    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. He terminado el juego y pienso que cumple con las expectativas que se tenían de el ,si bien muchos no estamos de acuerdo de cómo murió Joel,creo que es algo que tenía que haber pasado debido a las acciones del mismo en el pasado,sinceramente llegue a sentir empatía jugando la campaña de Abby,hasta tal punto en que cuando Ellie se enfrenta a ella en la playa no me dieron ganas de asesinarl.
    A mi parecer la historia del videojuego tiene un buen balance entre momentos de tensión y tranquilidad,ni se diga de los gráficos.
    En cuanto a la sexualidad de los personajes,desde el primer juego se sabía que Ellie era lesbiana,así como Bill era homosexual,no veo una razón por la cual la gente se queja de ese aspecto.

    I'm French so sorry in advance for spelling mistakes. I wanted to rate the game because I find that the bad grades are totally unjustified. First of all, I would like to point out that the workload that the game staff is undergoing and all the policies around it are really not liveable and it was worth mentioning. But is Naughty Dogs the only studio to do this? Have we boycotted Red DeadI'm French so sorry in advance for spelling mistakes. I wanted to rate the game because I find that the bad grades are totally unjustified. First of all, I would like to point out that the workload that the game staff is undergoing and all the policies around it are really not liveable and it was worth mentioning. But is Naughty Dogs the only studio to do this? Have we boycotted Red Dead 2?

    Then those who then note that they do not have Ps4 and that they are raging or that they think that the game claims a cause more than another you are missing the plate. We judge a game for its swimming, its gameplay, its characters. Do not take things out of their contexts.

    The Last of Us is for me the best game I have ever played. The studio wanted to do more than a video game by questioning themes that mark us. They did it.
    I find the characters more worked than most films or series as they are human. We feel their faults but we understand them.

    Level of the scenario I am not a fan of the event which takes place after 2 hours of play and of the narrative choice of the second part.

    But The Last Of Us II wants to be realistic. And it REALLY is. I think that's what's bothering. The death of the characters is trivial because no one in a world like that of the game is.
    No hero is invincible, and no one in the game is a hero. No choice is fundamentally bad because they are just SURVIVORS.
    The music is very little present, which accentuates its presence during emotional moments. I think it's wanted from the studio.
    The gameplay is similar to the first, quite repetitive at times but for a game of thirty hours I never got bored. The AI ​​in the game is impressive, varying according to the difficulty chosen. There are a multitude of possible choices for apprehending gunfights. Human enemies by their movements, the communication they have with each other seem really alive.

    The game clearly has horrific sides. There are many jumpscares. I am not really a fan because it does not serve the plot but maybe the player can be surprised? Idk, in short. The weapons are cool, the landscapes are very varied and magnificent. The light is sumptuous whether it is the rain, the reflections of water, the reflections of the sun which expresses hope last the whole game. We explore new areas, some parts of which have remained intact which strengthens the world depicted. At the end, we can ask ourselves only one question: what should we have done in place of the characters? More than a story of revenge, TLOU challenges the eternal circle of revenge. The metaphor around the guitar is beautiful and full of meaning. There is so much to talk about in this game. I think this is one of the best games of its generation. Films or TV series should clearly be inspired by it. TLOU gives the characters such a great deal of humanity that it is said that everything is gray and not white or black. In addition, I salute the fact that the characters' sexuality is never put in the foreground. It’s just a fact and it’s not a character trait, it changes NOTHING. I hope TLOU 2 will get the artistic recognition (and not only in the video game field!) That it deserves. Just like a film we may or may not enjoy the story, like or not like the way it is told, but as a simple video game there is no shortage! (except for objectivity, the repetition of "I have to go to point A to point B" but although the content is not always ingenious, the form fills with poetry, humanity is always !! !) the th    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Пожалуй, лучшее из того, во что я играл.
    Техническое исполнение на каком-то космическом уровне. Очень порадовало то, как игра выглядит на старой PS4 fat. Игра нереально красива. PS4 fat тянет игру абсолютно без проблем, за все прохождение не было моментов, когда консоль пыталась бы взлететь, и это при таком уровне графики. Шок.
    Облазил все локации вдоль и поперек. Огромное спасибо команде ND за то, сколько сил они вложили в игровой мир, за его наполнение, визуальное исполнение, и внимание к деталям. Стадион ВОФ рассматривал по деталям, читал вывески...очень-очень круто. Многие пишут о том, что игра скучная и затянутая, но я не понимаю как в таком мире можно скучать. Возможно, скучно тем, кто старался максимально быстро пробежать сюжет игры, и увидеть концовку. Даже без стрельбы, просто изучать и рассматривать этот мир, мне было интересно. В этой игре сделал скринов гораздо больше, чем в любой игре до этого. Такого восторга визуал еще нигде не вызывал.
    Расчлененка в игре сделана идеально. Подрывать кого-то на мине, попадать взрывающимися стрелами, отстреливать конечности - оооочень круто.
    Не понимаю возмущений касательно лгбт. Какой-то агитации в игре не заметил. Да, главная героиня предпочитает девушек, но этому уделено не так много времени в игре. Нулей за это, игра явно не заслуживает.
    Понравилось сценарное решение сначала показать нам персонажей с плохой стороны, дать нам их убить, а потом провести по сюжету, где эти же персонажи еще живы, и раскрываются с положительной стороны. Особенно было жаль собак... Всю первую половину пригорал с того, что разрабы говорили, что у каждого персонажа будет свое имя, его будут связывать отношения с другими людьми, блогеры говорили о том, что из-за этого хочется меньше убивать. Но на меня это никак не влияло. Да, человека назвали по имени, кто-то громко крикнул его имя, ну и что? После того как начался сюжет за Эбби, отношение к этому полностью поменялось. Даже у каждой собаки есть подписанная клетка, у людей есть свои интересы, свой круг общения. Вообще твист с показом истории с другой стороны мне очень зашел. Как и вся сюжетная линия Эбби, которая оказалось очень хорошей по наполненности, и по действию. Для меня её мотивация и поступки куда более понятны, чем у той же Элли. Похожа на мужика? Так опять же, мотивация столько тренироваться понятна, она не была спрятана куда-то глубоко. Что бы это показать, целый диалог был...У Эбби, как по мне, получился куда более мрачный сюжет чем у Элли. Ей пришлось гораздо больше потерять, и больше преодолевать.
    Считаю, что The Last of us 2 must have. Только не пытайтесь пробежать её как можно быстрее, в этом мире очень много деталей, которые дают полностью прочувствовать атмосферу ужаса постапокалиптического мира    … Expand

    I am suspicious of all the negative reviews before it was possible to complete this 26+ hour film- I think lost of people just saw spoilers or streamers playing and decided it was trash. But you should only take reviews seriously that have actually played the game- not everyone will love it, but many will think it's an even better game that the first! I actually might consider myself among them- gotta start my second playthrough to be sure :)    … Expand

And then like Ellie, they are being unable to let go of her grief. That is the reason, why we need games like The Last Of Us 2. Because they hold up a mirror and challenge us, showing us what we don't want to see about ourselves. This is what art does.

    I was exposed to the spoilers well before the game released like so many, and although I was bummed out over the leaks, I kept my pre-order and beat the game the other day. To me, the first game was a certified 10 out of 10, no questions asked. Truly one my favorite games ever, both on PS3 and PS4. I never felt that the game needed any type of sequel. If anything, a prequel showing Joel's journey from Texas to Boston would have been a great idea, seeing his falling out with Tommy and his bond with Tess.

    Anyways, I was very excited for Part II despite feeling the game just wasn't necessary. Overall, I felt myself finally getting sucked into the story as playing as Ellie and her journey throughout Seattle. But this attachment to the story started to fade when Abby's story was the main focus for the second half of the game. I just never felt that interested in her story or the side characters involved in her plot.

    To me, that's the biggest reason why I gave this game an 8: the story. It just didn't captivate me the same way the first part did. Everything else like the gameplay, the looting, crafting, graphics, sound, atmosphere...it's all there. The story just wasn't that interesting to me at the end of the day. And because of that, I really don't have a desire to replay it anytime soon.

    I lost track of how many times I played through the first Last of Us, and maybe I will revisit Part II some day on the PS5, but the story was just a mess at times and kept breaking any momentum I felt. It's still a marvel to think about in terms of game design and everything, but to me, it's not a 10 or even a 9 out of 10. Still a very good game and one that people should experience for themselves, but to go from one of the best stories in all of gaming to what I experienced this time, it just was a let down in my opinion.

    I think maybe if the focus was heavily on Abby from the jump to build that attachment and momentum, I might find differently. But I enjoyed playing as Ellie and seeing those flashbacks with Joel.

    This game can amaze you with a deep plot, incredibly interesting and improved gameplay, which was in the first part, unexpected plot twists, etc.
    There are few games with such a good plot that you can take apart for a very long time and find small important details both in the game mechanics itself and in the plot. I love the second part, as well as the first 10/10

    Whilst TLOU2 is a masterpiece with regards to its gorgeous graphics, incredible attention to detail, beautifully composed music, brutal combat, and the undeniably tragic relationship between Joel and Ellie, it often suffers under the weight of its 2013 predecessor. Its major flaw, and the reason I've not awarded it a 10, is the pacing, and how major events within the story are placedWhilst TLOU2 is a masterpiece with regards to its gorgeous graphics, incredible attention to detail, beautifully composed music, brutal combat, and the undeniably tragic relationship between Joel and Ellie, it often suffers under the weight of its 2013 predecessor. Its major flaw, and the reason I've not awarded it a 10, is the pacing, and how major events within the story are placed within the narrative. The game often feels bloated, and the urgency sometimes fluctuates as its characters root through draws and lockers for equipment, and without many real environmental puzzles, the game often goes through the motions until the next cutscene.

    There are no heroes in TLOU2's bleak and relentlessly grim world, and the game frequently reminds you of this as you hack, dismember, and shoot your way through a stunning post-apocalyptic Seattle over the course of three days. Thankfully, there are reprieves: TLOU2 is scattered with beautiful flashbacks, which take you away from the endless violence and threat, and these moments are when Naughty Dog are able to bring life to its survivors. These flashbacks often tug on the heartstrings without any hint of over-sentimentality too. Aside from its main characters, whilst TLOU had compelling side-characters, aside from Dina, TLOU2 does not. This is not to say they are strictly unlikeable (bar Manny, a by-the-numbers womanizing Latino male stereotype), but are not particularly memorable either. The game lacks a much needed nuance in some of its characterisations, but, to be fair to Naughty Dog, the game's treatment of Joel and Ellie's tumultuous, yet touching relationship remains the soul of the game, even if these moments are relatively fleeting.

    If, as a player, you are emotionally invested in its themes of desperation, vengeance, guilt, and forgiveness, and most importantly, willing to play it with an open mind, the last few hours remain as gripping as any game released. Even gamers with no emotional investment in its story and characters should really find the game's visceral combat, its immersive world and breath-taking surroundings enough. It's undeniably a polarising game, but one thats story should be experienced for what it is, and not what it isn't.    … Expand

    One of the greatest games ever made, but not everyone will like it. This is a decision from Naughty Dog, and a brave one. This game everyone should play, many will love it, and many will hate it, but you can't judge until you play, until you feel it. This is something you have to experience yourself so you will have your own opinion about it.

    It might not be the game you want, but it's the game you got is the perfect way to sum up the last of us 2. Expectedly the game isn't perfect by any means; but it's a quintessential journey which should be experienced by everyone who loves the first game.

    TLDR AT THE BOTTOM OF REVIEW The linear environments which set the scene of the first game are hugely expanded upon in this game;    It might not be the game you want, but it's the game you got is the perfect way to sum up the last of us 2. Expectedly the game isn't perfect by any means; but it's a quintessential journey which should be experienced by everyone who loves the first game.

    TLDR AT THE BOTTOM OF REVIEW

    The linear environments which set the scene of the first game are hugely expanded upon in this game; weather it's exploring a quite suburb of seattle or being forced into a claustrophobic, dark and frightening underground system, there's no injustices served in terms of the environments crated and their atmospheres. Beautiful juxtapositions are seen in every single environment always reminding you that no matter how dark this world is there's always what seems to be room for hope to come from the most unexpected places. Schools, hospitals and apartments where nature has taken over are opposed by the small glimpses of hope from humans trying to get back to a somewhat new normal way of life surviving; notes, dwellings, camps, and societies show that there will always be something to fight for even if to some it could be moral wrong, as the world is not black and white but a grity, dirty shade of gray. It's just as much fun surviving in this game as it was the last. Crafting bombs, laying traps and thinking about your next move is just as much fun as it is tense and frightening. There's always room for error and it's brutal when it goes wrong, as you'll have to do everything to get back on the proper foot. This is where the gameplay shines the most for me as the new features such as hiding in grass, new bad guys and factions will keep you on your toes.

    Although some of the characters can fall short in this story of being amazing, they're still none the less solid. Fortunately none of them feel as if they were placed in the game to push an agenda or political view as you might have heard people complaining about. Weather you love or hate the characters there's no denying that they have real emotion and depth behind them and their relationships feel organic and true to themselves.

    Lastly for the positives, the accessibility in this game is what every single developer should stride towards. Weather you hate or love the game, there are so many ways to customise how you play your game. It's never been easier for someone which unfortunately may have never been able to pick up a game and play without difficulties, to actually just play a game and enjoy it with what I hope is little difficulty.

    Sadly the story is very hit or miss, however it should be stated that this game was never meant to satisfy everyone as its meant to decisive and it's certainly done this. For every high point in the story comes a low point and it can sometimes fail to hit the mark by a lot. Although the characters themselves are amazingly thought out and acted, there are some motives which I agree with the majority of players don't make sense. It's not to say the story is bad, but it's extremely convoluted.

    Much like the story the pacing is extremely slow and detrimental to the point where I had to take a break for a few days just to be in the mood to go back to it. The fact that it darts around time wise and tells the story step by step is draining. They almost treat the player like a child sadly which is almost insulting, as there are plenty of times in the story where can assume what happened through dialogue etc... But instead they insisted we play it. I agree that this was probably a good call as by the end of the game you can really put yourself into the main characters shoes as they themselves are drained, but there is a LOT of unnecessary filler. Together they unfortunately bring down what could have been an immersive and fun story. It's not to say the story is bad, it's the structure of the story. It's fun piecing things together but for a game which relies heavily on human emotions and the cost of life it seems to just skip over these themes like it's nothing and go straight to revenge, which is the main theme of the story but without the foundation for revenge or a motivation and understanding, it can fall flat. TLDR SECTION:

    Pros:
    Gameplay
    Graphics Environment Sound design Characters
    ACCESSIBILITY

    Cons:
    Convoluted story
    Slow pacing

    The last of us part 2 is an almost polished masterpiece in most ways, however it falls flat at some memorable points as well as by some of the themes it conveys. As I said before it is a quintessential must play for a fan of the first game as it builds on the world extremely well overall, however you HAVE to go into this game with an open mind, accepting it might not be what you want but it's going to be one hell of a journey. Lastly if you unfortunately find it hard to play games due any kind of disability I'd recommend picking this game up eventually, it's a solid experience and has a huge array of accessibility features for a range of people.    … Expand

I think they could redeem it with a 3rd game - I'd be pretty disappointed if they left it likeAs with the first game, the storytelling is amazing - the acting, mocap, script are all movie quality.

    Graphics and gameplay are incredible, as is always the case with ND. I highly recommend playing on survivor difficulty - it added about 20 hours to the average game time for me. It's not frustratingly difficult which is good - instead it makes every encounter feel like a puzzle, and the world becomes even more brutal and immersive, where you really appreciate every resource that you come across.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its a game good in technical aspects, so I will just take on history aspects: Its a deep story, it's not about revenge, revenge is the plot which is used to create the story, which is all about the characters, their moralities and the consequences of these conflicting, about growth, about loss, about tragedy It shows us a villain murdering in cold blood our favorite character, and it makes us hate Abby, and sets us players on the same revenge quest as Ellie. Everything flows like a normal story and then it comes to a moment where they put into Abby's shoes, almost everyone hated being put in that place, but after a few hours, many players, myself including, stop hating Abby that much and see how she is an actual person with a good heart and how she suffered, and how everything that happened to her, the death of the fireflies and her death lead a good person to commit horrific actions, like killing Joe, which she, later on, realizes that it didn't bring any pleasure, it didn't fulfill the emptiness that she was left with after her Dads death, who in the end was just tryna save the world. her vengeance only brought tragedy and pain, her friends died bc of it, and she goes after Ellie, tries to kill her but stops when she had the chance, bc she knew nothing good would become out of it, this was only possible bc Abby was no longer the ruined and devastated monster we saw, she went back to being a good person bc of two kids who saved her life with who she felt compassion and created a bond, willing to abandon everything she had for them "you are my people" she said to Lev, she abandoned the wolves, I cause she was fighting for even though not believing in them truly. She simply needed something to fight for. All her friends were killed, her love, her pregnant friend, for the "daughter"/friend of the guy she killed for killing her father, she had the chance to finish Ellie Dina and Tommy and she was gonna do it bc of all the rage she had within her, but Lev suddenly stops and then the good person in her kicks in her, she realizes that that would never change things and she goes away, now that's character growth Abby is Like Joel, a good person doing horrible things because of a tragedy in the past, and a kid changes her for the better again... Abby's revenge quest is also similar to Ellie's, with the difference that Abby, lost way more than Ellie they are all good people doing or that did horrible stuff The game doesn't want to forcibly like Abby but to at least understand that she is also human and that there's no right or wrong in this situation Then Ellie years after is presented with the opportunity of getting her revenge, and she doesn't get herself to do it because she realized what Abbie realized way sooner than her, and that's why Abby didn't want to fight either... Ellie loses everything and is devastated, all she went through was not worth it even by killing Abby, she lost friends, her life with Dina, she did horrible feelings she regretted it, all in the desperation of trying to fulfill the emptiness and the trauma she was not able to live with. and we, in the end, find out that Ellie didn't simply want revenge for joe, she had finally given the chance to Joe, for them to rebuild their relation, and she lost it right in front of her eyes. It's a sad story with no conclusive ending, it's supposed to leave u thinking and as devastated as Ellie, its powerfully emotional, and tries to get out of all types of clichés by trying to focus the story on different aspects like morality, humanity, emotions, characters, their growth, consequences of the conflict between those characters and much more, it's not about a clear objective, it's about these things

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the first game almost once every year, and i liked the the second one even more.
    The story of the second one is written in a lot less accessible way to most people.

    You have to read between the lines and make your own conclusions by connecting the dots by using common knowledge and being aware to how realistic characters would react to many different types of hardships, whereas with the first game it was a more direct and literal narrative approach.

    In the first game anything that the characters thought and/or felt was easily noticeable and was layed out right in front of you.
    There's nothing wrong with that kind of story telling at all. But it is much more of a challenge, both for the writers and the players, to have a story told in a more complex and nuanced manner when it comes to the development of the characters.

    Unfortunately most people weren't able to accept that a story that didn't turn out to be the one THEY wanted it to be, could still be just as good of a story at the end. And the ones who were able to accept it and still didn't like it probably do actually have valid reasons for it. Unfortunately those people are rare and their legitimate criticisms have been lost in a sea of ignorance due to the fact that the majority blindly closed themselves off from giving the game any chance whatsoever months before the game was even released.
    All the people i've heard saying they hated the game also had the game spoiled for them through leaks.

    Very unfortunate if you ask me since i firmly believe they've robbed themselves of an experience that could've possibly been a much better one than with the first game.

    Because it sure as hell was for me.

    Did joel deserve better?
    Yes and no
    For us as the player he surely did because of the connection we had with him from the first game.
    In the grand scheme of things, he got what he deserved if you look at it from any other perspective outside of our own.

    And to the people who say that joel did deserve a more respectful way to die in an absolute literal sense.
    I want you to consider this.
    If joel had died in an act of heroism as most people wish he would have, would you have gotten as angry as you did now?
    No you wouldn't.
    Abby didn't just kill joel, he put him down as if he was a rabid dog.
    And it truly sucked...and it made us absolutely furious with abby.
    But that's the point. The player's hatred is what fuels our motivation to avenge him. That is good story telling. Period. But this doesn't mean this was a story about revenge. Because it absolutely was not. More on that later. And the people who say that joel introducing himself to strangers is uncharacteristic of him, maybe you should pay a little more attention to the actual dialog. It wasn't joel who initially introduced himself to abby's group. It was tommy. And no i'm not talking about the scene where he got shot in the leg. Before that when abby, joel and tommy were escaping from the horde, right before they got onto the horses, tommy introduced himself and joel to abby by name. Not joel. This was done in an effort to calm abby down as she was visibly distressed which was a liability. After finding out who tommy and joel were, abby lured them to her groups hideout. Now, as for people calling this a revenge story and saying that there's no real dilemma present in the narrative, think again.
    There might not be a moral dilemma present like in the first game, but there is an emotional one.
    And is drives the entire narrative of the game.
    Some might think that this emotional dilemma is ellie's thirst for vengeance, but that's not the one.
    I'm talking about the dilemma of forgiving an atrocious act committed by someone.
    And yet again, if you're thinking i'm referring to ellie forgiving abby, you'd be wrong once more.
    Because ellie never forgave abby, even at the end.
    No, instead she forgave joel.
    Which she wasn't able to do before the very ending of the game.
    This is why we get to see the last conversation ellie and joel had where ellie stated that she didn't know if she would ever be able to forgive joel, but she would like to try.
    Now because of this ellie also carries an immense amount of guilt with her since the last thing she told joel was that she didn't know if she could ever forgive him. This guilt fuels her inability to forgive joel, which in turn fuels her guilt, and so on and so on...
    The tragedy of this all is the fact ellie didnt see what we saw when during her last conversation with joel. Because after she left, joel was visably relieved. That's the tragedy.
    Joel was contempt with the way things were, while ellie feels guilt because she think she let joel die thinking that she hated him.

    People say the writing is lazy? I say everyone else is too lazy to attempt to actually understand the writing. And for what reason?
    Because their favorite character was killed off. Nothing more nothing less.    … Expand

I understand that the story is divisive, but it completely worked for me. I felt all the rage and guilt Ellie was as she made her way through Seattle, and being forced to reflect on those decisions in the latter parts of the game was extremely impactful, with such a cathartic finale that I will be thinking about this game for a long time to come. Though the story was heavy, the the moments of levity shone all the more brightly, and I have already started replaying the game, which is just as rewarding the second time through!

    Emotionally exhausting and devastating. I thought that some of the story beats were superfluous and that the game was a bit too long. Nevertheless, this comes close to video game perfection.

    One of the best games of all tim, perfect send off to this generation of games.

    Druckmann perfectly encapsulates the intense feelings of Ellie as a character and tells a compelling tale.

    Es una obra maestra incomprendida por muchos, con una historia que nos muestra que la venganza no trae nada bueno.
    En gameplay es mucho mejor que su antecesor y tanto gráficamente como todo el apartado técnico son lo mejor al día de hoy en un videojuego

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No quesito técnico o jogo é perfeito: Gráficos impressionantes e foto realistas, melhores expressões faciais que eu já vi, gameplay flúida e sem bugs, apenas o primeiro loading que demora 1 minuto mas depois disso não tem mais, uma ambientação impecável que se você analisar bem uma casa por exemplo da pra ver que as pessoas que ficavam lá tinham uma rotina, uma ótima inteligência artificial que realmente faz os inimigos parecerem humanos pois eles gritam os nomes de um quando ele morre que faz parecer por exemplo que eles estavam juntos faz tempo e realmente se conheciam o único problema é que as vezes você vê o mesmo modelo de inimigo varias vezes, zerei o jogo em 35 horas pois explorei o máximo que eu pode e eu recomendo que você também faça o mesmo pois é muito recompensador não só com recursos mas também com cartas e bilhetes de sobreviventes que são muito legais de ler sem contar com os mais de 200 colecionáveis, cofres, bancadas de melhoria, remédios para melhorar e conseguir habilidades novas como matar mais rápido no furtivo, produzir mais flechas de uma vez e etc, algumas armas escondidas e conversas e cutscenes secundárias entre os personagens que são muito boas como quando Ellie toca take on me no violão para Dina que é muito lindo e memorável, o jogo tem uma dublagem perfeita mas eu recomendo que você ligue a legenda pois as vezes se você estiver muito longe de um companheiro você não vai ouvir bem mas com legenda você pode entender melhor a conversa e por fim o jogo é muito acessível para quem tem alguma Deficiência física pois tem muitas opções de acessibilidade e todos os botões são personalizáveis. Quanto a história é obrigatório ter jogado o primeiro jogo pois é uma continuação direta e se você não jogar o primeiro jogo vai terminar por ficar perdido em muitos momentos, a história é ótima e consegue mostrar os 2 lados da história e ainda nos empatisa com a abby que matou o joel e nos faz entender o seu lado mostrando que todo vilão é o herói de sua própria história, todos os personagens são bem feitos e cativantes, o amor da Ellie e Dina é muito bem fe ito sem forçação de barra e sem lacração, tudo é muito natural e cinematográfico mas mesmo assim tem muita gameplay, talvez o único problema seja algumas decisões dos personagens e a morte precoce de um personagem na primeira hora de jogo mas mesmo assim a história é boa e o final mesmo que muitos não tenham gostado é muito bom, triste e humano mostrando como a nossa mente é complexa pois não é explícito porque a Ellie poupou a Abby no final mas eu acho que foi porque ela não queria fazer a mesma coisa que a Abby fez com ela pro Lev. Resumindo na minha opinião vale muito a pena para todos os jogadores do primeiro jogo e é perfeito em todos os aspectos 1010 só senti falta de um modo multiplayer ou qualquer modo secundário sem ser da história .… Expand

    A wonderful continuation of the story of the last of us, keeping the same brutal and dark storyline of the first but this time going even darker. With twists and turns throughout I found myself at certain times just not wanting it to ever end but at others I wanted to get through the torment. The game leaves me with a feeling of both sadness and happiness which I didn’t know was possible.A wonderful continuation of the story of the last of us, keeping the same brutal and dark storyline of the first but this time going even darker.

    This game challenges you to think from multiple perspectives. The people who dislike this game seem to miss the point. The developers have done something different here and I personally love it.
    They have gone all out with this game and it sure plays out like a movie, even during gameplay sometimes, which is really impressive.
    Also, finishing this game will leave you emotionally devastated.

    I have never rated any game before, but seeing the hate that TLOU2 received, I felt like I had to. The hate is not representative of the game.

It can sometimes be unconfortable. But ist is what makes the game so unique, so perfect. TLOU has always been about the fine line between living and dying, between what's good and what' s wrong. The game does it perfectly. No body is safe, no one is invincible. And it shows us that one's actions are not always good for everyone. I do understand that the game is not for everyone. But I cannot understand why some poeple would give it a zero. It is visually stunning. The story is long, complex and so enjoyable. The gameplay is even better than the first game. It should be at least a 7/10, but for me, it's a 10, without a doubt. It is the best game I have played in my entire life. Period. A game so deep and so powerful will always stay in my top.… Expand

    A memorable and deeply human tale of hatred and the choices we make, with quite possibly the best action/stealth hybrid gameplay in the genre whose elements bleed back and forth into and out of the narrative.

    In my opinion, this is one of the best games ever created. If you own a PS4 you should buy it and experience it by yourself.

The story is absolutely revolutionary, that isn't made to make you happy but to make you reflect on how loss can bring out the worst in mankind and how revenge is just a continuous cycle of violence. Everything about how the story is told is something that I have never seen before in a videogame. The dialogues, the cutscenes and flashbacks are just beautiful and really make you think. I have finished the game 3 days ago and still think about it all the time. Besides the story, the graphics are the best I have ever seen in a ps4, as well as the animations and audio design. The world is amazing, beautiful and feels that actual people lived there. The gameplay takes everything that is good in the first game and enhances it even more. The game is also incredibly polished and I havent found a single bug or glitch in it. An incredible masterpiece and "mandatory" for every one that calls himself/herself a gamer.… Expand

    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]
