    Es un juegazo, lo mejor que se ha hecho nunca en todos los sentidos, al que le pique que se rasque, mucha homofobia y misoginia es lo que hace que los usuarios le den tan poca nota, ojalá se hicieran muchos más así, es la única cura para normalizar. Gracias Naughty Dog por un JUEGAZO

    Wonderful story. Normally I skip through stories in games but found the events really compelling. Gameplay is just okay. Not sure there's much replay value, unfortunately. I'd give this game an 8/10 but giving it a 10/10 to cancel out the morons review bombing it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of Us Part 2 takes its time to develop the story. A story in a very hostile world that will end some beloved character’s lives. It also introduces many new characters, e.g. Abby who kills Joel at the beginning of the game. That death was a real shock (especially after playing the first game) but it fits into a world where there is no government, no rules and no law. It‘s a modern Wild West where revenge creates more revenge. At first I hated Abby for what she did, but after playing the second half of the game I was glad how the final confrontation ended. I wanted her and Lev to survive as I could understand her motivation at the beginning of the game. And I really felt like she changed over the course of the game. Please don‘t believe these review bombers. Naughty dog introduced some LGBTQ+ characters in this game but I (a 30 year old white cis male) never had the feeling they were forced into it. They fit so good in the story. Especially Lev - a trans character growing up in a religious fundamental environment. I‘ll never know how it feels to grow up in such a hostile group of people that want to kill you for who you are. But I‘m glad he found Abby who accepts him for who he is. You see I‘m texting about fictional characters as if they‘re real existing persons. That‘s what Naughty Dog did with this game - it made me forget it is a game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Haters can hate all they want and say it was a bad story, but they didn't look past Joel's death at all. The parallels in this game and the attention to detail in this story are absolutely amazing! People have such closed minds and wanted it to be exactly like the first. Also Joel died in a game about "Survival"...... Shocker. Also Abby is an amazing character and if you feel otherwise then you never played through the remainder of the game… Expand

A mi principalmente no me parece un mal juego, recordemos que no existe la perfeccion, Naughty Dogs hizo un gran trabajo a la hora de desarrollar el the last of us ll, la verdad la gente no se toma el tiempo de apreciar el gran esfuerzo que se tomo Naughty Dogs a la hora de hacer el juego, a muchos, para no decir todos, nos dolio la muerte de joel, y principalmente empezamos a odiar a la empresa por eso, pero quiero que se peguen a la realidad, al mundo en el que vivimos, nadie muere heroicamente en nuestro mundo y son las pocas veces que en la alguien muere así, este juego principalmente se enfoca en dejarnos bastantes enseñansas y nos deja muchos sentimientos, aun que para la historia de abby que toma alrededor de 3 o 4 horas de juego yo tengo 2 opciones, una que la hallan puesto desde el inicio del juego o dos que no la hallan puesto, a mi particularmente este juego me dejo 2 enseñanzas, una que hay que aprovechar el tiempo que tenemos con nuestros seres queridos, por que no sabemos hasta los vamos a tener y la segunda es que la venganza es un hueco negro dentro del alma lo cual hace que la mata y la envenena… Expand

    The end just doesn't make sense and the main plot of the entire franchise feels completely wasted. When the best part of a game are the flashbacks then clearly something I'd wrong.
    The game is not a 3.4 but it isn't a 9.5 either.
    So if you are a person who loves videogames for the experience in terms of gameplay go ahead, you will like it. But if you are a passionate of a good story, like me, then no, this game is not for you.    … Expand

    I always say: "Not every story needs happy ending but it has to be a hell of a story" and sadly I don't think part 2 was one of those stories.

    The real problem is the narrative game is trying to force on players. It was brave move that didn't work out at all. I have this feeling that this was someone exclusive idea which he really liked but didn't want to understand that majority of people are going to strongly dislike it.
    “I know you wish things were different (10/10), I wish things were different but they ain’t”
    You can extract everything that is best in this game: excellent graphics, superb audio, superior gameplay, awesome acting, strong feelings and give it 10/10.
    “When lost in darkness, look for the light”
    You can also grab everything that is the worst and give it 5/10.
    This seems like two extremes but maybe not necessarily. Not all of the players played tlou1 before, not all of the people are emotionally attached to the game or maybe does not want to (professional reviewers). Without doubt you can stick to something you like or dislike and this is another issue of TLoU2, it’s polarizing to extremes. That wasn’t the case with tlou1, some liked the story, some didn’t but everyone got it, understood and appreciated. This was a story at the end you could say: “Wow, this was a ride” no matter if you agreed with the characters decisions or not. I personally love tlou1 and I know that I’ll return to it someday, sadly I don’t know if that’s the case with tlou2. That being said it’s 7 out of 10 (good but with serious storytelling problems).    … Expand

    MTG 5 at the minimum. A miserable pseudo open corridor world with stupid AI, degraded animations (where are your praised CGI staged scenes from E3 2018?), A dumb stealth that everyone is tired of back in the previous part. On the plot, I still care about the gameplay, but the ending itself is delusional, which leads to nothing.

Many players who have passed 1 part, thought that the second will be about the same thing, about the survival and relationship of Joel and Ellie, it would be at least not reasonable and not interesting, since it was told about it in part 1.At the expense of the gameplay, it was spent not in vain so much time to finalize, the same selection of items,it is unrealistically cool transmitted, the movement of characters, looks very realistic, not as it was in part 1 monotonous.I will not talk about the schedule ,it is already clear that everything is very realistic.And in the end, the world's interactions with the character are the same bots as they are agree with each other to find Ellie when she has already given out her place position, they start searching around every corner , and most importantly, if not quickly change the cover ,it will be difficult to change it after 10 or 20 seconds ,as the bots will have to look for you in all ways of your escape route ,and only need to think fast or to fight,in General, about this game a lot can be said and for a long time,I think part 3 is obliged to go ,as the ending of the game is not very unique ,again I will say that it is a masterpiece invented by the genius Neil Druckmann,thank you so much for such an emotional game,waiting for part 3,which tell what happened with Dina ,Abby and Tommy ,where he went before Ellie was going to end it all,once again thank you so much Neil Druckmann.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was fantastic, and despite a very vocal community saying otherwise, it far surpassed "the sequel we deserved". We get to see Ellie grown up, using Joel's influence to forge her own path. We get to understand Abby's motivations as well. This story is all about the search for Vengeance, and how well it fits in a post-outbreak world, that is to say, not very well. If you feel torn up at the end, good, that is how you were meant to feel. These times change us all, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. The ultimate lesson is to do something valuable with the time you have left. Thank you.… Expand

Когда первый раз проходил, не хотелось играть за Эбби, хотелось увидеть финал. Но проходя 2 раз я ей проникся, может даже больше, чем Элли. Лев и Яра очень милые! Дина - чудо! Томми....его голос, я получал аудиальный оргазм. Джесс нудноват, но хороший друг. Эволюция Джоэла обратно в человека, такого каким он был до смерти Сары - очень порадовало. Понравилось, что он не сдал назад, и Элли его не сломала в плане выбора: нужно было её спасать или нет. Их последний разговор - шедеврален и мил. Я в восторге от игры! Спасибо Ноти дог!!!

If you're a giant fan of Naughty Dog's bombastic roller coaster rides, you can probably add 2 points and make this a 9.

    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.
