    Me pareció un juego increíble al principio creía que era malo por todas las opiniones negativa del final pero no me resultó para nada malo me gustó muchos de los comentarios que leí después de terminar el juego eran burlas de el final pero me pareció un final apropiado no puedo pensar en un final mejor me gusto

    Incredible game with unparalleled gameplay, and an incredibly moving story and characters. Everything I was hoping for and so much more. The Collector's Edition came in impressive packaging, and the Ellie statue was as detailed and beautiful as it was heavy. I didn't expect that kind of quality for the price.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the game a lot. I don't 100% understand why everyone is getting so annoyed and upset at the game. I would give this game an 8 only because there are a few things that could have made the game better. Number 1, a better way for Joel's death. Joel starts to get up yanks the golf club out of Abby's hands hits her in the legs, she falls and Joel gets shot in the face (it probably never would have happened but it would have been a better way for Joel to go out. Number 2, why was Abby's character development really bad, it made sense why she killed Joel as he killed her father but the could have made so much more out of that instead of including all her friends. If they just focused on the relationship between Abby and her dad (like Joel & Ellie) instead of all the different characters and their feelings it would have been a lot better. Otherwise, I believed the game was really well made and it was fun to go through. I would 100% recommend the game.… Expand

    It's not a sequel that everyone wanted. That part is clear as day. Some of the content I love so much, and some parts I just hate a lot. I think it's hard to give a score with certainty. The new characters are so boring and poorly written, I couldn't care less about them. That part is bad. But the whole concept of vengeance, story structure and even ending is good to me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphically, and gameplay-wise, part II was so much better than the first. Story-wise, each game does a great job at drawing out different emotions, from fear, anger, hatred, disgust, and love. The first game will forever be the best game I have ever played, however, part II is a close second. It’s obvious that this game is divisive, for obvious reasons, however, this doesn’t make me hate the decisions made by developers and directors. It shows that every horrible action you do will catch up to you at some point, like it does for Joel. Getting Abby’s backstory put her actions in place. She was angry, sad, and wanted revenge for Joel killing her dad, who was wanting to do the right thing. Although his murder was brutal, it was necessary. I love Joel, even if he didn’t make the right choices, he showed remorse that if he had the chance to do it all over again, he would. He saved Ellie selfishly and killed very important people in the firefly community, which I disagreed with but I love Joel and if I was in his position I would probably do the same. As well as Abby. If my dad was killed for trying to save the world, I would seek revenge. This game left me confused, but after further reflection, I came to peace with it, just like the first game. If you are looking to play the game, keep an open mind and know that the developers didn’t create this story with the intent of pissing you off. Everything happens for a reason. Happy gaming.… Expand

    Story was all over the place and honestly just made me miss the first game. No new memorable Characters except Dina and Jeremy. Abby was unsympathetic and i didn't feel bad for her crew.

    The Last of Us Part II is a great game. I would rate it an 8.5, but I can't so I'll round down. The game is visually stunning. Gorgeous lighting and environmental effects make the experience that much more immersive.

Gorgeous lighting and environmental effects make the experience that much more immersive. The base combat system is very similar to the first game, but it gets broken up through various takedowns and quick time event-style fights. In terms of story, Naughty Dog took many risks with this game. I feel that the story is gripping, and it elevates the medium while other games tend to focus on more cookie cutter style narratives. Every story decision in this game is explained...eventually. The game relies heavily on its nonlinear narritive. For example, the game uses many flashbacks and repeated timelines with different characters to tell its story. It works very well in most parts of the game, but it grows tiresome as the game moves along. Also, some segments of the game involved too much looting and shooting. I would find myself getting bored during some of the overlong segements where I was tasked to traverse the city, especially when there was no companion along for the journey. All of that being said, it is a wonderful video game. It packs as much, if not more, of an emotional punch compared to the first game. The mood and tone are much darker in this sequel, and moments of levity are sparse. This is a project that I feel should be experienced by all gamers. It is boldly written and visually stunning. The game's developers don't provide fan service or give the audience what they expect. The constant subversion is part of what makes this game a must-play.… Expand

I really feel like after you get over Joel’s death, and let go of it all, you can really start to have some more fun. I’m not completely done with the game, but I have played a major chunk of it. I liked Abby as she was built on as a character, and no, she isn’t some special representation character, she’s just some girl named Abby. At a point in the game, I really just started to feel bad about everything I had done as Ellie, and it really takes you for a bit of a guilt trip.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. honestly Joel’s death didn’t surprise me. i knew from the 2016 trailer that’s Joel was in Ellie’s head and always thought that nothing could make her want revenge this badly if it wasn’t Joel getting killed in a horrible way. i didn’t get spoiled before the game, but i thought the first 50% of this game was perfect. seeing joel die so early just made me so angry and i felt like i was with ellie mourning him and just wanted to kill every last one of them. logically, his death makes sense. he killed a lot of people and i’d be more concerned if he didn’t get any repercussions for it. i was prepared for brutal and that’s what i got. the scene felt like it was acted perfectly and although joel didn’t get last words or anything that makes sense in this apocalyptic world - some things just don’t happen the fairytale way - as much as that **** sucks. and then we get to the 50% mark. i was so invested into ellie, jesse just died, it’s abby and ellie coming face to face and then boom - cut to black. then the realization that you have to play every seattle day over as abby???? i was floored. i did not care one second ab this **** and the game gave me flashbacks within flashbacks forcing me to care and it just didn’t happen. i wouldn’t have minded the scene where the player realizes the surgeon was abby’s dad, because that’s story development. i wouldn’t have even minded the scene where abby and lev meet and you see a little into that relationship for story development. but 10 **** hours??? i couldn’t. the ending - i get. i think ellie not killing abby wasn’t because she didn’t think joel wouldn’t have wanted her to. (because if abby had killed ellie, joel would’ve **** her up so fast). but i think ellie didn’t kill abby because she realized that lev would be affected the same way she was (ellie said “just take him” and not something like “just go and live”) and that ellie’s mental state would’ve decreased knowing she did the exact same things as abby - because ellie is a good person. and abby is not. abby spent years of her life waiting and planning to kill - torture - joel and took pleasure from it and was not affected in the slightest afterwards. when she knew dina was pregnant she looked pleased when she was about to kill her. **** psychopath. ellie was so blinded by her need for revenge that she did **** up things too - don’t get me wrong. when she tortured nora, she was visibly shaken afterwards because she’s still human. when she found out mel was pregnant after killing her she was physically sick and messed up because she’s still human - as one should be. but abby? that **** a cyborg.
    it’s not a terrible dog **** game - it’s just a game that many people don’t like - because of abby. the last of us is my favorite and abby messed this up for me. also petition for ashley johnson to get an award for this. top notch performance.    … 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...

    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]
