    2. Los personajes, cada uno de los personajes formaron parte de una historia que crea un nuevo entorno y drama... han pasado años desde la primera historia y ahora continua en parte pero tambien se ha dado un giro drástico, pues asi son las cosas. En mi opinión como fan de the last of us desde el 2013 este juego ha valido cada puto segundo.
    3. La historia que es el punto mas odiado por los “fans” es algo que ver desde una perspectiva ya avanzada. Es cierto que no se hablo mucho de las luciérnagas o la “cura” para la humanidad como se baso toda la primera parte. Pero ahora las cosas han cambiado, no pueden aferrarse a una sola idea como era el objetivo del primer juego. Ahora la historia tiene características diferentes para mostrarnos la realidad de las cosas años después durante el apocalipsis. Los personas cambian, las relaciones tambien y cada puto hecho que ocurre en la historia es por algo... nos dejan pensando en los errores del ser humano y el perdon, o cambiar a ultima hora tus decisiones ya sea para darle un mínimo de sentido a la muerte de joel, como puede ser el perdon y el seguir adelante.    … Expand

    This game was deep and emotional. There were times where I, out loud, proclaimed that I didn't want to play, that what the game was going to have me do wasn't what I wanted. That I wanted to have my revenge, my way. But the story was so compelling that it pulled me forward, sometimes it tugged me forward in spite of my own resistance. This is what the game seeks to do. It seeks to be soThis game was deep and emotional. There were times where I, out loud, proclaimed that I didn't want to play, that what the game was going to have me do wasn't what I wanted. That I wanted to have my revenge, my way. But the story was so compelling that it pulled me forward, sometimes it tugged me forward in spite of my own resistance. This is what the game seeks to do. It seeks to be so compelling that you are driven to seek a resolution, even if you have to take an undesireable path to it. And, also as intended, the path is a challenging one. Not just in gameplay or for the character, but for the player. The challenge is in confronting anger, rage, and vengeance, however well warranted and to see the consequences and to feel the weight of irrevocable decisions, even when those decisions didn't have a viable alternative.

    This game is about violence. And it is about pain. And it is about the loss of identity in giving yourself over to rage. If you are a STAN for characters over story you will probably not like this game, however beautifuly and impressively designed its imagery, graphics, details. This game is gorgeous. And with so few hiccups to execution that the most significant impact to my playthrough was my own obsessive compulsive need to conserve ammunition and to execute my tqctical plans as expertly and perfectly as possible - leading to many reloads when I as a player executed less than perfectly.

    The game's sound design is atmospheric, and haunting and paranoia-inducing as much as the first Last of Us. The use of audio cues to indicate when your actions risked observation were downright anxiety provoking. The creature performances are absolutely frightening so much so that when stalkers become silent you the player become even more terrified and paranoid.

    The gameplay, while a bit on rails as expected, does give you big open playgrounds at times which helps to alleviate the feeling of being constrained alkng a linear path hurtling towards conclusion, there truly are moments where you can stop to just appreciate the incredibly detailed environments. In my playthrough I encountered no technical glitches or game-breaking hard stops at all. I never encountered a consumable or acquireable I could not pick up. I never got stuck in a wall or door. And the camera did a fantastic job of positioning itself intuitively. While there wasn't a clear satsifying button push to lock you into the use of cover, the game does a WONDERFUL truly genre-defining job of having the character models KNOW when they are in proximity to a hard surfsce. There were times I didn't feel as in cover as I would have liked, and there is no mechanism for leaningx so often "peeking " involves actually exposing yourself to some degree, the game is actually very forgiving in this and I never felt like my choices were punished by some of the less precise tactical movements.

    Gameplay choices are consistent with the original, included the still-baffling choice that at least one character has to manufacture shivs in order to have a stabbing weapon when, 20 years-on, a fightning knife should seem de rigeur for a post-apocalyptic infectious disease zombie outbreak. Improvements to melee weapons are often little more than aesthetic and their design for arguing that they have been improved continues to beg the question of "Really? How does duct tapping half a pruning shear to a lead pipe make it any more effective or sturdy?" - a mechanic I think could've been tossed, but again, not inconsistent for the series.

    Characters... so much to say about characters and almost all of it spoilers. The characters give weight to the consequences of decisions that are made throughout the game. This game makes an extraordinarily bold choice - one that I think many of the fans giving negative reviews fail to connect with the original story, even though the parallel is clear. The Last of Us does not have heroes. It isn't a game about heroes. Joel's actions at the end of The Last Of Us were heroic or villainous depending on your point of view, the same is true of Marlene. The post-apocalyptic nightmare world of cordyceps parasitism is a harsh world of survival and of violence and of killing. Often, as in the original, the most dangerous confrontations aren't with the creatures, they are with other survivors. The morality of confronting a kill-or-be-killed world where an act of vengeance can bring a living nightmare to life beyond the ever present fungal threat makes this game all too human. The most challenging thing about this game is that it asks us to confront ourselves. To allow ourselves to be taken to a point of raw emotional rage and pain and then to objectively see ourselves in the light of that for the monster in ourselves. By the end of the game I just wanted the violent cycle to end. I wanted there to be some future not bound by pain.

    Naughty Dog CRUSHES it. They take you on a journey. And its lesson is humanity.

    I love the the music, the graphics, and the story is amazing. Like, really. A game not only about hatred and vengeance, but also forgiveness and reflection. It toys with your emotions but you have to try and see the other side of things, and it makes you feel what it’s really like to live in the world of The Last of Us. Brilliant game.

    This is a Brutal game in many aspects. It looks beautiful, it sounds beautiful and it plays beautifully. At the same time It's like watching a Clint Eastwood movie, so it's emotionally challenging and taxing. I believe that 's the reason a lot of people dislike it but that is not to say this is not objectively a good game, make no mistake, this IS a very good game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Aus meiner Sicht eine tolle Geschichte mit vielen Höhen und Tiefen und interessanten Perspektivwechseln. Wenn man das Spiel unvoreingenommen spielt und die Charaktere auf sich wirken lässt, dann kommt man nach cirka 3/4 der Geschichte dahin, dass man Abby nicht nur versteht, sondern sie mag. Sie hilft den beiden jungen, flüchtenden Scars, distanziert sich von den Wolfs, lässt Ellie, obwohl sie 2 mal die Gelegenheit hat sie zu töten am Leben ... und ist einfach der nettere Charakter als die von Rachedurst zerfressene, mörderische Ellie. Ich habe mich gefreut, dass Abby am Ende mit Lev in ein neues Leben mit den Fireflies fahren konnte. Mich hat die ganze Geschichte gefesselt, mitgenommen und ... ständig zum Nachdenken über die irre Gewalt zwischen diesen ganzen zersprengten Menschengruppen gebracht, die in dieser beschissenen, apokalyptischen Welt nichts besseres zu tun haben als sich gegenseitig umzubringen. Das einzige Spiel das mich zuvor auf diese Weise bewegt und zum Nachdenken gebracht hat war "Becoming Human".… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game wasn't what I expected. Which is a good thing! It's The Last of Us, not the last of Joel and Ellie. I'm glad to see a game that fleshes out gray moral concepts. At first I was disappointed playing Abby for half the game. Then as the game progressed all I could do was empathize for for the both of them. At times I didn't know whom I was rooting for and I'm refreshed Naughty Dog would take such a risk. Part II added consequences, something that you don't deal with in part I. Hopefully this game popped some bubbles in the stereotypical gamer's lives. But just so you know. If I ever were to lose you, I think I'd lose myself...… Expand

The problem of this game: 1 Abby pumped hands; 2 There was 1 part (People expected a TYPICAL 2 part, but the developers pleasantly surprised with their courage. Well done.) My advice to people is to definitely go through this game. And for those who hate this game for the plot: are you stupid? everything that happens in this game is logical and understandable if you think about 1 part. Super… Expand

The narrative is brave and hits hard. Although I consider this game the pinnacle of the media, this game is not for everyone (see the death threat people who worked on this game has received on the first days of the release), it goes deep in the spiral of violence ignited by revenge and for someone it could be too much to handle, included myself.
    Technically is the best game I ever played: stunning visuals, incredible acting performances, game play polish.
    The ND guys did an outstanding job with this title, maybe is not the game all the fan base wanted or expected (included myself, again), but this game deserve a solid 9/10, I gave 10 because of all the zero's that are (in my humble opinion) not totally unbiased.
    To summarize: the best 25h~ spent in front of a game console. Totally recommended.    … Expand

    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]
