    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La parte 1 fue mi videojuego favorito mucho tiempo, en la parte 2 algo destrozaron dentro de mi. Si bien el gameplay sigue intacto, me da pena el desenlace de Joel, la historia pobrisima, los personajes nuevos con nulo carisma, los anteriores siendo arruinados tomando decisiones y diciendo diálogos que no van acordé al personaje. Podría estar todo el día diciendo las cosas que fueron decepcionantes, el mensaje político es lindo, estaría perfecto si tuviera algún propósito de existir y este no prime por sobre la coherencia y el sentido de la Historia, no es incluir porque si, sino con un propósito.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is everything I wanted and more. This review will not do the game justice so as a warning please play the game yourself before you read. I tried controlling my excitement as much as possible for the game since I didn’t want to be let down. As a fan of the first game I thought it was important to manage my expectations. I also happen to be one of the people who think the first game had a perfect ending and that game didn’t need a sequel. But after playing this game, oh am I glad they made one. Starting with the aesthetic. The graphics are probably the best I’ve ever seen in any game. I mean it’s expected though, it’s a 2020 game after all and on top of that it’s naughty dog a development team known for their amazing graphics. I also love the film grain, some people don’t even notice it but it gives the game a sort of gritty look which I like. The environments are lush and beautiful as they help give you a feel of the last of us world. And the music, Gustavo Santaolalla tops himself from the first game as the music is even better and honestly this is probably the best soundtrack in a video game and better than some movie soundtracks. I realize how much of a fanboy I’m sounding like but this game is just that good. The gameplay is great. If you like the gameplay in the first last of us, you’ll like it in here as well. It’s not pushing the boundaries of gaming or any thing but it’s perfect for the game. It gives you a feeling of intensity that many other games can’t do. And on top of that it’s smooth, fluid, and fun! There are always dozens of ways you can approach an encounter which adds to the fun and replay ability of the game. Finally let’s talk about the story. The game opens very sombrely and evokes the emotions right away. It’s important to catch up on the first game or you may not feel all of these things. The soberness fades right away as the game kills off Joel right away. People who critique this simply don’t understand what the game was trying to do. This happens to make you feel a certain way. People wanted a clean death for Joel where they feel the loss but the game does that at the end when it wraps things up. You feel an abundance of emotions including anger, confusion, and sadness. If you feel these things, then the game has done its job by putting you in Ellie’s shoes. These feelings drive the rest of the game as you seek revenge which you yourself want since they killed your beloved character. The game takes you on a roller coaster which I can’t get into it all but it’s amazing. Characters like Dina and Jesse have amazing chemistry with Ellie and they’re likeable so you care about them. The acting by the way is phenomenal, again probably the best in a video game. The game then takes a huge risk and makes you play as Abby the person who killed Joel. They make you empathize with her which you would think is an impossible task given the context. And they just pull it all off. With uncomfortable encounters like fighting Ellie as Abby, to heartbreaking scenes like the whole farm sequence. To the final death wish as you play as Ellie at the end it’s an amazing experience which may not work for some people which is okay, the game is meant to be divisive. But for me it worked. Especially the ending with her decision to let Abby go. This ties in to the heartbreaking flashbacks which are some of the best moments in the game with Joel and Ellie. Ellie finally says she would like to try and forgive Joel and just that alone gets Joel teared up, as well as me. So if she could forgive Joel for that then she could respect him and be better than him by letting Abby go. These themes of love, hate, forgiveness are some of the things that make this game great. All of these things are what makes this game great and although it is flawed like any other game, the great things are so great that they make the game perfect for me. Great job naughty dog!… Expand

    Compared to the first part this game suffers from its boring (and irrational) characters. Furthermore, the complete story is to weak to rescue the game.

    On the other side this game has an amazing and immersive world with an excellent atmosphere (really enjoyed the first 2/3). Interestingly, large parts of the game appear to have been developed long time ago for the PS3 in first place.

    On one side I liked the grim dark aspect of the future, on the other side i was quite disappointed at the end after nearly 40h on hard difficulty. I think game developers should really consider to hire better writers for such kind of projects.    … Expand

    Recien terminado el juego solo me queda decir que es un Juegazoo. Lleno de emociones, corte cinematografico, un mundo espectacular y graficos excelentes. No le pongo un 10 porque a veces (muy muy pocas eso si) el control no responde bien y ademas creo que el guion tiene partes bien absurdas. Pero overall. Le pongo un 9.8. Y con un final que te deja mal

    After finishing the game, I was confused by various thoughts. How biased are we, and how can we objectively see ourselves? For those who terrorize the game, I want to give it a perfect score.

    Revenge, Cycles of Violence, Emotion, Redemption.

    It's heart warming, heart wrenching, warm and cold all wrapped into a post apocalyptic hellscape.

    A masterpiece.

    Oh boy. Most of the Reviews are dissapointed because of the Story. Or the Characterdesign. But like in the real life, things don't happen as you wish. The Story is a Story about Revenge. Nothing spectacular. But the mindblowing way to tell this story is so amazing.
    Definetly a must-play.

    Graphically this game is an 11/10 but man the story sucks! I was actually ok with it up until you are forced to beat Ellie as Abby. I was trusting the game to come through as its a story is a marathon, not a sprint but they never delivered. I didn't want to play as Abby but understood where the game was coming from making me play as her and seeing her POV. I understand that and I do respect that. The game wanted me to see Abby as a human and understand her motives and not just be a one dimensional "bad guy". I did see her POV and I did understand her motives but that didn't change the fact that I hate her and want to play as Ellie again so I can kill her. The section with Abby dragged on WAY too long and when I was forced to "hunt" and then beat Ellie I almost turned the game off for good. I continued thinking that after all this Ellie would finally get her revenge but no, 30+ hours and no pay off. The game really expects me to hate Ellie and see her as the bad guy now? Not happening! You've taken one person I care about away in Joel and that was a bold move but I am not turning on Ellie. I was actually ok with Joel being killed if the premise was to exact revenge but you never get it. Abby gets to sail off into the sunset (almost literally) after she got her revenge but Ellie loses everything. You never really see Abby grow as a character and she never shows remorse for what she did to Joel. You see Ellie struggle with some of the things she has done, Mel especially, collapsing to the floor when she realises she just killed a pregnant lady but no such thing for Abby. In fact when she finds out that Dina is pregnant she says "good" and goes to slit her throat only being stopped by Lev.

    The positives of this game is that it is visually stunning, just breathtaking at points and i did enjoy playing it but the story and disappointing, stupid unsatisfying ending ruined not just the game but the franchise. If they make a third game with Abby as the main protagonist (which im really worried they will) I wont be buying it. I feel so let down by how this game ended. 7 years I waited for this and its such a huge slap in the face.     … Expand

    Hello. The game disappointed me. Gameplay did not get anything new after the first part. The graphics are bad. Bugs in the game. The plot is just the worst. Not logical, uninteresting, not exciting. Characters are not sympathetic

    game is an emotional rollercoaster all through and it feels as though you can feel every emotion and it feels like you are in the game with them. It’s easy to connect with the characters and I highly recommend it to people who like a challenge and aren’t squeamish. Best game I’ve ever played.

    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]
