    Wow. Naughty Dog did it again. Not only is this a worthy follow up to the first game, they managed to out-due the first one and blow me away.

If you loved the first one, you can breathe, relax and buy this game with confidence. Don’t worry about all of the negative reviews. Most of the angry reviews are because Naughty Dog is “forcing” their “liberal agenda” on the player because the main leads are female and happen to be gay. Apparently the extreme violent killings of hundreds of NPCs isn’t an issue, but playing as a woman who happens to be gay...that’s where bigots draw the line...… Expand

    The best game of this generation, I especially loved the sound design during Abby's sex scene : the subtle sounds of Owen balls slamming against the muscular ass of Abby were recreated masterfully.

    Let's not forget the animation department for their beautiful depiction of her women **** truly a breathtaking scene that I'll never forget !

Hay tantas referencias culturales y tantos recursos cinematográficos tan bien ejecutados que, más que un juego, parece una obra de arte. Quizás el juego es muy pretencioso, eso sí. Pero de resto, cumple con creces las expectativas. El juego es más maduro, crudo, y terrorífico incluso que la primera entrega. Hay mucha tensión en el ambiente.… Expand

    By far one of the best games I've ever played. The best graphics, a great and entertaining gameplay. And the story is not bad, the only problem is that people simply get mad because it doesn't go the way they wanted. It has some flaws, but definitely don't deserve the hate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The sequel everyone has been waiting for, end up being the sequel no one wanted.

    That's how I feel, I did not expect this story to be told. Why? mostly because a whole game based on the "cycle of violence/revenge/forgiveness" (and not going at it the right way) and not focusing on the zombies, cure, or a better world building, well kinda a miss for me. But still very good and a rare experience.

    What's my problems with this sequel? The characters mostly. Abby (/Owen). I don't hate her. I get what was the point of her story, why we played her. I do, but, it just doesn't work for me.

    Could be because, we play her after 15 HOURS, you know when we are very invested in Ellie (can't be compared with how we get play Ellie in the first game). Maybe because we play her after a big cliffhanger, and get back to it after hours. Maybe because we see her kill and torture XXX. Or maybe because her and Owen story felt bland, boring, long? I get it, we need to sympathize with them. But not like this (I did like Abby with Lev and Yara, it was interesting).

    And we spend quite a few hours playing Abby, when other characters get almost nothing. Dina, Tommy, Jesse and Maria.

    Ellie loses everything, even herself (PTSD, not explored or talked about) for revenge. In this game the characters don't talk a lot about their feelings or what happened, it's missing, we have visuals but... Even worse, if you miss an entry in the journal, you might not understand correctly Ellie.

    That being said, it's still an amazing experience. The gameplay is really good when given the opportunity. The graphics are a big step up, for me, it's the character animations that I liked the most. Again story not perfect for a few things, but for the rest it was good. The flashbacks could have been handled better, sometimes it was frustrating, more so with Abby. And lots of options to play how you want in the settings.    … Expand

    O jogo surpreende em termos técnicos e gráficos. A história é uma reviravolta. Estou surpreso com a grandiosidade desse jogo. Tive oportunidade de jogar apenas no final do ano passado (2021), mas eu sempre li e ouvi elogios desse exclusivo do PlayStation (que já e o jogo mais premiado da HISTÓRIA). Sem mais delongas, é magnífico.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I usually don’t share my opinions online, but I think I need to write some stuff.

    I‘ve never felt so unsatisfied yet entertained at the same time.

    MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD :(

    I just don’t know how to describe my feelings after finishing this game. It’s definitely something else. THE LAST OF US PART II has major pacing issues though. Even if you (for whatever reason) can sympathize with the second playable character Abby, there’s still this major cliffhanger lasting for several freaking hours, maybe just to make you feel not so bad about beating up Ellie to a pulp in the concluding theatre scene.

    This is borderline pretentious BS and after finally playing the really great Uncharted4 like farm-„epilogue“, thinking you’re finally about to get the closure you’re craving for, they take you for even another round with absolutely no conclusion.

    And despite all this „extra“ content being very well presented and atmospheric (even the Abby levels are just mind bending) I just had a really not so fun time playing anymore. This ending made me so sad and I really don’t know if I ever want to play the Abby parts ever again in my entire life, after knowing how all of this plays out.

    I played the Ellie part of the game almost entirely walking (just slightly tilting the stick) and exploring every corner until this major screw up point in the story and the overall game deserves so much better, but just by forcing you to play as Abby for this fatiguing long amount of time, I felt the urge to speed run her part. Skipping and rushing several Clicker and Scars encounters. I’m simply not able to like this later story arch with absolutely no satisfying conclusion.

    There are major emotional, partially optional, scenes to discover, which jerked the tears out of me in no time and I’m very thankful for that ND. Witnessing the growing affection between Ellie and Dina was one of the most motivating things for me and I really adored the museum flashback with Ellie and Joel.

    The overall attention to detail in this game is awesome. The gore effects really treated the 80s Robocop-violence fan boy in me. Better blood pools than Stranglehold (finally) and partially dismemberment of the enemies like in the good old Soldier of Fortune days. The gore is even quite shocking from time to time, which really fits the overall gritty tone of the game.

    Another great thing I’d like to point out are the multiple accessibility options in this game. I played the game in german and our voice actors over here did an overwhelmingly great job. And you’re able to modifiy nearly any aspect in the difficulty settings seperately, which led to an overall less frustrating experience than in the first game.

    Despite this another major thing that’s bothering me is the fact, that gun modifications just don’t f'ing matter. The workbenches are presented in a very cool fashion, but don’t think you’re able to stash a second full spare mag after crafting the extended magazine. Why? Really! Why?
    Only one spare mag seems a bit little to begin with, but I get that this would inevitably lead to balancing issues. But in the end I only upgraded my weapons for the visuals. Pointless. Period.

    I guess the element of choice is really lacking in the THE LAST OF US PART II. They really could’ve let you lose to Ellie in the theatre or just let her shoot Abby in the head in Santa Barbara or just f'ing stay at the ranch and get over it. I really don’t know how ND is going forward from here on with this franchise, but I wish them all of the best, despite all the negativity surrounding their product at the moment.

    This game is still a solid 9 for me (I usually don’t judge in numbers). I really liked the combat mechanics, the brutal firefights and melee animations. Scouting the first few levels very carefully, picking up notes and solving a few puzzles. I had great fun with it. I cannot overlook the crazy amount of effort, put into the overall artistic craftwork of this piece of art and ND probably should be proud of their universe, since gamers seem to be pretty involved.

    Stand by your vision, but also do NOT forget about your fans!

    Oh and you really could’ve added one or two Nirvana songs for Ellie to play on the guitar ;)    … Expand

The ending is very sad for no reason at all, but you feel sorry for yourself for witnessing it, not for the characters. Every emotional hook Naughty Dog put in there simply doesn't work.

    - Ignore the votebombing campaign. A huge amount of the hate it's getting is simply for having gay characters in the lead.

    - For those people who are SINCERELY disappointed in the darker, brutal turn the story takes all I can say is...did you play the same The Last Of Us 1 that I did? Joel's daughter is killed in the first hour of the game and he goes on to murder hundreds upon hundreds of human beings. Then he makes a deeply morally questionable decision at the end of the game.
    This is not a game series for people who like happy endings. And if you're surprised by the turns this game's story takes that's a GOOD thing, no? Did you not want to be surprised?
    One comment I read here on Metacritic in the User Score section summed up the stupidity of most of the criticism this game's getting: it said:

    "THE DEVELOPERS IGNORED THE COMMUNITY AND JUST WROTE THEIR OWN STORY!!!"

    I mean...what do you say to someone who thinks that way? Someone who is so entitled and spoiled and small minded that they believe they have some divine right to dictate the direction of someone else's story in someone else's game?

    Okay, that out of the way, I can get onto the game itself. I'm going to admit that I was not a huge fan of the first game. I thought it began and ended brilliantly, in fact I think it has easily the greatest ending of any game ever made - the ending is up there with the ending to some of the greatest films ever made too.
    But the bulk of the game itself wasn't enjoyable for me. It was too slow, the stealth was too laboured and predictable and the gunplay was dull. I'm a huge fan of ND games, Uncharted 2-4 remain some of my all-time favourites, but TLOU was a rare ND game that just didn't click with me.
    For some reason I'm finding its sequel much, much more enjoyable. First of all, the simple act of moving around the world is greatly improved. You are quicker, more nimble, the mantling animations are fluid, you can climb quickly and easily...
    A great example of how much care has been taken over making movement responsive and satisfying is the way your horse controls. Think of how many games have horses in them...now think of how utterly atrociously difficult it is to control those horses: eg. Red Dead 2, with its painfully slow, tank-like horses, or Shadow of the Colossus with the infuriatingly capricious Agro, Roach in The Witcher 3, etc., etc... Yet your horse in TLOU 2 is an extension of you. It turns on a dime, it accelerates beautifully, it moves from a trot to a gallop to a stop with such fluidity I was a bit startled when I first controlled it. This is the Naughty Dog difference: the sheer care that's gone into making small things as good as they can possibly be.

    When I reviewed Uncharted 4 I called it 'Luxury Gaming', simply because of the lavishness of the enterprise, the absurd amount of care and attention that had gone into every single component of the game. And while TLOU 2 doesn't have the same obvious graphical splendor and jaw-dropping scenery as Uncharted 4, it has had just as much, maybe more, attention paid to it.
    It's visually magnificent, although the narrative forces it into less obviously attractive locations than other big hitters in this department like Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead 2 and the aforementioned Uncharted 4. It controls beautifully. ...And the combat...the human versus human combat...bloody hell. I've just started facing other humans, and it feels substantially different from other action games in this regard. It feels much more tense. A single shot can kill you, a single shot can kill them...the enemies shout to each other throughout, threaten you, you can try and outflank them, and you have your heat-vision-y sense powers, but apart from that it's desperation and adrenaline.

    I'm hoping the game keeps up this level of quality, in its gunplay and in its stealth, and so far this feels like its cribbed a lot of valuable lessons from Uncharted 4(which Neil Druckmann, director of TLOU 1 and 2, also directed) simply in how to make the game more...well, fun. More purely enjoyable. How to make stealth and combat more satisfying. So far it feels like they've succeeded, and I get the same sugar rush from the action elements in this game that I got from Uncharted 4, only there's a good deal more depth to this.

    I am interested in seeing where the plot goes. But it's the gameplay that so far is impressing me most.

    Based on my impressions of the game up until now this is a substantial improvement on the first game - more satisfying in every single area. I was not expecting much because I'd had such a hard time with the first game, but it has been riveting so far. Tense, dramatic, with a forward momentum propelling the player forward. It's daring, with the unique 'luxury gaming' touch that you only get with ND.    … Expand

A pesar de algunas incongruencias en la historia, disfruté mucho el juego de principio a fin, las nuevas mecánicas con la ambientación, los sonidos y con el excelente apartado gráfico son espectaculares no hay tema de discusión ahí, con respecto a la historia estoy de acuerdo con muchas personas acerca de la muerte de Joel, fue muy apresurado y la manera en que murió por mas que se lo merecía me pareció que no fue la adecuada, ademas pensé que al menos jugaríamos más de una vez con el, y el final como que te deja muy pensativo de si Abby merecía morir o no, en fin felicitar a Naughty Dog por todo el tiempo que se tomaron en hacer este juego.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets get the obvious part out of the way. Visual, sound and acting ... all top tier so there really isn't anything people can complain about in terms of these 3.

    Gameplay wasn't the highlight of the first game either. It is a very basic action and stealth gameplay, with light survival elements. Since this basically the same passable bare-bones gameplay loop with slight tweaks, that adds little to none to the experience and is there to fill out the actual gameplay sequences between cutscenes.

    Now the bread and butter of the first game was its story. The actual setting wasn't anything new. But the thing is that the setting itself played secondary role to the actual characters. It just served the purpose if instigating events that would lead to Joel and Ellie meeting.
    From there on, the actual story of a dead world, and the possibility of a cure was way overshadowed by the simple but effective dynamic between the two.
    Joel could be the father he never got the chance to be, and Ellie finally felt like someone cared for her.
    It was simple, but the small bits of bliss in an otherwise dark world kept people stuck to their screens.

    The Last of Us Part II has almost none of that. It has 2 very short flashback sequences where the charm of the original game got to shine trough, but that's all.
    The Last of Us Part 2 basically boils down to one major shock factor, that is showed in fairly early into the game, and the rest is a bore-fest of following the uninteresting new character, or the bleak revenge story that leads absolutely nowhere.

    It has been said before when the first game was released, and sequel emphasizes this, but the first game was a wholesome story and experience, with a proper ending.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. aside from all the bad scores the game itself is not that bad, the issue is that it is not perfect.

    The game excels at some points, it has a really high technical level, the graphics are gorgeous the gameplay is an upgraded version of the gameplay on TLOU 1, definetly there are some things the game industry should learn from this game, but there is one thing that nobody should learn from this game and this is how to make a good story.

    The story alone is not bad, its just not good, but what makes this story worst that others is that i follows a really good one. The characters on TLOU 2 feel out of place, they dont think or act the way that we learned from the first game, with any other characters without context this story may work but since they are using ones with a really strong background that makes everything break, aside from that the story fails in show itslef, the way the director changes the order of some events trying to hide from the player some info that the character knows really does not work, there are many cases in which an action of the character would be explained if we just knew what happened in the past, and the moment we get to know what happend it is already to late, this is a mayor spoiler but its almost known by everyone that joel dies, but the moment in which he dies is just out of place, the feelings of Ellie may be clear in the future, why is she so angry why is everythin worst, all of that we get ot know in the end of the game but its to late for us to relate to ellie, the most impact we get from some scenes its the scene itself, there is no context or background for us to feel anything, we just get to know the other side of ths story later on.

    So yeah, maybe the game its an excelent showcase ok thecnical skills, but fails in what made TLOU a game to be remembered, its just a mainstream story told in the worst way posible, still it does not deserves the score most people are givin. I'd say that the game is not the wors but also is not the best it should be remembered as a failed attempt to make something great.    … Expand

    Totally abandons everything that made the first game a masterpiece - Joel is an idiot now?

    I don't care about social politics or sexuality. What i care about is the awesome story and the relationship between Ellie and Joel. They took that away and put it in a trashcan very early on. The story and the characters are horrible in this sequel.

    My advice is for you to do what i didn't do: stay with the image that you have about Ellie and Joel and don't look back.

    0/10 for the fact that they managed to ruin such a beautiful story.

    P.s.: This game is an excellent example why people don't read critic reviews anymore. We all know for a while that this reviews are payed for. But in this case is so obvious and with no shame.

And seeing all these salty streamers that have to react to cynical viewers and seem to struggle hiding and processing their real emotions and human feelings only makes me feel sorry for them. This game in terms of gameplay, graphics, level design, music and sounddesign etc, raises the bar for the industry. The story is so dark, hard and such an emotional rollercoaster, that it will leave you beaten and bruised by the end and gives you a lot to reflect about. Unlike what you might hear online, the story is VERY last of us. It just takes - maybe unexpected - themes and dynamics from the first game, and takes them to their logical conclusion. And seeing and playing this, will leave you feeling very uncomfortable, but that is a good thing. And people who make fun of these things, like streamers and youtubers, seem to do so, because they have some sort of persona to keep high and it’s easy to just join the meme outrage train. And the stuff in the story they seem to complain about, just makes them look like a bunch of pansies.
    I’ll be honest, there are some moments that require you to suspend your disbelief, but it will cause an eye roll at best (if you can let that stuff go). But all and all, story wise, it might be up there with games like Read Dead (1&2), Nier: Automata and Spec-ops: the Line, probably exceeding that last one.
    In any case, if you own a PS4, you owe it to yourself to at least give this a try. Streamers make money off of making cynical rage videos and take any opportunity to do so. Don’t let that ruin the fun for you. And again, I feel sorry for the people who didn’t enjoy this as much as I did, because I haven’t felt these emotions playing a videogame in a long, long time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite the game being significantly leaked a month before its release and the review bombing on this website, I still kept my preorder and received it on day one. With over 10 hours put into the game so far I can say that it is absolutely amazing, and a very addicting title. Let me break this down into an organized way. Graphics are up first, and boy are they amazing, especially the lighting. Oh my god, the lighting is beautiful, especially on the base ps4. The rest of the game is spectacular too, especially when you get to the second day of Seattle, the wildlife is awe dropping, and i have taken several screenshots because I am so amazed. Next up is sound, and it is very much similar if not better than that of the first title. Gameplay: a lot of aspects are taken from the first game and blended perfectly with elements from this title. Aspects from the first game are approved upon, and the addition of prone mode allows for the stealth aspect, arguably one of the most important ones, really prominent and amazing.

    Story so far: Ok, so Joel dies, I've known that since the unfortunate leaks and jerks on the internet. Man, this scene was intense, very gruesome, I had goosebumps and was speechless. The death was surprising but isn't really shocking given the context o the story and the events from the previous title.

    Characters: Dina is someone that I thought would be the 'annoying one', in the sense of always being cute and flirty with Ellie, but she is actually a useless and nice addition to the story line.. except when we find out she's pregnant. The way it was implemented into the story was kinda random and sorta poor writing in my opinion. The flashbacks from a few years ago with Ellie and Tommy/Joel is also a nice addition, especially for Tommy, a very under developed character in the context of the first game. Jesse is also a nice character that I fully expected to have beef with Ellie dating his former GF, but he doesn't, and respects their relationship, which makes his character that much more enjoyable.

    Weapons: The weapons system is 100 times better in this game than the first one. As opposed to getting the best weapons towards the end of the game, you are able to get really good ones pretty early on in parts of Seattle, making taking out enemies, especially the shamblers, much more easy and enjoyable.

    Workbench: a really stupid thing for me to go crazy over but I really enjoy the overall improvements and designs of the workbench, and being able to see your character actually upgrade and change parts of the weapon, as opposed to the lazy, fixed camera that most developers will have in titles.

    So good job, Naughty Dog, this is an excellent title so far, and I highly recommend people to play it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I’d like to say that I have completed the game on the Survivor difficulty level and I achieved the platinum in this game. So, I think that my opinion has some weight.
    This is nor 10/10, nor 4/10. This game is 8-9/10. The story is great. When you play as Ellie you want to avenge for Joel’s death at any cost because of the first game. When you play as Abby the game tells us about her motives, her friends, her thoughts and there we find out about another side of the coin. Also we find out more about WLF and the Scars conflict. During Abby’s story I had a thought that Abby is more sensitive than Ellie who just wants to kill every last one of them at any cost. So I have no questions to the story. It’s clear 9/10.
    What about the gameplay. Gameplay looks pretty good and from the first fights you find out about the differences between the first and the second parts of the game. When you play as Ellie - it’s more stealth-combat gameplay. And for Abby you have all the tools for pushing forward. So, the first one is more meditative and the second is more aggressive. So are the perks. But the gameplay haven’t changed much since the first game was released. Okay, we can prone now and do silencers, but that’s all? I liked the gameplay of the first game and I like this gameplay at all, but without any great improvements I can’t rate it with the highest score. 7/10 for gameplay. And about the technical side of the game. The graphics looks great, but it’s not the best I’ve ever seen. The best is in RDR2. Next up, this game plays without any lags on PS4. That’s fantastic. But, unfortunately, this game has some minor bugs with animations or with textures loading or sometimes with NPC AI. All in all, this game is pretty polished, but you’ll definitely see some bugs. 8/10
    All in all, I wouldn’t even think to write down this review. But I see how people dislike this game and this is all about LGBT+ and killing Joel. So, I give this game for Metacritic’s score improvement I give 10/10.
    Summary: 8/10.    … Expand

И не взирая на то, что Элли возможно это ключ к спасению миллионов жизней, происходит то роковое событие в больнице Святой Марии, которое запустит цикл мести, которая всех погубит. К большому сожалению, правда, которая выходит наружу, оставляет Джоэла непрощённым и убитым. Элли, и ее посттравматический синдром, опускает ее на дно морали, жажда отмщения вызывает помутнение рассудка, и она превращается в убийцу, которая в итоге все теряет - друзей, любовь и вероятно смысл, так как месть по итогу не состоялась, а Джоэла, вероятно, она не успела простить. Ближе к концу хотелось сказать, а не пора ли тебе уже остановиться? Я считаю, что в финальной драке она не стала убивать Эбби, так как увидела в ней и Льве себя и Джоэла. Эбби потеряла отца, а далее и друзей, ее мотив прост и понятен, а то, что она и ее группа оставили Томми и Элли в живых, говорит о ее моральных принципах, которые демонстрируются на протяжении игры. Прошу заметить, что в театре Эбби также оставляет в живых Элли и Дину. Лев играет очень важную роль в будущей жизни Эбби, так как забота о нем - это теперь ее смысл. Эбби, как человек, вызывает симпатию и после всего случившегося за нее переживаешь больше, чем за остальных. Мне нравится Эбби так же, как и Элли. Я прошел путь от абсолютной ненависти к ней до истинного понимания и отношения к ней, и все это заслуга искусного рассказывания историй.

However, that is not what made the first one such a huge success; it was the story that made it stand out. The story for this game is basically a golf club to the head for the previous game. It destroyed everything the previous one built up and took a massive **** on it. The concepts were cool, but the execution was dog****. VERY DISAPPOINTED.… Expand

    A truly amazing game and story.

    I recommend playing it, letting it sink in a couple of days and replaying it again.
    There is a lot more in the story than what you see at first glance. A lot I did not see the first time.

    Gamplay is top notch, just like the sound, visuals and performance of the actors.

    My only problem with the game is that it feels like it drags on a bit long at some points.

    But other than that the game was fantastic. Most of the new characters were great, the gameplay is intense and brutal, and the story was definitely on par with the first, and was even more creative than the first.

    I loved an intense gameplay and amazing atmosphere of survival horror. Visuals are breathtaking and overall the game's definitely set the bar higher for single player third person games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Summary: While it has better gameplay, awful pacing ruins the story and makes a narrative driven game suffer as a result.

    There is no easy review of this game. The game isn't a ten nor a zero. It functions well, and has some improvements, but it isn't flawless. Not even close. The fact this game relies heavily on the story instead of gameplay really drags down the overall score.

    Story wise, it's biggest problem is pacing. It is **** awful. The current pacing of the story is: Be with Joel and Ellie until Joel's Death. Split between Ellie and the new character Abby, with a little more emphasis on Abby. Multiple flashbacks, and even flash backing in flashbacks (never do that ever.) Then the climax. The pacing is awful and should've been rewritten. Here's how I would've done it.

    Start off as Abby searching for a cure
    Finds out it doesn't exist because of Joel
    Goes on a manhunt for Joel (but doesn't know who it is)
    Switch to Joel and Ellie
    Battles not only zombies, but also these slave traders that are in the game
    Crosses paths with Abby
    Abby, not knowing that is the right Joel, befriends them
    Joel and Ellie have their argument
    Ellie tells Abby about Joel's decision (from LOS) in frustration
    Abby realizes that is the Joel she is searching for
    Abby (or someone else) kills Joel (Abby feels regret for doing so)
    Ellie goes on her revenge trip
    Abby gets captured
    Ellie finds Abby and have their final battle
    Player decision to either forgive or kill Abby.

    Puts that whole story in different context doesn't it? But that's just my thoughts.

    Gameplay, Naughty Dog did improve it. Some tweaking with the aiming, and Abby is a good laugh to play as. She feels pretty OP, and it is a blast. Punching zombies, her unbelievable speed (with her body type), she's hilarious and fun. I feel like it gets forgotten about because of her storyline.

    Anyway. It deserves the score it gets.    … Expand

    This game is a big disappointment to the first one (which was a masterpiece). It's like the ruined the legacy. So many plot holes. Crappy A.I . Story was not interesting at all. It took 7 years just for them to give us a big disappointment.

    I loved the 1st one and I really had no expectations for this one aside from a decent story, characters, and gameplay. I had no idea how disappointed I could be.

    I loved the 1st one and I really had no expectations for this one aside from a decent story, characters, and gameplay. I had no idea how disappointed I could be. I actually feel like NaughtyDog have a disdain for the fan base and gamers in general. I don't think NaughtyDog plans on making a third, they scuttled the ship just so they could use it's inevitable high sales as a megaphone to virtue signal. The story's not very good to say the least, the characters suck, and I spent half of the game wishing I could play as literally any other character and just wishing it were over. The fun action parts are short lived, and few and far between.
    The 1st game was story and gameplay 1st, then some the Dev's personal beliefs were shoehorned in as an afterthought, much more subtly, and not compromising the legitimacy of the overall game. With this one ideology came 1st and they shoehorned in a few good game elements to tie it all together. This is nothing more than an ideological memoir in the form of a game, and it's so heavy handed about it that it just seems desperate, and maybe even a bit spiteful to fans of the original, and I get the idea that "if u don't like it then your the problem" was on their mind a lot as they made this game. This is mostly a soundboard for NaughtyDog's personal ideology with some good game elements sprinkled in as an afterthought.
    I don't really care who, or what, u are but as character that I'm playing in a game I need to be able to relate with the character, or at least sympathize with them. I don't think I'm alone with this either. Given the majority of gamers are guys I don't think most players will be able to relate to these characters. Who is the target audience of this game then??? Objectively I understand the characters and their motivations, but Subjectively I can't relate to them and I just don't care about most of them and worse yet I don't like most them, despite their best efforts. I just wanted it to end but I kept playing hoping they could somehow still make the story satisfying by the end, but nope... And a good game isn't one that u wish would just end. They jumped the shark so bad Henry Winkle would be jealous.
    I give it a 1/10 because it's leaching off of something great but really doesn't offer anything by itself, other than ideological subversion, and the bones of a great game with great potential that they put a lot of effort into undermining. Most of the good gameplay elements were in the 1st game so I'm not impressed. Bigger levels just make the a terrible story last longer and since there are so few NPC fights your time's mostly spent looking for items. Great graphics and motion capture won't make an ugly duck into a swan, if anything it just gives u a hi res image of how ugly it really is compared to what it could've been. I really wanted to like it but this game is actually pretty terrible imo. If u want to play a good game play the 1st one, I'm gonna replay it just to get the bad taste of this hot garbage out of my mouth.    … Expand

    Enfim terminei. Creio q vou precisar de um tempo para absorver. Um jogo que a filosofia dele é tão profunda que destrói seu psicológico tentando assimilar. Junto com o The Last 1 que tive a oportunidade de jogar dayone no PS3, juntos são melhores jogos da história. O que é apresentado pode ser discutido por anos pois as nossas verdades são muito relativas. ID: CV-LOST

    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]
