    Entra en mi top tres de cabeza de mejores juegos que haya jugado, solo por detrás del original y el nuevo god of war. El apartado técnico es asombroso, y los mapas una locura. Ahora bien, hay bastantes vacios de guión que lo ensucian, y diria que sobran al menos 3 horas de juego. Me encantaría poder olvidarlo para volver a jugarlo como el primer dia

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe that a lot of the poor user reviews to this game were caused by a sour introduction with the leaks. There is also the aspect that the Last of Us Part 2 defies AAA narrative rules and kills a beloved character in the first few hours, in bad taste. It is my belief that the disgusting departing of the best character is exactly the point. It did exactly what it was supposed to. It caused outrage. That rage towards the death of Joel is exactly what is supposed to spur on the tale of revenge that the game follows with Ellie, and makes it extremely difficult to sympathize with the person that caused this feeling in us. Of course I don't think this game is perfect. There are certainly flaws, but it is also certainly not deserving of a 1/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i can say this was the worst story telling i've ever played. I know it has been 2 years and i was waiting for this game for 4 years but when i saw how was the story, i decided not to ruin my love for the first game. 5 days ago i saw it was on sale so i bought it, and listen to me people it really doesn't worth it. the **** story line and the way that they try to make us love Abby throughout the game is completely ridiculous.
    And i'm not even going to talk about how they just killed Joel in the first hour of the game.

I think this game is really really good but only in essence not in actuality. The biggest thing that this game suffers from is pacing. It's really borderline scrambled because nothing fits together it's like a puzzle but they put all the edge pieces in the middle. It just is completely off. The story in theory is amazing even though it's simple. It's really good in a vacuum. Every scene and moment is well made and could go off of each other to make a well paced masterpiece but because of the pacing it's just a slog of annoyance. No scenes go together they just work in vacuum's. I do not recommend buying this game unless you want the gameplay even on sale. If you want the story but in a fixed version go watch neocranium's recut version of the game. On how the actual game is in it's current way I would say 4/10. It's functional and is solid but it's pacing destroys any chance for this story based game to be good. I would give the recuts on youtube though 8-9/10. This should be a big message to game devs that pacing is key to a game's success and to your reputation to the community. They **** up hard.… Expand

    Con la perdida de la principal guionista y uno de los directores, este juego ha perdido todo tipo de coerecia en el guión o la narrativa. Las situaciones son absurdas, los personajes son planos y contradictorios en sus actos, la narrativa está mal organizada, los clímax del juego son cortados y alargados dejando una gran sensación de frustración., nos engañaron con los anuncios...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So after letting the dust settle after the complete **** storm this title received upon release, I finally decided to give it a go with little to no expectations and see how I enjoyed it. I was apprehensive about all the woke elements I had heard had been crammed into it but to be honest, those things really didn’t bother me as much as I thought. Sure, a lot were unnecessary and felt forced where it didn’t need to be, it actually provided some chuckles, however the actual NARRATIVE was an abomination. A train wreck. A spit in the face to what made this franchise great. Gameplay wise it was fantastic. Whoever made the narrative decisions on this game should bow out quietly and perhaps ponder a different creative career. Nay, whoever signed off on whoever made the narrative decisions for this game should be let go immediately. Completely out of touch with fans. The Last of Us 2 should be renamed - How to destroy a franchise in 15 hours…… Expand

    Don't pay attention to the review bombing. This game is fantastic. No, it is not perfect but no game is. Anything negative I could say about this game would be a nitpick, at best. I would recommend this game for the excellent gameplay and engrossing story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel as if the people complaining about this game didn’t actually play it. Because if you compare the mechanics of this game to the previous game they have improved. Joel is not the same character as the first game which can happen with people once they settle done. He cares about Ellie. And also Abby is a great character and I feel most men who hate on this game are just mad about the fact she exists. Joel killed Abby’s father leading her to want to get revenge like every other character. Sorry this game had LGBTQ+ elements making you uncomfortable. I mean I’m pretty sure the first game had some as well. The ending was nice because she realized how much of a monster she had become. Going from a little girl who loves comics and music to someone who just left it all behind. Growing into who she is now. A person leaving behind all she once knew to basically become non existent.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II takes the gameplay foundation laid by the first game and expands on it, but not always in positive ways. The cycling of human and infected enemies still keeps the experience pleasantly variegated, and to each group new classes have been added. These additions aren't unique enough to meaningfully shake up the experience, but the new ways in which we can approach them definitely do: dodging and counterattacking are rewarding new mechanics that make melee offense a much more worthwhile option, layering combat significantly, just like hiding in the tall grass, underneath vehicles and underwater amplifies the strategic options for stealth. Alas, these improvements, and combat as a whole, is severely undermined by the overwhelming size of areas. Levels are much bigger than they were in the first game, and although this might seem like a clear improvement, it becomes apparent after a while that their bigger size often makes the experience significantly worse than before. Areas are now so big that it often becomes extremely, embarassingly easy to alert the enemy only to then run away far enough to make their AI lose your tracks. By repeating this, the player can easily trivialize a significant chunk of the game, only because areas are so big that they allow you to. Nonetheless, many areas are contained enough to prevent this, and the human AI is notably improved since the first game. Plus, exploration is always rewarding thanks to the hunt for materials, greatly immersive, and environmental puzzles are now decently creative, if still repetitive. The characters of The Last of Us Part II retain the same level of believability and psychological depth that made the first game special, but the story itself lacks the same spark, being thematically repetitive as it is entirely devoted to a moral lesson that is extremely overused in media.    … Expand

    有勇气进行这样的剧本创作真是太赞了。
    在游戏内容上的细节也是顶级水平。
    不足之处是游戏时长过长导致情绪无法从头到尾保持饱满。

The performances are truly spectacular in this game and it helps bring the game and its character to light. The gameplay builds on the original to make a more immersive and rewarding experienced with intense stealth mechanics and high octane gun fights with animations that brings it all to light. The story is an emotional rollercoaster that will require you as a player to find empathy and forgiveness. This is not a cliché revenge is bad story like every other negative review suggests it is. There is so much to unpack in this game if you are willing to accept it for what it is. This game made me experience things I have never felt before playing a game or watching a movie and to this today even after I played it for the first time over 2 years ago I still think about it.… Expand

    Historia aburrida, previsible, personajes sin carisma y la música no está al nivel de TLOU. Lo único positivo fue lógicamente la evolución gráfica.

    Never trust critic reviews when it comes to Sony games. They are mostly overrated borefests, and this game is no exception. Druckmann really does think he's the next Kubrick, except he can't write for **** and will bore your pants off with unskippable cutscenes that go on forever. If you've played one Sony exclusive, you've played them all. Boring, pretentious drivel the lot of them.

    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]
