    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So... on TLoU 1 we become very attached to the main characters, after all, we lived what they lived, we grew with them, we felt sorry for them, we became attached. But stop and think about what happened. In the end, Joel killed Abby's father, which was also the only person that could develop a cure. Not only he doomed the entire human race, to save Ellie, but he killed an innocent girl's father. We feel that it's justifiable because we care about both Ellie and Joel. When Abby did what she did on TLoU Part II, we got naturally angry at her, and wanted her dead. That's exactly how Abby felt, when Joel killed her father, she did exactly what we would've done in her situation - killed the person that killed her father - and we hated her for that. So people hate this game because a girl got to kill the person that killed her father, while the one that they care about was the better person and manage to forgive and release herself from all the hate she had in herself.… Expand

    A leap in video game storytelling, breathtaking graphics and score, extremly fun gameplay and level design. My only critic is of the tree skill, while still good but not groundbreaking as other elements of the game.

    A modern classic masterpiece that brings the morality complexity that exists in the real life to a video game. Unfortunately, a complexity that a lot of players failed to even try to understand and outcried at the lack of fan service. Naughty Dog's biggest mistake was to overestimate their audience.

    O jogo está fantástico. A história pode não agradar a todos, mas nada que diminua essa obra de arte da Naughty Dog. A platina que poderia ser mais difícil, talvez um troféu de dificuldade.

    Pra mim eu achei execução da morte do Joel ruim, mas a sensação que me dá, do Joel morrendo na sua frente, me lembrou muito a morte do Glenn no The Walking Dead, foi uma surpresa e foi pesado. E é nisso que tá incrível desse jogo. Passar a realidade pós apocalíptica.

E é nisso que tá incrível desse jogo. Passar a realidade pós apocalíptica.

    Não teríamos o Part 2 da forma como foi retratado se a Ellie não tivesse tanto apego pelo Joel assim.
    Se ele morresse por uma pessoa qualquer ou um infectado, eu não acho que ela teria ido se vingar, SE, e SE mesmo, ele morresse antes de ficar doente e a Ellie cuidando dele no inverno no 1, acho que ali foi o ponto chave pra eles serem pai e filha realmente. Principalmente com o Joel se curando e indo atrás da Ellie que foi raptado por aquele maníaco (esqueci o nome do cara do inverno no 1).

    Pra mim, se sou o Joel, levaria a Ellie pro Tommy na 1° vez que chegaram em Jackson ainda no 1 e teria ficado com ela lá e fim do The Last 1. E isso pode não tá certo na cabeça de um monte gente por ela ser a cura, mas era o que eu faria se eu fosse o Joel, com a história de vida dele.

    Acho que foi muito bem roteirizado, talvez mudasse um pouco na morte do Joel ou A Ellie largar a nova vida dela com a Dina e o filho dela na fazenda que elas tanto queriam (Já teve a chance de matar a Abby, vai largar a vida tranquila só pra matar uma pessoa, esquece, acabou a chance). O Tommy tbm vim com a notícia de uma mulher na Califórnia e a Ellie ir largando tudo ... isso eu não gostei muito. Uma coisa ou outra, mas pra mim é um jogo épico que vai marcar história. Muitos se lembraram desse jogo por décadas.

    Acho que não tem nenhuma lacração nesse jogo. Eu acho totalmente normal a Ellie ser lésbica, a Dina ser Bi, a Ally ser toda musculosa e o Lev ser Lilly, mas ele achar que é Lev. O problema é as pessoas não acharem normal, porquê infelizmente a sociedade coloca ''padrões'', esteriótipos e quem é diferente desse padrão tá errado.
    É por causa desse pensamento que há muito bullyng e violência com quem não é hétero ''padrozinado''.
    Qual o problema em ser assim? Pra aqueles que se sentem menos homem por causa delas, tem que começar a rever seus conceitos.
    Muitas mulheres são assim como as 4 e com toda certeza a hora que explodir de verdade pra toda a humanidade a história desse jogo, elas se sentirão muito bem e felizes de FINALMENTE serem bem representadas e isso pra mim é muito importante. Por exemplo, eu sou um nerd e eu me sinto representado pelo o Homem Aranha, que é cara que não é musculoso, mas é um herói incrível, inteligente, que a mina se apaixona por ele ser um cara bom, inteligente, não por ele ser o herói que é (a Mary Jane). E isso é muito bom e importante pra mim, porquê tem muita gente que é valentão, que acha que sempre o fortão, ser o cara que sai pegando todas, que tem lábia, que se dá bem e tudo mais e isso não é verdade. Já peguei mina pra cacete, e só porquê sou um cara bom, legal e inteligente. Essa é a minha opinião.

    Se eu fosse a Ellie, percebendo que a vingança com a Abby não vale mais a pena, porquê ela pagou o preço com a morte do pai dela. E que isso gerou a morte do Jesse e a quase morte do Tommy, da Dina e do bebê dela. Depois de eu ter matado todos os amigos da Abby. Pra mim, não me faria ir atrás da Abby. Eu mesmo mandaria o Tommy ir embora, esquecer essa história e ter uma vida boa e normal com a minha esposa e filho.

    Enfim, o jogo é sobre pessoas e suas escolhas, teria algumas escolhas diferentes deles? Sim teria algumas diferente, e essas minhas escolhas gerariam outras consequências boas e ruins, como é na nossa vida. São essas escolhas de cada personagem que fazem você ficar bem imersivo, bem triste e chateado em alguns momentos com as situações e faz com que esse jogo seja incrível, único e marcante na história dos vídeo games.    … Expand

    The game's story is not what you expect of and probably not what you want. It will make you cry, suffer and be devastated. But it works. Best gameplay, great combats, scenary and graphics, The Last of Us Part 2 is a message about the consequences revenge and hate demands. It speaks to our curreent society, where hate is spread everywhere.

And the gameplay was extremely fun as ellie and abby im really hoping for a multiplayer game. I might even say game of the generation, well done naughty dog thank you for an unforgettable experience.

    The games story did an excellent job in bringing out my emotions such as: hate, anger, sadness and shock. "The Last of us part 2" is not a story where everything turns out fine in the end,and you feel happy finishing it. It rather leaves us contemplating the moral decisions we play throughout the game, and if our actions were truly justified.
    One of my highlights of the game was how it made me think. There were a lot of moments in the game, where i found myself speechless and made me question my own morals, and how it would reflect if i was in that world. It emphasizes on the fact that there are no "good vs bad" in life, we're all just people trying to survive, but we are also "people" who make questionable decisions and moral choices, and the characters in "The Last of us part 2" are no different from that.
    Game play wise, i feel that the gun play is the most unique out of any of "Naughty Dog" game, on how the Guns feel, look and sound realistic. The Guns feel heavy and damaged, contrasting itself to the games characters Themselves. The Stealth feels like the original "Last of us",but with more variety on how i would play with the NPC's, but at the same time more tense. Often found myself contemplating if i should use my supplies i recently found to make a med kit, or to rather make a Molotov. The decisions you make will accompany your play style.
    I personally loved the "skill points" in this game, even though it's similar to the original "last of us", the skills are more grounded and avoided what i feel like most games do. Often times with skill points, i feel like you'd buy a skill just to get to another one, and never use the original one you bought. I found myself finding every skill worth using in my first play through.
    My only negative in the game is the enemy Variety, throughout my play through, i found myself bored with the enemies. There's only a handful of different human enemies, and they all can virtually be taken out the same way you would a basic enemy with a pistol. The infected, i felt were unfortunately the most boring. Most level designs were runners and clickers, occupying the same space, with the occasional Shambler to make it more tense, and often times left me hoping for more enemy variety which the game lacks on.

    "The Last of us Part 2" was an emotional journey, with some of the best game play and story telling i have seen from"Naughty Dog", but unfortunately lacks in enemy variety. it's an amazing game worthy of it's predecessor, and a game that's meant to open conversations about moral choices in life. already looking forward to my next play through.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know why people hate this game.
    I've spent my own money and I won't regret it. The gameplay is very interesting. Added as new types of enemies, like dogs or stalkers, and new mechanics, such as masking lying in the bushes and crawling under cars. The game is interesting to play, as you can find a large number of solutions to a particular situation. At high levels of complexity, there is a huge lack of resources, and because of this, you have to be smart to pass the location. The graph impresses with its detail and beauty. Yes, the game has a subtext that I would not like to see, but it does not spoil the dignity of this game. At the beginning of the game, Joel's death shows all the cruelty of the world described in the game. Yes, it would be possible to bring out such an important character in a different, more heroic way, but then both the player and Ellie did not feel that hatred for the character's killers. The ending is also quite logical. Ellie didn't kill Abby, because she saw her and Levi as Joel and herself. She didn't forgive the killer of the person she loved, but she couldn't act like a monster either. Trying to take revenge and succumb to anger, she lost something that was so dear to her. I think Ellie's story is interesting and logical, but not Abby's. This character weak cursing helps two Seraphicum, with the tribe which she fought for a long time and have not experienced sageline to them.
    As a player who really liked the relationship between Joel and Ellie in the first part of the game, I also lacked the depth of the relationship between the characters. It is difficult to feel both the connection between Dina and Ellie, and the relationship between Abby and her friends, but still there is a relationship sometimes you start to worry about the characters, but this would like to see more often.
    Bottom line: I liked the game, and I don't understand the hatred surrounding it.    … Expand

After playing through about 15 hrs, I didn't hate it, but it didn't think it was amazing. After finishing everything but the prologue, I thought it was a decent game, but disliked it. After finally finishing the game fully, I absolutely love it.
    It is not perfect, it has lots of flaws in pacing, in the non linearity, in some plot issues, but the ending landed amazingly. After getting control with Ellie again in the prologue, I could not stop playing it. It hit the emotional buttons that TLOU1 hit for me, which were nearly overwhelming, and it all made sense to me once I finished it. I
    It's been two days since I finished it, and I haven't stopped thinking about it. It's sticking with me in a way that only really moving material does. I went out of my way to make an account to write this review thats how much of an impression it left.
    It's not perfect, and is a slog at times, the the ending is SO WORTH the effort. Amazing game. Don't let the internet trolls ruin it for you like it almost did for me. Play it, finish it, and let it leave its mark on you.

    Edit. The way this has stuck with me, and with nights of thinking on it, Im changing my score from 9 to 10. I gave it a 9 because I hated a lot of it.

    This game pulled the right strings for me, proving once again that games really art becoming a finely-tuned artform to rival cinema and traditional literature.

    Positives: - A beautiful, exceptionally crafted world with open-ish elements and graphics to die for. Really, it's worth purchasing for this alone. It really is a thing of beauty. - Interesting and realistic gameplay and levels    This game pulled the right strings for me, proving once again that games really art becoming a finely-tuned artform to rival cinema and traditional literature.

    Positives:

    - A beautiful, exceptionally crafted world with open-ish elements and graphics to die for. Really, it's worth purchasing for this alone. It really is a thing of beauty.
    - Interesting and realistic gameplay and levels that can genuinely be approached in multiple ways. I loved the options given. Take on an entire group at once, or sneak right on by. The choice is yours, but there are always consequences and risks. The level of violence, as some have commented on, serves a purpose to drive the central theme home. So you want to cause suffering as a player but you don't want to deal with people choking on their own blood, begging for mercy, having to gun down dogs? Grow up. This is the apocolypse.
    - A storyline that will challenge your perspective, if you're open to it. If you want formulaic UnCharted-style gameplay, this most certainly isn't it. An eye for an eye most certainly leaves the whole world blind, and while the central themes of this story are as Dostoyevsky-esque you're like to find in this game, it's... Well, complicated. It's not fun, it's not light-hearted. It's rough. That doesn't mean it's not worth it though.

    Negatives

    - Unlikeable characters that sometimes lack common sense, and few weird turns and inexplicable actions taken by the characters. But this hasn't changed since the last game. What the hell are they doing trying to kill a little girl to create a vaccine for a fungal infection? We can't even do that now! Why does Ellie hate Joel? Why does she wanna die so bad!? Why does Abby never even attempt to justify any of her actions to people, even though it would make her life easier? The characters can act stupidly at times, but this really hasn't changed too much since the first game. - Use of "none-normie" protagonists. You know what I mean when I say this. It's statistically off and obvious. I didn't dislike it, it just felt... Unrealistic.    … Expand

It is devastating when Joel dies in the beginning, and I actually cried watching that scene, but the way it is handled throughout the game was done very well. I loved all the flashbacks to really delve into the characters more deeply. This game creates a range of emotions from being sad at all the unnecessary deaths, angry, proud of watching Ellie grow and learn, empathy for not just Ellie but also for Abby, and despair at the world both of these characters endure. The ending is perfectly done, and had it happened any other way in the final fight I may have lost all respect for Ellie as a character.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. То , как гениально манипулирует игроком Neil Druckmann- мое почтение. Постоянно разное состояние. Полярно разное. После первых двух часов (после главного спойлера ) , у вас только одно желание , разъебать всех нахуй , и по ходу компании за Элли , вам показывают море флешбеков , в которых только подогревается ваша жажда мести(в этот момент вы агресивно настроены на месть , но и не можете не умиляться этими теплыми моментами с Джоелом , вы чувствуете все на себе , буквально , как будто вы потеряли близкого человека , и вот эта потеря - перерастает в месть , которая движет не только Элли но и вами , вы на какой-то момент становитесь Элли, и чувствуете все на себе ) у вас есть цель. Мое личное ощущение на тот момент - завалить всех , кто встретится на пути , и если будет выбор между пощадой и местью , я выберу месть.
    Во второй половине игры , вам показывают обратную стороны медали , и именно тут вам объясняют , почему был убит главный герой первой части. И момент из первой половины игры , выглядит уже не так однозначно. Игра на какой-то момент охлаждает ваше трахание по поводу мести и , скажем так , делает РЕЛОАД вашего сознания , и теперь , вы с чистой головой начинаете проникаться "Антагонистом" , у которого затянутая сюжетная линия , но она необходима , ибо вы должны полностью прочувствовать атмосферу главного героя , что это не просто убийца , как мародеры из первой части , которые палили по всем подряд , а это самый обычный человек , который как и все выживали , который как и все любили , пытались построить новую цивилизацию в постапокалиптическом мире , но в жизни Эбби происходит переломный момент , после которого уже все рушится. И Эбби , и Элли выходят на тропу мести. И Дракманн показывает нам , к чему приводит эта жажда мести. И финальные сцены на ферме , это очень сильно , и эмоционально передают. Дракманн показывает , до чего может довести тебя месть, в погоне за местью , ты можешь потерять все , и остаться у разбитого корыта. Именно к этому и подводит вас игра. Играя первую половину за Элли , как я уже говорил , вы на себе ощущаете все переживания Элли. И именно поэтому , после прохождения всей игры у вас остается чувство пустоты , единственное , ради чего вы жили(играли) - пройдено. Но какой ценой ? Ценой потери всех близких людей, которые были готовы на все ради вас, которые искренне любили вас , но вам было наплевать на это , пока вы все это не потеряли.
    Лично мои ощущения после игры - опустошение. Полное опустошение. Музыкальное сопровождение + полное осмысление игры - пробило на слезы . И все время , пока шли титры , я рыдал. Это лишь часть того , что хотел передать Дракманн.
    И пожалуйста , никогда не судите о игре , фильме , книге и т.п , по ее обложке.    … Expand

The game not only is beautiful and the gameplay nice, the story makes you question choices and the path that you take. To acknowledge the greatness of this game you have to put aside your resentment playing as Abby and even though it’s easier to hate her and to want to see her dead, it’s a good reflection on humanity and the ability to understand each other. You don’t have to like her, nor forgive her. But you seriously lack empathy if you can’t understand her motives for what she’s done. The story is great in the sense that they didn’t sugarcoat anything and they stay truthful to what they wanted to tell as a story. Many games are too politically correct and lack strong statements. This one doesn’t and that’s why people have a hard time with it. It’s not what they wanted to see. The game is accused of being political and being propaganda for the lgbtq+ community among other things. Well if you think that you are too immature and too close minded to play grownup games.
    The game is about hate, you’re not supposed to love it like you love playing animal crossing or fortnite. It’s supposed to make you feel anger and sadness and hate and grief. That’s precisely what makes it a great game. It’s not a perfect game but at least it takes risks and talks about important matters such as regret, love, hate, hope and redemption.
    They are some big negative aspects of course like the fact that Abby and the other wolves aren’t very likeable or the events order could have been changed to help some players build a bit of empathy. Truth is I don’t like any of them either but I know enough with the little back story that has been given to us that they aren’t bad people to the core.
    Finally the ending left me unsatisfied and even if I wished for a happier ending, a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel, I’m happy they didn’t give In stayed on the path they chose, telling you there’s no happy ending for revenge.    … Expand

I have felt happiness, sorrow, fear, anger and regret over the 30 hours of story in this game. I want to play it again so that I learn more and watch out for things that I may have missed.
    I would highly recommend this game to everyone.
    The gameplay is fantastic - including stealth and combat.the ability to craft newer weapons and advanced skill tree outs it over the first game in terms of combat.    … Expand

    As much as i did not like the ending and the narrative, i have to say that it totally makes sense especially when you are in that kind of world. Killing begets another revenge and thats what you gonna get for killing innocent.

    Beside that, everything else about the game is top-notch. The graphic quality is insane with crazy attention to details. If you are a game designer, you gonna straight-away realise how many lines of codes were needed just for the ropes mechanics in the game. Hint: It is ENORMOUS.
    The combat, if i can rate exactly, would be 1000/10 when you know how to make use of everything that has been designed wisely and is supposed for you to use against your enemies. The game is not all about sneak-attack and there are more than 20 ways of approaching your enemies. You have 6 weapons for each playable character as well as bombs, arrows, silencers, etc. so stop saying that it is repetitive. It is your playstyle that is repetitive, not the game combat mechanics. Also, the game meelee combat is extremely brutal and you gonna feel for every hit you make. All i can say is that Naughty Dog did a very good job in making the combat feel so realistic.
    Music is another strong aspect of the game. Just watch the credit roll and you will understand it.

    Overall, if you ask me whether its worth your money and time : Yes, definitely. Give it a try and judge the story for yourself rather than just reading spoilers and watching some cut-scenes on youtube. The game feels extremely different when you ARE THE ONE that is actually playing it.    … Expand

    An incredible game. A rollercoaster of emotions and a game that will have you reflecting on what transpired for days. It's uncomfortable at times but also beautiful and funny. I loved the pacing of the game.
    Don't listen to the hate, play it with an open mind and enjoy the journey.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the most incredible stories ever told in the medium. This game will break your heart, make you sick to your stomach, enrage you, but its all in service of a story that is unforgettably emphatic.

    Here's my breakdown of the three groups of people that hate this game: idiots, bigots, and rational people.

    Idiots: there are some people who can't comprehend the concept that the death of a beloved character can often serve the narrative more than their prolonged existence. Joel's death is meant to make you furious and depressed, and these idiots took that as an excuse to get mad at the developers, instead of the characters who did it. I like many people, felt the latter, which made for the perfect fuel for a revenge narrative. There are people who think Joel should have gone out in some blaze of glory, sacrificing himself for Ellie, probably quipping like some **** Marvel movie. These people missed the entire point of the series. There are no happy endings. No heroes send-off. Joel DID get a terrible death, which traumatizes Ellie even more, and the same is true for the player. The death they gave Joel was sickening, and that's the point. I cannot understand how so many people are so mad about this in such a dumb way. Yes be mad that someone died. Sometimes that happens, sometimes it seems unfair, sometimes it leaves you in anguish. That's what you're supposed to feel.

    Bigots: Let's not pretend. A large portion of all the negative reviews, and most negative opinions of the game, are because of some supposed "woke agenda". Ellie calls a homophobe a bigot, and apparently that's "woke". So is two female characters. So is a lesbian couple raising a child. So is a child questioning their gender. These inclusions were done so naturally and inoffensively that you would have to be a bigot to be upset by them. People are mad that Abby is jacked, as if you wouldn't train to be a killer if you sought out revenge for your father. People are mad that there's a twist at the end of Abby's story that Lev is trans, as if there wouldn't be any nonbinary people in the apocalypse. I can understand if they really ham-fisted it in, and said some garbage about being trans and strong, or making some comments about girl power or how women are stronger than men or something. But they didn't. This very much was a game with very complex characters that just happened to be diverse. The diversity was hardly a focal point. Even Lev's journey is more about family, spirituality, and defiance, than about being trans.

    Rational people: Now art is subjective, so obviously there are many reasons why people might like or dislike something. And there are plenty of people who didn't like this game that are justified. There are a few issues that even I have to acknowledge. Firstly, this is a very, very long game. Its pretty much 2 games in one. And a lot of people have commented on the pacing being an issue. While I found the story intensely captivating, and could hardly put down the controller when I first played it, there were still plenty of people who commented on the slow nature of some sections, especially Seattle Day 1 on Ellie's side. If a game with a long runtime that takes a while to conclude is not your cup of tea, you may not enjoy this game all the way through, but I loved it. I think the pacing of combat, exploration, and story was brilliant, and well organized. But yeah some sections are slow, and there's a lot of opening empty drawers for the sake of realism.
    There are also people who dislike the constant jumping around, to different locations without much build up. While I liked the long journey of the first game, I think it would be kinda boring to do it again. Also some people don't like the combat, but i think its the best Naughty Dog has made yet. Its so satisfying and precise, and getting headshots is especially satisfying when there's so few bullets. As a more grounded shooter (not one with crazy sci-fi or fantasy elements) I think its the best of its kind. I'm sure there are plenty of other small details too, but I can't imagine them being such dealbreakers that they would ruin the game at all. Every game has flaws, but I think these are some of the major ones.

    Lastly, I just wanna say, If you really did play to the end of the game, and still want Abby to die, then there's something wrong with you. By every objective metric, Abby is no more guilty or deserving of death than Ellie or Joel. Ellies revenge story is literally the same as Abby's. Joel killed her dad, and Abby killed Ellie's surrogate father. They are both justified, or neither of them are. And if you're problem is that Abby is a bad person, then so is Joel. He was a cold blooded murderer who stole and tortured and likely doomed the entire human race. Either they're both evil, or neither of them are. Abby is a bad person, but everyone in this world is.

    This game is a masterpiece, stop whining.    … Expand

    Quite possibly the best game I’ve ever played (possibly a little recency bias nudging it ahead of Nier Automata).

    I loved the first game and Naughty Dog has taken what was great about it and improved in almost every way. The gameplay is similar to part one, but has been tweaked to perfection; the additions to combat are small but open up many new ways to approach encounters.

    The game looks/sounds gorgeous, which is to be expected, it’s predecessor looked amazing for a PS3 game as well. The voice/mo-cap performances from the entire cast are phenomenal. The soundtrack/general sound design are incredible, there’s a weight felt with every shot fired/hit connected, and the non-human enemies sound straight up terrifying. The score (primarily) by Gustavo Santaolalla is one of the best around (again, Nier Automata) and every note fits the scene perfectly.

    Last thing I’ll mention is the story. It certainly wasn’t what I thought I wanted when the game was announced years ago, but I loved every moment, even those that made me feel hate or sadness. It follows on from the story of part one masterfully and adds real weight and consequence to the previous story, particularly its ending which was highly controversial back in 2013 (though the consensus now seems positive).

    In short, it’s a game people should play. As is Nier Automata. One of them is the best game I’ve ever played, I’m just not quite sure which one right now.    … 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]
