    Este juego no hace uso de fan service barato y lucha por hacernos sentir vulnerables en un mundo frío y cruel, donde nos dejan claro que nadie es un héroe y que todo puede pasar.
    Hay que ser tolerante y tener la mente abierta para asumir lo que nos quiere contar, aqui no hay ganadores.

    I had the same view as most of the people on here, I loved the first game, my favorite game of all time, and this comes second place and I speak true from my heart, I wasn't even going to buy the game in the first place due to leaks, but my friend bought it and we shared it, and I loved it, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, and it's beautiful, dont jump into any conclusions, and get the game

    Buenas gráficas y juego, pero una basura de historia, personajes forzados y dramas innecesarios, mucha experiencia y expectativas para hacer diálogos tan genéricos y tan poca fluidez entre los personajes

This is definitely the prettiest gane I've ever played though and any other negatives for me are out weighed by the overwhelming positives.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People need to grow up and stop complaining.

    Yes Joel dies. If you played the first game, you would feel attachment to these characters and feel the same anger that Ellie felt. Its a basic plot device and it worked out.
    Abby kills Joel immediately after he saves her. So what? Paints her as the main antagonist and the reason for Ellie's revenge motivations. If you weren't so busy writing half-assed hate letters to Naughty Dog you would be directing that anger toward Abby instead which makes the plot more compelling.
    Yes the Trailer models lied a blittlethis just makes Joel's deathmore shocking and the trailer didnt show anything that didnt happen in a cut scene or flashback.
    Ellie is a lesbian. Its 2020 theres a lot of LGBT in games movies etc. and it was portrayed in a way that doesnt feel forced. There issome force racial diversity which is why im giving 9 and not a 10 but it is hard to believe that a white girl, a Mexican jew and an asian guy would be in the same room during the apocalypse, and when 90% of the population is dead. I have anything against diversity but that is too forced. There are complaints about gameplay being outdated. Why would you change a key part of a critically acclaimed game? You don't because its popular for a reason.
    Thjs game was review bombed within an hour of release so the most people would have known about it is that Joel died Review bombing is a toxic trend and it seriously needs to stop. People put many hours of work into these and you are going out of your way to degrade their efforts. They don't have to make games for you. If you don't like your feelings getting hurt over a small part of the story get over it because you couldn't do better    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished playing, and what an emotionally draining story naughty dog managed to tell. The first few hours managed to sucker punch the player in the gut leaving you with a sense loss over a beloved character. Forcing Ellie and the player to go on a journey for revenge, which if im being honest; I wanted more the Ellie did. Along the way you encounter several members of the group that started Ellie on her journey; unfortunately they have already been killed. On the good side you are able to takeout a couple others from the group. The violence you/Ellie use to beat and kill these people is both satisfyingly graphic and alarming, which is conveyed afterwards by Ellis reactions as to what she has done. As you play progress further the game throws a HUGE perspective shift, and has you play as the person who caused Ellie to sent Ellie on her path of revenge. This pissed me off big I didn't want to play this person. No I wanted revenge just like Ellie did. But as you continue through the game, you start to care for her(or at least I did) this allowed the player a different perspective and it gave the player a chance to, calm down?then towards the end of the game you the player/antagonist brutally beat the living craps out of Ellie for killing her friends... And the screen goes black. Which I thought was the end. Boy was I happy it wasn't a year passed in game showing Ellie with her ("lover") you'll find out if you play. And after some unexpected company you once again travel down the path of revenge and along the way Ellie is once again injured in a manner likewise to that of Joel and bitten(plot twist) not really though. And after fighting through a well armed and armored group of **** (Ellis words) you get to the moment we were waiting for. A knock down knife/fist fight between Ellie and the(most hated person. In a videogame)... Trying not to spoil too much. In the end though, what the player gets is not a happy or sad ending; but a cold resignation, an emptiness the comes with the desire for revenge. and in the end I felt that too. The game leaves you feeling drained emotionally. A truly amazing journey the game manages to take you on, this game is one of if not the best story driven game I have played. As well as the most emotionally hammering. Ill need some time before I go for a 100 completion not ready to go through all that again… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gonna split this into few categories

    1. Gameplay
    Solid. It has what seem to be a few but very meaningful improvements from the 1st game. Better stealth aspect, a more detailed skill tree, also there are tons of options on how you can approach combat within game due to its size. You can go absolutely silent, or full Rambo mode. Each encounter is intense and brutal. I love the horror aspect of this game. It can get repetitive on few parts but thanks to the improved AI and added verticals, the combat gives you more pressure to decide and act quickly. 9/10

    2. Graphics
    Legendary. I haven't seen a game better than this one in terms of graphics. RDR2 and God of War are the closest. The environment, vegetation, facial expression, special effects were spectacular. 10/10.

    3. Story
    Alright, straight up I will be honest. I was aware of the theme setup for this 2nd installment of the series, which is based on hatred and vengeance (opposite of the 1st which revolves around love), and oh boy they gave it all and went extra mile. This game is not fun. It’s stressful, nerve-wracking, and depressing, on which those tonal approaches made it as the most emotional game I have ever played. There are few parts that I hate about the story, specifically on how they handle the death of Joel (which I realized was coming to him sooner or later due to consequences of his past actions). The story also feels a little bit dragged on few parts (looking for Leah and the last Rattlers arc), other than that, the pacing is acceptable. I understand playing the character that killed everybody’s beloved guy is enraging, but this is a perspective game/story. There are always two sides to every story, they have differing motivations. The game forced the player to play a different side of vengeance which I know makes people (including me) uncomfortable, but it forces you out of your comfort zone. To me, it’s not some **** writing, it’s challenging-writing. I actually grew fond of Abby as I played the game (no kidding, I could relate to her especially on 1 thing we feared about, heights. Funny I know, but they did incredible on this specific story arc of hers). Despite this game’s flaws, it left a big impact to me after finishing it. There are so many parts that I love, even to the parts where it hurts. That’s when I knew I understood the message that the game’s trying to deliver. I personally think that the entire point of the game is to criticize blind hatred and revenge. Thus the ending is about breaking the cycle of revenge. Abby blindly charted path for revenge and lost everything she had, the same goes for Ellie. Abby spared Ellie for the sake of her and Dina’s child, and Ellie did so for the sake of Lev. One final flashback where Ellie said she wants to forgive Joel is even proving the point where Abby in this story is parallel to Joel of the first game. A bad, evil person who’s done unforgivable things finds redemption in a child who needs protection. 8/10

    4. Characters
    There are plenty of new characters introduced in this game. They have great and diverse personalities, quality banter, and interesting backstories. Each of the factions introduced in this game also have compelling stories though a bit lacking in depth. My complaint is specific people were acting out of character from the 1st game. 8/10

    5. Design
    It is a linear game but with huge maps for exploring. The environment is surreal to behold. The animation produced by the motion capture is a beauty to look at. The cast' performance is brilliant 10/10

    6. Sound
    the sound of every scene and encounter, every gunshot and weapon modification, item interaction, etc were marvelous, it gave the game great immersion. I have no complaints, pretty much perfect. 10/10

    SCORE SUMMARY : 9/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay is Improved from the first including combat and stealth mechanics. Graphics and overall world building is gorgeous. Little to no glitches. Everything feels very polished. But the main problem most people seem to have with the game, is the story. Or lack there of. I would like to touch on that topic to finish my humble review. First, people say Joel's death was a waste, and was simply just an excuse to continue the series. False. Joel made a sacrifice that affected the entire world's future and while we love Ellie and Joel's development, what Joel did was unforgivable in the eyes of the rest of the world. Including Ellie. If you think he didn't deserve to die, you're living in ignorance of what his actions mean for everyone else. Further exploring those consequences makes for an interesting Revenge/Forgiveness angle. The ending has harbored more hate for this game than I think I've ever seen. I would have liked the ending to have happened differently as well. But the way it happened, regardless of what people think, still goes in line with the story of this particular game. Second, the Homosexuality displayed a "few" times throughout the game is upsetting to many people, simply because they believe that some sort of SJW agenda is being forced down their throats. This is ridiculous to say the least. Not once did I feel that way, because the moments when it happen are so few, and the main focus is on Ellie and her journey to get revenge for Joel. Perhaps certain things pull people out of their comfort zones, and for many, that can leave a bad taste in their mouth. Many could agree that the characters acting as side roles in the game are a little bland and uninteresting, and I could agree with that. But I still don't feel like them existing took anything away from the story. In a game coming off of so much success from it's predecessor, you would think there would have been more dynamic characters they could have worked with. But sadly, TLOU1 had very few characters that we cared about besides Ellie and Joel. Which might be a single downfall of the original. Because now we have to start from scratch. Dina and Jesse and other side characters atleast felt like real people with real problems that an audience should be able to connect with. But again, the story obviously cares solely about Ellie and her journey. So they fall to the wayside. Which is fine. The games build up and thrilling moments become more intense when it's just you and you have noone to rely on But yourself. I give this game an 8 and not a 9 because the story could have had some more quality. I defend it against the hate it's been receiving mainly because the majority of hate directed towards this game is unwarranted. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's come to my attention, after reading several, several reviews, that most people found one thing wrong with the game that has driven them to say what they say. And that's the story. And that's fair. But not fair enough to give the game a 3. So many people have a problem with different aspects of the story, so they want to lump every part of it together, roll it up, and say it is all trash. And that is not fair. So many moments in this game shined very brightly, and made for an enjoyable experience. And sadly a few moments made me realize just where that hate was coming from. But I'm glad to say that there was way more good than bad. Final notes
    If you're looking to play a gorgeous game with intense thriller/horror style gameplay, with fast paced action, high quality stealth mechanics, rewarding adventuring, and overall a decent story line. Then try this game. Whatever you do, don't read hateful reviews about this game first. Try it for yourself and make an opinion based on your own experience. If you loved the first game, you will most definitely enjoy this game as well. Even if there are story moments you don't like. There will be moments you love as well. I hope those shine brighter for you like they did for me.    … 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.
