    it’s just boring to play this game, the story is stretched and this is the main problem, well, this LGBT propaganda during the apocalypse is out of place at all (calling a person a chauvinist at such a time is like telling a dog that she is a dog), but 5 points for the graphics and stylization of the locations, only because of them I suffered this game until the end

    Absolute masterpiece. TLOU.......PART 2, you're right. Superb storytelling. Photorealism graphic. Immensive dialogues. Same gameplay mechanics.

El "must have" reina por encima de lo que se quiere contar (si existe algo que contar) TLOU2 no quiere ser un en realidad un juego o desarrollar una buena historia, es una especie de panfleto que imparte doctrina moral a cascoporro. Y lo hace con la firme convicción de que el jugador no va a darse cuenta de eso y que va a terminar cayendo en su trampa. El "más difícil todavía" a Druckmann se le convirtió en un imposible, literalmente quiso sacarse la chorra con un núcleo nuevo de personajes sin atisbo de carisma, destrozando de manera tendenciosa todas las expectativas creadas a los fans mediante las campañas publicitarias...

    Hay otros estudios que hubiesen incluso matado por contar con una base tan bien construida como franquicia... Bueno, pues Naughty Dog prefiere verla en llamas desde la orilla de una playa...

I really hope that everyone who is feeling like me can caste this game aside as the egotistical fantasy of the main developer and maintain the memory of the first game and all the amazing aspects that made it unbelievably good.

    Apart from the incredible design, this was a betrayal not only of the fans, but of the actors and the original developers, many of whom were not apart of this game as a result of internal politics at Naughty Dog. No wonder it was horribly disconnected from the first game. It is not an incredible world that one can be immersed, lost in a riveting story and provoked to think about difficult aspects of human nature. It is rather a failed attempt at shocking the audience while including unnecessary contemporary politics, which are important in their own right, but feel totally out of place in this game.

    It feels like they have tried to maliciously ruin everything good that players hold in memory. This is purposeful but I believe it is not justified and after 7 years, I highly doubt that they made any attempt to get input from the most important people: the hard core fans, high profile streamers and original creators of the game. As stated above, it feels like a betrayal and a fulfillment of an agenda that is disconnected from everything that could have made this game a worthy sequel.

    One of the most highly anticipated games ever, and also the biggest disappointment in gaming history. The best thing in the game is the music, graphics and the menu options. Everything else is a complete mess. And forces you to play as a character you hate. Never uninstalled a game so fast in my life!

    I just finished the game, but let's get one thing out of the way.. . It has become popular to hate this game. Even before the game got released. I find it very very childish to give a game a zero just because some people don't like it. There are threads on reddit and other places only about telling people to review bomb this game with a zero. How serious is that? So because some peopleI just finished the game, but let's get one thing out of the way.. . It has become popular to hate this game. Even before the game got released.

    The game is about hate and revenge, and everything you do has a consequence. You are going to see that in this game. The way they took this game surprised me, but I actually liked it.
    For me it was fresh and new, seeing things from different views.

    But as Neil Druckmann already said before release. People that loved the first one, may not like part 2, and I guess he was right. This is not a game for everyone, but for the ones it is, it surely is a masterpiece.

    If you just exspect more Joel & Ellie story, do not buy this game. But if you are open minded and want something new compared to the first one, I think you should give it a try. Even if you wait a year or two when its cheaper. It's not the same as watching someone on twitch or youtube. At least not for me..

    As some other user reviewer said. This is not Ellie and Joels story, this is the story about the last of us!

Крайне спорное решение убивать главного героя первой части..И вводить главным героем его убийцу, причем такую.. Это вообще почти никому не понравилось. Зачем её так много?!

Она длинная и насыщенная геймплеем и несмотря на сомнительные решения и все эти левацкие движения рассказывает достаточно интересную и захватывающую историю. Игра не шедевр, но и не провл . Невероятна игра.. Я надеюсь, что они пересмотрят все свои ошибки и сделают следующую игру лучше. Главные минусы: южет Эбби и всяэта пропаганда левая. Naughty Dog, зачем это надо было делать?

    I’m 37 years old and have been gaming for nearly 30 years, I’ve never been more disappointed in a game. Yes the game is beautiful and gameplay is good, but where this falls flat is the story. From forgettable characters to just down right disrespect to others, it’s just a mess.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good afternoon everyone!

    First of all, I would like to say it has been my favourite video game until today. I have finished it this morning. Graphics are incredibly developed to show all the gore acts and landscapes, getting little details inside a semiopened world, perfect for this type of video game where I didn't want a huge map but, at least, a little bigger than the ones used in the last of us 1.

    The different messages used by the director are incredibly polemic and underlined by our today's society unacceptability . We are allways annoyed by any little thing again our point of view and I think this perfect.

    The couple of lesbians, the development of different revenges, friendships, love, lies, growing as human beings, everything showed from a very realistic perspective... One person is not always good but also, he or she is not always bad. That hue of black and white is fantastic, achieved incredible well here.

    Moreover, this video game breaks with the typical formula of having only one group of heros, creating the perspective of the main enemy and I love it. I love it very very very much. Because of that, my favourite character is Abby and not Ellie or other one.

    The story was the last of us and it wasn't Ellie and her daddy.

    I felt really bad the first time I played with Ellie and I saw the death of Joel but, in the end, I understand he was an awful murderer and he deserved to die as he died because of his past actions.

    As I previously said, there aren't a good or bad side and that is incredible.

    You can enter inside a lot of stories, knowing the development of different characters until their deaths. And yeah, it is crazy, everyone dead, but we are in an appocalyptic world and it is almost impossible to live for a long time.

    After the end scene, we will not know if Ellie will live another day or if Abby and Lev will find the fireflights or another violent group. However, that creativity to surprise me and enter inside the feelings of every single character, entering inside the shoes of everyone is brutal for me.

    The playability is increbidly better that it's antecestor. Crawling, with more types of enemys, different types of scenarios adequate to the fight, more difficulty, more objects and weapons, etc.

    Sincerely, I don't understand the amount of bad critics and hatter received by this video game. Of course, this is not the game and the plot that someone will imagine. But that is the point and the beauty of this beast.

    I played the last of us 1 one week before the second one. Because of that, I don't have any type of nostalgya and with that in mind, I mark this video game with a 10 because the first one was a 10 for me and this one is better than the first game without doubt. And why? Because this plot not only touches the story of Joel and Ellie, but that story and other ones like the one of Lev, Abby, the goddes (who I believe she is the mother of Ellie and because of her inmunity she was proclaimed as a god for that community, she is white-skinned and the same colour of hair), wolves mates, lev's family, Isaac, jacksons, etc.

    I want to congratulate nauthydogs for this title and thank them the 35 hours of gameplay in the tough difficulty. I really enjoyed this game and wow, we have to be more humans and this is not a game for ever type of public. Very bloody violent, an adult plot, different from the other ones, without superheros, and with a lot of incredible details and scenes to make you feel the feelings of the characters behind the screen.

    Brutal and Bravo!

    This is a real videogame with all the letters and I will wait for more like this one.

    Thank you naughty dogs, for your late opportunity. I didn't play this videogame and the first one until this month but it was completely worth time.

I like to rate things based on how my money was spent. The $60 spent on this game were certainly worth it with 30 hours, some very fun, and some a bit depressing moments. it made me feel a myriad of emotions, which is already more than a great number of games that truly deserve a sub 5/10 rating are able to deliver. A beautiful game with an amazing soundtrack and decent story. I've definitely spent $60 on games much worse than this one, with only a select few countable on my two hands that are better. Expand

    Great graphics, detailed levels and a great soundtrack. This is where the advantages end. The typical revenge story remains. with one difference, you see it from two different sides. The characters are boring, stereotypical. The plot contains many holes, lack of logic. There is no empathy on the part of the player. The entire potential of the series is destroyed for me.

    Me parece un gran juego, marcando época como lo hizo su primera parte en 2013. Probablemente la primera parte es bastante más redonda que esta segunda, y eso hizo que la gente se subiera al carro de algo que tuvo éxito, y por ello esta mala recepción por parte del público. No es un 10 porque tiene errores, principalmente lo extenso que es. Fácilmente podría durar mínimo 6 horas menos. LaMe parece un gran juego, marcando época como lo hizo su primera parte en 2013.

El resto de cosas son buenas, te meten en una historia agobiantemente buena. El final te deja sin poder pensar en otra cosa durante días, valorando un montón de cosas. No entiendo las notas tan malas. Es evidente que es un buen juego. Te puede gustar más o menos la historia, se podría llevar por otro lado, pero este mundo es así de cruel y lo que ha ocurrido es perfectamente posible. Quizás todos queríamos algo más satisfactorio, pero en The Last of Us todo lo cruel e inhumano tiene cabida. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this game. In my opinion the story was great,the environments were great, characters were great, and the gameplay was the best that I have played in years. A lot of people dont like this game because of the way Joel was killed, but in my opinion it made sense and I was not disappointed in the way Joel died. Many people complained that you had to play as Abby and you were forced to sympathise with her in the second half, I loved this part of the game almost more than playing as Ellie. The second half made me go from hating Abby as a character to actually liking her. Her relationship with Lev reminded me a lot of Joel and Ellies relationship in the first game. I have read many other user reviews for this game and many are making the argument that the game has a political agenda when this is not true. People in real life are lesbian so it would make sense that 2 of the many characters in this game are lesbian, some people are transgender in real life so it would make sense for a single character to also be transgender. In this game the number of straight people is greater than the number of gay/transgender people, just like in the real world. I played the first game when it released in 2013 and thought it was amazing. The Last of Us 1 is still my favorite game of all time and I think that it was slightly better than this game but this game is still a 10 for me. After the games story was leaked I thought that the game would be bad just like most people but I held onto hope that it would be good. I preordered the game and it was worth every penny. I made sure to play the full game first and I played new game plus and the game is better each time I played through it. You can say that this games story is not good or that you dont like the characters but please play the game first before leaving a review. Expand

    The graphics are extremely beautiful for a console game, the gameplay is as good as it was in the first part and the story is actually really great if you don't actively try to hate it, because everyone does it... There were a lot of great, funny, sad, frustrating, etc.

    I have to say that many moments in this game makes you angry or sad because it may not turn out the way you want it, but that's life and you also cannot control the plot of a good movie!

    And if you wrote a bad review because u did not like that Ellie is homosexual and something else that I'm not gonna say because of possible spoiler, than you are just a sexist idiot.. These topics are really relevant in real life and I think that it makes the game even a bit more realistic.

    For me definitely a candidate to be the Game of the Year!

Una segunda parte por la que suspirabamos todos los fans de la excelente primera aventura que vivimos en el lejano ya 2013. El juego tiene muchísimos aspectos muy buenos e inclusos otros excelentes pero la historia que nos quiere contar y la forma en la que lo hace se debe criticar porque atenta contra lo visto en la primera parte y contra los videojuegos en general. Nos encontramos un juego gráficamente espectacular en muchos momentos aunque en algunas zonas se notan las limitaciones de ps4 en algunas texturas. Aun así sin duda uno de los títulos mas potentes gráficamente hablando. Jugablemente es delicioso en muchos momentos aunque la IA sigue siendo mejorable e innova muy poco en mecanicas jugables aunque es muy satisfactorio derrotar a cualquier enemigo. El juego tiene muchos momentos de relleno puro y de tramos que son totalmente insustanciales e ilogicos. La zona de las plantas llenas de infectados del hospital directamente no tiene ningún sentido argumental y otros tramos de la historia se hacen realmente muy pesados. EL juego debería durar 10 horas menos de lo que dura y ser mas directo. Y ahora vamos con el apartado mas pésimo del título y sin duda el mas polémico.
    La historia.
    Aquí nada tiene que ver la raza de alguien o su condición sexual. Esto tiene que ver con la historia que nos quieren contar y de como lo hacen. Fallan estrepitosamente en todo esto.
    Lo primero que chirría con la trama es ver como Joel se fía y salva a una persona como Abby totalmente desconocida y se reúne sin sospechar con un montón de gente que no conoce en medio de un refugio. Es algo que el Joel que recordamos de la primera parte en ningún momento haría. Esto ya es un fallo argumental grave aunque no es el único. Nos quieren obligar en todo momento a que entendamos a Abby y a que le cojamos un cariño que nunca llega. Entiendo su motivación de matar a Joel para obtener su venganza pero lo que no se puede comprender es la manera de hacerlo. Mata a Joel torturándolo en el proceso, sin importarle que Ellie vea la escena sin poder hacer nada. Joel mató a su padre sí pero en ningún momento lo hizo disfrutando ni mucho menos dándole una muerte lenta y dolorosa. Joel hizo lo que hizo para salvar a Ellie, y no habria matado a nadie si le hubiesen dejado llevársela. Abby empieza dandole la peor muerte que se le podia dar a un personaje tan querido como Joel, nos lo arrebatan de una manera infame y queriendo que adoremos y queramos a la culpable. Aparte de todo esto la historia hace aguas en el transcurso de la misma y la resolución final carece de sentido alguno. Nos quieren hacer ver que la venganza no lleva a algun lado y por eso Ellie se arrepiente en el último momento. Pero esto no funciona así. Ellie ha matado a un montón de gente sí pero todos han intentado matarla antes, ella si hubiera podido habría ido a por Abby y de un disparo habria acabado con su venganza. Ellie no es como Abby. Ellie no se venga, solo quiere justicia. Si la historia fuera contada de manera diferente en algunos aspectos y la muerte de Joel fuera distina o simplemente no se hubiera mostrado quizás se habría aceptado mejor a Abby. Nunca lo sabremos.
    Mi nota final es un 5 aunque dan ganas de ponerle menos, es la realidad. Pero debo ser coherente y el juego tiene muchísimos apartados donde es muy bueno e incluso excelente pero la historia en este título es lo más importante y en este caso lo peor que han llevado y ejecutado. Espero que Naughty Dog se reponga de esto y que jamás saquen algo así de nuevo.
    Joel. SIempre estarás con nosotros y tu hueco nunca sera ocupado por Abby.

    The franchise was always about heartbreaking story and I expected way more from it.
    It feels just OK, like very average Assasin's Creed plot, but it is not The Last of Us and I wish it was as good as the physics, gameplay and visuals. Feels empty and doesn't leave you crying.

    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]
