    O jogo é incrível, uma obra de arte. Roteiro magnífico, uma das das histórias mais complexas e bem contadas da história dos vídeo games.

    this game doesn't do fan service, people hate it for that reason. Despite how angry and sad this game made me, I love it for exactly that reason.

    The story didn’t go how I expected, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The graphics are incredible and the gameplay doesn’t lose excitement throughout the 25+ hour campaign. A true masterpiece in my opinion.

    Historia no apta para gente inmadura y sin capacidad de empatía, pero una delicia si aceptas las reglas de juego de un verdadero mundo postapocaliptico, con supervivientes que son gente con matices , ni buenos ni malos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's been a really long year for everyone. What with COVID19 and all.. But I've waited even longer for this game to come out. And I just finished it. If a game is "supposed to be bad", why after 30 hours do I feel like I needed more? The story is masterfully crafted with very precisely calculated time jumps. 6 YEARs! That's how long it took them to make this game. 6 years! And I can't believe the sheer amount of hate it's received in only 48 hours since it's release, simply because it dared to do something different. So screw all of you who review bombed this game, because honestly, I absolutely loved the game from the start to finish. It doesn't affect the gameplay one bit that they're LGBTQ+ characters, so why should you care? I understand the toxic gaming community is butthurt about certain characters being killed off, but what did you expect was going to happen? That's it, I'm done. **** gamers and their overinflated egos.… Expand

    This game, what to I have to say? It's one of the best and most exciting experiences in my life. I never ever played a game like this and felt this feeling about a game. When Joel dies, you think that the game is destroyed, it's not worth playing anymore. But, trust me, you I'll get one of the best experience of your life. The Last Of Us Part 2 shows us that revenge is a fool's game. The Last Of Us Part 2 teaches us that there isn't a good guy or a bad guy, there are people, trying to survive and make the life worthy. If you ask me about the Gameplay, Music, Scenarios, Characters and all that stuff, you will get from me a ton of 10/10, the gameplay is like the first game, with some good improvements. The music by Gustavo Santaolalla is perfect and fits perfectly with the style of the game. Characters may not see quite "good" at first look, but, as the story is been told, you start to love and understand them. The graphics are astonishing, and probably the beautiful graphic of the generation. But, what really catches you is the story. At first you don't understand why to play with Abby, and you become very mad to play with Joel's murderer, but as the game continues, you start to see that Abby is like Joel, a person who is strong, and very mad with everything, and when Lev is introduced, Abby starts to change and become as Joel were in the ending of The Last Of Us. I cried so much when Ellie was trying to play Future Days without her fingers, and when Joel was trying to apologize with her and her was trying to sorry him. It's a very Must-Play game, and I'm sure to say that it I'll be the GOTY 2020. Play The Last Of Us Part 2 now.    … Expand

    Great game. Never think Neil Druckmann will be able to repeat high level of Last of us One. But he did it. Sadly, it lacks of well-developed characters from Last of us 1, but it is compensated by much much more deep story. 10/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I both love and hate this game. The gameplay gave me everything I’ve ever wanted from video game combat, its **** viceral and so intense that there were sections that actually left my hands shaking with Ellie’s. The graphics, art direction, animation, and acting performances are the very best I’ve ever seen in a game. But all of these masterfully crafted elements rely on one thing to make them all work - the writing. I was initially left incredibly dissapointed by the entire experience, but upon reflection and a second playthrough, I’ve realized that there is a lot of good in this story - most of it, in fact. *Spoilers* I have a lot of crtiticisms of the decision to have us play as a new character for half of the game. To put it simply, her actions had nothing to do with my disinterest in her story, my disinterest in her story is due to how interested they made me in Ellie’s story. I think what they did with Ellie’s character and her arc was beautiful and honest, and I loved every second I spent with her. With Abby, I didn’t feel hate - I felt nothing. I felt disconnected with her character and with her companions. This meant I was disconnected with everything else too. I virtually checked out for ten hours of this game because I was desperate to get back to the character I have gotten to know and slowly understand over the last seven years through what adds up to about 30 hours of gameplay, plus a comic book. I understood Abby and her motivations, but I simply couldn’t get myself invested in her story, because the excellent writing had made me too invested in Ellie’s. Overall, this game is an outstanding achievement and I cannot express how incredible it is to see such great representation through complex, nuanced, and flawed lesbian lead character. The ten hour Abby detour just didn’t work for me, but that’s just me, and there will be many who will find Abby’s inclusion a wonderful experience.… Expand

    Minha gameplay durou por volta de 25 horas, acredito que em mais 2 horas e uma nova gameplay para platina.
    O game aborda em seu enredo temas que ainda incomoda muitas pessoas por falta de instrução familiar, ou apenas pre-conceito mesmo.
    Cada minuto da minha experiência o enredo me envolvia, nenhum minuto o game se tornou cansativo.
    É emocionante e também te deixa dividido no que achar ou que lado tomar.
    este é um game que te da um misto de emoções, alegria, medo, ódio, empatia e muitos outros.
    seu final não é algo que te deixa a vontade, nao é um final feliz como o primeiro, mas te proporciona um prazer em saber que existem dois lados e nenhum ganha, onde a vingança toma tudo. percebi um grande hate sobre a abby e sua maça corporal, ao meu ver isso foi totalmente premeditado, para o final ser impactante.

    After playing Part 1, my entire viewpoint on video game narratives changed forever. I've always been the kind of guy that liked, puzzles, shooting, and SFX. But all that changed when I experienced the first game.

    After seven years of waiting for the second game, I can safely say that TLoUP2 exceeded all expectations I could have ever accumulated in all that time I waited.

    The story takes you for the wildest emotional ride you never thought you could get from a video game. Where Part 2 walked, Part 2 ran. The devs at ND made some INSANE choices that only made me respect their work even more. With bold twists and turns at every corner, you can never be more than two steps ahead in the plot. This story is going to change the way I see games just like the first one did.

    The game-play is riveting as one could expect. There are a lot more options when facing enemy encounters, keeping you on the edge of your seat and the brim of your mind. Nothing is more satisfying than getting though dozens of enemy without taking a single bullet.

    I wasn't spoiled by leaks(fortunately), and it seems like the ones that were and still complain about the game seem close-minded and/or they haven't played the game. Love is love, there's passion in the little things, and this game, when played, will give you an outlook you never knew you could possess.    … Expand

    The Last of Us is quite possibly my favorite game of all time. I have been playing video games my entire life but have always been drawn to games with a message or a story to tell.

I have been playing video games my entire life but have always been drawn to games with a message or a story to tell. When I first saw the trailer for TLOU years ago, I thought to myself, “they’ve finally made a game for me”, in the sense that, here’s a game with a grounded and brutal story with what seemed to be a fantastic script and fully realized characters. As a huge film fan, this was extremely exciting news. In the final moments of TLOU, when Ellie mutters “...Okay” and it cuts to black, I knew that I had just experienced something game changing, for the video game industry and pop culture in general. I have been anticipating this game (Part 2) ever since I put that DualShock 3 down and stared in awe at the credits, contemplating the morally gray decision Joel had just made. It’s a damn shame moments from this game were leaked. I tried to go in blind but no matter how hard I tried, there was always some dingus posting unfunny memes in an attempt to “troll” whoever they could. This game is so much more than those out of context moments. This game makes you reconsider everything you have experienced and learned from Part 1. From it’s shocking beginning to it’s heartbreaking ending, this game is pure art, through and through. The attention to detail is downright astounding and the gameplay hooked me so much, I checked my clock and 7 hours had gone by in an instant. Although, these aspects aside, we all know where the divisiveness really comes from, its story. Personally, I loved it. I beat the game about 4 or 5 days ago now, I’m already on my new game plus on Survivor, and eventually will be going for the plat, but no game has stuck with me this long. The story has burrowed its way into my mind and I haven’t been able to get it out. When I initially finished it, I was confused, hunting for meaning in it all. After sitting and contemplating, I believe it to be one of the best stories I have ever experienced through the medium of video game. In a world of cookie cutter stories, spoon feeding us the things we want because we know they will make us feel good, Naughty Dog has dared to pull a move and challenge its audience. At first, I was extremely apprehensive, “Why are they doing this? What is the point?” But after the credits rolled, it all made sense to me. I appreciate when something differs from the norm and oh boy did this do that. If you haven’t played the game, go in with an open mind, ignore the leaks, and just give it a chance. If you still genuinely don’t like it (for non-bull**** reasons) then there you go, but you may be surprised how you feel when you let go of your pre conceived notions. This game isn’t perfect though, I do think there are some pacing issues but other than that, I see no other glaring problems. This game will challenge you and your expectations, let it and embrace it. For me this is a phenomenal achievement and I’m so happy to have played it day one and own a copy. This will go down in the history books of gaming whether for good reasons or bad. There is so much more I would love to discuss but I wanted to keep this spoiler free so those on the fence or those who just haven’t had the means to play it yet could read this. I’ll sum it up with this, I loved all of the characters, even if it took me a few hours to understand certain things, I thought the ending was damn perfect and got a few tears out of this old cynic (along with many other moments throughout), and finally, the story was exactly what it needed to be, every bump along the way made perfect sense in this brutal and violent world. Please play this game, I couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you.… Expand

Many of the reviews you are seeing here are posted in bad faith by people who haven't actually played/finished the game and are reacting to a bullet point list of the events. But a list of events is not a story, and I believe if many of these reviewers experienced the story, they would feel differently. It is a difficult game. It takes place in a brutal world and things happen that you may not want to happen. The gameplay is exceptional and tense, and the graphics are as close to photo-real as this generation will get. I was completely riveted by the game from beginning to end, and look forward to one day playing it again. I took a point off because, after a certain point, the misery of it all is laid on a bit thick and it can be a bit of a struggle to carry on. I feel like they went a little too far on making the point they want to make, but that's subjective and you may find you don't have a problem with it.

    My only complaint is the pacing. Brace yourself for a long game with people averaging around 25 to 30 hours.

    This is one of the best games I have ever played with the most tense story I've ever experienced in a video game.

If you like realistic stories told without pandering to an audience's expectations, whims, and/or desires, this game is perfect.

    The only small complaints I have with this game, which I also have with the first game, is the way the way it tries to force jump scares. Both this game and the first have a "listening" ability, which outlines creatures, and an ability to throw a bottle or brick to make noise. For whatever reason, the listening ability will frequently not show enemies that are actually there in order for the game to "get you" with a jump scare. These scares feel very cheap and, to stress, this is also the biggest flaw of the first game. If you didn't mind it in the first game, you won't mind it now. Just know, if you're not the best with scary games, that may be an issue.

    Besides that small issue, this is the prettiest game I've ever played with some of the best performances and one of the best stories I've ever consumed. Absolutely recommended.    … Expand

    Ellie completely lost her mental health and we see an Ellie with serious problems of post-traumatic stress and attacks of anger.
    Dina and Ellie's relationship is only there as filler for the story but it was really somethin0g unnecessary, I'm not homophobic but forced inclusion in an apocalypse is something "wtf?The only characters that were worth meeting in this installment were Lev and Yara. Nice detail in adding a very strict religious sect, in an apocalypse the church would still be powerful and manipulative. The gameplay is satisfying and makes your heart beat every time you die or survive the attack, nice detail in adding dogs and enemies like the Final boss. On this occasion Gustavo was also magnificent with his soundtrack. Love the game but it is not a masterpiece like the first . Thanks Naughty Dog. Sorry for my bad inglish.    … Expand

    Having not played the first game I’m aware my opinion is a lot more objective to this game than what many fans of the original would have expected this game to be. I’m currently playing through the first Last of Us and having already connected with Elli and Joel’s growing bond, I can absolutely see why this game would at the very least confuse people and also leave people disappointed andHaving not played the first game I’m aware my opinion is a lot more objective to this game than what many fans of the original would have expected this game to be. I’m currently playing through the first Last of Us and having already connected with Elli and Joel’s growing bond, I can absolutely see why this game would at the very least confuse people and also leave people disappointed and annoyed by the fact that you need to play as Abby for the majority of the second half of the game. Firstly, I think the one aspect of the game that many people can agree with is the amazing visuals. The game looks incredible, it’s some serious Red Dead scenery sometimes and it’s able to capture the many set pieces of a dying and overgrown world (but that’s supposed to be the Cheesecake Factory!). The visuals also allow for some of the best and most realistic performances from the mocap actors. Another aspect of the game is the combat. Oh lord, there are moments where of course I’m elated at sweeping a room full of stupid whistling idiots but then when I shoot someone and they start screaming for their life I don’t feel as good. The combat really drains you, I’ve never wanted cut scenes to appear more in my life just so I could take a break. The areas where you need to fight are really wide open and can sometimes be really daunting. It really makes you consider all your options and my god is it tense. BUT! The story. From my point of view having not been previously immersed into this world and with no expectation from previous experiences with the first game I thought the story was pretty good. It’s nothing masterful and there’s some bad pacing issues in the first half of the game, however, overall I think there’s a key message that is effectively communicated as the game goes on. I was engaged by the characters, I was sucked into the chemistry between Elli and Dina and as for Abby, well don’t tell anyone I said this okay, but I think she’s a really well done character and the game really picks up when you play as her. I’ve seen this with Pewdiepie and some other people I’ve either talked to or watched saying that they would have really enjoyed Abby if they played as her first. That makes sense and it would eliminate the disdain people had towards her, but I’m not sure the story is as effective if that’s the case. There’s a spoilercast episode where Neil Druckman (the guy who people seem to forget made Uncharted 1-4 and TLOU1) talks about how when the plot leaked and the big moment of the story was revealed all of a sudden it was seen by the audience with no context. It was interesting to hear him say that all of a sudden instead of it being a decision for the story it was just a decision and people had made their minds up before even playing it. Having said that many people who didn’t see any of the leaks shared the same opinion of being annoyed and disappointed. So overall, I really enjoyed The Last of Us Part 2. I was immersed in the story and it kept me on edge. There’s some great cinematic moments that look amazing with the visuals and I think even though it’s caused such an upset, I think that’s somewhat the point. I don’t think there’d be many games out today that would make the bold choices this game does, and I really respect that. For me it pays off. The game probably lives somewhere in between all the hysteria it’s created. It’s not some pandering LGBT marketing ploy and it’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a game that caused discussion and kept me thinking about it well after playing it. There’s a lot more good than bad and I think it’s really worth playing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest I’m a little conflicted. I would’ve been okay if the game ended at the farm chapter. I think Ellie got her wake up call a little too late. Killing Abby wouldn’t bring back Joel. Also killing Joel wouldn’t bring back any of the fireflies. The game was brutal, it really slapped me in the face numerous times. Both Abby and Ellie lost the light, they were driven by revenge and anger that got the best of them. Ellie’s biggest fear became true. Being all alone, left by the people who she loves the most. The very end when she dropped the guitar was really poetic- I felt like it was her way of saying goodbye to Joel and the revenge path that she had chosen.I hope she gets back at Jackson and stays with the good memories she created with him. I overall enjoyed the game, I liked the flashbacks, the new combat system, the freedom of exploring buildings ,the new upgrading system. The graphics are just amazing. The soundtrack is great.I appreciate everyone that put their soul into making this game.… Expand

I was kind of conflicted at first on how to feel about this game but rethinking it and letting it sit for a while helped me better understand the game. I will probably never play this game all the way through again but instead revisit some of my favorite parts from the game. I thought the ending with the Joel flashback was very touching and moving and honestly brought me to tears. The gameplay was even better than the first one due to new mechanics and puzzle solving segments that made the game feel fresh and the side missions were a nice add on to the game For an example I loved the music shop scene where Ellie sings take on me I thought that was a very good scene and very moving. This game was meant to be sad, Emotional and moving. I think this game told a good story but however lacked certain things like good pacing, a mediocre timeline with way too many flashbacks and Upon other things. The best moment in the game was when Joel said “I would do it all over again” referring to saving Ellie which was the right thing to do that’s just my perspective however and it’s a big however I didn’t like Ellie ending up alone and the third one not being planned could leave so many possibilities open and could potentially ruin it however I hope not. One of the last things I wanted to touch on was the beautiful soundtrack from Gustavo just like the first one was very badass and definitely help set certain tones for this game. Things that need to be done though are-

    1.drop the Abby storyline for the next sequel
    2.PLEASE let Ellie have a happy ending in the next game and let her move on but still remember Joel
    3.continue the story in Jackson with Ellie returning.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok where do I even begin with this brilliant game.

    First of all, the people who put bad reviews are just idiots who probably like spongebob games (and yes someone who wrote a bad review gave a SPONGEBOB GAME AN 8). This game is probably the GREATEST GAME IN THE WORLD. I love how they killed Joel quickly, not because I dont like Joel but it just makes the story interesting. And another review I saw said “Before they kill Joel they need to give Abby some backstory so that we understand why” but I love how they didnt, they made it so that you hate Abby at first then realise after the flashbacks Abby has a reason to. And its cool how they killed of so many people so then you get sad a lot which makes sense why? Because its a zombie apocalypse game. I hate to break it to you but in a zombie apocalypse lots of people die. So if your angry by that then you probably like disney endings. The ending is amazing, Ellie letting Abby live, Ellie getting back to the farmhouse and soooo much more. The whole story is amazing and you always want to play more. And it makes you realise, Abby isnt evil shes nice. Sure she killed Joel in a horrible way but when you play as Abby again she says she regrets it! Another thing I love is when Abbys foot is on Tommys head it makes you wait to see what happens. And the Rat King is terrifying but cool, im so happy they added a new infected thats super scary. And shamblers are epic they arent as strong as bloaters but they’re so cool. If you dont like tlou 2 then your a weirdo who thinks everything is PC. I feel bad for Naughty Dog how they got so many bad reviews and I hope the average score goes up and i know it will.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's sad to see that we live in a generation of people so entitled to their own feelings, most people who are rating this game 0 are review bombing for some reason or are just like " this game didn't make me feel like I wanted to feel". What a great generation we live in. I understand that some people don’t like some aspect of the game or the story but to rate this masterpiece a zero is dishonest.
    I don't even need to argue about the graphics animation and gameplay it's one of the best that we’ve ever got period. God of war is the only close contender that I can think of.
    Story wise this game is as honest and real as it can get, it’s not without flaws but it's a bit of really needed fresh air in the superhero era where every story is like " we are the good guys and we need to kill the bad guys". There are no good guys in this story, just humans trying to survive and adapt in a very dark world. Even in the first game after the first tragedy he encounters, Joel becomes this smuggler who used people and killed people who crossed him, but we grew to love him after understanding the kind of world he lives in, after seeing his human side show up again in his relationship with Ellie, and how she changed him. The choice he had to make at the end of the first game was very hard and he choose the most selfish option, which is understandable knowing what he’s been through but still, it's a happy ending for him, not for Ellie who lost the purpose in life that her immunity gave her, not the fireflies, and all of humanity. And that's the whole point of the death of Joel. in a real world you can't have a happy ending at any cost, because the decisions you make are going to come back and hunt you, It’s a real story and just because you love a character doesn’t mean he can condemn all of humanity and go unpunished, and that’s where the brilliance of the second game begins.
    After Joel death, the player is embarked in this emotional journey where in the beginning as Ellie you start to hate the group of people that killed him, I couldn’t wait as a player to kill all of them specially Abby, because I loved Joel and the cruel way in which they killed him, especially after seeing how much he grew to love Ellie, all of the flashbacks, made the grief of losing him as a character even more strong and made you feel the exact same way Ellie felt. Thus all the killing and the obsession about revenge were justified. Until this point the story was very mainstream, an old fashion revenge story and we had a million of those.
    Then we get to Play as Abby, at first I hated it, why would I have to play as the person who killed someone I cared about, but the further I got into her story the more I started to realise that she had as much right to kill Joel as Ellie has the right to kill Abby, she lost her father who was trying to save humanity, and as consequence of Joel decision not to lose Ellie she lost all her world and found herself forced to adapt in a war between two factions and we can see that her and Owen regret what they’ve become for the sake of survival, after that the story puts her in a journey to atone for her sins and regain her humanity, and that’s what Lev and Yara represents to her and why she puts so much importance into saving them , because they are the ones who saved her life when she was dying and they are the ones who are going to save her humanity when she almost lost it. This is where Me as a player stood corrected and felt guilt for hating her without knowing her story . why people hated her part is beyond Me, it’s what made the story special and what made the experience of the game different than any other game I’ve played. That’s the beauty of it it’s supposed to show you how right and wrong are relative to everyone perspective, and not just by telling you so but making you experience the emotions the characters went through.
    Then comes the epilogue in Santa Barbara, this part of the game felt a little bit rushed, it’s understandable because the game was already getting long, maybe they could’ve cut some of the Seattle part to invest more in this. Abby’s and lev’s abduction by the Rattlers added nothing to their story, apart from giving Ellie a reason to feel sorry for them and add a little weight to the decision of letting Abby live which I think they did a poor job at explaining. I understand that she remembered the night she forgave Joel and she understood that’s she’s capable of showing mercy and that’s why she forgave her the same way she forgave Joel but I would’ve loved for Ellie to know Abby’s side of the story, or involve Lev in the decision of mercy but maybe they are letting this for Part 3.
    I salute ND for having the guts to do the right thing, stayed true to the spirit of the world they created, people who don’t like this TLOU2 missed the point of the first game. It was not about two heroes it was about survival in a dark world    … Expand

To balance out at least one reviewer who gave the game a 0 out of 10.
    My real rating would be between 6 and 7, I think. This game in no way is a perfect 10, not even close. But it is still closer to a 10 than a zero, and zero is a ridiculous rating. Those who give it a zero have never played a truly horrible game. I respect that many people felt betrayed because of what happens at the beginning of the game, but I also feel like people have to try and be fair in their rating, not just rating the game at zero because of that one thing that made them see red (even though I admit that that part was a big deal, and something I think they should not have done).
    I played the first game on PS3 and loved. One of my all time favorite games. I would rate that game between 9 and 10.
    The weakest link for me in The Last of Us 2 is the story. I would call it "Meh...", and did certain parts piss me off? Yes. There is one part that pisses me off, which is also the event that sets up the entire rest of the story in the game. And I believe this part is one of the biggest reason for people rating the game at zero.
    But beyond that part, the story to me is just... Fine. It's not great, it's not horrible, it's just fine.
    I also feel like there are two endings to the game (those who have played it know what I mean), and I feel like the game should have ended at the first ending. Everything after that seems like a waste of time which really doesn't add anything to the story and doesn't give the player any better closure.
    I had a lot of fun playing the game itself, even though some things became a bit repetitive after playing the game for a few hours.
    The game is also very good looking, beautiful I would even say.
    In conclusion:
    The game for me is between 6 and 7 out of 10. I hated the part that set up the rest of the story, but I am still trying to evaluate the game not only from that one part, but the game as a whole. That may seem hard since the whole game is based on that one big moment in the game, what I call "The Game of Thrones syndrome", where any character can die at any moment. After GOT it seemed to be in style to copy that, shocking people by sweeping the rug from under their feet. This is the biggest fail Naughty Dog did, I think. Was it shocking? Yes. But I still feel like it was nowhere near worth it. I rather would have liked to see them make a great continuation to the first game. I know that if they would have done that, then the user rating would be close to a 9 out of 10.    … Expand

    This game was everything that I hoped it would be. The story may not have been what I expected, but it took me in unexpected directions that were amazing on their own. There is a lot of nuance in the game and in its intertwined story. The voice acting is award worthy. 10/10, for sure.

This is the perfect example of how a very scripted game can still give a player a lot of freedom, there are countless ways to beat the same areas, and the game really challenges you to think creatively and make your way though the game as efficiently as possible by giving you very limited resources. I usually hate it when a game limits a player to make place for its story, but it's handled so well here that it really doesn't remove any of the flow in the gameplay. Also, this story is absolutely amazing, it really puts the story of the first game in a whole different perspective, it's incredible how it can make you rethink everything you've done through the game. There has never been a story that has made such an impact on me, for this reason I won't go any more in depth, I don't want to spoil anything because this really is something you have to experience yourself.… Expand

    After playing thr first game again and then coming to the second it was great to see as Ellie grew and learned to fight like Joel and become a great successor to the beloved character. After the death of Joel I didn't know what to expect but it was a good plot twist as its unexpected. Then, when you play Abby you start off hating her but the more you get to know her side of things and the motivations of her character you really begin to like her. Character development, story, gameplay and graphics are all amazing. Pick it up if you feel like it but if you don't you'd definitely be missing out.    … Expand

    This game treats their characters like real people. Messy, complicated and beautifully human. It's different than it's predecessor in that displays a wider range of human emotion and thought. It doesn't take a big brain or high intellect to understand the characters motivations. Just empathy.

    I can talk for hours about why this game is so good, but it all comes down to one simple thing. The Last Of Us Part 2 grants the strongest emotional attachment to every single thing that happens on screen and the in game consequences hit you right in the heart. It is nothing like the first game and I see at as its most beneficial trait.
    TLOU2 is complex, dramatic, very violent, overwhelmingly grim, and dark gaming experience. You will not feel good after completing this thing but there will be some twisted sense of catharsis that will knock you of the rails and turn this 40+ hours game into something else than just an entertainment.    … Expand

In its story the game suffers from pacing issues in the second act, but takes it back with an intense 3rd act and an act 1 that really benefits from Dina and Eliies chemistry. The game made me feel really tense physically a couple of times and that's honestly amazing. Stories that actually wanna say something are more important now than ever and I want to commend the ambition of everyone involved in this project. I hope we get many more like this. The dislike for it leaves me wondering if people ever understood part 1, and i hope that projects of similar scope get a chance despite the reaction of a lot of "gamers". Im also going to mention that having PoC characters and trans characters in your game is a good thing and if the inclusion of people from diverse backgrounds is a reason for your disliking the game your opinion is invalid. People are indeed different. Before i close i want to briefly mention the acting, which is once again excellent, like it was in part 1. Play the last of us 2, you will not be disappointed.… Expand

    It is, however, a very obviously divisive game. There are many who do not appreciate the story being told by Naughty Dog, who would instead prefer a story that is so frequently told by many. Instead, we get something different. A compelling, heart-wrenching story with brilliant character design.

    However, the game does have issues with pacing. It is perhaps clear that many complaints voiced could have been resolved if simple changes to the story’s structure were made. Make the flashbacks the start of the game. Introduce Abby and her backstory first, leading up to *that* event. Give the player to experience Ellie and Joel. Then, and only then, do we go further. If such changes were made, many of the “plot hole” concerns or issues with the flow could be resolved.

    This is, ultimately, Naughty Dog’s game. Their vision. Their story. It is not ours to dictate. Just because we do not like the way it went, does not make a game bad. It does have issues, but it is, overall, a truly exceptional game.

    Well done, Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished my first playthrough yesterday and I think, I just finished the best game ever made.
    This game is exactly the way a videogame for adults should look like because ...

    We all know the graphics and performance are unreached and show how much work and passion Naughty Dog has put into this.

    About the story ... I don't get it guys. I don't undetstand how any of you could hate this story. Its authentic, its intense and emotional and here is why ...

    Some people say Ellie changed in a way many fans didn't like. Okay .... how would you turn out dealing with all this **** ? Growing up in a QZ ruled by violence and corruption ? Losing your first love ? Be overwhelmed with this situation about her immunity ? Seeing people getting killed daily and finally watching the only person dying who ever has been a Dad for her ? How could Ellie still be that girl who's joking and laughing ?

    Same with Abby ... when I saw her killing Joel, I was shocked like every single person. But I knew there has to be more. Something must've happened years ago ... I gave her that chance, like everybody should do even in real life. You dont know what that person have been through, who she lost. In the end there was no difference between these two women. They were broken, they were hurt so badly ...

    And how the writers of this journey told this story was unlike anything else.
    As more I played with Abby, the more I liked her, because she cared, she loved, she even showed mercy to the girl who killed all of her friends ... With Abby they made a great character who I'd love to see in another game someday ...

    So I'd like to thank everyone involved in making this game. Thanks to Neil Druckmann, thanks to the actors, especially Ashley Johnson, who did another outstanding job with Ellie. Thanks to everyone who gave this game a chance and enjoyed it as much as I did. This is a 10/10 wether you like it or not ....    … 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...
