    The first game was a masterpiece, no doubt about it, from the graphics, the gameplay, the story and characters, however, the sequel is far inferior.

    The first game was a masterpiece, no doubt about it, from the graphics, the gameplay, the story and characters, however, the sequel is far inferior.
    Poor handling of already established characters, the story relies far too much on coincidence and unrealistic situations, some of which feel forced and manipulative.
    The gameplay introduces a couple of new mechanics but remains essentially the same. Some of the levels do drag a bit, and without a solid story to push you through, the game becomes boring in parts.

    The graphics and sound are outstanding. While some of the characters might be flawed and/or unlikeable, the voice acting is great as expected considering the talent involved. Sadly, it’s not enough to make the experience a good one.

    Finally, the game was advertised as something completely different through deceptive advertising, false statements from the game makers, altered game footage and obvious manipulation/censoring of early reviews.

    This is one of the most amazing videogames ever, even with the Abby's decision I can say that the story is pretty great. It makes my cry a couple of times. Thanks for this amazing game.

Allot of people have mixed feelings over this game mainly because of the first couple hours of the game. I personally was fine with Joel's death people say it's not what he would do but if you play the game youd see he has no choice but to follow abby. I think it's a great sequel Expand

    Graphics are stunning, the gameplay is the same as the original, it feels like there are only minor tweaks to some of the gameplay mechanics.

    The story is my main issue with the game, it jumps all over the place and is full of flashbacks, unlikable characters, disappointments and plot holes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, so let me start by saying this isn’t the story that I wanted. It’s sad, morbid, depressing, and it sank my heart. But so did Bridge to Terabithia. Both stories are AMAZING. Sometimes a story reminds you that real life happens. Not every ends with a Rocky fist raised. Not every character is Obi Wan Kenobi or Tony Stark, leaving on his terms, saving the lives of those that matter, and embracing the void. Going gently into the goodnight. A hero’s death is a hopeless gesture. Real death...is always sudden no matter how it happens. Every death is Peter Parker in endgame. And thus it was with Joel. I’d spent a lot of time with Joel, across my 4-5 full playthroughs. He was near and dear to me. And in the opening hours, the first 3, he dies. Brutally. By a woman who appears as brutal and primal as the death she handed Joel. She’s a hulking figure, and this brute kills our Joel. And that is the moment many people saw prematurely, or simply turned the game off afterwards, that lead to this game being robbed of the acclaim it deserved. It’s tough to stomach, tough to accept, and on my second play through I skipped it entirely. So heavy are the emotions such a scene envokes. However, if you approach any death or sad situation in a story as “why did the writers do this,” instead of “why did these characters do this,” you will always be upset. The reaction to Joel’s death determines your review. The game shows you both sides, and yet so many people could care less about Abby because of what she did.The way they show Abby and build sympathy wasn’t perfect, the pacing was an issue—what with all almost the characters in her story having already died in Ellie’s—and some parts were just boring (I’m looking at you Awuarium flashback/Seattleday 1) however, it was good nonetheless. Those weak points are mostly covered by highs that I’ve rarely EVER seen in gaming. There are spectacles galore. One of the greatest moments in the game is one I hated the most going into. The theatre scene. You okay as Ellie earlier but then..you switch perspectives. THIS TIME YOU ARE ABBY. And I was PISSED. WHAT??? You’re gonna make me kill Ellie and Dina? No **** way. I let myself die quite a few times. And once I finally decided to just let the story move on—you begin to realize Ellie doesn’t die, and now you’re just trying to kill her. And boy is she hard to kill. What Naughty Dog did here is take all the conflict the characters have right now, and relay them through you in a way that just wouldn’t be possible if Ellie got to beat up on Abby. You’re mad at the devs, why would they do this to you, you feel betrayed, after you’ve already given them a second cha—ohhhh. That’s exactly how Abby feels. She spared Ellie’s life and in return Ellie killed everybody she had ever loved besides Lev. You’re worried about Ellie, just like Dina does, and when Dina jumps in all you’re hoping is that she doesn’t get hurt. And right before Abby can finish the deal, it’s Lev who stops her. It’s gone too far she echoes, just leave it. And Abby does, with a promise that a return means death and you the player definitely believe her. And Ellie tries to but she can’t. She’s haunted by everything that has happened to her. Dina has the baby, they’re living in a farm, life should be good. But in the middle of the night Ellie goes off to complete her quest...and doesn’t. What some people concluded was that this was the game trying to tell you that “blah blah murder bad” which shows a historical missing of the point. So as the fight ensues, while some were waiting to slit her throat, I just wanted it to be over. I felt bad for both characters, and I knew that no matter who left that water, they’d both die. And...neither do. It was...brilliant. Yet again, where some clocked out I fell in love. Ellie goes home to a house empty, which is the saddest thing imaginable. She did all that. But for what? She has nothing, or does she? What I noticed is Ellie didn’t have her bracelet when she went on this quest. It wasn’t on in her fight with Abby. But low and behold...there it is. Back on her wrist again. And she isn’t bruised. And she has no weapons. That means she MUST have gotten back to Dina, and we just didn’t get to see it, to leave us guessing. She isn’t surprised when she sees the house empty. She doesn’t cry out for anybody’s name, she doesn’t shed any tears. She knows the house is empty. She tries to play Joel’s guitar but...three fingers. It’s a sad symbolism of her finally letting go of Joel’s death, and maybe ending the cycle. For now. Expand

    This is one of the best games I have ever played. I really enjoyed the story and how it was very brutal and dark. Feels much more realistic compared to other games. The combat is extremely fun and beautiful graphics make for a fantastic experience. You go on a roller coaster of emotions over the long and tough journey. A must play for any PS4 owner.

Moreover, the game offers the player full control over the combat actions, which range in variation to difficulty, giving the player an immersive experience in gameplay. To address the story, and how it is not remotely similar to the first game, I contend that the purpose of the second game was supposed to be different from the first. The first was a masterpiece, and therefore should not be repeated last we risk a boring and milked out plot. Therefore the second installment, as it showed, demonstrated another groundbreaking deviation from the gaming norms just like the first. I suggest everyone to play this game before giving their final thought. I understand that it might not be the best game or the game that you asked and expected; however, it needs to be said that this will be a once in a generation success in terms of gameplay, graphics, story, and character development. It really made me wish I were a person living in that zombie apocalypse to know the characters. Expand

The spamming of negative reviews is an absolutely pathetic attempt to dissuade people from experiencing something truly special. Just like the first game, Lou2 will be the mold of the next generation of storytelling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok take a deep breath and just listen to me. First of all I think that the last of part 2 is one of the biggest masterpiecies of the entire decade. I think that the story might not be happy, but it is a huge huge success at telling a deep meaningful story of the humanity and the world that Ellie, Abby, Joel etc live in. What most of the people that disliked the game don't understand and it's really difficult to understand because the only way you can get the story is by knowing that it is a deep really deep meannig that other films and games have used in the past and this way they just underestimate the game. Like what humanity can do and what a person is capable of doing about something that is really meaningful for him.Ellie lost her "father" joel cause he couldn't live without her, let me explain.Joel could't let ellie die because their relationship was as powerful as his daughter's shara and because he lost his trust to the humanity because "humanity killed" his daughter indirectly and that maked him selfish and only caring about his life and nothing else that's why he has killed so many innocent people. I am not hatting Joel but I am just saying that he did many bad things and after getting his daughter back he started a new life and trying to be a better person and forget his past but it was too late to change his character and the thinks he did were not forgivable and what he trying to do was to just not let her go before him and he succeed in doing. Now I am really tired because I can talk about the game the story and the characters litreally foreverthanks for hearing me sorry that I didn't cover some mayor thing such as the character of ellie but I am really tired of writting btw sorry for my english.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of Part 2 is an emotional struggle. Yes the story does not go the way that people imagined or hoped it would, but that is what I love about it. It beautiful portrays the hellish reality in which they live. Their motives are scattered and they are lost. Ellie blindly seeks revenge in hopes that she can regain some normality only to discover in the end that revenge will not help her. The characters have become as wild as anyone else they face throughout the game. The different emotional elements the characters have to face creates so many layers of intrigue. You really start to worry for them and feel their dread. How they make you feel the world through Abbies eyes is incredible. It really shows you that living in this world is tough for everyone and not just Ellie. At first you despise Abbie but then you start to empathise with her and understand where she is coming from. This is not just a typical revenge story, their are so many different variables that make it truly fascinating. Everybody has a different opinion on this game and at the end of the day your opinion is what matters the most. And in my opinion this captivating journey, with it’s gorgeous scenery and super fun gameplay has been one of the Greatest games I have ever played. Expand

    The Last of Us Part II, is once again a heart aching journey of loss, love, sacrifice, anger, forgiveness and so much more in an emotionally heavy story and gameplay. It puts the players in completely uncharted land to help deliver a story that heavily questions our motives, our reality and our feelings.

    The Last of Us Part II is a masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I managed to dodge the leaks and spoilers, I was so nervous to play this game. I am not a gamer and TLOU is the only game I've ever played and completed. I was so scared that I would hate this because of the negativity online and whispers of a terrible storyline. Now, I am so relieved that I loved this game. Obviously the things that happened early on in the game were going to cause deep and raw emotional reactions, and they were meant to. I truly don't understand how people can accuse this game of bad writing or story telling. It's a tale of survivors and makes you second guess yourself as a player. I think people held onto their anger at Joel's death just to spite themselves. It wasn't thrown in early to rush it, it was to catch you off guard. He didn't get a hero's ending not because he's not hero (whether he is or isn't is debatable), but because it's unrealistic. People only want realism when it suits them.
    It's an amazing game. An exploration of loss and forgiveness and love and hate. I signed up just to give this one more good review.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its hilarious to see the devs giving their own game positive reviews on multiple account, You can totally tell which reviews those are because the person that wrote the review only has 1 review (about this game ha) on their account. It should be illegal to give a product, that you had a hand in creating, a positive review, let alone give it multiple positive reviews..

    This game just has a horribly unbelievable story because in the post apocalypse, people arent going to be worried about transitioning their gender, they are going to be worried about eating. This game just has such a stupid concept. Just really shows how dumb devs really are these days. They cant even grasp simple concepts like that. And it just makes for awful un-immersive games/stories.

    Not to mention that nothing was even mentioned in the first one about gender transition or anything, but the second games comes out, and is pretty much all about gender transition? In the apocalypse? Its just so fkin unbelievable that its ridiculous. You would have to be such a moron to buy this story. Because trust me, when your worried about eating, and being eatin, transitioning your gender is going to be the last thing on your mind..

    The only thing I have a problem with is horrible writing/stories with absolutely no logic or fore-thought put into it/them

    Just because the story isn’t what *you* wanted it to be, doesn’t make it bad. People die, stuff happens, things don’t go as planned. Not every story gets a satisfying, happy ending. Deal with it. The game is set in a bleak, post apocalyptic world, not a Disney fairy tale.

    the gameplay was very good, and the inclusion was something not very important to highlight the game, but it was regular, but it doesn't make it a bad game.

    Regarding the negative comments and the absurd qualifications, I assume that they are people who only let themselves be carried away by others who do not understand the complex psychology that has a game, I only think of homophobic people and who cry like crib children for death a character that he did not die heroically.

    Everything on the technical side is improved and enhanced greatly from the first game.

There's of course better graphics and animations, bigger levels and new environmental elements, but the biggest enhancements are the AIs of both your NPC companions and the enemies. Specially the stalkers - those feel like a completely different enemy this time around and provide some of the more intense sequences.

    Regarding the story... the game creators have said it best: The first game is about love, the second game is about hate. The first game was sad and violent, and ugly, but it was also heart-warming and beautiful. You see the world through the eyes of a washed-off man who learns to love again.

    This game is the complete opposite. It's designed to make you feel increasingly unease, to the point of regretting your own actions. You start strong and determined, only to get slowly and relentlessly invaded by doubt and quilt. At some point you might even feel that you would rather not carry on the actions that the game requires for the story to progress. In my book, that's a huge accomplishment. I feel that many of the people who criticize the choices they made on the story are missing this point.

    Me... I've never seen anything remotely like this before.

    Everyone was expecting a light hearted game filled with moments of Ellie's and Joel's interactions. In a world like this, it would be highly unrealistic.

In a world like this, it would be highly unrealistic. This game carries mature and heavy themes, so it is understandable why it wasn't made for everyone. For those pressed about what happens in the beginning that sets the plot for the rest of the game- how else would you have told this story? Naughty Dog acknowledges the brutality of killing off this loved character, and wants the audience to feel just like Ellie- someone who just lost their father. Others are mad at the "poor writing", but the four complex timelines the game carries is highly difficult and ballsy to pull off. Having to "walk a mile" for the character you truly hate has the purpose to really test the player's bias and morals. The ending did trigger many people- a plot of revenge doesn't end in revenge. But what about the first game? The plot of "saving humanity" didn't end in that. Plot and stories are different. Plot: finding the cure of humanity, story: relationship between Ellie and Joel. Plot: revenge, story: grief and forgiveness. If you walk away still wanting Abby dead, you may have completed the game but not with your soul. Yes this game is emotionally draining, but it reflects the sad truth about our reality- how unstructured and animal-like society would become in a world like this. Expand

    I, personally, like this game – the story and the way that it's told – much better than Part I, which itself was told in a very simplistic and linear fashion. The characters in Part II were much more developed, and felt much more like part of the story. By contrast, in Part I, the only characters that were truly developed were Joel and Ellie; while every other character felt like a random encounter.

    My only major issue with the game was the looting mechanic, which I felt was too monotonous, and a little detrimental to how otherwise immersive this game is.

    There's also one particular segment that I thought felt unintentionally ambiguous. Without having to spoil anything, I can just say that it had to do with reporting an address in Santa Barbara over the radio. Luckily, this was just one small misstep in otherwise perfect storytelling.

    I highly recommend that everyone who has any interest in this game play it through till the end. It will send you on an emotional roller coaster ride, so make sure you take brakes to recover, but it will be worth it in the end.

Como fica os jogadores que "mataram" o médico no final do primeiro jogo dando um tiro no pé em? Como fica? Nem era pra morrer né, NENHUM inimigo do primeiro jogo morre assim. Como fica aqueles jogadores que atiraram sem ter na intenção de matar aquele médico? E mesmo assim ele desmonta e morre todo estranho? Da próxima vez que for vomitar uma história, aprende a fazer vilão direito, caso você sinta vontade de fazer as pessoas ' entenderem o lado dele". Tome como exemplo o Darth Vader... O povo curte ele.. não odeiam como odeiam a Abby... (E olha que o Anakin MATA CRIANCINHAS!!!!Sem contar a propaganda enganosa do jogo mostrando o Joel naquela cena, onde na verdade é o Jesse que aparece.
    Tem jogo que transmite alegria.
    Tem jogo que transmite adrenalina , empolgação.
    The last of us parte 2 só transmite ódio mesmo.
    Quando o Joel morre, eu senti vontade de sair correndo já pro final do jogo... E quando finalmente chega.. voces me pedem pra jogar 15 horas com a Abby, pra entender o lado dela? Fiquei agoniado querendo chegar logo no confronto das duas.. e qndo chega, sou OBRIGADO a continuar jogando com a Abby, mesmo depois dela ter matado o Tommy? Que absurdo. Que palhaçada! Que ódio senti jogando com essa vilã sem coração.
    Depois do confronto DECEPCIONANTE, vocês de propósito dão a entender que ali seria o fim? Deu ódio de novo. Tanto ódio que se tivesse acabado ali.. nunca mais compraria jogo algum dessa empresa!
    Não me importei nenhum pouco com o conteúdo LGBT retratado.. não tenho nenhuma crítica..
    A única crítica mesmo é a história horrível e mal contada.

    Como ver o lado da Abby? Como sentir pena dela? O que ela perdeu na vida? O pai? Ver o Joel perdendo a FILHAA deu muuuito mais dó, do que ver a Abby chorando. Chega nem perto!
    Ela perdeu o ex namorado? BEM FEITO porque ela chifrou a amiga!... E só.. o resto dos "amigos" dela, são no MÁXIMO colegas distantes, já que vocês não tiveram capacidade de mostrar o quão importante aquelas pessoas eram pra Abby... Atropelaram a história, ao invés de contar direito os fatos.. e fazendo isso, não deu tempo de sentir pena da Abby, que brutalmente ASSASSINOU covardemente o Joel no mesmo dia que o Joel salvou a vida dela.
    Essa história é uma sobrevivência, que mostra o quão injusto é esse mundo... Da próxima vez que forem alterar o sentido de uma franquia. Por favor avisem antes, pq assim eu não compro esse lixo..

    É o mesmo que pegar uncharted 5 e fazer um avulso arrancar o joelho do Nate, bater com um taco de golfe na cabeça dele até grudar uns pedaço do cérebro, e depois o jogador jogar 15 horas com o assassino do Nate, pra entender o lado dele, e no combate final a gente continuar usando o assassino do Nate pra arrebentar com o Sully... Essa é a história do The last of us parte 2 convertida no universo Uncharted... É isso... Porcaria, se pudesse eu devolvia e pegava meu dinheiro de volta.. jogo com história mais lixo que existe, pra quem detesta injustiça. PASSE LONGE DESSE JOGO QUE SÓ TE DEIXA COM ÓDIO!

But is the game a 0 or a 1 for that? Hell no.. The visuals are one of THE most impresive ive ever seen. I cant belive it runs so well on a PS4 and its even more impresive on a PRO system. Sound and music is again one of THE best ive heard in a game. How the enemies communicate to each other is excellent. The clickers and the other infected are even more terifyin than the last game. Game play and the stealth is so damn fun and is a huge improvment from first game.

    The only flaw i have with the game is the pasing and the story. And im not that upset with Joels death not the way he died. Sure i wish he could live but not all stories have a happy ending. In not a huge fan of flashbacks in games thou. And this game has ALOT of them unfortanetly. Witch ruins the pasing and mess up the immersion. And yeah, some of the directions and events in the story is.. a Little wierd, but its still enjoyable.

    All and all its a damn fine game witch is really beatiful and fun to play with a story and pasing thats the only two things that hold it back a little.

This game is best in class when it comes to graphics, performance capture, and action set-piece moments. The environmental detail, sound, music, and animations are unbelievable. This game is also solid gameplay-wise and exceeded my expectations. You will die a lot, but because the scenarios play out differently and you have so much agency to try different things, it was not an issue. Thankfully checkpoints and loading are handled well. The game is not too long, IMO. The scenarios are different enough to not feel like anything is repeated. Do not rush the game. Take your time and take a break. The game is brutal and intense. The story does jump back in time, so you may want to see what is next instead. Be patient, it is worth the wait. I want to replay in new game + to have all the guns and upgrades. Something I never considered for LofUs. The argument is understandable that the first game has a better story. This game still impacted me emotionally by great performances as much as the first, while bringing the unforgettable music more to the forefront. Understand these characters are flawed and give in to the story they are telling. This is not an RPG. Regardless of how you feel about the narrative, this game is better in every other way.

    HERE ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PLAYING THE GAME. In settings, set supplies to auto-pickup and also consider enabling pointing you to the next objective by clicking the left stick. This is a resource game, so load all your weapons and have those at the ready before entering an encounter. It is like Witcher in that regard. Prepare and use everything at your disposal. If you are spotted that is okay. Improvisation in fights is what makes this game shine. Use the whole environment. You have a large space to work with, always be moving. If you have too much of a resource, craft item(s) immediately so you can pick up everything. Set auto-aim assist before knocking difficulty down to easy. But, I am kind of a bad shot. :-)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah sure Neil, we love playing 12 hours as a character who was just newly introduced to the game without any character building, who killed one of the best characters who made TLOU1 so so great, we've waited 7 years to see this. I hope you learn from this, Neil. Expand

    The gameplay, soundtrack, and graphics are a definite 10/10. Some creative decisions made are bold but I appreciate them all. Everyone at Naughty dog overworked themselves and were passionate in making this game, and you can clearly see that. Great fun, enjoyed it.

    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]
