    Objetivamente el juego es una maravilla y ha conseguido removerme por dentro más que ningún videojuego, película o libro. Para bien o para mal, va a ser inolvidable, y desde luego no comparto que le estén poniendo notas tan bajas; merece más aunque solo sea por valorar el trabajo que han puesto en cada detalle.

    Dicho esto, la verdad es que para mí ha sido una decepción en gran parte, y no puedo decir que lo haya disfrutado al cien por cien porque no es para nada lo que quería de este juego. El primer The last of us ha sido muy importante en mi vida por diferentes motivos, y ha sido muy duro ver cómo han continuado esa historia tan especial de una forma tan innecesariamente oscura y deprimente.

    Respeto lo que han decidido contar y aprecio todo lo bueno que tiene el juego, que es mucho, pero no puedo evitar pensar en lo que pudo haber sido y no fue. The last of us es la relación de Ellie y Joel, y sin ellos la saga no tiene el mismo interés, por mucho que quieran meter nuevos personajes con calzador. Para mí hubiese sido perfecto si todo el juego siguiera el camino de los flashbacks. Menos impactante, menos valiente, y sin un mensaje tan profundo... Pero nos hubiese hecho felices a mucha gente.    … Expand

Un excelente juego, gráficas impresionantes, historia verdaderamente envolvente, sus personajes son carismáticos y a la vez detestables, ademas dentro de su historia rica en novedad e impredecibles sucesos, deja al espectador con mucha adrenalina y mucho suspenso. The last of us es simplemente hermoso!!!… Expand

I respect if you are negative against the game we all have our differences. However there are many reasons I think the game is great, one of them being that despite over characters in the game being killed so quickly and that Ellie doesn’t have enough time to pay attention - was think of yourself in this situation and it equals up. People will complain about character development whilst there isn’t much it makes a bit sense as Ellie has already spent about 5 years with them it wouldn’t really make sense for such character development as it isn’t really necessary. Now the ending despite if you hate it or love it, it all is so real and makes sense. Ellie after killing almost all of Abby’s friends as finally got the chance to kill Abby but what is the point why do it why Abby had a reason to kill Joel but most importantly will killing Abby bring Joel back of course not, Ellie seems to have had enough killing and is done for now. If you imagine yourself at this situation you would have more likely done the same thing. Now onto the gameplay I am glad that most of the gameplay is similar to the first game because that system is perfect however has some really good improvements now such as being able to craft more supplies to use in battle but also to improve the way you play through using supplements for a variety of stuff. The guns in this game are also so fun and enjoyable I never ended only using one gun for a encounter. Being able to use a rope to access places which we wouldn’t be able to do without is amazing, and the prime feature is just so useful and so realistic. The graphics is this game are top notch; one of the best games to perfect graphics so far not only that but the way your clothes will change depending on what environment you are in and where you land. Your bullets can be seen having different effects and sounds on what they are hitting like I don’t see this in any other game. Also I forgot to mention the small boss fights which are really nice and interesting to do it makes your heart beat especially on the harder difficulty’s. The dodging system is extremely useful and so cool it make me feel like in a movie or in a situation in real life. Sorry if i missed any stuff. One to the accessibility options I am so glad and appreciate the fact they made these so many people can experience the game whichever way they would like even if they are slightly blind or deaf. Thank you Naughty Dog. Now finally Joel dying had a huge effect on me it cause me depression for several days and still it whilst writing this. Never would I have thought a video game would have such a effect on me. Truly sad Joel died but hopefully we will soon see him in a DLC. If anyone from Naughty Dog ends up reading this - Thank you and keep up the amazing work.… Expand

    The gameplay is just phenomenonal, the map gives you the feel of an open-world and there is a lot of things to explore. The environment and the ways you can react with objects is really good too.
    It really sucks that there were leaks and that helped the game get even more hate. I personally loved it and it's more than i could have asked for. Congratulations to Naughty Dog for making this masterpiece!    … Expand

    As a fan of The Last of Us, I personally really enjoyed the direction the writers went with this game. I honestly think it's ridiculous how much negativity this game is receiving. I especially think this game is receiving unfair negative reviews from honestly, homophobes.

I honestly think it's ridiculous how much negativity this game is receiving. I especially think this game is receiving unfair negative reviews from honestly, homophobes.

    The gameplay is genuinely superb. There wasn't a moment where I felt fully captivated in each encounter and had a variety of options to approach. The combat system is great and provides even a small-thrilling challenge even on moderate. No game is really enjoyable if you can go through the whole game with barely a scratch.
    There were moments where I got jumped by scares and felt anxious to press forward. I loved the thrill the game provided. Most of all the game provided fluid close quarter combat. I found this to be one of the game's best new mechanics. Being able to dodge melee enemies and counter attack felt really fluid and fun. The game provides you with enough creativity when approaching different groups of hostiles.

    The story was captivating from beginning to end. In contrast to most user reviews, I grew emotionally attached to the characters. I personally was satisfied, yet unsatisfied with the ending (but in a good way). With the way the game unfolds and plays out, I felt like Naughty Dog took the best approach to end the game. I felt quite similar to the first game's ending. The characters have a lot of depth and growth as the game progresses. I found the direction of the story to be great! It was unorthodox, in that it sowed the present and past to tell a great emotional story.

    Despite what other reviews say, this game deserves the score that Naughty Dog worked so hard for. 10/10. I genuinely am saddened by the negativity user's are giving it just because the story may have not gone the way they wanted it to. Especially the negative reviews that are bashing the game solely because it contains a homosexual couple. I’m also under the impression that a lot of people who reviewed the game also didn’t finish the game. I felt like it was an authentic aspect with the characters, in no way did it feel forced. Most user reviews act like the writers pooped the bed and just developed a "fund-raiser" game. I think Naughty Dog did a phenomenal job. No game is perfect and will satisfy you in every way, but this game was extremely enjoyable and gave me a lot to think about when I wasn't playing.

    This game definitely deserves your attention and a full play through. Do I think this game is perfect? No. However, I do think this game deserves the high score with all of its production qualities, story telling mechanics, and enjoyable gameplay. I very much enjoyed this game and would put this in my PS4/Xbox One generation top 3!    … Expand

    Absolutely fantastic game. The story is better in the first one, but this still has a great story and it is told well. Not a perfect game, but all my complaints are small and nitpicky, nothing to drop a point. The details in the game are amazing, so many unique assets make every room feel unique. Definitely well worth playing.

    I give it 1 star for the graphichs, because that is how much that matters in this day and age, where almost every game has fine graphics. The rest of the game is a trainwreck, from the world building to mechanics. Playing this game i really do hope this is the last "Last of Us".

The story is brilliantly created to make you feel upset but also have just joy and love for the characters. I've never done a review here before as I think this site is trash.

I loved the first game so much and to ruin such a powerful game with part 2 is a tragedy. I don’t care that people say it’s their game they can make it how they want, NO. It’s for the fans and to kill off Joel with no meaning whatsoever is sickening. Yes he was a bad guy, but who cares we loved the first one for His and Ellie’s relationship. NO ONE CARES about a new character that you wanted to add. This game virtually has no replay value, I don’t ever want to believe this game and story is real. Like it make me want to quit gaming all together because I was looking forward to another impactful emotional story that involved Joel and Ellie. Nothing about this is fun. They think how unique and out of the box they were while making this game, but you destroyed a franchise. Regardless of how much money they make and how much critics rave about the game you failed the only thing that makes you a game developer and that’s the fans.… 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...
