    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing! If you liked the first one then you’ll love this, it’s more of the same but bigger, faster, more detailed, more immersive! The story isn’t as good as the first one but it’s a different game, it does however feel like a continuation of the story from the first game and certain events that take place however terrible they may be you can perhaps understand why those involved wanted to do what they did! It’s by no means a bad story, it’s not bad at all it’s just different but still fantastic!! Makes you think is revenge ever worth it? The way the game invokes emotion is unreal, I had stopped playing a couple of times as it was all too much! I felt drained in the same way you’d expect the characters to be tired! Where in the first game you could strategically hide in one location for as long as you like whilst planning your next move, in part 2 they NPC’s are looking for you and will find you! This keeps you on your toes constantly! The gameplay is effortless and everything you want to do, can be done! On a technical level, it’s a masterpiece, i look at the reflections and although i know they didn’t use ray tracing, the reflections are just that good! The frame rate is solid 30fps in 1440p on the Pro and only the only time it ever dipped was when i was in water! Which i might add accounts for about 2 mins of the 30hours in game.
    This game is a must have, if you don’t get it then it’s you’re loss entirely! Honestly 10 out of 10 and possibly the best game of this generation and one of the top ten greatest games ever released!    … Expand

I'm here to say I've enjoyed the gameplay and some moment's as the story progressed. Many people and at some point including me we never thought this ending was coming but that's the beauty of creating your own piece of art. This is not only about game developing. We as a community might not like how this turned out but we were so hyped about this game and now everyone is just hating because of the choices of the creators did.… Expand

    Лутание, квесты и пространство: Стало всего больше, но распределено местами не пропорционально, из-за этого в некоторых местах хочется подзевнуть. В 1-ой части всё было компактнее и следовательно интенсивнее, скорее всего из-за ограниченности PS3.
    8 из 10
    Визуал + звук: Уровень художников и проработка мелочей зашкаливает, особенно поразили тени и свет... на PS4 такое... Лицевые анимации лучшие в игровой индустрии. На PS4 slim фпс в некоторых местах проседает до 10-15, но в основном стабильные 30. Звук также потрясающий, стерео на максималках. Жалко что только гитару на 3-ей план разместили...
    10 из 10
    Сюжет: Ощущение, что писали нейросети)) Как вызвать максимальную драму? Убить любимого персонажа. Как придать мотивацию ГГ убивать и двигаться вперёд? Заставить мстить. Какая модная повестка в геймдеве? Борьба за права меньшинств. В 1-ой части был мощный понятный всем твист, ради которого вся игра и строилась. В данной части твисты заключаются в понимании мотивации персонажей... думаю большинство их даже не заметят))) Вообщем сюжет не для всех, который скорее всего и был создан для разделения аудитории.

    I understand the hate and controversy of the game but in the end, whether you like it or not it's an impressive game. It goes without saying that it's Naughty Dog's best-looking game and pushes the ps4 to its limits.

    The last of us part II tem um enredo muito bem construído e com personagens interessantes., sem contar nos gráficos e na gameplay que tornam o jogo dinâmico e muito lindo, principalmente em momentos de violência, que por sinal é bem realista...
    Enfim, acho que esse é um dos ou o melhor jogo da geração.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ignore the review bombers, it's an amazing stealth/action/horror game with top class production values and presentation, unparalleled gameplay, and amazing story. Naughty Dog improved every aspect of the first game to some unreal levels, and if grim dramas are your cup of tea, this is a game for years to come.

    There is definitely wokeness to the story, but its presented in a tasteful and unforced manner, really, and it largely gets lost in everything else, it's a huge game that has logical places for all its elements. It absolutely doesn't not dilute the overall impression TLOU2 makes. As of controversial Abby, she is a great character in her own right, and unlike the neckbeards would have you believe, she isn't transgender.

    Do yourself a favour and play TLOU2, it's worth every minute.    … Expand

    It’s beautiful and the game play is more creative and has more options than the first one. The scenery is incredible as always. There’s a lot of character tension and empathy building (maybe that’s what all the haters are trying to resist? Experiencing conflicting feelings?) Love it, love it, love it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я очень долго писал отзыв, но он стёрся, поэтому вкратце.

    Хорошая игра - это та игра, которая вызывает эмоции. В этой игре их было много.
    Я рыдал как ё*аная с*чка, когда Джоэла убили. И это хорошо.
    Что насчёт Эбби. Она крайне противоречивый персонаж. Многие её ненавидели, проклинали, но в итоге, когда Элли совсем одичала, Эбби оказалась куда лучше. Месть взяла верх над Элли и затуманила её разум. Под конец, я даже стал её [Элли] ненавидеть.
    В начале игры за Эбби я хейтил её как только можно. Однако, по ходу раскрытия персонажа моё мнение о ней кардинально изменилось. Скажите мне хоть одну игру, где протагонист становится плохим, а антагонист, хорошим? (Если такие есть, то извиняюсь, просто не вспомнил таких. Но это не отменяет того, что это в играх можно встретить крайне редко)
    Что по оценкам:
    - Графика 10/10, лучше уже не будет.
    - Геймплей 7/10, слишком затянута миссия с Левом и концовка.
    - Сюжет 9/10, крайне редко в играх можно увидеть падение главного героя (Элли, не Эбби), как личность. Мне это нравится.

Obviusly as other reviews, in the history is kind they kill joel and that can give you a shock, also the history is about revenge which is not that original. But I dont think that is enough to make the game bad. Actually is pretty entetrtaining, no as challenging as the first one, even in survivor difficulty. i hope they introduce a grounded difficulty as the firts one.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This Game will probably be one of my favorite games of 2020. Now I'm not saying this game is better than the first game. But, it is still really Amazing. Ellie story is done in my opinion a well done way. Everything from the flashback to the ending made sense to me. Now the only critic I had for this game was that we play as Abby. To me I understand why we play as Abby because there are two sides to every coin but, I wish her story would have been cut down to make room for Ellie's story instead. Or better yet make her story a cutscene based story happening while Ellie story is happening. Another thing I see people complaining about is the ending and I get that but it makes sense. During the prologue Joel sings to Ellie before giving her the guitar. He states that " If I ever were to lose you. I'd surely lose myself." To me that is exactly what happened to Ellie. We see at the beginning of the story that Ellie is just trying to live a normal life the best she can. But, when Joel dies that world is shattered. When she deals with all the people that helped kill Joel you see she starts to break down because of some of the actions she took. Then we finally track down Abby again where we have our last fight. WHen she is about to kill Abby I believe when she sees Joel she realises that if she countinuess she will lose herself. She will be no better than Abby was. Risking her friends lives just to get revenge. When she returns to Her and Dinas farm, Dina and JJ are not there. She even tries to play the song Joel sang to her during the prologue but she is unable to since she lost her ring and pinky finger to Abby in their last fight. She truly did lose herself but she came back from it. Then we see Ellie put her guitar down and we see her walking away from the house from the window hopefully heading back to Jackson to possibly reunite with Dina and JJ. It makes sense that Ellie after everything finally realises that she did lose herself and now she is on a path to regain the person she once was. This ending to me made sense and was actually a fitting end to the story. This game was not perfect but, I don't believe it should receive all the hate it's getting. If you loved the first game I Highly Recommend that you get this game as well. This is definitely another top notch game by NaughtyDog.… Expand

A very dark and gritty extension to The Last of Us story that grips you the entire way through giving you so many questions that unravel and are answered as you play on. A bold choice for the franchise which I think really paid off. Gameplay is the same old last of us yet improved in every way, allowing you to freely explore the apocalyptic world as you so choose and discover memories of the oast. Personally I feel the game is better played yourself rather than watching a play through, but that's your choice. Been waiting a long time for this game and personally I'm happy with the result.… Expand

The characters are really well written, even if some aren’t as likeable as the first game. The dynamics between certain characters aren’t as strong as Joel and Ellie in the first game, but they are still enjoyable to watch and learn about. The flashbacks sprinkled throughout the game were what really sold the game to me. The first two hours of the game really set the mood for the rest of the game, because a lot of the game was painful to play through at points. And surprisingly I actually enjoyed playing as Abby and seeing the human sides of the people that you were after throughout the game. Even though I felt like as a player I spent a little bit too much time playing as Abby. Overall the game is not as bad as it was made out to be, by leaks and by the reviews, and the “agenda” that almost every negative review mentions isn’t as prominent as they cry about and is not a large factor in the game. The trans character is briefly touched on in one sentence and that’s all that’s mentioned of it, even though it was hinted at during gameplay. Also not a Naughty Dog dick rider, just loved the game.… Expand

The game play isn't too bad it has the odd issue with a few bugs. Though it was only released a few days ago. So, they may patch a few who knows at this point. As for the story it isn't that bad at all it makes sense some disbanded fireflies wanted Joel dead. For killing the only person who could make a vaccine and one of their fathers. It's a revenge mirror storyline in a way. If you look at the protagonist's team and antagonist's team. They, are very similar both driven by the same force. Cold hard revenge at any cost.Which in a way messes Ellie up a bit mentally after she kills the one woman at the aquarium place It really does mess her up.(she literally vomits on the floor). I would say it a very harsh story it makes you hate the antagonists then, almost understand them. It makes you see how revenge can be all consuming.

    this story is for patient. the ones who are willing to give it a chance, open their eyes and pay attention. and once they do they will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful, thrilling, cinematic experiences ever made. even if it's not perfect the highs definitely outweigh the lows. a true must have.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite what many “fans” of The Last of Us have been posting. It is plainly obvious that the majority of the negative reviews from gamers have been due to either, 1.) Homophobic ideals or 2.) They haven’t played the full game yet or just decided to hop on the band wagon for negativity. The story is amazing, yea it has a few minor flaws in it, but the response to it has been pointless and illogical. The graphics are absolutely stunning and the gameplay is nearly perfect. I have finished the game in its entirety 2 times as of writing this. No, I am not lying about that. I can just say that it is a very well crafted game that is deserving of the title and is a perfect follow up to the first game. Joel may have been killed very early on in the game, but, he also was well aware that after killing all of those Fireflies, people would try and kill him. He was clearly calm in his last few moments of life because he knew it was going to happen sooner or later. People are whining about how Ellie had no problem with killing all of the other people who were in Abby’s group but not Abby. She never intended to kill them, they attempted to fight back while being interrogated and Ellie defended herself. When Ellie finally confronted Abby in the end of the game, she came to the realization that Abby was in many ways just like her. I get that Joel died and I was pissed off about it, but as the game progressed I began to realize that Abby didn’t deserve to die and neither did any of her friends. So before anyone tries to write a negative review for this game, I highly reccomend you read this post in its entirety and for many people, I reccomend you actually play the game or at least finish playing it before you decide to trash talk it. I am glad I was smart enough that I didn’t get anything spoiled for me because unlike many people I chose to steer clear of any third-party info on The Last of Us Part II because I wanted to experience everything myself for the first time. So either, play this game or don’t buy it and stop posting unknowledgable reviews on a game that you have never even played. These developers worked hard to make this game and their work shows. The game is worth every penny in my opinion and I felt like it was nessicarry to post this review because I at least know what is going on and I have also played the game twice and have a better understanding of the story. I hate seeing the negativity towards great games like this because it is unwarranted and honestly it damages people’s reputation. So if you have been wanting to play this game and/or you aren’t sure if you should buy it or not, I can say that from my experience, it is worth the money. I can’t force anyone into buying it but I can let people know that I have enough time played on this game to make a fair review for this fantastic game. *Again* don’t look at every negative review and believe it, because, more often than not, the person reviewing the game has either not finished it or doesn’t even own the game to begin with.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't read this if you haven't played the game. SPOILER HEAVY! You've been warned.

    I stayed away from all the spoilers and had the opportunity to play this game the way Naughty Dog intended. This game first appears to be like any other cookie-cutter vengeance/revenge story, but it slowly morphs into a compelling narrative with deeper themes. In fact, the game analyzes the very nature of vengeance, itself, and examines what this type of mentality can do to those who seek it out. If you are looking for a cheap revenge story, look elsewhere. This game is going to be over your head and you won't leave with any sense of satisfaction as a result.

    Many people misunderstand the final fight with Abby and assume that Ellie forgives her. Honestly, the final fight (to me) has nothing to do with Abby. It is all about Ellie and how she is unable to let go of her own guilt and the things holding her still. Throughout the story, Ellie keeps tapping into a darkness inside of her (this is very evident in scenes like when she beats Nora for information). She is seeking vengeance at that point in the game, and much like Abby she is laser-focused on achieving that goal. It is not easy to play a character you love go through that.

    Playing as Abby in the second half of the game is not an attempt to make people care about her (in my opinion). Rather, it is meant to show what being obsessed with vengeance does to a person. And like it or not, if you were on board with killing Abby then you are kind of on board with killing Joel, too. It's the same type of vengeance, forcing a player to actually ask whether it matters who is right or wrong.

    In the end, I cared about Ellie. I didn't want her to seek vengeance because I watched what it did to Abby... Abby gives up a chance at a happy life with Owen and dedicates her life to finding her father's killer.

    In the same way, Ellie gives up her happy life with Dina. Why? Vengeance. The result? She loses everything she has... just like Abby. With that done, Ellie can find something to live for. So she leaves her last behind and she seems just that. Brilliant game!

    Ellie has to decide to let go. Her final memory with Joel is about trying to forgive him, a desire to start anew. Ellie wanted to work toward forgiving Joel for what he did at the end of the first game (robbing her death of purpose). In the sequel's final fight, Ellie doesn't have to forgive Abby. Abby is a ghost to her, a nothing... a shell of what she once hated. Maybe even a reflection of what she has become. And thinking of Joel saves her in the end. So how does Joel's death serve no purpose? It sounds like it has a profound purpose to me. Ellie has to make the conscious decision to let go---to release the nightmares that prevented her from moving on. She does that, in the end. She is a stronger character because of it. If she didn't make that choice, she would keep seeking out her demons, ignoring Joel's advice at the end of the first game to find things worth living for. Ellie's entire life has been spent living up to what other people chose for her. The fireflies wanted her to be a sacrifice to save humanity, so she trekked out to find them. Joel wanted her to be a second daughter, so she stayed with him. Dina wanted her to be a farm wife. Tommy wanted her to be a tool for vengeance. In this game, Ellie deals with all of those influences. Everything she touches goes sour. So she chooses to let go. In the end, she can start being her. She gets to choose that destiny. Explain how that isn't a fantastic ending?

    Finally, to address the topic of "Joel would never trust a stranger or let his guard down around one" and other such criticisms I keep hearing: At the end of the first game, Joel changes. Don't know if you all caught onto that or not, but he starts opening up about Sarah, starts making plans with Ellie and genuinely wants to put his past behind him. The idea that four years living in civilization and raising another daughter would have no effect on him or change his outlook is absurd. Ellie changed him in the first game. Why wouldn't she continue to have that effect for FOUR more years?

    Maybe, just maybe, try to approach the game with a reasoned open mind. You might enjoy what you find there. Then again, a lot of people were unwilling to give this game a fair shake from the start.

    Obviously, there are people who play the game and hate it. Not trying to say this game is perfect. It isn't. It's perfectly fine that not everyone enjoyed the game. But when a game gets THIS much criticism and is actually put together extremely well, one does have to wonder if maybe this title is just too ahead of its time and simply wasted on this generation? Sadly, I cannot dive into the criticisms of the game that I do have because of the nonsensical review bombing. So I will finish the review here. None of it's flaws detract from a beautifully crafted narrative.    … Expand

The most annoying aspect of gameplay was dumb NPC walking into youre position, little bugs especially in second part, maybye skill advancement tree coul'd be better .
    After that we've got sweetest possible graphics, abandoned buildings are new main character for me. Cool melee violence, finishers, most realistic blood pools ever ;) Couple of amazing sequences, few minibosses and one resident evil like big one which remains in memory. More open areas slots well onto fresher combat aproach. Loading times and technical part of the game also deserves an aplause. Overall gameplay is immersive.

    People are going into this game expecting it to be like TLOU, instead of it being a continuation of it. The story of the first game was great, and this sequel compliments that story and answers many questions left by the first game, whilst asking more too.

The story of the first game was great, and this sequel compliments that story and answers many questions left by the first game, whilst asking more too.

    Druckmann said it himself, the first game was about love, this game is about hate. In the world that was established in TLOU, we learn that anything can happen. We took many lives without question, lives that had so much story behind them, and complicated people with relationships.

    I don't know about you, but I get reminded of that in this game whenever I killed a Rattler, Seraphite or a Wolf. The companions of my kill would cry out their name, and I'd feel bad. Having the same thing happen to our main characters is a bold move, but makes sense in the world of The Last of Us. Plot Armour doesn't exist in this game, and I love that.

    We knew Ellie was going to be the playable protagonist of this game. Joel's death being the reason that Ellie embarks on a bloodthirsty mission for revenge, works so well as we know of their relationship and we get sucked into the tone of the game early on. As opposed to spending hours getting to know a new character Ellie is close to, then having them killed off to ignite Ellie. That just wouldn't make sense, and seem forced.

    Abby. At the start of the game, I hated her. At the end of the game, I didn't know who to root for. Part of me didn't want to support either character, but part of me didn't want either of them to die in the final showdown. Ellie and Abby have such a great parallel, they're very similar, but Abby is a bit more compassionate than Ellie.

    Abby spared Ellie's life twice, even after she murdered all of her friends. Sure, Abby has done some **** up things, but so has Ellie, and so did Joel. In the end, Ellie had to fight with herself to let Abby live, the same decision that Abby quickly made for Ellie's life when Lev intervened.

    Ellie learnt from Abby, I hope what helped Ellie realise that taking Abby's life wouldn't make her feel any better, was the flashback of her approaching Joel. We know after that scene, is where Ellie agrees to start trying to forgive Joel for what he did at the hospital. I believe sparing Abby is her first step to forgiveness. That is HUGE character development for Ellie. She didn't want to kill Abby in front of Lev, as that would just start the cycle again and parallel Joel getting killed in front of Ellie. 18 months had passed of Lev being with Abby, I guarantee they grew really close and Lev would hunt down Ellie if Abby had been killed by her.

    Ellie abandoning her life in the woods with Dina and J.J. to seek revenge one last time, to only grant mercy and forgiveness to Abby, things start to look up for Ellie's future.

    Next scene, she's lost 2 fingers that Abby bit. As a guitarist my immediate thought was **** those are her guitar fretting fingers.".

    Walking into the house we find it empty, I put off going into Ellie's room as I was hoping it would be empty too, that Dina took Ellie's stuff and is waiting for her back in Jackson. My heart sank when her room was full of her belongings and untouched, the guitar sitting there.

    I knew she wouldn't be able to play it, but I tried so damn hard to play the song that I knew she was going to play, the one Joel wrote for her. To Ellie, her guitar playing is the last thing that relates her to Joel, and that was stripped from the same person that took Ellie's life, but Ellie isn't angry any more. Even though she has lost everything, I think she realises it's because of her own choice and actions, that she's here now, and she accepts it. Monumental character arc, I cried.

    I saw someone rate this game 1/10 because the "girls are ugly." god, some world we live in. People complaining that a game is too political because it's a diverse game that deals with and represents people that exist in REAL LIFE. YES PEOPLE, THIS **** HAPPENS IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD. GAY PEOPLE, TRANSGENDER PEOPLE, YES THEY EXIST. The apocalypse doesn't stop that **** Please remove yourself from the gene pool if that's what makes you hate this game. Abby is ****in' built like a tank, and I wouldn't **** with her lol. If you're intimidated by a muscular woman, you have no dick.

    Story of this game? ****ing brilliant.

    World building and expanding from the first game : Outstanding.

    Character Development? Phenomenal.

    Gameplay and visuals? Did you play it? You already ****ing know it's all fantastic.

It starts with one of the most divisive choice which is killing an iconic character in a **** way imaginable. I was angry and frustrated with the game at that point with this decision. Nevertheless I continued to play game and character are just dying all around you and it got me more angry with this decision. Then i played another side with so much hate that i was constantly killing her intentionally to quench my thirst of anger. I continued on and same happens here characters are just dying. Then something clicked, its not the **** deaths that is happening, its the **** world that characters are living in. Every character either loving or hateful are living in this world where most of the humans know only one emotion, HATE. But there are moments in the game that tells us Love exists in this world. Now the most important part, Naughty Dog showed one thing if someone dies you love, you want revenge no matter the cost. And that's where ending sucked for everyone. It went from 6 or 7 to 0 for most people for the ending because they didn't get what they wanted for 25 hours.
    And I would like to congratulate ND for showing what hate means in real world. They showed us that people want revenge no matter the cost. I watched a lot of streams, every people was hating ABBY so much in first minute as we play her. They were no ready to see what she is. That blind hate killed everything for everyone. They just want to kill Abby no matter if she also lost her dad, friends, lover. At the end when she spared Dina, Ellie and don't want to fight because she has only one thing worth living, Lev. Joel killed Abby's dad and Ellie killed everyone Abby cared for. Now if we can forgive or try to forgive what Joel did, why cant Ellie do the same for Abby.
    This game is all about story telling like The Vanishing of Ethan Carter which is made more interactive by adding outstanding visuals, audio, animation, game play and acting.
    Don't get me wrong game has pacing issues because its longer and semi open world environment. Sometimes, it drags out a little bit. But at the end, if your anger for killing Joel has not died this was not for you.
    If you want me to rate the game on game parts, they are as follows
    1) Story: Pacing issues but liking or hating the overall story depends on your thinking about the term HATE.
    2) Visuals/Audio- Best Visuals on PS4 including animation and very solid sound and audio designs.
    3) Acting: Best Actors on game industry are in this game, Troy Baker, Ashley and Laura Bailey. There are no weakness on the acting aspects of the game.
    4) Characters: All of them are interesting and I would say at least try to give them a chance without hate.
    Last but not least, The Last of Us part 2 is my masterpiece in gaming. I welcome all the hate from other users and other users that going to hate them, because you know what it will continue and this is the **** world i live in.
    Thank you.    … Expand

To everyone who is complaining that essentially "elly is a woman" with progressively stupider lines of rationale especially those who complain about the desexualization of her appearance, go F yourselves. This is an incredible game with some of the best graphics I have ever seen. The lighting alone would get it to 5 stars especially in comparison with what is on the market in all other spheres. The gameplay is improved from the first game and in all ways it continues the tradition of being a masterful storytelling experience with a world colored as you walk through it. Yes, there is one early event which could have been done differently. However, this does not detract from the rest of the game. If you enjoy stealth games and the Last of Us, there is no reason that you cannot enjoy the Last of Us 2 full stop unless you are ostensibly a sexist pile of trash. I feel very strongly about this being a male who honestly does not give a **** which gender a character is as long as their story is intriguing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only thing better than this (incredibly realised, beautifully atmospheric and emotionally unforgiving) game, is reading the reviews left by wet flannels and right wing snowflakes.

    Your favourite character died in a dystopian future/zombie apocalypse game? I'm so sorry this piece of art moved you. Would you like me to hold your hand? Characters dying in a zombie survival game? How dare they?

    You don't like seeing strong/gay female characters in games? Did that really upset you? I would hate to break it to you, but if a video game upset you this much, you may just be the snowflake you're complaining about. Put the pad down and get back in the basement.

    This is an incredible game with gorgeous graphics, masterful voice acting and motion capture performances and challenging game play. We finally get a worthwhile single player game, just for edge-lord politicians to come out in droves to complain about it.

    If this game upset you, go watch an episode of Friends and calm down; you are probably too young to be playing this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a shame that the game has been review bombed (Largely by people that haven't played it) This is a phenomenal game, it truly feels like a next gen game before the new consoles are even out. The story, whilst divisive, painful and agonising, is incredible. Sure, some of us might have done some things differently, but on the whole it is excellent. If you are a fan of the first game you really need to play this, its a masterpiece.
    The ending with Joel and Ellie starting to reconcile, knowing that hes taken away from Ellie so soon after is heartbreaking, in the best way imaginable.    … Expand

And as a movie, cause its a game/film, not everyone is gonna like the end. We should celebrate the work and effort that the developers put in this game. And i’ll just say this, all the 0s shows what an small minded people can do with an internet connection, where in a zombie/infected world we cant see a girl kissing another girl.

    I found TLOU2's narrative to be the most exhilarating interactive storytelling I've experienced. A layered, morally confounding examination of the dangers of labeling people/groups as evil without full context, told through the guise of a revenge tale. Compelling characters, creative medium-specific storytelling, top notch presentation, passable gameplay with generally satisfying stealth and combat, and unfortunately the usual AAA "oh no the door is locked" padding that could certainly have been tightened up.

    I saw the first game as a brutal examination of morally gray actions and consequences, not once painting the protagonist as a hero or villain. I felt that the second ran with those ideas even more so. It builds upon the first game's themes in risky, powerful ways, but never upends the player's role in sorting through complex moral conundrum's for themselves.    … Expand

    Um jogo brilhante, mas que optou por algumas saídas fáceis no enredo. Motivo pelo qual não é um 10/10 pra mim.
    Ainda assim, tem uma história densa que explora a complexidade da personalidade e dos valores humanos. Gráficos incríveis, movimentação espetacular, expressão facial de personagens, trilha sonora... uma obra-prima dos jogos.

    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]
