    No puedo creer que la gente está calificando mal el juego por el hecho de que no les gustó cierta parte de la historia o "les rompió el corazón", o hasta en cierta parte, que no es igual que el primero. The Last of Us (1 y 2) no es un juego con una historia bonita, es un juego realista y crudo, las muertes que contiene el juego no son malas y no es algo nuevo y ha pasado en muchos juegos,No puedo creer que la gente está calificando mal el juego por el hecho de que no les gustó cierta parte de la historia o "les rompió el corazón", o hasta en cierta parte, que no es igual que el primero. The Last of Us (1 y 2) no es un juego con una historia bonita, es un juego realista y crudo, las muertes que contiene el juego no son malas y no es algo nuevo y ha pasado en muchos juegos, series y películas. Neil Druckmann es un genio y nos ha aportado un gran juego con una historia nueva alejada de "el héroe salva a todos". El mismo Troy Baker nos ha dicho que al jugar tengamos una "mente abierta", y de esa manera puedes disfrutar realmente del juego.
    Y, en todo caso, de que en serio no les haya gustado la historia, pues cada quien, pero el juego no merece un calificación menos del 7. No han tomado en cuenta el enorme esfuerzo que le han metido al juego y todo el trabajo que han hecho, el juego no sólo es la historia, sino todo lo que ves, los gráficos, lo inmerso que puede llegar a ser y todo lo relacionado. No se dejen llevar por sus emociones y den una calificación errónea. Compren, jueguen, tengan una mente abierta y disfruten del juego. Vale la pena.    … Expand

    Bueno...quiero aclarar que estoy haciendo esta crítica escuchando el temazo de los créditos del juego. Es un juego excelente, de lo mejor que he jugado en mis 5 años que llevo haciéndolo y su final es épico, cuando parece que ya lo acabas te sorprende con algo más y es lo que lo hace único para mi.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, didn´t realize the hate out there - it made me sign up for metacritic to share my view - i´m german - so there will be some some language barriers, sorry for my english.

    First of all, I didn't read any reviews or watched any trailers, I wanted to experience the game "scar"-like - as a clean slate. I finished TLOU 1 a third time a week ago, to get into the feel for the new game. I played the game in hard, with scavenging on survivor - excellent choice!
    And I just think, this is the one of the best sequels of a game - and here is why:

    ND created a "realistic" world of what would happen, if such an infection were to havoc humanity. Society would collapse and many new forms of societal elements would arise - loners; military; cults; free societies; anarchists and so on. Humans aren't the apex predators anymore in this world - where the cordyceps are "united" in their mission, humanity is not (as nowadays)

    The core is a revenge story: Ellie wants to avenge the brutal murder of her love-hated father figure Joel. He is killed by a psychologically scarred women: Abby - whose father was killed by Joel in the first Part, as he rescues Ellie.

    The game will show you now both sides of the story and will force you to play them as well - two strong women on their personal revenge - and this is where the hate comes from, you as a player are FORCED to play both sides - and I loved it! In this fictitious and life threatening world, both women come to the same conclusion - life is not worth living if you can't forgive. Abby sees "the human" in the two Seraphites she has rescued - and Ellie sees it in Abby, as she finds her weakened, but still caring for her "Foster-Child" Lev. Ellie breaks the circle of unwanted and unconscious violence against each other and the mistakes they made (otherwise she would have scarred a new generation for revenge - Lev). Yes, you kill a lot of other human NPC´s and you don't care - because you don't know their story. This is the point the game is making - especially good in a real society where people are killed by other people flying drones with a joystick from home. The game is really violent - but such is life - normally we try to not look into it...

    But back to the game:

    - the mechanics are somewhat improved to the first one, mayor new feature is prone and you really need it on hard difficulty!!
    - The AI is top notch (it seems that on lower difficulties it isn't, because many people are complaining about it - play the TLOU 1 and check again)
    - Storytelling is great, you get immersed on a roller coaster ride of personal prejudices and you are forced to face them. "Everybody has it's reasons"
    - The graphics are incredible.
    - They should have offered "hard" (with scavenging on "survivor" - otherwise you will always have full resources for everything) as the lowest difficulty - that you as player feel this world - all others should have just watched a TV-Series - if you don't struggle in this game you can not get to the core of this fictitious world.    … Expand

The storyline was a different than your normal this is what it is story. The out of the box thinking of the plot and sad moments in the game are the cement and foundation for the next story in the franchise if ever made and help build the characters to who they are, (some people aren't happy with something that happens early on in the game which I wont spoil), but let's be honest, what would the game be if it had not been what it was, more so upset that the incident happens and that you cant play as that character, it's a video game move on, life happens, would you want to play this game back in 2002 with the graphics back then? Probably not. Due to the storyline you feel emotionally invested in the character(s) and their struggle but the ability to have you see things from other perspectives opens your eyes to new ways of thinking and possibly changing your opinion on why something happens, the games themes of, vengeance blinding reason, karma will get you, acceptance and forgiveness are all clearly shown only if you analyze every emotion, every movement to determine why something is happening. This game is a great game and many are upset for the storyline, but that is one out of hundreds of categories you can rate it for, to me personally, I love this game. When you think you're rooting for one, you may suddenly root for another. Thank you… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a beautiful game. Graphically and Emotionally.

    Joel
    I believe this was necessary for the story. Naughty Dog really wanted to shock the player throughout the game and this was a good shock. I honestly don’t believe any other character dying would propel Ellie on such a journey and that’s why its so powerful. Last game was Joel’s story, this was Ellie’s. Not much needs to be said.

    The next big factor is Abby. At the start, we are made to hate this character but in time, she started to grow on me. After those first three hours or so, when I saw Joel’s life had been taken by this Abby, I despised her. Despised. I generally believed nothing was going to change my opinion about her. Even after I found out her reasoning easily I still hated her because I had an attachment to Joel and Ellie. She only started to really grow on me when we play as her during the second half. Her character is so very intricate. Of course the attachment did not compare to the attachment to Ellie by any stretch of the imagination. All the time, I was playing the game I was being very critical as there are high standards with the first game and I thought to myself, the whole story would essentially makes sense if it was just Ellie hunting down everyone and we didn’t see Abby’s perspective. However, although Abby’s 10 hour-ish journey comes at a very bad time as it slows the pacing down a lot, I think it’s relatively well done as it makes me feel empathy for her to an extent as I see the effect of my actions as Ellie and how it will simply continue this “cycle of violence”.

    I believe this game is meant to start conversation, a necessary one, about the power of hate and “an eye for an eye”. In this game, there is a strong sense of nihilism and bleakness, I came out of this game feeling extremely depressed and sad, there is little to no happiness in this game, except from a few flashbacks - some of the best cutscenes, which are very powerful for character development and few dialogue/scenes. Ellie playing the guitar for Dina in Boston (open-world part) is beautiful and I’m pretty sure this part can be missed if the player chooses not to explore the world fully and I’m lucky to see this scene. I don’t usually write reviews and I know this is ridiculously positive but I tried to find cons and there’s not many. However, this is my opinion, I have seen many reviews that are very negative and they back it up with plot holes and a depressing mood which is fair and I plan to be replay the game to really understand their points. I could tell certain parts of the game were cut, meaning the story didn’t move as fluid as I would like it at certain points however it didn’t really affect this experience for me.
    The ending is quite powerful. Although this game been out for 2-3 days now I’m already done as it was incredibly immersive. At first I was rather disappointed by the end so I went to sit and reflect to realise what really happened. Ellie didn’t kill Abby to break that cycle of violence and leaving the guitar was leaving behind that saga of blood caused by Joel as he “lived” through that guitar - it is powerful but not what any wanted or expected. Genius. Not many people will like this though because revenge wasn’t exacted for Joel and the journey may seem utterly pointless. Abby got to live, Dina leaves Ellie, and Ellie is left alone in a bleak and depressing world. In terms of the characters that join the cast in the second game, they are likeable but getting attached to them just propels the sadness and grief that fills Ellie’s world. I won’t go into much detail about gameplay, all you need to know is that it is ridiculously fluid and spectacular to be honest, the improvements from the first game are small yet incredibly effective, mixed with immense amount of detail put into graphics and everything else in the game et cetera, makes this an amazing experience however controversial. I want to say this game is not for everyone and maybe we aren’t even meant to like it, however it is an amazing experience. I will play it again to fully take in the breathtaking experience at a slower rate and find some cons. Honestly, this is one of the best video games I have ever played, it’s harsh, it’s brutal and it’s controversial which is fair and probably desired by Neil Druckmann when coming up with the story. It is like a 9 and a half, as no game is perfect, there are plot holes and uncomfortable decisions such as playing as Abby, killing dogs etc, but this isn’t meant to be a comfortable game, this is meant to **** everyone upemotionally and it succeeded for me    … 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]
