    Jogo espetacular, nunca havia visto algo com essa magnitude. O game fez eu sentir emoções que eu nunca havia sentido. Vai ser difícil ter que jogar outra coisa depois disso. É a melhor experiência que eu já tive.

    No idea what all the hate is about.
    It‘s a mature story, with real protagonists.
    Outstanding in any thinkable way!

    Вообще, никогда не был фанатом нутидогов да и от этой игры не зафанател, но мне очень жаль всех разработчиков тлоу2. Им наверняка больно видеть такой поток помоев в сторону своей игры, в которую вложено столько лет труда. Хотя, если они не дураки, то понимают, что эти нули-тройки были поставлены троллями, в игру не игравшими, или просто недалекими людьми, которые не могут быть хотя бы чуточку объективным.
    Вряд ли хоть кто-то прочитает это - не то что до конца, а хотя бы от начала, но все же: игру оценивают по совокупности её составляющих: сюжет, графика, музыка и звук, а так же геймплей (как ни странно!). Неужели все это сделано настолько плохо, что в итоге выходит ноль?

    O jogo é muito bom. Gostei bastante do gameplay que foi melhorado nessa sequência.
    A violência do jogo pode ser desconfortável para alguns, eu não tive problemas ao jogar.
    O único problema é pra que não jogou o the last of us "1" que vai se perder na história do jogo. Mas eu recomendo ótimos gráficos e jogabilidade muito boa.

    An absolutely beautiful game. A masterpiece. I can understand why some people may not like certain character decisions, or how dark the themes were, but they are crucial in the overall story and message of the game. This amounted to an experience which ultimately elevates this game far above anything that any other piece of media I have consumed has achieved.

    Let me give you a small text that ND put on a Lithograph in the Collector Edition and believe me, this is what a lot of player should read before saying this game suck.

    '' What would you do if someone you loved was the victim of a cruel an violent act? How easily could one's mind tip toward violent retribution? How far would you go to bring the people responsible to justice? if you were successful, how would it change you? would ever be the same?

    With The Last Of Us Part II, we set out to create an experience that explore these difficult questions, the darkest sides of human nature, and the vicious cycles of violence that we witness in the world around us on a daily basis. The result is a game crafted by hundreds of developers that pushed themselves to create something more than a mere entertainment -a game that we're incredibly proud of an that we hope will enthrall you and challenge your own views of justice and empathy.''

    Whoever read this, play this game and still say they ruined the franchise and such, definitely doesn't know how human/brain work.

    Naughty Dog ha sabido superarse con cada entrega, ya sea en Uncharted o en The Last Of US.

    Does this game try push a political agenda? No. This game tells a story about humans, and just because a character says or does something you don't agree with, that doesn't make it "unbelievable" or "political". Naughty Dog knows these characters better than any of us, and they are telling the story they want to. Just because we don't agree with something, it doesn't make the game bad.Does this game try push a political agenda?

Naughty Dog knows these characters better than any of us, and they are telling the story they want to. Just because we don't agree with something, it doesn't make the game bad. We're meant to disagree with choices they make, because believe it or not, these characters are flawed humans, just like the rest of us (yeah, I'm looking at you guys giving this game a 0 without even picking it up). I definitely didn't always agree with the direction the story took, or the decisions the characters made, but that's the beauty of it.. I'm not supposed to. It's not my story. It's Naughty Dogs, and man is it brutal, dark, and miserable. But again, that's the point. I'm just thankful they're not afraid to tell it the way they wanted it. As for the gameplay, I don't have much to say. Yeah it's more or less the same, but refined with an added layer. It worked the first time, and it's even better here. As for the environments, Naughty Dog has outdone themselves. The attention to detail is crazy. To think a designer spent weeks perfecting a room that I rushed through in 4 seconds blows my mind. The game does a good job making the environments open enough giving you multiple paths to an objective without the need for objective marker or a mini-map. I never felt lost, but at the same time I never knew exactly how I was supposed to get somewhere. Naughty Dog really found the perfect balance of making the game feel open without making it an open world game.

    I finished the game resonating with characters I originally hated, and hating characters I thought I loved, overall feeling like ****. It's a miserable story with the mechanics, environments, and acting to back it up. The game is a masterpiece. If you loved the first game and want to see how Naughty Dogs develops and punishes these characters for the choices they've made, play this now, before someone spoils it for you.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People just hate on it because Joel dies and you must play as Abby. Even though i didn't like to play as her, Joel's death is not bad written, it's a cruel world, he is actually a bad person and this game gave him not plot armor. He actually got what he deserved, even if you like it or not. Don't get me wrong, it did hurt me a lot to watch him die like that, but I don't hink it was bad writing. Even if you don't empathize with Abby, the goal is not to make you feel sorry for her, but to understand her reasons. What Naughty Dogs did was kinda like playing with fire, and they kinda burnt themselves, but at the end I think they made one of the most memorable games ever.… Expand

You will not be happy by the end of the game, I promise you, but that is the beauty of this. ND doesn't want to treat you like a child, so don't expect that. Go play animal crossing.

    I purchased the game on release day and somehow managed to play the game unspoiled and didnt hear about the leaks before. So I was really blind to the game - and that just might be the point. I ADORE every piece and part of this game. The characters are so detailed, vivid, emotional,... Naughty Dog just proved once more that there are geniusrd in character and animation design working there. The story is action, hatred, anger but also love and a little laughter and this already in the first 60minutes in game.

    Just as the first game totally changed my priciples (I'd never shoot an uninvolved doctor, not even in vid games, but **** it, i shot everyone at the fireflies in part I) this game managed to do this as well. First i HATED to play the second protagonist of the game but more and more, the character developed, i felt pity, i began to understand, i even cried for him/her until everything merged together in an emotional roller-coaster-like climax.

    Screw the haters, as most of them didn't even played themselves or IF they did, they were already spoiled and made their bad opinion up in their head already - nothing could change these prejudiced people, they never gave the game a chance.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich habs jetzt nach 32 Stunden auf normalen Schwierigkeitsgrad durch.

    Zum Ersten: Ich bin verdammt froh, dass ich vorrab keine Spoiler abbekommen habe und mir auch seit einiger Zeit nichtmal die offiziellen Videos angesehen habe.

    Zum Zweiten: Letztendlich muss ich das erstmal alles sacken lassen, aber in meinen Augen ist es das beste Spiel, das Naughty Dog bisher abgeliefert hat... aber "perfekt" ist es definitiv nicht!

    Ich verrate zwar keine Story-Details, aber pack meine Meinung dazu dennoch in Spoiler...

    SPOILER:
    Gerade diese genderpolitischen Themen, die schon wohl dank der Leaks vorrab so heftig kritisiert wurden, sind leider tatsächlich die größten Schwächen im Spiel. Es ist nur lächerlich, dass einige das komplette Spiel darauf herunter reduzieren wollen, was in meinen Augen vielleicht 15-20 Minuten "fragwürdige Szenen" in einem über 30 Stunden langen Spiel sind. Und ich finde es auch gar nicht falsch, dass Entwickler solche Elemente in ihre Spiele einbauen, nur sollten sie es vielleicht etwas "klüger" wie Naughty Dog angehen. Ein paar Szenen wirkten einfach aufgesetzt, nur um scheinbar unbedingt ein Statement zu liefern.
    SPOILER ENDE
    Daneben ist die Story jetzt zwar nichts weltbewegendes, aber durchaus solide und ja, es gibt einige kontroverse Entscheidungen, die Naughty Dog hier trifft, die sicherlich nicht bei jedem gut ankommen...
    Sonst eigentlich schon, wie beim ersten Teil. Der Zünder für die Story ist ein sehr einfaches Element, das Ziel ist klar definiert, aber letztendlich sind die großen Hürden auf dem Weg das Spannende. Und gerade die Inszenierung macht das Durchspielen zum Erlebnis!

    An Gameplay und Grafik hab ich nichts auszusetzen.

    Die Präsentation ist für mich ungeschlagen... mich verblüfft es, dass hier einige der Meinung sind, dass es optisch eher in Richtung Enttäuschung geht. Ich hab das Spiel auf meiner PS4 Pro/HDR-OLED Kombination im stockdunklen Zimmer durchgespielt und ich bin schlichtweg überwältigt. Das Spiel macht eine überragende Figur in überwucherten Häuserschluchten, bis hin zu den stockdunklen "unteren Etagen". Ich bin aber auch Fan vom Filmlook, inkl. Filmkörnung, Motion Blur, Depth of Field etc. ... Und speziell in Sachen Charakterdarstellung und Animationen spielt Naughty Dog auf einem ganz anderen Niveau als alle anderen.

    Das Gameplay ist ebenfalls eine tolle Weiterentwicklung aus dem ersten Teil. Es bleibt dem gewohnten Gameplay sehr treu, aber es wirkt dank der neuen Möglichkeiten viel dynamischer.
    Die einzige Sache, die wie schon im ersten Teil stört... Der Begleiter ist für die Gegner praktisch unsichtbar. Ich hatte nur eine Szene im Spiel, wo tatsächlich mein Begleiter entdeckt wurde, und nicht ich. Aber da stand der Gegner etwa einen Meter direkt vor der Begleitung und selbst das war dann noch recht zögernd. Ich versteh, dass es frustrierend wäre, wenn die Begleitung dauernd Alarm auslösen würde... aber es sieht halt einfach dumm aus!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 24 hours I finally completed the game and I must say it's just as good if not better than the first game. My only complaints is that maybe you play as Abby for a little too long and gameplay got monotonous, specially on day 2. I understand that some people dislike the choices the writers made but I think they pulled it off in a way I didn't expect, I even played the game having read a lot of spoilers but that didn't take anything away from me because I believe you really have to experience this game and play it for yourself till the end to understand the choices the characters made.

    I see some people say that they don't like the game because they don't like abby, but in my opinion the game doesn't really try to make you like her, they make you see that her motives are just as valid as Ellie's for doing what she did and puts thing in a different perspective, and to be honest Abby has some of the most intense and fun parts of the game.

    My only issues with the story are Abby's motivations to save Lev and his sister and MAYBE some issues with it's structure, it may have been better to mix up playing as Abby and Ellie a little more but, I get why they didn't do that but still. When seeing Abby's side of the story I really liked all the new characters they introduced and they all felt so fleshed out, specially Owen, I even felt terrible because I already knew what Ellie did to them (this is why I think the game is structured how it is).

    Not to mention gameplay was fun and devastating as **** it's the best looking game ever, the soundtrack is so beautiful and push the important moments of the story and the environments have so much detail and love put into them.

    My expectations with this game were as high as they come and it met them. I do feel really sad for how divided the fan base will be now and I really wished everyone enjoyed this game as much as I did, but come on people, it's not even close to a 0.    … Expand

    This game is absolutely fantastic. Anybody who is reviewing the game as 0 / 10 is a complete dumbass. The story is extremely deep and thought-provoking. After all these years, it was absolutely worth the wait.

After all these years, it was absolutely worth the wait.

    This game is the perfect sequel to the first game, and tackles the themes of loss and sorrow with great passion. The gameplay mechanics are crazy as well. You can be fighting people and you'll hear them screaming when you shoot off their fingers, you can hear people call for their teammates by name (crazy!), and it seems as if every part of the environment is intractable. Every surface you slam somebody against, it's as if that was specifically scripted to happen right there, in that exact place, with that exact method of hitting them (even though it wasn't! love the fighting mechanics they're great.)

    This game absolutely deserves the title of best of a generation. How the hell is everyone rating this game 0 / 10?? I mean seriously? You think this game is absolute trash; not even one star worthy? You're an idiot if you believe that. Just because you're saddened by plot elements doesn't make the game bad. That's the entire **** point. You're supposed to feel bad; feel loss. The world isn't a perfect place and the game really tries to get that point across. That doesn't mean the game is bad or that you should review it badly. It means you should perhaps (and I know this is going to ostracize me) play the game? Maybe finish it before you rate it terribly like an idiot?

    This game has been in development for almost 6/7 years and it shows. They've put tons of time into creating a game that is a masterpiece. Considering this game hasn't even been out for more than a few days, I seriously doubt 90% of the people reviewing here have even finished the game yet.

    I firmly believe that if you review bomb this game like a moron, either one out of two things are true:
    1. You don't even own the game / a playstation
    2. You haven't completed the game / played it at all

    I went out of my way to avoid leaks before launch, and did my best to ignore ridiculous **** like this. Naughty Dog, if you read this, you released an amazing game. The actual critics are correct here. This game is absolutely deserving of 9.5 / 10 like they say, 10 / 10 in my book. I literally don't know what could have made this game better. It's a masterpiece.

    Don't listen to these people; there is a reason we have actual critics. The game was fantastic, totally worth the wait (love the length of the game). Please continue to curate beautifully written games like this one.

    Those of you review bombing, please do two things:

    1. Play the game ENTIRELY. This means beginning to end. Don't stop playing halfway through and go review. Actually finish the damn game
    2. Come back here and re-evaluate the score you gave the game.

    Sorry if this post was a little brash. But it's ridiculous; this game is so amazing and it pisses me off that people might not play it based off reviews passed out by idiots who don't play a game before they review it.

    TL;DR - Play the game before giving it 0 stars based off what others have said. You dumbass. *for whoever needs to hear it*    … Expand

    ---

    I can only assume people who have review bombed and left incredibly low rated reviews are A) XBox fanboys, B) Fans of other titles that they consider to be the greatest game of all time and do not want TLOU getting that kind of recognition again, C) a combination of both. Note, I'm saying the 'incredibly low ratings' - people can dislike and like different things and that is fine, but the 0's - 4's truly have some weird ulterior motive - if you are looking at reviews to help you decidee, then you can rightfully ignore them. I will say this as well about metacritic - how many of these reviews are verified? 4.5 stars currently on the PS store - those will be ratings from verified purchases.

    As for what may be genuine negative reviews... I've seen a few complaints about *spoiler* not enough Joel and Ellie time and the ending because it wasn't a happy fairytale story - I can't help but audibly lol the world the game is set in and even the real world is not some happy fairytale.

    As well as complaints about playing as Abby - I must admit, early on, I was really not happy about this, but after completing the game, I think this was brilliant from ND. The world is not black and white, Good and evil, there's different shades of grey. Joel was a bad person after Sarah - that much was made clear by Tommy in the 1st game, Tommy talks about having nightmares from their time together. There was a vaccine that would help heal the world. Joel, although most of us would do the same, if given an in game option to do so may I add, stopped that and saved Ellie! Whilst we love Ellie, it's the selfish and wrong thing to do. He killed innocent people. What we do in the game as Ellie is seek revenge, which is exactly what Abby and her crew did... but instead she let Tommy and Ellie live - Joel kills the surgeon, Abby's Dad and Marlene. The game does a brilliant job of not making that crew come across as just some generic evil bad guys, rather we see them as a part of a community much like Jackson... something else that I thought was good was the crew didn't even know Ellie was after them - they thought she was a Scar/seraphite as that's who they were in conflict with. Abby has some redemption with Yara and Lev and her and Lev's relationship felt some what similar to Joel and Ellie, thrown together through bad circumstances. Before Santa Monica I found myself wanting Ellie to stay at the Farmhouse, although I was happy to get more gameplay, because I knew she may end up alone, which is what she feared most. I think I know Joel would not want her to get revenge, but instead to live happily and peacefully with Dina and JJ.. Ellie however is suffering from PTSD. She cannot stop thinking about Joel.

    One thing I may have changed was perhaps maybe play as Abby more before seeing Joel killed, but at the same time, although the most obvious reason why, it was good to find out along the way.

    I've sadly also heard people are upset that Ellie is gay and Lev is a trans - to those people, grow up.    … Expand

    The graphics and engine of the game are superb, it improves in every way on ND's older games. While the story might be different than what people expected (and I'm am Ellie fan the whole way, so I didn't take to Abby very well) it was still a compelling story. The game has it's flaws, but they are so few in comparison to how amazing this game is.

    TLOU2 is a Hollywood slick, big budget and beautiful version of the work of Yoko Taro. It reminds me of Shadow Of The Colossus, Nier Automata and Spec Ops: The Line with a budget. Thus it may well be my favourite game of all time. An utterly astounding work that forces the player to confront their own assumptions and explores the dangers of othering individuals and groups.

    The way the game progresses and varies it's encounters brings to mind Resident Evil 4. Using it's core stealth and combat mechanics that are then twisted by enemy combinations, environmental factors, arena design and more. These core mechanics are absolutely rock solid and then used as a foundation for game design that keeps them constantly feeling fresh.

    The graphics are phenomenal as is the score and voice acting. The writing feels like it's actually been written as opposed to simply plotted or scripted, perhaps even dramaturged. However rather than simply emulate film or television it tells a story in a way that could only be done in an interactive medium, a radical and bold structure that encourages you to wallow in the grin satisfaction of necessary violence done well and then asks you to reconsider and recontextulaise what you have done.

    It's a masterpiece and the first game in years (in fact probably since Resident Evil 4!) that I binged and finished in a matter of days. Highly, highly recommended.    … Expand

There’s not an happy ending, it’s a story to reflect, it is supposed to make you feel something. It’s like that movie when you don’t like the end because it’s too human and it’s not happy. I felt so many emotions, me as part of the LGBTQ+ community felt embraced and represented, I wanted to stop playing when they were having that idyllic life because it was too wholesome. I felt angry when I was forced to continue pursuing Abby. But life is like this in so many ways. Right now I feeling angry because I am forced to stay at home without a job. Also really well done to talk about homophobia and put more representation in it, I think it’s the first time that I see an openly gay main character, strong and not letting pass any kind of disrespect for her being a lesbian.
    Characters were well developed, many times it felt like I was with real people playing and every time I’d go in a journey alone I actually felt alone.

    This game is a pill hard to swallow, not in a bad way, it’s just because I’d write the story differently giving a happy life in the end. I think that’s why people didn’t like, because we want to find some hope in the end and this one gave us nothing but imagination of what will happen next, and Ellie ended up alone, that really got me since her fear was to end up alone, that was so sad. So if you guys are planning a sequel either to finish the series of them trying to find a cure, and giving a happy life to Ellie so her existence has some meaning in the last of us world, bc right now all I can feel about her is sorry and she being my favourite character is like heartbreaking.

    I have to admit I didn’t wanted to play with Abby, I was reluctant and killed her many times lol but I started to like her in the end, not a big like but it just shows again how human this video game is, showing that everything has 2 sides and we can easily apply this to real life.

    This game has loads to think and process so people that are not open to accept what it brings and are projecting their own frustrations towards it will not really get it.
    Also congratulations to take the risk and put minorities in it. I saw a bunch of people get really mad about it and show their homophobic beliefs.

    I disagree with loads of stuff in this game but it doesn’t change the fact that is amazing. Will play again and please, it not a part 3, at least give us a DLC!    … Expand

The poor reviews are most likely by people that haven’t even finished the game, trolls or just some people commenting on it based on the leaks without truly understanding the game. Or just people butt-hurt over the fact that some characters in the game are not exactly like them. The story is rough, gruesome, conflicting and often heart-breaking. The Last of Us is not a happy game, and anyone expecting any different should probably find something else to play. This will truly lead you through a roller coaster of emotions.
    It's the most beautiful game I've ever seen, with stunning character design and gorgeous environment. The hair, the eyes, the voice-acting, the performance, the lightning - unlike any other game. In cutscenes, you can really feel the emotions coming from the characters, see it on their faces, hear it in their voice. The infected or the fungus on the walls will leave you disgusted, terrified. The gory mess after blowing up an enemy with a bomb will make you sort of pity them.
    The gameplay - the same mechanics as in the first game, but BETTER. You get new equipment, new skills, new weapons. The areas are always huge, sometimes I didn't even know where to go first. This, combined with the ability to crawl under things or squeeze through tight spaces will give you so many opportunities to hide, to kill enemies or to just run away. Sometimes you don't even find enemies if you don't explore certain areas. New people, new infected. Each encounter will keep you on the edge of your seat, not really knowing what to expect. The physics are very realistic.
    The story - this is a story of vengeance, how far a person will go to get it and how it can change them. It will make you see that not everything is black and white. Perhaps there is no good and bad. Perhaps not every hero is a hero and not every villain is a villain. They're just people doing what they think is right. It is hard not to say too much and spoil things. I will say that the story made me sad, happy, angry, heart-broken, scared, pissed, conflicted. It made me smile and it made me tear up. And that, I think, is a good thing, because it made me FEEL something. It made me think about what I would do in those situations. As I said, a roller coaster of emotions.
    All in all, in my opinion this game is a truly worthy sequel to the first game. Even more frightening and traumatizing. The people that give it a 0 truly don't deserve to give reviews. Naughty Dog took a bold step with this game, and it paid off. Please don't listen to other people's words - try the game for yourself with an open mind and make your own opinion. You may be pleasantly surprised.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the game twice, even at the major difficulty of SURVIVOR+, exploring every inch and finally awarding my platinum.

    Graphics: 10
    The graphics is stunning, facial animations are astonishing and can really make u feel what is going through the characters mind. Stable framerate, high quality.

    Audio and soundtrack: 9.8
    Gustavo made another piece of art with this game. The soundtrack fits perfectly within the context of the game, is never invasive and really enhances your emotions when needed.
    Also gameplay audio is really good. Environment sounds can really help you to locate enemies, see who they are and what they intend to do, essential to the gameplay.
    Sometimes though, enemy location does not fit perfectly the position of the enemies, causing you to panic if you think they are too close. It's not a big problem.

    Environment and level design: 10
    The work and craftsmanship of the developers to reconstruct a Seattle won by nature is jawdropping. Everything is exactly where it should be. It's all so green, rainy. Destruction is perfectly represented and the victory of nature over mankind is portrayed in every aspect.
    Big shout-out to the level design. Every encounter can be approached in many different ways due to the level design and our gameplay choices. Stealth is favored due to many underground or underwater passages, trucks under which you can hide and most of all it's import that you can sometimes use verticality (something which was completely absent from the first game). Many levels will completely develop vertically.

    Acting: 10
    I played the game in the original language. Nothing to say on this, Ashley, Troy and Laura's work was absolutely terrific. Every emotion of the characters, also thanks to the facial animations get to the hearts of the player.

    Gameplay and AI: 9.5
    Part I had a great gameplay, but part II makes that gameplay even better in every possible department. The shooting feels a lot better and the RPG components of the game (Supplements and weapon upgrades) really impact the gameplay. Level design makes everything a lot more fun, more weapons and objects to use, etc...
    Only downside, although AI has been a lot improved since Part I (both enemies and allies), sometimes your companions do stupid things like pushing you out of cover or walking in front of the enemies (they can't be seen but feels kinda weird playing). Enemies are well organised but in rare cases they can clip and you can just kill them 1 by 1 like a bunch of idiots. Also this is a very minor downside in all the beautiful things that this gameplay offers.

    Longevity and variety: 9.5
    My adventure lasted 30 hours. What can you ask more from a so beautiful game?!
    The adventure is not only long, but puts in front of many different challenges, which must be approached in many different ways (human bossfights, infected bossfights, infected hordes, scars, wlf soldiers, both wlf and scar soldiers, infected and humans, only shamblers, only stalkers, etc....). All this variety makes sure that the gameplay never makes you bored.

    Story and narrative: 9
    The story really is amazing and the level of storytelling is off the charts. The deep diving into the psychology of the characters will be a major milestone in gaming for years. Everything in this game is so emotional. Not a single game ever grazed the level of emotions that are summoned by this game (sadness, hate, desperation, joy, pure emptiness, etc...). The adoption of two storylines crossing each other is extremely beautiful, to see both perspectives and explore both character's minds. The symbolism of the game is also something that can be compared to poetry for how beautiful it is when you can grasp it and understand it.
    Every character feels so alive and seeing how they evolve or devolve is another milestone of the game.
    Now we get to the cons of the story:
    1) The story hits you extremely hard which is not a bad thing, the downside is that some events are presented in a questionable order. Playing as Abby was a great experience. She and Lev are a great team and they both are great characters, but the game wants you in the first part to hate Abby too much, risking to fail in the second half to make you feel empathy for her or at least understand her actions and her character. The game relies too much on the sensibility of the players in this context, that's why the game is "not for everyone"
    2) Too much symbolism. Symbolism is beautiful and poetic, but sometimes is so concealed that people might think that what happened is just a plot hole. This is another reason why the game is "not for everyone".
    3) Story pacing. Flashbacks are well put in the story, but sometimes they break the player's hype too much, especially at the fight in the theater when the control switches to Abby and to get there again you need to play 10 hours. Overall the Abby gameplay is a little to long.

    Anyway, the game is a masterpiece and everyone should try it.    … Expand

    Un buen juego si bien su historia no está al nivel del primer juego tampoco es que la historia sea mala , el juego es bastante bueno en lo jugable en la exploración de recursos y historia hace que este juego sea muy entretenido para jugar, por mi parte lo recomiendo.

    Never before have I seen such an authentic commentary on hate. This have will make you be implicit in the self destruction of a character you love and the redemption of a character you hate.

    The game is good the story is not for everybody.

    How do you top one of the best games of all time? By making it bigger, badder and more focused. The Last of Us Part 2 is unsettling at times, but that gives its story and theme more impact. This is a grown-up experience through and through and a fine example of gaming as art.

    Enfim terminei de jogar The Last Of Us Parte II, senti todas as emoções que um jogo de videogame pode proporcionar. Estou impactado. E quem não gostou é pq é um preconceituoso, mente fechada e sem coração. Só isso.
    Ellie te amo ❤️ melhor personagem ever.

    "Nie wiem czy kiedykolwiek Ci wybaczę... Ale zamierzam spróbować."
    Nic tak dobrze nie streszcza fabuły nowego The Last of Us, jak to jedno zdanie z epilogu. I zupełnie nie gra tu roli, kto do kogo je wypowiedział - zabrzmiałoby równie dobrze w ustach wszystkich głównych postaci.
    Obejrzawszy napisy końcowe z jednej strony dziwi mnie niezmiernie reakcja "fanów z metacritic", a z drugiej,    "Nie wiem czy kiedykolwiek Ci wybaczę... Ale zamierzam spróbować."
    Nic tak dobrze nie streszcza fabuły nowego The Last of Us, jak to jedno zdanie z epilogu. I zupełnie nie gra tu roli, kto do kogo je wypowiedział - zabrzmiałoby równie dobrze w ustach wszystkich głównych postaci.
    Obejrzawszy napisy końcowe z jednej strony dziwi mnie niezmiernie reakcja "fanów z metacritic", a z drugiej, niestety nie dziwi wcale. Pozornie (i początkowo) może się wydawać, że Naughty Dog uderza tu w zupełnie inne tony niż w jedynce, że niczym młoda Ellie szarpie struny gitary bez wyczucia i wprawy, wrzucając w melodię zasłyszane ostatnio dźwięki. Tak jednak nie jest, zdecydowanie, a twierdzić mogą tak jedynie Ci, którzy zapomnieli już, jak gorzkie było w istocie zakończenie części pierwszej.
    O czym zatem jest Part II?
    O stracie i radzeniu sobie z nią, o niesprawiedliwości, przemocy, i uprzedzeniach, o ślepocie nienawiści i bezcelowości zemsty oraz o spokoju jaki daje wybaczenie. W wielu miejscach jest to opowieść gorzka, nieprzyjemna i trudna w odbiorze, można wręcz powiedzieć, że mało "growa". Niemniej nie jest to opowieść słaba, nie jest to najgorsza fabuła w historii gier, postacie nie są źle napisane, a zakończenie nie jest "żenujące", jak zdają się wykrzykiwać internetowi "hejterzy".
    Już moment pojawienia się tych podejrzanie niskich ocen, dosłownie kilka-kilkanaście godzin po premierze, dawał do myślenia, lecz teraz - po ukończeniu fabuły jestem jeszcze bardziej pewny tego, że 90% z nich to wylana na klawiaturę żółć ludzi, którzy nie lubią gdy ktoś ma inne poglądy niż oni sami, prezentując to co ich zdaniem gorsze, jako równe. Bo Last of Us II jest bardzo równościowe, jest w pewien sposób niespotykanym dotąd w grach przypadkiem, niemal manifestem, ale nie takim wykrzyczanym w twarz na paradzie (bez różnicy czy z uśmiechem, czy z pałką), znacznie bardziej prostym, codziennym i subtelnym.
    Dla scenarzystów The Last of Us II wszyscy są równi - wobec śmierci, miłości, czy nienawiści, nie ma znaczenia płeć, kolor skóry, to jak ważna dla fabuły jest postać - liczy się historia i jej przesłanie. Historia napisana w sposób przemyślany i chirurgiczny, tak by to co widzimy bolało, tak byśmy kwestionowali wybory postaci, czasami się z nimi nie zgadzając, tak, by trudno było ocenić postacie, ich motywację, czy działania po kilku godzinach gry - wszystko po to, by przesłanie wybrzmiało mocniej. I za tę odwagę należą się twórcom wielkie brawa.
    Być może problematyczna dla części fanów jest również sama konstrukcja fabuły? Wszak i przy okazji serialowego Wiedźmina skoki czasowe były dość powszechnie (niesłusznie moim zdaniem) krytykowane. Niemniej każdy utwór warto oceniać z perspektywy całości, dostrzegając, że pewne zabiegi stylistyczne są celowym działaniem twórcy, który poprzez kolejność prezentowania treści chce odpowiednio sterować naszymi emocjami, uzyskując - szczególnie w medium tak interaktywnym jak gry wideo - efekt znacznie lepszy, niż w przypadku pełnej liniowości historii.
    To, że pozwala się nam patrzeć na pewne wydarzenia innymi oczami, że motywacja działań postaci wyjaśniana jest często "post-factum" - to nie przypadkowe błędy scenariusza, a świadome zabiegi mające istotne znaczenie dla puenty tej opowieści.
    The Last of Us Part II nie jest historią którą pokochasz, jest historią którą znienawidzisz ale jednocześnie zrozumiesz i docenisz, coraz bardziej, z każdym dniem po obejrzeniu napisów końcowych i opadnięciu emocji.    … Expand

    The last of us part 2 is an impressive game at a graphic level and the game play is acceptable, but what stands out the most is its new story, which is a risky story and even ahead of this time, but removing all that, it is a very solid story and well managed, from the well developed characters, the script and how it is narrated, it is a story that you will not forget about it.

    The video game is unique and tells that in a cruel and destroyed world people fight to live and that in this world there are no good or bad all do the best they can to survive, in this world it is very difficult for there to be worthy deaths but there are still hope...

    In conclusion, it is a spectacular video game with beautiful graphics, a well-made soundtrack and a memorable story.

    The first game to ever make me feel sadness in the last boss fight.

The story of the relationship between these two people, so marked by personal tragedies (his, the death of his daughter on the night of the outbreak that started the collapse of civilization; hers, a tragic loss followed by the discovery of being the only known human immune to cordyceps), it was the work that elevated Naughty Dog to the pantheon of great game character developers, and the reason why the sequel is so awaited.

    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]
