    Económicamente no me puedo permitir centenares de juegos pero esta fue sin duda mi mejor inversión hasta la fecha.
    The Last Of Us Part II no es un juego divertido; a diferencia de su predecesor, este juego contiene más momentos grises y obscuros, sin embargo una vez que comencé ya no pude detenerme.
    Una obra maestra ♥️.

    Visually great. Some aspects are what you would expect. Overall this ruined the love I had for the first game. Only question I have is why. Why the creators of this game hate us and hate the game they created. I will never buy another one of their games. This game left me depressed after finishing it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's very easy to get on your high horse and believe that your creation is too sophisticated for "people to get". That will make some people compelled to "get it", so they can feel brighter, or more open-minded than others. But there's nothing to "get". This game overstays its welcome by 15-20 hours. It's repetitive and extremely boring, trying so hard to shock you with one of the worst excuses for a story I have ever experienced in gaming. The sudden flashes of storytelling brilliance (the astronaut scene) only hold contrast to the bleak everything else. The devs have completely abandoned everything that made the first game the masterpiece that it was and filled this game with a lot of SJW stuff, for the sake of being edgy. Unmemorable, and even completely insufferable characters that you are forced to spend time with, and Ellie can easily make this list, too (I disliked her character arc just as much as I disliked Abby). By the end of this unfortunate 30 hours experience, I couldn't care less who dies and in which order. It is hard to believe that such a flop could possibly exist when you have unlimited resources, and top-notch talent on all frontlines of visuals, music, level design, and voice actors. But those things are never enough if there's no compelling story to tell, and I feel extremely sorry for the people that were overworked to create this game. You can put 10.000 plants and detail every piece of grime on a wall by hand, but that's not why we play games. And elementary school philosophy doesn't count as a compelling story. I regret every second I have spent in the second part of this game. I am extremely disappointed to say that. I will never buy another Naughty Dog title, as long as the current leaders stay in their place.… Expand

Sadly, not everyone will understand the journey or the message (which is not simply "revenge is bad lolz"). Despite all the vitriol this game is getting, many of us see what you did there, Naughty Dog. Bravo!… Expand

    Исключительно все игроки считают историю очень слабой. Не малую роль сыграли ожидания игроков. Я начинал играть с этой мыслью. Но чем дольше играл, тем больше история меня захватывала и геймплей уходил на второй план. Конечно до уровня первой части в плане сюжета не достать (от слова совсем). Примерно после половины игры будет фраза, которая объяснит все решения сценаристов. Те решения, которые вызвали такое всеобщее негодование, в том числе связанное с концовкой.

    I don't usually complain about games being too long, but when they're this repetive and go on for over 20 hours when they could've been done in 15, it's also a con.

    Some aspects of the game are great, some are terrible. Sadly, this is mostly a movie-like game -- A cinematic experience, if you will. If the writing is not good, if the story doesn't hit you, the whole package falls apart. This is what happens with The Last of Us part II.

    It has its flaws like any other game before and like any game that is yet to come. But no matter if it's graphic, storyline, characters or gameplay, it's incredible. I cannot understand all the hate. Play it yourself.

From wanting to take my revenge for what a character has done to me to then switching and yet again take my revenge against the character I had played 10 hours ago. It takes risk and massive guts to try and switch my perspective and opinions and they succeeded wildly. The game really has to be played to be able to understand and appreciate what it’s doing.… Expand

How the story is puzzled together and how moments of expected built up climax feels like a complete waste of time and effort. I believe that Neil and the other writers will learn from this and will write amazing scripts for Naughty Dog in the future. Even the best people sometimes fail.

The Last Of Us Part 2 compared to the first game is an absolute dumpster fire. The story was trash, forcing us to focus on new characters that we couldn't bother to give two **** about. Not only that, but it was really boring. I know everyone thinks people are joking when they say that they've fallen asleep while playing this game, but it's actually possible to do so. They disrespect such a beloved protagonist with a gruesome and unnecessary death, and then they make you play as that same character for ten hours. I get that the game is trying to make the character see the **** that Joel's actions put Abby through, but the game doesn't even offer a choice to kill or spare Abby. The one and only thing I enjoyed aside from the graphics was the phenomenal gameplay. Thanks, Neil Simp Druckmann, for ruining such a beloved franchise with so much potential.… Expand
