    This review does not much talk about the game but was rather written to direct you to looking at some more positive reviews of it because you will not find many here and you will most likely find those more informative. I 100% recommend this game to anyone who enjoys great, divisive storytelling and is capable of playing it with an open mind. Everyone who says anything bad about this gameThis review does not much talk about the game but was rather written to direct you to looking at some more positive reviews of it because you will not find many here and you will most likely find those more informative. I 100% recommend this game to anyone who enjoys great, divisive storytelling and is capable of playing it with an open mind. Everyone who says anything bad about this game has opinions rooted in homophobia, sexism, and closed mindedness. I am certain that if you were to have a conversation with anyone who says anything bad about this game’s story you would realize that the opinions of the majority are full of bigotry and ignorance, and they would inadvertently lead you to buying the game. I’ve played through the story twice and can easily say that it is my favorite story ever told in all of movies and video games.… Expand

    Es un juego muy bueno , que a pesar de no haber superarado a su anterior entrega supo como llevar un hilo realmente bueno , lastimosamente al terminarlo te deja con un sabor muy amargo de lo que pudo haber sido uno de los finales mas memorables de los videojuegos, ya que todo el tiempo estuvieron vendiendo que seria una venganza y al llegar no se obtuvo lo esperado.

    Pretentious story telling ruined a good gameplay and amazing visuals, that's the reason I only give it 1 point.

    Took me more than a month to complete do to not liking the game; repetitive, one dimensional & forced story, complete garbage, avoid it at all cost, you'll lose some money and time with this "game" in my opinion :(

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - Alright you people need to **** chill.
    I waited more than five **** years too. And I am also pissed off on how they killed off Joel in such a disgusting manner, its **** disrespectful. But, isn’t it great that exists a game, that can create so much controversy, and yet makes us fell in hatred and emotions in a such particular way?
    You dont get this type of games often
    I mean its the last of us, its a cruel **** world.
    You can’t deny the effort they put making this game, the details and grafics are astonishing and the gameplay is almost flawless.
    Yes, I finished the game and I felt emotionally drained. There isnt other game that had me feel anything as TLOUS saga has ever done, its an eye-opening **** game too. I agree Abby deserved to die in that **** beach, but it wasn’t our call to make but Ellie’s. If you have any love for the TLOUS, at least respect Ellie’s decission. And I dont **** care what you say. Ellie got her revenge at the end, goddammit I wanted Abby dead too. But Ellie killed everyone close to **** Abby. Thinking it twice, I don’t dislike the idea that Abby’s life will be full with of regret and torment on what she has **** done.

    Just remeber there isn’t any exclusive **** game from other console franchise that can top the story of the last of us.

    Because of you people **** around is why we dont **** get good games anymore, stop throwing **** to naughtydog, or don’t tell you want another pointless shooter game as halo 8.

    The best graphism of the PS4 with God of War with awesome details. Just frustrated with the second part of the game when you play Abby and the end of the game.

No me malinterpreten, a mi también me molestó, pero no por eso le daré una nota que no corresponde. Porque la parte de ella si es importante para la historia y para lo que nos querían mostrar, tiene un montón de riquezas que no puedo obviar. Aunque igualmente soy partidario de que lo que nos mostraron con Abby, pudo haber sido perfectamente desarrollado con Ellie. Eso es lo que más me molesto, porque yo quería jugar con Ellie, quería que ella fuera mi protagonista, que ella sea la que recuerde en un futuro, y casi me dejo llevar por esos sentimientos, ya que al terminar el juego, no le daba mas de un 7, pero al ver las cosas en frío y al intentar reflexionar sobre todos los tópicos que nos quisieron mostrar, me di cuenta que la nota es de por lo menos un 9. Yo no soy ningún sabio como para hacer una mega reflexión, si no que es algo que puede hacer cualquiera, y al hacer eso, me di cuenta de todas las riquezas que tiene este juego al abrir por completo su envoltorio. Luego de terminar el juego, siento que la percepción de este cambia para mejor, por todo lo que ya dije. Ya para finalizar, yo venía a colocarle un 9, pero al ver la nota que tenía me sorprendí, y siento que tiene un montón de notas bajas que son injustas, porque de verdad, lo mínimo que se le puede colocar a este juego es un 7 si es que no te gusto la narrativa o la historia, porque en todo lo otro es sin duda un sobresaliente, es por eso que dejo mi 10, como un poco para compensar lo injusto que fueron algunos con este juego.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best game I have ever played, the graphics are amazing, the animations and realism of the gameplay are just mind-blowing, the combat system, dodging, the AI, it's just tremendous. However, almost everyone didn't seem to like the story. I believe it is because they didn't understand it as it actually is.

    Most people hate it because Joel dies and Ellie doesn't kill Abby. First of all, every human being dies at some point, people have to accept that, also the average life expectancy in the US is around 72 years, so obviously in a post-apocalyptic world, the average life expectancy would lower down a lot, which means Joel was supposed to die around his age. My point is even if Abby didn't exist, Joel was anyway gonna die (plus characters always wonder if they're going to die from old age, because it is very improbable).

    In addition, the fact that the predecessor's doctor NPC was Abby's father, doesn't mean it's the only reason Joel was killed, Abby wasn't alone on her quest for vengeance, everyone wanted him dead because he made the worst decision ever made in the entire world (literally). About Ellie not killing Abby at the end, there are many reasons. 1- Ellie couldn't sleep anymore, she always had the memory of Joel dying, she couldn't even hunt (this is when the birthday gift part becomes important, when she finds the boar in the museum). So she went to Santa Barbara and when she's going to kill her, she finally remembers Joel playing the guitar, Ellie finally calmed her consciousness and stopped thinking about him only because of the fact that he died, but because of how he was. Then, she realizes there's no point on keep destroying that woman, so she lets her go.

    2- (This is my personal interpretation) Ellie didn't kill Abby because she saw herself in Lev, she knew that by killing Abby, she would be, in a way, killing Joel.
    The game makes you not only understand that Abigail is a good person, but to comprehend the Mother figure she is to Lev. She was there when he losed his mom, she was there when he loses his sister and his home, she understood he wanted to be a boy, she all he had, and he was all she had too (after losing the love of her life, his girlfriend + future son + dog, her friend group and her home, the WLF).
    So Ellie realized she was the villain of the story, and allowed her to leave with Lev.

    I also wanted to emphasize the fact that, in the beginning of the game, when you just get to know Abby, after killing Joel, she gave me that feeling I got when I argued with my dad, that threatening sensation that would send shivers down my spine, I would cringe with my arms to the sound of her voice, I was totally scared (you can see that when she asks Ellie to toss her weapon and she does it while shaking). Even in the Tracking Lessons chapter when she throws a stone to her father, I could feel that fear even though she was a child there, but when I got to know her better through her gameplay, that disappeared, I had totally empathized with her. There are people who say they didn't stop seeing her as a villain (I thought that myself) but you actually do, you just don't realize it in the process.

    I personally believe this game recquires a high level of maturity and analysis to understand, as a big percentage of the gamer community is conformed by underage people (or even 10 year old children), it is probable that the majority don't get to comprehend it. Nevertheless, this game is still one of the greatest games ever made, I would call it "The ‘Pulp Fiction’ of games".    … Expand

    I never really was a fan of the gameplay of the last of us that's not really why I played that game. It was all about the story and the characters but the last of us part 2 feels so far out of place. Some of the scenes in this game feel so forced and uncomfortable. This ain't it!

Then on one morning I was having breakfast with my wife and I finally believed I was ready to speak and said the words 'I finished the game'. What happened then was a lump grew in my throat and I was barely able talk about what happened and how I felt about it... The game was that good...

    It was only then I learned other speak bad of the game and I respect it, I just don't see how.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful game, it means a lot to me! Lots of love to everyone who helped to create this game.    … Expand

    What a fun game. The people who hate it are salty that their heroes ended up being villains, but the story had depth and profundity not expected from a video game. The fan base is embarrassing. I loved Joel and Ellie as much as the rest. But the game made it clear that they threw away civilizations only chance at survival and a strong womans father

    Truly amazing use of video games as a storytelling medium. This studio is really pushing on games as an art form and what can be achieved with it that cannot be achieved through other mediums. My only critique is that sometimes the mechanics weren't fully aligned with the narrative experience, but all in all this was a minor issue. A powerful and fascinating game.

    Ignore the hate. This game challenges the player with more than fluid gameplay, good writing, solid graphics, and amazing music, but a story that demands more from us as people. It somehow manages to be better than the first, setting another high standard for the industry to strive for.

    Look, I understand that they had to change the story and characters to try to "innovate", but what came out was something quite bad in the story, the graphics were excellent, but they sacrificed the story like a lamb. the end was very forced and you feel as if you had no choice, it would have been excellent to leave the decision to us and not force ourselves.

    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.
