    Super recomendable jugarlo y tener autocritica y pensamiento propio ya que el videojuego es muy humano, no estas viviendo una historia de super heroes, son humanos con actitudes grises, no hay buenos ni malos solo supervivientes, rencor, amor, sentimientos como los que todos tenemos.

    Nice visuals, good acting, great soundtrack, ok gameplay but a poor story. I enjoyed the game but the story was bad, ending was meaningless and I didn't get attached to the character really. But overall a decent game. Not great but not bad either.

    It’s a masterwork. What a game. It is one of the most immersive and harrowing experiences I’ve had with a game - or with anything. I drank it in.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's hard to give this game a fair shake due to all the controversy, from the leaks to behavior of Sony and Naughty Dog to the blatant lying and spread of misinformation by the access media. Even some misleading information from the official trailers. That said, let's give it a shot.

    Story, not a fan, there are so many problems here, let's begin.

    The players that don't make it past Joel's death cannot be blamed for that, nor should they be blamed for making their reviews solely on that event alone. The set up abandoned all of Joel's character building from the first, it was disrespectful to his character and ultimately, has no payoff by the end of the game. This is the first event that literally persuades the player from not continuing the game, and it's a big one.

    Next, Abby. Her character design is particularly strange. There's absolutely nothing that makes you like her and empathize with her. I hate to say she's agenda driven, but that's the only thing that seems to make sense in her design. To put it as simple as possible, she was created to kill Joel. Why anyone would expect you to like and empathize with her after that is ludicrous. She is the antagonist, plain and simple. We hate her.

    So she let's Ellie survive and you spend half the game trying to get close to her again. Could feel like the whole game for some people, and this is where you meet your next big scenario that makes you want to stop playing the game for good. You finally end up in a scenario with Abby, you expect some big fight is going to happen, it's an intense moment, you don't know what's gonna happen because you don't have the upper hand and what happens??? It fades to black and suddenly your playing Abby's backstory and your first thought it WHAT THE EFF?? Second thought is, I DON'T CARE. Then you are overcome with the desire to simply quit playing.

    So you somehow go through all that, you get to the end of the game hoping something will make it worth it and then comes the final slap in the face. Ellie loves playing the guitar, it's her thing, it was in her trailers and marketing and had a few special moments throughout the game. Then what happens? You fight with Abby, she effing bites your fingers off and despite her killing Joel, and all the killing Ellie had to do to even get here, she let's Abby go.

    What was even the point of it all? WHAT WAS THE POINT!? Where's the payoff to killing Joel early in the story? Why make you play as Abby? She was irredeemable for anyone invested in these characters and franchise. Okay, Joel killer her father, but why did he do it? Self-defense? To protect Ellie??? Here we have a game about revenge that begins with Abby taking hers and then Ellie is like naw???? Tell me how this makes sense? Worst of all is the final salt in your wounds when Ellie can no longer play her guitar.

    Atmosphere and graphics are perfectly set and gorgeous. Anyone saying this isn't one of the best looking games on PS4 would be disingenuous. The graphics don't save the game by any means, but they certainly bring the score up and that's about all I have to say on that.

    Gameplay? I mean you're forced to kill a dog. That really sucks. Game loves making you do things and then feel bad for them. Plays better than it's predecessor but still gets repetitious and somewhat boring. Especially the latter half of the game because if you're still motivated to play at that point, all you want to do is get to the end.

    This game was a massive disappointment primarily due to the story decisions. The story is objectively bad and it makes you feel bad for playing through it. The only thing I am personally thankful for is that I am not invested in these characters like so many others. With that said, I am still heartbroken for Joel and Ellie.

    In closing, I'll say that while this game may sell well, the fans will not support a third entry. The bridge is burning and there's nothing that can be done to save it.

    This game should not exist. Neil Suckman should be ashamed for lying to the true fans of TLOU. Using Joel to sell the game because they knew no one would buy it if they had just come out straight with Abby being part of the story.

They did something here no other video game has been able to...and if you don't look at it as if it's a video game, and instead a movie you will have a blast of a time! I do think, the 'coincidence' with joel could have been written better...which is why i feel the hate is justified, especially if you are attached to joel. but i think people are putting way too much of a political overtone on this...it's a great game...could just use a little bit better writting for what they were trying to do.

    Отличное продолжение первой части! Совершенно в другом, неожиданном для меня векторе, но очень претенциозное. Игровой процесс эволюционировал без революции. Большое спасибо, Naughty Dog!
    Девять балов только потому, что вы к финалу из меня все соки выжали (пусть этого видимо и добивались) и некоторые технические огрехи, из-за которых приходилось несколько раз перепроходить отдельные главы.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow... just wow. I struggle to put my disappointment into words Because this was one of the angriest I’ve ever been playing a video game. I played the first last of us back when it came out in 2013 and absolutely loved it. The characters were flawed but like-able, the banter between Joel and Ellie was funny and heartfelt, and the story was phenomenal. You could say I was excited for the sequel to this game but honestly it’d be an understatement. So when i played and beat the 20 or so hour long story of the Last of Us 2 you could probably imagine how i reacted when Everything I loved about the last game this game was completely devoid of. The first gut-punch was the killing off of Joel a mere couple of hours into this gruelingly long game, I understand you don’t always get what you want when it comes to games and who they kill off but i felt this was completely unnecessary especially since it happened so early and at the hands of a new character. Who is this new character? Well she’s the main antagonist of the game, you wouldn’t know that though seeing as how you spend more time playing as her then you do fighting her. Meet Abby, a jacked female WLF soldier and her band of fellow less important WLF soldiers. (who despite playing a pretty big role in Joels death get killed in either a cutscene, quicktime event, or by the hands of someone other than Ellie.) I don’t know what Naughty dog was trying to do with these antagonists however because despite how much of Abby’s and their backstory I learned or how much i played with her, I still didn’t care and I still wanted to kill her. It almost seems like the only reason we get to play as Abby is to make the game longer than it has to be. Anyways throughout this game you spend 20+ hours playing as both Abby and Ellie, who’s relationship is complicated Because despite hating, fighting, shooting, and stabbing at each other throughout basically the entirety of the game never actually bring themselves to kill one-another. It’s like I as a player had no control over any of the characters actions, because I for one wanted to kill Abby the entire time so when finally Ellie gets her chance to at the very end of the game she chickens out and lets her live at the last second, atleast the gameplay is fun and the graphics are good though right? 1/10

    But atleast we got that mocap sex scene right

Lo que falla en este juego es el cambio de personajes para jugar ahora con Abby ya que no alcanza tanto cariño como el de Ellie y joel (ademas de que se extiende bastante el juego a base de Abby y lo que ha hecho depuse de lo acontecido para dar el paso de la redención) es una pena que el juego se base tanto en Abby ya que como en la portada sale Ellie como protagonista, da a entender que todo el juego debio ser de Ellie y no de Abby, claro esta bien que te quieran contar de como es que surgió ese rencor con Joel por la muerte de su padre y que hizo para llevar a cabo su plan, pero tampoco esta bien que nos excedan bastante de la historia de Abby como la de Ellie, a parte de la historia es una cosa medio extraña pero que te hace dejar un mensaje bastante crudo pero a la vez realista que es "que no todo es para siempre y que siempre estés con los que amas realmente en la buenas y en las malas" y que por tus actos es lo que va a llevar la ruina a lo que has escogido para tu vida. la jugabilidad no es tan innovadora pero si es en cierto punto muy pero muy entretenido jugar ciertos lugares de Seattle tipo "Sand Box", la inteligencia artificial esta muy bien lograda haciendo que el jugador sepa realmente como evitar peleas que puedan complicar el avance del juego, también la implementación de enemigos nuevos y el aumento de complejidad ya que se filtran nuevos IAS como los perros que pueden olfatearte,etc. tanto en jugabilidad como gráficos son su fuertes del juego, solo que en ,a historia lo que falto era ordenar bien lo que se quería explicar desde un inicio. No todos estan contentos debido a que estan acostumbrados a la tipica historia del "Gran heroe" y del "Gran villano" salvando el mundo cuando este te lo narra de manera realista lo que tan crudo puede ser perder a un ser querido en edad temprana. Sinceramente me quede con un sabor agridulce, pero en cuestión de trabjo para desprendernos en esta aventura le doy un 9/10. "RECOMENDADO" para jugarlo. Ese final puede dejar una breve mecha para una tercera parte para explicar que sucedió después del abandono de Dina y de la guitarra que dejó de Joel y así terminar este magnífico titulo de Naughty Dog. Ojalá pueda ver esto Neil Druckmann y hacerlo el otro año el siguiente numero del juego:) CLARO MIENTRAS NO SE DEMOREN CON CASI UNA DECADA! (7 años para esperar la segunda). Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a game that knew it was going to be hard to swallow. It knew that killing the main character from the first game in its opening hours was going to infuriate people. That people would be so terribly angry that he was crippled and beaten to death with a golf club.

    “That’s not how you treat the damn hero of the story!”

    That’s the point. This game wants to show you just how horrible its world is. How there aren’t heroes, there are people surviving and dying. What makes Joel special? The fact that you connected to him so well in the first one? The fact that he lost his real daughter at the beginning of the outbreak and that’s sad? The fact that he loves Ellie like a daughter And it helped heal his brokenness? So what? Tough **** That doesn’t give him plot armor. He’s a man that made enemies and those enemies caught up to it.

    That’s not to say I wasn’t hurt when it happened. That I didn’t feel a little heartbreak watching someone that I also connected with so much back in the first game (especially being able to project on to him having become a father pretty recently at the time) get belittled and murdered in front of who was effectively his daughter. It **** SUCKED and I wanted to kill Abby for it. BUT that’s the POINT! I felt how Ellie felt (though obviously not to the same extent since he’s just a video game character) and I wanted revenge!

    The scene afterward when Ellie stops by Joel’s house one last time before heading out on her revenge mission had me tearing up my living room. When she put her face in his jacket and breathed in his scent one last time...chills and tears. But it also put me in the right mindset for the game to follow. It’s sad, it’s depressing, it’s HEAVY. But it’ powerful too. Just like the first game, you follow a character who is broken, makes selfish decisions and causes pain to a lot of people, but from THEIR perspective it’s the right thing to do. There is no easy answer, it’s not simple “I’m the good guy, they are the bad guy” and it makes you really stop and think about everything from a much more mature and nuanced way.

    And that’s just the STORY! To me the most important part of a game simply because I love single player story driven experiences but this is a game after all and it doesn’t sit well with me to only review the story.

    The gameplay is very signature Naughty Dog and perfectly in line with the spirit of the first game. By that I mean the com at is intense, brutal, and sometimes claustrophobic. It’s also not perfect. I can’t really point out what specifically about the combat in Naughty Dog games that doesn’t feel QUITE right but I think most people (even mega fans) know what I’m talking about. You have a blast during the combat, don’t get me wrong, but the actual gunplay is outclassed by other games. Not a deal breaker, maybe not everyone agrees but that’s my two cents.

    Graphics get a 10/10 from me. What more can I say than the game says for itself. The lush forest environments and overgrown cityscapes pop and are the most readily apparent example of course but even the drab, damp indoor areas lit only by natural light (in most cases) managed to amaze. This is maybe even MORE impressive because of how easily these areas could look flat and uninteresting. It takes a lot of work to simulate indirect lighting on a system that can’t do ray tracing but they manage to do it with amazing technical skill and talent.

    What I’m saying it this game really is every bit what the reviewers say it is. Don’t believe the crap about paid-for reviews and people sucking up to a Sony and Naughty Dog. Experience it for yourself. If you don’t like it because you don’t agree with the story direction or what have you then that’s fine. Your opinion is valid and I don’t knock you for it. If you never cared about the game to begin with I don’t expect to change your mind with this. Just please don’t buy into the hate that spewed out after the leaks. It’s just isn’t fair to yourself more than anyone else.

El gamplay continúa siendo muy bueno y las nuevas adiciones al gamplay son buenas, hay menos escaleras, los minijuegos son una adición perfecta. Conforme a la historia, no se porqué el problema con ella. Desde la primera parte Joel no es ningún héroe, tampoco Ellie y en este caso no lo es Abby. Abby tiene un desarrollo como Joel en el primer juego, encuentra un niño y su perspectiva en sus actos cambia, sabe que la venganza no le traerá paz. Nunca fue una historia con un final feliz. Joel decidió salvar a Ellie y como ella le dice al final, no era su decisión hacerlo, debió dejar que Ellie decidiera y así su vida hubiera tenido sentido, es una historia con un final triste y es lo que es. No creo por eso el juego en general merezca un cero tal vez si la historia no es para ti lo entiendo pero hay otras aspectos técnicos al fin de cuentas es un videojuego no una película Expand

But there are some details in the story that I didn't like, like being forced to play half the game with a character other than Ellie. I don't think any of us wanted to play with Abby since she is the person who killed Joel and we have no attachment to her and we also want her to pay for it. In addition to the game, it lacks a very important part: it allows us to make decisions on our own, such as giving a specific answer in a moment of conversation or making the decision to kill a character or let him live. Or that at least the game has two alternate endings, one in which Ellie dies at the hands of Abby and the other in which Ellie kills Abby and returns with Dina to the farm and can already live in peace because she avenged Joel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being honest here. The game Is **** The pros come from the graphics and game play. Other than that the game fails. From forced political agenda to horrible story writing. To be clear Im not a homophobic or transphobic person. I have plenty of gay and trans friends, the problem though is the game forces it into your brain with a hammer and nail expecting a pat on the back for its courageous effort. Second problem is the story itself. Joel dies within the first few hours, now im not upset that he died im upset with how he died. By some random character not explained or mentioned in the first game who threw a temper tantrum because Joel killed her daddy because he was literally about to butcher Ellie without even thinking to ask If Ellie wanted to go through with it. Ellie in the first game I think would definitely sacrificed her self for the cure if given the choice, but she doesn't get a say and Joel has to save her. Not to mention Joel dies stupidly Joel from the first game would never trust random strangers so easily or give his real name out so carefree. THEN afterwords im forced to play about 10+ hours of abby who at this point who i **** despise and they make no attempt to make me have sympathy to words her. The true fans and people who loved the first game and the relationship between Ellie and Joel Hate this game because it ****s on the first game. In the first game when it revealed Ellie was gay that was fine because it was subtle but there, yet this game it shoves all the SJW agenda down your throat. If they had built up Joel's death slowly while giving us some motivation for abby while building her character and have us develop sympathy for her maybe once Joel trusts abby and reveals his true name thats what sparks her anger again but plans it out instead of just beating him with a golf club in the first hours of the game THAT would have had fans respond alot better than the current game maybe even better have Abby be conflicted about killing Joel once he shows his kindness and compassion for those close to him and have her have second thoughts about revenge but no shes a black and white character with no feelings or sympathy to her in duller than a wooden sword. This isnt a **** bot this is a real person with there true thoughts about that game if this gets removed or silenced by metacritic it just proves they cant handle criticism and are children who pitch a fit when there agenda falls short Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics: Graphically this game is stunning in every way. The attention to detail is so in-depth that it is easy to see how much love and care was put into this department. This is without a doubt the highlight of this game.

    Gameplay: The mechanics in this game feels very repetitive and almost completely similar to the prior installment. It's a constant move around loot and shoot, with some occasional puzzles in between. There are points in the game where it feels like the gameplay comes to a very slow halt for a time.

    Story: The story starts rather nice and feels like a very warm welcome to a long-desired game. However, this welcome is soon spoiled by the very controversial scene in which Abby kills off Joel. His death feels rather early and shoe-horned in to move the plot along. The story feels all over the place in the middle to end game. You spend time making connections to characters with Abby, all while knowing they are going to die later on, because of Ellie's section of the story you know that these characters meet their fate at Ellie's hands. You basically kill a character to learn about hem 2 to 4 hours later in the game. Now, the ending of the game I know most are upset with, I understand why they feel this. You spend upwards of 20 hours in a revenge plot for Ellie to kill Abby, and right when you are about to achieve this goal it feels like a total slap to the face when Ellie spares Abby instead of getting her revenge. However, I understand that by this point in the story that Ellie might not want to kill anymore, she's been traumatized by Joel's death and witnessing the many losses of her friends. The only point in this game where the story feels actually well told is during the flashbacks, Abby included, seeing the duo of Joel and Ellie again is enough to bring a tear to your eye. Just seeing the father-daughter connection again made me smile for a short time.

    Characters: Almost no character in this story is ever actually developed, minus Abby, Ellie, and Lev. The side characters that travel along with you get very sudden and stupid deaths. Just about every time someones dies in this game, they are never mentioned again. Abby's reaction to seeing Manny die in front of her is just to run away, she never even says his name or mentions anything about him ever again. This formula sticks to every side character that dies. As I've said prior, the characters are barely fleshed out at all, and the little you do learn about them is pointless.

    Voice Acting: The voice acting in this game is fairly decent, minus some parts in which there is some rather odd dialogue that just feels out of place.

    Overall, I feel if the story was told in a reorganized manner (No plot elements changed) so that the story flows better, I could've enjoyed the game a bit more. Characters that I want to make a connection with just feel hollow, like cardboard cutouts. The gameplay can be repetitive and boring at times. The graphics really carry this game to the best it possibly can.

    The gameplay itself was pretty **** cool. The graphics are breath taking. That being said, this is a story game. The story is full of holes and the player won't feel invested in the majority of the characters. There is no shock or sadness seeing the majority of the people die. The character development outside of Abby and Ellie (maybe even just outside of Abby) is absent.

    This is a zombie killing simulator with a bunch of people running into each other and spouting gibberish. If you feel that should cost 60 dollars, this is the game for you.

The organic blending of story elements with the gameplay from the first game has been abandoned in favor of lengthy and numerous cutscenes (which feels archaic in the year 2020). They decided to double down on the clunky stealth aspects which were easily the most tedious part of the original. And when story should provide strength when gameplay fails, the characterization of the protagonists feels inconsistent with what had been established previously. In this game, people do things not because it's what their character would believably choose to do, but because some developer wanted to force the next illogical story set-piece to occur. The production values alone, which they obviously paid for with the years of crunch, are the only aspects that deliver. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game. More of the same as the original minus some awkward control issues which is ideal. Can be a bit repetitive at times but the story is sound. It deftly goes into the grey area between good and evil and the adage "an eye for an eye..." flows throughout. The fact they managed to put me on team Abby is quite a feat since Ellie is a fan favourite. Some have been critical of the choice to kill off Joel, however it follows perfectly from the original story. What he did was not something a good man should walk away from and it plays well into how Ellie then goes on a bloody rampage since he plays as her father figure. The ending was convoluted but effective. The addition of another random group of bad guys was an odd one and tbh I'd have enjoyed more gameplay in california. The themes of there being no safe havens in the apocalypse weren't very well developed but I guess that wasn't the overall thesis. I've heard comments about an lgbtq agenda which is absurd. If having characters who happen to be trans or lesbian is an issue to some I hope they have a nice cellar to live in so they'll spare us from their bigotry. Game was worth the wait. Good stuff.
