    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS!!!
    The plot seems as if it was writen by a 14 year old teen with mental disorders, killing here and there without sense, trying to colocate the player in a harsh post apocaliptic time but breaking the immersion every time with the poor cohesion.
    Killing Joel to make Ellie grow up at full is one of the most mediocre resources this game brings up.
    Abby is a flat, dull and pathetical character.
    Her reasons to act lack of deepness.

    Violence bears revenge, is the game's mantra.
    Yet still it splashes you that violence in a way that you get fed up.

    A física do jogo é inexistente em 90% do game como água que não molha grama que não amassa.
    A história é clichê e mal explicada principalmente quanto a morte de Joel.
    A IA do game deve ser comparada a uma pessoa com QI menor que de um macaco.
    Não percam tempo nem dinheiro com este jogo ele consegue ser tão quebrado como "Delays Gone".

    Gameplay mechsnics are ok, comparable to other popular games (days gone, assassin's etc) so this is like all other games. But the thing here that we as a players wanted was story. And the story and emotions behind it is just BAD.

    Anyway, let the review begin......I'll start with the pros

    Anyway, let the review begin......I'll start with the pros
    1. Graphic This game's graphic is clean(, the environment, the animation, lighting effects, characters' model quality are gorgeous.

    2. Sound Voice actors did a really good job expressing the emotion(even if it was forced), music is good but not the best.

    3(?). Gameplay It has a variety of ways to kill the enemy in details, hits really felt real and satisfiy, buuuut it kinda get bored after the first few hours, enemies are just too weak, not even hard difficulty can changed this, clunky ai, jump is useless, no real puzzles either, basically just like the first game, and gameplay ain't what the first game is praised for.

    Now......the cons
    1. Story I don't think I have to say more, there are enough reviews and summaries about how much plot holes and bad developments in this game, in conclusion, it totally destroyed what they built in the first game(F all the characters' personality in the first game, cheap flashbacks to consume the fan), and tried to build something stupid and childish enough that exceptionally failed.

    2. Characters I don't give a F about those stupid names being ranted out and unimportant unmemorable blank characters died to make me feel guilty, new characters are either annoying or boring, and they can go out as any way possible and I don't give a damn, good old characters either died or go insaned(characters breakdown), and talked about new characters like abby and lev and that careless pregnant woman, uhhhhhhhhhhhh......at this point, it is kinda amazing how they made them so unlikable, and it ain't because of the political stuff, we had similar story and characters in the telltale walking dead and nobody is against Lee died or clementine being lesbian, we had strong buffed women characters like zarya in overwatch, aloy in horizon zero dawn etc, and no one are against these, so why this game's character sucks? Because they started in a horrendous way by slaughtering the og protagonist, and don't have good story and background to back it up, make people emphasize, those super forced cheap political figures are just the straw that broke the camel's back.

    3. Scenes Some scenes are highly disturbing and the good animation and sounds just make it more uncomfortable, very double standards about censorship.

    4. Ending All you did is for nothing, the killer got away with her little bastard happily ever after cause you are forced to forgive her after killing hundreds of people oh and some dogs to get to her, and you ended all alone with 8 fingers which can't even play the guitar your father figure gave you, guess abby is the real father figure now, right????
    The point of the whole game: reVeNGe bAD yeeeeeeeet~~~~~~and it didn't make up to that point cause in the end tho one revenged(abby) got what she wanted and the one who gave up(ellie) lost everything......seriously, what a JOKE!

    Final score: 2(1 for the graphic and 1 for the sounds)

Ruined the great story of the first game, killing off a beloved character and beating the **** out of another while forcing you to play as the monstrosity that did so. Also forces you to watch a disgusting sex scene with said creature. Unfunny and weird moments like with the weird toy bow too, and various things that don't make sense in an apocalypse make this one of the most disappointing sequels ever. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Characters like Joel are shown to adept and skilled at survival in the first game, skill-fully avoiding an ambush in the early parts of the game showing his many years of experience in his line of work but fails to do that in this game for sake of the revenge plot that they wanted. His death spits in the face of fans who liked him. There's nothing wrong with giving a main character a good death. It can leave a lasting impact like Lee in the Walking Dead or Zak from Crisis Core. Those deaths resonated with fans because it was expertly crafted. This wasn't done well whatsoever.

    The ending makes no sense too, you play through the game killing left and right only to spare the antagonist you were after in the beginning of the game at the very last moment after fighting them. I get that the game wants to do the "revenge is bad" angle but it's done so poorly Ellie's motives make no sense considering what she's done to get there. I honestly felt like it was written by somebody else entirely, somebody with an abysmal writing experience and knows nothing about the writing or the game's characters.

    The gameplay was always mediocre too, nothing that amazing, you might as well watch it on Youtube.
    The only thing redeeming about the last of us is the characters and graphics, the former is done so poorly in this game.

    Never really liked the first game but really don't like this game.
    Don't recommend it, just watch the cutscenes on Youtube if you really have to.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do you start? Firstly, Ive given 4 based on the graphics, character models, environment and AI improvements.

    What made the first game phenomenal? Story. It had fantastic characters like Tess, Bill (who was gay) Sam, Henry, David. Fleshed out human characters, evil or not. We had a brilliant character development; Joel bitter after losing Sarah but seeing her in Ellie; a broken, lost girl with a kick ass attitude. The ending was what I call a parents ending. I wouldnt let my child die to save a world that doesnt deserve saving. Id kill to protect my child, like Joel did.

    All that is MEANINGLESS. Its GONE. It is CLEAR that the creative brains behind TLOU did not make TLOU2. Dont buy it. Dont let it taint the first.

    In a parralel universe, Joel is a grandfather to Ellie and Dinah's child. Enduring and surviving mutated cordyceps creatures in a world which is increasingly dying.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. До последнего не хотел верить в такие оценки, не хотел оценивать игру пока не прошёл до конца лично, и вот спустя 40 часов геймплея на хардкоре, я это сделал. Сюжет высосан из пальца чуть более чем полностью. Основная завязка игры построена на непонятной ненависти и жестокости. Вся игра это какая то какая то бессмысленная месть. Абсолютно нелепое действие дать контроль за антагониста на половину игры и заставить ИЗБИВАТЬ ПРОТОГАНИСТА В КОНЦЕ. Всю игру все всех ненавидят. Ни один персонаж не вызвал каких-то чувств, кроме непонимания, зачем они все это делают. Первая часть привязала к персонажам минут за 5. И это все, это главная составляющая игры. Сам игровой процесс в первой части не блистал, а просто дополнял историю, позволяя глубже проникнуться. Здесь та же самая ситуация (только истории как таковой нет), сумбурная смесь RE, MGS и TR. Ничего необычного, местами скучно, местами интересно.
    В итоге мы получаем посредственную бродилку, с графикой вида «не подходите близко» и с бесполезным сюжетом. И возможно эта игра заслуживает 7 баллов и звание «уверенного среднечка» игромании, но, НО ЭТО THE LAST OF US. И называйся эта игра как угодно, но не TLOA это было бы так. Но это не какая то игра, это сильнейший провал франшизы, что я видел.

    Its not individual characters merely "existing" that is the problem with this game, it's about the bigger picture, why they were created and what they represent.

    Its not individual characters merely "existing" that is the problem with this game, it's about the bigger picture, why they were created and what they represent.

    Now it's no secret that Anita Sarkeesian (who is a very vocal LGBTQ advocate and radical feminist) was brought on to advise on the game (and Uncharted 4 for that matter) her role included scrapping dialogue and characters that were deemed too "offensive" or "insensitive"

    Red flag number one.

    A great example, being Bill in the original. The average player would not have picked up on the fact that he was gay, It was very subtle and well written. Now, it was subtle because his sexuality was not neccecery to the scene, and in most cases isnt a detail that needs to be divulged. It's a very private and personal matter. Which is why it was executed perfectly. By a magazine.

    Being gay should not and is not a "personality trait" and should not be overtly shoved in the consumers face.

    Why? Because we dont care!

    Now TLOU2 has many cases of "Token" characters. Characters who's personalities are characterised by their Race, Sexuality or Gender and they ARE forced into the plot.

    TLOU2 has characters who are Trans, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, etc.

    But not because they contribute to the pre established plot. The foundations set from the plot of the previous entry was completely cast aside to allow for the NEW CAST of LGBTQ token characters.

    Now no reasonable person has any issue with characters being gay, or trans, or other. It is when they are thrown into the plot for the sake of fulfilling a diversity quota.

    Straight white males Joel and Tommy are executed to make way for the new order.

    And it's a real shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: Graphics are outstanding. Environment is beautiful and in some cases as stunning and well thought out as the first game.

    The game is very lineal and tends to feel more like a hallway but the environment makes up for that. In some areas I could have spend hours exploring and wanted more places to explore.

    The flash backs of Ellie and Joel/Tommy were by far the best parts of the game and I would have played hours of just that if I could forgo everything else.

    Cons: When you have a story based game, that had a first game built on and loved as a story based game. There are always extreme expectations when you do a sequel, even when a sequel isn't necessary, you have to really pull out all the stops to make the story feel as amazing and loved as the first one. In the Last of Us 2 the story writing is weak. The game uses cheap and manipulative story mechanics to push players into feeling sympathy for Abby and desperately attempts to make Ellie into some kind of revenge monster. It disregards a fact that Abby put all her friends in danger for selfish reason. If Abby had overcome her own loss she would have never dragged her friends along with her on some cheap revenge kill. No never mind that this is the apocalypse, communication is non existent outside of CB radios.

    Yet they travel thousands of miles on foot to kill this one person that they have no idea what he looks like or if he is still alive. I digress, the game makes every effort to force Abby onto the player. Ignoring fundamental flaws in story telling. What they should have done if built the audience up first to like Abby, maybe have the players play Abby for the first half of the game traveling across parts of the US. Then once the players develop that connection, then slam them with quite possibly the worst killing of a beloved character in gaming history. For people playing LOU2 and not the first game it would be fairly easy to not see the obscenities over this death. It was sadistic and in that moment sealed the ideal that Abby is inherently Evil.

    Abby never feels remorse for her actions, despite her actions being the direct result of everyone in her groups death. Essentially her selfishness was the cause of countless of lives. She suggested torturing People from Joel's town in order to find Joel. And later in a section where you are playing as Abby there is a conversation between her and two other pointless characters where they discuss a truce being broken with the SCARS. Abby's group shot and killed children and they justified it because those kids attacked their people first. The WLF from your very first interactions in NOTHING compared to Joel's group. They are clearly violent and have killed thousands with their "trespassers" mentality. They are a shoot first ask later and it didn't take Ellies actions to cause that.

    I could go on for hours about the terrible story but lets move one. The game at times is boring. I actually fell asleep while playing it multiple times and had to literally power my way through it because the pacing was just so damn bad. There were times I would make as much noise as possible in hoes to alert enemies just so I could have something to do because despite the beauty of the environment. In the sections where literally nothing is happening there is just not enough to explore to keep a players interest. Its so hallway based and just doesn't allow you to explore these clearly beautiful environments.

    The constant fade to blacks.... I just can't, they are so beginner and just drop constantly. The reminded me of the old Batman TV cuts where the bat symbol would spin and play music at every cut. I've watched beginner YouTubers better at cutting than that.

    THE ENDING! I literally just can't with that, at all. It was so unsatisfying and badly done. I can't give too many details or complaints without dropping massive spoilers. Even though at this point, it's moot.

    LASTLY: The dishonesty! The trailers for TLOU2 were manipulated and consumers were made to believe that Joel had a much larger role than he had, which was very little. Naughty Dog pulled a fast one and it really left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths. They used Joel for sales numbers because he was so beloved and raw. If we were in the same situation as Joel had been placed, many of us would have been Joel and very few of us would have been Abby. That is the key point ND and Neil Druckmann really failed to understand.

    Killing Dogs. Now this part is very personal for me. I died many, many times to avoid it. I was led to believe that this would be an option in the game. Until that also became a flat out lie. Which for me immediately triggered a panic attack and was very stressful. When I was 6, I was forced to watch as my dog was shot to death in front of me as a punishment. The fact that I was led to believe that killing anything in this game is option is absolutely despicable and i should have had a warning.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly pathetic.. first y'all go on with your false advertising.. inserting Joel into scenes wich don't exist or he's model is just swapped out for Jesse's with the same exact **** line... You knew people weren't gonna buy this dog**** if you told them Joel dies at the getgo by playing a bit of golf with that mother****** Abby.
    Yes Joel needed to die for the story to work but he didn't need to die like this.. you guys literally dumbed him down just to serve the plot.. the Joel I knew and loved would never have trusted Abby enough to go back to her mansion and neither Tommy nor Joel would've uttered their names like "hi my name's **** Joel I killed the fireflies we live in a city downhill oh some big guns y'all got there you have ammo?here take mine and shoot me in the goddamn leg".
    And it wasn't just Joel.. Ellie is extremely unlikeable.. alongside with Dina and Jesse.. on Abby's side is the same **** unlikeable characters and even tho I felt ok with Owen's character the pacing and the timing of them flashbacks were so dog**** that by the time we got to them I couldn't care less and was already over the fact that they died and just wanted to get back to Ellie or just **** finish the game..
    Ellie's and Dina's relationship feels as forced as homework felt in the 3rd or 4th grade.. not because they're both females.. swap Dina out for a male character and it still would've been utter garbage...
    I ain't even gonna talk abou the ending cuz that **** made me wanna wash my eyes with **** Griffin acid from the Witcher because that game was actually amazing.. but rn as the metascore stands this **** is better than TW3...
    This game proves that good graphic doesn't make a good game.. I also like how youtubers had to mute certain sections because of copyright.. like you know people are gonna make content so why make the half of it **** copyrighted...
    The only two characters that were decently written were Yara and Lev and none of them **** matter at the end..
    0/10 for this hot **** garbage game.. would've given it a 1/10 if Abby would've **** died or Ellie atleast.. they cant both live we want closure ... And yes I say Ellie because by the end I hated her just as much as I hated Abby and would've had no problem if she died... **** Neil Druckmann and **** Naughty Dog! Waited 7 years for nothing..

    MOST DISAPPOINTING GAME EVER!

    This is The Last Jedi of video games. It's the Terminator: Dark Fate of video games. This is a story based game first and foremost where the main characters are very important. The game play comes second. So the story is what makes or breaks a game like this. We all fell in love with the story and the characters in the first game, but in The Last Of Us Part 2 you hate the story and the treatment Joel and Ellie gets. Both their characters gets destroyed. Joel and Ellie are totally out of character in this game and doing things that contradicts everything we've learned about them in the first game. The new main character is totally unlikeable and a complete failure.

    The music is good, the graphics are good, the voice acting is good, but it all comes down to the story and that fact is that the story is a complete failure. Naughty Dog has a done a game for themselves and the woke crowd on Twitter. The game is not for the fans of the first game. They took all the things fans loved in the first game and destroyed them and replaced them with a progressive agenda.

    My interest for this game died about 2 hours into the game when there is a key event in the game that will upset the fans. Prepare to get your expectations subverted. After that I was not engaged in the story at all, I didn't care what happened and the attempt to get you more involved in the story backfired totally. For the rest of the game you really are just hunting down people to get revenge and in the end that is also a failure because the ending is not at all what you want as a fan. The developers totally missed the mark on that too.

    DON'T BUY IT! CHECK TWITCH OR YOU TUBE INSTEAD!

    YOU WILL THANK ME FOR SAVING YOU 60 DOLLARS!

Locations - well it’s mostly one big, unlike the first part where there were four seasons of the year, cities, suburbs, even the sewage system in which the survivors once arranged a settlement. Almost all locations can be cleaned by shooting opponents if you do not miss to often (passed on an average difficulty level) Closer to the middle of the game there is a feeling that you are watching an uninteresting series and are already ready to quit, but still you want to find out what happened in the end since you already started.
    Well, and as a bonus, guess what will become of all key straight characters?

There are many games that I have played over the years, and there are only a few that I've disliked to the point of actually getting a refund: this game is one of those few. Imagine if Square-Enix came out with a direct sequel to Final Fantasy VII, and in the first 30 minutes or so, you brutally murder Cloud Strife and he had no way to defend himself all while a party of goons forced Tifa to watch one of her closest friends die. That is what this game has done to Joel. While I will admit the graphics are superb, the story and gameplay, or lack thereof, is terrible. As many have said, this game would've done far better as a movie, and at least with bad movies, it's easier to wash the bad taste away afterwards. Expand

I was disgusted to play for Abby, because this character killed my beloved hero, and I was simply not interested in playing for her.
