    Where do we start here, wow. Well, let's start with the first thing you'll notice I guess, the graphics.
    What can I say, running it on a PS4 Pro which isn't the strongest platform for games, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a PC game, the graphics are absolutely stunning, quite possibly the best looking game to date despite it being on console.
    Do the graphics hit performance? Well,
    Where do we start here, wow. Well, let's start with the first thing you'll notice I guess, the graphics.
    What can I say, running it on a PS4 Pro which isn't the strongest platform for games, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a PC game, the graphics are absolutely stunning, quite possibly the best looking game to date despite it being on console.
    Do the graphics hit performance? Well, yes and no... anyone who played the Last of Us remaster on PS4 on a 1080p TV will be disappointed to learn there is no 60fps mode at all, you won't be able to favour performance over visuals even if, like me, you're using a Pro on a 1080p TV. That is a big disappointment, but it aims for 30fps and in my two play-throughs I can say with certainty that it rarely if ever deviated from that target. It was a solid experience throughout.
    Next up, the sound design... it's simply breathtaking, the audio is phenomenal throughout the entire game, from the ambient sounds of nature to the visceral sounds of clicker and humans being killed, a real treat for your ears, especially if you wear headphones while playing games.
    Gameplay? Well, this is where the game has me on the fence... the fighting and the stealthing is great, the game has tight controls although at times finicky because of the lower framerate making aiming and target acquisition slightly harder if you're used to playing at high framerates on PC for example, but other than that aiming and moving feel great, the main downside with the overall gameplay is how often there's a very very pretty but largely empty corridor or area to explore, it's gorgeous no doubt, but the world feels at times unpopulated and empty, sure, that could very well be by design as it is post apocalypse, but first and foremost it's a game, and there was at times, nothing going on. While contrary to that, the times when the action did pick up, WOW.. Some of the most intense scenes I've played in a "triple A" titles in recent memory.
    Finally... The story... what seems to be a major point of contention for some people... Let me start by saying this, the story is simply amazing, it's gripping, it will challenge the way you think about your protagonists. I would advise you don't listen to the loud minority of people complaining, they don't like the story and that's fine, that doesn't mean the story is badly written... because it isn't at all, the story is genuinely incredible and an amazing addition to Joel and Ellies story from the first game. There is a lot of emotions involved in this sequel, you will be angry, you will be sad. THAT IS THE POINT, this game isn't afraid to do things on its terms, it's refreshing to play a game with a story that quite frankly is difficult to absorb rather than pandering to fan service, I am upset that the story went this way, but I am upset in a good way, the way Naughty Dog intended. Quite frankly, I am still thinking about the story and everything days after I got the platinum trophy, it was a rollercoaster from start to finish.

    So... why a 9? Why not a 10? Well, while the story was genuinely really really very good, it went on too long. There were at least two points the game could have ended and the story wasn't as tight as it could have been, the story they wanted to tell could have been told far tighter, I was frustrated at times because of how much back-and-forth they did, the overall story was still after all said and done, simply amazing, but how it was presented needs work, I feel like if it was edited better it would even better than the first game, but it's just a little too long in the tooth and messy how it is right now. I don't think there was a single character or moment in this game that felt off, or I didn't like. It's one of the most finely crafted video games I've ever played, it's just a slight shame the presentation of the narrative falls a little short and we have to endure that 30fps cap instead of having an option for 60fps.

    I do hope Metacritic removes these stupid 0 reviews, anyone giving this game a 0 needs to rethink their lives.

People are very upset that joel died and i get it we all love joel but saying that the game is **** because joel died in a **** up way is just stupid... I mean this is a post apocalypthic world people just die and thats all there is no heroic deaths in this universe.

    This games flaws have been wildly over exaggerated by immature man children, if someone tells you that the story is "incoherent" or "full of plot holes" there's a good chance that they either weren't paying attention because they didn't like the direction of the story or they never actually played the game.

    That being said the story is very unconventional, I'm not going to spoil anything

    That being said the story is very unconventional, I'm not going to spoil anything but I will say that I did play the game with one spoiler in mind, which was the antagonists reason for doing a particularly controversial thing at the beginning of the game and it helped me empathize with her.

    The gameplay is excellent, enemy ai feels intelligent every gun has great impact, stealth sections are a bit boring but that's just me All round a great game

    The graphics are great but the art design, environments and overall attention to detail is what really makes the game shine. When it comes to dialogue and acting Naughty Dog remains unequaled.

    I bought the game on release and am currently halfway through my second play-through and still havnt encountered a single bug or glitch. Also, there are NO in-game loading screens. A breath of fresh air compared to most releases we have seen this late in the PS4s lifecycle.

    The game-play is great with intense action that sometimes feels almost scripted, partly due to superb ai. You can tell that a lot of effort has gone into "quality of life" adjustments making for a really smooth and satisfying game-play experience.

    I recommend turning the difficulty settings up one step from what you are used to. Or atleast to turn up the difficulty slider for Player, Allies and Resources. For me Hard represented what I expect Normal to be.

    Overall its hands down one of the best games I have ever played.

    Most of my criticism comes down to nitpicking or personal preferance but here goes:
    - I dont like playable flashbacks or playing different characters, it brings me out if the story. I would have prefered if some of these parts of the game was replaced with cut scenes.
    - I would have preferred more focus on building an adventure compared to telling a complex story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i will give everything except the story of this game a 9 out of 10, but for fans of the first game like me, all that matters is the story here. This is a bad game isn't because Joel got killed, or the way the storyline was organised. The point here is that all the characters are acting like someone else and Neil Druckmann just manipulated them to bring whatever story himself wanted in order to force all the players to accept his own values and to satisfy his own ego. All the social justice **** he put into this game just doesn't fit in the World of TLOU where all that matters is survival. The first game was a master piece because being putted in the same situation I would take the same choices just like Joel and Ellie, not like some Dolls of SJW. Also as Asian i don't feel funny when Ellie said she doesn't like Jesse just because he is a Asian, you won't joke around with black peoples like that. 7 years of waiting and all the hard works of the talented developers in Naughty Dog, all wasted because of Neil Druckmann.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay mechanics are decent, nothing spectacular. Shooting mechanics are way improved and stealth is awesome. Graphics alone are breathtaking and game changing and ND out did themselves on this one. However, when I buy a story based game it’s because I want the immersive experience of being involved with a story that I can connect with and fall in love with. TLOU part 1 did this and I went in with the belief that part 2 would be the love letter to fans, as a sequel should be. I was wrong and sorely mistaken. The story is contrived and retcons characters that were previously beloved to push a social agenda. TLOU2 kills off Joel within the first couple hours and expects us to sympathize with the killer Abby who is basically a sociopath and full of hate. It tries to tell us that Ellie’s path of destruction created by Joel’s death will only perpetuate more destruction. Whereas the revenge narrative of Abby is justified because Joel killed Abbys dad and Abby is a good person. She’s not. She relishes in other people’s deaths and feels no remorse. . Echo chamber bs, I love video games and love ones that are rich in culture and personality. This is not that. It’s something else entirely... u can’t go 5 minutes with sexuality being forced down your throat. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Probably the absolute worst way you could make a sequel. Your beloved characters is beaten to death by a group that he saves in front of his “adopted” daughter and brother, who both swear revenge, kill a whole lot of people, get a whole lot of people killed and in the end don’t even finish what they started. The gameplay becomes mundane after an hour, you’re forced to play as a character you care nothing about and you’ll feel forced in a linear script that seems rather outdated to do things that make extremely little sense

    . Characters personalities appear to have been completely remade, intelligence is dropped significantly and you’re forced to kill pregnant women and animals. While the game truly does showcase the worst of humanity in an extremely interesting light, it completely undoes the first game, taking away all credit the company could have possibly gained from said game. All in all, the game is a forced perspective of someone trying to top their previous master piece in what feels like a 14 year old edge lords favorite fan fiction. The dialogue drops in quality tremendously this game, making characters feel awkward and clumsy. Character development is entirely absent. Nothing is gained in the story, they leave little room for you to want to continue the story of either Ellie or Joel’s murderer Abby. But hey, the graphics are top notch.

    De principio a fin me han sorprendido las críticas feroces a este juego y a una semana de haberlo pasado sigo sin entenderlas. El mejor juego en cuanto a gráficos, animaciones, música y diseño de niveles de la actualidad (como mucho empatado con alguno que otro). La historia es fascinante, puedo entender que sea algo más subjetivo pero hay elementos que son incuestionables:
    -Temas interesantes y profundos (la demonización y humanización del otro, el perdón, los conflictos internos, el crecimiento personal o las relaciones humanas, entre muchos)
    -Personajes bien construidos y coherentes con los que es fácil sentir diferentes emociones.
    -Buenos giros de trama y todos ellos creíbles (es crítica sin spoiler pero "eso" que pasa al principio está bien justificado con los posteriores flashbacks).
    -Profundización de las relaciones entre los personajes como Joel-Ellie, Ellie-Dina y los nuevos que no voy a mentar para evitar spoilers.
    -Final desgarrador y muy humano (como el del primero, en definitiva).
    -Buenas referencia al primero (no voy a extenderme en ello, pero sobre todo se puede ver con los flashback y cierta relación en la segunda mitad del juego).
    -La historia intenta ir más allá de las cinemáticas y su mensaje se traslada a las mecánicas del juego. No consigue del todo romper con la famosa disonancia ludonarrativa, pero hace un buen movimiento en este sentido

    Se trata de una historia muy continuista con el primero y al que hace un claro homenaje. Parte de un planteamiento simple (como el primero) pero mediante éste se ahonda en lo que interesa a la trama como son las relaciones de los individuos en un mundo apocalíptico y cómo se vive en él, que busca siempre romper el ritmo y replantear los prejuicios que va construyendo.

    En definitiva, es uno de los juegos de la generación. Muy en la línea del primero, no inventa nada pero todo lo que hace lo hace bien. Juego puntero en todos los aspectos técnicos y con una trama apasionante pero que, sin embargo, no es apta para todos los públicos. Como "pero" es innegable que se hace excesivamente largo y quizás le sobren algunas horas, sin embargo esto no arruina el resultado final.

    Compra obligada para toda persona con una ps4 y que le gustan las historias humanas, si buscas un mata-zombies, pasa de largo o espera una rebaja.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The number of zeroes and bad reviews on this game is frankly disgusting to me, because it's exceptional, a true work of art. I'm not even going to talk about graphics/gameplay/acting/musics, because what the point? Superb. No, I'll concentrate on the story.
    HOW, how can someone say that it ruines the first game? Because Joel is dead?! Because he suffered the consequences of his actions? I'm not saying that saving Ellie at the end of part I was wrong, but if I were Abby and someone had killed my father that way, I would have been **** pissed as well. So, obviously, you can't criticize Abby for doing the same thing Joel did (the murder in itself) - or at least, not by the end of the game.
    I don't think I've ever hated someone as much as Abby in the first part... just to have all of the table turned on me. To anyone saying they would have killed her in the end/Ellie shouldn't have shown mercy... what the hell is wrong with you? You kind of frighten me as a person. The game's moral is ALL ABOUT the dangers of revenge, and how it's never the answer. The final confrontation between the two protagonists is exemplary: they are both weak, pale, shadows of the warriors they used to be. They're two corpses trying to kill each other. In the end, Ellie looses everything, and suffers the consequences of her actions because she was given a choice: between staying with the love of her life, and the baby they had together, raising a family and trying to work out her trauma like a normal human being, she set off to get revenge, even when she knew what had happened the first time (Jesse's death).
    Also, don't think, not even for a second, that Ellie was doing what she was doing for Joel. Abby was- for her father; Ellie was mad because she was robbed of the opportunity to forgive Joel. Ellie doesn't realize that she's mad at herself for not having forgiven him earlier, when deep down she wanted to (you can see that she loves him still). Both girls were robbed of the life they could have had with their father figures, and both of them destroy each other's life - the people in it - while blinded by this rage.
    At first, we hate Abby, but as the game goes on, we see how good of a character she is, the evolution she undergoes, how much she's changed. If you can't sympathize with that, what is wrong with you? You're making the same mistake as Ellie: watching the story only from your point of view (as people who love Joel).
    As for the violence- it's present, it's unsettling and it made me nauseous at times. But I do think it's an accurate representation of what a world like that is like. It should repel people, not attract them (and that's why seeing people send death threats to Abby's ACTRESS scares me... people out there are crazy if they can't distinguish a character from the actress that plays her; in a world like TLOU's you would be crazy fanatics).
    Finally, I'm not even taking into account how progressive this game is: representation of all races, strong female characters, two gay characters and even a trans one! (oh, and if this is one of or the main reason why you didn't like the game, **** you).
    In conclusion, well done naughty dog, for how you brought to life a compelling story, full of ethical dilemmas and for how well you played with our emotions (basically, thanks for hurting me).

    I would like to see a part III, more focused on Ellie and her redemption arc (trying to win back Dina and their son), and perhaps even something about a possible cure? Or other immune people? Ellie can't be the only one!

In my perspectief this is the only and one game that gives you emotions that nether a book or a movie can offer them in the same way that these game is delivering. Technically the gameplay is awesome i can't describe it in words you should have to play it self. Just amazing master peace.

Сюжет за Эбби не очень понравился из-за не привязанности к персонажу. Я не был привязан к ней так, как к маленькой девчонке, за которой мы наблюдали на протяжении первой главы данного шедевра.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vraiment une bombe ce jeu, l'exploration du thème de la vengeance est assurément excellente. On suit Ellie et on se perd dans sa folie avec elle dans sa quête de vengeance. Tous attristés part la mort très tôt d'un personnage que l'on apprécie tous, Naughty Dog arrive à nous impliquer dans cette folie, on perd émotionnellement pied avec Ellie et le studio nous montre tantôt habillement, tantôt durement que se laisser happer par la vengeance entrainée par la perte d'un être cher nous conduit à notre propre perte. Chacun de nos actes a des conséquences à la fois sur nous-même et sur les autres et s'enfermer dans la vengeance c'est s'enfermé dans une boucle meurtrière et infinie. Ce jeu est infiniment puissant en terme d'émotions.... Les joueurs qui sous-notent ce jeu sont des gens qui malheureusement n'ont pas réussi à digérer cette aventure, peut-être même au point qu'ils n'en n'ont pas compris le sens et le message derrière ce scénario. Oui l'histoire est dure, frustrante mais qu'est-ce qu'elle est réaliste lorsqu'il s'agit de dépeindre la nature humaine et le psyché de monsieur tout le monde. Qui pourrait affirmer ne pas vouloir partir dans une vendetta après la perte "injuste" (selon les points de vue de tel ou tel personnage) d'un être cher... ?

    Du génie... Même si mon cœur aurait souhaité ne voir personne mourir. Bravo Naughty Dog, l'histoire m'a totalement retournée.

    Cons
    - The spoilers before the game launched. This really destroyed the impact this game could have had.
    - Characters that fill up the world can look low quality in comparison to main characters. Ps4 limits?
    - Climbing down from ladders is a pain in the ...

Но это стоит того. Вопреки тому что везде пишут, это не история о мести, а скорее боле утраты и о смирению с ней , Эбби потеряла отца и друзей, Элли потеряла Джоэла и Джесси. обе они хотели прикончить друг друга но в итоге смирились с утратой друзей и поняв что ничего не изменить отпустили друг друга. на мой взгляд игра не плоха, и заслуживает 9 баллов.

Joel et Ellie ne sont pas les héros sans défauts que l'on aimerait fantasmer, non ils n'ont rien d'exceptionnel et ne valent pas forcément plus que les autres gens brisés par le monde dans lequel ils vivent. La vengeance est une spirale sans fin qui détruit et salit tout.

    Je ne pense pas que Neil Druckman ait eu la naiveté de penser que tout le monde aimerait son oeuvre tant elle respire la volonté d’être clivante et réussit à l’être sans ne jamais verser dans le putassier. À la fin de ce jeu il ne reste rien que des regrets et de l’amertume. "If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself". Un grand jeu video, que dis-je, une grande oeuvre, 10/10

    it's about revenge. That here nobody is more good than the other. In a world where survival prevails, neither ellie nor joel nor abby are good or bad people.
    Joel killed a lot of people in the first game and it is normal for other people to take justice. But let's remember that both Ellie and Joel killed people in the past and that does not make them better people than fireflies, wolves or seraphites.
    The fireflies wanted a cure for humanity and Joel out of selfishness preferred to save Ellie by killing people who only wanted a cure. Joel saved Ellie without asking her opinion.

    The fights are the best Naughty Dog has produced, light years from the first game. The animations are shocking, literally. The best in the industry.
    And the most impressive thing is how ND has achieved this level of detail and spectacularity in a simple PS4.

But the guy who wrote the story didn't think about little things, like why Joel trusted wolves in the first hours of the game when he was very suspicious in the first game, there were holes in the script that didn't explain well why he trusted, because they wanted Joel's death to happen at all costs, but in itself the story is good, because in the first half of the game, you are presented with parts where you want to kill all the wolves at any cost and in the Second half, they really make you wonder if you want to keep killing the people that are left, because everyone is not bad in this game, it is simply about a world of survival, as Ellie has killed people in cold blood to survive as well as Abby, but the graphics, the gameplay, the soundtrack of the game, are some things that stand out from the whole game Expand

    Damn, can’t believe this game looks this good on a base PS4. I was seriously considering either waiting for a PS5 or getting a Pro. Naughty Dog are wizards and I cannot wait to see what they do with next gen, because the world they built is gorgeous. Sound
    The soundtrack is amazing and I love what they did with the mechanic for playing the guitar. Also, they did an excellent job with the surround sound implementation that really pulls you into being in this world. This is the kind of game you want to enjoy with a nice sound setup for sure. Gameplay
    I wasn’t a big fan of the first games controls/gameplay, but they nailed this one. It’s hard to say what exactly they changed as I don’t exactly remember the intricacies of the first, but I know this one felt fluid and I always felt in control and could do what I wanted at any time. Game plays great and the “I’m on the hunt” gameplay was pretty sick as I crawled through the grass to grab an unexpected enemy or set up traps to take enemies down. Also, Abby feels different than controlling Ellie as her skills are geared more towards offense. It really broke up things and was a nice change of pace. Especially when fighting a particular boss that gave me Resident Evil vibes (felt this several times while playing this game). Story
    Wow, while I could see it coming, Abby taking out Joel was a true gut punch. While it stung, I was impressed that they would do that and it really made it feel like anything could happen which rippled through the rest of the game. I wasn’t crazy at first about playing as Abby as I didn’t care about the character at all, but they actually were able to make me care as I learned more about her and what Joel robbed from her that made her who she was. Which is a complete bad ass. However, when I had to take on Ellie, it was crazy how that scene made me appreciate how much of a bad ass Ellie really was. Taking on the main character, I mean who does that?!? It was brilliant as far as It concerned. The story is what made me a huge fan of the first game and this game did not disappoint. I was at the edge of my seat and could not believe how in depth they went with some of these characters that made you cringe when they might or did get taken out. I thought the writers were brave and told an amazing (if not brutally violent) story of tragedy and revenge. Final Thoughts
    Game was amazing. The is the pinnacle of the survival horror genre. My only gripes are very minor. A) I played the game on hard which limits loot. I didn’t like taking out an enemy that say had a bow and arrow, without the game dropping me at least some ammo. I get why they limited it, but come on, if I can see what kind of weapon you have, you should at least drop 1 piece of ammo for that weapon. B) I only ran into 2 minor glitches in the game. That’s it. Those are my only complaints. The game was fantastic. I know I’m enjoying a game when I stay up crazy late and lose all track of time (I was up to 5 am one night not realizing it). Naughty Dog has outdone themselves and crafted an amazing game that deserves the critical acclaim they received from journalists. 10/10.

However I think it was brilliant to allow us to play as the "Vilian." I personally was super upset by all the leaks and rumors, pre-release. Before even playing I already hated this Abby character. Upon being able to play as her, to really witness and feel her story as we would with the other main character, I truly began to feel for her. Many people are so upset about the drama before the game was released, some maybe even going as far as to not give this game a chance or even give it a poor review out of spite. I however am a true gamer and have a deep love for this game and the first. I give it a 9 simply because the darkness in the game is a little much for people who do not understand things such as mental health issues or for those who do suffer from them. I have personally played and own hundreds of video games across multiple platforms, and The Last of Us part 2 is one of the few that has truly moved me. I will say that I do not condone the drama and mishandling of the leaks but that doesn't meant i will turn my back on a wonderful franchise. You can't blame the child for how the parent acts. Expand

    No game is perfect, and TLOU2 certainly falls into that category. Yes Joel dies in a brutal and unceremonious way, but that's what happens when you literally damn the ENTIRE WORLD. Don't get me wrong i'm not happy about his death either as I grew to love his charter in the first game, but I understand it lore wise.

    Ellie is rightfully angry and vengeful when she watches her (basically) dad die in front of her and sets off in a quest of vengeance, which was basically a waist of time since she kills everyone else except Abby, the one who took Joel's life. Not to mention the fact that you play Abby for half the game to better understand her and the driving force on why she did it, AFTER the story basically reaches its climax.

    There are bits of story in the middle, lets call it the B story, that i really didn't care about simply because it was boring and unnecessary. Did we really need Multiple sitcom dramas in the middle of a city infected with fungus zombies trying to eat my face? It does nothing for the lore of the world or the main story, it doesn't even further character growth since Ellie basically throws everything away to continue her quest knowing shes going to lose everything.

    Surprisingly Abby does grow as a character, however it is a bit sudden and...Jarring? I'm not sure how to put it exactly but after she killed Joel she kind of regretted it but not entirely. Throughout her story you see she has moments of regret about what she did and decides she has to make up for it by saving two kids who saved her life and are on the run from their cultist tribe because of one of them identify's as a boy when they were born a girl. Again, B story I could honestly care less about since it doesn't add anything besides giving a nod to the LGBT community which is now obligatory in most video games now.

    Seriously, Abby goes on huge undertaking by going to ground zero of the outbreak in the city to find medial supplies that may or may not exist to save one of the kids (who she met the previous night) that dies anyways 24 hours later. Another HUGE waste of time, granted it would of been fine if they would of done the surgery and just left but nope. The B plot takes over and the sibling who identifies as a boy goes back to the island to retrieve their mother even though they know she wont accept him and will most likely die. So in perfect video game logic fashion Abby and the girl who just had her arm cut off go after him instead of saying "Nope not worth facing an entire island of cultist just to save a boy." During there escape from said island the sister dies, because nothing happy can happen in this game. Abby also returns to find her friends dead (by Ellie) and goes on her own Revenge quest, which is remarkably faster.

    Now were back to the the climax scene where we were 10 hours ago and finally get to see it play out. Big fight between Abby and Ellie plays out, basically a game of Tag. Long story short Abby won and was in a position to kill Ellie and Dina but didn't. It was a "be the bigger person moment" and left them bleeding out on the floor. The end right? You wish.

    Ellie and Dina are now living in a farmhouse with a baby living the american dream. Except for the fact that Ellie still has PTSD from the whole Joel thing since she failed her quest and didn't get closure. So she heads back out to track Abby down again only to find that she was taken by a group of slavers and put on a pole on the beach to die of starvation, get burned to death by the sun, or to a group of hungry birds, take your pick. But Ellie cuts her down and demands they settle things once and for all, Abby refuses, Ellie threatens to kill the little boy that was strung up with her, Abby then agrees. They fight Ellie is now in the position to kill her but doesn't and lets her go because of a Joel flashback. Ellie goes back to her farmhouse and finds that Dina and the baby along with all there stuff is gone, and all Ellie has to show for it is two missing fingers on her left hand, The end.

    So basically the story is messy, for multiple reasons but here's the thing, I kind of like it. It shows the ugly side of humans and how dangerous people are when you take everything from them and give them nothing to lose. Some people will swear up and down human arnt like that, but we are, put between a rock and a hard place we will do anything to survive, Darwinism at its finest. The B plots leave a lot to be desired but the main story has its moments.

    Gameplay wise it goes above and beyond, the mechanics are solid, shooting feels great, and there is always tension in the air you can cut with a knife. Stealth is the way to go but all out firefights are viable too if you have the ammo.

    Graphics are stunning, the amount of TLC that was put in the visuals is hands down the best thing about this game from the reflections, light shafts, particle effects, rain/snow, basically anything you see is a visual masterpiece.

    No meu ponto de vista the last of us parte 2 pecou muito por causa da história, que era seu ponto principal mas invés disso uma história cortada com o pior final de todos os vídeo games que eu já joguei,fiquei totalmente decepcionado se não fosse a gameplay e jogabilidade seria concerteza o pior jogo q já joguei. Com isso vou repensar em todas as vezes em q eu comprar um jogo da Sony.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This story makes me lying awake at night, thinking about it. How I hated Abby at first but grew to like her, understand her and grieve with her. Then happy when both Ellie and Abby survived Seattle, to become angry at Ellie and putting the game away for a few games. Even the ending... the game makes you think, grieve, laugh, philosophise,... and that’s why it’s a masterpiece Expand

    Imagine if those leaks never happened. Players would concentrate on the whole story, without specifying certain moments. No one would play the game with leaked scenes in mind. Just try to perceive the story as a chunk, not in pieces. Maybe THEN you will understand.

    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]
