    There was a big hype before the game release and I heard many critics about this game, but to be honest, it was the best game I've ever played. Extended fight model, more cinematics with genius animation and realistic models, smooth transitions between cinematic part and gameplay. Heart-touching story, multiperspective and many threads fading each other.

    This game made me feel more than any other piece of entertainment I've ever come across. It used to be popular to hate on it but I'm glad more people are coming around. It tells a beautiful story.

    Technically great, but narratively exhausting tale of revenge that doesn´t quite match the narrative elegance of its prequel.

    A masterpiece of gaming. Takes everything from the first and makes it better. Review bombed because butt hurt children and bigots don’t like the story. Don’t let them put you off trying it for yourself. It’s a truly brilliant game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. PTBR:
    Gameplay: Simples mas bem polido, nada de inovador mas isso não é problema. O que eu gosto no gameplay do Last Of Us é a busca de recursos e pensar no melhor tipo de abordagem para matar um inimigo. Jogo muito jogos de tiro em 3 pessoa e nenhum me faz parar e pensar com que arma devo finalizar um inimigo, isso é uma das mecânicas essenciais de last of us e para mim é a melhor parte do gameplay.

    Historia: Last Of Us é aquele jogo que vc termina e passa meses pensando nele, para mim uma das histórias mais envolventes que joguei na minha vida, eu adorei, merece muito todos os prémios que recebeu . Entretanto não gostei de duas situações que aconteceram no jogo, a primeira a morte de Joel, até pensei que isso iria ocorrer durante o jogo, mas não tão cedo como foi. A segunda ter que jogar com Abby durante a metade do jogo, entendo que queriam mostrar o lado dela, mas eu prefiriria jogar com Joel ou Ellie.

    ENG:
    Gameplay: Simple but well polished, nothing innovative but that is not a problem. What I like about Last Of Us gameplay is the search for resources and thinking about the best type of approach to kill an enemy. I play a lot of 3-person shooting games and none of them makes me stop and think with which weapon I should finish an enemy, this is one of the essential mechanics of last of us and for me it is the best part of the gameplay.

    Story: Last Of Us is that game that you finish and spend months thinking about it, for me one of the most engaging stories I've played in my life, I loved it, it deserves all the prizes it received. However, I didn't like two situations that happened in the game, the first being Joel's death, I even thought that this would happen during the game, but not as early as it was. The second having to play with Abby during the middle of the game, I understand that they wanted to show her side, but I would prefer to play with Joel or Ellie.    … Expand

    This game gives me a horror like i'm 12 playing Resident Evil Nemesis on PS1 again. Like, i am playing this alone at night and literally, i need to take a breath and remind myself that that's not the real world before going to the bathroom.
    Kind of negative things i can say about the game:
    1. you are always out of ammo and if you gather 12 Shots you can not carry any more. Therefore you    This game gives me a horror like i'm 12 playing Resident Evil Nemesis on PS1 again. Like, i am playing this alone at night and literally, i need to take a breath and remind myself that that's not the real world before going to the bathroom.
    Kind of negative things i can say about the game:
    1. you are always out of ammo and if you gather 12 Shots you can not carry any more. Therefore you don't shoot very often at the beginning of the game and it takes a quite long time to learn to aim.
    2. every time your character is entering a dark building or so, the first thing it does is screaming something like "HEEEELLOOOO IS SOMEBODY HERE???" or is shouting and talking with some friend which is waiting outside. Every time that happened i was like "what?? shut tf up! what if there are enemies in here?"
    but i guess those points make the game even more intense, because every gunshot is valuable and the horror intensifies when the character is shouting like an idiot.

    I did not play the first part and i do not understand why all the people are butthurt about this game, but i read the negative reviews and most of them say "the story is the worst story ever in a videogame", "the characters are so bad" and "that is such bad writing". Are you serious? Objectively, thats just not true. The story is great and therefore it must be some bs agenda against the game because the main character is gay or it's different from the first part... I don't know.

    You can dislike some things in the game, but you cannot have played this game and give it 0 Score. That's so disrespectful towards everyone who put all their heart in this game, and you can clearly see that everyone involved did. User core is 5.7 - are you kidding me?
    I just created a metacritic account to counteract to this nonsense. And every positive review has this rate of "100 of 900 people thought this is helpful" hahahaha you little butthurt kiddos. bye    … Expand

    "99% of the negative user reviews posted here are from Jul 19-21, 2020." That's because they didn't even play the game! The game launched on Jul 19 and takes about 25-30 hours to complete.

One can understand that these are dark times and a pandemic runs amok, but that beckons you to keep yourself together even more. Don't let that negativity spread! Ever heard the phrase that you should not "judge a book by its cover"?
    This is my first ever review on Metacritic. I felt the need to write this because I feel a wrong has to be righted here (User Score). A wrong which many other users have done in rating this game poorly, due to various reasons. Some did it because of a hate for other sexualities, some due to the violence portrayed, some because they could not digest things which the game showed ("How could the villain be good, or the hero be bad, and so on"). Some people came and put ratings even without playing the game!
    I felt the need to come here and explicitly give a perfect rating not only because I liked the game and wanted to push the rating up, but because this game is as close to a perfect portrayal of human emotions and human beings as anything can get. It's a masterpiece. It's a game which people would feel fortunate to play in their lifetime, if taken in the right spirit. Never seen a game present a story in such a beautiful way. Has an unbelievable variety of atmospheric effects, next-gen graphics, brilliant gameplay, great music, and the absolute best in plot presentation. It's a game which is not only played, but experienced as well. And experience you will; you can't miss that. This is the epitome of achievement in game development. Naughty Dog, take a bow!

If you are the hero in your own story, then you are inevitably the villain in someone else's story and this game makes you experience the consequences and repercussions of your previously "heroic" actions. that is why the story telling is so masterful here. There is nothing in this game that makes it deserve the negative reaction that it got, just don't expect to feel good about the things your character does because you shouldn't feel good if you're driven by revenge.… Expand

    Not quite as great as the first, but I was overall very pleased with the final product. The visuals and gameplay is a huge improvement of the first and many other ps4 games, the story was emotionally draining, and the motion capture is beyond amazing. I still believe the pacing and structure could’ve been improved, but it doesn’t take away from the fact the I love this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us part 2 is a tale filled with tragedy and even more death but this does not take away from the beauty that can be found within. The first last of us game is widely considered as a classic video game with very few faults, the story is both tragic and heart warming and the connection between Joel and Ellie is almost second to none. The second installment of the franchise however is a drastic change in tone. Almost instantly the player is hit with an emotional moment that is one of the main dividing features of this game and often causes the most controversy. The story also can be very disjoined at times with numerous flash backs and sometimes flash backs in flash backs. The gameplay is a massive improvement over the first game, making all melee weapons feel weighty and all the guns feel like they need extra precision. The graphics also are absolutely stunning, the sheer amount of detail within the vast landscapes are simply breath taking. All in all the story is a beautiful mess with disjointed segments and sometimes un necessary plot beats. The gameplay is masterful and fun and of course the graphics are drop dead gorgeous. If you are a fan of the first game I highly advise you to play this but with managed expectations.… Expand

    Jugablemente creo que es de los juegos mas precisos y pulidos que se han visto en mucho tiempo, el guion y la narrativa creo que se caracteriza por dos cosas:
    Primero la dureza y la crudeza con que el juego trata a todo y a todos, siendo esto algo poco visto con tanta dureza en el mundo de los videojuegos.
    Y segundo la capacidad que tiene el juego para enfadarte y hacerte dudar de tu moralidad como ser humano. Y si por eso creo que el juego es grandioso ya que, que un juego te genere ese sentimiento y esa sensacion tan dura es el vivo ejemplo de que el juego esta escrito y dirigido de una manera increible.
    Por ultimo a nivel tecnico es simplemente el techo grafico de una generacion. Ningun juego creo que consigue estos niveles ni por asomo, y os hablo desde el punto de vista de una ps4 normal. No me quiero imaginar como se disfrutaria este juego en un pc con una 3090 en la actualidad.

    Сюжет второй части, как многие могли подумать, целиком и полностью посвящен теме мести, но нет. Сама суть сюжета заключается в том, к каким страшным и невообразимым последствиям эта месть может привести.
    В начале игры нам показывают сообщество, которое изолировало себя от ужасов окружающего мира, укрылось за стенами города в лесах Вайоминга. Обычная жизнь, счастливые и радостные моменты, и одно событие, которое запускает неконтролируемый механизм мести, с которым придется иметь дело главному герою. Сюжет наполнен душераздирающими моментами, неожиданными поворотами, которые заставляют тебя задуматься. И вот, когда история заканчивается, ты остаешься с чувством пустоты внутри, размышляя и вспоминая весь пройденный путь, усваивая опыт полюбившихся персонажей.
    Говоря о технических аспектах разработчики не упустили ни единой детали, все проработано до малейшего сантиметра, взять только глубину отображаемых эмоций, которая просто поразительна. Все характерные элементы первой части игры возвращаются еще в более расширенной форме: скрытность, исследование, крафт. Подчеркивается ловкость персонажа, замысловатый дизайн уровней, открытые локации, на которые ты можешь потратить уйму времени, исследуя их. Так же имеется возможность выбрать для себя наиболее оптимальный подход: прятаться и обходить врагов, ползать в траве, делая себя незаметным или же выбрать более агрессивную стратегию выживания.
    Исследуя уголки различных локаций, вы найдете множество ресурсов для успешного выживания в жестоком мире, прочитаете записки, которое столь же трагичны как история главного героя, а в скрытых труднодоступных комнатах вас будет ждать сюрприз в виде сейфа или тайника с припасами. Собранные по пути руководства по выживанию позволят прокачать навыки персонажа, которые в дальнейшем помогут спасти вам жизнь.
    Мир, который скрывает множество ловушек: разнообразие группировок вплоть до религиозных фанатиков, которые появляются на пути у главного героя, заставляя задуматься о стратегии выживания. Независимо от того, с кем вы столкнетесь, ощущение, что вы никогда не будете в безопасности, всегда остается с вами.
    Невероятное музыкальное сопровождение делают одну из самых трагичных историй еще более захватывающей. Актерский состав с мастерским захватом движения с намерением передать эмоции актеров и выражение лица получился впечатляюще реалистичным.
    Нет сомнений в том, что об этой игре будут говорить еще долгие годы. Достойная история, незабываемые приключения, океан эмоций.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People either love or hate this game and I can kind of understand why. I loved this game for so many reasons. I love that this game is dark and harsh. People expect games to always be happy and end well. This game changes that cliche with the early and very brutal death of Joel. They throw you into the rest of the game really feeling and understanding Ellie's pain. They make you hate Abby and everything she's associated with. Right up until they flip the narrative completely. I have never played a game that challenged me to forgive the person you most hated. Naughty Dog and their team challenge you to try and see another perspective from another persons side of the story. Ellie and Abby are very much similar people and have gone through very similar experiences leading up to and during the game. They take the narrative right up to the climax of where you hate Abby the most and then flip the switch to develop an understanding for her motives. The switch and reset back to day one is brilliant. They then run through Abby as a character and as she starts out quite rough and dead set on revenge (much like Ellie was) they build her character very well and ends up risking her as well as her friend's lives in order to save the enemy. She is very well developed and the game challenges you to forgive her, which is not easy. I love the way certain elements from Ellie's first three days tie very well into Abby's three days. I came into the aquarium on the ending of Abby's road to find a dead dog lying on the floor only to realize that I as Ellie had unknowingly killed Alice just a few hours ago. Life is hard , especially if you're living in a dystopian apocalypse, and it doesn't always work out the way you planned it to. Death is unexpected and you never know when it's coming or who it's coming for. I think that the people who don't enjoy this game are either too immature to understand the true message Naughty Dog is trying to convey or they just haven't had to experience life as a hardship, and that's okay. Honestly if you don't like or enjoy this game I can completely understand why. For me this game is a rare and promising step in mature video game future. A lot of people say this is lazy writing and I highly disagree. I think the writing was absolutely brilliant and extremely brave and done incredibly well. The first game was much more light hearted but still delved into some dark topics, and the second game was very emotionally brutal and taxing, this game grew up with the audience that loved the first game so much. The ending of the game had me absolutely bawling my eyes out and I probably won't mentally recover from this game for months. It is without a doubt one of the best games I've ever played and is tied with RDR2 on my list of top game story's.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having just finished my 8th playthrough with the new 60fps performance patch I can safely say this is, in my humble opinion, the greatest game I’ve ever played; and I’ve been doing this for 40 years. The story, the environments, the characters, everything is dripping with attention to detail. It is a luxurious package. I understand a lot of people are upset with the story. I respect that but personally I cannot wrap my head around that view. I hate all this woke rubbish more than anyone but none of this is that. Yes the protagonists are female, yes one is a lesbian, yes the other is ripped. And there’s a transboy. But everything melds effortlessly with the story and is organic and believable. It doesn’t feel like a box ticking exercise. It makes sense that someone like lev would want to rebel and break free of a traditionalist culture. It makes sense that Ellie is a lesbian. And it makes sense Joel’s past would catch up with him in the most brutal way imaginable. All told it is a wonderful, heartbreaking tale. And it plays like a dream.… Expand

    Without spoilers, the story is genius. It doesn't give the player what you want, it challenges you and compels you to think deeper. I love how the story investigates the consequences of revenge.

    Game play is amazing!

    If you like a simple story that feeds you who to love and who to hate, this isn't for you. If you are a bigot, this isn't for you.

    One of the most gripping and impactful games I’ve ever played. I’m still thinking about it 6 months after I finished it. Gameplay is smooth as butter & it set a new graphical standard for any game I play in the future. Story was a little too long but held my attention the entire time.

    Absolutely phenomenal game. I loved every second of it (though it gets very violent). Its a dark, heavy story that will make you want to keep going. Its gameplay is the best from any game, theres a 100 different ways to tackle each fight. It feels like a movie but it's way better than any movie could be.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the last of us part 2 and, despite all the criticism, is a great game. The gameplay is amazing and the kills are satisfying. the graphics are probably the best yet which just amplify the amazing atmosphere. The music, still not better than the 1st game, is pretty good. You play as 2 characters Ellie and Abby. Ellie's story is pretty good, but Abby's story is badly written at times. THe ending didn't feel satisfying to me because Abby doesn't look like Abby at the end, so it doesn't really feel like you're fighting Abby, though the epilogue was great. This is a must have for players who liked the first last of us and for ps4 users in general… Expand

    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.
