El juego es bueno visualmente, pero como siempre díganme quién escribe el guión, un maldito sumió o su sobrino de 3 años, pasaron de convertir la historia de suspenso, acción y buena trama a querer vender ideas de inclusionismo que están muy fuera de lugar, una historia absurda donde matas al protagonista principal para enfocarse en Ellie y sus traumas, a pero arreglenlo con una escena de sexo que nada que ver, la verdar un gran juego visualmente, pero queda muy por debajo de los shoters genéricos que hay actualmente, mejor dediquense a a vender motores gráficos, que historias absurdas ganarían más.

    This game is an okay game. The gameplay, acting, graphics, weapons overhaul and enemy development are all excellent. Contrary to that, the narrative is a bit discombobulated, in my opinion. People loved the original for the deep, meaningful narrative. I also found that I personally was not connected to any of the characters within TLOU2, in comparison to the original.

Contrary to that, the narrative is a bit discombobulated, in my opinion. People loved the original for the deep, meaningful narrative. I also found that I personally was not connected to any of the characters within TLOU2, in comparison to the original.

    There’s been a lot of controversy regarding the whole gender perspective, specifically regarding a particular character you meet throughout the game. Abby is also built like a unit so, there’s speculation that she was designed with a gender bias (I’m not one hundred percent sure).

    People who don’t like the gender movement in the game have been seen as phobic but, that’s not necessarily the case. The game is based in an apocalypse, so people are unsure why gender is even a ‘thing’ in the game.

    However, people are more pissed off (including myself) as Naughty Dog seemed to have used Joel as leverage regarding the TLOU2 trailers, when in reality, Joel plays a very small part of the game. This is why people are so annoyed because, it seems that there has been a deliberate intention to destroy this whole ‘toxic male masculinity’ (mentality that men are supposed to have), by making Abby built like a heavyweight bodybuilder, and other aspects of the gender equality movement, specifically regarding a particular character in the game, and how Joel was killed by Abby earlier on in the game.

    The whole reason why people loved the original TLOU was based on the narrative between Joel and Ellie, and their father daughter relationship. TLOU2 rips that perception apart, totally and deliberately.

    Personally, I thought the game was okay but, I was not emotionally captivated as I was when I played the original. I felt the soundtrack and narrative was just up in the air, as you play Ellie and Abby throughout the game; Abby’s play through feels like a glorified side quest as she has no motives - her motive was achieved at the very beginning of the game which created an anticlimactic play through.

    The characters you meet in the game are also very hard to like. Not that they’re ‘bad’ or anything but, I just felt the game design didn’t allow anyone to really attach to anyone. In the original, you meet Bill and I loved him because he was funny, moody, angry, sarcastic - there was so much substance to his character - this isn’t the case in TLOU2, unfortunately.

    If you loved the original based on the narrative and bond between Ellie and Joel, then there’s a good chance you may not like this game.

    The game is excellent in terms of build quality and graphically but, TLOU was built on the companionship between Joel & Ellie and their journey together.

    This game is just a game without a great plot. Although it’s a good game, I got to a point where I just wanted to complete it to see if the ending would have made me feel, as the original did. Unfortunately, the ending did nothing for me, at all.

    My score is 3/10. This is a The Last of Us game but, it felt like a completely different franchise. I also felt that the game was deliberately designed for a particular movement, disregarding the fan base of the original.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game starts a bit slow. It has stunning graphics, which was expected, but the mechanics feel dated, the story becomes unbearable when the Abby part comes along, and the characters are not fully developed. It also forces its way into you liking Abby, with no success for me. The ending with Ellie forgiving Abby was anti-climatic after you spend the game killing people to get to that point. It was a let down to say the least.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I should start by saying, I'm not much of a gamer. It's very rare that I even become invested enough in a game to talk about it & give an opinion. I wasn't even going to do so in this case, but it seems to be what everyone else is doing, & I'm seeing a lot of deceitful & unfair criticisms from critics & trolls respectively. I just want to talk about the game & what I thought of it honestly & I'll try to be as fair as I can, but of course this is all my subjective opinion.

    I wanted to love The Last of Us Pat II, because the first game, in my opinion, is a masterpiece and is arguably one of the greatest video games ever made. It also presents an incredible story with some truly great characters. Joel and Ellie are two of my favorite fictional characters, & following their trek across a post-apocalyptic United States was an incredible experience. Because I love these characters, I was excited that we'd again be following them in Part II, this time with more of a preference on Ellie. And though that is the case for a lot of the game, I feel we also spend far too much time which characters we simply don't care about it, mainly the character of Abby. I think the actress who portrays her did a great job, but did we need to spend hours of time following her, in my view, no, especially given that after the first 2 hours of game-play, I (if I may be blunt) hated her character, given the fact that she kills Joel, way earlier than it should have happened. I hate the treatment Joel received in Part II; of course there's a bias on my part because I loved him in the first game, but I do feel like his character got dealt an unfair hand in Part II. I always figured that Joel would die, simply because it seemed like the obvious story decision that would push Ellie to become more independent (which in a way it does), but I wish we had spent more time with Joel and Ellie before his death. The counter-argument to that is "spending time with Joel & Ellie was the premise of the first game," & that's true, but Part II takes place years after that, their relationship has obviously progressed & changed over the years, & I would have liked to see where their father-daughter bond stood after all these years. If I'm being frank, I think Joel's death as it stands only serves as a way to subvert expectations, just for the sake of subversion, which is a poor way of storytelling.

    Before I continue, some small things I liked: I think the voice acting is great from everyone, the graphics are incredible, the game-play is a lot more of an improvement over the last game (which is to be expected given it's been years since that game's release), and for the most part I liked some of the new side characters, like Dinah and Jesse. I also liked Ellie and Dinah's relationship, & I think it did a good job showing Ellie's maturity.

    I mentioned earlier, but I think it was a mistake to focus so much on Abby, because I feel I'm not alone when I say I didn't care about her character and even hated her character (well, hate is strong word, but that's how I felt, especially after she killed Joel). She's a new character that we don't know, that we haven't spent any time with and have no history with, therefore of course I'm not going to care for her as much as i care for Ellie or Joel. I understand the game developers wanting to go in a different direction with Part II & want to show other people's perspectives, but the first game made it clear that it was solely focused on Joel and Ellie's perspective, & given Part II was marketed as mainly following Ellie, that's what myself & many others were expecting.

    I see a lot of faux reviews, calling out "SJW stuff," or Neil Druckmann's politics, & I really don't want to to give any of that the time of the day because I don't care about them. I don't care that Ellie is gay, in fact I think it's great. I don't care about the other perceived SJW or political stuff, even if I may disagree with it, I won't let it get in the way of me playing the game. And honestly, if you're so appalled by gay characters or even Neil Druckmann, why are playing this game? Sure, obviously you can, you have every right to play this game, but when you know this game's going to piss you off, & then you rant in a review of how pissed off you are, I don't know, I question your point in even being here.

    I do completely understand the double standard criticisms Part II is facing, especially in regards to SONY allowing a pretty graphic sex scene while in the past (& still to this day) censoring far less. I also dislike the notion that any negative criticism this game receives is the doing of bots. There are definitely trolls doing what trolls do, but there are folks with legitimate criticisms, & to ignore those criticisms does a great disservice to people who paid a lot of money for this game & were really excited about it.

    That's all I really have to say. I wanted to love this game, but I couldn't.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was disappointed by the end. The story was totally lackluster especially considering the amount of time they had to put this game together. So many holes in the storyline and almost half the game dedicated to a character that no one cares about and running missions for people that were hardly part of the story development in the first place. The result are missions the feel totally unimportant because there’s no attachment to the outcome of the characters. So much indecision even in the final fight scene. Go after Abby again only to save her to decide to fight her again only to decide to save her again. It felt like they were trying to pull so many last ditch efforts to get you to care about this new character development. I was completely engrossed by LOU 1 and the combination of gameplay and storytelling was sensational. This time I didn’t care.… Expand

    TLOU2 is ABSOLUTELY a beautiful game, and the play mechanics are sound throughout.
    But the story, the forcing of players to take on the role of Abby in order to try to force them to sympathize/empathize/relate to her and her decision making process is absurd.
    Joel is done a horrible injustice in the game. Was there a way for them to kill off his character if they "had to" and not make the game suffer in the process? Of course there was.
    Instead, Neil Druckmann (and almost assuredly Anna Sarkeesian) decided to spit in the face of all the true fans of the previous game and send players down a rabbit hole of bad story telling, with shockingly daft characters who make horrendous decisions that are contradictory at every turn and ruin what COULD have been the "Masterpiece" that the "professional reviewers" claim this game to be.
    I have been playing games probably longer than many of the professionals have been alive for. I remember the first time I played Pong. I beat Adventure when it first came out. I had Colecovision, the Atari 2600 and still have my old Famicom NES system somewhere in storage (though it is long since dead). I am a gamer and I know that a good story with relatable and likable characters who make informed decisions and have sensible through lines are the most important thing to my gaming experience today. TLOU2 did not have any of that. Good for Sony and Naughty Dog for making piles of money, as that is (at the end of the day) what is most important to their bottom lines, but when PLAYERS say that this game will go down in history on the same level as The Last Jedi and season 8 of GOT, they are not being hyperbolic or evil...just truthful about how bad this game is, and how much more we (as PLAYERS) expected after 7 long years of waiting.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The scene in the museum with Joel and Ellie is so beautiful and it honestly bumped up the score a few points for me. But that doesn’t change the fact that the game falls apart when you play as Abby. I didn’t hate abby as a villain at first. Wasn’t the best, but she had an understandable motivation. The way she ended up killing Joel was written so lazily and the character deserved better, but i tried to believe that the game could somehow make it worth it in the end. The stuff with Ellie wasn’t bad. Not even close to as good as the first one, but not awful. What this game fails to realize is the attachment that everyone has to Joel and Ellie. I honestly believe that there was nothing the writers could have done to make us sympathize with Abby. We know what Joel did and we don’t care. We had a whole game to fall in love with him and that won’t change just because one of the many people he killed happened to have a daughter. To make it even worse, when you play as abby it has nothing to do with Ellie! It’s a completely different story and it feels so disconnected from the game. What made the first game good is the connection between Joel and Ellie. This game took that away and then tried to turn the two of them into the antagonist. I don’t understand how the writers would ever think we could sympathize with the person who killed such a loved character.… Expand

This story is bad, and I mean REALLY bad. The developers even tells us "this game is not supposed to be fun". Well if that was the goal, they nailed it!

Infact, I like the fact that Ellie sees red after the infamous death scene. But this could have been something so much greater, and Druckmann decided to bait and switch and make statements that fall flat. Other than that, the graphics are phenomenal. Sound design is great, music is fantastic and most technical aspects are on par with anything else out there. Not only is this is the end of the console's life cycle but Naughty Dog had all the time in the world and Sony's blank check to get this done now they originally imagined, so I'd expect it be at this level. As far as the gameplay is concerned, it is almost exactly the same as the first, which isn't necessarily a fault, but it's not great either.

How the studio came about in reinforcing that fact seems like an attention grab that did work out in that aspect, but failed hard in it feeling natural. Stereotyping Ellie to be more butchy with tattoos, how she walks, and overall less likeable and rebellious. The best thing about her personality is that she still is as clueless to life and judgements as in first game. With that aside, the story, minus the one early shocker, is very bland and forgettable. No surprises, no shockers, no big reveal or twist. Literally the story you are introduced after the epilogue is it. 23 hours of slogging and surviving. I find it hard to read a lot of the reviews that said they couldn't wait to get to the next story but because it was that good. For me, I wanted more story and hoped that upcoming bit was good. Nope. Gameplay is much of the same as original, which is not bad, but the lack of introducing key new elements is sad. The survival is much more easy than the original, presenting no challenge at all on normal mode, with exception of the extremely glitchy zombies who would seem to damage you regardless of dodging. Side characters are lacking personality and depth. Overall, graphics don't seem mutch better than PS3 version, let alone the remaster. Facial expressions seem like twitchy, nervous molds. Overall, the game is bland, slow, lifeless, and honestly feels like someone made the shell of a game, and knowing it sucked, banked on Ellie's sexual orientation to save the day. Obviously critics in mainstream will all praise, not to anger anyone for speaking likely the true opinion.oh, and that huge twist people are talking about (not one at end of epilogue) is not a twist at all as it is assumed in the opening sequence.… Expand

    The first game was perfect, you had a good game with a great history and the perfect ending, but now they Just improved the graphics, keeped the gameplay and made a sh**ty history that spits on the legacy of the first game. Its not that i only dislike the way things went with the campaign, but your history was straight up bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not good. The gameplay, music, and animation are amazing, but the story SUCKS. Let’s start of with the thing that pissed me off the most, the death of Joel. Joel is extremely smart in the first game, he literally saw a “wounded” man walking towards him, and knew there was an ambush, but in the second, he saves Abby and goes with her, without knowing anything about her. That is not how Joel would act, it doesn’t fit his character in any way. Then we have Ellie, In the beginning she was amazing, but once you play the game, she goes for revenge, and once she gets the chance to honor Joel, the person who she loved the most, after losing everything (including the ability to play the guitar which was the only thing that reminded her of Joel), she decides that she went far enough, she doesn’t get any moment to shine in the whole game, and doesn’t even complete her goal. Then we have Abby, first with no backstory and only 20 minutes of playing with her, she kills Joel, and that was very poorly executed, because after killing Joel we have to play with her like for 15 hours, and all their attempts for us to get to empathize with her fail, because of her killing Joel, with no backstory at the time. This is not a good game, it kills many fan favorites, and doesn’t do them justice. They killed the highlight of the first game and my own personal favorite character (Joel), and then they made Ellie suffer more than she should. In my opinion they should just leave the game here, and don’t follow the story anymore.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una porquería, el hecho de intentar ser inclusivos con las relaciones hacia las personas de la comunidad LGBTI es algo bueno, pero el haber matado a un personaje tan querido y amado por los jugadores fue algo que tuvo un golpe demasiado doloroso para todos, aún peor que al final ella perdonará a quién mató a Joel, no me quejo de los personajes, pero pudieron darle una mejor trama a la historia secuestrando y no asesinando a Joel y es por esto que le doy está calificación… 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]
