    Grandísimo juego, gráficos brutales, gameplay de ensueño, la historia peor que la del juego anterior pero aún así muy interesante y arriesgada en ciertos puntos. El juego no es perfecto, pero es de lo mejor de la generación, un imprescindible.

El juego no es perfecto, pero es de lo mejor de la generación, un imprescindible.
    Por otro lado siento verdadera lástima por todos aquellos a los que sus prejuicios y las ganas de hacer escarnio les impiden degustar, reflexionar o simplemente disfrutar de este juego. Más allá de la homofobia y transfobia, más que evidente por parte de algunos de los usuarios esta web, el resto que critica la historia con notas tan negativas realmente no sé si sabe en que saga está y de que compañía es, esto es Naughty Dog señores, y a ND se la suda lo que quisiéramos o lo que vosotros creáis que son las mejores maneras de llevar x o y personaje, han contado la historia como lo han sentido. Y es esto lo que hace cualquier autor con personalidad y una idea clara y fija, escribir y crear lo que quiere y no lo que os da la gana a vosotros.
    Ni la historia es tan mala (ya digo que es mejor la del 1), ni se os intenta meter inclusividad por todos lados, a nadie le importa lo que penséis o no.
    Juego de 9.5 la nota que le da la prensa, le subo al 10, porque si, porque me corresponde subirle medio punto si me sale y me ha divertido jugarlo, que lo ha hecho.

    Wow Meisterwerk. Das Game ist sehr zu empfehlen. Das beste Spiel was ich je aus der Playstation 4 gespielt habe. Die Arbeit von Naughty Dog ist ein absolutes Meisterwerk. Was die Story angeht war ich auch teilweise sehr schockiert. Aber insgesamt Wahnsinn. Hier stimmt alles.

    Overall movement is fluid and feels natural. The controls are extremely intuitive and anything you don't like, pretty much anything at all, can be changed or turned off. There are about 60 unique options and accessibility settings to fine tune your experience.

    The rope mechanics. Just using rope in this game feels like...well it feels real. Flexible materials in games are usually very fake looking. But here, it's much more convincing. For instance it needs to be bunched up before you can throw it, and the way it wraps around objects is nothing I've seen in gaming before. (you can use google to confirm this for yourself)

    The guitar. My God, the guitar. People are actually playing entire songs on it. (Again, you can google to confirm this) I'm no good at instruments but it pulls me back to when I was a kid, trying guitar lessons, It's a great feeling and it makes for a very good break in the action, helping with the pacing of the game.

    As for the story, that's what has some people really riled up. It's true that some people won't like the direction the story takes. However that does not make it bad. Play for yourself and decide for yourself, because everything else about this game is indisputably phenomenal. Don't let the salty boys convince you into missing out on this extremely well made game.    … Expand

Either way I’m not giving this a higher score because of how beautiful it is, I expected the game to look beautiful and violent. TLOU was always about the story and when you can’t deliver it, you lost.… Expand

    I don't get the hate the game gets for the "SJW agenda" stuff. Is the main Charakter lesbian? Yes. Is the main antagonist a muscular women? Yes. I just don't get why that is a problem. Do all you haters really want the same Standard male hero male antagonist story for the rest of your life? Well for me this game is a Masterpiece.

    I want to start off that I was never a big fan of the original game's gameplay. I found it a bit dull and repetitive and it never really made me want to play it again. I only played my second play through recently so that I could have the storyline fresh in my mind before playing part II. The story on the other hand was very well done. I would give the original an 8 overall for a score.I want to start off that I was never a big fan of the original game's gameplay.

I only played my second play through recently so that I could have the storyline fresh in my mind before playing part II. The story on the other hand was very well done. I would give the original an 8 overall for a score. Part II pretty much follows the exact same gameplay and I again I found it dull and repetitive. It gets really boring when 40% of your gameplay is scrounging for supplies. I also think they should have had more development with the monsters. Whenever they stuck with that it was scary, tense, and fun. I think the most fun I had with the gameplay was fighting that big monster. It was different and it caught me by surprise. Fighting mostly humans got boring quickly.

    Graphics/Sound

    Graphically the game looks amazing. There is a cutscene where it shows Abby waking up and it looked so real I thought it was a video. I also like realistic violent animations they added. A lot of people complained about that but I loved it. I also loved the little touches of humanity they sprinkled in such as people yelling their comrade's name when they died or when Ellie sneaks a stealth kill and she whispers things like "Got you f**ker!" I chuckled every time after a kill when Ellie would say something like, "Dick!" . LOL It was so Ellie, I loved it. The sound of people gurgling and choking on their own blood as you sliced their throats, it was so creepy and awesome. Job well done on that front. The music was great and the guitar playing was also a nice touch.

    Acting

    Top-notch as expected. All of the actors involved are triple A VO and they even had Jeffery Wright who is a triple A Hollywood actor in a bit part. I thought that was cool.

    Story

    This is where the game falters, I think. The overall story and morale were good it was just executed quite poorly. A lot of the mistakes made by the characters were just so strange it made it hard for people to believe it. Even though I loved playing as Abby it just didn't feel right switching over to her character when you reached the crescendo with Ellie. I heard someone else say it might have been better if they alternated chapters and I agree. I think that would have worked. I also think they were quite heavy-handed with the debbie downers (depressing aspects). It's like the game's main mission was to make you feel as miserable as possible. I like a sad story but this was just a bit over the top.

    Conclusion

    Mediocre gameplay with little improvement from 8 years ago (which wasn't that great to begin with) coupled with a flawed narrative, plants this game firmly in Meh-sville.

Раз за разом, герои поднимаются, чтобы вновь разрушить свои жизни а также жизни чужие и в этом нет ничего интересного, душевного и более того к концу тебе становится абсолютно все равно, лишь бы поскорее это все закончилось.

    I didn't look at any review before finishing this game so this is my honest opinion. Also, my real score for the game is 9.5. Graphics are amazing. Music is good but not as good as the first one. Story is great too but the order of way that they told the story was the weak part. Gameplay is great too but it can get repetitive sometimes. Overall I highly recommend the game.

    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]
