    Deeper than the first, refined gameplay, present and fun replay factor and the Graphics are a delight for the eyes. The Last of Us Part II is an incredible game for those who are willing to not only play a great game, but to have an experience unlike anything that has been released in recent years.

    Played original game and sequel back to back. It was an emotional rollercoaster jumbled with outstanding game play like nothing I experienced ever before.

    Story in the sequel cuts deep emotioanlly and though I LOVED the experience, the story itself was so dark and affective It really beat me up emotionaly. I hardly can say this about any game I played before.

    Magnificent sequel!

I highly recommend this to everyone. The gameplay is phenomenal, the story is impacting, and overall another masterpiece in I really felt was coming. This game taught me something people should've paid closer attention to. The perspective of two characters and their times of pain, trauma, loss, love, hate, anger, vengeance, and everything else within is came with lesson learned. Vengeance brings no one and nothing back, because it would only bring suffering in the end. I am glad I have experienced this game. The beginning and the end of thid game's dark and gritty sotry made perfect sense. I applaud the developers for their hard work on everything. I applaud the actors for their performances. I applaud this franchise. And I applaud this year for bringing me The Last Of Us Part II.

    Whoever down votes this game out of hatred needs to educate themselves more, and needs professional help. If you can't handle how a story of two characters is told, then you shouldn't enjoy anything.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. naughty dog, keep surprising us with your games.
    Joel’s death was a strong scene in the game, and it was supposed to be a tad bit different. Druckmann spoke of this while discussing the scenes that they altered or scrapped from the game.
    “In the first edit of that scene, you felt nothing. Ellie’s being held down and Joel’s looking at her and we had this idea of like, “Oh man Joel’s brain is so f***ed up at that moment that the only word that’s coming out of his mouth is his daughter’s name, ‘Sarah.’” It felt powerful, but then Troy [Baker] — to his credit — was like, “I don’t think he should say anything.”

    A unique, engaging story for a mature audience. An atmospheric world, refined film dialogues. animations at a very high level. amazing sound and ambient. pleasant control. Refined in every way. the only drawback that comes to mind is the strange steering of the boat and the slightly out-of-the-box episode on the island of Scars.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece arguably let down by it’s introduction of an unexpected protagonist Abby, heavy use of flashbacks which arguably spoil its pacing, and largely depressing revenge story of Ellie left struggling to cope with PTSD after witnessing the brutal execution of a beloved central character . Many of the gripes about playing the game with a new character however, become less felt once you complete the game. The new game plus further allowing you to relive the story with all your hard earned upgrades carrying over. You also have a new mode allowing you to replay combat scenarios and exploration if you don’t feel like replaying the story cutscenes and flashback sequences.

    Epic and memorable if tragic story. Great combat and exploration, great AI and intensely detailed environments. It’s a masterpiece of game but perhaps not terribly popular with fans of the first game.

In no other video game (or any media format for that matter) have I felt so connected to a set of characters. The depth given the story and characters in this game is truly transcendent. Gameplay mechanics are what you could expect from ND, slightly tweaked for a much more satisfying gameplay experience. Starting the game with a knife does suck out some of the tension in clicker confrontations, but the difficulty curve shoots upwards, so don’t get too comfortable. Don’t be afraid to adjust the difficulty throughout your journey (the difficulty settings are a great evolution more games should adopt), but latter difficulty settings enhance the immersion and tension. I can’t think of the last time I’ve had so much post-game discussion and debate with friends, maybe Metal Gear Solid 2? After my first run though, I confidently moved this into my top 3 video games of all time. I will die on this hill. Expand

    About the plot: I'm not a fanboy, I can criticize a game when it's due, and I recognize this one has some flaws. Still, this is a decent sequel do the masterpiece that was TLOU 1, and it doesn't have happy endings.
    This game introduced 3 new groups trying to strive, and all 3 are willing to go on the gruesome path to secure their survival. People don't die heroes in this world, people are seeking revenge for even the smallest things, people are trying to protect what they love the most. It's the most human representation of what would happen if an actual apocalypse took over. The focus here is not a cure, it's the relations and acts characters have to go through to secure their survival.
    The characters have some dumb decisions sometimes, but in the end, this game is trying to make you see the two sides of the coin: Ellie and Abby. You get to play as both of them, and it's awesome to see all perspectives. The plot keep moving at a slow pace, and there's a chapter who could be completely deleted because it felt dragged, but in the final showdown, it has a clear message. This game is about consequences. It's not epic, it's not pretty, it's not happy. It's tangible and human. Still, I did miss some strong supporting characters like in the first one. We don't get an Henry or a Bill here, and the new characters are likable at best. Not good, not bad either, I didn't just developed a strong connection with them, but they serve and move the story just fine. Hence my 9. Great experience, dont fall on the hate wagon, people are losing it because one narrative choice that had to happen sooner or later. This is a story about consequences, and it comes to all our beloved characters. People in this world don't get to escape their actions.

    I really like both and what they driven trought the game. But it is really sad Neil Druckmann killed Joel. Like if he killed Nathan Drake. The atmosphere not as good as the first game.
    Troy Baker voice acting little bit disapointing too. That strained texas accent is too much. I never heard speaking like that in the fist game.
    They over-separated the depressing and the happier parts.
    The overall ending after the two characters met at the ending is lack of atmosphere. Ellie at the farm with Dina and after Dina is so empty... At least Abby give us some emotions.

    If they give us only Abby's story in this game without killing Joel and give her an other motivation to find the Fireflies or at least what was left of it would be much better.
    And atleast we never know about Joel and Ellie and how Druckman ruined them in this game...

    The first game ending is so beautiful... Compare to THIS...

    Story 4/10
    Gameplay 8/10

    Atleast Uncharted 4 has a great and beautiful ending.
    And Neil Druckmann did not kill Nathan Drake.

    Great game in all its aspects. In my opinion, the story is good, and its something i've never seen before, leaving me emotionally devastated tbh. The only reason im not giving it a 10/10 is because of some pacing problems in certain points of the story. No, its not as good as the first one, but its an excellent game.

    Uma jogo excelente em gráficos e narrativa. Um enredo muito corajoso e que causa várias reflexões. Se dividir em episódios de 60 minutos você terá uma excelente série nos moldes da HBO, Hulu, Amazon ou Netflix. Valeu cada centavo investido.

Ver como continua esta grandiosa historia de Ellie y Joel y cómo todos estos años, y los eventos que han ocurrido mientras, han marcado la vida de este par y nos ayudan a entender todos estos nuevos aspectos de sus personalidades que hemos conocido en esta nueva edición.

    Este es un juego lleno emociones, sorpresas y diversión como rara vez se ve. Desde la trama de la historia hasta las mecánicas de los movimientos y combates, es lo que llamamos una obra de arte y en definitiva una continuación que le hace justicia a la primera parte.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this game. The gameplay was excellent and the addition of the prone position and the tall and short grass for cover really added a great stealth dimension to the game that was absent in the first game. The story may be divisive but personally I loved it - I absolutely hated playing as Abby to start with but over time it humanises her character and makes you question Ellie's motives. In the end I was satisfied with how it all played out and felt like it was a fitting end to what was a great story.

    Technically this game is a masterpiece on 7 year old hard ware. The way they engineered the loading times after death in comparison to some other games was welcome. The motion capture and facial expression animations are unrivaled in gaming.

    Gameplay is fine, just not my cup of tea, and it is not seem to be the main issue. Story is where game shines.

    Nobody were supposed to “like” this story. Unless of course you live and breathe for heavy, grueling and devastating emotional pressure that is. Fun and joy are not the goals here and I think majority rejects the game exactly because of the complexity of emotions it provokes. And naturally so. Nobody likes such complex emotions which apparently people have hard time processing nowadays and hard time facing the gray area of human existence, a duality and complexity we all represent. It is realistic and existential and it is damn hard. It cuts close to the bone to an extent that it is not fiction anymore and seem too real. Especially in times like these.

    But i believe it was necessary reminder. Naughty Dog were brave to do it so perfectly nuanced and on point. They did it very well. Public reaction is proof. They did what they wanted to achieve and not without fighting great doubts i believe. That is how true art is born, that is how things change and that is why they should be proud of their achievement even if right now it doesn't feel so rewarding.

    People need time to process.

    I want to believe that after some time The Last of Us II will get recognition as a great piece of art it truly deserves.

    With all of my heart, i wish TLOU II creators and participants all the best. Stay strong, stay safe and stay Naughty.

    Spoiler free. Clearly the terrible reviews since release of the game where made by people who haven't even played the whole game until the end. The decisions that naughty dog made with tlou2 were brave. It all makes sense if you finished the game. This game is a masterpiece and deserves to be GOTY

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a masterpiece. So Where to start?. The gameplay is phenomenal with some of the best stealth gameplay I’ve ever seen. The option to craft silencers as well as going prone actually make a huge difference. The animations set the bar for the gaming industry. Gustavo Santaolella has composed the soundtrack so well, it really makes the game experience so damn good. The sound design is amazing and playing with headphones increases the tension of each encounter, I’d highly recommend it. The graphics are some of
    best I’ve ever seen, it truly looks next gen. Now last but not least, the story. The story will definitely polarize players. It has some narrative choices that you may not like but as the story continues, these narrative choices make sense and ultimately work with the game’s theme of hate and the cycle of violence and how it challenges your notion of hero vs villain. In this game there are no heroes or villains, there are just people. The new characters are amazing. I’ll say that the supporting characters in Part II are much better than in the first game. But I’d say the best new character is Abby. The way her plot line was handled could have been executed a bit better. They could have made you play as her first and show her motives before a major event happened. Dina and Ellie’s relationship was amazing and I’d say Joel and Ellie were better but this was still an awesome relationship. The ending will divide everyone but I personally believe it shows redemption in an awesome way. Overall the game does have some flaws such as the way Abby’s plotline was handled but ultimately the game is a masterpiece and I would rate it as one of the best games of this generation. I still can’t decide between it or Red Dead Redemption 2. Thank you to Naughty Dog for blowing me away once again. I would recommend this game, despite all the review bombing and flaws a play through is most definitely worth it.

A obra-prima da Naughty Dog serve como ponto de gerações, expondo histórias profundas, somente possíveis através deste meio interativo. O jogo é uma verdadeira montanha-russa de sentimentos fortes que são provocados por algumas decisões ousadas da história. Não é preciso dizer que é uma maravilha olhar, ouvir e tocar, pois retrata a paisagem urbana mais bem-realizada e detalhada mundo pós-apocalíptico que vimos em um jogo até o momento. A Parte II é, redutivamente falando, uma história de vingança encharcada de sangue. Se o tema das obras da primeira geração for "amor", diga quanto uma pessoa está disposta a pagar por amor, então, o tema desse é "ódio", quando o ente querido é ferido, os princípios e resultados serão quebrados por vingança, e como sedentos de sangue e loucura cairão nela? É por essa razão que o tom geral do Parte II é ainda mais frio, e até os traços de calor e esperança nas obras originais serão cruelmente esmagados... "abuso" é a história que me trouxe com a experiência mais intensa. Ainda mais "cruel" é que a história e a caracterização, são muito delicadas. Não são apenas os rostos antigos de Ellie e Joel nesta jornada, você também colocará mais e mais emoções em novos personagens e, em seguida, substituirá o pensamento, o entrelaçamento e a dor. Para aqueles que se machucam, você sentirá um ódio extremamente forte, a seguinte vingança e assassinato parecem ser lógicas e imperativas. Isso não é apenas porque ele usa os altos e baixos da trama para trazer altos e baixos emocionais intensos, terrores, choques, arrependimentos, alívio etc., mas também porque mostra a complexidade dos personagens e a delicadeza do coração e o que você é e as pessoas com quem você se importa não são perfeitas nem estritamente "boas pessoas", mas se sentem mais reais e dispostas a colocar emoções nelas. TLOU Part II me fez ter várias emoções, mesmo o final sendo muito inesperado, no qual teve muitas críticas negativas de alguns jogadores mas ainda sim se torna maravilhoso e único. Expand

    Que jogo incrível! Tudo é perfeitamente pensando, roteirizado e dirigido. O melhor jogo da geração e o melhor exclusivo de PlayStation 4. Até hoje não teve uma história tão boa quanto essa. O gráfico do jogo é impecável e a jogabilidade é muito boa, conseguiu evoluir muito a do primeiro jogo. Esse jogo precisa ser jogado por todos que possuem um PlayStation 4.

    No, this Is not a perfect Game (no Game Is) but i find it to be a huge accomplishment. I Have put some 50 hours into this Game, played it twice, loved it twice. No, i am not a "shill". I went into it with really, really low expectations, the discourse and hate had killed My hype for it. "The story SUCKS" "The Script Is BAD".

    After playing through the game for 25 hours it was clear that this was a massive upgrade to its already incredible prequel.

    The enemies are also vastly improved from the first game and the new infected types are terrifying to encounter for the first time. The human enemies ended up being the tougher enemies at times due to the way the AI functions.

    There’s a lot of review bombing and negative comments about the storyline but for me it clicked every harden than the first game. The story is about consequences and the cycle of vengeance and is handedly very poignantly. For people who can’t get over the plot twists, that’s a shame but maybe they can go on to write their own stories and games if they feel they know better? Some of the latter set pieces are as intense as something in a high-budget Hollywood film.

    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]
