    Great game, amazing graphics and game play. The story is great but it is not designed to please fans, it makes you feel vulnerable and in a real feeling of danger like if any of the characters can die any moment.

    Great play, naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ellie regresa como protagonista y se profundiza a detalle en sus relaciones interpersonales, de pareja y con su defectuosa figura paterna. El viaje que tomará es introspectivo, pues conocerá fragmentos de su pasado que cambiaron la perspectiva de quienes la rodean. Se trata de un ejercicio narrativo efectivo ya que no se siente que se haya traicionado la esencia de los personajes principales. Para lograr lo anterior, las actuaciones de Troy Baker y Ashley Johnson son realmente encomiables porque aportan una enorme dosis de humanidad a lo que se ve en pantalla. Ashley es, sin duda, quien se roba el show gracias a una actuación estelar que refleja de forma humana los diferentes matices en cada faceta del personaje de Ellie. Baker, por su parte, retrata a un hombre agotado que carga con demasiado en la espalda y quien busca la redención en una de las personas que más estima en la vida y que, incluso, ama incondicionalmente. En ambos casos, las caracterizaciones son estelares y dignas de todo elogio imaginable.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Over all I gave it a 2.

    I was so mad when I started to write this review I was going to give it a 0 but to be fair the graphics are fantastic, but that is about all I can say good about the game.

    I will be completely honest, I have not yet completed the game but I know how it ends from the many reviews I have read. Knowing the ending of a story does not spoil the experience for me so I often read spoilers on games and movies and still enjoy them.
    I doubt the ending will bother me as much as it seems to have bothered everyone else but I will not know that till i get there, If i get there, there are so many other things to hate about this game I don't know if I will even bother finishing it

    The game mechanics are stale at best and frustrating most of the time There is no real improvement over the first game, the crafting system is almost identical and in some ways worse. I was always full of supplies with the exception of 1 item. sometime it was tape, sometimes it was alcohol but you can bet it was always something just way to scarce on every level. It was the same with ammo.

    I get it you have to be smart with your supplies to make it thru a level but if that is what they were going for they failed, you don't have to be smart with supplies. you just have to know what they are going to be shorting you on any given level and don't use it, you will have plenty of something else to get you thru. What is the plan there? is it supposed to be fun to fail at a level and replay it once you know what supplies they will give you? it does not force you to come up with a strategy to get thru just get lucky or replay after you have the answer.

    The Infected are not hard to fight, just time consuming, the bosses on the other hand are ridiculous, for me at least it is more about luck then skill to beat them, run around and hammer them with whatever you find till they die. again no real strategy there just try try again till you find what you need to kill them.

    And for god's sake could you please continue more than 1 second before you are killed. I mean come on, If i learn i need pipe bombs or the flame thrower to kill it why cant i restart the fight with the knowledge i learned while it just killed me. No, continue smash, no time to re adjust you setup, just right back in it. They don't really let you play your own way. I like to play stealth as much as possible but you are forced to run and gun so much. they have the leveling system set up as if you can play thru the game in different ways but you really can not. you have to stealth where you have to, and you have to Rambo it in other places. no real choice.

    I fairly deep into the second 1/2 of the game ,or so I assume based on what I know, and the one thing i can tell you is who ever was in charge of character development should be brought in for a performance review.
    in truth it is not fair to blame 1 person, everyone had to know this game would be hated by the "Last of US" fans, the story and characters are so bad, no one at naughty dog could have miss it. (naughty dog in lower case on purpose, you guys and gals have a lot of work to do if you want to get a "N" and "D" from me again anytime soon). It is sad, the first game was so good, it seems improbable that the second one could be so bad.

    I played the "Last Of Us" several time. I would go back to find more hidden items or just relive the story. everyone you met in the first game had depth. you felt that the character was pulled from someones real life event or felling, It was not just Joel and Ellie, everyone in the game felt real, you loved some people, you hated others, but everyone had a reason for who they were.

    Last of Us Part II could not have been worst.
    I don't care about anyone in this game. I don't even hate anyone, It is hard to love or hate the flat cardboard cutouts they are calling characters
    Joel and Ellie are flat, there is just nothing there, if it was not for the 1st game I would not care about them either.

    Everyone else in the game is as deep and the letter or number I assume they were assigned in the story outline they should have just named them all 1.2.3 or a.b.c. There is just nothing there.

    On the up side if you cant write a good story you can always cram some woke character traits into your characters so you can call everyone a "phobe" or "hater" if they complain. making a character gay or trans is not the same as making a character real or deep, it is just a cheat,

    Before you send the woke police after me, I have nothing against gay, bi, trans or anyone for that matter (I am sorry if I forgot to mention a group everyone is loved and respected
    I hope I used all the right words to describe people in this section. everyone should be who they are and is respected as a person not for their pronoun.    … Expand

    En la cual le falta la emoción que transmitio el primer juego a los jugadores, la segunda parte le falta emoción, una gran historia que continue al primer juego, lamentablemente esta secuela deja mucho que desear, como un juago tan esperaso puede ser aruinado en simplemente 30 horas de juego, sinceramente yo al menos como usuario de ps4 despues de pasar por tantos problemas de la vida real lo único que desea es sentarse y prender la play 4 y disfrutar de una gran hostoria por que sonceramente yo ya veia venir un gran gameplay unas graficas hermosas pero lo unico que sinveramente me importaba era la hostorioa y ver como la aruinaron es una gran desepcion sibveramente que lastimaa .    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really scared of playing this game. I already knew 3 key parts of the story before playing. I knew Joel would die very quickly, I knew I would have to play as Abby for 10 hours and I knew at the end I couldn’t even kill Abby. These three things alone are enough of a reason to scare anyone or to rate this game a 0, however, it just doesn’t matter when combined with the entire experience. Now I am not saying this game is perfect, but certainly doesn’t deserve the hate it has been receiving. Yes, watching Joel die in that way sucks and after finishing the game I still wonder if it was the correct way to end the story of such beloved character. But putting yourself in the mindset, you understand why naughty dog decided to make this, you really feel like Ellie and that motivation keeps you going. Even if I knew I would be playing as Abby, I didn’t know when, so when it happened, at first my motivation to play as Abby was to just arrive at that critical point, but as I kept playing, my motivation changed dramatically and I ended up enjoying a lot the entire Abby section to the point I realized y deeply cared for this characters that I just murdered some hours before. The gameplay, although very similar to the first, I found it very enjoyable and really fun, the graphics and score are just perfect, but what really surprises me is the number of balls a developer needs in order to craft and present a story like this one. I ended up absolutely loving this game and has been on my mind for weeks now, it is truly a devastating, epic, sad, funny, and just a piece of art that anyone should experience. I repeat that yes it is devastating to play this game but in the end, it feels with it. 10/10… Expand

    I can see why people didn’t like the end but as life itself this game doesn’t give you the full satisfaction. I saw lots of critics on the characters development but I think all the people disliking the game just wanted to keep loving Ellie’s character.

    Esta es una historia para todo tipo de personas, por supuesto que muchas personas lo odian y respeto eso. Pero sin duda es una continuación más que digna y justificada de la anterior, donde profundizamos la relación con Ellie y Joel.
    No quiero dar spoilers, pero si realmente entiendes de filosofía y literatura, el final con el que nos deja es un claro ejemplo de como llevar una historia a su límite. El final es una simbologia total de la relación que Ellie no pudo arreglar a tiempo con Joel, hasta que al final, por fin puede perdonarse a si misma, esa es la razón por la qué no mata a Abby.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is far from perfect, but it is the sequel that TLOU deserved. Well, first of all I don't even know what to say about the graphics and the gameplay, it is simply the perfect evolution of what the first game had created. The amount of animations made for the combat and all the little features that were added, like the silencer, are breathtaking and make the gameplay feel dynamic and as fluid as ever, and therefore making one of the best 3rd person games ever (gameplay wise). Naughty dog really nailed the techinical aspect, but now the story...

    I don't think that this game has a bad story, not at all, it has the best premise that a TLOU sequel can get, taking one of the main characters and making him pay for all the stuff he made in the first game is simply the only plausible motivation that would make Ellie seek revenge at any cost. But I agree that the way in which they did it was pretty bad, I get that the TLOU world is cruel and that death is always around the corner, but it's f*cking Joel. I don't think that Joel deserved that miserable death, maybe he could've sacrificed himself for Tommy or something like that, because it really made him look weak.

    As I said, I truly don't think that the story is bad, I just think that it is poorly told. I really appreciate the ambition of ND by making us see all the sides of the story, because after all, the last of us is a game about people, and not about Joel and Ellie. But they sure as hell shouldn't expect us to be happy by making us wait more than 10 hours to progress Ellie's story. I simply don't get why they needed to add 2 campaigns that are so long, maybe they could've made 1 day with Ellie and then 1 day with Abby so that we don't get so tired of expecting Ellie's story to come back. It would have the same effect that the devs intended, we kill everybody that day with Ellie and then see Abby's point of view of who they really are, instead of killing them and only seeing who they really are 15 hours later.

    People aren't complaining about the game because of the LGBT characters or the strong women in this game, it's just that the structure and pacing are horrible, and even though Abby's story is very interesting there's always that background thought wondering about what is going to happen with Tommy and Ellie that never goes away and that doesn't let us us enjoy Abby's plot as much as we should've. This isn't the game that we wanted, but it is the game that made sense as a sequel, I would give it 7.5 but since there isn't an option, I'm giving it an 8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have absolutely no issues with the choices around representation. I think it’s a bad game - not that fun to play, repeating similar sequences from the first one to try to boost unearned empathy for Abby. I felt condescended to and scolded for having invested in Joel and Ellie. It sucks - the first game ended on such a beautiful note of ambivalence. This made me want to stop playing games altogether. Regardless of that, it’s clear the reviews were bought and paid for, and the positive Twitter response smells strongly of astroturf. I liked playing some bits - take away all the cinematics and forget it’s meant to be a Last of Us sequel and you have an ok game. But as it is, it stinks of pretension and lack of respect for the audience.… Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
