    Una maravilla de juego es the last of us part 2 The last of us es una saga donde sus historias te involucran sentimentalmente así como fue en la 1ra entrega, así mismo lo hace esta historia de venganza donde todas las acciones de ellie y Joel tienen consecuencias.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm concerned by the reverse review bombing inflating this game with 10s and well as the normal review bombing giving it 0s, so I decided to create an account to give a fair review.

    I'll sort the game into positives and negatives and give it a score based on that.

    Positives
    Excellent graphics. It has indisputably some of the best graphics of the current generation,
    Limited bugs. Yeah, this is a major positive to me, in an era where releasing a buggy mess and fixing it post launch is the norm.
    Fun Gameplay. It might be generic, but it's also fairly fun and not broken.

    Negatives.

    The story is poor at best.

    The game takes odd stances. Ellie faces a small amount of bigotry, refuses food during a post apocalypse scenario where food would be difficult to get and the particular type of food would be near impossible. This, while it would appeal to people today is incredibly stupid post apocalypse.
    Combine that with the fact that she can forgive the person who murdered her father figure and who had killed her friends throughout the game makes it feel like it's just for the player, in the way that old terrible games or shows would stop mid-moment to go "and this is bad" directly at the watcher.

    The gameplay, while fun, is generic. I've included this on both positive and negative because it really is a bit of both depending on what you go into the game for.

    Racism. This one is a bit of an odd one, to be sure. But it's also true. Abby's dad? The scientist killed in the first game? He was black. Then 2 came out and suddenly he's white.

    And finally, and this is subjective, Neil Druckmann's self references that are throughout the game from the card to the favourable place in the starting credits and more, feels self-congratulatory instead of tongue in cheek.

    Before the score, I'll elaborate on the story being poor.

    It tries to convince people of the message that revenge is bad, but it does so incredibly poorly. The character who gets revenge gets all the traditional story framing for this character is good and even gets rewards for it.

    The character who gives up on revenge goes through pretty much every over the top traditional way to say this character is irredeemably evil, kills a lot of people and then decides to give up on revenge at the very end. It's both out of character for the character they force you to build and causes the message to be mixed because instead of it all saying revenge is bad, the only way to remain a good person instead of a caricature of yourself is to move on?

    It says revenge is bad except when it isn't.

    Finally, onto the score. I'll start with 5 and then give and remove points based on the positives and negatives and what they mean to me.

    Good Graphics, +1 = 6.
    Limited Bugs. +2 = 8
    Fun Gameplay +2 =10.
    Poor Story with mixed messages -4 = 6
    Odd Stances -1 =5
    Generic Gameplay -1 =4
    Racism -2 =2.
    Potential self-congratulatism -0 =2

    If the last wasn't potential it's be -1 but it's subjective so -0.
    With all this in mind, my score has to be 2.    … Expand

Totalmente falso. Se sabe del lesbianismo de Ellie desde el spin off. Allí nadie se quejó, porque la trama estaba bien llevada y cuadraba con la historia. Lo que resulta irritante de esta segunda parte, es cuando en post de introducir ciertos elementos, las líneas argumentales se vuelven caprichosas y se deteriora la astucia del guión, subestimando al consumidor. Esas cosas se notan y el problema no es que dejen "tal o cual mensaje", el problema es que contaminan el valor artístico de la historia original, porque todo se ve forzado.
    Pero ésta critica es solo si nos limitamos a hablar del aspecto "ideológico" (? del juego. Porque por fuera de esa temática, el guión no le hace justicia a los graficos, a la cinematografia, ni a los personajes.
    Podría estar señalando un montón de cuestiones específicas, pero voy a decir la principal razón por la que The Last of Us II es decepcionante: retoman una historia que fue hermosa, llena de amor y esperanza, para destruir el corazón de sus personajes, volcandolos a un destino inmerecido, sufriente, insatisfactorio, en que las adversidades lejos de ser enmendadas, arrastran a todos más en el dolor y las desgracias y para quienes queremos a Joel y a Elli, es hiriente.    … Expand

The story of the relationship between these two people, so marked by personal tragedies (his, the death of his daughter on the night of the outbreak that started the collapse of civilization; hers, a tragic loss followed by the discovery of being the only known human immune to cordyceps), it was the work that elevated Naughty Dog to the pantheon of great game character developers, and the reason why the sequel is so awaited.

    loved it. the world is brutal and ruled by sociopaths and those desperate to survive. This is the only way it could have ended without doing a disservice to the mythology. It's a technical masterpiece that begs people to look outside their comfort zone and outside their perspective, an increasingly challenging request these days. Bravo Naughty Dog Team

    There is no information on Abby. Abby kill Joel and we need to control Abby at all. Crazy.
    In addition, why against this game is again lgbt etc. I do not understand. I cannot see these characters are happy at all.

    Es un juego muy simple, tiene huecos argumentativos en la historia un comienzo tosco mostrando y con uno de los peores finales no lo recomiendo mucho ya que el fuerte de the last of us la primera y asta el DLC era la historia que nos cautivo, para mí seguidor de juegos de play diría que fue uno de los peores errores tirarse este juego

    Sadly, this sequel is a poorly written revenge story, which tries force its message down you throat, too which it becomes cringe worthy. They try to introduce new characters, but fails miserably in giving them any depth.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The mechanics of the game are very good as in the first, the inclusion of a jump button, in my opinion, is very useful, and the graphics are very good, they are the most polished in this instalment.
    The story, in my opinion, is not excellent, but it is good, it serves to guide us to what Naughty Dog wants to tell us, well-argued and structured, although what happens in the end with Abby makes the path we forge in the game with Ellie be A waste, but perhaps it serves because Ellie sees that this is not the way to go to find what she wants, Joel's forgiveness; On the other hand, in Abby's part, inclusion is the least important, it serves the same argument, for better or for worse it works, the story at the beginning is a story of revenge on the part of Abby, after Abby's redemption and the revenge of Ellie, and in the end, it's Ellie's redemption and something else for Abby.
    It is not at all like TLoU first part because here we no longer protect something, we do not look for hope, all that was left behind here we lost Joel, the one who in the first game was rude, the one for good or evil except Ellie from dying and He gave him a life to live, and Ellie in TLoU Part II realizes all that, wants it and wants everything that happened to be in the past, but with Joel's death, she realizes that she loved him so much that she didn't no matter what he did, he would go to the end of the world for him, and so part two is not the same as the first, because he develops more the character of an Ellie going through adolescence, having a different life than he had, to many they don't like the story and it's fine, but if you haven't played it, I invite you to do it, the criticisms are made by people who have the opportunity to do it, although some have played it, I bet there are many who haven't played or finished it to play and they criticize, that's the good thing about free will you can do what you want, s only that will you be willing?    … Expand

This game taught me, and it should have taught many that life is important to everyone, not only our lives are important, but also the lives of other people are important. Whether they are good or bad, it does not matter, it also happens in the game that the side of Abby, that side of Ellie have the reverse side of the coin. The first part of the game told us about communication, and the second about gray morality, about life's difficulties, but there is no Joel, but Ellie herself must go through these difficulties. And that cruelty in the game shows all the anger and thirst for revenge of this game. And what the Naughty Dog studio did deserves respect, even if there are cons in the game, but a titanic work is felt. Let's thank the studio for such work.… Expand

The graphics are some of the best I've seen, combat is fresh with new things like silenced weapons and crossbows along with new infected types to match. The story at time is lacking but on the same breath wins your heart over with the Elie & Dina relationship. The game lives up well to its predecessor.

    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.
