    I can't just say I enjoyed this game
    It was so cruel but I couldn't stop playing
    This is the darkest game I have ever played
    But also one of the greatest game I have ever played

    Game play was okay but the story was HORRIBLE. I will never buy a Naughtydog game again and Sony's behavior relative to this game has convinced me to skip the PS5 and buy the new Xbox.

    Simplesmente sensacional. Qualidade técnica sempre muito alta e com uma história tensa e emocionante.
    Há momentos que poderiam ser explorados mais, porém, não fez falta.

    Para aqueles que estão reclamando que há algum tipo de mistura politica, que os acontecimentos foram estupidos, que a história não faz sentido, que o final foi ruim. Digo que vocês estão errados.

    I am leaving a 10. I don't usually review games but considering the dubious user score this game is receiving I feel like weighing in is the correct option. This game is a masterpiece. Everything, from the story to the gameplay is exceptional. You may disagree with some choices Naughty Dog decided to follow while making this game but it's undeniable that everything feels intentional and well constructed. You may disagree with the decision of killing Joel in the first act but you'd be damn sure saying that Neil Druckmann knew what he was doing when he decided what would happen to Joel. The entire plot revolves around his death, even at thimes when it seems like the game is drifting away from him, you still can see Joel's footprint in whatever the surviving characters are doing. The first Last of Us, like the name suggests, is a deep dive into the human nature and its title is symbolic in Joel's decision of sacrificing humanity for a little girl he'd grown into as a father figure. A selfish act, but a human act nontheless. "Us" is the humanity in Joel's last decision. What makes me feel like this game is such a masterpiece as the first one was is the fact that the spirit of an imperftect humanity that defined the first chapter of the game can be felt massively on this second chapter. If what drove the first game was the spirit of love which could push a man into screwing everyone else for the love of someone else, what drives the second one is hate. Visceral and disgusting hate. A dark, sad and sometimes too invadent part of the human nature that defines us as much as we are defined by love.The story-telling is great. While playing the game I felt numerous times like I didn't know where the story was going to take me, or why some characters wanted to do some things that seemed so bizzare at first, but during the entire playthrough the storyline unfolded more and more to the end, where things clicked right into place. What makes this game so divisive is also what makes this game so great. Some people hate this game entirely because of Abby, wich is entirely understandable, after all she violently kills the father figure you'd learn to love in the first chapter and it seems like the game is pushing you towards liking her, almost if the game hopes we'd forgotten what she did to Joel. But the thing is, the game (and that's the brilliance of this game) doesn't care if you like Abby. To a certain extent this second Last of Us doesn't even care if you like Joel, Dina, Lev or even Ellie. The point of this game is to show you the humanity of each and every one of them. What selfish, dumb and entirely human flaw drives each and every one of them. You're in the crossfire of humans being humans, and the symbolism of the butterfly on Ellie's arm is surreal. Joel could have saved humanity if he'd let his "daughter" die. Abby could have never killed Joel if only she didn't let herself be blinded by the spirit of revenge. Abby's decisions are what eventually led to her faith if she'd never killed Joel, she never would have met Lev and Yara, finding the love sentiment that defined Joel himself. Every character is brilliantly defined and feels like a real human being doing what you or me would have done. You can find love, hate and sadness in every character of the game, but that's the beauty of The Last of Us, there are no good or bad guys, everyone is just a "guys". The characters are three dimensionals in every aspect of themselves. After all is still a game, and what a great game. Naughty dog has a track record of making technically excellent games and this game is no exception. The physics, the graphics, the shooting, the animations and the musics are top notch in this game. Killing a human being is incredibly real and gruesome. It's awesome but also disgusting, it's great. There are times where the game is outright scary, where you are either terrified of fighting humans or infecteds. The AI is phenomenal, and the interaction system between NPCs is surreal.
    The new movement system also makes this game feel like it's from another planet if compared to the first one. I played it on the intermediate difficulty and it still felt more difficult than the first one on Hard mode. Still, the game does have some flaws, the transition between Ellie's story and Abby's story in the middle is a tad chaotic, and it leaves you wondering maybe too much what's happening to Ellie, Dina and Tommy, when the game is focusing on something else entirely. Surely this is one of the things that increase the replay factor of this game. Also, speaking of flaws, I did see a couple of glitches and tiny bugs here and there throughout the playthrough, things that would have slipped away on any other game, but the quality of this game is so high that these little defects stick like a sore thumb. In conclusion, this game IS a masterpiece. It isn’t perfect, but no masterpiece is perfect. I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m only about 16-17 hours in. I’m currently playing as Abby for some reason and hate it. What a horrible design/story choice. Oh, I’m sure it will wrap up in the story somehow at the end, but I don’t even want to get there. It’s such a chore to go through these events as this character. Just mid blowingly bad. Such a beautiful looking game. It plays just fine. It gets repetitive probing around and attacking people, but there’s strategy to it to give some interest. I just can’t stand playing as this character. Ellie was kind of a mess, but I liked the dynamic with her and Dina. This section of the game ruins all that. I hate it. I can’t give it a zero, but it’s bad.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The reason that I am giving this a rating of 5/10, is because of the story alone. I really enjoyed the game play and the graphics though. Coming from The Last Of Us, we were not expecting a Part 2, but here we are 7 years later and oh my god. So as I stated, the story is not very good. I know where they were trying to go, but they went about it the wrong way. Not only did they kill off a beloved character (one of the MAIN characters may I add) they didn't even have Ellie kill Abbey. As well as having us play as the killer of JOEL! And they try to make you feel sorry for her! Naughty dog even MISLEAD all the fans of the game by inserting Joel into roles that HE IS NOT IN! Now, I understood about the whole "ending the cycle" of non-stop killing. When you read these reviews on websites about the whole "these people are homophobic or they are incels" and the list goes on. NO! This is not the case for everyone. I have played the ENTIRE game through and i had no issue with LGBT. Most people are negative bombing the game without playing it, and just solely giving reviews on the leaks they see, or they are just agreeing with people who have a bigger following. I actually applaud naughty dog for doing this, BUT DO NOT call the people who don't like the game homophobic, trans-phobic, incels and etc. It just shows how immature these sites are.

    So all in all, It isn't a bad game. Bad story? YES. Good graphics? YES. But we are not allowed to hate the games story without the name calling. It has to stop!

    Thank you and have a nice day!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Obviously, the game is really great when it comes to visuals. Some of the best graphics out there. Gameplay is similar to the original with some upgrades here and there. Customization capabilities, even when it comes to the AI for inidivdual enemies is pretty cool. That will probably be splashed into many single player campaigns in the future.

    However, for a story driven game like The Last of Us, the narrative was awful. The first game had success due to the dynamic between Joel and Ellie. This dynamic only appears in the flashbacks in the sequel, and it is a stark difference from the rest of the game. Old characters seem to have been retroactively changed to fit the new story. Actions taken by them in the sequel would never have been taken by them in the original. New characters are incredibly difficult to relate to, and even when backstory is given, many decisions they make are very hard to empathize with.

    It seems like Naughty Dog wanted to create a game that simultaneously tarnished the memory of its predecessor and made anyone playing it miserable.    … Expand

Joel deserved better , I don't mind him dying was kinda expecting it (I avoided all spoilers before playing this) could have sent him off in an epic way like protecting Ellie or how John Marston died. To top it off they made me play as Abby and no matter how hard they tried to humanize her it just didn't work for me I already knew Abby had her reasons to kill Joel with out them tryna explain it to me for 10 hours and trying to make her likeable they tried so hard to make Ellie seem like the bad guy killing the pregnant lady killing the dog etc but each time Ellie killed Abby's friend it was self defence and or she showed emotion/regret where as Abby in that theatre scene was about to slit Deena's throat by while saying good despite knowing she is pregnant. And all the events in Jackson Seattle had no emotional toll on Abby she was happy dandy looking for fire flies where as Ellie was an emotional wreck and had PTSD. The lesson which naughtydog is tryna teach was revenge= bad thn why did it have the opposite effect on me where I wanted revenge till the end of the game and they couldn't even give me that, Joel wasn't avenged and Ellie lost everything.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of Us part 2, is a direct sequel to the beloved 2013 game with masterpiece storytelling called the Last of Us. The sequel, Last of Us part 2 left me confused and puzzled, but in the end it is an okay game, just not on par with the first game.
    So let's get this straight, TLOU2 has AMAZING visuals. Like really game looks fantastic graphically, and the gameplay elements are mostly the same as the first game. The acting of the actors, without judging the roles they play is also phenomenal. They did a truly great job in this section of the game.
    Now comes the most hated section. The writing of the game.
    The Last of Us part II's writing is average. For something as good as last of us, the story is a bit bland and is a generic revenge based story. There are quite some plot holes and lots of confusion at times. Characters introduced are bland and uninteresting and their motives are not well explained either. Character development is barely done, and you can't even connect with most new characters unlike the characters from TLOU 1. Relationships are just thrown in and out randomly without any actual development. Unlike most critic reviews, the characters are really forgettable.
    *
    *Spoilers below**

    Joel's death early in-game causes Ellie to be enraged to take revenge from Abby, but at the end she forgives her. I found the ending foolish but as I replayed the game a few more times I understood it. The game's story revolves around the cycle of revenge. If Ellie killed Abby, her friends would take revenge from Ellie and so on. Ellie apparently ended this cycle and moved on from grieving for Joel.

    This was an interesting theme of a story, but really poorly implemented. The writing has to be the biggest flaws of this game and the reason why everyone hates this game. Not because people are homophobic or Anti-LGBT, it's just because the people generally dislike the flaws of the story. 2ndly, you get to play as Abby, (who killed Joel) without any main backstory! You get only few flashbacks and move on in control of her, with the game showing these minor flash back moments so the player could "sympathise" with Abby.

    The biggest reason for the hate against Naughty Dog is their inability to acknowledge the flaws of the game or the general dislike of it from some of their fans. If they had acknowledged their opinion instead of calling them homophobic and not have a very high ego, things might have played a bit differently.

    So yeah I give this game a 7/10 because honestly, 0-1 reviews make no sense, if you give that number review to this game, you really haven't played games worth 1/10's. TLOU2 is far more worth than a 1, despite its obvious flaws.    … Expand

Things I want them to do is either make a third game or a spin off of her going to try and find Dina and J.J. and make things happy between them again, that would be a good ending to the sequal, I honestly wouldn't care if there was no fighting in the game at all and us just having fun with Dina and J.J., I just want to end this sequal off on a good note.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To me there are borderline rules for story plots -- food is worthless as long as it is toxic, even if it looks good and smells attractive. A game is worthless as long as it is obnoxious to the point you lose your appetite to play. It is a pity for those reviewers that had to play (assuming they did) through and yet had to lie for whatsoever reason.

    I cannot understand how characters from the prequel went casually consumed for nothing. This is a betrayal to players who went for the game for all the reputation it had before. And no, I don't even want to talk about unrealistic character design or what. It is the very first scene of the game that ruins the whole experience, which is almost impossible to salvage -- and of course they didn't end good enough to pull it back. I was in a shocked state throughout and had no idea what was I playing.

It is spectacular and deserves to be considered a Masterpiece. So, I avoided the spoiler leak until I finished the game, but finally googled it to see what all the fuss was about. Reading what it was, I ended up laughing my a** off. To keep it vague and spoiler-free, the leak spoils a scene that happens very early in the game, informs you that you will play as another character besides Ellie, makes a claim/prediction that DOES NOT happen, and exposes very lightly of the theme of the story. Cheers to all the people that hate a 11hr story in cutscenes because of a very early-game scene. It is fair to say if you hate it, it is simply because you did NOT play it.

    Anyway, rant over. Let us actually review the game. I do not want to include too many details because it is a wonderful experience and should not be spoiled. The story is amazing, and to be completely honest I felt more closure with The Last of Us now than I did 7 years ago. Just play the game and see for yourself.

    Now for the gameplay, it is perhaps the most realistic and immersive video game I ever played. It is as detailed and visually beautiful as RDR2 or perhaps even better. I believe it is a huge step-up from the first one. It definitely adds a lot more variety, just the ability to prone alone adds a whole new experience to the game with abilities to hide better, crawl in long grass, crawl under tight spaces, shooting/throwing on your side/back, etc. Some of the level-designs for encounters are perhaps some of the best stealth playgrounds I have seen to date. To avoid spoiling the surprise, I would vaguely explain them based on my experiences. In any given encounter, you choose how you want to approach the situation whether it is stealth or guns n blazing. The AI is pretty aware and intelligent (on survivor mode at least), and their patrols are not so straightforward. They even look around in a very realistic manor rather than an AI that never checks over their own shoulder. Going back to list some examples of the playground: you can prone in long grass, cause distractions by throwing bottles/bricks or shatter glass on vehicles/buildings, place trap mines to bait enemies on your trail, lure runners/clickers into humans, climb structures to get the higher ground, swim in water to stealth through, etc… you get the point. There are some areas you even can prone in shallow water, not many games especially FPS games contain such a feature, you literally get to swim in 1ft deep water. You can obviously use it to your advantage to sneak around even more. The purpose of this list is to demonstrate just how much of a variety each encounter delivers. I died a lot on Survivor mode, and let me tell you, many of my last checkpoints played out so differently because of all the factors this game has. Overall, one can argue that the stealth may not be as in-depth compared to franchises such as Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid, but it is definitely in the conversation.

    My favorite part of the game is easily the executions. I played 28+ hr and I still see new executions, you get a handful of different melee weapons, and can use them all in different actions to see other animations: sprinting and meleeing, sneaking and meleeing, dodging and meleeing, each one has a different animation-execution for each weapon…Bonkers! What also makes the game so fantastic is how beautiful it plays in its unscripted moments. TLoU2 perhaps has a few scripted areas, which are pretty intense. But the real beauty is during your encounters, watch any given clip on YouTube and you will be asking yourself if that sequence of actions were scripted or not. I cannot tell you how many times I was left in awe because of it.

    Story: 10/10 (Emotional, dark, heavy, story with a fantastic theme)

    Detail: 10/10 (I do not even know where to begin, blood tracking from your shoes after stepping in a puddle of blood, realistic character animations when navigating unscripted areas, you can even shine your flashlight in your companion’s face and they squint + look away. It is incredible detail)

    Level-Design/Environments: 10/10 (Exploring areas can take you 5-45 min depending how you choose to play, creative enemy encounters)

    Puzzles: 6/10 (Nothing challenging but some had me thinking for a few minutes, they do not compare to Uncharted/Tomb Raider/Zelda/etc puzzles. Mainly all revolve using a rope with some critical thinking)

    Audio: 10/10 (Amazing soundtrack, realistic atmospheric sounds)

    Replayability: 5/10 (Once you finish story mode on hardest difficulty and 100% there is nothing left to do for most players)

    It is a shame for all the hate Naughty Dog is receiving for this game. Please finish the whole game first to see the whole story, and then rate it. The game is broken up in flashbacks throughout, seeing 2hr out of a 20+ hr does nobody justice.    … Expand

LIKE ARE U SERIOUS!!!! like this is just pathetic its like they were trying to kill their own game with their own hands and they had a chance to fix this mess in the farm scene when u return to the moment joel was being tortured they could hv made everything like a dream but no they just had to ruin the incredible franchise and if they do a part 3 with no joel in it no 1 will buy it bec this game cant be called the last of us with no joel in it , part 2 should hv been about the last 4 years after the hospital scene only and see how ellie and joel relationship develop and ellie slowly starts to discover the truth and end it with that scene when she told joel we r done and walks away now that would be a great cliffhanger for part 3 and make part 3 about this revenge or whatever u were trying to do and dont kill joel this way make him die protecting ellie like literally when he fell on that iron pipe in the last of us 1 that would hv been a better death than this so this shows how bad this death is for such a big and lovable character to all fans… Expand

    The masterpiece. Really strong story with a deep meaning. Game is cruel, but this cruelty is neccery to fully reveal the main idea of the game. Graphics and atmosphere are awesome. Gameplay is similar to the first part, but still is a pleasure. You have a plenty options to deal with your foes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel death was a nightmare for this game, there should be some reason to kill him, he killed many people to save Ellie , then everyone's sons or daughters should come behind him and kill this character. I loved ellie in this entire game, she was very sad , dispite dinna was with her but she was always kissing Joel and she knew it if there is anyone who can take care of her that is joel only.… Expand

    One of the best games i've ever played. It is a game that delivers what must be delivered, not what kids want. If you want to have the best experience um video games, play it! If you want to see something superficial and industrial as a product, i advice you to watch a princess movie.

    Where the graphics, audio design, and gameplay are fantastic, and the settings abundant, the game fails on every other front. The story is illogical, beginning with a rejected Part 1 plot that was deemed "unrealistic", and continues to try so hard to differentiate itself from tropes that it ends up becoming a mess of trying to "subvert expectations" and have "deep and meaningful" messagesWhere the graphics, audio design, and gameplay are fantastic, and the settings abundant, the game fails on every other front. The story is illogical, beginning with a rejected Part 1 plot that was deemed "unrealistic", and continues to try so hard to differentiate itself from tropes that it ends up becoming a mess of trying to "subvert expectations" and have "deep and meaningful" messages and themes. This game is trying to be high art like Part 1 which is primarily why it fails. The Last of Us was a game and story FIRST and high art was simply a byproduct of it being near-perfectly constructed, a game sitting with some of the best of all time like Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2, etc. The first title in the series had tons of character, as well as an engrossing overall design. Linear levels pulled you into the strategy and claustrophobia of the world the characters waded through, the feel of the controls matched the character you would play, the narrative made sense, had layers, and the CHARACTERS were complex (without being cluttered) while believable and diverse. The narrative of this title is not only weak in its foundations, but systematically dismantles any possible redeeming factors in favor of appealing to the ideals of the director. The themes are resurrected from the first title, and are much poorer, which in no small part is due to the degradation in character value. Each new character is 1 or 2 traits of a part 1 counterpart, hyperbolized to a fatiguing degree, and solidified as boring by being treated as a person of MODERN society. It fails to embrace the fantastic world crafted by the first game, as well as the stronger design of having only a select few great characters, rather than an ensemble of mediocrity. The pacing of the game is atrocious and borderline mind-numbing as you are bogged down with awful characterization and a bad representation of not only fundamental archetypes, but the very themes the game is trying to push as positive. Representation is not new, the first title had Bill and Ellie, with hints that even David or some of his men were of a different persuasion than someone like Joel or Tess, however since this hardly impacted the story and only flavored the character profiles, representation being the driving motivation for those traits being in the game, the character personalities came first and were respected, with their thoughts and feelings about the world and people around them taking center stage. In part 2, you are constantly reminded of the diversity and importance of the representation being had, and thus the story is given a backseat to agenda. Rather than being character traits that can enhance the interpersonal dialogues between characters of varying purposes, it is now the first hour of the game's dialogue, and several more hours later. This is another issue with Part 2. Where part one enhanced an easy to follow and well-constructed plot with subplots and worldbuilding (think about the notes of Ish), part two instead spends an inordinate amount of time outside of free gameplay, which takes a backseat to what is essentially a walking simulator. While most complain about the LGBTQ or death of Joel, I only resent the lack of proper implementation of both ideas, which becomes even clearer when you remember Bill, Henry, and Sam in part 1,

    Overall, The Last of Us Part 2 is the epitome of wasted potential and lazy writing. Subversions exist for the sake of subverting only and carry no true weight, the game is a sloth-race of waiting just to get to a single fantastic gameplay segment (only for it to be over quickly), the characterization is lazy and boring with little development making sense or even remaining consistent to its own canon (Part 1 Ellie had the giraffe scene to show that she could fully recover from the damage caused by David and would never lose hope and positivity, which part 2 ignores to give us the same girl who never got to see the giraffes), and the story is a nonsensical mess with little to offer anyone seeking an improvement over part one. The game is painstakingly mediocre which is awful to come out of such a well-regarded studio in a series that shook the world with the quality of the first title. I believe this game is a waste of money and should only be played by patient people who want a very casual game that fakes emotional weight by using fantastic audio and visual design combined with bad storylines and characterization leading into events that can only really be described as shock-value moments while ignoring the tone and world established in the series in favor of modern personal agenda held by the director. Truly a sad sequel for one of the best games of all time. I hope you found this helpful.

    Hopefully, this series follows the structure of the Devil May Cry franchise. A fantastic first game, an awful sequel, and then the third installment being a prequel that surpasses the original title in all ways. Thank you for reading.    … 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]
