    I just finished the game 5 hours ago and i didn't want to do this but i need to say it. Man, if you are thinking of buying this part ll and you loved the first game, please don't. It's not worth. They just **** in all what we loved of The Last Of Us. I'm really disappointed. There'll be no way to see Naughty Dog and Neil with the same eyes I used to.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ojo por ojo, y el mensaje escondido en un videojuego
    [ESTA REVIEW CONTIENE SPOILERS]

    The Last of Us vuelve luego de un final cerrado. El primer título de la exitosa serie de Naughty Dog había dejado a los fans encantados. Pese a no ser de los mejores juegos, la historia había conmovido a más de uno. Y aquí nos encontramos con su segunda entrega, ¿tiene algo que contar? Realmente no. Y lo que intenta contar, lo hace de manera incorrecta.

    Recordemos que el primer juego ya tiene más de 7 años y no ha envejecido del todo bien. Sus mecánicas para la época eran decentes sí, pero no más que eso. La ambientación e historia siempre han sido la única real excusa para siquiera pensar en jugar The Last of Us. Y esta segunda entrega entrega aún menos que la primera. Es, sin lugar a duda, la peor secuela en la historia de los videojuegos, aún superando al Duke Nukem Forever.

    Vamos a hacerlo corto, porque reviews del juego hay por muchas partes. Peor no hay una verdadera opinión honesta.

    El juego no merece, ni por casualidad, una nota de 8, 9 o incluso 10. Tiene muchísimas fallas para siquiera acercarse a eso. Pero menos tiene de 0, 1 y 2. Porque hay cosas que hace muy, muy bien. Y por eso se merece crédito. Para bien o para mala, aquellas cosas que hacen muy bien se ven completamente opacadas por lo terriblemente malos que resultan el resto de los aspectos.

    Esta continuación que ocurre 5 años después del juego original aporta absolutamente nada a la historia, hasta tal punto que si uno pudiese borrarse el recuerdo de lo que pasa en esta segunda entrega, estaría al día con el universo de Ellie y Joel.

    Lo único bueno del juego es la ambientación. Y con esto me refiero a banda sonora y gráficos. De lo mejor que van a ver los usuarios de PlayStation hasta la próxima generación, muy a la par de lo visto en Red Dead Redemption 2. Con respecto a la banda sonora, la ubicamos en algo "bueno" y hasta ahí.

    Y acá viene lo malo: la historia, la jugabilidad, la innovación, el mensaje y el juego en sí.

    Empecemos por detallar lo más básico que es innovación y jugabilidad. Con respecto al primer título, no vemos mejora algo. Para los tiempos que correntener que lidiar con la jugabilidad de esta segunda entrega es similar a un juego del 2015. Se siente viejo y lento. Demasiado violento. Intenta demostrar que "detrás de cada personaje hay una persona con una historia atrás que contar" y otro montón de cosas extra. Por supuesto que esto es mentira. Cada personaje no es único además del nombre que lo caracteriza. Cuando mueren, su existencia se desvanece por completo. Nunca más se hace mención de esos personajes, aún de los secundarios. Como mucho aparecen unas cinco veces en todo el juego y luego aparece Thanos, chasquea los dedos y las memorias de todos los aún presentes se deforman.

    Las escenas de sexo están de más. Simplemente innecesarias. Y las escenas de drogas, ¿qué sentido tienen? Es todo para hacer al juego un poco más "cool" de lo que no es.

    La historia sucede en un orden bastante interesante, digo esto porque parece que se organizó a último momento. Tiene toda la pinta que al atrasar el juego hasta junio de 2020, luego de múltiples retrasos y una larga espera, juntaron todo lo que tenían en una presentación de Movie Maker y se olvidaron de reorganizar la historia. ¿Por qué todo pasa en un orden tan poco único? Ya que menciono el orden, es importante destacar la tan penosa y descarada muerte de Joel. El personaje principal y más carismático de la primer entrega termina siendo aniquilado de la manera más humillante posible y durante las primeras horas de juego. No hay ningún tipo de cariño o recuerdo. O bueno, sí que lo hay... presente en forma de "flashbacks" a través de la secuencia de Ellie. No hay desarrollo alguno de los personajes, son todos planos.

    Por último, el mensaje que intenta dar "ojo por ojo, diente por diente y el mundo se quedará ciego" junto con "la venganza es mala". Es realmente lamentable. En ningún mundo Ellie dejaría, tras haber perdido absolutamente todo, vivir a Abby. Simplemente no hay mundo parelelo para permitir que esto pase. Recorrer todo un mundo, dejarlo todo atrás, abandonar a su hijatro y prometida, perder a Joel, todo por "sed de venganza". Venganza que no es cobrada. Y destacar que ella pierde dos dedos en el intento.

    The Last of Us: Part II hace todo mal y es por eso que se merece un 4.0.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of my favorite games ever. It looks beautiful, I love the gameplay and story. It managed to make me be able to sympathize with Abby who I really wanted to hate. It made me realize that the only reason we took Joel's side was because we played as him and saw things from his perspective. I felt conflicted when Fighting Ellie as Abby and vice versa, because I wanted them both to be able to move on. I did have a couple issue though. Once we got to the climax, the story rewound three days. I wanted to rush through that part because I was dying to know what happened next. I also feel like since Tommy and Joel had just saved Abby's life, she should probably have even a little hesitation before shooting him in the leg and murdering him with a golf club. I also feel like she got a little too lucky with finding Joel almost immediately and having the perfect reason to lure him back to her group.… Expand

    This game does a great job of making you see things from other perspectives. Everyone hates Abby for killing Joel but what Joel did at the end of the first Last of Us was worse. Abby killed the man who destroyed the best chance of getting a vaccine. Abby isn't perfect and there was no reason for her to torture Joel and she did some bad things in hers past as well but she is not the bad guy.    … Expand

    The story. The first half of the game is great. You have your mission as Ellie and you really feel what she feels. Then you get to the second part and if you are like me, you want to just throw the game out. But it was during that second half when I started to question myself, whether it is even worth to get our revenge with Ellie. And you realize, that this is what they were going for. To make you ask yourself, whether it is worth. The last mission was perfect for this. You really are in the position, where you are not sure, whether you are doing the right thing. The ending perfectly summarize all of yours and Ellie's feelings. It is not what we hoped for, but I think it is so much more. Every fan of the 1st game should give this a chance and to sit through it till the end. No matter the leaks, the flaws, or that you are not satisfied that Ellie did what she did in the end. I think it delivered bigger story than this generation of gamers can really appreciate by looking at the reviews. I know people have different opinions and that's fine. But we should try to look for the deeper meaning in the story, than just a dull revenge. We've seen this kind of story so many times. Naughty Dogs made something, that we were just not ready for and I love it. I don't regret a single minute spent with this game and I can't wait to play it again.

    For those of you who saw the leaks or stopped playing the game after the golf scene and think this game is **** Everyone loved Joel from the 1st game. Watching him die was a punch in the face. But it was not unexpected. At the end of the 1st game we killed the Fireflies. A group that was trying to save the world. That was a very bad move for Joel, even if it meant saving Ellie. So you could have guessed he will have enemies that are trying to get a revenge for that. When you watch Joel die, you feel the same thing as Ellie. You just thing it's **** and you want to kill them for it. But try to sit through it. I knew about the leaks, but I honestly didn't care. I knew they had their reasons for it and that it will be worth it. It was. Just don't play it like "This game is ****". Give it a chance and you may find yourself being grateful for doing so. If you still think it's ****, I don't blame you and I respect it.    … Expand

    Great and ambitious game that dared to tell a story from both sides of the coin. This is a direct continuation of the previous game, we play as Ellie and Abby (Not at the same time).

This is a direct continuation of the previous game, we play as Ellie and Abby (Not at the same time).

    Both characters have their own side of the same story, but the story is linear so there are no choices that will affect the outcome of the overall narrative.

    Spectacular graphics, bigger levels to navigate through and explore and overall improved controls over the previous game, and the stealth is very good (But could be improved), also the sound design; ambiance, guns, monsters and enemies are over the top, alongside with very polished animations.

    Problems i had with the game:
    - Stealth while mostly good it is impossible to do a pacifist run because some levels are designed in a way that two guards dont move from the same position blocking the only way to the exit. Also non-lethal weapons are not existent (This is a problem for me since i like to not kill people in games if i have the opportunity)

    - Also in some levels even though you got pass all the enemies around they will get alerted because the only exit is blocked by a QTE.

    - The story structure; While at the climax of Ellie's story, there is an abrupt rewind where you play as the secondary protagonist to see her side of the story.

    - No skins / funny unlock-ables: Previous game gave you a few skins to have fun while replaying the campaign, almost all games that came from this company (Naughty Dog) have this feature (Eg: Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3, Uncharted 4, The last of us), you could unlock in-game stuff like Models, concept art but nothing you can use in the campaign.

    At least you have new game+ with all your upgrades and weapons.

    No chemistry: Previous game had you sympathize with all its cast (Bill, Tess, Ellie, Marlene), while this game introduces many more characters to the cast you don't feel the same level of attention put into them, at least on the first half of the story, second half introduces a character from a faction known as "Scars" and i liked their part of the overall narrative.

    Definitely a game you should try at least once, but overall i did not like a few design choices, mostly stealth levels and sometimes i felt like the game dragged for too long, the story was interesting but overall it didnt captivated me as much as the previous entry.    … 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.
