    The story is garbage. Naughty Dog is a great company, but they deceived us with fakes in trailers and Druckmann lied when he said that Ellie would be the only playable character.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es una maravilla conocer la historia de en este caso 2 protagonistas como lo es ellie y abby que lo perdieron todo incluso lo que mas amaban como sus padres ya que ellie consideraba a johel como un padre ponernos en la piel de las 2 y ver todo lo que pasaron nos hace ver dos perspectivas aunque como amantes de la saga preferimos a ellie por el cariño que le tenemos. Respecto a la venganza me parece bien que ellie trate de matar a la persona que le arrebato lo que mas queria es doloroso incluso para nosotros de jugadores ver la muerte de johel vamos es johel pero fue una buena decicion para que la historia continuara el proposito de la venganza auque las cosas se fueron tornando no todo surge tal como lo tienes previsto no todo lo es este objetivo de solo vengarse y sentirse bien esto va mas alla. Ellie no fue la mejor con johel en muchas ocaciones como lo fue en la ultima platica que tuvieron ellie no podia perdonar a johel por lo que hiso sabiendo johel que lo qie hiso no fue del todo correcto las cosas traen consecuencias como lo es la relacion de ellie con johel talves si no hubieran peleado entre ellos esa noche despues de la fiesta ellie no sintiera el dolor de nisiquiera perdonar a la persona que mas queria arrebatarle esa oprotunidad a ellie de perdonarlo es lo que motiva a elllie a matar a abby. dos personas buscando el mismo objetivo en un inicio.Ellie sintio en ultimo momento que al final no era lo correcto matar a abby rompio ese ciclo de venganza. Perdonando a johel por medio de Abby. Algo que no pide hacer mediante Johel. Triste ya que es una historia con un sabor Agridulce que noa deja ver la realidad de hasta situaciones tan simples como morir y perdona… Expand

    Gran Juego, una obra de arte. Totalmente recomendable para jugarlo y rejugarlo, tiene una jugabilidad, ambiente, gráficos y música perfectos. El principal problema puede caer en la historia que hay que recalcar es buena más no perfecta. Un gran juego con una historia muy cruel para el jugador.

Start with the positives: the attention to detail, the graphics and the environments are fantastic. It had so much promise, but this is overshadowed by a cliched story of revenge. I’ll leave the spoilers to others. But in general terms, the plot is contrived, the beloved characters do not act In a way consistent with the first game, and the new characters are unlikeable despite the game’s best efforts to make you empathise with them (one in particular). The story does have some good moments (most in the first couple of hours), but after that it becomes clichéd with a mixed bag of dialog. The game desperately wants to preach the message ‘revenge is bad’ but it does so by forcing characters (and often the player) to do inexplicably bad things, then scolds you for what the game has either done or forced you to do. With very little choice for the player, why should I take ownership of the message? Just cheap, clumsy writing. In summary, the technical achievements of this game are wasted on what just seems like brutality porn with a poor story that has neither respect for It’s predecessor nor its characters. Shocking for the sake of being shocking and ultimately very disappointing for something I’ve waited seven years for.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. He terminado el juego y pienso que cumple con las expectativas que se tenían de el ,si bien muchos no estamos de acuerdo de cómo murió Joel,creo que es algo que tenía que haber pasado debido a las acciones del mismo en el pasado,sinceramente llegue a sentir empatía jugando la campaña de Abby,hasta tal punto en que cuando Ellie se enfrenta a ella en la playa no me dieron ganas de asesinarl.
    A mi parecer la historia del videojuego tiene un buen balance entre momentos de tensión y tranquilidad,ni se diga de los gráficos.
    En cuanto a la sexualidad de los personajes,desde el primer juego se sabía que Ellie era lesbiana,así como Bill era homosexual,no veo una razón por la cual la gente se queja de ese aspecto.

    I'm French so sorry in advance for spelling mistakes. I wanted to rate the game because I find that the bad grades are totally unjustified. First of all, I would like to point out that the workload that the game staff is undergoing and all the policies around it are really not liveable and it was worth mentioning. But is Naughty Dogs the only studio to do this? Have we boycotted Red DeadI'm French so sorry in advance for spelling mistakes. I wanted to rate the game because I find that the bad grades are totally unjustified. First of all, I would like to point out that the workload that the game staff is undergoing and all the policies around it are really not liveable and it was worth mentioning. But is Naughty Dogs the only studio to do this? Have we boycotted Red Dead 2?

    Then those who then note that they do not have Ps4 and that they are raging or that they think that the game claims a cause more than another you are missing the plate. We judge a game for its swimming, its gameplay, its characters. Do not take things out of their contexts.

    The Last of Us is for me the best game I have ever played. The studio wanted to do more than a video game by questioning themes that mark us. They did it.
    I find the characters more worked than most films or series as they are human. We feel their faults but we understand them.

    Level of the scenario I am not a fan of the event which takes place after 2 hours of play and of the narrative choice of the second part.

    But The Last Of Us II wants to be realistic. And it REALLY is. I think that's what's bothering. The death of the characters is trivial because no one in a world like that of the game is.
    No hero is invincible, and no one in the game is a hero. No choice is fundamentally bad because they are just SURVIVORS.
    The music is very little present, which accentuates its presence during emotional moments. I think it's wanted from the studio.
    The gameplay is similar to the first, quite repetitive at times but for a game of thirty hours I never got bored. The AI ​​in the game is impressive, varying according to the difficulty chosen. There are a multitude of possible choices for apprehending gunfights. Human enemies by their movements, the communication they have with each other seem really alive.

    The game clearly has horrific sides. There are many jumpscares. I am not really a fan because it does not serve the plot but maybe the player can be surprised? Idk, in short. The weapons are cool, the landscapes are very varied and magnificent. The light is sumptuous whether it is the rain, the reflections of water, the reflections of the sun which expresses hope last the whole game. We explore new areas, some parts of which have remained intact which strengthens the world depicted. At the end, we can ask ourselves only one question: what should we have done in place of the characters? More than a story of revenge, TLOU challenges the eternal circle of revenge. The metaphor around the guitar is beautiful and full of meaning. There is so much to talk about in this game. I think this is one of the best games of its generation. Films or TV series should clearly be inspired by it. TLOU gives the characters such a great deal of humanity that it is said that everything is gray and not white or black. In addition, I salute the fact that the characters' sexuality is never put in the foreground. It’s just a fact and it’s not a character trait, it changes NOTHING. I hope TLOU 2 will get the artistic recognition (and not only in the video game field!) That it deserves. Just like a film we may or may not enjoy the story, like or not like the way it is told, but as a simple video game there is no shortage! (except for objectivity, the repetition of "I have to go to point A to point B" but although the content is not always ingenious, the form fills with poetry, humanity is always !! !) the th    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a person that is open minded on just about everything in the gaming and reality...this game gave no justice to the previous. Naughty dog just **** over Joel, the same person that never trusted anyone , to the point that he had to run over some guy due to his experience that one no one can be trusted. The same guy that was a smuggler and did unspeakable thing for 20 years since the pandemic. To killing him off in just 30 minutes and then want to encourage sympathy on the person that murdered him for 10 hours that is messed up... the entire game was misleading, just like the false advertisements on the trailers. In the end we didn’t get revenge **** ass Abby. Naughty Dog had one job and they **** it over and left us high and dry. I was a fan of the first part, just like manny spat on Joel, Naughty Dog spat on us. Don’t even buy the game, you will just be disappointed.… Expand

    This game makes you feel like everything you have done was for nothing. There is no reward, or sense of enjoyment, you are just moving along through a story that you don't feel engaged with, because all the elements you cared about were replaced with whathever fitted the developers agenda, and rhe end of the gameyou just feel empty and feeling you wasted your time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, I'll explain why this game is awful (in my opinion). First problem is characters. No character development, no understandable motivation. It doesnt matter if Joel killed or not. It matters how he was killed. Just rush-in storyline, without any expectations. And it is not that Joel that we know from part 1. Same thing i can say bout Ellie. She just became bipolar girl with no logic in her moves. Dina - was deleted too early. Jessie - I dunno waht to say.. Just killed... Without any character explanation. Ebby - idk, maybe some people liked to play as her, but for me it was 10 hours of misery. I just aint wanna to play as that character even if Druckman shows us story bout her humanity, like saving zebras or dogs. Ebbie team is also awful, cmn, 8-month pregnant girl, best doctor in the camp, just went killing zombies and other guys.

    I can't give this game any higher because the utterly poor story writing destroys the atmosphere I had built by the time I reached the end of the prologue. Beloved characters with deep personalities and backgrounds built up by the first game were utterly disrespected and deliberately written in a way that made them perform completely out of character solely to be used as a plot device and discarded for the sake of a new plot and new characters to be forced in too quickly. Many of the new characters are shallowly built with bare minimum character development. I have very little sympathy with the new protagonist because of the way they were introduced especially and they continue to act in a way that in no way makes me empathetic with thier cause, no matter what happens to thier companions, they just come across as a psychopath to me. I understand the message the game wants me to see but it ends up unbalanced and lost in a convoluted plot. The eventual climax and ending of the game is left poorly resolved and unsatisfying, no doubt to keep the story open to a third installment. Had it been layed out differently with some changes, this story could have had the potential to be enjoyable and impactful, but it just felt like a long miserable slog. Being a huge fan of the first game and having high hopes for a game that hopefully continued the development and relationships of our most beloved characters I was shocked by this game and tried my best to give it a chance to redeem itself with good reasoning, but it's heartbreaking to wait so long for a sequel and have it turn out so bad. I'll unlikely play this game again and mostly disregard it, and just return to playing the first for yet another time.    … 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.
