    Pienso que el juego tiene un punto positivo en sus mecanicas jugables y aspecto gráfico, pero la historia y el guión hacen que parezca una novela de producción barata, es triste que se tome un juego para plasmar posiciones radicales personales.

    For me it is GOTY 2020.
    In today`s open words with representative quests and micro transactions, this game is unicorn.
    I do not understand hate around this game. People, are you ok ? This game with beautiful deep story, this game with start and finish, without shop for skins, weapon and boosters. We have to support such games. Naughty Dog, you are the best.,

    El juego no es de 10, es un 9.5 pero como hay mucho gilipollas que ha votado con un 1 o un 0 solo para joder sin ni siquiera haber jugado o porque no le gusta los temas que trata, pues le cae un 10 para igualar media.

    Last but not least, the story. I think that like any video game the story has its positive and negative things, but without a doubt the most remarkable thing from my point of view is how heartbreaking and raw it becomes, which is perhaps one of the reasons why so many criticisms of the game.    … Expand

    Graphics and game play are top notch for any PS4 game out there. Very little bugs, only a couple that were visual that had no impact on gameplay.

This game does have a very deep customization/accessibility settings menu that I appreciate, even a FOV slider which is important because the default FOV is way too small, but that is an easy fix.

    The story I don't see why there is so much hate from everyone against it, I enjoyed it, not quite as much as tlou1. I do think it dragged on slightly too long, at the least the last 5 hours or so and went back and forth in it's revenge plot one too many times. There were two flashback sequences that just involved too much walking around and talking I found particularly boring at times as well. Overall it was worth the $80 I paid.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Impressive ...

    I waited 7 years for this game and it was all I've ever waited for. Every detail of every inch of the game is perfectly made, every move of Ellie and Abby is so realistic, in combat and when they're just walking or crawling, also every wolf, scar, runner, clicker, etc. is a unique character, with a name and with a sense of where he is standing and the people around him, they even piss off when you kill their dog; when you kill them you can see where the bullet went through, remove extremities or see half bodies after you blow them with exploding arrows or mines. Playing this game has changed everything I've known about single player campaign, which was tough after ND's Uncharted 4.

    The story played with my emotions so much, although the first part began with Joel's past and how he got to be the man who meets Ellie, when we play as Joel we get to see the bond growing because of the attachment we get towards Ellie and how in just one year he radder save her than the entire human race (kinda like the ethic debate about the train going for one or ten persons), whom we watch how his skull is smashed right in our eyes (Ellie's eyes), by a woman that then I have to play with further un the game. This is spectacular in two ways, starting with the idea of Abby, where they work in this grey personality, not black and white, that nobody should be judged as the "good guy" or "bad guy". Second, and most important, Joel made the decision of whipping a hole group of people to save Ellie (beautiful to think about because there's an argue in the game about Ellie saying she wanted her life to matter, but to Joel Ellie's life mattered more than anyone else's), this makes Abby be obsessed about finding and killing him, which she does, making now Ellie go after her. This is pretty basic, but here's the magic of the game, the path Ellie follows for revenge is dark, torturing and killing, including a pregnant woman, they use Joel flashbacks to make you feel her pain, but every crappy act she makes we can see how she's losing to the anger and not being herself (we can see in a fragment of her journal saying "Seattle still hunts me", not regarding Abby, but her own acts), after the theater scene it seemed like it was over, but the game continues to a perfect end. When Ellie is fighting Abby, just about to kill her, two things happen, we see a Joel flashback in a "is this what he'd want?" kinda way and, more importantly, Joel killed to save Ellie, Abby killed in revenge and Ellie was about to do the same, maybe the Lev was going to seek revenge against Ellie, but she stopped, she ended the Talion law, she put and end to the dark path she was going, which left horrible consequences like Tommy's leaving Maria and Dina leaving the farm and life with Ellie, she even lost the ability to play guitar.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the most mixed feelings review I will ever write in my life and also the saddest.

    I had great expectations for TLOU 2, we all had, and after playing it I felt like it was a good game but there was something off. After reading many reviews, opinions and facts about the game, my mindset changed.

    First of all, failing to maintain character. Not in living hell Joel would trust a large group of strangers out of nowhere, standing in the middle of a room surrounded by said group and even going out to say his name. This is unacceptable, that's not Joel and if ND wanted Joel dead then they should have spent more time thinking on how they could create this death into the game, it's just a lack of creativity or maybe they're just lazy when it comes to killing on of the most beloved character of the entire gaming culture.

    In second we need to talk about Abby, you can call me homophobic or whatever you want but her looks feel too forced, the character development feels forced and ND tried it's best efforts to make us like her. In the end she becomes the thing she swore to destroy, she becomes kinda like Joel considering her actions towards the end but obviously we won't like her because she killed the character we LOVED and this is a very important aspect. To clarify, I accept Joel's death but like this makes it hard for a person to even enjoy the game since every time we see Joel sadness takes over us even during that super cute scene in Ellie's birthday.

    Next point, Ellie and Tommy. Ellie is an amazing character, love her from the bottom of my heart and after everything she went through it doesn't make sense her leaving Abby alive. ND makes the game in a way so that you see Ellie and Joel as the bad guys but when you weigh the character's actions Abby and her father aren't that better if not worse than Joel, I'll talk about this later. Now Tommy feels like he was under-used, low amount of screen time when in Joel's absence he could have been the one to save the game's story and his high moment was when he killed Manny, too bad we were playing as Abby for the last 5 hours though and too bad he didn't get to hit her too. Only Tommy stood true to his word when my expectation was to be Ellie the one who would carry the vengeance until the end. Just look at RDR2 revenge type of story, it's a much better one and if in the end Micah would have been forgiven people would be pissed just like people are pissed with TLOU 2.

    Back to Abby's father, since in The Last of Us' universe the infection is fungi based a vaccine is the dumbest of ideas. A vaccine will only prevent people from getting infected and not save the infected ones, also they can still die if a bite injury is too severe. The first thing you would do with Ellie would be taking a bit of her blood and study her white cells to see what was different on her immune system that that was able to combat the infection. After that you could possibly develop a medicine to fight the fungus and help people before they turn into a runner. This seems a much better option than killing an unconscious 14 year old girl without her consent. This also means, Joel's decision in the end of the first game doesn't mean anything, in fact he might have saved the world by keeping Ellie alive.

    We need to admit, Neil Druckmann messed it all up and failed to deliver the game the people who waited 7 years wanted so much. I have depression (according to professionals, I don't think so) and I looked at this game as my 2020 savior and well it just made my year worse because the game is quite literally a depressing deception.

    5/5 - Graphics, Detail, Mechanics & Gameplay
    2/5 - Story

    Thank you for reading my review and I hope I convinced you why this is both the best and the worse game of the PS4.

    EDIT: Forgot to add that it's kinda sad the only new character that was well developed (minimally) got killed by Abby too, this character being Jesse. Makes me wanna cry so hard.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay was amazing, just as it always was, with some new upgrades, weapons and skills (though not really too necessary).

    Let’s be honest though - we waited for this game with the highest expectations because the first was amazing and riveting and heartfelt and passionate and brave - and ultimately, about building family without blood, and love without condition. And through the initial story we learn to appreciate the little things of beauty in this messed up world... In huge contrast to The Last of Us 2 - the story made me feel bad playing it. I was absolutely miserable in the second half of the game and frankly I stopped right after Ellie set off for her final show down. I ended up just watching the spoilers, because that’s how upsetting it was to have come this far not knowing who the hell I was controlling anymore.

    #NotMYEllie And on top of it all, Joel... my hero, the hero. The humanity. All of it crushed in by a buff chick I have no sympathy for... They may as well have forced me to club him to death at the beginning with my own square button - and I should have known right then, that I was not going to find any fun, any hope nor any consolation in finishing this game after buying it.

    Absolutely baddddd story telling. The only thing that made this game worth 4 stars rather than less, was the gameplay itself, the guitar functions and the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie, especially on her birthday. Otherwise, this game is smack in the face to its faithful fans and followers. How dare you? You should have just made the Last of Us, the LAST game in this story period - if this was all you could come up with. This is not what we wanted. Next time just ask us...    … Expand

You play to get to your revenge against this girl who killed you father figure only to not exact that revenge. The main issue is these characters are written out of character only to push a feminist agenda. The game play is about the same except the jump button. Who cares. It really does nothing.

The main character of the first game is completely dismantled and re-written as a garbage person, they made up a contrived way to kill him off, then you play as his murderer. The cast of this game is completely forgettable, dies fast and 10 hours later the game reminds you of them once so you can feel bad that you killed them. Its a completely unstructured mess that deserves all the hate and it did not understand why the first game resonated with so many people.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic game! You NEED to play both as Abby and Ellie to fully understand the main message of the game; Cycle Of Revenge. When Joel kills Abby’s father and then she kills Joel then it forces Ellie to go after Abby. This cycle would go on forever if Ellie killed Abby. Ellie thought about Joel and realized that she needed to stop this cycle. She lets Abby live, which would make no sense if we only saw the game from the point of view of Ellie. This only makes sense because we see the consequences of killing in both Abby’s story and Ellie’s. I loved all the guitar parts literally my favourite parts of the entire game and the gameplay is fantastic. Story may not be what you want, but instead what it needs to be. Sorry not sorry... overall good game but the way they killed Joel just makes me super sad and I really did hate playing as Abby but I understand that it was necessary. For those reasons, 8/10.… 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.
