    I loved this game so freaking much! Honestly, I was not expecting such an interesting story and amazing plots... TLOU2 was a surprise for me, and I had a great time knowing the new characters and playing with Abby.

    Seriously, don't mind with the haters, they're just a bunch of weebs. TLOU2 is a masterpiece, such as the first game was.

    Um jogo que consegue transmitir sentimentos de raiva, frustração, desconforto, empatia e o perdão.
    Esse jogo não é pra qualquer um que tem a mente fechada, esse jogo sem dúvida nenhuma merece uma nota 1000.
    Não é melhor que o primeiro jogo, mas com certeza vai transmitir os sentimentos que eu citei.

    Best sequel ever created. An incredible continuation of Ellie's story. I don't understand why the game is so disliked. Can't there be a relationship between two girls in a post-apocalyptic world? Or or did you all give a low grade because of Dina's armpits? Let's see what kind of armpits you will have in a post-apocalyptic world.

    That said, I personally really loved this game! I did not read any reviews or the leaks or anything, so I went into it blind as can be, and it was shocking and brutal and I loved every second of it!
    This game really made me think about who all these people are and what their reasons and motives are. If you want a game to blindly shoot and kill stuff, just play something else! There's a lot of story here and things that can be quite hard to stomach. It's definitely not an easy game to just play and have a good time with. It's a game that will haunt you forever, in the best ways.
    Much love to the developers, you did an AMAZING job, all my expectations were exceeded!

    Abby is a great new character. All it takes is getting over your initial hatred and realizing she is the same as Ellie, just a girl trying to survive and do what she thinks is best. She had good reason to do what she did. The ending really blew me away in how that dire and brutal story line could end on a bit more positive note but it really did it!
    Needless to say, the graphics, sound, animations, music and voice acting are all superb. This is already my game of the year, easily.

    I am not mad about anything this game did - well, almost. But what can I say, it all works as intended and ends up bringing a fantastic plot together with a decently happy ending.
    I am sorry for all the people who are mad now because some idiot leaked the story, and so people didn't have the context or experience of the game as it should have been, and those people go around leaving negative reviews everywhere now... it's sad, but that doesn't make this game worse. It's the game of the decade for me personally, definitely a mindbogglingly good game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un juego brillante, yo diria que lo mejor hasta ahora del año. Es un juego muy cruel, que no teme quitarte soportes desde un inicio, te rompe el corazon y ves como esa ellie dulce que aparecia en el TLoU 1 va perdiendo la cabeza de a poco en sed de vengarse. No es un juego perfecto, pero si muy bien logrado en todos aspectos, mensaje, empatia con personajes, musica, graficos, etc. Le daria 9,5.

    SPOILERS

    Muchos se quejas por la muerte de Joel diciendo que no fue heroica o trajica, pero no saben que todas las muertes son sin previo aviso o antiheroicas. Jesse muere en una cinematica como cualquier otra y en la misma cinematica nos dan a entender que Tommy tambien. No hay muertes valientes aca, es todo realista.
    La historia esta muy bien guionizada y escrita, sentis lastima y enojo por lo que sucede. Y el final es simplemente desolador, saber que Ellie renuncio a una vida de paz con Dina para matar a Abby cuando la habia dejado vivir 2 veces. Se quedo sin la daga que le dio su madre (que era lo unico que tenia ademas de la carta), sin 2 dedos que no dejan tocar la guitarra como antes y la unica cosa que le quedaba de Joel, pierde una oportunidad con Dina y se cumplio su mayor temor: estar sola.
    No solo eso, Tommy tambien lo perdio todo, Maria lo dejó, no puede usar una pierna, quedo ciego de un ojo y en lo ultimo que lo vimos, mando a Ellie a matarla a Abby.
    Lo unico que le agregaria es que Abby se de cuenta de las consecuencias que le trajo buscar venganza contra Joel, perdio todos sus amigos, inicio una guerra entre Scars y WLF por su culpa, (ya que Tommy mato unos Scars, y ellos pensaron que eran WLF), se convirtio en Joel mandando a todo su grupo a la mierda con tal de proteger a Lev y ni siquiera hay un dialogo de arrepentimiento o culpa o dandose cuenta que hizo lo que hizo Joel. Pero supongo que veremos eso si es que sacan un DLC o TLoU 3.
    En mi caso no empatice completamente con Abby pero si la entendí, y hasta senti que Ellie tenia que morir. Y Naughty Dog hizo bien su trabajo si dudaste aunque sea de que estaba pasando realmente y quien esta siendo mas humano y coherente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved this game. Didn't read the reviews until I'd finished to avoid spoilers and I'm stunned at how half the internet seems to have it! The storytelling I thought was so clever and original. Initially when we went back a few days and relived the story as Abby I just couldn't wait to get back to the confrontation but seeing everything from Abby's perspective and seeing the hurt Ellie had caused really made me question whose side I was on.

    Joel's death was gruesome and horrendous, but Abby was trying to find vengeance for her father in the same way we had come to understand Ellie was. I was glad at the end that Ellie spared her. It seems there's no good guys and bad guys in the post apocalyptic world, just different shades of loss.

    Basically, I think I felt all the things the writers wanted me to feel and I wonder if maybe it was easier for me because I didn't play the first game (I just watched a recap on YouTube) so I wasn't quite as emotionally attached to Joel and Ellie as some other may have been.

    Story aside, so much of the game was immersive and visually stunning. Escaping from the scar island under the burning debris was incredible, as was much of the dark immersive parts with infected coming at you from nowhere, and the intensity of the sniper scene where you feel angry when he kills Manny only for you to then discover it's Tommy.

    It felt like a level of storytelling that wouldn't be possible in a film and for the first time in a very long time I was disappointed when the game ended and I wanted more.

    I really don't understand all the negative reviews, this experience was completely epic.

It beats you in concussive jolts you don't wish to strike, the alternative choices you desperately want these people to make, and through the entirety of the journeys of 2 characters who are, in the end, 2 sides of the same coin. Both look into the darkness, but one is hoping to find the light of grace that was taken from her, and the other wishes to find it in the eternal shadows that would have given her existence meaning and sense. Both mock religious martyrs, but that is exactly what they become...except both are martyrs to a congregation of one in their own empty temples. The other characters, in fact, the whole word preaches to them, but they are like Trojan soldiers when Cassandra spoke. They hear, and ignore, the prophet's dire warnings of war without end, and victory at all cost...and cost it must...especially when all one hears from the plaintive, well-spoken advice of street wise prophets is babbles and baubles. Hence, why all logic is spoken from a theatre with a marquee bearing the name "Cassandra."

    This isn't a game one "plays". You don't "control" these people. You're along for the ride with the same knowledge of an audience that watches a Greek tragedy. It's an immersive dive into a virtual experience of dramatic irony played out as an epic elegy and a dirge. It speaks with somber poetic prose and sings out a mournful lamentation in its soundtrack, dialogue, and the pulpy violent narrative that knit it all together into one experience. This game is like the bifurcated tale of the Greeks after the fall of Troy, 2 parts of one of humanity's grand armies searching for a home, or an idea of it, that no longer exists. One makes it to home's warm embrace. One is perpetually searching. They both ache for what the other has...but have no idea what to do with their own mad kingdoms when they are the last ones standing.

    In the end...all the kingdoms fall when the furies rage on and on and on for revenge amidst the rubble. Eventually, all that rage and rubble is pulverized to dust...and blows away, carried on the wind of forgotten songs captured in music beaten mercilessly into stone for the ages, but left no mercy for the memory of how the songs were played and sung. The song fades into its own drowning wind, letting go of the nostalgia of what was, and leaving the hollow, hopeful ache of what might be. I have no idea how a goddamn video game made me think and feel so much, but the artistry of it all is not meant to be understood, but experienced.

I guess maybe people like simplistic black and white super-hero vs super-villain kind of story-lines, but common, there's just sooo many of them, just go play Call of Duty or watch Avengers instead, and leave your 0/10 somewhere else.

    Few things I think could be better, the game is a bit dragged out and easily could've been 5 hours shorter. Abby's line is a bit lackluster, few characters and subplots are undeveloped, and to be honest the first game felt better in hour-to-hour aspect. But trust me, it should not stop you from trying it out, it's still brilliant and deserves to be experienced.

    Great game that moves the genre forward by a mile. Very interesting take on revenge and what hatred does to people. Reminded me on the “Vengeance trilogy” for some reason (Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and Ms. Vengeance).

    The story is very bleak, so keep that in mind going in. It’s not a game that will leave you feeling happy, but that’s not the purpose of all art. Some art makes you sad, and

    If a game can hook me, evoke deep nuanced emotion from me. make me see myself in a different light and question my own morality. Then I can only naturally praise it.

You are either gonna love it or hate it, it's just probably better to find that out for yourself. I, someone who holds The Last Of Us Part 1 to such a high regard can say without a doubt, that for me, Part 2 not only reaches that same height, but in many ways pushes even higher. From the innovations in game design allowing for combat encounters to be the most fun and engaging I have ever experienced. The immense quality of animation and the most dynamic range of graphics the PS4 can offer. The story, although sometimes fatigue inducing over a 25-30 hour experience focused on plot, the narrative still for me is an overwhelmingly great feat. The cast all round do a great job of humanising their actions and making you torn between loving and hating them. Stand out characters would be Shannon Woodward's 'Dina', Ian Alexander's 'Lev' and of course Ashley Johnson as Ellie, Troy Baker as Joel and Laura Bailey as Abby in the lead roles. This game shouldn't be missed regardless of what you think you might know, you won't know till you see it for yourself. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game starts off with a memory of joel and ellie after the events of the first game, and will end many years later, but the game in general will have a lot to show that might be questionable to some fans and will sit firm with some. After the game starts, you immediately feel the world and the characters, the combat feels nice and smooth and will change through difficulty, but the main focus here is the storyline, the storyline was intriguing and depressing but still interesting in a good way. This game wants to show us the amount of work and pressure was put into it, and the developers delivered the game will definitely go down in history for killing off a character other companies wouldn't dare to touch, joel sadly gets beaten by a golf club, but this will become the main story for the rest of the game, the story is hard to understand but if you take the time and really understand it you realize, everything comes together even if you might not like abby she will still become a relevant character that gets misunderstood because so many people think joel is a badass and untouchable, and although we think he is great, he would probably go down as the worst man in history because of his selfishness, joel ultimately gets killed by someone who wants a eye for an eye, and even to end this will be obvios and contributes to the story. Characters are as lovable as ever and will mostly be different which adds diversity and uniqueness to the game and im definitely going back in for another playthrough to see if i find new details on them. The combat doesn't get to much added but it still manages to feel more diverse and vast, but the gun combat will sometime feel just off but it usually doesn't matter because it goes back to its great gun combat almost immediately and stops the awkwardness. Overall The last of us part 2 will go down in history as a great sequel, and will not be doubted until you play the game for your self, but if you dont like the game its okay, thats just life Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely perfect, from the beginning to the ending.
    When Joel died I felt something I've never felt, or hardly ever, while playing a videogame: I was crying, my legs were shaking and my voice was broken, I felt angry, sad and I just couldn't believe that Joel was dead, in fact the first thing I've sad after that was:"It's not true, Joel's not dead, he's in very bad shape and all that stuff but he'll be fine in some time. They didn't kill Joel".
    Then I saw the tombstone with his name on it and I cried even more, then I rried to cheer me up saying that he would be with Sarah now, but that hurted a lot and it wasn't helpful.
    So I kept playing the game with one desire: avenge Joel's death and kill Abby.
    Then I arrived at the point when you start to play as Abby, at the beginning I was really pissed off, but during that 8/9 hours while playing as Abby I realised why she has done that and the fact that she kinda regret what she has done because, in the end, she had lost everything, even her closest friend and I started to emphatize with her, in fact when Abby and Ellie fought for the first time I started to think that I'd preferred the Abby's death 'cause in the end during the first game I really loved both Joel and Ellie, so I was still in love, if I can say so, with her.
    Then the fight ended and neither of them died and I was kinda happy but then the epilogue arrived and they fought for the second time and, for the second time in a row, no one has won but because Ellie understand, thanks to an old memory of Joel, that, if she had killed Abby, she would have lost her humanity, and that was memory was painful but awesome at the same time.
    I might have not explained it well but it felt like that was the perfect endng because, thanks to the last memory of Joel and Ellie, you understand that Ellie, at the beginning at least, wanted to kill Abby to avenge Joel but then you realise that the only person she was hating and blaming was herself 'cause she was unable to forgive Joel for what he has done at the Fireflies' Saint Mary's Hospital (the end of The Last of Us) before his own death and that was so powerful that I cried again, it was **** perfect.
    Also I wanted to spend a few word about the techniical assets: the graphic's excellent, the gameplay is a simply evolution of the first game gameplay with some new features and the all options that Naught Dog has put into the game to help the people who have some disabilities or wanna play the game with some help are very useful, so well done Naughty Dog.
    Also what has happened with the review bombing it's very sad because if you look at this title objectively, this game deserves, at least, 7 even if you don't like the story 'cause the gameplay, the animations, the all accessibility options and the graphics are all **** amazing, and this game is the top of of the generation (and please don't say things like:"Cyberpunk 2077 will look amazing, and even better than TLOUPART2" because it's not true, and you know it. It'll look amazing and we all know that, but it's an free-roaming open world RPG so it can't have as many details as The Last of Us Part II has, it's impossible for this generationat least, we'll see what's gonna happen with the Next Gen in the next few months).

(Spoiler free) The Last of Us part 2, is an experience that will push your buttons, make you hate the developers, make you curse at its charecters, will make you cry because you can't control your anger anymore. Naughty Dog has always rewarded our faith with their games. Except for this one. This game will either build you up to a better you, or make you hate Naughty dog for the rest of your life. Sometimes we get so attached with certain emotions that we lose sight of what's right and what's wrong. This is the game where you will feel wrong when you do the right things, and you will feel right, doing the wrong things. The game will make you question your morals and ethics with everything you go through in this game. With a near flawless gameplay mechanics , and breathtaking visuals you are about to experience something that you don't want to experience , but is necessary to experience as human beings. The Last of Us part 2, is an incredible game. However, as a Gamer I may never be able to forgive Naughty dog because of the mental breakdown they put me through, because of one thing which I can't mention because of spoiler purposes. But maybe one day, I'd like to try. My rating as a Gamer- 7/10

Now, it got review bombed first because a bunch of bigots got their buttholes puckered over dumb stuff AND THEN because people apparently wanted everything the exact same as last time? And they felt misled by the trailer (which is good thing imo, trailers give away WAY too much). I guess I can't understand not wanting to know what happens. If you haven't played it, but think you know it's gonna be awful, I think maybe you should just play it and have an informed opinion. Is it heart breaking? Yes. But it's also...realistic and compelling. I walked away with an *intensely* different outlook and perspective on both the first and this game and the people in them. Basically if you like stories you should give this one a chance. It was moving in every emotion in the book. If you don't you're missing out and that's all I got to say on it Expand

    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.
