    Valoren el juego de forma general no solo su historia que en cuestión de gustos y perspectivas cada quien siente diferente. El juego podemos decir que un 9/10 cerrado. Si llegas a tomarle cariño a todos los personaje y evaluar la historia desde cada punto de vista lograrás conseguir una satisfacción muy grande con el perdón final del juego

    I loved "The Last of Us" I loved "The Last of Us Part 2" even more. I can understand why people are disappointment, but I disagree with the majority that are on the bandwagon that claims that the story is bad. I think the story is deep, and complex, and the fact that it puts you in the eyes of another side of the story.

I think the story is deep, and complex, and the fact that it puts you in the eyes of another side of the story. The fact that it forces you to question whether you are the hero, and questions it raises with morality are very interesting. I remember being in a movie theater when Avengers was the hottest thing, and the whole theater would erupt in cheers - TLOU II is the exact opposite of that, and I LOVED it! Absolute masterpiece.

    I'm only sad about the fact that I may never get to experience a story so deep again because the masses have decided, that this is the wrong way to do a story, and I'm sure it will reverberate through the industry. I do wish developers will continue to push the boundaries of story telling the way this title did.. but oh well. I guess I'll just have to go back to playing generic stories again.
    This game is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    No spoilers, I think that most of these bad reviews they give to the game are from people who have not played the full 27 hours of the game, the game as a script is perfect, because it takes you through a whole path of emotions, it wants to take you from hatred towards compassion for a character, and that is what a script looks for and it is something that is well achieved. for me thisNo spoilers, I think that most of these bad reviews they give to the game are from people who have not played the full 27 hours of the game, the game as a script is perfect, because it takes you through a whole path of emotions, it wants to take you from hatred towards compassion for a character, and that is what a script looks for and it is something that is well achieved. for me this story could not end in a better way.… Expand

    Este juego es asombroso en todos sus apartados como el jugable,sonoro,técnico,cierta innovación que se agradece y el mas polémico el narrativo que a mi parecer nos entregan una historia polémica por donde la mires y que sin duda iba a dar de que hablar ya sea positivamente o negativamente sin duda un juego 100% recomendable

We need to realize that we cannot accept every game to have a happy ending, naughty dog has made this masterpiece it's an exhausting, chilling and emotional journey, I initially really hated the idea of Abby killing Joel, but it's important to think from her perspective and if you ignore the false and bombed reviews, I'm sure that as you progress you are going to understand Abby's character and empathize with her story. DO NOT MISS THIS GAME BECAUSE OF ALL THESE **** FAKE REVIEWS!… Expand

    I hate the story it self how it goes and the lack of focus on our beloved characters and how they broke Ellie and even abby at the end,
    I think story wise it could’ve easily been a lot better,
    But putting those aside ,overall package its really good game
    Really high standards and still enjoyable and engaging as ever.    … Expand

    Simply a masterpiece.

    Riveting, heart-wrenching story that makes you connect with the characters unlike any other game I've played. Insanely good graphics, artwork, audio, acting rounds it off.

    Must have purchase for the end of the PS4 era.

    The story was really gripping, I loved the character arcs. I found myself rooting for the characters and hoping their arcs ended happily. The combat is awesome. I really enjoyed the stealth mechanic. TLOU2 has solid representation that feels important. I highly recommend this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Going into the game I was worried with all of the leaks, hate around the game, and so on. I was quite surprised to realize that my experience while playing the game was generally good. Now, let’s start off with the visuals. Of course the graphics, sound, score, and atmosphere of the game is a 10/10. The sound design is probably one of the best parts about this game. Besides Red Dead Redemption 2, I’ve never been more immersed in a video game. Now for the Gameplay. This is where I begin to have a few problems. The gameplay is good don’t get me wrong but while I was playing as Abby I had many issues breaking windows when an infected was nearby. I’ve heard many people say that the gameplay gets repetitive but in my opinion it doesn’t. I actually had a much better experience playing as Ellie than Joel. Ellie is much more agile and quick than the bulkier but stronger Joel. The animations were brutal and at some points made me cringe. I really loved the new puzzles as well. Instead of just moving a latter or a wooden plank, now the game slightly challenges you when it comes to these puzzles. The accessibility features were also one of the best parts of the game. From being blind to deaf you can play this game. It’s absolutely nuts. I experienced a few bugs but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Now we go onto the most controversial part. The story is pretty good. It has many issues however, and I’ll touch on them later. The story was compelling for maybe about 75% of the game. The first hour or two in Jackson is pretty lighthearted and fun. It’s great to experience the true friendship between Ellie and Dina. One complaint however is that they never act like an intimate couple like how they are said to be throughout the story. They just act like friends that sometimes kiss. Ellie is as interesting as ever while Dina is likable, but boring. She’s literally a brown Ellie. Jesse is also pretty boring but fits right into the story so I have no problem with him. Joel’s death scene was done to near perfection in my book. People criticize the story because “Joel gives away his name and that’s out of character. “ When in reality Joel has been living peacefully in a loving community for nearly 5 years, so of course he’s softened. It makes perfect sense. I feel like people are finding ways to be mad because Joel didn’t die an action hero death. That’s the point. We are supposed to feel like Ellie. Mad. After that however the pacing, one of the biggest problems with the story, takes a massive hit when it puts you in a calm Seattle environment doing puzzles and riding horseback while Ellie jokes around with Dina. It’s a fun time, but it doesn’t complement the tone of the story. Especially considering what just happened minutes ago for the player. Seattle Day 2 and 3 however are extremely dark and fit well with the tone and character’s feelings at the time. At one point in day two Ellie even dismembers one of Abby’s friends to get information out of her, and Ellie seems very traumatized after that experience. Then we arrive to a very poorly done character death. Jesse. He gets quickly shot in the head by the antagonist, Abby. And then, at the climax of the story, it takes us all the way back to the beginning and makes us play Seattle day one, two, and three, but from Abby’s POV. The first day was probably one of the most boring experiences I’ve ever had in any video game because I felt no motivation to play as this character. However, on my second play through I appreciate this chapter more and more. It’s the start to Abby’s redemption. She regrets killing Joel in the way she did, and she knows she’s a bad person. She begins to reconnect with humanity after meeting two children and helps them on their journey to give them a better life. After some amazing set pieces and boss fights, we reconnect to the main story. Now they make you play as Abby to fight Ellie after she finds out that Ellie murdered her friends in vengeance for Joel. I felt extremely conflicted but continued to play. The ending is the best part of the story for me. Ellie goes to Santa Barbara to hunt down Abby one last time. In the final boss fight, Ellie let’s Abby live. Knowing that they both have lost everything, and that it’s too late. Ellie ends the cycle of revenge. The story is about forgiveness. Ellie never got to forgive Joel for what he did, and Ellie sees hope in Abby and Lev. Both women’s lives were consumed by obsession over revenge. And Ellie knows this. However, it’s too late. Ellie’s worst fear has come true. She has lost everyone she’s ever cared about, and so has Tommy due to his obsession. He lost his wife and his brother. These characters are the most human in any video game, acting irrationally and impulsively. While the story has many flaws it is still a brilliant one.… Expand

    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]
