    I don't understand people who give 1 or 0 rating.
    I know that there a few controversial points, but it does not deserve such a low rating.
    I played TLOU 1 and was happy to play TLOU 2, this game is amazing.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is a worthy sequel to the the original last of us, that expands and improves on the gameplay in the original. The story and characters is enthralling and risky...... I love it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es una maravilla, después de terminar la historia principal deja un buen sabor de boca. El único problema sería que la historia trata de empatizar con la que primero se nos presenta como villana, y al final tratan de hacernos comprender por qué hace lo que hacer dentro del juego. En mi caso no generó ese sentimiento hacia Abby, faltó una mejor narrativa para lograrlo.
    El gameplay y los gráficos son excelentes    … Expand

    Similiar gameplay first one. Amazing visuals. Meh story. People cant handle story some reasons. But game is not garbage. This is just show us how gamers are crybaby. Great example for future gaming company. Always give what fans need. No need experiment. Or this mob come after you.

    A mi me parece que nos dan dos prespectivas de una misma historia, la venganza, una con Ellie, que la está buscando aunque ponga en peligro a sus seres queridos, como Dina o Jesse, y otra de una venganza ya consumada y sus repercusiones, la historia de Abby. La razon de Abby para matar y torturar a Joel me parece que tiene mucho sentido, Joel dando su nombre a unos desconocidos me parece estupido pero tambien tiene sentido para mi, este Joel ya no es el mismo del primer juego, ya no es el contrabandista frio y desconfiado del mundo, ahora tiene una vida tranquila con Tommy y las demas personas con las que convive, volvio a tener lo que los infectados le quitaron, pero aunque salvo a Ellie, sus mentiras la alejaron y eso molesta a Joel constantemente, todo eso hizo que Joel se relaje y no piense que esos extraños quisieran matarle, ademas Tommy ya habia revelado el nombre de Joel mientras escapaban de los infectados. Y la cruzada de Ellie, ella busca a Abby y sin duda si la hubiese encontrado primera en lugar de a los otros lobos, la hubiese matado sin dudarlo, es por el viaje, por todo lo que tuvo que hacer, torturar y matar a los amigos de Abby, se convertía en alguien quien no era, Ellie no estaba a gusto matando a las personas, si, en la campaña nos cargamos a muchos lobos y scars, pero es porque ellos apenas nos ven ya nos disparan, pero cuando nosotros tenemos a una persona a punta de pistola Ellie solo le pregunta por Abby, hasta que intentan atacar a Ellie, todo esto se hara notar al final. La tan agridulce parte de Abby, yo cuando empece a jugar como Abby pense, me haran jugar como la asesina de Joel, que hdp, pero al final ya no pensé asi, la forma en la que muere su padre haria que cualquiera pierda la cordura, un tipo cualquiera viene, mata a tu padre y a muchas luciernagas y se lleva la unica posible vacuna en contra del virus que azota el mundo, para ella Joel es un villano total, solo nosotros los jugadores sabemos lo que pasaron Joel y Ellie y por eso los queremos tanto, pero lo que hizo Joel, ni Ellie pudo perdonarlo, en fin, lo que pasó Abby luego de matar a Joel es un infeirno, quien diga que Ellie y Tommy no se vengaron, no jugaron el juego, todas las personas cercanas de Abby murieron a manos de Ellie y Tommy, a causa de su venganza, Owen, Mel, Nora, el tipo al que Tommy disparo en la cara, creo que era Manny, asesinados a sangre fria, Nora hasta fue torturada, eso suena mucho peor a que Ellie solo mate a Abby, y sumandole lo que pasó en la isla Scarr, la muerte de Yara, Abby sufrió muchisimo a causa de haberse vengado de Joel, y aunque hubiese matado a Ellie y Tommy cuando pudo, Maria, Dina, Jesse y todo Jackson los buscarian y habria otra guerra con mas muertes, lo unico que le quedó era Lev, ese niño que la salvó, era lo unico que le quedaba, por eso no mató a Ellie cuando pudo, ya sufrió la muerte de sus amigos por la venganza, por eso no se vengó de Ellie, por Lev, tambien quiero destacar la parte del hospital que me tuvo con los pelos de punta y la parte de la pelea final entre lobos y scars, eso estuvo intenso y buenisimo. En fin, el final, para mi Ellie ya no odiaba a Abby, ella no podia vivir con ella misma por no poder haber perdonado a Joel, el se fue sin que ella pueda perdonarlo, y se odia mas a si misma por no querer matar a Abby, Joel tampoco querria ese camino para ella, Abby ni siquiera se iba a defender, Ellie la obliga a pelear, para mi el final nos muestra de nuevo las consecuencias de la venganza y del rencor, Ellie pierde a Dina, a su hijo, pierde los dedos para tocar la guitarra que Joel le enseño a tocar, y si mataba a Abby se iba a perder a ella misma, lo se, suena cursi o sentimental, pero asi son los humanos, y asi es Ellie a mi parecer, entiendo muchos fans esten decepcionados por que no la mato, matarla es lo que los fans queriamos, torturó a nuestro idolo Joel, aunque ya pago y con intereses por haberlo matado. Para mi, es final es eso, un final, no lo senti bueno ni malo, lo senti real, en la vida no todo termina de forma espectacular, y eso vemos constantemente en el juego, no le doy puntaje, solo dire que a mi me encantó, me sorprendió, no era lo que esperaba y me hizo pensar mucho en las decisiones de los personajes, en fin, un juego que sera odiado y amado, pero dificilmente olvidado.    … Expand

Да она немного хуже 1 части, но не критично.Мне игра не понравилась тем,что мы очень долго играли за эбби,я лично ни капли к ней не привязался,и мы билли элли. Как это понять вообще? я швырнул джойстик ,бить элли? вы бы еще заставили убить Джоэла . И само собой финал был нелогичным и смазанным,цель игры не была достигнута. Эбби заслужила смерть.

    Most of the people who rate this based teir rating on the spoiler or just streamed it on YT. I can assure you that half of these people havent even played the game. Just because something doesnt go your way you would cry about it. They did Joel wrong I must admit but still the story and the journey of ellie is worth the experience

    Propels the future of gaming ahead in ways not unlike the first. Extraordinary performances, impeccable world building and stunningly rendered animation and action. Don’t listen to the triggered gamerboys. This “game” is extraordinary and filled with humanity and passion. We should be so lucky to have more like it.

    Graphics are insane,gameplay is on point,the story,especially the ending got me pissed off, but for any one who played through it all,Will know is about breaking the cycle of violence, its a masterpiece for me, reminds me of an old adage,he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword,something like that, so its a 10 all the way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Warning: the following review contains some major spoilers for The Last Of Us Part II

    7 years after the masterpiece that was The Last Of Us, The Last Of Us Part II was the perfect love song and sequel to its predecessor. Filled with vengeance, love, and loss, the sequel does more than keep you on the edge of your seat with it’s immersive storytelling, beautiful graphics, and twists and turns guaranteed to leave you speechless.
    Plot: within the first hour, Joel is tragically tortured and killed by a new character known as Abby and her group. It’s not clear who she is but you later find out that she and another accomplice are former fireflies and we as the player come to the conclusion that their act was simply a retaliation after what Joel had done back at the hospital controlled by the Fireflies. This sends Ellie and Joel’s brother Tommy on a warpath to avenge Joel’s murder and kill each and every last person that was present during the execution. Gripped by fear, anger, and a sense of guilt, Ellie’s journey through the story is met by hardships and heavy losses with nothing but her sheer will to settle the score. With the exceptional character development by the writers you learn that Abby and Ellie are just 2 sides of the same coin when you find out that Abby’s father was the lead doctor and surgeon that was gunned down by Joel during his shakedown of the hospital. Ellie and Abby’s final showdown is nothing less than a tear jerker knowing both of these strong female leads want nothing but to alleviate the heavy burden both of them carry. The Last Of Us Part II will go down as one of, if not THE greatest video game in modern history and is a perfect send to the PlayStation 4 as we enter a new era of next generation of gaming consoles.    … Expand

    One of the best games for me overall (playing since 1994 and have all major platforms)
    Sound, gameplay and stunning visuals goes without any questions.... but script is very controversial. For me - it is the most intimate and emotional story in my whole life.

Por lo menos, en mi caso logro enfatizar y me gustaría ver una tercera parte con esta HISTORIA.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It seems most people have missed the point. It’s a shame to see it review bombed because people have missed the point. It seems the people who rate it above 7/10 can actually articulate why they have given it the score they have. The negative reviews just seem inaccurate, missing key points in the game that counter there own arguments. Or are just so in love with Joel they can’t move past his death. It’s a meta game, I hated what the leaks said, I also hated the game for the first 10 hours. Once I reflected on what happens, and how it happened. I love what they did. It’s not perfect, but rarely does a game come along that will burrow this deep under your skin. For good and bad reason. The game is a 9/10 for me, but given the huge amount of 0/10 by salty “fans” I’m giving it a 10 to try and balance it out.… Expand

Nobody is immune to tragedy, not even the main characters - there's no place for storybook endings in their reality.
    As for the plot - the story is not badly written, not by a long shot. Honestly, the way in which this story was crafted is nothing short of genius. Ellie and Abby mirror each other. While they view one another to be the villain, they're really one and the same, which calls into question the topic of right, wrong, and morally gray, all while serving as a powerful caveat for those who may be seeking revenge.

    If you're on the fence about playing the game or not, play it. Truly, it's one of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There were moments in this game that were uplifting and moments of darkness. You have Jackson where the biggest drama is bar and snowball fights. To seattle where life is tenuous in a multitude of ways. You get an insight into the relationship between Joel and Ellie. Which although flawed gives hope. I really struggled with Abby initially but once the rose coloured specs come off there are parallels you can draw between her and Ellie except we can see Joel smiling when she saves herself by finally not following through something that would haunt her. Joel clearly cares about her welfare more than his own. Brilliant scene that shows this in the hotel even when tensions were taught between them.You can even see Abby haunted by killing joel as her story progresses. I really would like LOU3 to continue the theme, but back with Joel. I think there is much more of a story besides him losing his daughter that drives him to save Ellie. I also think the story of the brothers could be a strong one surrounding the fireflies and the estrangement.

    Finally, I'm not sure what all the hate is about, its uncomfortable playing as Abby initially but it pays off IMHO.


    Thanks for a great story and am looking forward to a second playthrough.    … 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]
