    This is an Incredible Game! The Last of Us 2 brings an extraordinary story, with well built characters, an impressive narrative and the most realistic graphics I’ve ever seen!

The Last of Us 2 brings an extraordinary story, with well built characters, an impressive narrative and the most realistic graphics I’ve ever seen! After finally finishing the story of the game, to me it was clear: this game was not made for fans! Many people thought that TLOU 2 would have an ending that was as exciting and emotionally intensive as the first one... however that didn’t happen! That is why many players were disappointed: although the story is complex and awesome, it may not have ended in an expected way for most of us. Here is my opinion about the game: 1. NARRATIVE Very different from what happened in the Last of Us 1, the second game is more focused on “the limits of humans sanity at an apocalypse”. And they definitely made it!

    NaughtyDogs has created a game that makes you question yourself all the time: what would you do if you were that character and why does that character act that way? It makes you wear their shoes and experience the consequences of their actions during the story. You never know which is the right side, until you realize there is no right side in an apocalypse!

    It is a complex story of revenge, and how hard it is to deal with ourselves and the others at an apocalypse. It plays with our emotions and thoughts in a fascinating way! The characters are very well constructed and that makes an enormous difference during the narrative. 2. GRAPHICS

    About the graphics, it is just unimaginable! It brings an impressive variety of details, with a great color selection and very realistic characters. About that, nobody can disagree. 3. GAMEPLAY The gameplay is even better than at the first one! TLOU 2 brings wider spaces for exploration, more realistic actions and antagonists, new weapons and infected levels, and much more. 4. CHARACTERS When it comes to the characterization, I’m honestly very satisfied! They’ve constructed very expressive and complex characters, fact that has everything to do with how the story is built and how it ends. So that’s it! The Last Us 2 definitely has brought a lesson to many people, its ending teaches us a lot about how rev... ops!! Guess you’re going to have to play it to find out! Hope you liked the review!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked the game but didn’t love it. At times it was everything you could want. At other times, it felt like a hard slog. I think it could have been reduced by 4/5 hours.

    There were clearly a lot of ideas that were put into the game; some great, some not so great. Fair play to ND for expanding TLOU universe but they could have probably held some ideas back. Part 2 improves on everything except the story and pacing for me. It was never going to be easy to top Part 1 either.

    Part 1 flowed better because you play it mostly as Joel, with Ellie by your side. It progresses nicely towards its conclusion. You care a lot more about the characters and what happens to them.

    Even so, I can understand why Joel was killed. It gave the game purpose. The manner in which he died has clearly infuriated people and I can understand that. Joel wasn’t perfect by any means but we rooted for him. I’m not sure if we were supposed to ever like Abby. I think playing as Abby was purely to try and understand her struggles and what she had been through. We have to remember that she has lost people too.

    For me, I would have preferred to play Day 1 as Ellie, then Day 1 as Abby and so on, so forth. There was such a big moment in Ellie and Abby finally meeting after the death of Joel and then we kind of lost that momentum as we were forced to play as Abby for a long period of time and go through parts of her story.

    What TLOU does well is show us that there are no heroes or villains. People are just trying to endure and survive. The level of detail is incredible and one of the best additions to Part 2 was hearing people scream out their friends name when you took them out. It added weight to the decisions you were making.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Um jogo que poderia facilmente ser o melhor da geração, se rendeu ao esquerdismo e progressismo, onde já se viu em um mundo pós-apocalíptico as pessoas se preocuparem mais em ser aceitas pelo que se consideram acima de sobreviver, nem sequer há espaço para coisas tão supérfluas e inúteis em um cenário assim, "Lev", que na verdade é Lily, foi a gota d'água, já não bastasse a forçação de barra com a Ellie, que já é lésbica que ainda por cima virou marinheiro e a "She-Hulk" conhecida como Abby, que aliás é um dos piores personagens que já joguei, e nesse jogo fui obrigado a jogar mais com essa porcaria que com a Ellie, sacanagem. Fora a morte ridícula e cheia de furos do Joel, descaracterização de personagens, agenda LGBT sendo enfiada pela goela toda hora, coincidências (deus ex machina) o tempo todo para beneficiar a Abby, que é um personagem sem carisma filha de um NPC random qualquer, que de repente se torna o epicentro desse jogo, com uma estória ridícula que desonra o primeiro, que é uma obra-prima, minha nota é até alta para esse jogo, que de bom só tem os quesitos técnicos.

Про структуру локаций это вообще отдельная тема,там даже есть уровень с типо открытым миром, в котором много доп квестов. Графика тоже на высоте, даже не представляю насколько лучше она станет на ps5. Можно снять баллы только за то, что иногда перестрелок было так много, что они надоедали и хотелось уже посмотреть сюжет и за то, что сюжет слегка затянули, можно было заканчивать уже в театре и все. Игру прошла на одном дыхании и после прохождения было ощущение будто бы посмотрела сериал. Теперь это она из моих самых любимых игр на ps4. Expand

    Almost as good as the original, which I rate as my favorite of all time. A really depressing game that came out during COVID - but a must play when you’re in the right mood. Is it as happy as the first one, no. Is it a story worth telling, absolutely.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, TLOU2 deserves 6 but one of the most important person's death undercuts 1 point all alone. Pros of TLOU2 are graphics and the playability/style of the game. Graphics are amazing. I am pleased about the playability. You really feel punching, stabbing, killing, taking revenge or caring people in the game. Atmosphere of the game is good. Playability and graphics combined are really good as RDR2 or maybe GoW series. Sounds, npcs, communication of npcs, darkness or lightness of sections, fighting etc make you pleased. They are all good for Naughty Dog. But, cons are very bad. All of pros of the game sinks because story is very poor. When I played TLOU, I loved Joel. I really developed empathy with Joel. We saw the story of Joel and Ellie. We waited for the last section of the game which is plot of the story. I was not bored. Also the storyline of TLOU was not boring and it built up the plot of the game. It was helpful to understand the choice. Actually I think story of TLOU is better than playability. In TLOU2, it becomes reversed. I will draw attention to some points. We meet Abby in TLOU2. Abby has a story. Abby is a protagonist in TLOU2 and this story affects our game experience. Because of her story we lost an important person. It is a concious choice of Mr. Druckmann. I dont like it. TLOU affects GoW series. They adapted daughter/son-father road story, they go from somewhere to somewhere. You follow them and somethings come up. You fight and kill and escape and run. End of the story/game, you should be pleased because of game experience. One of initial section, the person is killed by the new person and you are shocked. TLOU's sole developed empathy figure for me is dead. I really do not understand this choice. OK. You are in revenge stories. I do not empathy Abby or other people. Druckmann does not succeed and i also think it is concious choice. But, I saw this in game all the way, someone has revenge story, someone kills somebody, we saw teeneger love stories, someone has revenge story because of death of somebody, someone goes across the states, they fought and there goes nothing. This storyline has no interest for me. We found a child in this chaos, Lev. This child is a kind of Ellie from TLOU and Abby is a Joel figure. But, in TLOU, we saw Joel lost his daughter and then he met Ellie. Road story of them makes us felt empathy. We understood one by one of their stories with feelings. We hugged them. But, in the Abby and Lev situation, i did not. Story does not work. Ok, Abby is a caring person and Lev is a sibling for her, but that is it. No more understanding, no more feeling. I just played TLOU2. That is one of the worst choice of story. I must understand them, I must feel so much things, I wish that I like Abby, Lev and Abby - Lev siblinghood because of story and storyline. Second of worst choice of story is brutality for nothing sometimes. For instance, we found someones and we want to help them for what reason. This section of stories we killed 50 people for 1 person because we want to help. The theme of TLOU2 is love is the most important thing, love is precious, life of person is important so i must help him. But we killed hundreds. This, my friends, is ludonarrative dissonance. Also check ludonarrative dissonance. Story wants to help us understanding the theme, but gameplay wants lots of death. This is a contradiction. It does not help the game, on the contrary, it makes the game bad. I am really feeling awful. I replayed TLOU because of story. I loved the game because of story. Gamers loved TLOU because of story. In the end, they have no choice to screw up the story and storyline. But they achieved it. Thank you Druckmann.

    I have no problem Abby, Lev or killing Joel in the story, yeah I have to say it. Really. But if you kill Joel , you have to build up something too good. We just saw killing instead of very good storyline. We saw ludonarrative dissonance. They are not in a fantasy world, they want to make a realistic world as they can. Like Lara Croft, we played as powerful girl and if we are in a danger, we can kill the bad people or hit and run from the situation. In Tomb Raider series, we faced tough situtions, We fought thugs. Because they are bad people in the game. For example, in TLOU2, we left our team for saving Lev and we object Lev's commune. Because Lev is in a danger, Lev will be killed so I (Abby) have to save Lev. This is ok, this is a good reason. Abby's team and Lev's commune clashes. But we killed so much people at that moment. Those people also are someone's a father, mother, sibling or relative in ridicilous way. Not good.

    Also, TLOU2 does not highlight SJW or LGBTI +. Ellie and Dina have a relationship which is very good one and they have a very cute baby. This is normal. And then some jerks said Abby is transgender individual, so it is wrong. Evils are evils. I did not feel disturbed and I don't mind any of things. I think TLOU2 has not that kind of a goal.

    Narratives usually give us a nice story, where good things happen at the end and the characters I care about are heroic and brave and fulfill my expectations and prejudices.
    But the last of us 2 gives us realistic HUMAN characters dealing they have to deal with a ruthless fictional universe.
    At many points while playing I was relieved a situation was over, only to be followed by a more emotional difficult situation ahead and this could be perceived throughout the game.
    If you do something your Character doesn't like, you will notice changes in the body language of the character. This attention to detail makes the game a masterpiece in every aspect.
    I could relate a lot to all the characters and situations.
    This journey will accompany and haunt me for many years. And I cannot thank enough the developers of the game for doing their thing.
    I hope we get more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think what would really please the current community is making a part where Joel and Ellie are the main characters, because that's all everybody wants, a Joel and Ellie adventure. Its timeline should be right before Ellie learns how to play guitar, When Joel plays the Future Days song and tells her that; I believe, I believe cause I can see, Our future days, Days of you and me. That's why this part should be called Future Days and it should start from there and end at the death of Joel, And maybe they should jump to the fight scene between Ellie and Aby (the one at the end). And maybe they should give an option to kill Aby this time and see which players will choose revenge for Joel, And which will forgive Aby and let her go just like she did with them. Anyways its just a thought, I hope Naughty Dog sees this and considers at least thinking about a part called Future Days.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game! Awesome story. One of The best ever. I don’t get why “people” are so mad? It is a great continuity story. Brutal? Yes. Shocking? Yes. It is supposed to be. Because writers thought so. They didn’t want to create Diva channel Christmas story with magical happy endings and la la las. It is a rough world. Crazy world. Everything has fallen apart. People have gone mad. Have done crazy **** in order to survive. And in the middle of all that craziness there is a beautiful love story between father and adopted daughter. But, what about love story between Abby and her caring and loving dad? Did he deserve to die? What was Abby, some time ago a innocent little girl, supposed to to? To forgive?

    This story explores people’s everyday bias. Is it ok to kill one human being in order to save all humanity? Is it ok to go on a killing spree as Joel and Ellie but not as others? Why is everything revolving around us ok but not for others? Should Abbys father kill his own child in order for humanity to survive. This game makes us look both sides of the same coin. Same destiny. Ask thousands of questions. At first I hated Abby. Of course I did. Story made me. I was so immersed in Joel and Ellie. But, after a while I started to understand her. Her motives. Her desires. Her revenge. Her life. She was not a bad guy. In this not-normal world.

    This game give us a profound intro in human soul. And deserves 10 stars. And people out there, I have a message for you: if you hate this game so much, start asking yourselves why?

    P.s. internet has ruined everything.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For those expecting me to talk trash about this game and what happened to Joel, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disappoint y'all because I really do see The Last of Us Part 2 as a masterpiece and dare I say better than the first. Right off the bat, I can start off by saying even if I never played this game and don't know how to defend it, the way how people decided to talk trash about it and sending death threats to Neil Druckmann and Laura Bailey is honestly all I need since at that rate, you're just being just like Abby and will just be ignored. But I can understand y'all don't like the game but that's what I want to go over
    1. Joel's death: So people nowadays say Joel was disrespected since there's no way he'd reveal his name to a bunch of strangers and lower his guard to allow himself to die so easily and quickly. So right off the bat, Abby was always going to kill him even if no one else in that room knew since Tommy already spilled out both of their names earlier so it didn't matter Joel said his name again. Secondly, I would argue he WASN'T killed off so cheaply when he lowered his guard like that since that's exactly what happens when a man has lived 4 years with everything he ever wanted, a girl he considered his daughter, a home full of security, a place where he's seen as a hero for crying out loud, or even the fact he's trusted strangers before like Henry and Sam. Plus, there's even how he doesn't scream or beg for mercy, he knows what's about to happen and never regrets it to the end and he's all around the game, just not the priority.
    2. The games characters: people say that you could replace these characters for someone else and it wouldn't make a difference, so right off the bat, I can agree with that statement ONLY for Manny, Owen, Jesse, Yara, and Mel; everyone else I would argue are on par with Part 1's amazing cast. Like I found Lev relatable and I was glad he stayed with Abby to be the Joel and Ellie we missed in the first game, Dina was surprisingly good at her role since I actually prefer her relationship arc over Ridley's when she supports Ellie and then decides to leave her since all what she saw in her at the time was a druggie who couldn't quit, Tommy failing to accept "enough was enough", and while I didn't care Owen and Mel died since their characters weren't fleshed out enough for me to, I was shocked to see them call out on Abby and telling the truth to her face revealing they couldn't take it when she decided vengeance is the key way to make things right just like Jesse and Dina (kinda) did to Ellie.
    3: Claiming the game was sponsering SJW and the LGBTQ+ community: right off the bat, people who put this arguement don't even know what they're saying since the reason Abby is this muscular is because she chose to workout constantly for the pursuit of Joel over Owen and her friends
    4:Pacing is terrible: right off the bat, I'm not arguing with that since the story was absolutely all over the place and something I actually pointed out in my "The Last of Us Remastered" review but there's also how this drags on a little too long but that honestly never bothered me since at least it wasn't as bad as Days Gone and I wanted to see how it could come to a proper end
    5: Terrible ending: So I can understand what people mean by this when Ellie spares Abby but at the same time, those people weren't paying attention since throughout the entire game, Ellie feels like she had her purpose taken away from her when Joel saved her from that hospital and that her life is meaningless and that's what drives people to do horrible things like Ellie going after Abby one last time, but the real reason Joel saved her is because she believed her life has a purpose and he wants her to live to her best which is why he said he'd save her all over again if given another chance, and when Ellie was drowning Abby, she saw Joel not beaten up, but with their last conversation meaning she realizes that Joel wouldn't want her to throw away that life by some pointless vengeance and by sparing Abby, that's how she truly honors Joel.
    So that's all the "negatives on this game" but there is an overwhelming amount of positives here like the improved shooting and gameplay allowing gameplay and combat to be way more satisfying than the first game and when I died, it felt fair and not cheated, next gen visuals even for a base PS4 (like no joke, this game looks genuinely incredible), excellent actor performances (especially props to Troy Baker and Laura Bailey), and immersive soundtrack. Overall, while I don't know if you will enjoy this game based off of what happened, I can definitely I strongly recommend it if you can ignore the pacing issues.

    J'aime relativement bien l'histoire mais décidément le gameplay... c'est clairement un jeu qui aurait dû être un film ou une série. Après, il n'est pas vraiment original, les auteurs ont qbien été inspirés par de nombreuses autres oeuvres et ça se ressent très fort puisque le gameplay ne suffit pas à apprécier le jeu.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler ALERT don't read in case you want to experience the game yourself! The last of us 2 can be reviewed in 2 sentences. Game mechanics are great, it was a lot of thinking taken and the details including how the rope will go around various materials require standing applause. The story is very simplistic, with core only human feelings, without getting to details until the very end. Making it boring, lack of motivation for completing goals and fully concentrating on "villain" that become sympathize character till the scene with slitting a throat of a pregnant woman. The story was so poorly written than it's hard to understand reasoning behind the producer decision. Last scene with Joel shows that Ellie want to forgive him for lying and want to rebuild the bond between them. This scene should be on the beginning of the game, so we could cry when he is tortured and then killed by Abby. Instead, we saw him killed with a background noise of Ellie treating she will kill them all.

    We don't know what's going on, and we only can wait to get to snap her neck. Instead, we got a 2 days holiday travel around the Seattle. Most of the game is about Abby only, and revelation the reasoning for torturing her saviour Joel and then killing him. For those who played the part 1 know he did kill or fireflies to save Ellie from operation. Including Abby's dad "the doctor" that want to kill Ellie for better good. This was already a bad (not enough) reason to kill not mention torturing, spitting and cursing Joel. The only reason the game did sell well was a made-up propaganda about SJW influence in the game. When realistically this part of the story was really well written without forcing or changing player way of thinking. Our Liv or Lily was great character that didn't want to be a wife of old prick. He wants to be a hero a warrior. Easy and great example of many people that going thought that process. But for the story it was a valid and great twist.
    Unfortunately, this wasn't a big thing as we were forced to like Abby who constantly was admitting that WLF is right, even when they killed kids or torture people. We should like her because she lost her dad. Entire game couldn't explain why she has friends and why they support her so much. On the end she was happy to kill Ellie and her girlfriend, even she realizes how stupid that is. Only Liv stopped by looking at her as looking on the monster. Rest of the game is not worth a mention as is boring, unrealistic and repetitive. The baby ending will be much better than fight in the water against half size Abby. The last of us 2 should be named differently and shouldn't be a part of the game. 6/10 when comes to outstanding graphics and mechanics. The rest is boring, repetitive enemies are easy and blunt. Cut scenes are too long and contain just normal conversations. You could tell that the team spent most of its time-wasting on videos and motion capture instead gameplay. Big applause for programmers and designers, I would personally pay off the producer who stood behind story like this, and create hostile advertising to create a big talk about how much propaganda will be in this game. When on the end was nothing critical or wrong doing apart the wholes in the story and boring narrative.

It is very unfortunate that so many people rushed to this site just to go out and review-bomb it due to leaks revealing the direction this game was taking before release. However, if you are considering playing this game, do not let the apparently overwhelming negative user reviews mislead you. Play it. Give it a chance. Many of these negative reviews where put up within hours of the game being released when it should have taken well over a day (without food or pee breaks) to even complete the game, let alone contemplate it enough to write a review. Don't let yourself be fooled. I'm not joking or lying when I say this game is a masterpiece, and if you're still concerned, most of the people who have actually played this game have positive things to say about it, too.

    The gameplay doesn't change up a whole lot from what already worked in the original game, but it still adds some welcome new mechanics that give the player more freedom and choices. In addition, Naughty Dog has included a plethora of accessibility options so that pretty much anyone can enjoy the game. Did I mention that Naughty Dog has also put a complete technical marvel on display here? From the graphical fidelity, the incredible motion capture, the animation, the acting, the riveting musical score, those hilariously realistic rope physics, and the terrific sound mixing. TLOU 2 does it all better than any game Naughty Dog has ever released and better than any game I've ever played. Not to mention it does it all at a very consistent 30 fps at 1080p or 1440p depending on your console.

    The sense of atmosphere is also an incredible achievement. In fact, there are many moments where the sense of dread and anxiety may be too overwhelming for some who are not used to such intense games. TLOU 2 mostly takes place in a harsh cordycep-infested Seattle, where most of the residents have only survived as long as they have by being ruthless and cruel, and for you to survive, this game will require you to be the same. The people here have formed societies in this city and, sure, not everyone within is as ruthless and cruel, but the ones that are often have more than enough determination to carry out their revenge, regardless of the consequences, and many times at the expense of those around them.

    With all that being said, the main source of all the vitriol and controversy, is of course the story. In my opinion, the story here is vastly superior to the already excellent story of the original TLOU. It has more emotional depth, the characters (villains included) have more depth, and the stakes are much higher and more personal. TLOU 2 is a revenge story and it's a revenge story on more fronts than one. TLOU 2 also explores more complicated themes such as the cost of revenge and the main characters' obsession with it. Revenge becomes the drug that drives our characters and it will drive them to some seriously dark and disturbing depths. Unfortunately for everybody, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    The pacing and editing here is also master-class. For instance, there are a number of flashback sequences this game has to juggle, and each sequence involves different perspectives, characters, and years. Yet, somehow, each one arrives at the exact right emotional moment in the story and allows for new context to be added. Suddenly, a new layer will open up and certain story beats may now make more sense or have new depth added to them. Decisions you thought were right now may no longer be so clear-cut. Suffice it to say, the story will have you actively engaged and you will find yourself pushing yourself forward, eager to learn more.

    Well, for most of you anyways, and that's the true tragedy of all this. There is a very real toxicity out there and this game is releasing in one of the most divisive and toxic times in recent history. TLOU 2 includes powerful female leads and LGBTQ+ characters in its story and for some bigots that may be unacceptable. The most generous and forgiving explanation I have to explain the rest of the backlash is that the story simply wasn't what some people wanted. However, to say this game has a "bad story" is simply wrong. Objectively, the story of TLOU 2 is quite brilliant! Naughty Dog took much bigger risks here and they clearly had their minds made up on what kind of story they wanted to tell. And they delivered. And this game delivers! The story broke my heart, made me cry, and upset me. To be honest, I couldn't tell you the last time a game affected me so. Sure, the story may not be to everyone's liking, and it may not be to yours, but after finishing it, you cannot say it was told poorly. I loved The Last of Us and I loved its sequel. If you played the first game and loved it, as long as you approach the sequel with an open mind, I'm sure you'll love it too.

Its main theme is about hatred and the desire for revenge, but also about perspective. If you can go on this journey with a open mind you might experience a very special story that needed to be told. The graphics are among the best the ps4 ever produced, the gameplay is vastly improved and does everything the first game was lacking in terms of mechanics. The game's pace can drag on in a couple of parts, but overall it's a minor nitpick that does not compromise the experience whatsoever. The sound design is really impressive making the experience really immersive and the music, both original and covers, are subtle and beautifuland sets the tone really well throughout the journey. Overall an experience that cannot be missed for those who want an different type of story and really well made game overall. Expand

    They will point to sales and claim a success but you won't get people back for a third trip after this. Any sequel was going to sell well after the first was such stellar piece of storytelling.

    This is a uninspired sequel that looked to cash in. It didn't have anything new to tell us or to show us and it forgot that it was the incredible bond of Joel and Ellie that endeared so many to the story....and then it punished you for caring in the first place.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a story focused game that emphasizes mainly on the revenge theme. The graphics and sound design in the game are spot on, 10/10. Sadly everything else is shallow at best. I pre-ordered the game and my punishment was to get the platinum even if I hate it. Even based on the low difficulty for the platinum I can tell ND knew how bad the game is because most of the time when the platinum trophy is trivial you are looking at a game that is trying to sell just for trophy whores. Out of all ND games this was the easiest platinum by far.
    The gameplay is obsolete, very similar to the first iteration of the game. Let me get into details: the game follows the same pattern, you have exploration sections where you search for loot and collectibles, you have stealth combat areas where you have the option to avoid fights completely and you have sections where a conflict is triggered and you have to fight. Some game levels are completely made to build up characters and those levels can be very boring especially if you have to play a character that you hate. From the gameplay mechanics perspective they introduced craftable silencers, some shallow rope mechanics puzzles, you can dodge attacks with great animation fluidity, now characters can jump if this can be considered a new feature in a 2020 game and you have to fight against 2 new enemy types (dogs - that can follow your scent and shamblers - a new zombie type that is easier than bloaters). Besides this it is the same game as the first one. The enemies are dumb, you can create a pile of bodies and they will keep coming to you. The gameplay is pretty much the same as TLOU 1. Another annoyance is the length of the cutscenes. In the first game they were able to build relationship between Ellie and Joel by adding small auto triggered conversations while you were looting and exploring and the cutscenes were well balanced with gameplay. This game is 40% cutscenes and sometimes cutscenes are never ending. I would give it a solid 7/10 since I enjoyed some of the levels a lot, whereas I hated other levels.
    Oh boy here it comes, the big elephant in the room, the most important things: the story and character design. Based on the trailers and critic reviews you end up determining that most of the game will be about Joel and Ellie. The critic reviews will show you only Ellie gameplay. That is not the case. Half of the game you play as Ellie and half of the game you play as a new character called Abby (a strong independent woman in gaming, a political agenda on a stick, it is a pumped up version of Nadine from Uncharted 4). I don't understand at all why they tried so hard to make her as repulsive as possible, she is hideous, she always takes selfish decisions, she is way more cruel than Ellie (both of them are very cruel but when Ellie takes bad decisions it seems she does that because there is no other way and she is always heavily punished for doing so, when Abby takes bad decisions she has options, and she chooses to be a bad person and she doesn't get any punishment whatsoever, she even cheats on Mel with Owen and Mel is pregnant with Owen and the game chooses to show us a disgusting sex scene between the two). Also another political agenda is Ellie being gay. From my point of view this is done very well and it doesn't affect the story in any way, but it just seems so political from the moment when they started it with the "Left Behind" DLC. Also through out the game Ellie seems to take one stupid decision after the other, again something forced in terms of story, just because the game wants to have a reason to punish Ellie. Lev, another character is a trans person and the second half of the game follows Abby trying to save Lev and her sister Yara. Again Lev takes some stupid decisions and Yara gets punished and dies because of his mistakes. Again, another character added for political agenda purposes. Even if the game tries a lot to make you empathize and feel for the new set of characters it fails miserably because the characters seem to be so artificial, so you of place. Another big problem is Joel's death. First of all he is killed at the beginning of the game to create shock value. The problem is the way he is killed by the game. The Joel, Ellie duo relationship was the core of this game, they manage to loose that in the beginning and the big problem is the false advertisement from game trailers that show a different picture. I understand the game wants you to feel bad but the way they do it seems just very superficial and cruel. The second half of the game forces you to play as Abby and forces you to feel for her. I didn't want to play as Abby and couldn't care less about her and her motivations I wanted to see her punished for what she did to Joel. Instead the game ends with Ellie sparing Abby's life while Ellie looses 2 fingers in the final fight and she basically looses everything while Abby looses nothing.
    Final verdict: 0/10.

    What a lousy story coming from part 1, I came in not reading any spoilers or watching any of the leaks as I got rid of all my social media for this game. I mean the game looks good but so did The Order 1886 and Killzone Shadowfall

    Ставлю ноль за пропаганду лгбт и феминизма в игре. Разработчики, знайте одно, игроки не идиоты и не говноеды (во всяком случае большинство) чтобы играть в этот кал купленный за свои деньги.

    When I finished part one I was one of the people who said there should never be a sequel, it’s perfect as it is, or if there is a sequel it should focus on other survivors. I can remember where I was when I first saw the teaser trailer for this, I happy sobbed. All of that plus years of anticipation it would be totally understandable if it didn’t meet my expectations, but it met them andWhen I finished part one I was one of the people who said there should never be a sequel, it’s perfect as it is, or if there is a sequel it should focus on other survivors.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sinceramente, eu não sei descrever em palavras o quão bom ele é, não é so um jogo é uma obra de arte. Nunca senti tantas emoções em um unico jogo. Para todos que trabalharão nesse jogo, tem o meu todo respeito, esse jogo definitivamente mudou minha vida. Queria falar mais dessa obra prima, mas estou tão emocionado que nem tenho mais forças, vou dormir para botar meus pensamentos em ordem. E para finalizar obrigado Naughty Dog e principalmente aos envolvidos. Depois desse jogo, tenho certeza que nunca mais vou achar outro jogo dessa magnitude. Até agora não entendo essa nota tão baixa. li alguns comentarios negativos e pelo que parece eles não aguentarão a pressão do jogo, e tambem tem uns que eu não quero nem falar, meu QI caiu -2748. Só isso, QUE JOGO INCRIVEL. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Needless to say this is a Day and Night difference of opinion between critics and the general gaming public. Naughty Dog’s formula with games since the original Uncharted has been:
    Mediocre game mechanics. But amazing animation, set pieces, character development, and story telling.
    Unfortunately with this particular title significant character development and storytelling has disappeared. On top of this, it’s no secret at this point that the game is significantly longer then it actually needs to be. Inhabiting an additional character, who a majority of players can’t connect with or care about for obvious reasons. The final confrontation in the game easily being one of the most satisfying, then most dissatisfying moments in the story, not to mention video game history. Not to mention nonsensical.

    Another forced "inclusive" game. Bad story, predictable end and mediocre graphics. Don't waste your money and buy somethig better, like Cory in the white house.

    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]
