    While the graphics and gameplay are great, shockingly great, the story is not. In fact its horrible. You also spend way to much time as Abbey a new character that they really want you to care about. It doesn't work. The storyline is just so terrible it almost makes you want to stop playing the game. Do not waste any money on this game. It's overall a beautiful looking piece of junk.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First thing to say: im not a native speaker of the english language, so if i make some mistakes, forgive me. now with the rate:

    The game have very good graphics, and lovely designed ambients, it makes you feel lost even if you're always progressing in a tunnel, the character design is pretty good, and the great thing 'bout it is that every female character looks feminine without being a beauty stereotipe, and the mechanics are more or less the same with the previous game, even if the addition of the dodge move adds some variety on the bare hand combat,(even if makes it quite simple to figure it out and break the mechanic expecially in one on one situations) for what concern the story and the general internet rant about the excessive presence of sjw topics, i totally disagree, we knew that Ellie likes women since the Dlc of the first game, so no big deal (you cant say that it was forced in the game) and for what concern the character of Lev i found it quite well written, because the reason of his/her decision seemed to me more like a rebellion against his/her clan, than an lgbt thing: to me looked more or less like Mulan, ( and she was asian too) so if we axcept it from Disney we can axcept it also from Naughty Dog,
    Now bout the ending, to me it was OBVIOUS that the game didnt want you to kill Abbie but wants you to sympathize with her traumas and the loss of her father, the game wants you to see that Abbie and Ellie are 2 faces of the same coin, the product of times of terror and atrocities, and how is simple to lose yourself and to lose the ones you love, im my opinion it was a great message to give to people.
    I have some little points that i didnt liked or in my opinion could be emphatized more:
    - spend a lil more time to show the progression of the hate between Mel and Abbie (maybe with some lil flashback)
    -make a playable section of some of Ellies nightmares while she 's in the farm with Dina, to let u feel the urgency of find and Kill Abbie the last time
    -Avoid the Playable last boss fight or make it less long, and bring some more talkative content (im my opinion the game should have finished with them taking different boats without punchin eachother)
    i really dont understand all the hate by the community, you all should buy it and enjoy.
    JUST BECAUSE THE STORY DOESNT END THE WAY YOU WANTED IT DOESNT MEAN THAT THE GAME IS BAD!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you really enjoyed the first game because of how beautiful the story was and the relationships in that story, and if you found yourself attached to the characters at all, you will NOT enjoy this game nearly as much, if at all. It’s almost like the COMPLETE FORGOT why the first the last of us was so successful and adored, and has such obsessive fans. If you’re playing this game without playing the first one then it will be moving and emotional and a nice rollercoaster. But if you are playing this game off of excitement after the first game you WILL be disappointed. I played the first one with my friends and family and we all continuously said we’d love to see Ellie and Joel to grow together. And they all said there favourite character and one of the only reasons they liked the first game was because of Joel and his relationship with Ellie, then to see him die at the start of the game completely ruins the idea of the game. It’s like going on call of duty and removing all guns from the game.

    The good parts about the game I would say are the aesthetics are beautiful and it always looks amazing walking around this game, also the flashbacks to Joel and Ellie make us remember how good the game use to be and those moments were special, also playing as Abby actually was an interesting concept to see what she had gone through as well but then to put the player through the disgusting task of having to fight and beat Ellie is an awful idea, I don’t care what anybody says it is horrendous that we have to fight against the character we’ve always loved, that along with Joel’s death crushed the ratings so low. It’s not being special and unique in the story and the way it’s played it’s just being deluded. I hope they remake it and it was all a dream and they do a story at least some more of the Ellie and Joel action we all love and are not tired of as we’ve had to wait 7 years anyway it will be amazing to get some more of it in a nostalgic way.

    WHEN YOU HAVE NO TOOLS AND NO EXPECTATIONS LUCK WILL START YOUR SUCCESS, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE TOOLS AND ALL THE SUCCESS ONLY INTELLIGENCE WILL KEEP THE SUCCESS.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ellie and joel are completely out of character, naughty dog false advertised us in their s*tty trailers, selling this game off as an adventure of joel and ellie, while joel gets killed off at the very beginning of the game.
    Naughty dog literaly abused joel to bait us, to suck our money out our pockets, cause they knew nobody wouldve bought the game if we, the audience, the fanbase knew ,the game was about emo- ellie and gorilla-abby. Also they made him dump and naive af, because they didnt come up with any better ideas of creating a plot. none of the characters choices made any sense and the ending also makes no sense at all, this is abuse and violation to the name of the last of us.
    i dont even wanna give one single point to the graphics or the gameplay because after the story and the characters got raped like that, neither the graphics or the gameplay make any difference at this point    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it breaks my heart to see so many negative reviews for this game.

    This is not an easy story to endure. It’s truly heartbreaking to see these characters that you’ve grown to know so well go through such pain. That being said, I would encourage anyone who thinks this story is only about revenge to give it another try with a different lens. The way I see it, when Ellie decides to not kill Abby, she’s not forgiving Abby so much as she’s forgiving Joel. The fire and pain that fuels her rampage to kill Abby is not exactly fueled by Joel’s death, but rather the pain and conflict that comes from Joel’s decision to pull her out of the hospital. Joel is a very flawed character, and he’s certainly not a hero. If Ellie had killed Abby, she would have been just as bad as Joel was. She loves Joel, but she knows his death was a consequence of his actions. She doesn’t think he deserved it, per se, but she’s just like Abby, trying to get revenge for her father’s death. If you can’t empathize with Abby, I can understand why you don’t like the game, but I would encourage you to try. I found all of the characters to be very well written and very much like real people.

    That’s my essay. The gameplay is also very fun and the graphics are stunning.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spat in the face of fans when you took out the main character in that fashion....how pathetic. That was not Joel at all from the previous game. He wouldn't go out like that and playing as the killer of Joel in the 2nd half of the game took the enjoyment out of it entirely. I get you wanted shock value but the order and execution was atrocious. The way you lured in fans with false advertisement expected to be a Joel and Ellie play-through..nope a completely different ordeal because you know well If Abby was going to be in the front cover it wouldn't sold as much. The one aspect the previous game made was the story and you pretty much butchered it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego impresionante en casi todos los apartados, excepto 1, y es el más importante. La historia. La historia de este juego es floja y muy mal llevada, con incongruencias y huecos argumentales que destrozan la experiencia.
    Joel muere de forma muy estúpida, prácticamente entregándose a Abby.
    Ellie deja de ser un personaje dulce y valiente, a alguien irritante e hipócrita a más no poseer.
    Dina solo existe para decir que Ellie es lesbiana, pues pues a las 5 o 6 horas de juego ya la dejas abandonada en un teatro.
    Abby es una antagonista plana y sin gracia, pues solo es una soldado más sin motivación mayor que matar a Joel. Su razón de existir es por culpa de un personaje nada importante del primer juego y eso también le resta puntos.
    Desaprovecharon por completo utilizar a Tommy durante el juego y en su lugar nos pusieron a jugar con Abby, y he aquí otro de mis problemas. Nos meten su historia en un momento interesante y nos corta por completo el rollo. ¿Por qué la necesidad de hacer la historia de Abby tan larga? Que sí, que es para empatizar con ella y todo, pero yo no quiero jugar 11 putas horas con un personaje que odio por matar a Joel, y su historia es aburrida... No nos dice nada importante, solo lo que hicieron Abby y los demás después de estar en Jackson. Eso no me interesa en lo absoluto. Después nos meten una innecesaria e incómoda escena de Abby teniendo relaciones con Owen... No tenían que hacerlo, es simplemente innecesario y asqueroso. La historia avanza un poco y tenemos que darnos de puñetazos con Ellie, dejándola casi muerta.
    Pasa un poco más de historia y vemos el como Ellie sufre por la muerte de Joel, por lo que decide buscar a Abby para matarla... Y aquí, lo peor. Su final. Ellie encuentra a Abby y no la deja ir, pues quiere matarla. Se pelea con ella en el océano y, antes de matarla, tiene un flashback que la hace dejar ir a Abby... Ole tus huevos... ¡ASÍ NO ES UN SER HUMANO! ¡UN SER HUMANO SI LA HABRÍA MATADO! Háganlo bien la próxima, joder. Ese final no sirve, sólo hace ver a Ellie más hipócrita de lo que nos habían mostrado. Después de matar a cientos de soldados WLF y a los amigos de Abby, ¿a la asesina real la dejas vivir? ¿¡Qué te pasa!? Ellie, ella casi te mata, ella mató a Joel, a Jesse, casi mata a Dina y dejó a Tommy sin un ojo. Matala joder...
    La historia de este juego es decepcionante, y va cayendo en picada con cada momento importante que pasa... Es una gran pena.    … Expand

Yo sé que da rabia no poder matar a la persona que le quitó la vida a uno de los personajes más queridos. Solo voy hablar del final. Yo, y espero que para vosotros, veo a Ellie como si fuera metafóricamente la esperanza, y Abby la humanidad. Abby es fuerte, grande y fuerte como la humanidad, Ellie es pequeña, ágil, intenta cumplir sus metas, también pese a que es débil en su interior hay fuerza. En la batalla del final, se unieron la esperanza y la humanidad, la esperanza venció por qué es lo último que se pierde en la humanidad, también Ellie le dejo libre por qué hay que seguir adelante. Ellie también en la primera parte era esperanza. Con estos términos yo me doy cuenta de que es espectacular. También apareció una parte en el cual Ellie dijo a Joel que podía intentar perdonar a Joel por lo que hizo, entonces Ellie también podría perdonar a Abby.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Soooo. First of all this is not a review bombing, thats why there is no zero rank. Well I finished the game yesterday. And for me it was awful. Don't get me wrong, not everything was awful. I loved the gameplay mechanincs, graphics, soundtrack and AI. First half was very good, I really enjoyed the game even after that horrible death of Joel. But one thing I can't get over is how stupidly the death was written. That whole situtation is so damn stupid in wider perspective of previous game and all those situations Joel and Ellie went through. Remember how Joel saw "injured" man on the road and exactly knew what that was about? He was so experienced after so many years of survival. Same for Tommy. But now? Well I'm Tommy and this is my brother Joel hello hello come to our town you really bad looking strangers. Oh and Joel, could you please stand in the middle of the room without gun in your hand just to be easy target? Thank you. I mean come on, that is really poor writing. And don't tell me that after 4 years living in the safe city BUT still going on patrols killing clickers and dangerous strangers Joel would get so soft and incatious. I won't even start about lies in the trailers, but at least they could leave Joel in game as Ellie's halucinations or something because of that PTSD. At least we would have some sort of farewell with Joel's character. 20+ hours of gameplay and there was maybe 2 hours top with Joel around or somehow included. But how could ND do worse after this I asked myself while playing. Well the other half of the game you play as this really unlikeable character Abby who murdered Joel gruesomely. Her side of story really bored. I really didn't care about her NPC father or romance with Owen etc. How could this be a good idea? I'm really sad after this waiting. If they would at least include Joel more in the story. I hope there won't be any part III. And I hope Troy Baker will play some new awesome character in a game that is not made by Naughty Dog because I really like that guy.… Expand

Ellie es el antítesis de esta historia, no necesariamente debía ser la protagonista, sino más bien se transformo en el villano principal de la historia. Una formula aplicada en breaking bad con walter white, a diferencia es que naughty dog promocionó el juego como una venganza y lucha de ellie por conseguir sus objetivos, cosa que no era así, tiene un moraleja sobre la venganza, aveces tu actos te pueden dejar con 8 dedos y sin familia. ¿realmente quería venganza o es un mero capricho? su daño fue colateral, abby se apiadó dos veces, ella mostró humanidad. es buen juego pero difícil de digerir, no tuvo un final feliz, pero tampoco debía porque terminar todo bien en un mundo post apocalíptico.… 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.
