    Stop ruining game narratives to include your political agenda. The new director made some poor choices with who he consulted for this game.

No queria criticar este juego pero tenia que desahogarme de alguna manera y describir el problema que tengo con esto .Naugthy dog es una de mis empresas favoritas creci con sus videojuegos como Crash o Jak an Daxter o mas recientemente con la saga de Uncharted y con the last of us ese fanatismo crecio mucho mas buena historia , personajes carismaticos y uno de los mas tristes prologos en los videojuegos viendo como la vida de un personaje (joel) se destruyo en un par de minutos . Despues de eso los fans soñabamos con una segunda parte y luego con el trailer estabamos demasiado ilusionados luego el 19 de junio llego el sueño de todo fan lastimosamente a la hora imedia de juego todo se va ala mierda desde que muere joel el juego entero se jodio primero creando un odio tremendo haca abby por matar a unos de los protagonistas depues de eso creerian que seria una villana ....pues no .Literalmente ala persona que mato al personje mas querido de la saga se vuelve a jugar en casi todos el juego y igual se esparaba que joel muriera pero no de una forma tan ridicula .Parece que a naugthy dog les importa 3 pares de cojones a los fans y se dejan llevar por lo politicamente correcto ,tambien aunque no lo crean a no la reconozco paso de ser de bastante carismatica a latipica adolescente rebelde mas gichle y saturada ademas de que joel hizo una puta masacre para salvar a ellie porque simplemete no queria perder lo unico bueno que le ha pasado en esos ultimos meses para que despues ellie al persona que mato a jeese y a joel coño JOEL¡¡¡ para que despues la deje vivir y a ella dejandola sin nada sin amigos, sin dedos, sin ua figura paterna nada.Lev y Abby son unos personajes de lo menos carismaticos (Al menos en mi opinion) lo peor es que no va a ver ni un puto dlc dejandonos con una sed de venganza en la garganta inimaginable hubiera estado bien que hubieran varios finales por ejemplo uno en el joel no muera o el que mas deseabamos ...Matar a Abby para mi sindudas el el juego con la peor historia de naugthy dog eso si lo que mas resalta de juego son los graficos que excelentes de eso no hay duda la banda sonora y todo lo demas esta excelente pero unas buenas graficas no son nada con una buena historia .Ademas el hecho de que abby cobre venganza por su padre no nos transmite nada si hubiera aparecido en el primer juego algo la entenderiamos peo no aparece en este juego como si nada .Joel era el ejemplo perfecto de un personaje con el que no se toca , si el videojuegos hubiera salido un poco antes (Cuando lo politicamente correcto no afectaba tanto en la comercalizacion ) seguramente el juego seria excelent .En fin lo criticaria mas pero no me dan ganas mis concluciones son :¿Mejor que el primero? : Para nada Mejores graficos: En lo absoluto ¿Game of the year 2020?: Para nada ¿Vale la pena?: en mi sincera opinion el juego tiene que entrenerte para ser divertido y the last of us 2 si lo es pero si quieres una buena historia, desarrollo de personajes y un ben final este juego no te lo recomiendo para nada Expand

    I've never written a review in the past, but I feel obligated to land my two cents after witnessing the completely unreasonable review-bombing of the game.

    Gameplay
    It's more or less the same gameplay as in the first game, only refined. It's simple, very fluent, easy to learn yet appropriately hard to fully master. While simple in form, the level design and combat mechanics also give much lenience in terms of "choosing your way". You'll always be having several options in how you deal with a scene or a challenge, be it through brute force, stealth, escape or a fine mix. This perspective on the gameplay is of course subjective, and as with the first game many will likely find the game's combat mechanics a little too simple. It is also worth noting how the gameplay translates very well into almost every cutscene, leaving the player with a stunning cinematic experience.

    Graphics
    There's not much to be said in regard to the graphics. A game can't possibly become any better than this on the PS4. The world is masterfully crafted, runs surprisingly smoothly and leaves the players to discover and take in the scenery through very flexible camera controls. The character animation is also stunning, and even the faces of your enemies are carefully put together to portray brutal emotions in face of death. Hands down the most beautiful game I have experienced, and one that will forever represent the peak of PS4's capacity.

    Story
    The story is the game's most contested aspect, and the reason for that is in my opinion rather clear cut: the game really demands a lot of its player. I'm convinced one needs to approach this game with an open mind to be struck and absorbed by the story that is served. For it is served, just as in the first game. Aside from choosing one's way to go about or around the many combat encounters, there's no true player agency to speak of. That means that one must be open to the direction the story invites to, or risk playing the game in opposition to its very premise. If you aren't able to alter and adjust your perspective in accordance with the shifts of the story, you'll likely find yourself judging the game hollow and unattuned. Is that a fault of the game however? I argue that it is not, for it clearly is an intended challenge to be overcome by the player.

    Naughty Dog asks of the player to step into the the others' shoes. Without being open to this the game is bound to fall short, and for a game studio to willingly accept that is puzzling to me. It really rises the bar of what a game can be. It stands as a meta-challenge beyond anything gaming has provided in the past. The Last of Us Part II goes beyond puzzles, levels and combat encounters to challenge its players - it aims at mind and soul, and bids you to dive into uncomfortable emotional depths in a way never before explored. It will not be everyone's cup of tea, and many will not accept the challenge that is invited to, but those who do will be left puzzled and with lasting impressions. The music and soundwork helps elevate the story's impacts and the world itself in a beautiful, if not perfect way.

    In the end I loved it, and am still feeling it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is phenomenal in many ways, for starters the approach to this game is both unique and is bound to be revolutionary for future story-driven games. Gameplay-wise this tops the first game in all aspects, providing an immersive experience to this post apocalyptic world, with new stages of infection introduced. Graphics-wise this game is unanimously praised, and for good reason, the attention to detail surpasses anything I’ve ever seen before, but we couldn’t really expect any less from Naughty Dog. The acting and music should also be praised for it is all flawless, much like the original instalment of the series. Now to the controversial part - the story: [SPOILERS]

    I do believe this game has perfectly depicted a revenge tale, but to say this game is “revenge is bad” is completely reductive to what this game truly means. There is a difference between plot and story, take Part 1 for example: Plot - finding a vaccine for the zombie apocalypse

    Story: Joel learning to open up again to a girl he’s just met, who reminds him of his dead daughter. We can easily simplify the first game, much like we can easily simplify the sequel. The plot for Part 2 is indeed revenge, however the story is inevitably Ellie learning to forgive Joel for his actions in the first game, which concludes this arc at the end once she lets Abby go. As controversial as the ending is, it makes sense from a narrative standpoint. Abby essentially represents Joel’s physical torture, while Ellie represented Joel’s emotional torture, as for years she avoided him after learning the truth. After gaining the upper hand on a weakened Abby, Ellie, for the first time since her revenge quest started, sees a peaceful Joel. He’s not dead, and it’s not of him breaking the news to Ellie, as this flashback was about forgiveness. Through letting Abby go, Ellie was letting go of all the emotional torture she made Joel go through, she was forgiving him, she was letting Joel’s repercussions go. It is clear that revenge did nothing for Abby, as she continued to have nightmares of her dad after killing Joel. With this we can gather that Ellie’s PTSD wouldn’t have ended subsequent to killing Abby, so the only way for her to move forward was for her to let Abby go. My issues: The way Joel was lead up to dying wasn’t necessarily in character. From the first game Joel was depicted as a hardened survivor, a survivor who could tell if someone was faking needing help. In the second game a lot of people have an issue with Joel and Tommy giving away their names to Abby and her gang. My only way to justify this would be that Tommy was likely trying to recruit more people, so he’d see this as a catch, and Joel had softened up in the past four years. This past 4 years have been vitally important to Joel’s growth, as this is likely the safest he’s ever felt, not to mention the literal day prior to this, Ellie had finally opened up to Joel, finally being willing to try forgive him. So after this, he’s bound to be more hopeful and potentially let his guard down upon meeting a girl of similar age to Ellie. The argument that Tommy was out of character, however, is obnoxious. By the end of the game, Tommy had seen Jesse die, Dina and Ellie beaten to near death, Tommy himself was shot in the damn eye, crippling him and making him half blind. After all this he no longer wants revenge on Abby for Joel, he wants it for himself. This lead to his obsession leading to a separation between Maria and himself, and Tommy having an outburst at Ellie, the last chance he had at revenge, opting out for the quest against Abby. Aside from the way Joel died, I found the pacing could’ve been handled better, as I think jumping from playing as Ellie for 10 hours to Abby for 10 hours straight to be polarising to some fans, initially at least. Had they switched stories after every 1 day in Seattle I think it could’ve been more effective, but I understand why they took the approach they did. Ultimately I’m satisfied with the game we got, and I’d say it justifies its existence to continue the story of Part 1. It’s not a 10/10 perfect game, but it’s basically a masterpiece.

    Everything is perfect: the gameplay, visuals, acting, graphics, and combat. A Naughty Dog game most important aspect is the story and this game’s story is so bad, it hurts my stomach just to think about it.

After playing about half the game I was okay I’m going to off Abby and I was so downfounded that I need to play as her. So far it has been an awful journey so far I’m trying to connect to Abby but I just don’t feel anything playing as her. Right now I’m just trying to get the platinum trophy but I just found out I need to play the game again and I just don’t feel like replaying again. That’s my review. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's how they could have fixed the game...

    He (Joel) had A Thing that he didn't like people, He didn't trust people. So why would he go "I'm Joel" Like we lost that character. I think if Ellie would have walked in and say "Hey Joel who are your friends?" Or something like that, then maybe people would look at it differently. Like picture this.

    Ellie finds Joel and says "Hey... Who are your new friends Joel?" in a laughing tone. Then they same thing happened. Sept they Hold Ellie down... Then actually shoot Joel, Instead of torturing him. Then sure Ellie would have gotten revenge. (KINDA LIKE THE GAME) Sept the ending is different.

    She actually stabs, Abby (The most hated game character) Then Ellie would take care of the kid (for d.l.c if they did that) Then Ellie trains that kid to be better than Ellie, Ellie would train Lev to be better than Abby/Ellie. Sure the kid would see Abby dead (He'd wake up) But he would have Learned that's Life, BECAUSE After Ellie saw Joel die she learned. That's a part of life and You have to live with that. That would have been a better ending, that's just me tho. Then after that they work on a part 3. Pretty **** simple.

    If you play like me, this is an excellent stealth game. You can stalk your prey by keeping under cover, hiding in grasses, and misdirection. When ready to strike, I like arrows and knives. You don't have to play like me though. If you prefer a more formal assault you have a wide selection of guns, smoke bombs, mines, explosive ammo. The game isn't just fighting, it is character interaction. As with any Naughty Dog game, you spent a good chunk of it playing with an NPC partner. Your partner isn't an obstacle in the way, they actively help you take down the infected or other enemies. The contextual conversations that take place enrich the experience and often flow seamlessly in and out of perfectly acted cut scenes.

    The graphics
    The environments are simply beautiful. The forests are alive, the rivers and ocean are foreboding and the streets are believable result of decades of disuse. I loved this game. 10 / 10.

    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.
