A história é de cada um se gostou ou não mas o jogo é incrível com gráficos e jogabilidade, TRISTE saber que o jogo tinha review negativa em só algumas horas do lançamento que é impossível de zerar em 3 horas mas foi o suficiente para haters boomer HOMOFÓBICOS e racistas encherem de nota vermelha.

    The story is actually really good, people just need to get over it and what happens and actually take in the games story for what it is. If you are holding off buying it then don't, buy the physical COMPLETE the game not just the first part and throw your dummy out and then if you don't like it sell it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game bring you doubt, rage, sadness and uncontables feelings. When u are in combat u feel fear, anxiety, adrenaline and everytime u kill someone you feel a little bit of the wish of revenge being sated . the player expect that u gonna kill the antagonist will feel yourself good and the game will be over but the game extends making you play with the antagonist, some players just want to go fast by the disgust thtat we have with she but after u see his side their love one each other u start to get empathy. The game makes the antagonist pass by everything what joel pass on TLOU 1 like a divine punishment and the player see that if ellie doesn`t go in search of revenge probably Abby would be killed tryng to protect Lev in the same way that Joel died trying to protect Ellie by she, showing up that everything we do here we pay here and go after revenge would make you just lose all u have here, searching for what the life gonna already make your hated one suffer. Ellie killing friends of Abby just make herself "killing" his friends, and all Abby will pass with Lev will happen irrespective if ellie go after Abby or not, this is the moral of the game, and if Abby kill Ellie in the end of the chapter (4 day in Seatlle, Abby) she will probably would by killed by the rattlesnakes cause ellie go after she showing up that if u save someone you will be saved, if you kill someone you will lose someone.
    the politicians things on the game make some people like or dislike from the point of view political of the individual geeting off the mutuality from the game cause some people doesn`t rate the game by the moral lesson and yes by their owns political views, the low rate from users just show how ignorant the world is.
    in the end of the game the player fell empty cause all the rage he have by Abby the empathy fill up, this is a feeling that i never feel in my life, the empty. the ending fight against abby when ellie is almost killing she and let she go show to us that ellie just want to prove herself that she can revenge joel but if she kill her would´n make any difference in his life but will just harm the life of Lev, a innocent child, just she proving herself that she can revenge Joel already help she win the post traumatic stress

    The negative points

    gameplay: cause the fact that the game is almost open world, exploring becomes sickening as the game goes on and u feel tired out, thing that i don`t feel playing TLOU 1 .
    resolution: is extremely beautiful the resolution of the game, the bad part is the play 4 make a lot of noise, in game i just saw only one drop of frames.
    history: the bad part is when Abby almost kill ellie and dina and go out and show the life of ellie and dina on the farm, the player lose the empashis to go kill Abby but the game force you to go after she. Looks like a continuation of a conclusion and every people know when u write a script u can`t write more after finish the conclusion this get more real showing that our lifes is not a script and bringing reality to the game but this is unpleasent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though I had mixed feelings from the story, I think this is a sequel worth giving a chance. It is not the same vibe as the first one, but I think that's what Naughty Dog wanted to do & they delivered. Obviously, killing off one of the main character is a major risk, but he's still in the game and you see a lot of him anyway. I wasn't disappointed and don't understand the hate. It's a video game, not real life, you shouldn't be butthurt about fiction. The only issue for me was the flashbacks. I think the game would've been even more solid if the order was different (like getting to play Abby 1st so we don't feel bummed out about playing her for like 12h straight after playing Ellie). But for the rest? This game is a masterpiece. 10/10 cause it's my favorite 2 games! (TLOU & TLOU part2) Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Juego imperdible si eres fan de la primera entrega. Si ya te spoileaste y te dejaste llevar por memes probablemente debas esperar un tiempo para jugarlo.

    Este juego para mi no fue como una segunda aventura, si no más bien fue ver las consecuencias de la primera entrega.
    El final es amargo pues como lo dije son el resultado de una mentira y una decisión que condenó a la humanidad. Por lo tanto para mí esta historia es la adecuada.
    Desde siempre pensé que en esta nueva entrega el guión iba a ser imposible superar al primero, pero está segunda parte no la hace nada mal. En mi opinión es un juego que por las decisiones que toma la protagonista si estás te gusten o no, es algo que tiene que ver mucho con como es cada jugador en su moral.
    El juego vuelve a hacer lo mismo que su antecesor: cuestionarnos si lo que hace nuestro protagonista es lo correcto. E intenta darnos una lección de vida sobre las dos caras de una moneda
    En mi caso el juego terminó mostrando a una Ellie que tomó la desición que yo quería que tomara. Pues a mitad de la campaña empecé a desear que no cumpliera su objetivo, obvio no sin una confrontación pues el juego te pone en la piel de la antagonista de este juego y en mi caso yo sí empaticé con ella y quería saber por qué hizo lo que hizo. No lo apruebo pero en esta historia no hay buenos ni malos, los personajes siempre han estado en una lucha por sus propios intereses.

    This game was deep and emotional. There were times where I, out loud, proclaimed that I didn't want to play, that what the game was going to have me do wasn't what I wanted. That I wanted to have my revenge, my way. But the story was so compelling that it pulled me forward, sometimes it tugged me forward in spite of my own resistance. This is what the game seeks to do. It seeks to be soThis game was deep and emotional. There were times where I, out loud, proclaimed that I didn't want to play, that what the game was going to have me do wasn't what I wanted. That I wanted to have my revenge, my way. But the story was so compelling that it pulled me forward, sometimes it tugged me forward in spite of my own resistance. This is what the game seeks to do. It seeks to be so compelling that you are driven to seek a resolution, even if you have to take an undesireable path to it. And, also as intended, the path is a challenging one. Not just in gameplay or for the character, but for the player. The challenge is in confronting anger, rage, and vengeance, however well warranted and to see the consequences and to feel the weight of irrevocable decisions, even when those decisions didn't have a viable alternative.

    This game is about violence. And it is about pain. And it is about the loss of identity in giving yourself over to rage. If you are a STAN for characters over story you will probably not like this game, however beautifuly and impressively designed its imagery, graphics, details. This game is gorgeous. And with so few hiccups to execution that the most significant impact to my playthrough was my own obsessive compulsive need to conserve ammunition and to execute my tqctical plans as expertly and perfectly as possible - leading to many reloads when I as a player executed less than perfectly.

    The game's sound design is atmospheric, and haunting and paranoia-inducing as much as the first Last of Us. The use of audio cues to indicate when your actions risked observation were downright anxiety provoking. The creature performances are absolutely frightening so much so that when stalkers become silent you the player become even more terrified and paranoid.

    The gameplay, while a bit on rails as expected, does give you big open playgrounds at times which helps to alleviate the feeling of being constrained alkng a linear path hurtling towards conclusion, there truly are moments where you can stop to just appreciate the incredibly detailed environments. In my playthrough I encountered no technical glitches or game-breaking hard stops at all. I never encountered a consumable or acquireable I could not pick up. I never got stuck in a wall or door. And the camera did a fantastic job of positioning itself intuitively. While there wasn't a clear satsifying button push to lock you into the use of cover, the game does a WONDERFUL truly genre-defining job of having the character models KNOW when they are in proximity to a hard surfsce. There were times I didn't feel as in cover as I would have liked, and there is no mechanism for leaningx so often "peeking " involves actually exposing yourself to some degree, the game is actually very forgiving in this and I never felt like my choices were punished by some of the less precise tactical movements.

    Gameplay choices are consistent with the original, included the still-baffling choice that at least one character has to manufacture shivs in order to have a stabbing weapon when, 20 years-on, a fightning knife should seem de rigeur for a post-apocalyptic infectious disease zombie outbreak. Improvements to melee weapons are often little more than aesthetic and their design for arguing that they have been improved continues to beg the question of "Really? How does duct tapping half a pruning shear to a lead pipe make it any more effective or sturdy?" - a mechanic I think could've been tossed, but again, not inconsistent for the series.

    Characters... so much to say about characters and almost all of it spoilers. The characters give weight to the consequences of decisions that are made throughout the game. This game makes an extraordinarily bold choice - one that I think many of the fans giving negative reviews fail to connect with the original story, even though the parallel is clear. The Last of Us does not have heroes. It isn't a game about heroes. Joel's actions at the end of The Last Of Us were heroic or villainous depending on your point of view, the same is true of Marlene. The post-apocalyptic nightmare world of cordyceps parasitism is a harsh world of survival and of violence and of killing. Often, as in the original, the most dangerous confrontations aren't with the creatures, they are with other survivors. The morality of confronting a kill-or-be-killed world where an act of vengeance can bring a living nightmare to life beyond the ever present fungal threat makes this game all too human. The most challenging thing about this game is that it asks us to confront ourselves. To allow ourselves to be taken to a point of raw emotional rage and pain and then to objectively see ourselves in the light of that for the monster in ourselves. By the end of the game I just wanted the violent cycle to end. I wanted there to be some future not bound by pain.

    Naughty Dog CRUSHES it. They take you on a journey. And its lesson is humanity.

When I first started playing as the other character I was a little pissed and was wondering if this was naughty dogs way of making me feel bad for them. After about an hour I was like **** it has worked” and I was starting to really like them. I grew emotionally attached to the side characters during the second half more than the first half. After beating this game and getting the platinum in it I haven’t been able to play other games due to not being able to find a game that had the gameplay and story like this one did. With all the hate about the LGQBT stuff. Yes it is in there but it does not shove it down your throat. It feels like it belongs and I felt it was done naturally and very well. Don’t listen to all the haters out there who have nothing better to do but try to trash a masterpiece due to their own ignorance.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to hate Abby, but she didn’t kill because she was a bad guy. It was out of revenge. Abby and Ellie were on the same journey, just at different times. The part of me that loved Joel and Ellie wanted her to die, but the other part of me that could see her motivations, and how she evolved from that moment, made her one of my favorite characters. That’s not an easy feat to pull off, and her voice actor deserves so much credit for making me empathize with the character. Ellie and Abby also had different skill trees, which was a great way to make the gameplay fresh and different at the switch. Masterpiece. Expand

    Love the story direction of hate it, this game is top notch. I know its getting a lot of 0 ratings but it doesn't deserve that just because people didn't agree with how they wrote the story. Sure my first play through i was a little taken back but as it settled a bit i have an appreciation for it now.

    Last of us part 2 deserve the best picture and the game of the year. This kind of game brings the media to another level. If you are looking of a super hero kind of story, just pass your way. The story is more complex and deep, and can make you think about the different perspective between what is good and evil, and what post-trauma can be. Thank you Naughty dog for making such a masterpiece

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think I was too harsh and closed at first about this game because of the spoilers I heard about one of my favorite characters dying. As well as me having to play as the character who killed him and the story not fully continuing where the first one left off. However, after actually playing it I enjoyed even though it was pulling me around making me mad at some times. Yet, the story was unique, different and I liked it and I was able to actually start to like Abby as time went on. I understand why other people are getting upset about having to get use to new characters. While saying that there are some faults such as some characters do not have good enough character development but that can be over looked. I also feel like the continuity from the first game is a little off but thats fine if you are able to successfully create a new storyline with a theme. Overall I hope they create a part 3 and pick up on Ellie or Abby. Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is a game that acts as a heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful continuation of the first game. Many story concessions are made in order to create a narrative that challenges the player to reach deep down to empathize with actions and events that happen to characters that they might not agree with, but comes from a place of understanding. This is also a game thatThe Last of Us Part II is a game that acts as a heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful continuation of the first game. Many story concessions are made in order to create a narrative that challenges the player to reach deep down to empathize with actions and events that happen to characters that they might not agree with, but comes from a place of understanding. This is also a game that shares more with a show like The Leftovers rather than Part 1’s movie-like structure, such as The Road. I settled early on that the game works best when playing up to a critical cutscene, and then putting the controller down for the day, much like how I normally watch tv shows. This gives each section room to breathe on its own, and doesn’t make the game feel as overly long as I probably would have felt it I binged the whole game the day it came out. This may seem like me giving a pass for the game dragging itself out in order to pad run time, but I assure everyone that the game lends itself much better to an episodic format that the first game did, which came off as a story that worked better by playing in as few sittings as possible since the games story and characterization was condensed within a normal three act structure in a movie. Characters are given a focus by the writers and trials to overcome that stacks like tetris blocks that rise high enough that when the straight block lands perfectly to clear the board it provides this insane sense of emotion and payoff for trusting the writers and sticking through the brutal drama that follows the events of the characters. The gameplay is greatly improved from the first game by trying to keep its formula of “arena fight, scavenge, explore and scavenge new areas, repeat” until you reach a cutscene to break it all up. Even though I can break down the formula for the gameplay, that doesn’t lend the right amount of credence the game deserves with how natural and well put together the arenas are, and the improvements to the A.I. which challenges you to continually move and plan on the go, as opposed to being able to easily take down enemies with silent kills on maps with flat terrain and easily identifiable cover points that the first game often had. If I had one criticism it would be that the exploration side of gameplay tends to drag on because it can only offer the same few tricks for players. Prone and jumping have been added, and while it may not be one of those features that sets the world on fire, it is used to its extent to try its hardest to diversify the discovery of items, but safes wear out their welcome by the middle of the game, and become a harsh necessity if you want any of the upgrades they house. This game really does a fantastic job of evolving on not only the gameplay of the first game, but the story as well. The game really does wear its heart on its sleeve, and if you can let your guard down and trust the game and its story, you really won’t find a more emotional tale that can keep you engaged for 25+ hours and give you an emotionally satisfying conclusion.

And what happens to those whoAs someone who values powerful stories and realistically deep and complicated characters in videogames, above gameplay mechanics, this game is a masterpiece. The mechanics are incredible too, giving you vast amounts of options on dealing with combat. But above all, the story that's being told has to do with overcoming trauma, betrayal, and attempting to heal. And what happens to those who become blinded by vengeance. It's a very realistic journey Ellie goes on, and anytime you deal with this subject matter, sad and frustrating encounters will happen, such as people you care about deeply dying. This is the violent feral world that has been established in the first game, and many people who are upset by these very realistic consequences, aka characters getting hurt or killed, are forgetting the world this game is set in. If you trust Neil Druckman and go along with the story that's being told, crying when s*** gets sad, raging when Ellie is rightly furious, falling in love when things get romantic and playful, it will only be a more powerful gaming experience. That's what is so good about The Last Of Us, how powerful it is, and this sequel knocks it out of the park. Plus it is the most gorgeous game I've ever seen. Please go in open-minded, and trust the storytelling, this game isn't about feeling good and having a rollicking good time, it's about the real human experience of living in the wasteland of the apocalypse told through Ellie's eyes, and they definitely 100% achieve that.

Yes, I am an ordinary user and have also been waiting for the game for 7 long years. My personal assessment is 10/10 and I recommend that everyone start the game from start to finish, not paying attention to such trifles as lesbian relationships, which by the way is not news. Yes, the game is tough, but it is filled with non-trivial decisions by scriptwriters. Yes, perhaps many were waiting for a different story, including me. But this story will amaze you in the very heart, will not leave you indifferent and make you think. The combination of violence, cruelty and wonderful emotionally touching moments is really brilliant. Ellie has matured and the game has matured with her, no wonder. Elegant graphics, atmosphere, elaboration of locations, directing, good old gameplay ... all this really adds up to one of the highest quality games of the generation. What are all the little things for the development of which we so loved the first part or Uncharted series. The plot - many call it a weak spot, but in fact it is very strong and multifaceted, it just needs to be understood and felt. And frankly, such a plot gave me a lot more emotions than if it were trivial and kind. Emotions are just what it's worth playing games for. Expand

    The gameplay, like the first game, is entertaining and the player can do basically whatever he wants. Do you want to shoot everybody? Do it. Do you want to stab them from the back and be quiet? Do it. Do you just want to escape from a group of enemies because you ran out of ammo? Do it. You can do what you want, the choice is yours.

    Story: 8/10
    This is very personal. Right after the end of the game I sat in my room and I stared at my monitor for nearly an hour because the game left me empty. The story is completely different form the first game; there's no real enemy here (we're just used to see the story from Joel and Ellie's eyes), just a bunch of people trying to get their own justice. The ending is like a punch in the face, it's so wrong and right at the same time. My final score is 8-8,5/10, a very good game unfairly criticized but also not a masterpiece.
