    Fantastic story and the gameplay is also improved with many new types of encounters and strategies you can use.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego de es bueno, su gameplay es exquisito, es frenético cuando tiene que serlo y sigiloso cuando debe serlo también. Gráficamente es de lo mejor que he visto jamas. El problema es la historia, en un principio molesta la muerte Joel pero a la larga se entiende el por qué pero los hechos tan convenientes paraa que Abby se encontrará con Joel no me convence. El segundo problema y el mas grave es que te obligan a jugar con Abby mas de la mitad del juego, intentan que te encariñes con ella a la fuerza, digo okay esta bien entiendo sus motivos por el cual quería matar a Joel. Pero no era necesito extender tanto su historia con flashbacks a montones, de su relación amorosa y el trío con problemas que realmente no me interesa en lo mas mínimo para que al final no se sepa que fue de ella. Entiendo que ella terminó haciendo lo que Joel, traicióno a todos por proteger a alguien. Quiza si hubieran intercalado entre historias se hubiera hecho mas llevadero. Pero lamentablemente llega un momento en el que jugar con Abby bastante tiempo es molesto y pesado sin mencionar que las mejores secciones se las dieron a ella dejando a Ellie en un segundo plano demasiado marcado otro pequeño problema que no tiene nada que ver con homofobia es el tema forzado de las dudas y orientaciónes sexuales. Por ejemplo, hay una sección con Ellie en donde hay una calle con banderas LGBT y el pavimento pintado del mismo arcoiris y ¿realmente era necesario? Y en un local de esa misma calle hay un libro del poderío femenino ¿wtf?, sean mas discretos. El otro problema es la niña que se siente niño. ¿Really? , ese fue el personaje trans mas forzado que he visto jamas, solo faltaba que la hermana fuera bisexual. Repito no me molesta que tengan dudas de orientación, pero si que fuera TAN FORZADO. Es triste por que Naughty Dog se lave las manos diciéndole a sus fans homofobicos para justificar esta mala decisión que estoy seguro que saben que forzaron. En resumen, en juego es muy bueno, rejugable y disfrutable pero es cierto que pudo ser mejor si no lo hubieran querido hacer inclusivo y si la historia hubiera sido desarrollada de diferente manera menos pesada por la parte de Abby.

    The game looks and sounds amazing
    Abyssmal writing Characters you don't believe, story that makes little sense, written by a wannabe auteur, who doesn't care about the world and characters from a much better first game, and only cares about drilling the simplistic and obvious message into your head with all the elegance of a jackhammer - that's a 2020 gold

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It took me a few weeks but I finished this, as hopefully all who reviewed the game did. This was a great experience. I won't say it's "fun" or that I "enjoyed" it, but not all story telling is designed around glee. They did an excellent job with the characters and their motivations. I can see why some fans would be upset, but frankly I disagree with that notion. Spending hours playing as Abby, knowing how it ends for her friends I still found myself getting invested, to the point where when it was time to check back with Ellie I was surprised by how villainous she looked from Abby's side of the conflict.

    I'm eager to see more of both Ellie and Abby later. They were both right and they were both wrong and I think that's good story telling. I understand why Ellie stopped at the end. Violence and vengeance is never done and you have to break that cycle somewhere. You have to maintain a little bit of humanity.

    One mark off for the story feeling a little dragged out in parts, but I'm glad I spent weeks playing it instead of days.

    The art is gorgeous, the gameplay pretty standard over the shoulder cover shooter gameplay. If you enjoy QTE you will love this game. The story is pretty “meh” and unoriginal. There is a lot of political pandering, though it isn’t the “OMG SJWZZ!!!” some spastic personalities are making it out to be. Overall a bog-standard 2020 action game.

    I am extremely disappointed and quite frankly really upset with the direction that ND has gone with, with this game. For so long I and we have been waiting to play a sequel to the TLOU a master piece of a game! TLOU2 comes no where close.

    First off the good stuff, the graphics are outright the best I have seen which to be honest was expected considering how good the graphics are in the first game(when it came out) and the technology used to behind it.

    The game play and combat mechanics is still really good but there really isn't much difference here from the first game. There is only some small minor things... you would think after 7 years there would be some decent improvement or changes.

    The Story, the single most important element of the game - imo is a horrible experience to play through, one horrific bad s*** crazy thing after another. This story butchers the majority of characters especially the ones we have come to love from the first game.

    OK... I didn't like what they had done with certain characters but with one character in particular and the whole shocking scene with this said character had effected me quite negatively and from here on out I kinda had to FORCE my myself to play and finish the game(hoping there would be some good).
    Never in my life have I had to force myself to finish a game.

    We are then forced to play most of the story/game as a character who for me... well...hated(and probably for a lot of other people too). Playing as this now "hated" character makes it so much harder to play the game. The game has instantly lost its fun and interest factor.

    Poor character development... I won't elaborate to keep this review spoiler free.

    TLOU was and still is a fun, interesting, thrilling game to play and even though its 7 years later its still not bad to look at(graphics wise). The game has set the bar.... with the exception of the graphics TLOU2 however does not live up to that purely because of the continuation of horrible story events, poor character development and playing as a hated character through out!

Sin embargo, Joel no lo mató cruelmente como lo matan a el. Y Ely no la mata por pena, anda más pena dio el pobre Joel que esta asesina cruel. Se hace muy pesado a la mitad del juego, lo único que espero es el multijugador. Expand

    Great graphics, motion capturing, background design, and voice acting. Props to the Naughty Dog team for that.

    Além de uma história forçada de vingança, sem muito sentido no enredo e ocultando seus erros com apelo ao movimento lgbt dentre outros , é totalmente esquecível e nada comparado a seu antecessor .

    It wasn't written for the same group who made the first one, just, can't be!
    This game history make us fells like they cherry-pick social warrior's tweets and then made a narrative of it.

    A generation defying masterpiece from Naughty Dog.

    The journey from beginning to end is one that i can't stop thinking about, it's been 2 days since i've finished it and i've found myself watching videos explaining the world and virus from TLOU.

    The journeyis fascinating.

    I give this game a 9/10.

    Reasons why. 1) 8.5/10 Story. the game story had played me like a emotional guitar. Loved every moment of it. Ending felt kinda anti climactic little bit, just like original game, were it just ends and you want more. You will feel like its world of Game of Thrones. Bring box of tissues. Oh and a bucket to clean up the blood. 2) 10/10 Enviorment and Atmosphere.

    1) 8.5/10 Story. the game story had played me like a emotional guitar. Loved every moment of it. Ending felt kinda anti climactic little bit, just like original game, were it just ends and you want more. You will feel like its world of Game of Thrones. Bring box of tissues. Oh and a bucket to clean up the blood. 2) 10/10 Enviorment and Atmosphere. attention for detail. I love how almost every door is openable, i love how in certain sections of the game its explorable, also i love how you can see destintion out in the distance and you slowly making your way towards it thru the ruined city. That is awesome. Very very beautifuelly build world and enviorment, they developers completly made great job for the detail of the envoiroment, and made it alot of fun looking for goodies and checking every cornor for upgrades .

    3) gameplay. 9.5/10 its really enjoyable to find your own path, and a way you want to tackle enemies. Stealth thru, use traps, silently kill them with pistol and bow or sneak up murder, throw bottle to attract zombies to attack other humans or outright gun blazing. The combat is alot of fun AI is smarter than in most games like this. They hear you, smell you, try to go around you, slowly advance on you from cover to cover. Try to out number you. Do you flee, fight, or sneak thru. Either way what ever you choose it will leave you wanting more.

    Overall i think length of game was good, interesting to see different parts of the city, which was beautifuelly made. The story was also done in awesome interesting way and i see what deveoplers had went for and i understand it as a whole. I say give it a shot the game is well made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nada que decir respecto a este juego, el echo de comenzar matando al personaje principal más querido lo arruina por completo además añadir la inclusión forzada con el personaje de abby
    que por su historia vivía agarrando a balazos hasta a sus propios compañeros, destacar el ego de Neil Druckmann al ponerse a el mismo dentro del juego como personaje para terminar muriendo tiempo después, en Tlou 1 podías ir en sigilo para no gastar balas, sin embargo, aquí no pasa eso, es solo reventar a balazos a quien se te pase por enfrente.
    Al tratar de poner esa inclusión con abby se arruinaba ya que varias horas del juego te veías forzado a jugar con ella, y despues de un rato quedabas cómo CONCHETUMARE QUE SE ACABE LUEGO ESTA WEA, otro punto negativo son las lineas de tiempo y la poca coherencia entre estas ejemplo un año mas tarde 5 años antes etc

    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]
