    I found the game to be very enjoyable. From the story, the gameplay, the sound design, the graphics, etc. It's the type of game that will stay on my mind for a very long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, to begin with, I will start by giving my opinion about the gameplay. People have said that the gameplay seems repetitive and, at times, boring because of its resemblance to the first game. You cannot change the main essence of the saga, which is the gameplay. Obviously new movement options have been added such as crawling or climbing.

    Speaking now of the graphics section, there is not much to say. It is one of the best games in terms of graphics, and yet people continue to put mediocre marks, anyway.

    Speaking of the political issue, people have strongly criticized this game for its supposed progressive political propaganda. It doesn't bother me that there are LGTBI characters, what's more, I think this needs to be normalized. What this game has wanted to show is that you can create characters with their own personality. There are people who are surprised to see that Ellie is a lesbian when she has been since the first game, and people are scared. I do not understand why.

    Speaking a bit about the story and the main plot, I think it was a great idea to have created another character (Abby), and use it to put Joel's death in perspective, and I think that is something that very few people ever understand. Abby is not a bad character, her behavior goes through something. We hate her for what she's done to Joel, but people don't remember who Joel was in the first game, he was a smuggler, a bad person. It wouldn't be fair for him to die a hero in this second game either.
    The temporal jumps are also a good idea to understand the history, instead of switching all the history between controlling Ellie and Abby, is better to play 6 hours with one a nd then play another 6 hours with the other,

    To sum up, this game does not deserve a 10, but neither is it a game of 5 or 6 as many people describe it. There is a lot of work behind this game, and for me, it has been one of the best of the generation.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game. I believe that the hate is exaggerated and it’s mostly people who have read the leaks and then didn’t buy the game. Trust me most people I have spoke with who avoided spoilers then played the game loved it. Personally, I understand the hate but I also understand why people believe it is a masterpiece. There is some pacing issues but does a lot of things very well. The combat is pretty similar to the first one but they’ve added all the things you wished you could do in the first one making Ellie much more agile than Joel - kind of like an uncharted meets TLOU 1. Overall this game is a rollercoaster of emotions that will never leave you. I recommend this game to anyone who is on the fence about it!… Expand

    El juego está excelente en cuanto a mecánicas, detalles, jugabilidad, paisajes y "realismo". La historia no está mal del todo, de hecho es muy buena, lo único que hace que reciba malas críticas es que tiene un argumento diferente al que se esperaba ya desde hace años de su anunciamiento.

    I actually enjoyed this game. I believe it to be game of the year. An emotional roller coaster. They did a good job with the story mixing. I wasn't too fond of the hidden cultural type of propaganda behind certain characters. However, the overall game was very well done.

    Immersive/intense gameplay and a story that ties perfectly with the first game. My only negative is some of the choices that the game forces you to make to empathize with a certain character can be a bit forced and manipulative.

    The story is amazing. It' s not of theses thousands of stories good fighting evil. It is humans fighting humans. Both sides are doing good things and evil things. That makes the story really realistic. The story is about humans struggling with themselves and what society wants them to be. So this isn t a story to make you feel good. It is a story to make you think about what you explore. And you have to think a lot.
    By playing both sides the player learns, to know different points of views for one incident. And so in the end it isn't easy to say what ist wrong and what ist right, or if there even is wring and right.
    Only the ending could have done a bit better.    … Expand

Многим он не понравился, но я скажу так, во-первых - саму историю в основном писал Нил Даркман и вы думаете он что, не имеет права закончить свою историю, как он хочет? Во-вторых - сюжет развивается, держит в напряжении, в нем есть неожиданные повороты. Да и вообще он очень эмоциональный, а когда еще и играет эта музыка.... я чуть не заплакал на концовке. Это правда игра, которая заслуживает внимания, особенно тогда, когда ты ее ждал 7, сука, лет. Я бы снял 2 балла, все-таки в ней есть минусы, но за ТАКОЙ не заслуженый хейт в ее сторону, я хоть и не много, но хочу восстановить справедливость. Да, она не идеальна, над ней постарались вонючие фемки и другая шваль, внешность Элли могла быть намного красивее, как и Дины. Но заметьте, даже после того, как Ноти Дог под давлением фашистов, изуродовали Элли, она все равно прекрасна, как ни крути.По поводу ЛГБТ, скажу так, мне по душе такая раскладка личном плане Элли, это иногда очень мило и не смотрится, конечно как то отвратительно по сравнению со сценой, как раком ставят Эбби, тем более, как мы видим из дополнения, Элли уже в детстве нравились только девочки. Так что, я не считаю, что есть прям прямая пропаганда. И еще кардинальный минус этой игры, это парт за Эбби. Мне, как и многим игрокам, она не понравилась и я бы хотел в идеале, чтобы он был хотя бы чуть-чуть по меньше. Но я примерно предполагаю, почему это сделано. Я думаю, это ради еще большей привязанности к Элли в сравнение с Эбби. Вообщем игра отличная и полита дерьмом она совсем не справедливо. Напридумывали себе что-то, задрали планку выше небес и потому ноете: «почему так слааабо». Я люблю The Last of Us. И эти игры для меня теперь самые любимые.… Expand

Audiovisualmente es increíble tanto en gráficos (escenarios, iluminacion, animaciones...) como en sonido (banda sonora, sonidos de ambiente, doblaje...) Tiene un diseño de escenarios soberbio, con una cantidad de exploración y de coleccionables muy alta, que además alargan el juego y no se te hace para nada aburrido explorar y recoger estos. El sistema de combate mejora bastante respecto al tlou 1, ya que aquí se le añade a Ellie y a Abby la habilidad de esquivar, no solo eso, si no que también tenemos un árbol de habilidades mucho más grande y complejo, y un sistema de crafteo excelente, aunque sin cambiar mucho del original. Además de esto cuando combates con varios enemigos (ya sean infectados o no) el juego te obliga a pensar fríamente tu estrategia, ya que la inteligencia artificial de los enemigos hace que no te valga cualquier estrategia, que por cierto, esta, como os podréis imaginar, es increíble. Pero el juego también tiene puntos negativos y para mi estos están en la historia, ya que está no tiene ni de lejos la calidad del tlou 1.(Alerta spoiler) Para empezar porque creo que matar a Joel de esa forma fue una decisión horrible por parte de naughty dog, está bien que maten a un personaje, ya que eso te da incentivos a asesinae al que lo hizo, pero matar a Joel de esa forma tan humillante me dio hasta asco. Como he dicho matar a un personaje está bien, pero tienes que elegir según el personaje, si quieres que este muera como un perro o como un heroe (y para mi Joel debería de haber muerto de esta forma). Yo personalmente creo, que si le tienes mucho cariño al personaje (como es mi caso) te puede arruinar un poco la experiencia. Una de las cosas que más he visto a la gente quejarse es del final, ya que Ellie no mata a Abby pese a haber matado a mucha más gente en el pasado, bien, se que mucha no va a estar de acuerdo conmigo pero yo creo que si tú te tomas el final como que quiere dar un mensaje, este es muy bueno. El juego quiere que tu enpatices con el supuesto villano del juego, y que veas que aquí no hay ni malos ni buenos, por lo tanto teniendo en cuenta eso, que no muera Abby es algo que está bien. Entiendo que si ves el final desde un punto de vista lógico te parezca una basura, pero como he dicho antes, intenta tomártelo como un mensaje, para que veas que la mayoría de villanos tienen motivos para hacer lo que hacen. Mi veredicto final es que este es un juego sobresaliente, al que no le pongo un diez porque flojea en ciertos puntos de la trama, pero si te gusto el tlou 1 deberías de jugar a este sin dudarlo

    Even if some people disliked this sequel, I personally think this game is very enjoyable and fun to play. The main requirement to have a good time playing it is approaching Tlou2 open-minded, and trying to accept what happens. Apart from some story moments Tlou2 is a perfect game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay, graphics are 11/10. The level of detail is incredible. Now the story, personally I think it was ok, it wasn’t a masterpiece but it wasn’t a garbage as a lot of people say. As a play I felt like the more I advanced, the more Ellie suffers, and for me that’s what a lot of people hate, but that is life my friends. You can’t always think things through and when you realised where are you standing, it might be too late. Now about Abby, I never liked her, not ever after the time we play as her, and I hated when you have to fight Ellie as Abby. I also didn’t like what they did Tommy at the end, I felt it was unnecessary. Now the finale, I expected a lot worst, I don’t know what people expected, but for me, I didn’t want to kill Abby. It was like if Ellie killed her, she would truly lost her way and probably wouldn’t be able to get better(also I like Lev and it was like taking the last thing that he/she has). Also I understood it as a way of forgiving Joel. It was a way of finding the light. I liked that. She didn’t lose everything because she finally finds herself. Dina will forgive her. Trust me. I also think that the more attention you put to the little things the more you like the story but maybe that’s something more personal. Sorry for my English.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright have seeing all the massive negativity thrown this games way, especially on the DAY of the launch, I was expecting to a moderate level of story structure with character development and story arcs to be about the same if not worse. I was surprisingly wrong and not that shocked at the massive amount of negativity thrown toward this games direction. It's on par with the DMC: Devil May Cry game, when that came out a lot of people were just hating on the game and blasting it online. Now onto the giant elephant in the room with this game, Joel's death. That seemed to solidify a lot of peoples hatred for this from the get go which, again, I can understand why they were made but I don't understand why they couldn't look past their anger. This game is very much different in it's story telling then any game I can think of, it feels more a kin to an actual novel then your standard story in a game and that I think is fantastic. It shows Naughty Dog is willing to elevate and evolve the way we tell stories in games which is something that has to change. Many games now-a-days fall victim to the obvious flow and point system. For example, whens the last time you played a game when you were in your enemies shoes? When's the last time you played a game where you were running around and gunning down the people shooting at you then next minute you are seeing their actual day to day operations and camps that have men, women, and children just doing their best to survive a horrible situation. Now that's not to say all you get are sunshine and rainbows on the other end, you do see their darker sides, like the toture and suffering they were inflicting on the captured Seraphites. Or their real lack of compassion toward anyone that is not fully with them, that's an encompassing story. There's an author, Sherillyn Kenyon, who has done this exact thing with certain characters in her stories, not afraid of showing them at their lowest points and their highest. To me this game elevated from where the original took off and just kept reaching for higher aspirations.

    If you REALLY feel the story was bad, that's fine. But if your only major complaint is that Joel is dead and you have to play as his murderer and understand her side of the story. Then your opinion doesn't matter because what Naughty Dog did here was great and it should be respected as such.    … 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.
