regrets, and grief, and what it takes to achieve that freedom. I thought about how Joel’s choice to save Ellie was so so human, as was Ellie’s choice to spare Abby. The visual in my head of the former event was of the Chinese principle of Yang (the light with the darkness in it). Ellie’s arc reminded me of yin (the dark with the lightness in it). In a way, TLOU2 ended on a more hopeful note than the original one.

    But after a night of reflection, that heaviness still wouldn’t go away. Maybe it’s something about myself I have to explore more. But I was really attached to Ellie, and wanted her to have her happy ending.

    So I did my research, and I found that the writers were originally going to have Ellie pick Ollie up before she leaves, but felt that was too obvious.

    And then I saw a theory about how Ellie had already visited Jackson and repaired her relationship with Dina. What supported it was Ellie’s change of clothes, the absence of her weapons, Dina’s bracelet on her arm (which wasn’t there when she left for Santa Barbara, and wasn’t in her backpack like Joel’s watch was).

    Then I thought how cruel ND was for not making the happy ending more obvious! But I realized that my initial feelings toward the ending made TLOU2 more than a game for me. It made me look really deep down, and at least realize I have those dark sides too. It made me see how hard it was to deal with grief, and how that grief compels us to turn into people we don’t know. I believe TLOU2 was better than the first one for these reasons alone. The gameplay and the graphics just made this game more of a masterpiece. This game is a mirror to the player’s thought processes - it precisely elicits all of the feelings it sets out to, and the player is left to consolidate the intense emotions. If the player is able to do that, they see the depth of this game, if not, I think I understand where the hate comes from. But the beauty is not in if the player does so or not. It’s in how the player consolidates the emotions elicited. That how, gives the player a location of where they’re at in their emotional world. To me, that knowledge gave me what I was missing in my path to healing.    … Expand

The journey Ellie goes on is one of the best and complex stories told in gaming. Whether it's the cut-scenes, the dialog during game play, the notes and their world building, the environmental storytelling. Everything has a purpose and no game has had me tear up this much since MGS3. Without going into spoilers, it's a game you need to play to fully understand the story and the journey Ellie and others go through.

    Game play wise, this is a step up from everything ND has done before. AI is on a completely different level, as they'll try to flank you, send dogs after you, call out their friends names when they go down, and throw the occasional Molotov after you. Going prone, and the dodge had always worried be in trailers, feeling gimmicky, but I can safely say they enhance combat to a whole new degree. Only critique on the game play aspect is leveling your abilities up. ND takes away choice and forces you to go down a skill tree, where you might have to buy a skill you don't want to get one you do want. It wouldn't be jarring, if TLOU1 gave you complete freedom on which skills you want.

    I shouldn't have to talk about graphics, it's a ND game, it's the best looking game you'll find on PS4. Every area is so detailed, and all enemies have distinct looking models.

    This game means more to me than a lot of games, and the more I think about it, the more I can call it not only my game of this gen, but my game of all time. Not only was this everything I wanted in a TLOU sequel, this is everything I've wanted in a game, the feelings I felt playing, can't be emulated in other games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    Story - Despite what people are saying this is not a revenge story. It has some aspects of a revenge story line, but to call it that is simplistic at best. Ellie's part of this game is occurs mainly because of the scene between her and Joel on the porch after the party. This scene is her motivation more than Abby killing Joel. I think the Abby killing Joel in that manner was more for the player, and making the player want revenge. Ellie also has a happy ending despite what you might think. In the last scene at the farm she shows no emotion to the farm being empty because she knew it was. Quite a bit of time had passed between her last fight with Abby and that scene and she is fully healed an appears to be wearing the bracelet Dina gave her. She is actually coming from Jackson in that scene and has already made up with Dina by that point.
    Joel and Tommy trusting the WLF group was not bad writing. Four years had passed between the first game and this one. They had been spending much of that time bringing people into the community. They had no reason to mistrust a group of kids that are not much older than Ellie.
    Abby's story was mostly about the fact that killing Joel did not bring her peace or closure. Her story was much the same as Joel's story from part 1. Yes you can call this lazy writing, but the writers were trying to make us feel some empathy for her.
    Graphics - Yeah...I think pretty much everyone agrees this is the best looking game on the PS4.
    New Characters - All the new characters were great. Some the of WLFs were a little one dimensional, but they really seemed to flesh out Dina and Jesse, and of course Abby.
    Character Development - Both main characters, Ellie and Abby, had great character development. I don't feel like ND undid anything from the first game in terms of Ellie's character. I do not believe they destroyed Joel's character or made him the villain. Ellie's development is really hard to get until the scene on the porch and it was brilliant for ND to put that scene near the end of the game.

    Neutral
    Game play - The game play was pretty similar to part 1 with some added mechanics. i put it in neutral because there was nothing really groundbreaking here. I did like the fact they found a way to have you play the guitar with a controller though.

    Problematic
    Story Structure -The structure of the story was a little problematic because there were flashbacks and the same story told from two different viewpoints. You can die in some of the flashbacks. For example when you go off as Ellie with Joel to find guitar strings you can die. Having Abby's 3 days come after Ellie's 3 days has a similar issue where you can die as Abby during this time even though you know she ends up at the theater. There could also be an issue with the way Lev gets up onto the balcony of the theater as Ellie could technically leave a bomb trap at the top of that ladder. I don't know if that changes anything if you do this, but either way if it's ignored there is an issue and if Lev gets blown up there is an issue. I guess Lev could see it and detonate it without getting hurt. It may have better to play day 1 as Ellie then day 1 and Abby and so forth. I do not believe playing Abby's part first would have been the correct way to go though.

    Tommy - I don't really like where Tommy ended in this. It would have been nice to see if he was able to move on or not.

    Abby killing Joel - I put this in the problematic because I think ND may have underestimated how much people would hate her for killing Joel especially the way it was done. This seemed to leave a lot of people in the mindset that they could never like or feel empathy for her. I don't know if this was a mistake, but since the second half of the game is set up to try and make you feel empathy for her I have to believe ND believed that people would despite her killing Joel, and that just didn't happen for some people because they their mind was just made up to hate her no matter what for killing Joel. Since the game is set up this way it seems to me ND did make a mistake here in not recognizing just how beloved Joel is. Of course they have stated the game would be divisive, but to me the 2nd half of the game contradicts that as they obviously were trying to get the player to sympathize with Abby.

    i gave the game 10/10 though because despite not being perfect it is still masterpiece. The story really sticks with you and I liked playing as Abby and I liked the choices they made on the characters and while I think the story would work better if it was structured differently it doesn't take away from the fact that the story was brilliant.    … 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]
