    I loved "The Last of Us" I loved "The Last of Us Part 2" even more. I can understand why people are disappointment, but I disagree with the majority that are on the bandwagon that claims that the story is bad. I think the story is deep, and complex, and the fact that it puts you in the eyes of another side of the story. The fact that it forces you to question whether you are the hero,I loved "The Last of Us" I loved "The Last of Us Part 2" even more. I can understand why people are disappointment, but I disagree with the majority that are on the bandwagon that claims that the story is bad. I think the story is deep, and complex, and the fact that it puts you in the eyes of another side of the story. The fact that it forces you to question whether you are the hero, and questions it raises with morality are very interesting. I remember being in a movie theater when Avengers was the hottest thing, and the whole theater would erupt in cheers - TLOU II is the exact opposite of that, and I LOVED it! Absolute masterpiece.

    I'm only sad about the fact that I may never get to experience a story so deep again because the masses have decided, that this is the wrong way to do a story, and I'm sure it will reverberate through the industry. I do wish developers will continue to push the boundaries of story telling the way this title did.. but oh well. I guess I'll just have to go back to playing generic stories again.
    This game is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    I am disappointed with the last of us 2, an evolution of minor gameplay, we are messing up the story to integrate politics in the games, and we are told if we don't like it's that we are homophobic.
    the last of us 1 will remain a masterpiece but on the 2nd my disgust of the license, I never saw it again

    Disappointment of generation. Druckmann - mistake. He is ruiner franchise, horrible scenarist.
    Bruce Straley was real genius. Not Neil.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the most part tlou 2 is really enjoyable ,
    I hate the story it self how it goes and the lack of focus on our beloved characters and how they broke Ellie and even abby at the end,
    I think story wise it could’ve easily been a lot better,
    But putting those aside ,overall package its really good game
    Really high standards and still enjoyable and engaging as ever.    … Expand

We need to realize that we cannot accept every game to have a happy ending, naughty dog has made this masterpiece it's an exhausting, chilling and emotional journey, I initially really hated the idea of Abby killing Joel, but it's important to think from her perspective and if you ignore the false and bombed reviews, I'm sure that as you progress you are going to understand Abby's character and empathize with her story. DO NOT MISS THIS GAME BECAUSE OF ALL THESE **** FAKE REVIEWS!… Expand

    Este juego es asombroso en todos sus apartados como el jugable,sonoro,técnico,cierta innovación que se agradece y el mas polémico el narrativo que a mi parecer nos entregan una historia polémica por donde la mires y que sin duda iba a dar de que hablar ya sea positivamente o negativamente sin duda un juego 100% recomendable

People waited 7 years for Joel and Ellie but nope the writers decided to kill them in the first 7 minutes and you play with the one who killed them. Well done this is how you destroy your success....… Expand

    I would like say you, I am happy by you finished your masterpiece, and you are happy with that.
    I like your games, TLOU 1 is my favorite game, then TLOU 2.
    I understand your place and my place.

    Such a poor story and shameful abuse of the DMCA law. Then in come Sony spending millions on media manipulation.

    So many lies and poor morals. Jesus must be quite cross with Mr Druckmann right now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. first off let me start by saying the game play two audio the whole feel of the game was fantastic Ellie's story her first part fantastic what I didn't like and what kill the whole game and it felt more like a chore than anything was playing Abby's part and naughty dog trying to make us like a character that I literally just watched Joel die from as a revenge plot that character has been bowl of since the first one it's been developed the whole game from the first one you cannot do that it does not work like that what were they thinking I don't understand Adams park felt more like a chore than anything else and I'm not even going to speak on the fact that I don't know why she's at big there's no such thing as roids in a post-apocalyptic setting you need roids in like Male supplements to retain that muscle capacity as a woman not very realistic and not sense and in a lot of cringe in Abby's part as well I mean I don't mind that she is buff but the fact that naughty dog made us play her for 3 for 3 days basically made it more tedious I just wanted to get that done with so I can get back to Ellie's part and that's the only thing I wanted to do now I feel like I wasted money because I feel like I only played half the game even though I played the full game from start to finish final verdict I give it a 6 out of 10 game play phenomenal graphics phenomenal to feel the game the flow phenomenal but the whole point of a story is to be good graphics and gameplay don't make it up and a lot of people are screwing it really low I scored a little higher because I count half of that as Ali's part to be very very well done but the other half which is Abby's part very very weird to play and very poorly executed… Expand

    Valoren el juego de forma general no solo su historia que en cuestión de gustos y perspectivas cada quien siente diferente. El juego podemos decir que un 9/10 cerrado. Si llegas a tomarle cariño a todos los personaje y evaluar la historia desde cada punto de vista lograrás conseguir una satisfacción muy grande con el perdón final del juego

    I dont know how but this game is even worst than the original, but my brother bought it and i feel so disgusted by this game. The gameplay is exactly the same than the OG, nothing new, really boring and not fun. The graphics are awesome, for me the only good thing in the game. I won't say the soundtrack is bad but it feels like doesn't fit for me, is just like we know the story is dramaticI dont know how but this game is even worst than the original, but my brother bought it and i feel so disgusted by this game.

I won't say the soundtrack is bad but it feels like doesn't fit for me, is just like we know the story is dramatic and all that sh*t but why they want to prove it so much. At the end the first game was only "good" for the story but this one is so bad. Maybe it was the decision they took, i can care less about the inclusion it's just that they try to be realistic with a story so unrealistic. The main character of the last game is killed in a gruesome way, just like any other character in this freaking game, really unnecessary every character was killed even if they appeared 10 minutes ago with Abby just forgeting them 5 seconds later, except the one she was in love obviously. Then they told us that we wouldn't have to kill any animal but you are forced to kill a lot of dogs and one character just unnecessarily kill a horse in front of the player. A 5 months pregnant women just running around shouting guys, a girl lifting a really big ladder from the beginning of it, are some of many things in this game than make 0 sense. Ellie;s character lose so much in this game,specially at the end, Abby is the best one in my opinion. I never liked Joel in the first one but in this game get so much sh*t. I think people are criticizing this game for the wrong thing, this one is just trash… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is so disconnected from the first game. There's literally 0 consistency in character writing, plots. The whole game is just a different short stories patched together that didn't need to be told. This game was honestly a waste of everybody's time. Also the environment and level design is subpar compared to the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I tried so hard to like this game. Honestly, this is by far the most disappointing, depressing , Poorly written story I've ever played in a video game. The game had major pacing problems, everytime you reach a climatic moment, like the ending, its another 10 hour flashback. another flashback, after another flashback after another. They could have told the story better,, alot better. They ruin joels character and **** on him, he never speaks up or tells ellie why he did what he did. ellie doesn't kill abby in the end. Which is dumb, and abby goes all the way to the theater to kill ellie for killing her friends and then doesn't kill her.. it makes no **** sense.. abby never tells ellie why he did it, she just walks off. Nobody cares about abby! And all the focus is on abby. We came here for ellie and joel. Ellie has turned into a broken non likeable character. If your a big fan of the last of us, dont buy this. Neil should never write a story again, oh its also really boring… 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]
