    No es un juego, es una experiencia. Tienes que entrar en el sin prejuicios, con la mente abierta y el corazón en la mano. Disfruta de sus escenarios y paisajes, la música y del ruido de la naturaleza. Presta atención a cada detalle en los personajes, a sus diálogos, y sus muecas. Es más que un juego, es arte. No quiero que esta historia se acabe.

    Not gonna posts any spoilers but I can say that this was an incredible game start to finish. Despite its controversies I think that it’s a perfect sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This games visuals are outstanding, the gameplay feels adequate although very similar to the original from 2013. 2 points.

    Some effort seems to have been made to improve upon some of the old features but this seems lacking. (Adding a jump button doesn’t really count as groundbreaking) 1 point.

    The character acting and the Mocap work is first rate and second to none and this alone scores 2 points from me.

    Where this game falls apart is in its horrible story, I fell in love with Ellie and Joel from the first game and was promised a continuation of their story, what I got was two characters who acted completely differently to the Ellie and Joel I knew, and other characters I just didn’t care about and abbey infuriated me! Watching her kill Joel Then forcing me to play as her for hours! I quit the game in disgust and refused to play on.

    I have since watched the story through YouTube and it seems I made the right call. It doesn’t get any better, only worse.

    Thankfully Australian law meant I could refund my game so I Didn’t lose any cash over this.

    My recommendation is if you want to see the story watch it on YouTube but if you still really want to play this game wait 6 months and pick It up on sale in the discount bin. That’s were it’s headed.    … Expand

    Но вот если рассматривать игру со стороны сюжета, то он плох. Очень нелогичные повороты сюжета, среди которых максимально глупое убийство Джоэла, пощада Эбби в конце (можно было добавить интерактивности и дать игрокам выбирать самим) и т.д.
    Что касается лгбт повестки, она вписана в игру отлично, особо сюжету не мешает.
    Так что, исходя из этого игру я могу назвать одновременно игрой года и разочарованием года, к сожалению. Всем советую к прохождению    … Expand

    This is a great game and is a perfect sequel. If you're a fan of the TLOU, then you're going to love TLOU 2. Folks that are bombing it, have their heads in the sand for whatever personal reasons and that has nothing to do with the game itself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good:
    1) Very very very photo realistic graphics, light, shadows and etc
    2) Interesting gameplay
    3) Game design
    4) Location atmosphere
    5) Optimisation! Couldnt believe what i can play this game on my PS4(250$) with 30 FPS

    Bad:
    1) Story is so bad, looks like im watching new walking dead serial for fifteen years old girls.
    2) I couldnt understand new characters story, motivations, their decisions
    3) Worst sex scene i ever seen(just my opinion)
    4) Pointless final
    5) A little bit propaganda, but this is not a main bad thing in this game. Don't blame me for it
    6) When Joel died i felt like "oh my god wtf was happened, can i refund?", when other story characters died i felt nothing or "who is it? why should i care about this new character"

    I understand people who rate 0 because for someone it was story about Ellie and Joel. They could spend 60 dollars for seeing what testosterone monster killed Joel and then u have to play as this character. And also i understand people who liked this game. I dont think that my opinion is completely true, but i rate this game 5.5 of 10.    … Expand

Ya pague por ello y no quede conforme los de Naugthy Dog nada pierden ellos, quienes perdemos somos los que pagamos por el juego teniendo grandes espectativas sobre la historia que lo envolveria y al final nos salieron con esa historia, una burla total, la inclusión de personajes de otra índole sexual me parece buena y no tengo problemas en ello, solo la historia es el problema… Expand

    The game was an absolute disappointment. The developers did a terrible job. The story was lackluster and forced politics onto its users. Even without that notion, the story was empty and downright tonedeaf of its fanbase. Would not buy, do not waste your money or listen to the lying game journalists

    The graphics are good, And there don’t seem to be many bugs. However combat seems the same as part 1, not better or worse. For those things I give the game about 5 points. On the other hand, I didn’t enjoy the story. At all...if I had paid full price for this game I would have definitely felt like druckman was ramming his dry bird up my arse too.

    This is a Must Play for anyone who owns a PlayStation 4 it definitely lived up to the hype and delivers on an amazingly detailed world, a very intricate and complex to master combat system and an exceptional and emotional story.

The handling of Joel and Ellie in this was a true betrayal to me as a fan of the first game and trying to make us sympathize with Joel's killer... really idiotic and the people who collectively thought this was a good idea need to be fired.The inclusion of multiplayer definitely could've saved this from being a steaming hot pile of **** but til then, Last of Us Part 2...

Even if he has to get his hands dirty. I loved it. When I saw Joel get viciously murdered in front of elly. I had my heart torn out. I just didn't want to play anymore.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I decided to create an account just to review this game specifically. The divide between "professional" video game critics and your "typical" gamer is appaling and surreal. That's right, I'm looking at you IGN, AGAIN. Why in the world are the ratings so polarized? Are big video game critics afraid to go against a "progressive" game that make use of "non-traditional" protagonist in fear that they will trigger some media outrage? I am convinced big video game critics are pressured into a biased approach which unfortunately renders them useless. People don't trust big companies like IGN for video game reviews.

    On a good note, the acting/voice acting was good. The technical aspect of the game was good as well. The art behind the game was amazing and stunning. Unfortunately, people don't usually play video game to stare at the amazing decor.

    On a bad note, the game's story literally makes no sense. I have no idea what the writers behind this story were thinking. I don't give a damn about the fact that the game really tried to push this "SJW" ideology onto the player. Gay, trans, lesbian, man, woman, deer, I don't care what the character identify as. It's all fine by me and its probably the case for the vast majority of players. A lot of response to this well deserve criticism will obviously be brushed off as "trans hate, LGBTQ hate, etc". That's not the case. The story was utterly butchered to the point where I didn't care anymore. The last 2 hours of the game are useless and kill the game. Even if the story was trash, It should have ended at an OBVIOUS point but it didn't. I dont understand why you guys tried to push it that far again. It didnt have to go there and it was obvious. On top of the bad story, the story telling was so disorienting. After playing as the 2nd protagonist for multiple hours, you enter a state of mind where you don't even care about the main storyline. I get what you tried to do but it practically did not work.

    Anyways, I'm going to stop here and give it a 4 out of 10 out of pity for the technical and artistic team because they actually did theyre job properly unlike others. Try focusing on a good organic storyline like you did in the first game and the rest will follow through.    … 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]
