    tremendo juegazo en el aspecto gráfico y en el gameplay pero tiene un bajón en la historia por su ritmo pero aun así lo considero un juegazo

El juego me encantó, realmente no logré entender por qué le ha caído tanto odio, digo, es una experiencia e historia diferente al primer juego pero precisamente por eso es genial, si tuviéramos más de lo mismo sería repetitivo y simplemente se sentiría como algo hecho sin ganas.
    El único punto malo que le pondría sería que ellie perdonó a Abby siendo que yo como jugador la mataría por todo lo que hizo, a mí no me fue posible empatizar con Abby y siempre desee que en serio muriera, pero creo que con ese final logró ser inesperado y marcar al jugador.
    El final se me hizo completamente desgarrador, casi lloro al ver que Ellie perdió todo y al tocar la guitarra y recordar a Joel es un golpe nostálgico muy fuerte para todos, Dina la abandonó y ahora ella está devastada, es un mal sabor de boca el que queda pero por la tragedia y no por que la obra sea mala, no todas las historias tienen final feliz y TLOU 2 es una de esas con final trágico que a más de uno le hará sentir lástima y melancolía.    … Expand

    Phenomenal gameplay and graphics paired with a great story. Some pacing and execution problems take a point away. Anyone rating this below a 5 is an idiot.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great story, and many many hours of gameplay, it took me 31 hours to finish the game in hard mode... Still tho, it feels like many of those hours are spent on searching for collectibles and doesn't feel like real gameplay, besides the satisfaction of having the platinum, it could be Lil bit better if those collectibles provide actual gameplay, and not just walking around and kill 1 or 2 infected once In a while... Many of those artefacts were useless and did not provide anything important to the main story.
    And maybe, just maybe could have been a Lil bit more of free will, like leaving the choice to the players who lives and who dies instead of just putting it in there as a cinematic, perhaps your ambition made you forget that this is a game and not a movie    … Expand

    Только сейчас прошёл игру, в отличие от большинства "критиков", которые написали обзор на всю игру спустя несколько часов после релиза. Изначально относился довольно скептически, т.к. подозревал, что вся игра будет строится вокруг лгбт тематики, что оказалось совсем не так. За всю игру насчитал примерно 5+- таких упоминаний (причём почти все были абсолютно ненавязчивыми). Ну и если в 2020Только сейчас прошёл игру, в отличие от большинства "критиков", которые написали обзор на всю игру спустя несколько часов после релиза. Изначально относился довольно скептически, т.к. подозревал, что вся игра будет строится вокруг лгбт тематики, что оказалось совсем не так. За всю игру насчитал примерно 5+- таких упоминаний (причём почти все были абсолютно ненавязчивыми). Ну и если в 2020 вас тригерят лесбиянки и т.д., то земля пухом чё)) Ну а теперь ближе к самой игре:
    Честно, не понимаю, почему так много людей недовольны сюжетом, потому что он абсолютно нормальный с интересными поворотами, очень много флэшбеков Элли или некоторые катсцены вообще доводили меня до мурашек. Игра пытается донести правильные мысли, пытается показать что хорошо, а что плохо, пытается вывести на какие то чувства и т.д. Конечно на 10 из 10 сюжет не вытягивает, но он не плох.
    Про геймплей: я играл на "выживании" и поэтому почти каждая локация это был некий челендж. Мало ресов, сложный стелс, сильные враги и т.д. Для меня геймплей не был скучный, хотя можно было бы его сделать слегка разнообразнее. В принципе он не сильно отличается от геймплея 1 части. Кстати, понравились перки. Они почти все полезные и зачастую было сложно выбирать, что же лучше сейчас прокачать, в отличие от прокачки оружия. Некоторые апгрейды уж совсем беспонтовые (и таких примерно половина).
    Не знаю вообще, будет ли это кто то читать или нет, для меня была единственная цель - поднять немного рейтинг игры, которая не заслуживает такой низкой оценки дурачков, которых тригерит лгбт тематика в игре.
    Ну вроде всё... Респект Нил Дракманну за то, что показал в игре то, что он хотел. Респект Ноти Догу за то, что сделали, наверное лучшую игру за последние несколько лет на пс. Я кайфовал от каждого момента, проведённого в этой игре (кроме одной локи с огромным количеством врагов... ну зачем????)
    п.с.: гомофобы и челики у которых нет этой игры, но которые яро пишут негативные отзывы - идите нахер )))    … Expand

    Сила у тех кто громче кричит, и большинство пойдет за ними. Когда нам что то нравится мы не особо об этом говорим, но если вдруг не понравится то об этом узнает весь мир, люди напишут и скажут об этом где только можно!
    Мне очень понравилась игра The Last of Us 2! Да в ней есть повестка, и что с того, мне абсолютно наплевать кто там кого любит. Эбби перекачанная, ну хорошо что после стрессов она не обжиралась а в зал шла, не окунулась в депрессию а жила местью. А как поступили бы вы? Джоэла убили, а вы чего хотел бессмертного Джоэла ? Как "Игру Престолов" хвалить за смелость под шум толпы так и "The Last of Us 2" хоронить под шум той же толпы!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game sits somewhere between a 7 and an 8 for me. It's no where near the masterpiece that was the first game, however it brings to the realities of living in a post apocalyptic world.
    Most people hate the story, and understandably it takes away one of our favourite characters, that we've come to love over and over again with the first game. Using a character we have no knowledge or love for to kill Joel is upsetting to say the least. The game then forces you to walk a few miles in Abby's shoes, to make you feel a sort of empathy for her. Whilst I continued to dislike Abby throughout the game we saw her begin to change. Where she had been lost before, her only purpose to seek revenge, now she wants to do some good. The character building was slightly weak, she had a very back and white attitude within the first few hours of gameplay and seemed to take great pleasure in killing, which is the complete opposite to Ellie.
    Abby is somewhat a reflection of Joel. When we first met Joel he was selfish and only did something if something was in it for him. We see Joel develop over time as he is made to take Ellie on this journey. I see a lot of this in Abby when she meets Lev. Her goals and perspective changethroughout the game, and her journey becomes about hope of a new beginning.
    There are weaknesses in the story. I for one did not like the idea of trying to kill Ellie as Abby. Why the developer thought this was a good isea, I don't know. I still disliked Abby at this point and it was my least favourite part of the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *My first recommendation to someone looking to play this game, replay the first game before playing this. I think it really makes all the moments in the first half of the game feel even more powerful than they already are.*

    I think this game is getting way too bad of a wrap from a lot of people who either
    A) read the spoilers and never even gave the game a playthrough or..
    B) watched a streamer speed run it, paying zero attention to what the game was trying to portray

    It goes without saying that the graphics and gameplay are incredible as you would expect from this game, but this obviously isn't everyone's problem with the game.
    Joel: for everyone complaining about Joel's death, replay the first game before you play this and try not to get so mad when your favorite character dies (I don't remember people crying when Ned Stark got his head chopped off). Joel serves as a catalyst for Ellie's story in this game and it his death was very emotional for me keeping in mind a played both games back to back. This probably made it a more impactful death.
    Abby: by far the best part of this game (very controversial apparently). Her story is very similar to Joel's in the first game where she starts off very dehumanized because of your hatred for her after she kills Joel, but as the game goes on she regains a lot of that humanity (in the same way as Joel) by her protection of Yara and Lev. Everyone seems to be so blinded by their hatred for Abby that they refuse to even attempt to let Abby grow on them, and by that point, you can't ever develop an honest opinion on the game.
    Ellie: they push Ellie's bloodlust so far in this game that I began to dislike Ellie which I think was the entire point. i think you're supposed to see Ellie as unreasonable in her quest for revenge primarily to make you better understand Abby's side. Especially with Ellie going back to try kill Abby again at the end, it becomes so psychotic that you just start to lose it at Ellie, she has a family to look after now and she is selfish enough to still go for revenge. It's effective in the way that by the very end you don't want to kill Abby whereas I'm sure we all would've loved to at the start.
    Flashbacks: really effective for both characters development, especially Ellie's at the end of the game which helps you empathize with Ellie again

    Problems:
    A) The ending isn't the best, although I'm not annoyed that badly that Ellie goes back for Abby in the end, I think her forcing Abby to fight her was crazy as **** and probably too far. I think by that point Ellie should've just let her go straight up and that would've been more effective in resolving their conflict (Abby had already suffered enough by that point).
    B) The ordering is a bit off, I think it could've been interesting to put Abby's portion right after she kills Joel and maybe you would've felt more conflicted about Ellie taking revenge when you actually play as her rather than after the fact. But even if they changed this I think most people would still hate Abby irrationally.
    C) in playing as Abby for so long you do get a little lost in what Ellie is even fighting for (mainly just a problem with the massive gap in time between playing as Ellie and Abby)

    TL;DR
    An overall really solid game with some flaws that are way overstated. Abby is easily the best part of the game and stole the show for me. The game fails with redeeming Ellie's actions as she becomes more and more obsessed with revenge (which was probably the point). And no, there is no SJW agenda in this game, anyone saying that is probably just scared of gay and non-gender conforming people.    … Expand

These decision reflect the desperate and cold world they live and have to survive in. You can feel the characters pain and desperate situations they are in.    Another masterpiece by Naughtydog!

    I hate zombie games and movies (except Zombieland and World War Z). I hate horrors.
    But I loved TLoU1 thanks to the story and relation between Joel and Ellie.
    The Part II is built on this relation, which was complicated by what Joel did and told at the end of Part 1. There are even some scenes in the same time as the Part 1, so we can live those time once again. But the weight of    I hate zombie games and movies (except Zombieland and World War Z).

    But the weight of the second story is much more heavy. I felt like a Charlie Sheen in Platoon - I could observe two similar persons eaten by hate and violence (somehow similar to Sheen observing two sergeants). And like in the Platoon similar persons become totally different. One chose hate to the end for any cost, even its own best friends and loved ones. The second... is changing on our eyes and chose redemption, compassion and hope.

    Meanwhile I could also watch the war, it's chaos and lies. At the end of the game I did what I could to not kill anymore if didn't need it, as I understood that what I was thinking about enemies before was simply not true - both sides had their rights and both were run by lunatics. And because the game shows violence so strong, I felt like I would really kill. And I felt these kills were bad.

    It was great adventure and great story. But still I hated the zombie parts - that's why I take 1 point from 10 and my honest score is strong 9.    … Expand

I love the last of us so f***ing much but like I hate that the trailers lied about Joel being alive like seeing Joel die was so heart breaking on so many levels cause I cried and stopped playing TLOU2 for 2 days after it's release. Then the ending Wasn't what I expected I thought we was gonna kill Abby cause she killed Joel I mean ik her story cause I just beat the game about 3 minutes ago but at the end I wanted to kill her. Welp hopefully there will be TLOU3 coming in 2030 of the ps5 or 6 or Next Gen of Gaming until then see you all later. Overall the game was amazing love the story and game play… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog handled this game in such a poor manner it's depressing. Misleading the public any way they can in order to trick people into playing a game they think they're going to get when instead the directors wanted to kill people's hope for a game building up over the past 7 years all to be edgy and tell a somehow unfinished revenge story that becomes far too convoluted and whimsical with it's potholes and clearly forced narratives. That sentence was too long, much like this game. The message that was supposed to be conveyed here is fairly easy to grasp. It's all about perspective and how someone is going to be a bad guy in another story; but it never actually comes full circle and the choices these beloved characters made don't flesh them out or further this message, they just go against reason to try and prove it. The character of... Abbie? Abby? I don't even care about her. Anyways, you can't just have a character kill off what has been building up for years and expect many players to go into the experience with a smile and an open mind. I'm sure everyone was happy to see Abby shot by Ellie when you fail the stealth sequence in the theater, I know I sure was. Just watch some youtube videos on how this game just completely dissolves in it's own bile. Also people don't dislike this game because it has two lesbians in it they dislike it because the characters suck (Besides Jesse, bless that man) and people feel manipulated @game critics who can't understand people have different opinions from them and AREN'T racist/bigoted. Thanks for nothing, upper management at Naughty Dog/game directors, just make another Jak and Daxter or something.… 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.

    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]
