    I just got done with the game and just WOW. I've never been so affected by a game like this ever. It's been an hour and I'm still trying to reel my emotions in. I've felt everything from horror, terror, rage, happiness, sadness and even guilt. This game is truly a masterpiece. Thank you ND for this experience!!!

    Fantastic game. The gameplay is almost the same as the first game, but it has much more depth. The story was unexpected, but it made me emotionally invested in both Abby and Ellie. The graphics and overall environment blew my mind. I think this game really is a must play.

    No hagas caso a críticas negativas. Es un videojuego con mucho corazón, y se nota en sus detalles. No debería faltar en tu experiencia de juego. Obviamente tiene problemas de ritmo, pero solo eso
    Lo recomiendo ampliamente

    The Good: Graphics look good. The game is out and the useless can delete their videos or posts with theories and conspiracies that if Joel was alive, that if Joel was dead, that if Ellie's mother, that if Ellie's daughter ... the animations are fine (only on objects in first frame or closest). The Weapons customization.

    The bad: It seems like a bad copy of the mix of the Rambo, Final    The Good: Graphics look good.

The Weapons customization.

    The bad: It seems like a bad copy of the mix of the Rambo, Final Destination and SAW movies (excess violence and gore just for the gore itself, violence only for violence, without escape valves). The game is boring. The visual impact of "semi-open environments" is soon over. Action scripted. Weapon customization is good, but magic falls off when there are few bullets and it's more "entertaining" to block and punch some enemies. There are many cracks, chests of drawers and doors that baffle because they are only put there as a decorative wallpaper. Some bugs appear (Ellie without a right arm, blocked faces in the background, blurred faces in distant models, lighting problems with the flashlight, which probably already has a patch in this regard). Scripted sequences “go forward” only go forward (which does look good, but is still a hallway). The restrictions imposed by the embargo imposed by Sony Playstation, Naugthy Dog to the analyzes limiting the opinions to only the first 13 parts of the game and from then on "the doubtful part and the controversial part" do not enter the analyzes, therefore those 10 cannot be sustained.

    The Meh!: No game is perfect. The press knew that the leaks were true and yet they never warned or warned about the changes in the cast, this detracts from their credibility due to the bias of the embargo This game is rated M for “Mature” / PEGI18, so I don't know why they are trying to sell this game to children under 18 who shouldn't be playing it. All that feeling of The politically correct and to be well with the groups that the press gave off for this game on paper sounded "good", in the leaked video it already warned us that it was not what was expected, in the execution it fails since it is not merely fun and it will make you feel bad, a video game should give you other sensations not make you feel bad. This game is not a 10/10, but not a resounding 0 either.    … Expand

    Best game I’ve played, a lot of the negative reviews on here are from people that haven’t actually played the game and just going along with a mob mentality. If you wanna know how you’d like it, take the time to play it yourself. Genius story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abby is the best part in this game. The arch and journey that she goes on is something that you don't see anywhere in the rest of the story.
    Ellie was disappointing as seeing that she never learned a lesson or realized that what she was doing is not what Joel would want her to do.
    Have to say, the graphics and gameplay, (while not evolving from the first) were still incredible and fun to be a part of.
    I wish there was less focus on forcing a political value on customers would have been replaced with logic and thought about how the characters could have been more developed.

    It's about 20 hours to feel, hate, understand and forgive choices and actions. The journey of vengeance, the loss, the pain and the lives in a world with uncertainty future. For me is GOTY for sure! Play and feel the history, and forget the rest!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II es uno de esos videojuegos que son difíciles de calificar, no solo por la oscura historia que cuenta, sino también por lo arriesgado del movimiento de ND. Cuando uno estudia guionismo lo primero que se aprende es que existen 3 tipos de finales en general, los finales felices, los finales complacientes y finalmente los finales trágicos, como es el caso de este The Last Of Us, obviamente este último es el más arriesgado y desde el vamos se sabe que generará polémica, sobretodo si es una secuela, sin embargo, a diferencia de otros ejemplos que se me ocurren, The Last Of Us Part II sabe manejarlo de manera adecuada. No voy a mentir, en mi primera partida hubieron varias partes que no me gustaron (en específico la historia de Abby y su extensa duración), pero luego de haber terminado el juego ya 2 veces y haberlo platinado, uno puede comprender la razón de la existencia de esa parte en la historia, ya que no solo nos sirve para entender las motivaciones de este personaje, sino que también es un intento del juego de generar en el jugador uno de los sentimientos más difíciles: la empatía. Obviamente, yo soy de los que hubiera preferido jugar el 100% con Ellie, pero habiendo terminado el juego hace casi 2 semanas y habiéndolo reflexionado, en mi opinión la parte de Abby esta completamente justificada y no concebiría la historia de la misma manera de no ser por ella.

    Otra parte que me gustaría destacar es sobre el final del juego (la parte desde que Ellie llega a Santa Bárbara hasta la pelea final), por lo menos en mi caso, a estas alturas mi nivel de inmersión era total, el ponerse en los zapatos de Ellie, el encontrarse ya cansado de luchar y con la ansiedad de no saber que pasaría al final debido a la naturaleza oscura de esta historia, es una sensación que ningún otro videojuego o película habían generado en mi, en especial durante la pelea final con Abby donde uno como jugador ya se encuentra exhausto (igual que Ellie) y usa sus última energías para pelear sin saber ya si es lo correcto realmente.

    En cuanto a personajes, me parecieron todos correctos, en la parte de Ellie: Dina me pareció buen personaje y logró complementar bien a Ellie, además de que sirvió como su apoyo para que no decayera en la locura la mayoría de la aventura; El personaje de Jesse también me pareció correcto, mi único "pero" es con Tommy, hubiera preferido que se le diera mas participación, ya que salvo la parte del francotirador y algunos momentos específicos, no se le vio mucho y en las escenas importantes quedaba noqueado desde el inicio (como en el teatro)
    En la historia de Abby: el personaje que mas me gustó fue por lejos Lev, me pareció buen complemento y su personalidad me sorprendió, lo que si extrañé fue el sentir mas empatía con los WLF, salvo quizás con Owen en algunos momentos vagos, no logré empatizar con ninguno de ellos (muchísimo menos con Manny que es el personaje que más odié del juego)

    Finalmente, uno de los temas más polémicos del juego: la muerte de Joel; por mucho que me haya dolido, yo creo que era necesaria para justificar el desarrollo de la historia y el personaje de Ellie (porque si, si iban a repetir lo mismo de la parte 1 pero con Ellie y Joel más viejos no había razón de ser de este juego), aunque si hubiera preferido que se diera de otra forma, pero considerando la ambientación post-apocalíptica del juego es lo normal. Y nuevamente insisto que para mí esta completamente justificada su muerte, de la misma manera que la muerte de Sarah en la parte 1 sirve para justificar la historia y desarrollo de Joel.

    El epílogo es correcto considerando la naturaleza trágica del guión, de hecho es probablemente el final más deprimente que he visto en videojuego alguno (dentro de los que yo considero que tienen buenos finales), ni siquiera NieR: Automata, el cual a pesar de ser de naturaleza trágica, tiene un final feliz a la larga (uno de ellos). El ver a Ellie regresando a su hogar, notar que Dina la abandonó y darse cuenta que lo perdió todo por su afán de vengarse, sirve como máximo punto de madurez para ella, haciendo la comparación a como era durante el primer juego y la mayor parte del segundo.

    Finalmente, en cuanto a gráficos y jugabilidad no tengo mucho que decir, el juego es una delicia en estos apartados, y eso considerando que lo corrí en una PS4 normal (del año 2014), no me quiero imaginar como será en una PS4 PRO, de lejos lo mejor que tuve la oportunidad de jugar en esta generación.

    En conclusión, The Last Of Us Part II me pareció un juego redondo, y lo más importante (y es la razón por la cuál le doy un 10) es que logró algo que casi nunca me sucede, y es el hecho de marcarme, son muy pocas historias las que logran hacerse un hueco en ti al punto de que aunque lo hayas terminado hace tiempo, los personajes, historias y sentimientos que sentiste al jugarlo, se queden ahí contigo por siempre.    … Expand

Telling the story from both sides was something I never thought needed being done but it definitely added to how I felt at the end, I almost didn’t want to finish it and have Ellie try that last time to get her revenge because I actually felt deeply about both characters. The sounds design was amazing and the gameplay mechanics and HUD never felt clunky, in the way or over the top. This is a game I’d play again for the same reason I would read a book, I can’t put it down. It’s captivating, and definitely drives home the story arc of Joel, the events of the last game and how much of an impact he has on Ellie.… Expand

Making you play as Abby and having to sympathize with her, learning she actually isn’t as bad as you thought she was, and really feeling the pain she went through, and seeing it from Ellie’s perspective, watching her give up everything for revenge, when it wasn’t even what she wanted, all she wanted was piece, and it hurts me inside seeing how she ended up in the end, definitely GOTY in my book, totally worth playing, same for the first game too!… Expand

Unfortunately the story was taken in a disappointing direction. The entire second half of the game all I could care about was about the story with Ellie as Abbey’s portion felt like a means to an end. Although it’s okay to take the overall plot in a risk direction, the pacing and organization of the narrative brought a sour taste to an otherwise solid game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A steaming crap taken on the original game. Yes the art and music is fantastic (when it's not being ripped from a different creator without credit), however the story itself and the murder (both figuratively and literally) of beloved characters is just terrible. Let's start easy. Joel was **** in this game. They changed his entire way of thinking in order to get him in the position for Abby to kill him. Remember back when Joel got mad at Ellie for using her real name when they met Sam and Henry? Yeah none of that comes to play when he gladly gives his name to Susan Strong... Ehem I mean Abby. Next, the massive plot armor that Dina AKA "The Nose" and Abby have. It's beyond unreal. There is a scene in the game where The Nose shoots someone and then falls through a window. The other enemy holsters his weapon and goes over to strangle her instead of shooting her. There is no reason for this aside from giving Ellie a chance to stab him. The same thing with Abby surviving all those infected and somehow Joel showing up to save her. Even worse is the scene of Abby killing Joel when Ellie walks in. She stands and watches for many seconds. This isn't what her character would do. We saw it plain and simple when she saved Joel's life in the hotel in the first game. They even reference it in this piece of garbage but for some reason she can't rely on those lighting reflexes when Hulk Hogana... Ehem I mean Abby, is at the end of the barrel. The writing in this game is lazy at best and just plain stupid at worse. Another nitpick of mine is that this is not a romance game. Never was never will be. This game is about survival and the (very sloppy) romance that the writers try to add in doesn't help the game at all. It makes it feel rushed and unfinished. Much like the rest of the game. The story and plot armor aside the mechanics have not really improved. You can dodge, you can lie down, and She Rah... Ehem I mean Abby, can break your neck like a toothpick. That is the only improvement to the mechanics. It's still just the same animations over and over throughout this empty world and with a story that can't even hold itself together without pulling a GoT "let's kill beloved characters" it doesn't work.… Expand

    Save yourself the heartbreak and don’t start this game. Garbage story, but the dumpster fire doesn’t start until you’re in pretty deep. Being forced to play as Abby (the antagonist) for 10-15 hours is beyond dumb. Zero stakes. Zero empathy. Apparently, zero understanding of the basic tenets of storytelling. Despite my undying love for TLoU#1, this is a DNF for me.

    This is a terrible game. The original was a decent game with a good plot which dealt with themes like family and loyalty which resonated because although it was a brutal world, the story was essentially one of love and redemption and taking one’s destiny into their own hands and finding hope and a reason to fight even in an ugly world. This is literally the opposite of that. Fun times.
