    Asco de final y trama aburrida
    Se esperaba mas después de tantos años y solo resultó ser un juego más de que es lo políticamente correcto

    okey I just played this game until the end, the game is not bad. But it does not enjoyable at all because of the writing and the story. Maybe I can tolerate the game if I don't have to played as Abby. Very much hate that experience till the end. Thank you Mr. Neil Druckmann for ruining the game with your **** story and writing.

    The plot is so bad. The ending is unacceptable.

    Can't believe this garbage has been done for so many years.

    but the worst part is the plot you don't kill the most beloved character of the game and then make you control its killer trying to justify why she did that you can't just love a character after what she did and o god what they did during the trailer making us believe that joel was gonna be in the game but no at the end was another character that is not something that you do to your fans but hey he killed her father yeah a medic that just took in a day the decision to kill ellie you don't just do that as doctor there are more thing you can do as a doctor to develop a vaccine even if its possible to make one, if you are a fan I just recommend you to play it if you want to watch get a bad ending that is not satisfactory    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's hard to understand the scene where Abby notices and kills Joel. I can understand the story. But how did Abby know that he was chasing the character only by hearing that his name was Joel?
    It knocked us out of shapely. Rather than revenge, we felt as if our bond had been broken down.
    Ellie, of course, can't make rational judgments in that' ellie just want revenge. Therefore, we have to hurt innocent people as many times as we did before.
    We even have to manipulate the character Abby who hurt Joel on our own. Do we want to play a game? Joel, who was selfish in his previous work but spared no effort to protect his daughter-like Ellie, faced a disastrous end. If you're a fan of the Last of Us, can you continue the game with Abby?
    No, you'll fall into despair.    … Expand

In the graphic aspect, gameplay, and mechanics, it is great, but once you finish it the feeling inside you will not be great, you seek vengeance for very long, Ellie took a lot of lifes during that path, and once she has the killer of Joel in front of her, she decides to let Abby live, after all of that? That is a slap in the face to the players.… Expand

    Big disappointment. Part 1 was a great game. Stupid plot, clearly more focused on their own agenda instead of making a great game for gamers.

    Bad story
    Unlikeable characters Bad ending
    Killing someone we truly care about because we played with him mostly in the first game isn't an issue the issue is how you kill him. It's about the game not having good high points like the first part. There is literally no depth and many mechanics of the game are useless and temporary.

    I love the first part and the only thing I like about the second part is that it makes me love the first part even more.
    Because it's the end of the world and it's All about survival no one cares about being nice or even or just. Your are the authority you are the judge jury and executioner and you have to adapt.
    It's all about hope and it's all about finding something to fight for.
    I'm devastated after playing this you just destroyed my favorite video game of all time. And for those who say that it's the right thing or that it's his perspective understand this that majority of the people don't want this so yes these ratings are well deserved.    … Expand

    Zombies are not a main focus of this zombie game because it doesn't fit into the pseudo-progressive narrative. If you have active brain cells between your ears I would avoid this game at all costs.

    For a game series which is almost completely reliant on it's story-line, Naughty Dog have swung and missed on this one entirely.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the most disapointing games of all time, competes with Mafia 3. Our honest problem with the game is the story. The first game had amazing characters and story. So the expectations were high. Joel is my favorite game character of all time. He could sense trouble coming from a mile away. And he is a survivor. But in this game, he acts out of character, so he dies. Ellie says Joel and Tommy would do anything to survive. But then Joel and Tommy risk their own lives by saving a random girl getting chased by a horde of zombies. Honestly Joel and Tommy would've just left her to die and head back to Jackson. But instead they for some reason saved her. Then told her their names. Then went to a basement in their place. That totally didn't make any sense. And another thing is that, Ellie is not likable at all in this game. She always acts like a jerk to everyone. In the beginning of the game, a character named Seth apologizes and she doesn't even care. And then she acts like a jerk to Joel. And then there is the worst part about this game, the Abby part. The game tries to make us like Abby for some reason. And it doesn't work. I hate Abby. I dont even like Ellie that much anymore but at least she tries to get revenge for Joel. And then she fails, with weapons, against a weaponless Abby. that didn't make any sense either. And then there is the final. The game tries to give a cliche message, "revenge is bad, killing Abby would get me nowhere, I should forgive Joel and Abby" when it didn't need to. All we wanted from this game was, Ellie to kill Abby at that point. But instead, she lets her go. The only thing left from Joel was, playing the guitar. And Abby took that from Ellie too. Killed Joel, killed Jesse, shot Tommy, bit 2 of her fingers, and she still lets her go. Thats just poor writing. And I haven't even talked about the romance scenes the whole game, they are so bad that I dont want to talk about them.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This isn't a game. It's a lethal dose of cultural poison/toxic nihilism.

    Don't give money to people who hate you.

    Most people seem to think that Joel getting massacred like a dog two hours in is the low point. It actually gets much worse after that.

    As many unscored critic reviews have noted the story doesn't hold together, characters keep behaving erratically in constant about-faces about their motivations, worse and worse as the plot drags on. It's an hack job ny people in bad faith, without the writing chops to pull any of that off.

    Add unethical, deceptive advertising, way too much misery, constant over the top disturbing violence, and worse of all a blatant lack of respect for the player's intelligence and taste, bordering on contempt.    … Expand

    Worst story ever!!! Some results are not unacceptable, but the process of reaching it is too rough!
    In addition, part of the gameplay experience is also very bad. The open world design and some unnecessary stories really affect the game rhythm. I want to sleep several times during the game.

    After playing the game with an open mind - despite the negative reviews - i gotta say the green reviews must be paid. there is just no other explanation who would give this game a really positive review espiecially the dumb forced storyline. It is like a Netflix game. Grapichs are really great tho.

    I learn one thing after playing this game and that is to never EVER trust the mainstream gaming media. They are corrupt dirty liars and no one should ever trust their reviews ever again. I am completely dumbfounded by the necessary insanity inserted into this game. The story is just dumb. A huge problem is the laziness with the story. The plot is complete garbage and filled with holes.I learn one thing after playing this game and that is to never EVER trust the mainstream gaming media.

    Joel looks nothing like in the trailers. That is false advertisement. The way Joel dies combined with the fact that we get to play as his killer afterwards is so dumb that I truly feel that the Naughty Dog writers just deserves a slap.

The fan was going crazy from where it hadn’t been turned on in months, so I spent 40min taking it apart and dusting it with canned air and cloths so I can enjoy the game fully. I can honestly say that the constant sneezing from my dust allergy caused by cleaning out my PS4 was a more compelling and fulfilling narrative than the garbage story of this game. Not only a bad standalone product, but soured my view on the entire series.… Expand

    El juego realmente me ha decepcionado, y aun varios días después de su lanzamiento no me quito de la cabeza la insultante trama que han hecho. Además de una publicidad previa engañosa con " la continuación de la historia de Ellie y Joel" , que todos sabemos que de eso no tiene nada, han hecho una trama traicionando a la saga ya que a las dos hora desaparece dicha oportunidad de volver a juntar a la pareja más querida, con un giro en la trama insultante, sin sentido, y sacado de la manga. Para colmo, que el personaje de Manny ( la representación de Neil Druckman, ya que se le parece muchísimo demasiado) escupa a Joel, me parece un insulto y un desprecio hacia los fans. Luego, el personaje de Abby, un personaje que por culpa de la mala estructuración de la trama se te hace imposible conectar con ella, tenemos que controlarla durante casi medio juego, lo cual después de lo que ha hecho se hace muy tedioso. También, despues de matar a tantos seraphitas con Abby y formar pareja con Lev, nos damos cuenta que intentan darle una figura cómo la de Joel y Ellie dando a entender que es un intento de asemejanza para los fans, aunque consigue todo lo contrario y acaba siendo insultante. Por otro lado, además de hacernos ver a Joel cómo un ser malo y despreciable durante casi todo el juego y a Ellie como una loca sanguinaria, hacia el final del juego nos hacen pegarle una paliza a Ellie a manos de Abby después de haber matado a Jesse y a Tommy ( al menos eso pensamos en ese momento) haciendo que nos den ganas de tirar el mando contra la tele. Y por último , la aparición forzada de la nada de Tommy para incitar a Ellie a vengarse y la conclusión de los hechos , dejando a entender además otra vez, que Joel era malo y que nunca dejó decidir a Ellie ( los luciérnagas tampoco la dejaron decidir, pero bueno...el mal guión) hace que el final te dejé con un muy mal de sabor de boca y que junto a la excelente y melancólica banda sonora de Gustavo Santa Olalla te cuestiones, porque han hecho esto ? Porque han tomado esta dirección de juego ? Porque han jodido así a un personaje y a una saga... Porque ? Al menos los flashbaks de Ellie , el Gameplay y la BSO hacen algo pasable el juego sin embargo me es imposible dar un aprobado , porque en este juego no buscaba Gameplay , buscaba historia y ojalá que Naughty recapacite de tanta queja hay de este juego y haga algo al respecto....    … 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.
