    Siento que la gente se queja de algo que no tiene sentido, es cierto el personaje de Abby no es para nada un buen personaje, pero creo que las mecanicas son excelentes, completamente pulidas, y es un juego que no se corta la lengua al querer contar una historia, cruda, real y lo mas humana posible.

    An Absolute Masterpiece and a beautiful continuation of one of the greatest stories told in modern gaming history. The Last of Us 2 has exceeded my expectations and took me on a rollercoaster of emotions no other game in recent memory has come close to doing. An absolute must-play, this game will go down as one of my favorite games of all time.

However the entire point of the game was a revenge story which led to something else entirely which is why its not perfect and doesn't deserve the must play status.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Game. Difficult choices were made story-wise, it gets to you up to the end of the story. Graphically gorgeous, artistic direction top notch, music, very good, though, I was expecting the sequence from that 2017 trailer with Ellie singing Through the Valley, this never came... Gameplay physics, top of naughty dog, yet, Rockstar games still one step ahead in my opinion especially for the horse ridding (minor part of the gameplay here). A must play for PS4, and with probably a nice remaster on PS5 one year from now, will be enjoyable.… Expand

    In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, shortly after he uttered the words let there be light, and there was light. After a quick smoko God said, “Let there be Naughty Dog”, and alas, the greatest gaming company was created…

    Last of Us part 2 is their magnus opus. The attention to detail is so akin to reality that sometimes I found myself shivering in scenes when manoeuvring through snow, and in others of windy overpasses, my hair swayed sitting in my living room with the windows closed. If I came across an unsettling lake or river of sorts I paused the game to put on a life vest from fear of being unable to pass from one side of the riverbed to the other safely. And this is all from an environment perspective, let us not forget the in-depth detail from the facial expression of the characters and their movements; sometimes when Ellie is looking into the camera with a look so harrowing even the bravest of humans would cower, I find myself running out of the room in tears profusely sweating and apologising to Ellie for the day I was born. By the same token, the natural flow of the conversations between the characters are so lifelike and in-depth that when I was having dinner I catch myself laying out extra plates and cutlery because I was convinced the audio making its way through my headphones must mean there were other people in my home.

    There has been much debate over the story, and I must admit, at first I was shocked in the direction they were going, although this could equally be attributed to my Revlon turbo hair dryer I bought on a hefty discount from an unregistered street vendor last winter short-circuiting.
    The deep love I have for the characters is no different to the love I have for my 7-month year old poodle who this morning thought it was a great idea to mimic the stealth in the game by sneakily and tenderly grabbing my playstation control from its charging dock, whilst I was boarding up the windows to prevent any clickers from getting inside, and attempting to bury it in the yard. Yet what I do know is change is rarely anything but good, it is a constant that is always needed. Look, do not get me wrong, I like watching Shawshank Redemption on repeat just as much as the next guy/gal, but if they made a second one with a very similar storyline, boredom and disappointment would ensue. I believe they did the best they could with the tools at their disposal (not to be confused with it being less than 99.99% amazing). The first game’s story was so original, so poignant, that I doubt something in a similar vein should have been reproduced for a sequel.

    Loved the game. Decent story, great game play, stunning visuals and audio! Hits the message hard (revenge is bad)..while the ending has made most people upset, by the end of the 25+hours, it was pretty difficult to choose sides (despite our association with the characters of TLOU 1) and the game did pose moral dilemma a few times which was very good..

    Cinematic masterpiece. Everything from graphics to acting and even gameplay makes this game one of a kind. Even if the pacing is lacking in some chapters, the overall experience is very impactful. It's a game that will stay with you long after completion.

    this game is an absolute MASTERPIECE. Naughty Dog not only took risks, but they showed courage in making you feel uncomfortable and double think who you really think is the good person. gameplay, story, the overall feel is OUTSTANDING. this is next level gaming, perfect way to get us ready for next gen. i LOVED it. GOTY, might be the game of the generation. (ps4)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us's strength was derived primarily from the relationship forged between Ellie and Joel; everything else was secondary. Somehow, TLOU Part 2 seems astoundingly unaware of this. Joel's death, although potentially a fine decision either later in the game or in a subsequent sequel, was a poor choice that immediately massively negatively impacted the game. Having to play as Abby during the first few hours, with it being very clear that she was going to kill Joel, was a devastatingly bad move, and I found myself letting her get caught by the zombies in a hopeless bid to spare Joel.

    Character development was disappointingly poor. Ellie became a character that, by the end, I actually hated more than Abby. Her disregard for the welfare of her friends and her girlfriend paints a character who is deeply selfish, psychopathic, and not fun to play as: when I play a game, I don't want to feel like a bad person. I didn't want to make the decisions the game forced me to make, and when the game finally ended, after several false stops, I was left feeling desolate and depressed, with the one silver lining being that it was finally over. For the first time in my life i immediately uninstalled the game, gave my dog a hug, and traded the game in. I had no desire to play this game again, given how it made me feel.

    The game certainly isn't all bad; indeed there are some fantastic parts (such as the level set in the outbreak 'ground zero'), the score works very well, and fine detail is great (such as the weapon modification animations), however the negatives outshine the positives. Dialogue was weak, with too much spoken explicitly and too little relying on nuance, and many things that occurred seemed to have been written just so the story could continue in the direction of the ending the writers wanted. Different parts feel disjointed, much of it feels disorganised, and some parts are far too long and boring. The degree of graphic violence was genuinely shocking, exhausting and entirely unneccessary, and I found myself having to look away from quite a few parts (I felt sorry for the animators). Perhaps most importantly, having to play the game as a character you are inevitably going to have little rapport with due to her actions in the first few hours was a gamble that did not pay off. Although I ended up favouring Abby, it wasn't because I felt sorry for her per se, but rather because I hated her just a little bit less than the monster Ellie had become.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Worst game that made me feel sick to play. I actually bought this game, due to a preorder. There's never an excuse to kill off main characters in such a brutal, torturous way. And, then to make you play as the killer. No. And, the animal abuse. It's not okay to put out stuff like this without a warning. Games should not be shocking, just to shock.… Expand

    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]
