    Apesar de todo el Hate que recibió el juego por ser Diferente a lo que estábamos acostumbrados , no deja de ser un gran título
    Desde la profundidad de este , hasta la simbólogia , gráficos , jugabalidad , Accesibilidad , entorno , banda sonora , sonido etc.
    Es hermoso en este juego
    Es lamentable saber que la comunidad gaming no está preparada para juegos de este calibre y narrativa...
    Naughty Dog se fue por el camino difícil
    Logrando conseguir una Narrativa espectacular
    Obvio tiene sus fallas , pero son pocas al pedazo de juego que es este.    … Expand

    This is a great game, intellilgent, profound, too devastating and painful to be fully understood by those who wanted just a videogame and a happy copy of the first story.

    This is not a revenge story, this is an adult story about pain, grief, regret and forgiveness, all things that were there also in the first game, and I am sad to see that a lot of people didn't even understood the first game at this point, if they thought something positive could come out by such an important final decision in a world full of hate that still lives on just hard survival. Hate that made these characters blind and ruthless, the same blind hate that is guiding users right now, they don't listen, they don't want to understand, they don't even try, they just proceed to go on with their hate, they just want their revenge, they just need a golf club and they will be exactly that character that is getting the most hate. Because the people we love are heroes, don't they ? They do no wrong, also when they clearly do.
    It shows exactly how much it is hard to deal with truth and pain, isn't it ironic ? Or it makes this game even more important ?
    Can't wait for Part 3, thank you so much for this amazing journey.    … Expand

A game scenario is not written like a book it's not designed to transmit emotions with words, that's the job of the actors and the animation and, boy, does this game do it incredibly well.

    Graphics, animation, and gameplay: it's Last of Us 1, but greatly improved, but everybody agrees on that, that's not the controversial topic, is it? They all talk about the scenario.

    Scenario: Not as charming as the first game, but way more creative. People confuse their anger towards the events with the quality of the scenario, whether you agree or not with the scenarist's choices the writing in this game is great. The story will make you feel all sorts of emotions, will tear you apart and leave you in the dark credits with only a soft guitar rift to process what just happened to you. It's brutal, realistic, and not sugar-coated with Hollywood's ''feel good'' clichés. The story takes liberties and risks to try to be something different rather than going in the fan-pleasing route, as an immense fan of the first installment, I appreciate that.

    I don't want to spoil anything because I think to appreciate the game fully you need to just blindly jump in it, but please give this game the chance it deserves and play through the entire thing and come here to give it an honest score.

    We need to counter all those crazy people blinded by rage who are trying to review-bomb this game without even playing it or, just as bad, by giving it a 0/10, completely ignoring the incredible graphical work, music, sound design, animation, bug testing and actor performances that went into this game because they didn't like the scenario. Even a story-driven game is more than just a story, they hurt the entire single-player story-driven game market by doing that and it worries me that companies will decide the battle royal genre or buggy, repetitive and cliché annual franchises are the only games worth investing in.

    In short: An incredible game wasted on the worst gamer generation in history, blinded by hype, story leaks, and their own idea of what the story should be. (also, it pains me to say this, even homophobia)
    To me, this game is a masterpiece but I understand reasonable complaints that people have that could lower this game to a 7 or 8 out of 10, but below that it's just unreasonable.    … Expand

Definitely worth binging if you're not working with the best memory as a side note, because apparently the plot got confused for some, and as someone who finished this in 2 nights I didn't have that problem at all. The hate seemingly comes from the anti-sjw crowd and is completely unwarranted. The majority of the criticism came before the game was even released long enough to finish it so it can be mostly chalked up to review bombing. Well, that and the leaks were extremely accurate so people knew how the game was going to go EARLY.… Expand

    I went into TLOU 2 completely blind, without any spoilers, trailers, gameplay, leaks or anything out there before the release day. Personally, I prefer experiencing games, series, books and movies this way in order to enjoy the full experience as the creators meant it.

    Back to the game, I am a big fan of the first game, I played it 4 times. I got the second game on release day and I loved it from start to finish. I wanted to explore as much as possible and It took me around 37 hours to finish it. After it, I wanted to see how the gaming community feels about it and how similar or different my thoughts compare to theirs. I started by watching critic reviews that turned out to be unanimously positive. After it, I proceeded to check the user scores and to my surprise it was averaging at 3.5 on Metacritic with more than 20k reviews in less than 2 days. This spiked my curiosity to understand this discrepancy, so I decided to read and listen to many opinions along several platforms like YouTube, News Articles, Metacritic.

    It took me almost a week to go through the most relevant opinions I found. The majority of positive reviews dedicate time to analyze the different aspects in the game like story, technical achievements, innovations, gameplay, artistry, and so on. All this detailed analysis made me appreciate the game even more. On the contrary, the negative reviews rush to rant the one or two aspects they disliked and score the entire game based on that, which I consider it is an unrealistic way of evaluate a game so full of details.
    For what I could see, you guys are the ones to blame for ruining the story for yourselves by over analysing teasers, trailers, leaks, and info out there. I don't need to delve into a review of the story myself. There are more than enough objectively made video reviews that show the master craft in the making of this game.

    All this brought me to my conclusion and my updated score. I fully respect that we all can have different opinions, but when I see that 80% of user reviews give the game a 0/10 after just a few hours of it being released, I cannot trust what people are saying. The story can be interpreted in different ways and subjectivity has a big presence here, but that will not negate the professionally developed piece of art this game is. I am part of the digital entertainment industry and I appreciate all the hard work put behind this amazing game.

    I recommend this game to anyone willing to go through a mature realistic depiction of a post-apocalyptic world full of danger.    … Expand

    Emotionally 10/10, got everything I’ve been looking for. Technically, at the end I was a bit tired of gameplay, but the story kept me going. I’d recommended to spread the game out, take a break if you feel like the combat is getting old. Come back in a day or two, the story doesn’t disappoint.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. --SPOILER ALERT--

    First I'd like to preface that I really don't understand the hate this game is getting, I honestly think that if Joel were the main character and NOTHING else about the game were changed then people would be giving this game the credit it deserves.

    This is one of the best tellings of a revenge plot I've ever experienced, truly a breath of fresh air for a type of story that often only ends up being a cliched justification for brutal power fantasy without having to feel any guilt. The story reminds me in some ways of Spec Ops: The Line (an underrated gem btw) in the sense that it reminds you constantly that even though violence can feel cathartic and justified in the moment it often only leads to worse and worse outcomes, creating a cycle of violence that festers and destroys a person until/unless they're willing to break that cycle by learning to let go.

    Ellie's journey begins as what feels like a justified tale of revenge in a morally grey world. Those who have played the first game grew to love Joel, to understand that he, like virtually everyone else in this world, is a product of his environment. A person shaped by loss, tragedy, violence and desperation, someone who had lost all hope years ago but over the course of the story managed to regain it thanks to the genuine human connection and paternal instincts he felt with Ellie, and she him. For the first time in a long time Joel had something to fight for that actually mattered, something righteous in an unrighteous world. Joel's tale, while brutal, feels just, he's protecting a child. As this games story unravels you realise that this story is not just and that Ellie is actually the bad guy.

    Abby's revenge, while still wrong as it involves the killing of a human being is justifiable in that Joel killed her father, Ellie's subsequent quest isn't, as it involves the killing of dozens of people uninvolved with Joel's murder as well as the friends of Abby. You may say, fairly so, "but Joel was basically Ellie's dad?" and you'd be right, but context matters. Abby killed Joel because he killed her father, the only man capable of creating a cure. He may have had to kill Ellie to achieve that but Ellie makes it clear that she would've been okay with that. Ellie is the "bad guy" of this story, the closest thing to a villain.

    You may say "but at least Abby got her revenge, Ellie didn't", this is true but it came at the cost of everyone she cared about. It came at the cost of Nora, Manny, Owen, Alice, Mel and Mel's unborn child. Then they both got a second chance, Abby with Lev and Ellie with Dina and JJ. Abby chose to let go, to not pursue Ellie even though she now had just as much reason for revenge against her as she did with Joel, but the events of Seattle brought her to the understanding that violence only begets violence, that, to quote Arthur Morgan "Vengeance is a fools game", so she moves on. Ellie does not. This is why at the end of the game she is seemingly left with nothing, even unable to play the guitar, one of the few things that gave her a connection to Joel because she lost two of her fingers in the final confrontation with Abby, something that would've never happened if she took the chance to move on as Abby did. She did this to herself.


    Last but not least, how's the gameplay? If you played the first one you'll already feel right at home here. But just because the mechanics haven't changed enough to be unrecognisable that doesn't mean they haven't evolved in meaningful ways. The addition of being able to prone, hand-made silencers, canine enemies that can track your scent and honestly pretty clever AI make for an amazing synthesis of survival horror and stealth unlike anything I've played before. Seriously if you're a fan of stealth games and are still trying to find something to satisfy your craving, thanks to the stealth game drought since the end of MGS and Splinter Cell, then I couldn't recommend this game enough, you won't regret it.

    My only real criticism of the game is that the prologue is a really slow burn, and this is the kind of game that lends itself to multiple playthroughs with a new game plus mode, so that can be a bit of a slog. It'd be nice for Naughty Dog to add in a feature in the future to skip to Seattle at the beginning of a new game plus playthrough.

    I'm a bit confused about all the complaints over the game being supposedly political simply for including literally three LGBT characters. Hate to break it to you but LGBT people have always existed, proof goes as far back as antiquity, so there is no reason to believe they wouldn't exist in a post-apocalyptic world either.its only political if you force it to be political.

    Overall fantastic game, well worth the price of admission. I'd recommend it to anyone that loves games with a heavy focus on story, as well as to anyone that is particularly a fan of survival horror or stealth games.

    The combat is brutal and satisfying, the environments beautiful yet haunting and the score is masterfully crafted, but the greatest achievement of TLoU2 is its harrowing story of loss and revenge.

    But in all seriousness. I've enjoyed many triple A games over the years and many were able to bring tears of both happiness and sadness to my eyes. TLOUPII however, is a different beast. It doesn't pull any punches and literally makes you followthrough on few of those by yourself. And not all of them are as easy as pressing square. Every hit makes you feel... emotions and a lot of doubt. If this isn't the definition of art then I don't know what is.
    This is easily THE GAME of my life. Nothing even comes close.
    On the other hand, if you're into games for the graphics, brutal combat and environmental storytelling... this game is also for you. Just watch some cool combat clips on youtube or digital foundry's analysis if you find it hard to believe.
    Whatever people think of the story, the gameplay and the world presented are worth 10/10 by themselves.    … 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...
