Si recordarán el TLOU 1 fue un éxito por su historia, este es uno de esos juegos donde lo primordial es la historia que cuenta (o almenos para mí lo es ya que jugue al 1 y sin duda alguna es una joya) pero en este hicieron una historia que pierde toda la lógica de la trama al final, por eso esta "mala calificación" perdón si no esperaban esto, y se que se esforzaron mucho en traernos está entrega, pero que más da? Ya pague por ello y no quede conforme los de Naugthy Dog nada pierden ellos, quienes perdemos somos los que pagamos por el juego teniendo grandes espectativas sobre la historia que lo envolveria y al final nos salieron con esa historia, una burla total, la inclusión de personajes de otra índole sexual me parece buena y no tengo problemas en ello, solo la historia es el problema… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though I found the first game a little overrated, i still loved it and was hyped for the sequel, but oh I am so disappointed.

    PROS:

    Visually stunning- some of the character models look a little weird and unrealistic but apart from that this game looks so good.

    Level design and art direction- I actually think this is one thing the sequel does better than the first.

    Acting- Can't complain, acting is great.

    CONS:

    Story- As many have pointed out, the story is appalling (one of the worst in video game history) it just feels like a insult to fans of the original and a big part of the game forces you to play a horrible character.

    Gameplay- gameplay isn't bad but it's just so...meh, like a lot of Naughty Dog games it feels a little clunky and dated at times.

    Ending- probably the worst ending in video game history, made the entire game pointless. Killing Abby would've at least made the game somewhat fine but Ellie keeping her alive made no sense. Ellie kills many innocent people but spares Abby? Makes no sense.

    Characters- Didn't like either old or new characters. Despite being the main character of the first game Joel hardly does anything and acts out of character. Ellie too acts out of character. Abby is so unlikeable yet the games tries so hard to make you like her and I don't want to be forced to like this vile villain. Lev is also a character they fore you to like but he is just not interesting. Jesse's only purpose was to get Dina pregnant and Dina herself is so bland and I just didn't see chemistry between her and Ellie.

    Pacing- Like Uncharted 4 this game outstays it's welcome, it realy drags on. It's about 25-30 hours but should've been about 18-20, we didn't need the long Abby sequences.

    Tone- The game tries so hard to come across as "edgy" and "thought provoking" but it just comes across as narcissistic. Also, it feels like they just added OTT violence scenes for shock value, it forces you to kill dogs and pregnant woman to try and act edgy but it just comes across as misery porn.

    Joel's death- I'm fine with Joel dying (let's face it we all knew he was going to die) I just hate how it happens, it happens in the first 2 hours of the game and after all he's been through he gets killed by a golf club?!

    So that's my review of TLOU2, such a letdown.    … Expand

    The game graphics and mecanics are incredible but the story is so, so bad; there were a lot of other things to explore but they did this **** story about revenge where Ellie kills half of the post-apocaliptic US population and then forgives Abby, a character that came from nowhere and that only found joel because of luck.

When the leaks came out, I lost all hope and the heavy "fanboys" who are sucking Naughty Dog (*cough* Breakthrough and Tajae *cough*) are just White Knights and same for the "critics". For me, the gameplay, music, sounds, and visuals are amazing, and another for me, the Infected were the best, they felt like they had more personalities than these "characters" Naughty Dog made and changed for the sake of a crap plot on revenge. The story isn't special, so are the characters. Trying to build Abby and her friends hours after they killed Joel, and making us feel for them in a **** way, was totally wrong. I was happy when all of her friends died, even when it was supposed to be "emotional". They also make Lev a large subplot, even though what she was going through has NOTHING to do with the world of last of us. I have no problem for lgbt rep, if anything, Bill in the first Last of Us was great, same for the DLC, but this time, shoving it in our faces isn't the way. Along with a ****ty ending, first, Abby kills Joel in front of Ellie, Kills Jesse, almost kills Tommy, breaks her arm, beats Dina's face in almost cutting her throat, and bites two of her fingers off, just to have a small memory of Joel, and letting her go. For a sequel that was 1000000 percent anticipated, it delivered a large disappointment. I enjoyed the flashbacks with Joel, but they always ended up in showing what he did, that justifies his death. We all knew he was gonna die but like this? It's just bad. If you like the new Star Wars trilogy and the last two seasons for Game of Thrones, buy this game. If you love the characters from the first game, a good plot, and hope that no social politics will be shoved in your face, DON'T buy this game.… Expand

    If you played The Last of Us Part 1, you will not enjoy The Last of us Part 2.
    If you haven't played part 1, then part 2 is a solid 4/10.

    I do not care about graphics, I do not care about technology. Only if it is fun or not.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt like this game was just the writers and directors spitting in the face of the original TLOU. I really felt betrayed and dissapointed when I finished the story. The first half of the game was great but who **** thought that players would like to play as Abby for +10 hours? This is Ellie’s story of revenge, not a gorilla girl romantic story. I trully believe that 2 monkeys could have written a better ending to this **** story. I feel that the Ellie we know would have killed Abby the moment she had the opportunity, we do not need this “revenge is bad” **** I **** hated the fight at the theater because I do not want to play with Joel’s killer agains one of the best characters in the game. Joel should have died in a different way, he really looked like a retard compared to what he was in TLOU, he really never trusted somebody but now its different. Abby should have died at the end because what she did to one of the best characters in PS history. The graphics of this game are excellent but Neil Druckmann and the other creative directors MUST be fired after this trash game. They just literally took a dump on what TLOU had built.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was so excited to play this game, the first time I've ever been this excited in my life. Just for it to get ruined and to make me want to forget about this game and look for something else to be excited for. (And by the way, I thought the leaks wouldn't be as bad as they were and I was one of those people who got mad whenever someone said the game was bad, and defended it. So this just gives you perspective about how much I cared for this game.) I don't even know where to start. The only good thing about this game is the graphics, the graphics look AMAZING and ran really well on my PS4, which I thought would melt playing this. Now the bad stuff, and oh boy it's a lot. First of all, the overall "revenge" plot is just garbage. By the time I was finished with Nora I wanted to leave Seattle because I thought that is enough. You brutally killed enough WLF and Seraphites to make your message clear that you wanted revenge and did. Secondly, the characters in this game are flawed and your hopes to see development with them is just spat in your face. You can't just kill off characters just like that to try and be "bold". No, people are going to hate that and they do. It shows with these reviews and mine. For example, and perhaps the worst death I've ever seen in a video game, Joel. Naughty Dog thought it would be bold to kill one of the most beloved characters in the whole series too push the revenge narrative. And I should add that Ellie treats Joel like garbage in this game, (except for the flashback of the Museum.) And all Joel does it try to treat her with the upmost respect and Ellie is just a jerk to him. The whole thing where characters die out of nowhere is just a disappointing way to kill people. At least let them have their moment like Henry and Sam in the first game. That was a how you character off, it was heartbreaking and really made you think for awhile after it. With Joel it somewhat made me not sad but angry at how they treated him like garbage. Another example is jesse, I thought he was a okay character but a little mellow and not much personality, but an alright side character. Then for Abby just to kill him like that, all of that development for nothing, he is barely even mentioned for the rest of the game. And oh boy, the part I HATED the most about this game was how you had to play as Abby. NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY AS THE PERSON WHO TORTURED AND KILLED JOEL. And to extend it for 10+ hours?!? I mean come on, everyone I have seen play the game hated the part with Abby. For me, I was bored and hated her so much. The whole time you play as her you know what's going to happen so it's boring and seems like there's no point to even playing as her. The flashback of Abby with her dad and the Firefly hospital is what only should have made it to the game because it gives us the reason Abby wanted to kill Joel. The part where you meet Yara and Lev is just boring, they have no development whatsoever and are static characters. Getting the medical supplies for Yara at the hospital and the boss fight didn't even matter because she gets sprayed with bullets by WLF soldiers. (Another example of trying to be bold and killing people.) Neil Druckmann tried to have a bold and new approach to a game, and it didn't work. I now understand why the game is divisive. My heart hurts just writing this because I waited so long just for it to be ruined. I was looking forward to this for years. I remember how excited I was to learn that I was going to play in Seattle because I live in Washington. The part where I got to Seattle I was just bored. All you do in Seattle is just kill WLF and Seraphites. Lastly, the ending. Oh man this was just horribly executed. You leave your family and basically your kid to go find and kill Abby, but then just to not kill her? Like... what?!? Why? What is even the point of having this in the game? It doesn't make sense. When you come back to the farm after sadly sparing Abby, Dina and her kid is gone. You did all that and lost 2 fingers to lose the only thing you had left. God this game just broke me in a bad way. I know this is bold, but I want there to be a Part 3. And not to just continue the story, but to do this game justice. But the way the reviews are going I highly doubt this will happen. Neil Druckmann if you are reading this, you tarnished my, and MANY others used to be favorite franchise. It breaks my heart so much to wait so long for something so disappointing.… Expand

    Cuando salió The Last Of Us quede maravillado con su historia, jugabilidad, gráficos y razonamiento, por que razonamiento? por el simple hecho de que todo lo que pasaba tenia un porque, era una historia que en su tiempo y a día de hoy es considerada una de las mejores que se han hecho para un juego.

    The Last Of Us Part II no es mas que un reflejo de que las productoras están dejando de hacer videojuegos con cariño hacia sus fans.
    No me quejo de que el LGBT este presente en el videojuego, ya que no importa la orientación sexual de un personaje a la hora de contar una historia, puede ser Gay, Hetero, Bi, Trans, Alien si tu quieres pero cuéntame su historia con sentido, que es de lo que carece esta secuela, el sentido.
    The Last Of Us Part II es un juego gráficamente sorprendente que puede llegar a atraer a nuevos jugadores de esta saga, pero ni sus gráficos o jugabilidad lograran ocultar el desastre que es su historia, algo que los verdaderos fans que amamos la primera entrega y estábamos esperando una obra maestra nunca antes vista, nos decepciono enormemente las malas decisiones de guion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't be mislead by the fake reviews or ones done by players that have only played 2-4 hours of the game before reviewing. 50% of the game is played with a different character that we know nothing about. Which might deter some players as it would've deterred me had I not fallen to the same fate.

    Gameplay 6/10
    Graphics 9/10
    Music/audio 9/10
    Character design 3/10
    Cinematics & Dialogue 9/10
    Story 1/10
    Overall (Since it's mostly a story focused game) 3/10

    -- Characters were bland and easily forgotten; they had no impact in their roles and were simply supportive characters to make the player feel less alone, they served no big purpose in the story
    and they felt as though they were added only to kill off, which could've worked if they bothered making them matter more to the player, e.g. (Sam & henry in The Last of Us).
    -- Story fell short due to having many plot-holes: (Big spoilers):

    - Multiple flashbacks felt unfitting and randomized at times, which took the player outside the immersive experience one should experience
    - Joel's death felt forced to illicit a poor shock experience which could've been executed better
    (Either added value by learning more about Abby beforehand, or delayed further into the game)
    - Playing as Abby after a cliffhanger scene made the experience unenjoyable and most players agreed that her role took a very long part in the full game, fixing the issue could've been resolved with her role being played in future DLC or simply shortening her gameplay time. This resulted in mass outrage and fans were not happy with good reason. It's simply not fun to play as the antagonist that killed the previous loved main character in such a gruesome way, and finding any way to empathize with her was gone after her deed.
    - The ending is a cliche; revenge is bad, which is okay if it wasn't contradictory to itself. Abby left undeserving of mercy where Ellie lost everything dear to her without compensation. It's realistic but unsatisfying. A good story can be shocking, sad, and emotional without destroying what everyone loves, and it's unfortunate that Neil could not understand this point.    … 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.
