    Este juego me hizo ver que puedes llegar a querer a alguien a quien odias con toda tu alma, que la muerte puede llegar en cualquier momento y sin aviso, y que tarde o temprano puede llegar el juicio de nuestros actos. Una gran obra, para los que les gusten las obras de extrema crudeza.

    I liked the game for its atmosphere, story, and characters. It was interesting to watch the parallel progression of stories from two points of the narrative. One branch of the story followed the path of revenge, carrying the character down, and the other the other way up. Lively emotions, lively characters. Great cutscenes. I recommend it to everyone.

It is a good game with a brutal revenge story and wth an unbelievable atmosphere and immersion. It is certainly not the best story, but it took me in and I couldn't stop playing. Yes, Joel dies and it made me angry and I hated the game for a minute. However after you learn the motivation and story of the other side, it actually makes you understand. So don't get confused by all the crybabies and just enyoy the game for what it is: a game!… Expand

A great game, good graphics, the truth is this is one of the best games I have seen, the truth does not deserve to be hated, the truth is when you understand the story well, even the smallest detail and you will understand it by or how he did it. The truth is that the company makes great videogames, this game with large garifs and with a great message even for me is not all rosy colors, it has some other flaws but for me I accept them since not everything is perfect in this one, I play a great A game that does not deserve, be trampled on and hated, the community should not be like that, I already miss it, this is a game, ok, it has errors, but please, do not throw hatred, just because if you play the game and then say your criticism as it is and the truth , everyone will already have their own opinion, would you recommend it? Well if you want to have a great experience and with great graphics this is your game but if you are demanding in the story that is the main thing it is not your game if you played the first one, but do not get angry to such an extent just for touching topics that one You can easily get offended or trash the game just because… Expand

    It's tempting to give this a 10 to outweigh some of the ridiculous reviews this game has received, but I think it's better to give my honest opinion. This game is not perfect, it's not a masterpiece but it is still a very good game which I continue to think about months after finishing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. And here is my review : Tlou 2 is a very ambitious game that is depressing yet it’s the brutal realism that raises the bar of gore and tension that I’ve never before felt in a video game despite playing on the second easiest difficulty. The story and some dialogue can feel awkward at times but it’s the acting that can sells the story. I know for a fact that most of the SJW stuff that was pushed into the story was probably because of druckmann however that does not warrant framing the game a disaster like most people have. The story for the most part is pretty good , I understand that most people don’t like that Joel died but the fact is that if someone like Jesse died and this was his revenge story then it would fall flat because we the player don’t know or care that much about Jesse. By killing Joel they ignite anger from the player and thus drive forward the revenge plot of the game with you relating with how Ellie feels. Slowly you start disconnecting from Ellie as she commits horrid acts like killing a pregnant woman and actual people without remorse that slowly ushers in the theme of just how monstrous humans can be. As Ellie is descending into madness in a drive of vengeance and redemption Abby is ascending up by bonding with her friends and moving on but she realised that she now has no purpose now that her fathers killer is dead but eventually Lev enters her like and like Joel with Ellie,Abby slowly becomes more and more humane as she and lev become more attached and try to survive. It’s genuinely an enthralling story that never feels like a drag or too far fetched , Ellie gets injured easily , crafting is a must , resources are scarce,numbers are never on your side and (spoiler free) characters you actually started to care about die without warning or build up which feel sudden but realistic at the same time.Overall the story is dark and unsettling but that’s what last of us has always been. But even if you don’t agree with the story and it’s direction( which isn’t for everyone) the game play is a unanimous W because it excels everywhere the original may have lacked , that is only possible to the variety of new systems and weapons at your disposal not to mention a lot of movement and parkour not possible before. It’s also nice that Abby and Ellie play every differently from each other as Ellie favours stealth while Abby favours strength and momentum. Boss fights for the most part are good but three stand out from the rest and that has to be the Ellie boss fight, Tommy(Sniper) and rat king boss fight. It’s amazing when fighting Ellie how she uses all the weapons and techniques you learned against you and it’s truly tense , similarly the sniper boss fight may feel like a slow drag but it’s paranoia of not knowing when you may get shot that’s really gets you but the rat king bloater boss fight is my favourite from the game due to the sheer stress and tension you feel throughout the 15-20 min fight. It’s been a while since I’ve felt sad after beating a game , it’s normally joy or excitement but this shows you that tlou2 is not like other games. A game that emotionally invests you is W in my book regardless of what the majority think. The ending also feels depressing yet slightly satisfying as Ellie finds a battered and broken Abby and is ready to kill her but when she sees what’s become of Abby and the fact that Abby hurries straight to lev and even offers Ellie a way out but as the memories come back to Ellie she fights Abby and I felt bad as Ellie was drowning Abby I didn’t feel like I was winning , killing a dying woman that only cared about the survival of her companion lev. But then all of sudden Ellie get a memory not the one of Joel dying like she did for the rest of the game but the memory of their last conversation and remembering that Ellie had forgiven Joel and that he died on good terms with her brought her the satisfaction that she had thirsted for so long, not Abby death but a simple memory was enough to make Ellie remember that killing Abby would only send her even more down into the madness that had taken ahold of her and so she lets Abby go and returns to the farm. Where she is unable to play the Joel’s guitar, his last memory for her. And thus she’s able to move on. It may not be better then the original but it’s in no way worse.
    All in all a 8.8/10 from me    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As much of a cliché as it is, The Last of Us Part II is ahead of its time. This has one of the most memorable stories that I've personally ever played, and it contradicts the first game entirely. In The Last of Us Part II, Joel is a shell of a human being at the beginning of the game, but through the innocence of his child companion, Ellie, he's given a second chance, both as a human being in general, and as a father. In The Last of Us Part II, Ellie starts as a good person (a little bit rude, maybe) and by the end of the game, she is left by everyone she loves, loses two fingers (making her unable to play guitar anymore), and develops severe PTSD. In my opinion, making the sequel of the most heartwarming game I've ever played, the most depressing game I've ever played is the boldest artistic decision made by a Triple-A game studio to date. If you hated this game because there is no relationship like there is with Joel and Ellie in the first, 1. I think you missed the point entirely 2. There is, between Abby and Lev, but it isn't the a huge part of the game. The Last of Us Part II has the least satisfying ending of any story I've ever experienced, but that doesn't make it bad. Ellie changes her mind, and she's allowed to do that, because Ellie is a dynamic character, and you aren't Ellie. Trust me, I wanted to kill Abby as much as the next guy, but at the end of the game, following Abby to the ends of the earth to kill her is just as bad as what she does to Joel, setting Ellie down this path, and if Ellie does that to Abby, she'll be setting Lev down that path, too. But she ends the cycle, she may have down the completely wrong path in her life, but Ellie still knows the difference between right and wrong. The biggest flaw with this game, is it's structure and pacing. It's not at all a traditional structure, which I think they probably should've gone with, but it didn't take much away from my enjoyment of the game. Maybe I'm just sad that he died, but I wish we could've seen more of Joel, before his death. This is definitely not a perfect game, but I think that it's a fitting sequel to a fantastic game. If you're offended because the main character is a lesbian, the other main character is believed to be transgender, and a side character is definitely transgender, then you're the snowflake.… Expand

I love how this game challenges you mentally and and gets you to think about the choices Ellie makes and whether you agree with her or not affects how you see the story. Emotionally this game asks a lot from you, it takes a lot out of you but i love how this game touches on questions most games wouldn't dare to ask.

    Visually this game is outstanding, it is always constantly dripping with atmosphere and had me immersed the whole time. The gameplay is so fluid, by far the best stealth game in the business. The way Ellie moves in and out of stealth is so smooth and makes you feel epic. Of course no game is perfect, which is why i gave it a 9, there are a few bugs here and there but what game doesn't have them. I also can understand where people are coming from when there say this game wasn't for them, to some people this game just doesn't work which is why i strongly believe you should play this game for yourself as it is up for interpretation and should be a choice you make whether you like this game or not. For me it was a hit, i couldn't stop thinking about this game when i wasn't playing it and didn't want it to end. I think no other game has made me cry as much as this one has, but that was a good thing for me because i was truly immersed in the story and the characters. Well done Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This game is the most emotional I've ever played. I've never experienced something similar before. After I reached the end of the story, I couldn't even sleep because of all the thought I had in my mind.

After I reached the end of the story, I couldn't even sleep because of all the thought I had in my mind.
    The story is not fun. At all. It's very hard and painful to watch. But it's incredibly well written and shown. This is more than a game or even a movie : the screen became a window showing real events. The immersion is incredible. It was a crazy experience, like if something terrible was happening, if someone you love destroy himself, and you couldn't do anything about it.
    I did not like this story, because it caused me pain and sadness. But it's the reason why it's a great story : it bring you to intense reflexion, and that's a point of fiction.
    So indeed the game is not fun, it's not a game to relax : it's a game to experience intense (bad) emotions. You will not have a good time playing it, but you'll get out of it stronger.

    So that's about the story, but the scenario is one single part of gaming.
    This game is technically incredibly beautiful. It's not perfect, I experienced a few bugs (even one which forced me to reload the game) (I mean a few, like 3 or 4 in 30 hours) which ruined the immersion. But apart from this, graphics are insane for a PS4 game. The feeling of guns are also very good, you really feel like to shoot with a powerful thing.
    But (and that's why I gave 9 to this game and not 10) the game is too long for its story : some scenes are unnecessarily long, with lots of buildings to explore which all look the same, or some ennemies in places in which it makes no sense. Sometimes I felt a bit bored, I was like "ok I understand the thing, now move on please". Also, the gameplay diversity is very poor. It's basically explore, find stuff and fight, over and again.

    To be short : the game is incredible, very heartbreaking, but quite too long and repetitive.
    But it was an unique experience.    … Expand

Yes, a lot of bloody, sweat and crunch was sacrificed at the altar to create this game but shady development practices aside, the quality is unmatched. Mechanically, it is perfect. Where it falters is in the chronology of its narrative. I understand why it is ordered the way it is but it ultimately puts too much emphasis on the rare interactions between its opposing protagonists. We get it, revenge doesn't get you anywhere. That point is made relatively soon in the story but it continues to hammer the same nail right up to the end and it is emotionally exhausting. The story is brilliant in principle. Characters behave in manners true to themselves and the performances are phenomenal. But there are no moments of catharsis like there were in the original TLOU. Instead it is a sequence of actions, taken in the name of hatred that, little-by-little destroy the character taking those actions. Every Act with Ellie ends with her reaching a new rock bottom and it is so oppressively depressing.

    Ultimately I have scored this game from a technical perspective. It is a marvel to see running on a PS4, the gameplay is thrilling and I was invested in the story. Yet I must add, I did not enjoy playing TLOU2 because of how it made me feel. The ending is so hopelessly miserable that I googled whether there was a secret ending that I missed. You spend 30 hours descending into this story of misery to find there really is no light at the end of the tunnel, just more misery. It's horrible and really shouldn't be played by anyone whose emotions are easily affected by watching their favourite TV show, or reading their favourite book. You'll get invested in these well-rounded characters and catch some severe depression as you experience what happens to them.    … Expand

I think their story should have ended with the first game. Even though, i'm really thankful Ellie shows up in the second part, not because of her, but because thanks to her, i've been able to experience the conflict between her and Abby. And here comes my favourite part of the game... Abby. I really felt her and her conflict. Yeah, she's also looking for vengeance and she finally gets it, but she is much more than that and she makes a long journey for redemption. At the final part of the game i felt so bad for playing Ellie and going after Abby to kill her that i almost have prefered Ellie to die.ELLIE. A character i've loved from the moment i saw her.

Лично я впервые с консолью познакомился именно на TLOU 2 и заявляю, что не столкнулся с какими-то невообразимыми трудностями сложности геймплея. И если вы все же возьмёте и пройдёте игру на Survivor'е, то тут вы познакомитесь и с захватывающими схватками, где вам в придётся использовать всё, что попадает под руку, дабы пережить бой; и с проработанным до мелочей стелсом, где вам надо будет использовать всю вашу смекалку, чтобы незамеченным пройти на следующую локацию; и с отличной прокачкой оружия и навыков, которая и бонусом наградит, и игровой процесс преобразит.
    Плюсом, за всю игру я не встретился ни с одним багом. Здесь отдельный респект для Naughty Dog.
    Теперь пару слов про сюжет и идейность проекта. Сюжетом я доволен. История очень выразительная и эмоциональная. Но в тоже время я столкнулся с некоторыми нелогичностями в сюжете, которые меня огорчили. И честно сказать, я не хочу их обсуждать. Но факт остается фактом, эти эпизоды нелогичности все еще есть в игре, и думаю вас они тоже разочаруют. Но эти эпизоды кажутся совсем незначительными, если сравнивать их со стержнем сюжета - историей о мести. Я обожаю финал The last of us part two, он великолепен и дарит те эмоции, которые я даже не думал испытать.
    В итоге, я очень люблю эту игру, но десятку я ей не дам, так как она не идеал сюжетной игры. Но TLOU 2 очень близка к этому идеалу и поэтому 9/10.    … Expand

    Controversial story, especially for those who played the first game, but if you consider this is still a game not movie or book, it is pretty good. Gameplay is still very enjoyable, but it seems to be a little bit repetitive comparative to first game. And a little bit too much walking from wall to wall :).

    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.
