Un muy buen juego a pesar de lo que habla la gente, no tienen idea de juegos buenos, este por ejemplo es un claro ejemplo de un muy buen juego, ahora si te molesta la muerte de Joel y por eso dices que es un mal juego dejame decirte que eres un total idiota y recomendarte que te alejes del mundo del gaming. Bueno ese es mi punto de vista.… Expand

    This game is single-handedly the greatest piece of media I have ever consumed. Nothing else has torn me so much and given me so many different emotions throughout the experience.

So, it is very sad that this game got review-bombed to hell due to leaks that ranged from either totally false, misleading, and/or out of context. Many of these negative reviews were put up within hours of the game being released when it should have taken well over a day (without food or pee breaks) to even complete the game, let alone contemplate it enough to write a review. However, if you are still considering playing this game, don't let the negative user reviews mislead you. Understand that TLOU 2 is a dark and mature piece of fiction, but give it a chance. I'm not joking when I say I think this game is a masterpiece.

    The gameplay doesn't change up a whole lot from what already worked in the original game, but it still adds some welcome new mechanics that give the player more freedom and choices. In addition, Naughty Dog has included a plethora of accessibility options so that pretty much anyone can enjoy the game. They've also put a technical marvel on display here! From the graphical fidelity, the motion capture, the incredible animation and acting, the riveting musical score, those hilariously realistic rope physics, and the terrific sound mixing, TLOU 2 does it all better than any previous Naughty Dog game. Actually, it does that all better than any game I've ever played! Not to mention it does it all at a very stable 30fps at 1080p or 1440p depending on your console.

    The sense of atmosphere is also an incredible feat. In fact, there are many moments where the sense of dread and anxiety might be overwhelming for those not accustomed to such intense games. TLOU 2 mostly takes place in a harsh cordycep-infested Seattle, where most of the residents have only survived as long as they have by being ruthless and cruel, and for you to survive, this game will require you to be the same. These residents of Seattle have divided into factions and appear to be locked in an endless cycle of violence with one another. While not everyone within is ruthless and cruel, the ones that are often have more than enough determination and resources to do as they please, regardless of the consequences.

    The pacing and editing here is also master-class and unique. There are a number of flashback sequences this game has to juggle, and each sequence involves different perspectives, characters, and years. Yet, each flashback arrives at the perfect moment in the story and avoids the pitfall of becoming messy and confusing. With each flashback, a new layer of the story will peel back and earlier story beats may now make more sense or have new depth added to them.

    With all that said, let's talk about the story, the source of all the vitriol and controversy. In my opinion, the story here is vastly superior to the already excellent story of the original TLOU. It has more emotional impact, the characters have more depth, and the stakes are much higher and more personal. TLOU 2 is presented as a revenge story and while revenge is important since it is the fuel that drives our characters (to some seriously dark and disturbing places, I might add), it is reductive to claim the story is nothing more than: "Revenge Bad". TLOU 2 actually tackles many complicated themes such as love, grief, forgiveness, tribalism, individuality, humanity, and obsession. As I said earlier, the story is also edited in a very unique and interesting way that I believe only a video game could succeed at. Suffice it to say, the story will have you actively engaged and you will find yourself pushing forward, eager to learn more.

    Well, for most of you anyways, and that's the true tragedy of all this. This game is releasing in one of the most divisive and toxic times in recent history. TLOU 2 includes powerful female leads and LGBTQ+ characters in its story and for some bigots that proved unacceptable. The most generous and forgiving explanation I have to explain the rest of the backlash is that the story simply wasn't what some people wanted. However, to say this game has a "bad story" is simply wrong. Objectively, the story of TLOU 2 is quite brilliant! Naughty Dog took much bigger risks here and they clearly had their minds made up on what kind of story they wanted to tell, and in my opinion they delivered. Yes, the story broke my heart at times and made me cry, but it also made me smile and laugh and instilled a sense of hope. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time a game affected me so! Sure, the story is dark and intense and that won't be to everyone's liking, and it may not be to yours, but after finishing it, you cannot say it was told poorly. I loved The Last of Us and I loved its sequel. If you played the first game and loved it, as long as you approach the sequel with an open mind, I'm sure you'll love it too.    … Expand

Los gráficos hablan por si solos (Así que supongo que me ahorraré ese tema).

    LA HISTORIA... No digo que sea taaan mala, el destino de Joel si es objetivamente malo, pero TLoU no se caracteriza por tener el típico final predecible, el final es devastador y puede tener bastantes puntos de vistas subjetivos.

    I think this game was a great sequel for what the writers are trying to achieve. You were able to play as a protagonist and antagonist in the story who were in the end both just trying to survive and both seeking revenge. The ending was great and led to an epic fight scene. I’m very Satisfied with how it ended and I’m hoping they release a third one.

    Masterpiece. Of course graphics are unbelievable, better than 99,9% of games on PC, the gameplay is so enjoyable, I would very much love a secondary mode to fight against IA without story, just to play with this nice gameplay (I hope the multiplayer mode soon). And of course the story is so well built.
    Good job Naughty Dog ! (See you next Uncharted ?)

    Even though hated by many, The last of Us part II is a masterpiece. The story may be terrible for some, but even these people who criticize the story acknowledge that the gameplay and the graphics are completely amazing. The story is not bad, it's really different from what it was expected, but it's still impressive, it has great characters and a worthy finale.

This game is exquisite to play, the story content, and character development didn't go the way I wanted it to...but I was holding so fast to who the characters were before. This game impacted me more than the first. It broke my heart, but the more I think back on the game, the more I love it. Fingers crossed there's a third in the making.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My first time through this game, I was definitely outraged how the story played out. I was more irritated by playing Abby. Gameplay and environment was beautiful and compelling. After the finishing the game, I had an epiphany about the whole story and my experience about it: I went about it in such a close-mined way, that I had to replay it again. From my first play through, I already knew that there were many layers in the story that are so reflective and relatable. This chaotic world demonstrates the usual elements of hate, love, acceptance, revenge, and forgiveness. What they did with all of this was special. Sure, this is a post-apocalyptic world, but to a certain point we should expect people, especially loved-ones to die-be it by a reasonable or nonsensical chain of events. Its life...and I believe they tried to make this as realistic as possible. So RARELY do we in real life truly accept and practice "walk in their shoes." Wether we liked it or not, we also ventured into this world in Abby's footsteps (as excruciating as it was because of what she did). I felt so deeply conflicted as both Ellie's and Abby's worlds collided, because I came to understand their actions. Not only that, the music and incorporation of Joel's and Ellie's bond over the guitar added such a haunting, riveting, and beautiful touch, and what that came to symbolize throughout the story-it was impactful! Also, anyone else think the controller's directional pad was cleverly used in this game for the guitar?? Through such a dark world and truly understanding the characters, who is REALLY at fault? Joel, Ellie, or Abby? Its quite interesting that Joel's love for Ellie created such a dark domino effect. How often is love misinterpreted that later makes us reflect, understand, forgive, and accept love's true intentions before it is too late or have lasting consequences. I believe we saw all of this as everything that I mentioned was simply just a generalization of what this game has to offer. This is a game that deserves your attention...what a story to say the least.… Expand

    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]
