    Doy esta mala nota. No por los gráficos o por la jugabilidad. Realmente la historia era todo para mi en este juego y lo arruinaron. No estoy en contra de la historia, pero hay que saber cuándo son los momentos indicados para lo que va a acontecer con cada personaje de la historia principal. No es malo generar lastima, pero creo que desde mi opinión el juego da un mal sabor de boca. MeDoy esta mala nota. No por los gráficos o por la jugabilidad.

    Could have been the best game of all time, but it suffered from a bad narrative.
    I got the game early, I liked the world, but hated every character in it.

    A sequel that feels completely unnecessary and does not justify its own existence, nor does it even give a proper payoff once you finish just a feeling of emptiness wondering why you even played, what was the point of it all. All while destroying the franchise for the sake of “storytelling”.

    Do not buy if you played the last of us 1.

    Everybody should just act like this game doesn’t exist.

    Got season 8 is a 10/10 compared to this

    The game is empty

    The developers put a shower into the graphics, but forgot about everything else.

    Only nostalgic feelings in the first part lead you through it, in itself - a dummy

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Flashbacks insult the viewers intelligence, while also not establishing emotional sympathy. Like I would have cared more had Joel's death not come in the first 2 hours of the game, then the game is spent using him in flashbacks. What's the point of killing him if he shows up every 2 chapters?

    Why do I care about any of these flashbacks if he's already dead? Flashbacks are used when you think a viewer can't recall information or you're telling something **outside of the larger narrative.** When all of the flashbacks happen within the time-line of The Last of Us-The Last of Us II. It doesn't make sense to tell them as flashbacks, if even they are vignettes of the characters life during "peace time" it doesn't make sense to constantly jump to them in the middle of a war.

    I don't care about "ye olde good days" if they have no real barring on the current situation besides being a late exposition/lore dump, that again could have been told within the cannon narrative timeline.

    Why make me sympathetic to a character after they kill off the main cast, if you're gonna spend half the story on them? It makes the viewer resent the character and makes it harder to care for their plight and establish a connection.    … Expand

    The gameplay inherits the usual level of naughty dogs, but the gameplay is not as rich and rich as the level. The battle and narrative rhythm are chaotic. Poor narrative techniques and irrational stories make the performance of the whole game worse.

    The story and characters are an insult to not only the players but also the first game in the series. The game is VERY short (a couple hours) and has almost no real gameplay. The entire couple hour journey is just walking from one cutscene to the next doing your best to disregard the ugliest characters you've ever seen.

    Avoid at all costs. I'm only giving this a 1/10 because    The story and characters are an insult to not only the players but also the first game in the series.

    I would love to give this abomination a 0 but something tells me that I should give it at least a 1.

Now for the worst part about the game. the story isn't very coherent. you wont really understand the motivations of the character your playing for the majority of the game, and at one point you will probably hate the way the story railroads you into trying to like certain characters. over all the game is at best a 6 but my person take on what i would score it for the price of the game and the wait for THIS game and the characters we originally loved, and the way they were implemented into the game, it gets a 1.… Expand

    As a game overall it's a 6/10.

    but ... Intentionally misled us with marketing techniques that legally wasn't false advertising but their toe was right there on the line. Lose a point. Their "Crunch" practices that caused around 80% of their dev team to quit and probably contributed to the leaks. Lose a point. DCMA strikes on anyone's youtube who even talked about the leaks.

    In reality, unrealistic things often happen.
    But probability is important in literary works.
    Literary works are fake. Because it is fake, it has to be a more plausible story than reality to be accepted by the public.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful Visuals, upgraded gameplay, new environments, enemies and mechanics.... and I still absolutely hated this game. It would not be hyperbole for me to say The last of us is my absolute favorite thing across any medium. Whether it's movie's books or other video games, The last of us stands above all for me.. so after 7 years of waiting, to be presented with this story I am absolutely disgusted. Naughty Dog and Neil Druckman have absolutely failed this fan base and more importantly they failed Ellie. The sad attempt to humanize the character who brutally murders Joel was completely deplorable. Never have I spent so much time saying out loud during a game "I Don't Care!" as when I was forced to spend nearly half this game playing as Joels killer. News Flash Naughty Dog, nobody gives a damn about Abby. I literally made her die multiple times just because I hated her character so much. How you can possibly justify dedicating hours and hours of gameplay on her is nothing short of lunacy. Not to mention the list of supporting characters that get almost no development during that horrendous chunk of the gameplay. I got to a point where I did not want to play this game. It was so pathetically bad that I called Gamestop to try and return my Collectors edition. I thought to myself, "I'm willing to forgive all this garbage if only to see Ellie get her revenge". But no Naughty Dog... you screwed that up too. I have played the original Last of us 15 times through and can say without question that Ellie would not have let Abby just walk away. She deserved justice, she deserved better. Then at the end you just couldn't resist dicking her over a little more. Should we have Dina waiting to console her... Nahhh. Maybe tommy?... nahhh maybe we should let her keep her fingers so she can have a way to remember Joel by playing the Guitar... nahhh. The absolute failure of this game is reminiscent of The Last Jedi. You set yourselves up with the game of the decade. A game universally praised by critics and Fans alike. Yet you completely disembarked from all the things that made the first game such a masterpiece. Not to mention how you straight up Lied to everyone with your BS trailers depicting Joel in Seattle with Ellie. I don't know how this game could possibly get a score above like a 3 but these critics seem to be more interested in riding Naughty Dogs dick than calling them out. I can only give this game.a score higher than zero because of the relationship built between Dina and Ellie. A relationship and dichotomy you throw out the window halfway through the game and then completely torch at the end. Congratulations. You ruined my favorite Story. You have made the original Last of us virtually unplayable. I would've rather you never made a sequel than watch you disrespect and ruin the legacy of Ellie and Joel. I sincerely hope you're company will listen to the fans and address your failure. But I somehow doubt it.… Expand

    There was a vision... and whoever is responsible for that vision misled an incredibly capable team of people into producing an abysmal disappointment of a game. I feel scammed... If I could return it I would. Any fan of TLOU1 or just good storytelling be warned. You won't just dislike it. You will almost certainly hate it.

    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]
