    Most blasphemous sequel in recent memory absolute contrived garbage, complete disrespect for the established characters and the consumer.

    Games very pretty but overshadowed by a revenge tale from a character and perspective I don’t care for, what an absolute shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the game and i have to say i have mixed feelings about it. First of i don´t wan´t to give a bad review because they do X or Y thing, or "this character" is male/female/dog, etc. So here comes...

    Graphics: This is like God of War on the technical level, where they use 100% of the graphic power on the Ps4 or Ps4 Pro to the maximun, it´s looks gorgeous and the different places and little things like the snow, ice crack when you pass trhough it and that kind of things are top notch and we have to clap at naughty dog having and using the technology at best same with the characters models.

    Animation: Another good hit, they really take time working on the animations to feel real in every kind of way, the backpack swinging when you are waking or running, taking out the machete out of the body and that feel it´s not so easy because of the flesh and bones.... nothing to say, just awesome on this part.

    Sound: The sound it´s really good, sound immersive in this cold and desolated land with the clickers going around and the gun sounds outside and inside the buildings sound good and you can hear the difference between the guns

    Now on the other side.....

    Story: It was a hit an miss, sadly in story driven games its the most important thing and sadly enough feels so forced from start to finish. And for that i would make an example of how new people playing would care more of Joel instead of how they killed him:

    Imagine this: You play with Joel/Ellie for a bit scavenge things, they saw Abby's group and they fight each other because Joel said in the first game "never say your name and trust no one," and Ellie goes. Then Joel hear about they are gonna kill Ellie to make him suffer.
    Then Joel kill a bunch of Abby's team and when he get there Abby is sitting on Ellie's back and pointing her with a gun on her head. Joel mad said "free her" and Abby's just laugh and said he is a murderer because he kill her dad and Ellie said "that's true" Joel said "I'm sorry it's true," and Abby's stand up to confront him meanwhile Ellie's is in shock because of the lie and Abby's start to get mad and they start fighting and in some point Abby shoot Joel and he in his last breath said, "I'm sorry Ellie, I lied to you because you are my only family."
    Then Abby said "I finally get that **** look at Ellie and just go away." Now Ellie is sad/angry/confused because of this news and the dead of Joel while making his grave. Better script than the game don't you think?

    And they decided to create 0 feelings towards Abby or trying to give more info why she wanted so bad to kill Joel in the entire game, meanwhile Ellie really doesn´t show how mad or shocked she is about the dead of Joel. Meanwhile Joel it´s not the character we know from the first game, he was always saying to Ellie that: "Never give your name and trust no one", instead he just said his name without a doubt in a couple of hours and like: "I´m ok *derp face*"

    That´s a real turn off for any fan of this franchise because the characters from the first game are not in this sequel, and the whole idea of "revenge" it´s so cliché and predictable that lost the shock value from the first one.

    Sadly Naughty Dog create an awesome game on the graphical side but horrible on the script side that for a game like this is the main core for your audience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1.- La ambientación es muy buena, es realmente sorprendente como los paisajes te envuelven y hacen sentirte que estás ahí, una sensación que gracias a su poderosa calidad gráfica lo lograron, saludo y felicitaciones a los desarrolladores incluyendo por el trabajo artístico..

    2.- La animaciones y físicas de los personajes al momento de interactuar con algún objeto o NPC son exquisitas literalmente el juego se ve de la mas reciente generación, reitero, un trabajo excelente por parte de los técnicos.

    3.- Las misiones son buenas algunas en lo que cabe destacar, realmente es la misma mecánica de "The last of us" su modo de combate y sigilo, al parecer aquí si hubo un copia y pega de su juego antecesor por que realmente todo es exactamente igual sin mejoras ni si quiera en su crafteo de bombas o flechas. En lo que si hubo cambios es en la defensa a mano limpia, literalmente puedes completar el juego sin utilizar armas ya que con tus manos puedes combatir cientos de infectados y ojalá fuera una broma. Las misiones en algunas ocasiones tienden a ser repetitivas ya que es tan predecible que varias veces sabías lo que iba a pasar en ciertas escenas ademas de que las mismas también se repiten constantemente, encontrar balas y materiales en los muebles es lo mas común desde la primera entrega aquí continua exactamente igual.

    4.- Los personajes son totalmente olvidables, específicamente hablando de los amigos de Abby que es la razón por la que la tipa busca matar a Ellie y a quienes la rodea, teniendo así mismos unos agujeros gigantescos en la narrativa, no se sabe absolutamente nada sobre los personajes, no te hace empatizar ni con Abby ni con sus amigos en la media duración del videojuego jugando como Abby por que simplemente no sabes nada de ellos mas que lo superficial que son nacionalidades o personalidad. Han sido varias escenas en que los amigos de Abby realmente están plasmados en la narrativa como verdaderos tontos, hay varias oportunidades que pueden matar a Ellie y deciden esperarse para convenientemente ser salvada por alguien o algo para si mismos acabar muriendo. Lamentables los personajes. exceptuando a quienes ya conocemos Tommy y Ellie.

    5.- La historia solo busca momentos shockeantes para poder proyectar sentimientos al jugador, sin embargo es donde falla miserablemente ya que muchos momentos shockeantes son sobre los amigos de Abby en su mayoría siendo mas de 6 personajes que mueren de manera miserables pero como repito están tan mal estructurados que no te hace sentir una emoción de tristeza ni mucho menos de enojo, solo dándote alegría por quienes mataron a Joel el personaje mas querido de la franquicia, muriendo de una manera horrible a la primer hora del juego, en si hay muchos agujeros argumentales como lo había comentador, Joel en la primera entrega es alguien demasiado cauteloso y minucioso, es una persona que no le importa nadie, mas que Ellie por ser la representación de su hija ya difunta y su hermano por ser simplemente de la familia, en ésta última entrega se vuelve alguien amistoso que se fía de toda persona en una época apocalíptica de una tipa que recién conoce, no tiene sentido el cambio tan drástico de su personalidad, Ellie en un flashback lo odia solo por que le salvó la vida, que sentido tiene esto? Encima busca venganza a quien continuamente estaba rechazándolo y repudiándolo como lo hacía Ellie a Joel, como buscaría venganza si ella estaba despreciando a Joel, para el colmo al final de todo el juego Ellie perdona a quien mató a Joel con un palo de golf, a quien dejó ciego a Tommy, a quien iba a matar a Dina sin piedad estando embarazada, a quien mata a Jesse siendo el padre del feto que tiene Dina en su vientre que es de los pocos personajes con quien generas empatía ademas de Dina y para finalizar le corta 2 dedos a Ellie. Así es Ellie perdona a Abby, la narrativa es mala no por qué la haya perdonado o por el trayecto de la venganza, si no por que cualquier persona que Ellie haya matado sin piedad contando gente inocente, NPCs que seguro tenían mas razón de vida que la propía Abby muertos por una venganza perdonada, ahí se resume la historia, una historia inconclusa que no tiene razón de ser, que todos mueren pero no muere quien realmente lo merece, Abby no tuvo piedad de Joel para matarlo ni mucho menos lo perdonó, pero Ellie si va a perdonar a quien en un principio por su culpa ocasionó que mataran a sus amigos inocentes? Ademas de otra cosa, el jefe del grupo en que está Abby se ve una persona segura, con mucha gente a su poder, cuando Abby lo confronta por ser desertora muere en 5 segundos, como repito la historia es muy mala.

    Así resumo el juego en conclusión, muy buenos gráficos, excelente animación e interacciones, misiones buenas algunas y otras repetitivas, los personajes sin identidad mas que lo superficial y la historia sin razón de ser.

    I love all the Naughty Dog games i've played the Crash games, The Jax games, the Uncharted games, and the first The Last of Us(Which I loved, even the DLC I didn't think was THAT bad), but this game just spits(literally Neil Druckmann self inserts himself into the game to spit on a beloved character from the first) the fan base and story of the original. This is just a horrid game.

This is just a horrid game. The gameplay is just like the original, no real updates, it feels so outdated already, like I'm playing a PS3 game with some ducktape slapped on, and TLoU had some already outdated gameplay at the time. There are so many stupid "environment puzzles" where you just move a ladder or box, like in the first, but multiplied by a ton.

    The story has many issues which I'm not going to get into as I want to leave this a spoiler free review, but if you liked the first one and cared about the characters, then don't waste your money on this game that will spit on you and your love for the game, because you don't UNDERSTAND NEIL DRUCKMANN'S GREATNESS(Who forced out a woman, Amy Hennig, who had denied that she was being harrassed in the work place and said that men she worked with helped her and were nice).

    The "Critic" reviews are all paid for, I have to believe this, and I believe a heavy amount of the "Positive" reviews are bots after having read them(yet Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann, and many of the cast are claiming the negative reviews are all bots made by MEAN PEOPLE). They all praise this game and story, saying it's great, when there are multiple issues with it as I said but can't get into to keep this spoiler free, praising the gameplay, etc... The Audio is good I will give them that, and the Visuals are really good too(although not the best out there right now, not close even, but still really good).

    Save your money and don't buy this. So disappointed I even borrowed this from a friend to play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In 2013 Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann introduced us to the thrilling world of The Last of Us. An action-adventure game with some survival horror touches, one of the best stories ever told in games, incredible characters and immersive gameplay. After 7 years they give us The Last of Us Part 2, and they hoped that it would surpass, as most sequels, it's predecessor.

    The Last of Us Part 2 preserves, and even improves, some elements of the original game, adding dynamics such as jumping, the use of ropes and a better enemy A.I. This can make anyone think that this new game will deliver to its expectations. However, this is only during the first hour and a half. If we evaluate this section of the game, we will find a very dynamic and organic game with one of the best opening scenes of this generation, even worthy of a prize for Baker and Johnson.

    It was a very good game until new characters were included such as Abby, a member of one of the new factions, the WLF, who seeks vengeance against Joel as he killed her father in the first game. Here is where the game starts flopping, as the introduction of these new characters seems forced and inorganic. Naughty Dog's idea was to make us empathize with them, but their background story, dialogues and performances are so dull that makes it difficult to do it. In addition to this, Joel becomes nothing more than an NPC with short dialogues and scenes that, in spite of a marvelous performance by Troy Baker, feels disrespectful to the main character of the original game. Joel was not the only character that suffered in this game as his brother Tommy is shown as weak and doubtful.

    After playing for some hours, it becomes inevitable to notice the lack of chemistry between Ellie, Abby and their corresponding partners such as Lev, Yara, Dina and Jesse. Their dialogues become repetitive, boring and even dumb. The environments are so big that one can think there will be puzzles like in the first game. However, the development team got rid of all the puzzles and some exploration that made the first game great, making part 2 more lineal and boring.

    Then, we get to Seattle and find ourselves with improved environments, filled with so many enemies that it becomes inevitable to start shooting and killing to that extent that it becomes even gory and perturbing. Perhaps Druckmann's idea was to make us feel bad about killing and revenge, but this is only delivered in a couple scenes where Ellie kills some secondary characters, including a pregnant woman. Was it worth it? I would not say so.

    As a game, The Last of Us Part 2 revolves around revenge, and how bad it is, as premise. However, the lack of depth in the development of some characters, and the story itself, makes it a total flop for Sony, and Naughty Dog, who gave us their worst game since Uncharted 3. I mean, as an independent game from the franchise it's good, but it is not for a the last of us game.

    Finally, one has to praise the technical part of the game as it gives us the best graphics of this generation, and Gustavo Santaolalla's work in the music is perfect. Nevertheless, the set of modifications made to the gameplay, as well as the boring and rushed story, makes this game one of the biggest disappointments of the gaming industry. Naughty Dog, you have failed us

    This game is the game of this console generation. Beautiful graphics, improved game play, soundtrack that fits well, and a story that does great things.

    EDIT: Ok, so I finished the game, and decided to change my rating from a 9 to a 10. I had some complaints about the menus and the HUD, at first, but then I later learned that I could resolve those issues with the more obscure "Accessibility" settings. Also, the first game has one of my all-time favorite stories in video games, but I might like the second game's story even more. SoEDIT: Ok, so I finished the game, and decided to change my rating from a 9 to a 10.

Also, the first game has one of my all-time favorite stories in video games, but I might like the second game's story even more. So emotional and so well done. I heard spoilers before I played the game, but some of the spoilers were inaccurate. Most of the complaints against those spoilers were motivated by bigotry, which is kind of funny now that the spoilers have been discredited. For example, I heard that Abby was a transgender person transitioning from female to male. Nope, she is just muscular and badass, which fits her setting and story exceptionally well. I never liked femme fatales, anyway. They aren't believable. Abby is very believable. Have an open mind. Play this game.

    I just want to add my voice to those who are calling out the review-bombers, while being as vague as I possibly can be. It's true, this game is great and it's being attacked by triggered snowflakes. I don't feel the need to talk about gameplay too much, really. Did you like the first one? You'll like this one, then. There are significantly bigger battle arenas, more stealth techniques, etc. Think of Halo 1 vs. Halo 2. Halo 1 was innovative, while 2 didn't innovate so much. Instead, it refined and amped up the style of the first one. Anyway, what I really want to talk about is the "politics" surrounding it.

    Some of the major themes behind the original story include things like healthy and unhealthy ways of coping with loss, dealing with difficult truths, and the subversion of expectations. That is exactly what people are getting with this story and these characters as well. The same things that made the ending of the first game such a gut-punch are all here to punch you in the gut again. Sorry, the game doesn't follow some formulaic, Marvel-style character arc. Some people find that **** boring. Sorry that some characters that you probably love are going to get **** on by newer characters. What did you expect from a sequel? A ten-hour campaign about how everything is going great for everybody? It's a game about a **** zombie apocalypse. Things get rough, LIKE THE FIRST GAME. This game isn't going to hold your hand through a cookie-cutter adventure. Like the first game, it will challenge your sense of what should be and what should not be.

    Maybe you are uncomfortable with certain character traits that could possibly be considered "PC" by an "SJW?" Well, guess what? Whether you like it or not, those kinds of people exist. They are human, and they can have compelling motivations. Maybe you don't like the fact that they exist? Too bad, because they do. I'm sorry that you don't want to empathize with a type of human whose existence slightly disrupts your worldview. But really, it would be healthy for you to try to empathize, regardless of your personal beliefs. In the first game, I didn't like the existence of the fungus zombies, the cannibals, or Joel's choice at the end. But that stuff is there and you just have to learn to deal with it if you want to play the game. But it's those types of things that made the story/characters so compelling and memorable. The second game also forces you to face more hard truths about what morality is and what happens when there is a lack of it.

    I haven't even finished the game, and there have already been three separate cutscenes that made me choke up a bit. I don't do that too much. Even the positive reviews I have seen have complained about the "lack of character development." They either don't know what it is or have no heart/soul. Surely what they mean to say is, "I don't like the way the characters developed." Because character development is definitely there, and it is done well. I can see why people may not like certain plot points, but from an objective perspective, this is good art. This is a great example of video games as an effective and meaningful storytelling tool. On top of that, it's just a really great game to play.

    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.
