    The way the writers written Joel out is just... brain dead. 7 years wasted for nothing, I'm not sorry.

    Me parece repugnante que tanto ignorante, por no saber apreciar en si la obra y solo sentarse en que muere un personaje importante, no puedan valorar con lógica y darle la valoración que se merece

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I pretty much knew the game wouldnt be as good as the first one. But I still brought it just to see what the story is about. The first 2 hrs you get no play time as Joel and instead we get a brutal death. Afterwards it makes you wonder why Joel and Tommy were so easy going on telling them there names and where they live. And what's more is that Joel didnt do anything when Abby had the shotgun. The two are suppose to have 20 years of apocalyptic experience but get destroyed by a bunch of rookies that didnt even think bout killing tommy and Ellie afterwards, makes you wonder if they just did it on purpose just because. Another issue in the game is that you are forced to play as Abby for 10 hrs and they try to force you to feel sorry for her. Realistically you cant because her dad was a dochebag and didnt even ask what Ellie wanted and wasnt even planning on telling Joel in the first place. There was forced romance which was not needed because it seemed so outta of place and they give the women in the game to much power which made it seem that they were being sexist such as killing Jesse, Joel and handicapping Tommy. And finally you didnt even get your revenge instead Ellie wimps out and let's Abby, go leaving you with nothing. Some people might say Joel had it coming and that he was meant to die but honestly his actions are justified. He did it because he didnt want to lose another daughter he had no one else to care for after Tess was gone. And like I said before they weren't going to give Ellie a choice to give up on her life. I regret my buy has to be one of the worst games of 2020… Expand

    All the twitter/reddit degenerates who hate just to hate and watched several minutes of the game(most frequently it's first 20 and last 15 minutes of the game) Go and stay in the **** you are . Basically you defame the userscores as a thing, potentially forcing the metacritic and the publishers to shut it down forever, as long as they pretty much have no choice at the current state.

    So the game, to tell the long story short. It’s a masterpiece and almost perfect by all means including story.
    1. The Story
    Although the story is not like any other, structure is far from standard tropes, it takes your feelings, your love to the characters and the first game and just smash you with all emotions that possible, you feel scary, pity, thrill, tension, nostalgic, happy, good sadness about the old times and awful sadness about how the life are going now and what the circumstances can do with your beloved people. All of this mixed through the game in the most unexpected way you can think of, and in many ways you even can’t thing of. I’m not spoiling anything so I will not tell you about what will happen, experience it yourself.
    Just to tease: it’s about the different truths, being blind when being led by strong emotion, meaninglessness of violence and how it’s never late to break the circle, even when you have lost yourself. This story can make you depress at some part, be ready for that, but this is done with the reason in mind. One of the best stories in years.
    2. The graphics
    Here I shall put it as simple as it is. The most technologically advanced game of this gen, just check the DF video (but please for the God, don’t read the comments)
    3. The Gameplay
    Take all you love in the first game gameplay, enhance it in every single aspect and you will get the TLOU 2 game formula. It’s THIS good. Action is faster, impact from weapons and the enemy reactions are best in the whole industry ever. You actually can choose playstyle, in case you don’t like stealth – than don’t go for it, the ND have given you the advanced settings, so you can tune it as it fits your mind, want the most adrenaline tps game ever? Fine, make the enemies aggressive and let the resources be many all around. Like to survive and hide? Not a problem too, there is amazing survival mode for you. In the gameplay aspect there is no other game on the market right now in June 24, 2020.
    Verdict
    One of the best game in this generation, it’s swan song, just like the fist one was in it’s time.
    TLOU 2 can and will make you complete crazy, in every way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Один из самых сильных сюжетов которые я видел за всю свою жизнь. Тема ненависти (жажды мести) и последующего "прощения" раскрыта просто потрясающе. Игра вызывает сильное эмоциональное опустошение и чувство несправедливости, из-за этого многие игроки (даже те кто не играл, лол) считают что игра плохо справляется со своей работой, только вот, главная цель игры как раз и заключается в этих вещах. Особенно разочаровало меня то, что многие люди не поняли концовку, называют ее ужасной, хотя те кто хоть немного думал над историей, поймут ее, и восхитятся какую работу проделали сценаристы. Для полного анализа потребуется как минимум отличный эссеист, а на этом сайте слишком много ограничений для действительно объективного обзора, уверен что скоро мы увидим что-то подобное, а я пока пойду рефлексировать после концовки.… Expand

    I made an account just to try to make an actual unbiased review if this game. It is not a masterpiece and it’s definitely not a terrible game. Most characters are great p, but don’t get real proper endings to their stories. If you made the game shorter, and cut out the game’s last mission it would be a 8/10

    The dialogue, characters and story are, however, beyond horrible. Lazy character writing in a story full of plot holes and inconsistency creates a cast of characters the player doesn't care about and can't follow. Jumping the story out of sequence doesn't help cover these problems but only causes the player to be further pushed away from the game.

    Playing to completion requires incredible stubbornness, stamina and self-loathing. You have better ways to spend your time and money.    … Expand

    Excelent game, if you are focus only on the political, I think you have some problems with that, because It dosn`t matter in the game, the game try to be a reflect about emotions and the consequenses of the revenge. ellie forgave so late and she lost everything!...and I can`t talk about abby because it is an experience so you can forgive her.

Okay the best thing about the first game was the story, and they managed to turn it into the weakest aspect of the game. The game is waaay too long and it feels really stretched out. I give it a 5/10 just because objectively its not a bad game, sure its a big disappointment, but its not terrible. I think we all were really hyped, and thats the main reason this game is getting all the hate. The SJW and LGBT stuff makes the game feel really artificial and all the cut scenes just look like a cheap Netflix show. There are 3 things I really liked about this game. First the graphics oh my god that game looks gorgeous, another thing is that the game works. I didn't get any bugs and it just played really well. And last but not least the soundtrack is amazing. Ingame songs really helped the atmosphere. Overall the game would be a decent experience, if it wasn't a follow up to one of the best games ever made.… Expand

Le doy un 7 al juego únicamente por varias razones: gráficos, que son los mejores que hay de ps4, jugabilidad, movimientos mejorados, nuevas mecánicas y paisajes asombrosos. Pero sin embargo esta opinión la comparto con la mayoría de jugadores y es ni mas ni menos que la desastrosa historia. La historia es muy mala, hay cosas que no tienen nada de sentido cómo puede ser la confianza sin sentido que tiene Joel y Tommy de unos desconocidos, también en la parte del final la cual Ellie no es capaz de matar a la que mató a uno de sus mejores amigos y a lo que fue su padre.… Expand

El juego es bueno, los gráficos, la inteligencia artificial, las armas, habilidades, etc son muy buenos, pero eliminar a uno de los personajes más importantes de la saga le quita mucho valor a la historia, le quita un cierto encanto, de igual manera la historia es buena, no es mala, pero no es como la del primer juego, le hace falta ese Joel del primer juego, igual manera el juego tiene alguna que otra cosilla que puede justarte o no, las animaciones, sonidos etc son muy buenos, la banda sonora en general es buena, pero si no hubieran eliminado al personaje principal tendría un diez de mi parte, no lo he podido acabar, pero de igual manera lo estoy disfrutando mucho y recomiendo que le den una oportunidad, no se dejen llevar por las críticas, es muy buen juego...… Expand

    Give players choose to kill or not to kill at last fight. And you will see did someone really understand your idea. But you don't believe in your own plot, that can't convince anyone.

    Este juego es a logrado superar mis espectativas, como pueden hacer una historia de venganza en la q tu quieres vengarte tambien pero luego empatizas con el antagonista quiriendo que viva, la muerte de joel es triste pero necesaria para que el argumento tenga sentido y consistencia y los graficos y animaciones son de lo mejor de ps4

    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]
