    Me ha parecido un juego con un gameplay y un apartado técnico impecable. En cuanto a la narrativa, considero que está correctamente ejecutada.

En cuanto a la narrativa, considero que está correctamente ejecutada. Podrían haberlo hecho mejor ya que hay puntos en la trama que no están bien desarrollados o implementados, e incluso hay partes que se sienten alargadas o que no aportan nada importante, pero el cómputo general de la historia me ha parecido muy bueno, tal vez no al nivel del primer juego, pero no por eso me parece malo. Es un gran juego y hay que saber leer entre lineas su guión, que es complejo, y veo que mucha gente solo se ha quedado con la capa superficial. Como he dicho, hay cosas en la historia que no están bien definidas, pero no considero que sean fallas graves. A nivel de gameplay es lo mismo que vimos en el primer juego pero más pulido, no inventa la rueda pero funciona de maravilla. Los escenarios son más abiertos en algunos tramos y da un punto interesante a la exploración y el crafteo, habiendo por supuesto otros de mayor linealidad, el diseño de estos escenarios son muy buenos, aunque a veces son algo caóticos, aunque supongo que es algo hecho a posta puesto que estamos ante escenarios post-apocalípticos.

    Un gran juego, a nivel personal me gustó más el primero, pero este mantiene el nivel.    … Expand

    El juego es genial, el único problema es que creó una expectativa muy alta con la primera parte.

    El mundo de the last of us solo nos dice que los sobreviviente lo logran porque han cometido cosas horribles y esto genera un ciclo de venganza y odio.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i walked into this game with an open mind & the benefit of the doubt. i knew about the leaks, but i chose not to believe them. joke's on me. EVERYONE felt so out of character. joel's death was awful and insulting, but maybe i could've looked past that if the story got better. spoiler alert, it didn't.

    the heart of the last of us was ellie & joel's relationship. and then you tell me that ellie's been mad at joel for YEARS? and then joel gets killed by a bunch of characters we couldn't care less about? not to mention, it was extremely convenient how they found him. and by extrememly convenient, i mean lazy storytelling. another thing that bugged me was how ellie & tom's grief was depicted. sure, this whole game is that they both make it their sole mission to get revenge, but they didn't feel like they were grieving (until the very end, but the end is a whole OTHER story). and abby. goddamn abby. listen, i know what they were trying to do. but they failed. abby's character is not likeable at all (none of her friends are, either). her story might've been the game's attempt at making us see her side, but it felt like an aggravation. her father was willing to KILL A KID. A KID WHO WOULD'VE PROBABLY DIED FOR NOTHING. because there WERE others like ellie, but for some reason this game forgot about that. and the ending was just. hollow. it leaves you feeling empty, and not the good empty. heck, if it ended at the point where ellie & dina were living in their little farm i could've digested it. but it dragged on and on and ellie lost EVERYTHING and for WHAT? to drive in that 'revenge is bad'? that's a too cliche lesson that is NOT worth all that was lost. ellie deserved better than just walking into the woods alone to god knows where. it's like the developers missed the WHOLE point of why people liked the last of us. personally, i loved TLOU because of its story, a story about two people who couldn't be more different finding each other in a world with no mercy. how no matter how awful things got, they had each other. i loved TLOU because of its message of love and hope and found family. TLOU2 was bleak and about hate and never felt like it was a sequal to the last of us. they tried to flip the script, do something new, and it failed miserably. i could never accept this mess as canon. on the other hand, i have to give the actors & animators & world builders credit. they did a wonderful job. the gameplay was good, albeit a bit repititive. but it wasn't worth it. they should've just taken the success of the first one and left. it's a shame.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II remains a controversial game, despite its great gameplay mechanics. It is not possible to please all audiences. In my opinion, the story has many well-written characters. Naughty Dog breaks conventions and shifted the story to a more darker tune.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is a very polarizing game, with different narrative threads weaving together to make a complete story.

    This game does an amazing job at showing how ones actions can have a huge impact on not just themselves but others around them. You can literally rename this game "The consequences of Joel Miller". All the major plot points in this game happen because of Joel decisions in the first game.

    First let's talk about game play. It is leagues beyond the first game having very smooth animation and pretty good AI. In this game you would generally have 3 different play styles depending on who you are fighting. The WFL, The Seraphites, or The Infected. Also playing as the quick and agile Ellie makes it easier to sneak around. Then playing as the brutish Abby makes head on attacks a lot easier. Along with the gun upgrades and character progression trees, you have so much customization. This game is refined to the extreme.

    Graphics/Art: This is one of the best looking games this generation. If not the best looking game to come out in this era. ND jammed packed this world with some much life and detail. Playing in the forest area of this game really made it seem next gen. The character designs and the art are out of this world as well. I noticed especially with the infected. The first Clicker I saw looked much more violent and deadly.

    Music: Once again the Last of Us music is phenomenal the games soundtrack plays on every scene so well. Even outside cut scenes the music while exploring fits the tone of each environment you are in. 0 complaints from me.

    Story: Let me just say this. This games story is beyond the first game. Let's get the elephant out the room; Joel's death. It makes perfect sense that Joel dies this way. Without even knowing the rest of the game his death in my eyes was done perfectly. Joel is not the good guy and never has been. Many in the in-game universe would describe him as a monster. Tess said "Joel we are not good people", Tommy hates those years surviving with Joel because they did terrible things. Joel has killed many innocence and has destroyed many of families. He has tortured and beaten so many people. Eventually that would catch up to him. Abby asked Joel "To guess who they were". Joel has crossed so many people he cannot even make an educated guess to who is coming after him. I love Joel but I can see he is not a good person and is flawed. He got the death he gave so many himself. Also it is perfectly in Joel character to save Abby. He has been in Jackson for 4 years and their main objective is to protect the people in their community and also expand it. They have saved brought people in numerous times over the 4 years. And that is explained within the first 3 to 4 hours of the game.

    Now while following Ellie we get to see her get revenge on those who wronged her. While playing as her you feel her rage and you want her to kill everyone that hurts Joel. But something that was not expected was Ellie slowly starting to break down because of what she is doing. Nora, Mel and Owen are great examples of Ellie not having the stomach to do what she thinks she needs to do. Ellie part of the game is emotional and you believe in her the entire time. Also getting to see how Joel progressed through flashbacks was amazing. We get to see how soft and tender he became over the years. Really well done story telling.

    Now in my opinion the best part of the game. Playing as Abby. When I first started playing as Abby I knew what ND was doing. And I was rolling my eyes because there was just no way I would side with Abby. But as her story continues and you see it play out. You began to realize that Abby has more compassion than Ellie or Joel. Many times she could have killed them all but she never wanted to end up like her biggest monster "Joel". She even runs parallel to Joel in the first game. While he found solace in Ellie, Abby found solace in Lev. By the end of the game I wanted Abby to win. Because she gave chance after chance to people who really did not deserve it.

    Overall do not look at anyone in this game as good or bad. There is no black and white. Only shades of grey. Although I liked Abby in the end, she is still a bad and terrible person. Joel is still my favorite character but he is a monster.

    Go into this game with an open mind and let ND take you on an adventure.    … Expand

Ofcurse this game is not meant for sensitive people, but if you can take it till the end, is worth every second of it. Dramatic and tragic story, but full of emotions.

    O jogo é excelente em todos os aspectos técnicos, porém apresenta uma história bastante incoerente com um final muito decepcionante e frustrante. É uma desonra aos personagens tão bem construídos no primeiro jogo terem suas características completamente alteradas e suas decisões tão superficiais.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the very start of this game i enjoyed it, the game is dark, gritty and very emotional. Joel's death hits like a truck and throughout the game you can sense the loss in Eliie. Ellie's thirst for revenge it something you can get behind, well, for people who played the first game. And as the story unravels and you learn of Abby's reasoning you can start to understand her reasoning. As for the technical parts of the game, the graphics are top notch, the combat feels like an improved version of TLOU1, which i loved. The music in this game will give you serious nostalgia for the first game and some of the songs in it will get you emotional and in some cases, may even make you shed a few tears. one thing i wasn't keen on was Abby's section, especially after what she had done to Joel but i think that was intentional. All in all this is a great game that is deserving of all the praise (and some of the critiques) but not deserving of all the review bombs from people who claim to hate the ending even on day 1 of release. No game is perfect and all have their flaws but this to me is one of the closest you can get to an actual 10/10 so that is the score i will give it. All of this comes from someone that has played and platinumed the game.… Expand

    What a Hell of a ride. One of the most well craftet games there is. I do think it lacks in some parts but that did not bother me all that much personaly. No matter what you think about the story and how it played out, it obviously triggert a lot of emotions, and that is something only very few games can achieve. Form your own opinion about it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the pros of this game based on my opinion are as follows
    - the graphics are great
    - the gameplay is smooth
    - the voice acting is absolutely phenominal
    the negatives of this game based solely on my opinion are as follows
    - the treatment of the characters is horrific
    - the story feels very forced and doesn't flow like with one flashback you find out Abby's reason for killing Joel which is he killed her dad. I feel no sympathy and he made it clean while she tortured him without hesitation.
    - Being forced to make decisions like killing dogs as Ellie when we were told we would have the option
    - The sex scene where druckmann I mean manny rawdogged Abby had no actual point in being in the game other than more shock value like with killing joel
    - It feels like I am watching a TV series and not playing a game
    - at the end of the day it is a story driven game and it is unfortunate that the story is this bad when the voice actors did so well on their end and the gameplay and graphics are so good because I can only give it a 4 out 10    … Expand

As, a player while playing with Ellie, it will make you feel why am I even playing this. The thing is there is no motive. The first game had hope, that the virus could be a cure. Hope is not the emotion this game has gone for, it's revenge mostly.
    The character Abbey, is the worst character I had to play with in my gameplay history. Every time, she died I hoped she remain dead and the story end's right there. But, no she's the protagonist and the game makes you suffer her 10 hours long gameplay.    … Expand
