    En mecánicas, jugabilidad y gráficos es uno de los juegos más avanzados de la generación. Qué te guste o no la historia es algo muy personal, pero su objetivo principal de un videojuego de entretener y al menos en las 24 horas de juego me olvide de todo y pase un excelente rato.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. espere 7 años y entregan esto historia absurda destruyendo un personaje perfectamente construido.
    Con esto se da a entender q los graficos no lo es todo peor destruyendo una muy buena historia
    spoiler el final del juego se resume a una frase del chavo del 8 en especifico de don ramon
    "La venganza nunca es buena mata el alma y la envenena", por favor ellie después de masacrar a tantos le viene el sentimiento de q esta mal el matar a abby, por lo menos hayan dado a escoger si asesinarla o asesinarla, ya cada uno tenía ese cargo de conciencia
    me da rabia esperar tanto por algo así peor de gastar dinero en esa cosa ya estoy en plan de devolución

    I wanted to like this so much as i loved the first game. Unfortantly its terrible. And not for any of the reason that the anti lgbtq folks are bothered about. The gameplay is so repetitive I had a really hard time getting past that. Also it feels exactly like the first game but with better graphics. There are so many failed attempts and ideas here.

    Naughty dog just effectively killed the last of us IP with this game. RIP
    Just like GOT writes, i hope he never again in his life touches another beloved story like tlou52

    Not perfect but definitely not as terrible as the user reviews suggest. The main issue with the game is the story pacing, you’ll constantly have flashbacks and even flashbacks within flashbacks but the game is enjoyable overall. Not a masterpiece but definitely well polished and has pretty cool moments.

    Don't listen to the critic reviews. This game is a POOR sequel to a beautiful story. If you're thinking about playing, reading or watching through the story, don't. For the Last of Us franchise, in this entry's case, ignorance is bliss.

    I avoided spoilers and played the game, the moment I finished the game, I was sad. I tried to convince myself that the game was actually good and that
    Don't listen to the critic reviews. This game is a POOR sequel to a beautiful story. If you're thinking about playing, reading or watching through the story, don't. For the Last of Us franchise, in this entry's case, ignorance is bliss.

    I avoided spoilers and played the game, the moment I finished the game, I was sad. I tried to convince myself that the game was actually good and that was why I was sad. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I was lying to myself. I was jaded because I realized we lost what could have been, the potential squandered. This game didn't need to exist, in fact it detracts from the first one because now you know what happens, every time I think of The Last of Us part 1, my nostalgia is interrupted by a wave of resentment for what happens next in the installment. This. Game. Didn't. Need. To. Be. Made. I've never regretted playing a video game, usually I become wistful and remember all the fun I had, wishing I could forget and replay it again. In this case, I regret playing it at all. Gone are the heartwarming moments from the first game, gone are the character developments made, replaced by hours of just purely exhaustive violence, I love a good blood splat but damn this game drags it out for so long without a break.

    Characters are built partway only to be killed and the emotional consequence of their death is explained 8-7 hours later, but by that point the player doesn't care because A. I've brutally killed hundreds of these enemies and B. it was such a long time ago, I don't even remember why they were significant. The revenge plot is handled poorly, even Destiny 2, known for it's mediocre story, the Destiny 2 Forsaken DLC had a better revenge plot and a better send off for the beloved character that was killed. Now that I think about it, the Last Of Us 2 has the almost exact same premise as Forsaken even down to the "Revenge has consequences" theme. It's sad that Neil Druckmann won't acknowledge criticism and instead is making fun of people like me. He is touting this game as "art". However, slapping an "art" label on something doesn't mean it should automatically be revered, art can be bad and in this case I truly think it is. I wish Naughty Dog released a DLC that's just a 20 second scene, with Ellie waking up from a nightmare and saying "huh thank god it was just a dream", because then ND would have a shot of remaking it into something incredible. Sadly, that won't happen. This game is video game's equivalent to Game of Thrones Season 8.

    I'm getting tired of my favorite mediums of entertainment being hijacked and turned into a means to push a political agenda. Yes this game does that too, I have no ill will towards women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and the majority of players don't either. The popularity around Games such as Horizon Zero Dawn, the Resident Evil series, hell even the Uncharted series and the first Last Of Us proves that. Just because we don't like this specific medium that incorporates these elements, doesn't mean we're bigots and it's not a valid justification for why the story was poorly made. My favorite character in the game was a member of these groups and his story was compelling. Games are mediums through which the player can escape reality, if you're going to shove in your political ideology and agenda, you have to make that person's story as compelling as everyone else's and not let it be their defining trait, If anything it does a disservice to people it is meant to represent. This is show not tell 101.

    If you want a heartfelt story about a parental figure and the moral ambiguities about your character's actions, play God of War or the first Last of Us. If you want a story that tells an underlying story about the pitfalls of revenge and people trying to better themselves through struggle, play Red Dead Redemption 2. If you want to remember The Last of Us as a good story, don't play this one, it leaves you tired with a foul taste in your mouth. Ironic that this story is about loss and I too have felt loss, just not in the way ND intended.

    This was a HUGE waste of my money and time. How can an extremely story based game have the most pathetically written plot that spits in the face of players everywhere. Ruining well established characters for the sake of what? Social virtue signaling, maybe? How do I get a refund? I feel like I deserve to be reimbursed for my invested time too.

    There was definitely time, effort and passion put into this game. Its just..the turns the story takes..I just don't understand. Anyone can be a victim of circumstance. That lesson was taught and explored with The Last of Us Part 1. I'm just lost as to what exactly the take-away with the narrative is suppose to be and I believe many others feel the same.

    Graphics amazing. Gameplay is fine. Soundtrack stunning. Narrative brave to actual disrespect the fan base. Brave to destroy everything the game was built on. Brave to waste about 10 hours of gamers time on someone who is unlikable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start off by saying, I support the LGBTQ community, I'm a part of it as well. I don't have a problem with Abby being buff, I don't have a problem with trans people.. I don't have a problem with Joel dying, BUT.. but the story was so poorly executed.. Here are the positives and the negatives of the game:

    POSITIVE:

    - Sound
    - Visuals
    - Voice acting
    - Gameplay
    - Fighting /shooting mechanics
    - accessibility settings for visually impaired people

    NEGATIVES:

    - False advertising, making the buyers think that Joel and Ellie are going to team up. - Not issuing refunds, like wtf??? - Deleting negative reviews, paying off media to preach the game.. - Ellie's immunity didn't mean **** in part II. They missed the opportunity to create a story around that.
    - So much **** was going on around the fireflies and they were just "simply" wiped out in 4 years.

    - Joel's, Tommy's character build up from the first game meant NOTHING next to a 3 second screentime surgeon and 10minute background on Abby.

    - Killing Joel off 2 hours into the game in such a disrespectful way, by a playable character.. By a character that only got a 10 minute backstory and the game was basically forcing you to feel sorry for her.

    - Making Tommy and Joel look like they trust people easily in an apocalyptic environment, where killing is surviving.

    - Making Abby, a playable character and forcing us to play against Ellie. (makes no sense at all), the players would have swallowed Abby as a character if she were to team up with Ellie and fight against a mutual enemy (without killing Joel lol)

    - Even after everything, Ellie loses her fingers, JJ and Dina + leaves Abby alive but kills a pregnant woman. Umm?

    - A very graphic sex scene of Abby.. Awkward, should have made a sex scene with ellie and dina lol.. - Overall story.

    They could have made the story so much better.. They could have dropped the cure thingy in the story, maybe a war with the fireflies or the cannibals.. Maybe something about Ellie's backstory (family), Abby joining the town and fighting against a mutual enemy, a little bromance between abby dina and ellie if you want to push LGBTQ so badly.. Joel getting bitten and they are rushing to find fireflies and a cure.. Maybe realizing that there are other people outside their town where they already found the cure and are living normally, so Joel + Ellie are going on an adventure like the old times, Abby comes into the story, helps them..little drama around her father etc etc, ANYTHING could have been better.. It's just poor writing and execution.. The game looks fantastic, amazing visuals, amazing voice acting, i love the new creatures, the snowing details, the dogs, etc! BUT unfortunately, this game is a STORY BASED game, most people play it for the story not the gameplay, and it disappointed us all..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The scene where fans and anti-fans fight. It's like the Colosseum. Clearly, however, the game is unpleasant and unreasonable. It is not a social philosophy or a feeling of discomfort that comes from facing stark reality, but rather a feeling of displeasure as if it were looking at maggots. Expand

La historia es floja, no lleva continuidad con el juego anterior, la jugabilidad es la misma que el 1, solo con una historia lineal y llena de “coincidencias”. Muchos comentan de que por el tema lgbt que no les gusto el juego, y es que en ND se ve totalmente que quisieron ponerle reflectores a ese asunto, dejando de lado lo importante que es la accion, historia, personajes memorables, coherencia. A los desarrolladores se les olvido lo que hace bueno a un juego. Expand

    Excelente Gameplay, desenvolvimento muito bom, Gráficos e expressões Surreais, porém deixa muito a desejar na história e na forma como denegriram a imagem dos personagens que foram criados e trabalhados no 1° jogo, simplesmente ignoraram tudo para apenas fazer a lacração de sempre...

    An unbelievably great game. Loved the first one and loved part 2 just as much. Was so obsessed with finding out how it ends that I played it through in 2 days. And it’s very replayable and I plan on starting it again tonight. If you enjoyed the first one, you will enjoy this.

    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]
