    Aborda temas controversos, mas de uma forma ótima. Te coloca na pele do "inimigo" e te faz sentir empatia.

    O gameplay é excelente e a história é perfeita.

    O único ponto negativo é a extensão do jogo, demorei 30h para terminar, achei um pouco longo. Único motivo da nota ter sido 9 ao invés de 10.    … Expand

These people are just mad because they want a happy ending and have a game like they would like to have, but naughty dog breaks this and presents us a an unforeseeable, brutal and thrilling gaming experience. This is a ride on a rollercoaster.
    The graphics are insane, facial expression and AI is top notch. Just one eye candy after another.

    I think over time this game will receive it's justified recognition when I remember a game like Metal Gear Solid 2 where people were upset that you aint going to play as Solid Snake. But in the end, it ends up being one of the best if not the best part of the series.

    At the end I would like to quote Arthur Morgan von Red Dead Redemption 2 who said "Revenge is a fools game".    … Expand

    After playing through the whole game I can safely say that this is the best game I have ever played, Naughty Dog has crafted another masterpiece. I would recommend this game to anyone and please do not listen to the people who haven’t played the game because there is way more to the game than just one cutscene in the beginning of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us II was a dark masterpiece that I throughly enjoyed. Despite the initial backlash of the game and review bombing, the game is actually holding up. Hopefully reviews will rise soon. The game is very very good, it isn’t for everyone though. The story is quite bittersweet and a little more on the bitter and dark side, but truly shows a raw post apocalypse. It shows many very human moments and deserves to be game of the year and one of the best I’ve every played. Most people who review bombed the game bombed it for selfish, homophobic, or trolling reasons. The game is not bad and I hope to see the score continue to rise. The game is great and I loved it. I do miss Joel, but damn Naughty Dog some how got me to like Abby and her character. Ellie’s path through the game was dark and fantastic. There is so much loss in this game but it feels very real and grounded. The setting was also beautiful and unique, I loved traveling through Seattle and seeing all that the game had to offer. I feel like the third act was a little short and a little unneeded, but I loved the ending fight, and god the ending scene with Ellie and Joel just made me cry. It’s a beautiful game, one of the first stories I was not able to put down once I got into it. The game is definitely worth a shot and definitely worth a high review.… Expand

    The first game stuck with me for a long time thanks to the actions of the characters in the game being very difficult to reconcile morally. It felt like it didn't try to make the protagonists into heroes, they were simply humans reacting to their experiences, needs, and environment. We were just observing the character's story, we were never supposed to feel like Joel or Ellie, only understand them and, when we wanted to, empathize with them. The sequel expands on this idea unapologetically, there are no heroes and villains, just a selection of humans reacting to their experiences in a complicated world. Last of us part 2 is not the player's story.

    The game is consistently uncomfortable to play, there is an overbearing sense of oppression throughout with only the smallest respites and I love it for this. This is a game that truly makes you feel. I found myself needing to take regular breaks every 3 hours or so just to decompress but this is in no way a criticism, it wouldn't have been the same experience otherwise, the tension was everpresent and palpable in a way a game has never made me feel before.

    I found the characters in this game to be so well realized that, even in the moments that made me the most uncomfortable or fearful, at no point did any of their actions feel surprising or shocking. Every action felt like the next inevitable step given who and where they were in that moment which often made these moments even more resonant; having to see characters I have loved on the path they were hopelessly trapped on.

    After finishing the game and finally letting myself read some reviews I was amazed to see such negativity about the characters. Having watched a few playthroughs from reviewers who did not rate the game highly I suspect a lot of the reactions are from how uncomfortable it can be to be taken on the journey of the story. I've seen a number of reviewers who slated the game for its character decisions but were having a genuine emotional response to character actions throughout their playthroughs, often pleading with the characters before they have even done anything just from the presumption of what is going to happen next. I would argue that if you can feel what character is going to do that consistently then the actions are pretty true to the character even if it's not what you might have hoped for them in 2013 when finishing part 1.

    The characters we loved from the first game are made by the world they are in, if we don't allow this world to affect them then the character traits we love are nonsensical. I do think that a lot of these negative opinions may change in a year once people have had time to process the game in their minds, I have already started to see people do this almost as if they were going through the stages of grief which shows how strong an emotional response naughty dog has been able to create with their storytelling.

    There is no denying the game is bleak, the hope you experience for the majority of the original is absent however the original was never really about getting the save the world cure and a happy ending; it was about the characters. Last of us 2 is an experience, I don't believe it is trying to feed you a message or teach you about morals or perspective, all it is trying to do is show you the characters' stories, for the stories to be true to the character, the experiences they are having and fundamentally the fact that they are human. In this aim Last of is faultless.

    I cannot recommend this game enough, I believe it is a unique achievement in storytelling in a game. The visuals and gameplay are highly polished and do a seamless job of staying out of the way of the story, never distracting from the journey. The last of us part 2 is a tough play for sure, but an incredibly rewarding experience, one that shouldn't be missed and will last in your mind for a long while once the credits have rolled.    … Expand

    Wanted to wait until I got the platinum before rating this. I'd give it an 8.25, compared to a 9.5 or so for the original. The gameplay is absolutely better, but the story just doesn't have the same impact of the first.

Ellie's parts of the story are just okay, and the characters are really weak (other than ellie, Joel, and Tommy). Dina might be one of the most annoying characters I have ever had tag along with me. She does nothing but constantly tell me what I'm doing is dangerous, and asked if I'm okay what felt like 500 times throughout. Abby's part, on the other hand, is a whole lot of fun with some really good characters. Some of the set pieces and action sequences are loads of fun to play through, which was oddly missing from Ellie's parts. The only problem with Abby is that her story is entirely unnecessary, no matter how fun it is. It seems like it would have been better off as a DLC or a standalone DLC like Naughty Dog has done in the past. I'm just guessing, but it almost feels like they knew the Ellie portions of the story were not up to par with what they wanted, so they just tacked on this part just to hopefully improve the fun factor. It worked, but it still is very unnecessary. The Ellie portions dealt with a lot of swimming, I'm assuming due to the fact that she just learned how to swim, but really you can either swim or not swim in video games. There's no in between. It's hard to make learning to swim into a compelling story mechanic, which I'm assuming is why she can perfectly swim during the part where she's "learning" to swim. Abby's parts deal with the fear of heights more, which is absolutely doable in a video game. Some of the things she has to deal with because of her fear of heights, really translates over to a more fear inducing experience. I know giving this an 8 after all of this criticism doesn't make sense, but I feel like this is still a high quality game that just doesn't have as good of a story as the first. people rating this below a 6 are just doing it out of spite. Play it for yourself, form your own opinion.… Expand

Sure, you're going to blast your way past a bunch of monsters, but does everyone have to die? Sometimes the best option is to escape. Unless, of course, you're in it for the sweet loots.

    Thematically, the game challenged me as a user to see each dilemma through each character. Why do Joel, Ellie, Abby, Dina, Jesse, Tommy, Yara, Lev, do what they do? Ultimately survival is key, but like I mentioned before: does everyone have to die? And what does one have to lose before they understand that some things need to be forgiven?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In a modern world full of stories of good versus evil and happily ever afters, naughty dog took a risk by telling a story where people make bad decisions, their actions have consequences, and most things end tragically. This risk cost them the respect of many fans who couldn't accept the decisions naughty dog made, but for people who kept an open mind and attempted to understand the themes they were trying to convey, the result was a thought provoking and life changing experience. I understand why other people hate this game. If you wanted to have fun, if you wanted a happy ending, if you wanted to watch Joel and Ellie's bond, then this was not the game you wanted.

    I find it stupid that people think Neil Druckman is a bad writer because they didn't like the direction he chose to take. He's the same guy that made the first game that everyone loved so much. He could've easily made a game that revolved mostly around the story told in Ellie's flashbacks, then throw some gameplay in between, the voila, you have another story of Ellie and Joel's relationship, drama, and bonding. Joel would still be alive, Abby wouldn't exist, and everyone would've loved it. That's not the game they wanted to tell. This game was not meant to be a fanservice. This was meant to be a dark, depressing experience to display the grief, anger, violence, and horror that comes from hatred and revenge.

    The part that is funny to me is that the writers played with our emotions almost too well, to the point where people hate the game. If you felt angry at Joel's death and couldn't accept it, good, that's exactly how Ellie felt. Did you hate Abby's guts and want to see her dead? Well naughty dog came out and said that's how they wanted you to feel. Unfortunately that's where most people stopped caring. If you stopped to pay attention to the story that was being told you would've realized that Abby's character was almost identical to Joel's. Two people who lost loved ones at the beginning of their stories, went down a dark path of violence, but began to regain their humanity thanks to their desire to care for a child. The reason why we hate one and love the other is the perspective we are given. We played a whole game as Joel, but Abby is introduced murdering our favorite character. However if the first game revolved around Abby and her father, with the ending being her father's death, we would've cheered as Abby beat Joel's head in.

    The cycle of violence and revenge was passed from Joel to Abby to Ellie, and I was so glad that at the end Ellie decided to break the chain. If Ellie killed Abby it would've continued with Lev seeking revenge against Ellie. I believe Ellie is the true hero of this story, and if she had carried out her vengeance she would've failed to rise above the hate just like Abby and Joel, and she wouldn't have been able to find peace. On the surface the ending does seem like Ellie just gave up and lost everything, but Ellie's story revolves mostly around her learning to forgive, and she took the first step towards being able to do that. During the game Ellie shows how much her own violent actions affect her mental state. Would Ellie ever find happiness if she killed Abby? Possibly, but it would've been that much harder. The game ends badly for Ellie, but because she spared Abby I believe there is still a shred of hope for her.

    Overall I think that the creators of this game couldn't have done a better job on telling the story they wanted us to hear. People can love or hate them for that, but I for one think this game is an absolute masterpiece of storytelling, character development, graphics, acting, animation, lighting, and music. I look forward to a third installment to the series.    … Expand

    The game was absolutely beautiful. Meaning behind everything, loved the story. I was mad and sad because Joel died, but I think the story could not have been told the other way... It was an awesome tragic story and you can clearly see moral... I can literally talk about this game for hours... It only had one flaw and I'll mention that later.
    Gameplay: Lots of things were improved from it's predecessor. You can mostly decide what to do. You can fight with weapons or be sneaky. Everything is up to you. But there are consequences... The loot is good too. Not too short, not too generous.
    Graphics: Astonishing! If I did not know what platform the game was on, I'd probably think it was PS5. Ray Tracing would be so awesome in this game.
    Attention to details: The characters are alive, they aren't some stupid NPCs. Water, bullets, destruction... Awesome.
    I'm giving this game 9, not 10 because the only thing that I did not like was Joel trusting the unknown crew. He was known to be brutal in the first game and he never trusted anyone. That lack of trust saved him as well. There might be a meaning behind this as well, but Joel should not have become that person who trusts people that easily...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first review I’m putting on a game because I feel that this game is getting too much love and too much hate at the same time, as someone who watches anime and movies everyday I feel that I have a pretty good view when it comes to character development and what would drive a character to do certain things. With the death of everyone’s, including myself, Joel the game feels like it was over and there was no point in continuing. I kept going out of respect for the creators at Naughty Dog and I’ve been getting platinum trophies for all my recent games. As the game went on I could only think about what the ending would bring because no matter what I always held a grudge against Abby, but I understood her reason for doing what she did, which Is what I would like to believe was the intended point, rather than loving the character after everything you just understand why she did it. The same Joel’s decision at the end of the first game. It wasn’t morally right but you understood why. Ellie has so much pent up anger, pain and confusion that it was easy to understand how she could slowly become a revenge driven maniac who kills everyone in her way. You may dislike her but it’s true to human nature. You get to watch as both characters develop into different people with Abby wanting to become a better person and wanting a life with Lev. Ellie has so much turmoil over wether or not she should’ve killed Abby but in the end she couldn’t bring herself down to that level any longer. The story and it’s development, while not the best, is still better than your average game, the gameplay is phenomenal much like the first game. If the ratings were out of 5 for story and out fo 5 for gameplay this would be a 3/5 for story and a 5/5 for gameplay.… Expand

    Ok, I know a lot of people talked about how AWFUL the story is, but I liked it??? It’s not a “political” game, and the only problem I really had with it was the pacing, which felt kinda clunky and was a little too long. Gameplay and visuals are amazing, a really fun experience.

    From a mental and emotional viewpoint, The Last of Us Part 2 is the most challenging game I’ve ever experienced. The narrative is a masterpiece that is both beautiful and haunting. I’ve never felt so emotionally exhausted at the end of a game. The only thing I can compare it to is traditional literature and I firmly believe this may be a turning point in the future of narrative games. TheFrom a mental and emotional viewpoint, The Last of Us Part 2 is the most challenging game I’ve ever experienced. The narrative is a masterpiece that is both beautiful and haunting. I’ve never felt so emotionally exhausted at the end of a game. The only thing I can compare it to is traditional literature and I firmly believe this may be a turning point in the future of narrative games. The game isn’t fun in any traditional sense due to the ethical, philosophical, and emotionally challenging story. That doesn’t mean the gameplay or mechanics are bad. Far from it. You simply can’t escape the story. Wiping out a herd of infected, a squad of WLF, or a group of Seraphites is in itself rewarding. Naughty Dog improved literally every aspect of the mechanics when it comes to combat, movement, stealth, and every other imaginable gameplay element. But all those improvements come at a cost for the characters and you often manage to do something fun and amazing then are immediately faced with the moral ramifications of your actions. I believe this is a game everyone should play and one that I sincerely hope challenges those players more when they put their controller down then while they have it in their hands.… Expand

This game is equally gut wrenching, intense, and cathartic. Not to say it’s not without its issues and it’s periods of downtime, but that time is spent attempting to bring some humanity to this bleak and violent world.

    The game has more depth to it than a lot of people, myself included, thought it did. When I started playing I just kept comparing it to the first one, by the end of the game I'd come to realize that part 2 has the ability to stand out on it's own and can be a great game if we give it a chance. That being said it could have been a bit longer. And some aspects could've been blended together.

    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.
