    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay muito boa, ótimos gráficos. Mais infelizmente o jogo peca um pouco na parte da história, pois na minha experiência com o jogo meu foco era matar a Abby qualquer custo mais não é o que acontece. Na minha percepção a pessoa que saiu pior na situação foi a Ellie, também uma parte bem ruim do jogo e a do jogo é a enrolação principalmente jogando com a Abby. Na minha opinião todo mundo que jogou o primeiro tem que jogar esse, mais tendo em mente que pode se chatear um pouco com o jogo com o fator historia Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The fact that people have been giving this game a zero is disrespectful. I understand that people are angry because of Joel's death. I get that, it's a very sad and dark moment for all fans, I was super pissed, and that fact that they had the guts to make us ,the players play, as Abby for the whole second half the game was disgusting. However, i soon realized that this was a vital move for the theme of this story. Even though playing as Abby is my least favorite part of the game that section brought to the table what the first game brought. Two people randomly meeting each other developing a special bond creating some of the best story moments in the game. Abby meets and interacts with some of the best characters I have seen in video games this past generation. This also allows the player to see both sides of the spectrum showing why Abby does what she does. Even though this game tried its hardest to make me sympathize for Abby, I just never could. Instead I always saw myself caring for the characters around her like Lev, Yara, and Owen but never her. So this makes it tens times harder for the player whenever it comes down to the moment when "crap hits the fan" and certain character suffer from terrible fates. However in some cases this games story does feel all over the place because of the random flashbacks in key moments that draw you away from the main story. Also the looting after killing dozens of men and the characters just super cheery and talking to each other like nothing happened bothers me. But these moments do not justify the right to give the game a zero. You can tell just by the loading screen this game has some much hardwork and dedication poured into it and over thousands of hours of work put into it. It really is a beautiful game and the gameplay is phenomenal. This game really shows the full potential games can reach in the next generation. Lets get back to the discussion of the story. Even though it may seem like just a classic revenge story with the whole story showing why revenge is "bad" it is way deeper. Naughty Dog whole point of this game is to go beyond and do something no one has ever done. Each characters decisions feel like they have impact and weight to the world, and it gives you this feeling that you will not know what happens next. This game made me UNCOMFORTABLE, I felt like any second a character I loved would soon have their life drained from their bodies leaving me with a feeling of dread constantly. Showing how truly evil human beings are. The story is not supposed to make people happy. *THIS IS NOT A HAPPY GAME* it is eery dark and scary. Every choice Ellie and Abby make are not good and alot of the times questionable. Because of this I was left speechless and sad over the things I had done to these people even though it seems like they deserved it. Even though playing the game through Abby ultimately hurt the game and killed the story for alot of people, and me to a certain extent, I believe that is the whole purpose. The point of this game is not to be happy with the outcomes but to be mad and frustrated with what happens because life is not always a happy story. That's why TLOU Part II is simply one of the best games I have ever played. Because it shows us what the dark side of humanity is. Expand

Considero que es un juego sólido, con un gameplay perfecto que mejora muchísimo el anterior, si bien no es mejor, si la considero una digna secuela, que trata de enmarcar la venganza y las consecuencias, si bien su historia segun muchos es mala, lo veo como un muy buen cierre, ahora voy a platinarlo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first review ever on this site. I refer to metacritic very often to determine whether or not a game is worth my hard earned money. I just finished the game and I can say its worth every penny. People are complaining about “hidden agendas” and “poor story telling” when a majority just get pissed off about the leaks they saw without context or within Playing the first 2 hours of the game. Everyone had their dream setting and outcome for this game and for most people this game is different. It personifies the villains. It demonizes heroes. But it does it logically and it is genuinely a great story. Combat is improved. Soundtrack is amazing. Graphics are excellent. My advice is to to buy this game but take time to read the notes in the streets. Look at characters expressions throughout the story. Think about yourself in each characters shoes and it really is a realistic adaptation of this apocalyptic world. I loved every minute of it and I’m happy for it to be a part of my collection. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally really enjoyed this game, the animation, voice acting etc.. . I’m going to start with my negative of the game, this being the amount of time you play as Abby, I love what they did and thought this was a great concept but I felt it dragged on for a bit to long, the flashbacks were great revealing why she killed Joel, her battle against the terrifying Rat king was one if not the best boss fights across the two games, the decent down the skyscraper was sick and the fight vs Ellie was really cool as it allowed us to see our own tactics used against us, everything else I felt could have been shortened or scrapped if that meant the loss of the decent down the skyscraper part I would be perfectly happy to see that go if it meant I finished playing as Abby sooner. But other then that I really enjoyed the game and would highly recommend it to someone who enjoys a good story game. I think my favorite parts of the game were 1. Ellie and Joel flashback scenes I don’t even need to explain why i loved these scenes 2. Ellie and Joel’s final conversation the day before Joel’s death, this was beautiful as it shows Ellie’s strength as she begins to learn how to forgive Joel, this I think was one of my favorite scenes as it brought up all my emotions from playing the game. 3. The uniqueness of the entire game, I have Played the first game which was unreal although both are similar in play styles this story is very unique and something I am willing to get behind. Great job Neil and team Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The death of Joel is a very good motivation to Ellie, but i think that it was not performed as well, a good ideia with a bad perfomed. I like the final, i think is a good final, ellie was cracked with revenge she lost people she loved like the jj and dina just for revenge and when she managed to execute her revenge she saw that it wasn’t all that, that revenge wasn’t going to take her problems away just caused more problems, so she let abby go
    I found Ellie's relationship with Dina good was not forced it flows well.
    The graphics are beautiful, for me the best graphics of the generation, very big scenarios and very good gameplay. The facial expressions are excellent, but I thought they had many similar faces in the game, little diversity. The enemies in the game are balanced between infected and humans. I loved seeing both sides of the coin, playing with ellie and abby, I thought it was great at first we hate abby for killing joel, but when we play with her we see that she is not bad joel took her father’s life, she took revenge for a reason a great reason. I think this game is not a sealer at any point, it is a game that shows ellie’s sexuality, nothing much and abby is just strong no more. this game is not a sealer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was incredibly disheartened when the leaks came out. I thought there was no possible way for the game to have all of those things happen and for me to enjoy it or feel anything besides pure anger. I was SO SO SO wrong.
    The heart of the original was what made it special. While this does have fewer moments that show that off, the moments that do REALLY do. I can safely say most of my favorite scenes from either game happened in the sequel.
    The game overall feels like the original; it is dark and violent but not any more than the first. While the first was mostly about doing what it takes to protect the ones you love, this one is about what it does to a person when they can’t.
    SPOILERS BELOW:
    The part that I was least looking forward to was playing as Abby. The game definitely surprised me by making her story one that eventually made me grow to tolerate her and even had me invested in the game. I think a big part of that was Lev. Love that little guy.
    However, I did not feel much for Abby even after playing as her for (far too many) hours. I think the creators made a mistake with how they decided to have her kill Joel. The whole game tries to parallel Abby and Ellie, but there are a few fundamental differences that make it impossible for me to like or side with Abby. The first and most important being the way she relishes in killing an torturing Joel. We see Ellie kill and torture Nora, but we see the impact it has on her after. The creators dug themselves into a hole that is impossible to come out of by showing Abby killing Joel in such a cruel way with absolutely no remorse. I also really struggled with the game trying to compare Joel killing Abby’s dad (to protect Ellie) to what Abby did to Joel. I’m sure that it felt no different to Abby but they are ABSOLUTELY not the same.
    I also have a hard time deciding how I feel about the final part of the game. I’m very conflicted. At first I absolutely wanted to see Ellie kill Abby and get revenge. The whole game, even as Abby, I just kept thinking “I cant wait for her to die!!!” Once Ellie decided to go find Abby, I felt angry about the decision. She had a family that she was giving up. It did not feel worth it to me. I did think that having her go due to her PTSD was a much more interesting choice than “SHE NEEDS VENGEANCE”. It almost made it seem like the right decision. To be totally honest I could have done without that final part completely. But, that final part was the first time I actually felt for Abby. During the final fight I just kept thinking “you’ve both been through so much, just stop” and I think that’s what the creators wanted of me.

    Overall, I really enjoyed the game. If they had made Abby kill Joel off screen (or in a way where she didn’t immediately get branded as an irredeemable person in every player’s mind) I think I would have been able to empathize with her more (and maybe even like her). Then the battle in the theater could have been the final and we could have gotten rid of the last part. It wouldn’t need to exist or feel as rushed and unnecessary as it did.

    I can safely say this is one of the most amazing peices of story telling this generation of games. I need to emphasize, if you've played any naughtydog games, they are experiental. What this means is you gain most of the context through the conversations between characters, through facial expressions, music and emotion portraid by the voice actors.

    There is a complex narrative that interweaves journeys from both sides, having you question who was right and who was wrong.

    Yes Joels death was heartbreaking, but the game spends 20 hours + fleshing out the why. By the end of the game i was torn between who i was vouching for.

    I urge you to bypass all the negative reaction you've seen, there has been a hate campaign against this campaign that started over 2 years ago when they talked about exploring Ellie's sexuality.

    Any reviews you read on here that score the game under 5 there's a high chance they haven't even played the game, even if you do not like the story and direction it's taken, there's an incredible game, technical masterpeice to experience.

    If you look at the majority of low reviews , they are from the day the game was released. Most people have opinions formed before the game even released.

    It's ridiculous to think you can form an opinion on the narrative without experiencing how it's delivered.

    cheers

    This is not a fairy tale is the interconnected story of people in a devastated world and is a very accurate picture of the human nature.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite what many “fans” of The Last of Us have been posting. It is plainly obvious that the majority of the negative reviews from gamers have been due to either, 1.) Homophobic ideals or 2.) They haven’t played the full game yet or just decided to hop on the band wagon for negativity. The story is amazing, yea it has a few minor flaws in it, but the response to it has been pointless and illogical. The graphics are absolutely stunning and the gameplay is nearly perfect. I have finished the game in its entirety 2 times as of writing this. No, I am not lying about that. I can just say that it is a very well crafted game that is deserving of the title and is a perfect follow up to the first game. Joel may have been killed very early on in the game, but, he also was well aware that after killing all of those Fireflies, people would try and kill him. He was clearly calm in his last few moments of life because he knew it was going to happen sooner or later. People are whining about how Ellie had no problem with killing all of the other people who were in Abby’s group but not Abby. She never intended to kill them, they attempted to fight back while being interrogated and Ellie defended herself. When Ellie finally confronted Abby in the end of the game, she came to the realization that Abby was in many ways just like her. I get that Joel died and I was pissed off about it, but as the game progressed I began to realize that Abby didn’t deserve to die and neither did any of her friends. So before anyone tries to write a negative review for this game, I highly reccomend you read this post in its entirety and for many people, I reccomend you actually play the game or at least finish playing it before you decide to trash talk it. I am glad I was smart enough that I didn’t get anything spoiled for me because unlike many people I chose to steer clear of any third-party info on The Last of Us Part II because I wanted to experience everything myself for the first time. So either, play this game or don’t buy it and stop posting unknowledgable reviews on a game that you have never even played. These developers worked hard to make this game and their work shows. The game is worth every penny in my opinion and I felt like it was nessicarry to post this review because I at least know what is going on and I have also played the game twice and have a better understanding of the story. I hate seeing the negativity towards great games like this because it is unwarranted and honestly it damages people’s reputation. So if you have been wanting to play this game and/or you aren’t sure if you should buy it or not, I can say that from my experience, it is worth the money. I can’t force anyone into buying it but I can let people know that I have enough time played on this game to make a fair review for this fantastic game. *Again* don’t look at every negative review and believe it, because, more often than not, the person reviewing the game has either not finished it or doesn’t even own the game to begin with.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Less of a review and more of an explanation of the story from my perspective. I don’t understand people’s hate for this game, I finally finished the story yesterday, it is truly a story that needs to be played out to its end. The Last of us Part II plays out the repercussions of the first game in a telling and challenging way through the unveiling of people connected to those affected by the choices of our characters in the first game, leaving us with a moral dilemma that examines what it truly means to seek revenge over forgiveness.

    This is most prevelant between the characters of
    Ellie and Abby as a parallel to the larger factions of the wolves and the Seraphites. In many ways Abby’s story mirrors Joel’s in the first game, where he was a cold, emotionally suppressed smuggler trying to hide away from his daughters death and finding redemption in Ellie. Abby is a cold, revenge fueled girl who has channeled her rage into hunting down Joel, physically and emotionally preparing herself for years on and to face Joel for murdering the fireflies including her own father. And she pursues this at the behest and sacrifice of her own friends. Joel’s redemption began not with saving Ellie from the fireflies but with finally telling Ellie the truth. His gruff, violent smuggler was no more, Ellie’s relationship broke down his walls on the first story arc and he is no longer as suspicious, as quick to act violently or as trusting of his own instincts because his actions against the fireflies have left him seeking moral redemption. This allows him to fall right into Abbys trap, because in saving her from the infected he is playing out this emotional redemption. The last of us part 2 challenges us by showing the repurcussions of a tribalistic society, brilliantly executing a parallel between the Seraphites, the Wolves, the Jackonson-ites and the Fireflies. Particularly the conflict between the Seraphites and the Wolves. Throughout the game as Ellie pursues Abby and Abby seeks redemption for what she has done to Joel we see a stark parallel between the warring tribes that have a stake in the fallen city of Seattle. Each faction believes they are doing something righteous for their cause, and each faction is sacrificing something immeasurable to achieve it. This rings true with Ellie as she is willingly blinded by her pursuit of revenge, whilst suppressing what is revealed to be her intimate knowledge of the gravity of what Joel did to deserve his death. It is not until she loses everyone entirely and faces Joel for what he was, the closest thing she had to a father, doing what he did best, that she realises the gravity of her actions and let’s Abby go. Abby grapples with the guilt of killing Joel throughout the story, justifying her actions through letting Ellie and Tommy survive. It is not until she realise they have gone onto seek revenge themselves that she again pursues revenge. Having saved Lev and lost all allegences to her tribal societies Abbys morality has finally adjusted, she believes in the light once again and when finally faced with Ellie in the theatre she again spares her life. Knowing that her redemption is worthless if she chooses to kill Ellie. The penultimate struggle of the story is in the burning down of the island with the war raging between the wolves and the Seraphites, destruction begets destruction, revenge breeds revenge. Ellie lets go of her promise at a future with Dina for one last pursuit of revenge, leaving Jackson and seeking out Abby one last time. It is in this final conflict, where Ellie cuts down Abby and realises that Abby is uninterested in this battle between, already broken by her capture by rattlers, that Ellie faces her true conflict. Her pursuit of Abby was not one of revenge of Joel’s death, but one of unresolved trauma and pain caused by Joel’s actions. She wasn’t ready to forgive Joel when he died, that was a process still unfolding, he took away her life having meaning in her eyes, he killed people to save her and never cared to think if that’s what she would want. what fuelled her anger was that Abby took away the opportunity to forgive him, to repair that damage, for her Abby represented the part of her that wished Joel had never done what he did. She can relate to her intimately, and ultimately lets her go, and in doing so let’s go of her hatred for Joel.

    In the closing scene when Ellie plays the guitar with her two missing fingers, the song is broken and worn as her hands are incapable of playing as they once did. She sets aside the guitar and walks away. Her resentment for Joel is no more, she understands why he did what he did, she accepts it and she has let go the piece of herself that held hatred for him.

    This ending leaves Abby to finally redeem herself in rejoining the fireflies and making peace with her choices and Ellie to make her life have the meaning she always wished it had since she was bitten.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU 2 is one of the most complex games I've played. Something similar happened to me while playing it, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2, in a way that both games involve difficult themes and characters which make the game more grounded and evolved, in a way. Anyway, some parts of the plot, specially the ending, requires special level of comprehension to reach to the peak of the game and the objective of the developers.

    ANYWAYS, I have a theory that may explain all the hate towards the game.
    What if the game was intended to backfire itself from all the hate that it is receiving? Let me explain. Everyone hates Abby from that crucial moment in the first 2 hours of the game, provoquing the player to react angrily after such a loss. Then we all see different perspectives from people who lost someone, both characters with there respective father figures. The game takes us to do horrible things, even ones we don’t want to take part of, from both sides again. The game is based on hatred and grief for our loved ones, regarding both main playable characters in the game and the player! Because it feels like the game passes over to us that hate, the players, and it’s up to us if whether we decide or not to follow the line of hate the characters are carrying out. Ellie wants to take revenge from the murder of his Joel, and Abby wants to take revenge from the murder of Jerry by Joel. It’s like the cycle of violence passes by to us and makes us really hate the game for all the "bad" decisions the writer has carried out. I believe that this might not be just a coincidence but a side-intention in the plot. This is why TROY BAKER, actor of Joel, reminds us to keep an open mind while playing throughout the game, because of how we need to understand it and why players should not rush by raging about it. I know I don’t know much how to express complex ideas but this one kept going around inside my mind and I needed to write it down.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog does it once again. The Last of Us: Part II is an amazing video game that is just as good as the last one. Within the first hour of gameplay there is a big surprise death that is not really all that surprising yet at the same time gut wrenching. Because of this death you go on an Adventure with Ellie and her partner Dina. To search for Abby in Seattle and get revenge for the death! Along the way you see tons of highs and falls not just with Ellie and Dina, but with Joel and Ellie, Jessie and Tommy! And even the backstory of Abby herself! These new characters are beautifully written and feel very natural and realistic. Every moment with them I felt like I believed in every relationship. What makes this game different than the last is you also play as Abby. This you learn why Abby did what she did. And why she has her quest for vengeance as well. This leads to you feeling confused on whether you support Abby or Ellie. In the end I felt both had respectable reasons as to there lust for revenge. Not only do you see Abby and why she wants revenge but you also get to play her in Seattle as well. And the two biggest character developments are from Ellie and Abby. Abby starts off a blind follower of the WLF’s who only wants revenge for her fathers death. However after being saved by a couple Scars she realizes this fight is not hers and decides something new is in place. So she decides to try finding the fireflies again. She goes from being a tough soldier seeking revenge. To a tough friend who no longer seeks violence. Ellie is on a complete opposite path in which she starts out sad and depressed about Joel lying to her about the fireflies. Then being mad and angry that she didn’t get the chance to give him a proper “I forgive you” and so she thinks getting revenge for his death will be a good forgiveness. However she realizes Joel wouldn’t want this a little to late because of the path she chose she lost everything she had, Love, Family, and a home.

    The only downside I saw from my 25 hours of playtime. Towards the middle of the storyline it does get boring and feels repetitive of the first two days, however that boredom is quick because once again you are thrust into a new story line and crazy punches to the face! Overall I give this game a 9/10. The great graphics, along with the great Story, and the Character Development. One thing for sure this game is definitely one of the best story mode games by far!


    (P.S. don’t listen to the reviews bashing the fact that Ellie is gay. This game does a great job of not forcing the fact that she is gay down your throat like some shows on TV do. Instead Naughty dog does a great job of making Ellie and her relationship feel like a real genuine relationship and person! Very natural and amazing!)

The last of us 2 is It is very practical with a very raw and functional story, the strengths of this game are the wonderful landscapes and the gameplay that makes you feel like you’re actually in the situation that the characters are involved, the bad things about this game is the way that the history is told because there are times when you feel confused and do not understand what is happening another bad point is the unnecessary role that plays Abby since the story is supposed to revolve around ellie and her thirst for revenge this causes the player to disconnect and lose the connection they have with the character but doesn’t matter because the story works well and does not end up disappointing you Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know why people keep saying that this game is bad. Not only the playability, the story telling for me is one of the best. I think everyone is pissed off due to Joel's death and Ellie's failed revenge. The idea of knowing another perspective playing as Abby is just astonishing, you start hating Abby in such a way that you can't control to wish her death, but you can realize that she isn't a bad person in such context, she was just trying to fulfill the same objective as Ellie's actual objective. The only thing that i may change is the end, that is a big detail but that doesn't implie that the game deserve a bad mark at all. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't understand why this game is getting so much hate (Review bombing apparently). The game was beautiful. The only reason I give it a 9/10 Instead of a 10 is because of the last 2ish hours, where you leave Dina and JJ and go back for your last chance at revenge. I get why Ellie did it, she needed to reach that point of full on revenge to realize that it would bring nothing but more suffering and sadness. I just wish she would have stayed with baby momma lol. It showed that the people in this world were all dealing with the same struggles as each other. Its a post apocalyptic world, did people really think Joel wouldn't die? He killed a hospital full of fireflies in pt.1 and no one that there would be repercussions? Lol I loved the first one so much and I think I loved this one just as much. I didn't like playing as Abby at first, especially the first like hour or so, but by the end I saw her and Ellie as equals. Everyone in this world is fighting for something, and the mirroring of their stories was done perfectly. I don't want a 3rd game though lol this ended perfectly. I'm happy with the game and that's all that matters to me. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me tell you why this game is great, it’s because by the end of it I had forgiven Abby! I felt it with Ellie!
    Yes there are times you feel that certain agenda are being shoved forcefully down your throat-all out of nowhere- still these same plots payed out by giving the protagonist depth, in my opinion.
    Throughout the game I felt I was in Ellie’s shoes
    I understood the difficulty of remembering loved one’s face, and being confused and angry after their death; I hated playing as Abby , but step by step I started to forgive her, the way events transpired felt realistic, yes Joel didn’t die all in the the blaze of glory, yet it felt real you know why, because in real life when a loved one dies suddenly and unexpectedly, you feel cheated same as you feel In this game, i was angry all through out the game but in those final moments I felt the release that Ellie felt ,and my heart was broken!
    Revenge is indeed a scary endless dark pit that consumes all.
    Gameplay, graphics, sound, and soundtrack is a huge improvement I think all would agree!

    Overall, a solid sequel that lives up to the quality of the first game. Brutal, punishing combat and out-of-this-world action sequences. Story falls a bit flat compared to the first game, but isn’t bad. A few bugs that impacted my enjoyment of the game, but nothing game breaking.

Pero lo que quiero destacar de este juego es el como genera estos sentimientos que pueden ser de traición, cambios de opinión de cada uno, sobre que está bien y que está mal, estos sentimientos que te genera que no son absolutamente nada fáciles de producir y mucho menos en un videojuego, el que lo hayan logrado con tal magnitud me parece algo casi imposible de producir.

The criticisms apparently are from those who have not yet finished and are as absurd as that "it has a ps3 graphic" "it is a walking simulator" .... The big problem with the game is that it wanted to address two stories that were not they feel good in the same game, maybe a short dlc with the story of abby would have been enough but no, they were ambitious and that shows. At times it feels a bit tiring but when the action comes its quality speaks for itself. Technically it is perfect, narrative there is something left to the debt. however, we may be asking for something too extraordinary for a game that lasts over 25 hours. Expand

Random characters conversation, the soldier that talks in the background but you have to stop what are you doing and listen, the small talks while you are doing puzzles and looting houses that some streamer just cut out because it' was looting and not the main plot t I think the most important reason that the game it's so negatively received its how players are attached to the first game and can not move on. It would be lying to say the story is absolutely perfect and not cliché. It isn't the best story but I think naughty dog tried really hard to make a game that has a much deeper theme for the first game. It's not the ending that I was hoping, but it's a ending that I am ok with. Expand

The last of us parte II è un opera semplicemente perfetta in ciò che vuole trasmettere, ci riesce alla perfezione, il giocatore proverà prima odio poi comprensione e dopo ancora rimorso per ciò che ellie farà, il gameplay è abbastanza semplice senza comandi particolari ma comunque tutt'altro che facile nei livelli di difficoltà più alti, cosa che comunque consiglio perché arricchisce il gioco in una maniera inaspettata grazie ad un IA superba.
    Ho notato solo che a volte ellie non prende perfettamente con mano gli oggetti ma spesso non ci si fa caso essendo comunque azioni di poco conto, per il resto nessun bug nessun problema di prestazioni anche su PS4 normale a parte il un problema a livello di rumore, insomma alla fine questo gioco potrà non piacere per alcuni fatti e temi trattati ma è impossibile non giudicarlo come uno dei migliori della generazione.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm starting this review off by saying Part 1 was an absolute masterpiece, and a HUGE act to follow. Naughty Dog gave themselves a very tough job to follow this up 7 years later.

    And yeah don't get me wrong - the catalyst that started the journey for Part 2, left me in total shock and disbelief. So much so I had to ask my partner for an objective opinion that what I saw on screen definitely happened! But that doesn't make it all the more shocking and gut-wrenching, which is exactly what Naughty Dog were going for. It got me emotionally invested in Ellie's quest for vengeance

    The graphics and gameplay are a great improvement from the first game, but the message is clear. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Look at what happened with Uncharted 4 - the gameplay wasn't too different, but everything from the story to the character development was excellent

    I like all the characters in TLOU2 - they are instantly likeable (or unlikeable as villains!) and they all have some humanity behind them. Even what Abby did, there was an emotional motivation for that happening.

    So this story won't please everyone sure. But if you think of it as a story that has been crafted by the minds of an absolute gem in Part 1, and not the story you had 100% planned in your mind for Part 2, then this is truly an outstanding game that can't be missed

    I remember when Days Gone launched and there was a similar **** show with youtubers hating on the game but the game being actually good.

    As I take it, this game tells a story inside a devastated world which I do think it's really nicely told, I enjoyed every moment. I do aknowledge the flaws but this will not make me give this game a score of 1, 2, 3 or 4... Doesn't make any sense. I do believe that at the moment there's a mob mentality ongoing and people's opinions are influenced by this.

    Once again, I'm not saying it's a master piece but it's a solid 9 / 10 without a doubt.. Just so it's understood, the only game (For me) that I think it's a master piece, it's the Witcher 3

    I want to Review the game based on Graphics, Game-play, Sound, Story, and replay ability.

Character facial expressions in and out of cut scenes really captures every emotion. Even in one scene you can stand in front of a mirror and Ellie makes faces and I was shocked
    I want to Review the game based on Graphics, Game-play, Sound, Story, and replay ability.

    Graphics - This game is remarkably beautiful. Naughty Dog did wonderful in putting detail from characters to environment. Character facial expressions in and out of cut scenes really captures every emotion. Even in one scene you can stand in front of a mirror and Ellie makes faces and I was shocked by the detail in the animation (out of cutscene moment).

    Sound - Gun shots sound realistic and I found myself breaking glass just for fun. You can hear rain fall change from tress and leaves to roofing and streets. Voice acting is top notch, just like it was in the first game.

    Gameplay - EVERY SHOT COUNTS. Ammo is very scarce. You will find yourself at times choosing to shoot, hide, or run. Honestly, at the beginning of the game I was taking the stealth option. But towards the end I started wanting to engage into combat more. AI is dumb at times, I can shoot from a spot of grass and then crawl over to another patch of grass and they lose my position. However, if you are going gun blazing, then enemies will flank you and sneak up behind you. Friendly AI is very helpful, telling you to WATCH OUT when a enemy is coming out of no where to slap you. But friendly AI also does that really annoy thing where they get in the dang way or block a door (they do move out of your way, but still a little annoying at times). Leveling is very nice. you are able to customize guns and skill trees. NO you can not fully upgrade weapons or character so make every up grade count. The skill tree separates from stealth to fighting and to crafting.

    Story - OH BOY, I'll try to do the best I can without spoilers. I actually enjoyed the story to some degree. It seriously kept my interest and had me staying up late just to see what happens next. The message of the story is a very good meaning (at least how I interpreted it). Do I agree with everything in the story? NO, I don't but it still kept me engaged and had me wanting to see what would happen next. The ending left a bland taste in my mouth. It wasn't good nor was it bad (kind of like the first game). I just don't like bouncing back and forth in the story (being very vague there but that's intended). My favorite part with the story is that it makes it so conflicting and makes you ride a emotional roller coaster. You get to see two sides of a coin and it make you second guess characters and actions.

    Replay ability - While I wish it had some, it doesn't. Once I beat the game I was basically done. Now if you are a trophy hunter then there is a lot of work to do. It does offer a New Game+ where you can replay the game with all your gear. But for me personally I'm pretty done and satisfied.

    Over all this game is AMAZING! The big question everyone might ask is "Do you like it more than the first game?". To answer that question, No. While I do enjoy this game I felt like the first story between Ellie and Joel was much better.

    Should you Buy this game new, buy on sale, or never touch it.
    My answer is wait for Sale. This game is really good but not $60 amazing. Maybe $45 or so. And its the replay-ability that does that for me. If you like the first one then I do recommend buying the Part 2 at full price if you want.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Standing on its own 8-8.5 out of 10. Amazing game, amazing music and amazing visuals but has some issues in the story but not as bad as people make out. But, if you scratch under the surface of the story these issues become apparent, and some forced narrative is present. Compared to Last Of Us Part 1 its a 5 out of 10 but that was a hard act to follow no matter what, they did the best they could to make it unique but follow on.
    This is a really fun game (if you liked the first one) with a good story but one that is far over-shadowed by the first games story.
    I was gripped from moment one and was hooked until the end (even the second section which annoyed me at first grew on me), I was excited, annoyed, frustrated and happy. A game that can push such emotions on you is a good game and sometimes some of the questionable things characters do I think is done on purpose as they are meant to be humans with flaws that make mistakes and have internal thoughts we are no privy to.
    Just to put out there it feels more like playing a movie than the first with less player in-put but that is not a issue. I can see why this is not everyone's cup of tea.
    If you loved the first game you will enjoy this game even if its not as well written as the first. If you disliked or were unsure or just jumped on the hype train about the first you will leave this game feeling the same if not a little worse. Its not as bad as the salty reviews make out at very worse its a 6/10 at best pushing a 8.5/10. It has a good story and could of been a 9-9.5/10 if the pieces were placed in different orders(play it and you will understand what I mean. It could have worked a lot better, this is my main issue with the game.
    Note: Play on hard don't go in on easy or middle-ground this game is meant to be played on hard for best experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Parte II é uma experiência única, para o bem ou para o mal. Eu entendo as críticas negativas, mas não consigo concordar com quem diz que esse jogo não tem nenhum valor. Só pela gameplay excelente e gráficos lindos de morrer ele já vale no mínimo 5. Além disso, a trama, quer você goste ou não, é envolvente, isso não tem como negar. Quanto à qualidade da história, essa é a parte onde as coisas ficam realmente subjetivas. Fiquei um dia sem tirar esse jogo da cabeça depois que eu terminei, e não por um motivo ruim, mas porque ele me fez sentir coisas que eu nunca tinha sentido (ou pelo menos não nessa intensidade) e que até agora eu ainda acho difícil explicar. Não é o jogo que eu queria. Definitivamente não. Mas é o jogo que eu precisava. É o jogo que o mundo precisa entender nesse momento que estamos vivendo. E é um jogo que está escancarando quem nós somos por dentro, e isso às vezes não é bonito de se ver. Talvez por isso muita gente não esteja gostando, não sei. Talvez por isso eu tenha relutado de início. É quase um experimento social. Ele te força a desenvolver empatia e aceitar que você não é o centro do universo, e que ações ruins têm consequências ruins. Para todo mundo. Mas as pessoas são egoístas, eu incluso, então claro que muitos não iriam gostar. A meu ver, a Naughty Dog sabia disso, e mesmo assim se arriscou para passar a mensagem incrível que eles queriam passar com esse jogo. Para mim, a pior parte do jogo está sendo ver como algumas das pessoas que estão reagindo negativamente simplesmente não querem entender essa mensagem. Essa é a lição que eu tiro do jogo, no fim das contas: a humanidade é podre porque se recusa a entender que o outro é você e você é o outro, assim como todas as consequências dessa afirmação.
    Se o primeiro é 10, esse é 9 só por um motivo. Joel merecia ter tido mais tempo de tela (e de gameplay) e ter sido mais respeitado. Não tenho nada contra a forma como ele morreu nem com ele ter morrido no início do jogo, mas a cena da morte dele ainda é muito estranha de assistir. Realmente foi mal roteirizada, ele parece outro personagem. Ah, sem contar a propaganda enganosa da Naughty Dog, mas aí já não diz respeito ao jogo em si. Fora isso, o jogo é perfeito, simplesmente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a beautiful masterpiece. When I first started part two I knew I was in for one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride, given the first one made me feel so much for the characters we grew to love. But I also went in with an open mind because we were playing from another protagonist's perspective, meaning we had to experience new hardships and thoughts. And I believe that naughty dog has done a very good job with this game, giving us the chance not only to look at the series of events from Ellie's point of view but as well as our antagonist Abby as well. The combat is very smooth in this game, every zombie attack feels real, every gunfight makes you nervous. The graphics were out of this world from the blood, sweat, and tears. To the environment, we encountered throughout the game. The small things in this game such as playing guitar or experiencing a flashback make you sympathize with the characters and long for simpler times. I'd rate this game a 9.5/10 Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games I played this year. Despite all the controversy, I think that as a whole the story is beautifully harsh and real. It tells a story of a girl who got her heartbroken and lost herself to anger. And on the flip side, it’s also a story of redemption. Joel’s actions affected Abby. Abby’s actions affected Ellie. Ellie’s actions affected Abby. It’s a cycle of violence that stopped when they decided not to kill each other. When Ellie made the choice not to kill her.

    The ending, however bittersweet, has a sliver of hope when it comes to Ellie and Dina. Perhaps explored in a DLC? I sure hope so. My only complaint is some parts of the story I felt were dragging. But it seems every time I started thinking ‘man I’ve been exploring without action for a while’, I would get jumped or something crazy happened.

    The action was insane, the gameplay was solid and the world we got to explore was simply breathtaking

    Spectacular game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The user review section of Part 2 just serves to show how the gaming community was not yet ready for a game like this - it's as upsetting as a post apocalyptic world should be, and it's only normal that ALL characters behave in a gruesome way.

    In my opinion, Joel's actions in the first game, especially in the hospital, are as horrible as Abbie's and Ellie's, being it because of personal vendetta or love. In the end, the greater good is completely forsaken and all that's left is grief. We just didn't get to see the fireflies side, so no one thought about that.

    This game portrays this dicotomy in a absolutely masterful way, so hats off for that.

    In terms of gameplay/visual effects/animation, it is in a league of it's own.

    The only reason I do not give it 10/10 is Joel's death and how it happens - possible that him and Tommy got softer over time, but still. Part 1 Joel would never bond like that straight away.

    Once again, thank you ND team for a another brilliant masterpiece... And look forward to the DLC!

Not agreeing with the story doesnt mean it's a bad story, the story is objectively well written and perfectly executed. It makes you feel intense emotion and a bad story cant do that.

    [Finished the game on hard difficulty]

    I'm not sure how many times I've played through The Last of Us (Part I). Too many times, probably. One of the key things that keeps making it worth revisiting is the characters and the way they interact with one another. Joel and Ellie are written in a way that feels so true and natural, and that goes for the rest of the characters too.
    This quality carries over perfectly into Part II. This game presents a story that's much darker than what was served up in the first game. Even though Part I was certainly dark, the core theme of the game's story was that of finding hope in a world that feels lost. The themes of Part II are much heavier, dealing with the cyclical nature of violence, the futility of revenge, and losing yourself to hatred. But much like the first game, it's all carried by the excellent character work.
    As the game takes Ellie down an increasingly darker path, she's still given little personal moments with her loved ones that serve to flesh out the humanity in the characters. These interactions feel just as natural and charming they did in Part I. The story plays out in a pretty surprising way, which I won't spoil, where it forces you to consider the humanity of the people that you're killing. It's less so a revenge story as much as it is a story about turning into the very monster you've sought to destroy.
    There are two caveats to the story telling that stuck out to me though. One is that it gets a bit overindulgent with time jumps and flashbacks, which kind of trips up the pacing and the flow of continuity a little bit. The other is that it does drag a bit at times. There are a few parts where I was wondering how relevant what I was seeing is to the overall story. But even through those parts I wasn't too bothered, because the characters are still interesting to follow and I was busy enjoying the gameplay. Which brings me to...

    The gameplay is just as solid as it was in the previous game, with some extra polishes and tweaks added on top. Encounters with infected people remain nerve-racking, the scarcity of supplies keeps the tension high, fights against human enemies feel even more brutal than in the first game and most importantly, you get to play fetch with a dog.
    Exploring the remains of human civilization, catching glimpses of the lives of people who came before is still a great and, at times, harrowing experience.
    If you played Part I and enjoyed the gameplay, then Part II totally delivers.

    The graphics are top notch. Just stellar. I don't know what else to say on the subject. Try turning the camera around to Ellie's face from time to time just to see how much care was put into her contextual facial expressions. She'll smirk or frown or display whatever relevant emotion she may be feeling during incidental conversations during gameplay. You could play the whole game just staring at her back and never see this. There are so many little details like this in the animations, scenery and environmental storytelling that take this game to the next level. The devs didn't need to do any of that. But they did. Because they love you and this game is how they show it.

    The Last of Us Part II feels like a worthy, but challenging, successor to a classic. This could've been an easy retread that doesn't take any chances. It could've just put Ellie and Joel on another journey across the country, filled with hero moments and easy to process "kill the bad people" scenarios. But instead it goes for a more nuanced and difficult to digest story that makes you think about the characters and their morality.

    Oh, also the game has like gay people and women in it or something (wow, just like real life!) If you find that difficult to deal with then I guess you're not ready for this game yet. Give it time. We all grow up eventually.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is focused on the progression of time.
    Game starts with Joel cleaning a guitar to give to Ellie. A metaphor. He's cleaning his past, it doesn't go away. Yet he tries the best that he can, he gives the guitar to Ellie. Time passes, when he gives it to Ellie, he tells her a joke:

    what's the downward of eating a clock? It's time consuming.

    All the game revolves around this. Spending time doing things we think might be important, wasting time because those action take us away time to do things we really like with people we love.
    Revenge is one of those time wasting actions.
    This point is carried till the very end of the game.

    A specific fact puts everything in motion. In the prologue, Joel is killed by Abby. That's where the game starts.
    We're put in Ellie's shoes seeking revenge. That's not a "bad scene", that's not "bad writing". That's the main plotline, that's what people miss about this (maybe because they didn't even play the game).

    So, we're in Ellie's shoes and we are going after the WLF, Washington Liberation Front, a rebel group. Most of the game we're her seeking revenge. The narration lasts for 3 days, with flashbacks from the very end of The Last of Us to the very start of The Last of Us Part II. There's also another point of view. Abby's point of view, the one who killed Joel. Narration, takes the same diegetic timing, three days and four years flashbacks.

    We then discover Abby avenges his father's dead killing Joel. And Ellie avenges Joel killing everyone Abby loved.
    Everything is cyclical. Revenge brings even more revenge. Death brings death.

    The Last of Us revolves around the impossibility to separate what's bad from what's good. Subjectivity and pragmatism has always been the main focus of the first game. In the end we're left with just question, was Joel right? He saved the only person he really cared about, but he left the rest of the world dying. They put the whole Abby's story to be certain that you could understand that all the people (and sigh dogs) you killed with Ellie (and you didn't care about, because they were just NPCs) were actually someone for someone else than you. That's the whole point of both games. Choiches. Consequences.
    In the first game we're left with Joel killing people to save the one he really loves. Someone kills him because of this. Was he right? He killed for a loved one. Was Abby right? She also killed for a loved one. The point is: everyone is right, everyone is wrong. They did what they did because they felt it was the right thing to do. It was not the same for other people.

    In the end after a year, we are almost in another world, but Ellie is restless and still wants to kill Abby. She finds her a few states far, in California, where she's been held captive and tortured for two whole months. Ellie tries to kill what's left of her again, but in the end she gives up.
    Abby was wrong keeping on with the revenge loop, killing Joel. Ellie makes the right decision. She's not like Abby, she can be better. Yet she wasted a lot of time trying to have justice, when it was just another revenge. In the end, there's no one for her anymore. But, at the same time she found herself again, breaking the cycle, not killing anyone. That's the point.

    In the first game we save Ellie, someone else dies.
    In both games we kill people, someone else life will be over.

    I too felt like **** seeing Joel dying. But that's the whole point of the game. We feel like **** That's what a character might have felt seeing someone who they cared for dying. The game aimed for that "feel like **** feeling", they wanted you to feel anger against Abby. But in the end it tries to explain that anyone can "feel like **** every one can feel anger. Abby too.
    In conclusion, you felt like **** That's good because you were supposed to feel like **** but you're supposed to understand that you're not the only one. And who's right being angry? Everyone. You are justified in your anger, so Abby was. At the same time, no one. Someone you loved died, someone who they loved died too. If you want a punishment in a dialectical meaning, you also get it. Both Ellie and Abby lost everyone they loved at the hands of the other one, except for one only person. In the end Abby is also captured and tortured, a semi-extradiegetic revenge always used in storywriting, where the revenge is not served in the main plot but it is by something in the same universe.

    Characters makes you feel in world full of people, as opposed to the first game. You're not the only one fighting this, you got supportive people all along the way. And this is the main difference from the first game. You have someone to fight for. You have someone who would fight for you.

    Level design changes a bit from the first game, as gameplay does. It's built in a more vertical way, and the world is biggerUnfortunatelly nomorespace i canttalk more about characters+gameplay+leveldesign bcse talkd toomuch sorry

And the difference between what someone's willing to do till they are satisfied. They way the story is set, I do disagree. I believe if they split up abby's moments before we saw her as Joel's murder, it would have been much better. But that's not the case. But it doesn't change the fact it was a good game from gameplay and effort. And maybe they left the end open for a 3ed.

Killing people feels hard as it should be, even though that is still part which it is all about. I love how roaming through the stretches of city feel as a truly apocalyptic world. Music and sound design are top notch! Character design is outstanding and facial animation and movement is better than I have ever seen before. Also the acting and dialog are best I have ever seen in a video game.

    The gameplay loop also feels great to me. It feels much the same as part 1, which I also loved to play.
    It is a bit more streamlined and varied. It is also one of the very few games in which I found that the story fragments and collectibles were actually worth searching for. If you didn't like the first game though, you probably won't like this one either.

    The story is like the first game very powerful and emotional and all about love, hate, despair, revenge and enjoying the small things in live. People are not nice in this hard world, and no-one is really good. You mostly see the ugly parts of people that want to survive and want revenge when they are wronged. The story of the first game is better, as this one is missing the driving force of the first game about 'saving humanity'. It is more about (pointless) revenge, and human fallibility. Even so, I felt very invested in the story.

    I have a few small annoyances. I didn't like the shamblers and stalker infected enemy's. They were annoying and hard to kill, even though they are still defeatable. Luckily these encounters are not too frequent. I also thought finding materials was unbalanced. I didn't have enough tape for long stretches, and quite often didn't find a melee weapon. Other materials are much more in over abundance and not needed that much.

    Bottom line is that I love this game. It made me feel most human emotions strongly at some point. The game feels very exciting and tense at moments, and my heart was pounding at many times. I don't think it is perfect, but it is not far from it.
