    O final do jogo em si não faz muito sentido no entanto, Ellie atravessa vários estados em busca de vingança, deixa uma pilha de corpos para trás, e quando consegue finalmente dominar a Abby, ela percebe que vingança é ruim e deixa Abby viva?
    Dito isso, é com certeza um dos melhores jogos já feitos, principalmente levando em conta as em questões técnicas, como gráficos, jogabilidade, atenção aos detalhes (expressões faciais e cutscenes), variedade de cenários, etc.    … Expand

For some reason the haters just disregard everything but the story of the game and blindly write a 0 out of 10. This is a philosophical game that will leave you thinking long after you have finished it. I truly feel sad for the people that can’t experience this masterpiece the way it’s supposed to be experienced due to them hating on naughty dog for not taking the story in the way they wanted it to. If you want to look for reviews of the game, disregard the user score and just look at the professional critic scores. If that doesn’t tell you that this is worth picking up I don’t know what will. This is a revolutionary game that changes the way story driven games can be told and is through the best ever story driven game of all time. I will take that to my grave. Every single non sensical point a hater brings up is easily rebutted. Do yourself a massive favour and don’t listen to people hating the game.… Expand

    I felt this kind of cinematic storytelling combining with gameplay interactions is still very impactful. I never expected I able to get so many seemingly real and complicated feelings in a game. This sequel have more information, character designs also very in depth, it required more attention while ‘playing’ to find out. Give 10/10, merely because this experience is too unique to me.

El juego tiene partes de acción bastante buenas, gráficos espectaculares, gran jugabilidad, pero la historia no sirve, también se olvidaron que es un juego post-apocalíptico con infectados, pasas mayor parte del juego luchando contra humanos que contra infectados, además de que perdió la esencia del miedo que causaba, por momentos demasiado largos no había zombies y cuando los había eran demasiados, cuando en TLOU había pocos al menos por cada sala y podías evitarlos pero en la segunda parte te los aventaban a todos de golpe, gran fallo en eso. Aún así me parece muy épico, muchas horas de juego, vas a hacer corajes con la historia pero es un juego que sigue valiendo la pena, sin embargo no le llega ni a los talones al primer TLOU… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. It has refined the gameplay mechanics of the first bring TLOU truly into this generation. It tells a story that has taken a lot of flak online but when you dive deep into it it's a tremendous story of 2 women driven by revenge and the consequences of those actions. A must play for anyone who loves complex storytelling and for pretty much everyone that owns a PS4.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game had an almost insurmountable task of following the first, but manages to do so in an unexpected and innovative way. Gameplay, graphics, and sound are as impressive as the first, and shows a natural evolution despite some predictable human A.I. The story structure was completely unique. The revenge cliche still feels like a slight drawback, but the way it’s done makes it so much more than that. Perhaps even more than the first, this is a game of consequences. It’s about different experiences from different perspectives. How Joel’s choices impacted Ellie’s and Abby’s, into how Abby’s impacts Ellie’s, and how Ellie’s impacts Abby’s. There’s no one to root for in this game, and that will leave a bad taste in some peoples mouths. I feel like Ellie killing Abby May have been a more logical ending, though it has left me wondering what’s next for these characters. This is a complicated story that will hit each player differently. 9.5/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I spent exactly a month to complete this game, I must say this game is something else entirely. I cried while playing/going through the end and this is the first time ever that I have cried after finishing a game. I am a person whose favourite game was God Of War (2018) until I finished this game. In my opinion to really enjoy this game, one must be patient and have an unbiased mindset. Of course Joel was one the most lovable characters and what happened to him towards the beginning was extremely heartbreaking. However, I loved Abby and her character arc. Even felt bad for her at times because maybe the game was about Empathy after all and I am in empathetic person. I am not even talking about the tiny details that NaughtyDog had put throughout the whole game. The mechanics, graphics and detailing is extremely good. Lastly, in my opinion The Last of Us Part 2 is a much better and a diverse game than The Last of Us. The Last of Us Part 2 is without question game of the generation and deserves game of the year.… Expand

This is a game about put things down and let it go, not forgiveness, there is a major difference between put everything away and forgiving. Ellie made her choice in the end, I’m not gonna judge about it here since I don’t want to spoil and plot. But it makes sense if you paid attention to every detail to the game, including read her journal frequently. You could experience the emotions through out the game. The story as a whole is definitely a tragedy, but a extremely beautiful one. Naughty Dog did a great work on controlling players emotions, even though I do agree that some parts might be too aggressive and hard to accept. I’d give this game a 10, considering the story or not. Because the Naughty Dog team had created the one of the greatest game with atmosphere and a sense of realistic among those PS4 era games. Whether people like the story, the team definitely deserves an A+ on bringing these small details to life. Another thing I’d like to mention is the technology of facial detection in this game. Joel and Ellie’s conversations are the most realistic and emotional experience I’ve ever had in my 10 years of gaming. In the end, I would say that I definitely recommend you to play this game even though I know that there is many negative reviews and critics on the internet about it. But try to experience it yourself, it is going to be a whole different story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I read a several reviews of this game before starting it. The greatest criticisms I read of the game were that Ellie becomes someone unrecognizable from who she'd been in the first game, that the violence is gratuitous, and that the violence and struggle depicted in the game is not justified by the ending. I actually agree with all of these statements. What I don't agree with is the idea that these three facets of the game are it's failures. I understand why they upset people, but ultimately I feel that these characteristics were integral parts of an intentional tragedy rather than a function of poor storytelling.

    In the first game we watch as a young Ellie becomes more thoughtful and withdrawn while grappling with the violence of the world around her. In the second, we play as an adult Ellie that we only really come to understand through flashbacks sprinkled throughout the game. You are not supposed to fully understand Ellie's motivations, forcing you to question them and her decisions throughout the game when you want to be agreeing with her. This is compounded as Ellie makes more and more questionable decisions as the game continues, and as you are forced to experience the fallout of those decisions both from her perspective and the perspective of those she's fighting. You start off wanting to root for her, but by the end of her time in Seattle, the best you can do is hope she makes it out alive. It is painful to watch a character you love and are invested in become almost unrecognizable to you because of her own decisions. Tragic, but not poorly written.

    I do not consider myself someone who has many reservations about violence in storytelling; my dislike of horror movies having more to do with contrived plots than gore. Yet, the endless tension and violence of this game was emotionally exhausting in ways I anticipated, but was still not prepared for. Just when you think you're almost done, you have to play through it all over again working against those you're rooting for while knowing the ultimate futility of your actions. It was enough to make me want to put down the controller and stop playing, but just reading a summary online wouldn't have been satisfying enough and everything the game had made me go through up to that point would have been for nothing. So I keep playing and pushed through the violence and struggle to gain some closure. This, I imagine, is exactly the feeling that keep Ellie and Abby on their path's of revenge. It's not that I was unaware that the game was trying to draw these parallels between Abby and Ellie, it would be pretty hard not to be, but the success with which they were able to draw parallels between what I as the player was feeling and what they as the two playable characters on opposite sides of a conflict were feeling, is pretty damn impressive. This game is the single best example of the strengths of video games as a medium in story telling that I can think of. The first game introduces the idea of cycles of violence as something that the world is stuck in, the second game shows you one of these cycles in action. The gratuity of the violence is emblematic of the cycles of it they find themselves in, and their willfully ignorant perpetuation of it feels tragic rather than thoughtless.

    Ellie and Abby's motivations are eventually revealed to parallel each other, and while Ellie's character development continues to parallel Abby's in her self destructive quest for revenge, Abby's character development slowly shifts to parallel Joel's. The final climax comes with Ellie finding Abby in Santa Barbara and Abby refusing to fight, but when her young charge is threatened she ultimately fights and disfigures Ellie in a decision that loosely parallels Joel's choice to kill the fireflies. Yet when confronted with the opportunity to get revenge on the person who killed her father, as Abby was at the beginning of the game, Ellie makes a different choice. Some seem to view this as a failure on Ellie's part, or as a failure on the writer's part. That if Ellie could choose not to kill Abby, then she could have just as easily chosen not to go after Abby the second time, or the first time, or that Abby could have chosen no to go after Joel in the first place. If the cycles of violence that were used to justify Joel's choices, and the choice of a soldier to open fire on him and Sarah can be opted out of, then doesn't that render every death, every loss, every difficult choice made in the series meaningless? Yeah. Yeah, it does, but not because Abby was allowed to live, but because all of it was already meaningless. Ellie's choice just opened our eyes to that fact.

    There are many reasons not to enjoy a game, and I can understand why the ones discussed here could tarnish your enjoyment of this one and even the series as a whole. But questions of enjoyment and quality are separate and regardless of whether I would call this game enjoyable, it's certainly not lacking in quality.    … Expand

People who complain about the plot, and not getting revenge are totally missing the point. Go play something else if you want simplistic videogame plots with no conflict. I found myself completely uncomfortable by then end of the game in the best way possible. I didn't want either character to die. Because in either characters shoes I could justify their actions. Ellie knew Joels reckoning was somewhat justified. So she couldn't being herself to follow through with killing Abby, it wouldn't give her closure. Just a great story that has set a new bar for me.… Expand

    Siento que la gente se queja de algo que no tiene sentido, es cierto el personaje de Abby no es para nada un buen personaje, pero creo que las mecanicas son excelentes, completamente pulidas, y es un juego que no se corta la lengua al querer contar una historia, cruda, real y lo mas humana posible.

Graphically gorgeous, artistic direction top notch, music, very good, though, I was expecting the sequence from that 2017 trailer with Ellie singing Through the Valley, this never came... Gameplay physics, top of naughty dog, yet, Rockstar games still one step ahead in my opinion especially for the horse ridding (minor part of the gameplay here). A must play for PS4, and with probably a nice remaster on PS5 one year from now, will be enjoyable.… Expand

    In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, shortly after he uttered the words let there be light, and there was light. After a quick smoko God said, “Let there be Naughty Dog”, and alas, the greatest gaming company was created…

    Last of Us part 2 is their magnus opus. The attention to detail is so akin to reality that sometimes I found myself shivering in scenes when manoeuvring through snow, and in others of windy overpasses, my hair swayed sitting in my living room with the windows closed. If I came across an unsettling lake or river of sorts I paused the game to put on a life vest from fear of being unable to pass from one side of the riverbed to the other safely. And this is all from an environment perspective, let us not forget the in-depth detail from the facial expression of the characters and their movements; sometimes when Ellie is looking into the camera with a look so harrowing even the bravest of humans would cower, I find myself running out of the room in tears profusely sweating and apologising to Ellie for the day I was born. By the same token, the natural flow of the conversations between the characters are so lifelike and in-depth that when I was having dinner I catch myself laying out extra plates and cutlery because I was convinced the audio making its way through my headphones must mean there were other people in my home.

    There has been much debate over the story, and I must admit, at first I was shocked in the direction they were going, although this could equally be attributed to my Revlon turbo hair dryer I bought on a hefty discount from an unregistered street vendor last winter short-circuiting.
    The deep love I have for the characters is no different to the love I have for my 7-month year old poodle who this morning thought it was a great idea to mimic the stealth in the game by sneakily and tenderly grabbing my playstation control from its charging dock, whilst I was boarding up the windows to prevent any clickers from getting inside, and attempting to bury it in the yard. Yet what I do know is change is rarely anything but good, it is a constant that is always needed. Look, do not get me wrong, I like watching Shawshank Redemption on repeat just as much as the next guy/gal, but if they made a second one with a very similar storyline, boredom and disappointment would ensue. I believe they did the best they could with the tools at their disposal (not to be confused with it being less than 99.99% amazing). The first game’s story was so original, so poignant, that I doubt something in a similar vein should have been reproduced for a sequel.

    Loved the game. Decent story, great game play, stunning visuals and audio! Hits the message hard (revenge is bad)..while the ending has made most people upset, by the end of the 25+hours, it was pretty difficult to choose sides (despite our association with the characters of TLOU 1) and the game did pose moral dilemma a few times which was very good..

    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.
