    Os gráficos estão incríveis, o realismo se encaixa muito bem na jogabilidade. A história do jogo é muito boa e há momentos que ela É o melhor jogo q já joguei!

    amazing graphics, gameplay, music and story build. even though I understand where all the user critics are coming from, a game or a story certainly isn't bad because it didn't play out the way you like it to. that aside, I absolutely enjoyed every bit of this experience. my only complaint is, that it offers no multiplayer, apart from that it's a masterpiece

    I would give 0 but I love graphic and sound. They are 4.5 out of 5. But I don’t play games for nice graphic. Your story telling and game story experience is a joke. The main reason to play game like this is a story and you f it up hardcore. RIP

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game included a fluent mechanic to play, I liked that a lot. I'm 32 yo I'm a gamer since I was 10, and I don't think this is a good story, they make you get so angry at Abby and then they make you play as if you were her. I understand the message here but you can't simply be sympathetic with her because she was so cruel with Joel just for revenge. Ellie's story is very different, Joel looked at her as the daughter he once had, furthermore he cared about her more than itself and he protected her from the fireflies. On the other hand the Abby's dad did not even answer if he would sacrificed Abby for saving humanity suggesting that he would never do that (obviously). There are many differences in both stories, and I totally refused to play as Abby.
    I played part 1 and they made a connexion with me, now what I feel is a total aversion for this game, I feel I lost my money because I don't wanna play as Abby and I never will, and that's a half game. To make things worse, when playing as Abby you fight back with Ellie and you have to win, that´s sh...t (sorry).

    For a movie maybe this plot is fine, but not for a game where you project yourself in a character, ND did not understand that and now I have a game half played, and a total reluctance to buy part III or a DLC (if ever exists) or see the sitcom.

    For Neil, we don't deserve sarcasm here, it's totally disrespectful for your consumers.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS!!

    I knew Joel was going to die since the very first trailer came out, it was the only thing that made sense for Ellie’s character arc moving forward. A lot of the people giving the game bad reviews either didn’t play it and are basing it purely on what they read on the leaks, or are mad that the story didn’t go exactly how they wanted it too. But the thing is, if a game’s story was so easy to guess it would be a pretty boring story. The way Naughty Dog handled this story was nearly perfect. It kept surprising me at every turn. I didn’t always like the way the story went, but I’m pretty sure that that’s the point. You can’t control the outcome of everything in life, you can’t control what other people do, especially in a lawless world like this one.

    Another thing that deserves praise is the way this game humanizes ‘the bad guys’. Everything from Abby’s story to little dialogue between npc’s makes us sympathize a little more with them. They are just trying to survive, just like the people in Jackson, though I personally think the WLF were still kinda bad.

    By making you play as Abby and experiencing her life and her relationships to others, the game makes it clear that not everything in life is black and white. Joel has murdered hundreds of parents, siblings, partners, sons and daughters. He left a trail of blood wherever he went. Everything he’s done was bound to catch up to him sooner or later. And that’s not saying Joel’s actions weren’t justified, in fact I think the Fireflies and Abby’s dad were a bunch of idiots for only running a couple of tests and immediately killing the only hope for a vaccine without properly studying Ellie’s condition and the fungus’ behavior over time. But no one brought that up, instead Joel just massacred them.

    Also, some people seem to be angry about Ellie letting Abby go in the end. But her doing that makes sense. She understands that what Joel did was unforgivable, that by killing Abby’s friends she continued the cycle of hatred. Abby tried to break that cycle by letting them go in Seattle, she even refuses to fight Ellie at first in California. I think that while drowning Abby, Ellie understood two things. One: killing Abby won’t bring Joel back or make her nightmares stop, only she can do that by herself. And two: if she kills Abby she would have to kill Lev too, otherwise he would hunt her and the cycle of hatred and revenge would go on and on. It was the same choice that Kratos failed to do at the end of God of War. By letting Abby go Ellie could truly move on to a happier life.

    By the way, every single flashback with Joel made extremely emotional, never before has any piece of media made me feel so much loss and sorrow. By the time the end credits rolled I was a sobbing mess. And when I finally managed to calm down they play that cover duet with Joel and Ellie. That was simultaneously a beautiful thing and a dick move. After that I spent around 20 minutes crying like a baby.

    All in all, The Last of Us Part 2 is a beautiful game with a brilliant story, magnificent visuals, and amazing gameplay. It is definitely my favorite game ever made. I 120% recommended playing it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics and Animations are great, But The Story, dialogue and Characters are sooo bad OMG. The Story is so bad and the writing doesn't make any sense. I tried giving this game a chance even after reading the leaks but the context actually made it worse. This game destroyed the characters we knew and they were doing stuff that doesn't match up with what we know about them and they made Ellie such a bad character and the game tries to force you to like characters that are so bleak and unlikable. THIS GAME DOESN'T EXIST FOR ME. Lazy writing and trying to surprise everyone with bad choices that doesn't make sense. And the ending makes it so much worse. You don't enjoy this game but you also don't learn anything from it and If it's about the cycle of violence then why is the main villain (who is a psychopath btw) is not punished for their violence but Ellie and Joel is?!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me just say my piece and be on my way. A lot of people distaste this game only because they are comfortable with what they are familiar with—Joel and Ellie. Joel had countless sins to pay for, and he never thought to atone for them. What do you think the cost is for killing hundreds of people... for actually nothing? The original goal in TLOU1 was to get Ellie to where she needed to go. period. Yet so many people are upset with Ellie for killing people for “no reason” in TLOU2 without remembering Joel did the exact. Same. Thing. I read. I read a lot of other opinions because not only mine matters and it comes to show that there is always a price to pay when it comes to vengeance. Nothing comes for free, and both experiences that. While playing as Ellie, you see her take on this obsession, and lose herself throughout the gameplay. This is the most crisp version of character development I’ve ever seen. Even when choking people out, go back and listen to how both Ellie and Abby talks to them. ND didn’t put that in coincidently. Character development to some people is like going from bad to good, but it can always be reversed. This game does it’s justice by showing you antiparallel versions of character development. Abby *attempting* to atone for her sins, while Ellie deluges into them. It’s heartbreaking to know what happens to Joel and Ellie, don’t get me wrong. PLEASE don’t get me wrong. Joel had a parental side that I was at times jealous towards. The most loving parental figures in gaming. But it’s clear narrative of what happens when you have bloodlust. I didn’t know why we had to play as Abby until you put yourself in her world. A lot of TLOU fan base lacks empathy. Simple. If you didn’t you’d understand at least to an extent what Abby was feeling and what she did it for. And of course, she paid her price. She lost her friends, a safe place to stay, her status, and even the original love of her life (even though she already kind of lost him). She lost everything finding Joel. And Ellie? Oh man, if she stayed at the farm, karma could’ve had its way... no? By this, I mean, if Ellie would have stayed at the farm with Dina and JJ, Abby for a fact would have been dead. Dried up at the pillars. In a contrasting idea, Ellie got a hell of a short end of the stick. The loss of her ability to efficiently play the guitar?Trauma? PTSD? Of course, I think my own opinion has a flaw because how do you get over PTSD without any actual help? Ellie thought that the only way to get over this was to finish the job. Who am I to say she wouldn’t have been right? Hell, it might or might not’ve fixed her problems — but the fact of the matter still remains. Because of Ellie’s obsession towards Abby, even to the point of saying Abby's name as a mantra, it showed the path of destruction of not trusting the universe. Not believing Abby will get what she’ll get. Ellie ended up saving Abby’s life which is the complete opposite of the original job. By going back for Abby, she lost her family, and her primary comfort for remembering Joel...the guitar (which comes back prominently thru the game as a reminder).As said before, and I’ll say it again; the game shows two different points of vengeance. One of obsession (Ellie), and one of atonement(Abby). We HATE to see a familiar face to be the one of obsession, but not everything is all rainbows. People died because of them. Ellie chose to go after Abby AGAIN after being spared. That’s obsession. Clear as day. Abby chose to not fight Ellie until she had to because it was not. Her. Place. Abby chose to help those kids because she felt like she had to atone for something. Both Ellie and Abby had someone pregnant in their loves which is a sign of a new life. A new beginning. Ellie killed one... while Abby spared the other (but all thanks to Lev. Aka, Abby’s ATONEMENT. If not for Lev, Abby’s story would be much different. Lev is her alibi for change, and a need to right the wrong. Where is Ellie’s?).

    And tommy? boy did he also have to pay. Not only did he become disabled, but he lost his whole wife. Who said no one paid? People that didn’t play a direct role (on either Ellie or Abby’s side) ended up dead or hurt/scarred. Those two made it more than about them. And that was their flaw. And this is why ignorance is bliss.

    All in all, i like to try to apply these things into everyday life. Any source of literature, or entertainment has its ways to reaching to people. You guys really just think people make stuff for no reason? Without a ‘lesson’ to be learned or anything? Karma will get it’s peace. Vengeance will get you what you want, but it’ll get you as well. And finally,

    Forgiveness takes time. And time heals all wounds.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the game is amazing in many aspects. The gameplay is never boring while we are playing and the animations are on a whole new level with a massive variety of killing, dying, hitting, shooting, dodging animations. The prone factor is an awesome added feature that helps in many aspects. The sound of every single weapon, music, background sound, explosions, crafting, weapon upgrades, item pick up, infected, ellie's steps on the floor, everything that is related to sound is just flawless and are for the most part really pleasurous to hear giving that full immersion into the game giving us a sound orgasm like feeling. The wide variety of weapons is incredible and larger compared to the first game and we get to experience different weapons with ellie and abby wich is awesome since we get to see that both of them really aren't that much alike when it comes to fighting style and the way they choose to approach the enemy. while I played with ellie i liked to go for a more stealthy approach while with abby I most of the times was the first one shooting my shots and making noise. It's interesting to see that the two characters have different fighting styles according to theyr physical strength and battle experience. Graphics wise there is nothing to complain about it is by far the All PS4 can give and it is amazing to see how much attention to the details Naughty Dog payed because it is incredibly well done. When u shoot enemies or stab them, when you get close to a tree or a wall, the psysics of the ropes and eletric cables, the snow and the clothes. Now for the facial expressions, by far the best ones so far. When u look down with abby on a high place you can tell by her face that she is terrified of heights, the face ellie makes while stabing the enemy,or even when you get shot. It is just incredible what they managed to achieve with the face expressions. Now for the story. I wouldn't say it is bad. I actually think it is really good (this is my opinion, if you didn't like it just don't judge). I think the gore like death of Joel was a litle soon but we get those flashbacks that maded me cry A LOT. As for Ellie's part I have nothing bad to say. The way the story is told up to that part is amazing. Then comes abby. I'm like ok imma have to play as abby, whatever. I understand that with that Naughty Dog is trying to make us see the two sides of the coin and it really makes us think. I think that in terms of environments abby's part was actually much better than Ellie's beacuse while in ellie's part we see much green and plants, even though it is amzingly detailed, it is pretty much the same. But in Abby's part we even get to go to the top of those super tall buildings and go through those amazing bridges. Now my issue with abby isn't the character itself because she did what she did and she had her reasons...That is understandable she did the same ellie did, to seek revenge. But I just think that Naughty Dog made us play TOO MUCH with abby, there were parts that could have not been shown like abby and owen's sex scene and when abby comes back after that night when u go back to yara and lev you could have just taken us to them but ok. According to the end of the game, I think it is very well done. She doesn't get her revenge BUT like, look at what they did to each other, both ellie and abby have lost so many things because of each other. I loved and that last flashback between ellie and joel just killed me. i loved it. So all in all, I think it is a spectacular game, animation and graphics wise it is amazing. The sounds are the best and the story in my opinion wasnt as bad as people say it was. I wouldn't say I liked TLOU PART II better than TLOU 1 but TLOU PART 2 sure was an incredible game with massive achievements. I give it a solid 9/10… Expand

    Great game with a solid story, but lacks the pacing and focus of the original. The first game knew when to step off the gas and give the player a breather where this one has just one speed; full. Well worth a play. Storywise it wanders off its vengeance theme a little too often to really hit the mark as well as the original, but a strong cast of new characters makes it enjoyable nonetheless.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's sad to see how many of these reviews are people just review-bombing the game. I find it hard to believe so many people managed to finish a 20 hour game in less than a day. Don't get me wrong, there are criticisms to be made with the game, but most of them are hidden behind 0/10 reviews submitted by people that haven't even finished the game, have only reached a certain point, and even some by people who don't have the game and only read the leaks. If you take a look at the reviews on the Last Of Us 2's store page, where you actually have to own the game to review, you can see a major difference.

    Overall, I found the experience of Last of Us 2 enjoyable. The graphics were gorgeous, and was every bit the technical masterpiece that we had been promised. It looked beautiful and ran smoothly, even on the original PS4. The mocap technology was insane, and the acting on show here was immersive. I really have to give credit to the actors here, they did such a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life.

    The gameplay was similar to the first game, mostly stealth mixed with tense moments and adrenaline filled combat. The infected and clickers are even more terrifying than usual, and the game does a good job of getting your heart going with a good mix of scares and tension. The combat animations have been improved, which makes the combat feel more fluid and overall more enjoyable.

    As for the story... I have mixed feelings on this one, but that doesn't mean the story was bad. Certainly not to warrant a 0/10. Obviously, after Joel was killed, I was left feeling angry and saddened as most were. From that point, I could tell the story was going to be one of revenge. However, the story then begins to split off a bit in an attempt to change your perspective, which I think was a bit of a hit and miss for some. At first, I wasn't a fan of the change, but it kept me invested in the story and near the end, I didn't know how I was feeling. Once I had reached the ending, i was left feeling kind of unsatisfied and lost. A part of me feels like Naughty Dog wanted to leave players feeling that way. I think they made a big risk that for some, was not well received.

    However, what it all comes down to is whether I think the experience I got from The Last Of Us 2 was worth spending my money on. For me, yes it was. Did the game managed to evoke emotions out of me? Yes. Did it give me happy moments? Sad Moments? Heart wrenching moments? Moments that made me question myself? Question the characters and their motives? Made me disgusted with myself? Yes to all. And to me, that's what makes a good story, especially a Naughty Dog story.
    I was glad to have enjoyed this experience, and I think the ending is one that I need to sit on for a while to see how I truly feel.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game will definitely win game of the year without any difficulty! I think the only game that can beat head-on, would be Red Dead 2. The graphics and physics of that game, so absurd! Facial expressions are too surreal!
    The story is very captivating and honestly, I found it a bit cliché because it involved "revenge", which was already somewhat predictable. I didn't expect Joel to die anytime soon, like early in the game.
    The water, the fire, the trees, the leaves and the setting of each scene are so carefully detailed that it makes us think:
    "IF THIS IS SO, HOW WILL THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSOLES BE?"
    You see? It scares how realistic it is.
    So far, there have only been 3 bugs with me that made me die during the campaign, 3 bugs that were really funny.
    Another and unique moment, when the reflections in the mirrors failed, but that was it the game is perfect and surpasses RDR 2 in many ways!
    To see that some idiot users are purposely giving low marks because the game makes Ellie a Lesbian and all this story of love triangle and love dramas.
    Actually, **** Ellie's sexual orientation, for me, go be happy! I don't care about that, this game deserves the title of Game of the Year!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone is upset about Joel, but the real tragedy here is what they've done to their female characters, and that The Last of Us 2, is decidedly unfeminist.

    Before I continue, I'd like to note that I've never left a review for a game, and never used Metacritic - but this game offended me so much, that I decided to make an account and add my voice to the conversation.

    As a female gamer, it always excited me to see great and well written female characters. Of-course I always appreciate fantastic male characters and really loved Joel and Ellie in the 1st game. Ellie was such a realistic and engaging female character because she was so smart, funny, resourceful, and while she had her struggles, she always tried to be a good person. In the sequel, all of that is gone. She is mean, depressive, monotone and selfish. I understand the developers, wanted her to be “dark” and “ a strong women” but all they’ve done is suck the life out of an amazing character. Why is it, that to be “a strong women”, it means to cave people's skulls in? What about other strong traits besides just physical strength like kindness, leadership, forgiveness, intelligence? Ellie is a bad person, constantly putting her pregnant girlfriends/friend's life at risk for her own selfish causes - it’s very unfortunate to see. It’s really unfortunate to see “strong women” constantly be angry, mean and selfish, and not allowing them to be smart, fun, kind or wise-cracky, like male protagonists often get to be (like Nathan Drake from Uncharted). That’s what made Ellie in the first game, such a breath of fresh air! But the depiction of the female characters here is very stereotypical of a “strong women”. The same is done to Abby. Abby is also a “strong female character” but doesn’t have any real strength, agency, or control over her life. It’s very unfortunate to see another female character thrown into a tired “love triangle” with this self-centered loser character, Owen, and be pitted against his other on-off again girlfriend Mel. Why can’t Mel and Abby be friends? All of Abby’s flashbacks are about Owen, and Owen pressuring her to do things she first says no to or is obviously uncomfortable following along with. Owen is often mean to Abby, which reeks of the sexist “men are mean to you because they like you” trope. There is also a disturbing “sex scene” where Abby and Owen start fighting then it turns to “angry sex”. You spend much of Abby’s time worrying about Owen, who doesn’t seem to care much for Abby no matter how much she tries to please him. Abby and Owen’s “romance” is dated, sexist, boring, and tired and I'm shocked how much game time was dedicated to this.

    When the player assumes the role of both of these women, they are given no real choices. Due to the fact that Ellie was not given a choice whether to sacrifice herself in the first game, I thought that regarding gameplay, this game would introduce Ellie with some choices to make. But no, through the entire game, you never get to make any choices.

    I would have liked to see more of Nora and Yara as I thought both were much better written female characters, for the little game time they got.

    For a studio that claimed to put out a feminist product, I’m very disappointed that it appears we are taking steps backwards.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's my brutally honest review from someone who's favorite game of all time is The Last of Us: This is so heartbreaking to write. The Last of Us is the first game I really fell in love with. And I waited 4 years for a poor story and a **** ending. I enjoyed the game gameplay wise and this is one of the best games graphics wise that I have ever played. Now granted the first last of us is my favorite game of all time but the last of us 2 doesn't do the things the first game did great justice. Honestly the game overstayed its welcome. It took me 28 hours to complete the game really looking for all the collectibles and even got the trophy for exporing every place in downtown seattle. The plot wasn't great for the time you play with Ellie up until you play as Abby and then the story gets even worse. We loved the first game for it's story more than anything else. It's just sad to see how they treated this game. The characters are alright and out of all the new characters I liked Dina the most and Jesse was alright. I absolutely HATE Abby. The fact that we have to play with her after she killed Joel sucked ass. I don't care about her story and the whole time I was playing as Abby I was itching to play with Ellie. Even though you get all weapons and new upgrade branches it doesn't bring anything fresh. There's this plotline with Abby where you save these two kids and play with them but it feels like a side quest. There's also this one sex scene with Abby and this dude named Owen who you don't care about and you have to see their relationship unfold like we give a flying **** The scene feels so forced and they do it while Owen is dating this one chick who we also don't care about and she is pregnant. Based off what we've seen from Owen it just seems out of character. Everything seemed out of place and it goes on for far too long. The first games runtime seemed perfect and it never got boring because it had great pacing. The gameplay is fantastic though and feels really fluid and polished with a few things added with the game being much more open which I enjoyed. Another thing is that the game is oozing with atmosphere and it's one of the most atmoshperic games i've ever played especially with how good the sound design is. For a story based IP this game lacks in what made fans love it. I wouldn't be mad if naughty dog tried their luck in a new horror based IP because of how tense and atmospheric this game is. Also Neil Druckmann is an absolute horndog!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If Arthur Morgan was killed by Micah halfway through Red Dead 2 and I was forced to play as Micah afterward, I would have immediately stopped playing and done something else. I don't care how wonderful the game looks, technically sound it is, or enjoyable the gameplay is; the predecessor to this game was about the strong narrative and the characters. The sequel has little to do with the events from the previous game and nothing to do with the journey Joel's character went through as the protagonist. I can't help but think that Neil Druckman resented the fact that most fans of The Last of Us liked Joel the most, because his character was really done a disservice here. I also dislike the way this whole cycle of violence story is told. In a game like God of War, you have similar themes of revenge and violence, but Kratos is making an effort to change and to teach his son to be a better man than he was, while making plenty of mistakes along the way. This game, on the other hand, just bludgeons you with violence, cruelty and misery without any levity because cycle of violence. The conclusion for Ellie's character was just as unsatisfying and nonsensical as Joel's. I truly hope this trend of deconstructive storytelling doesn't destroy any more of the characters I'm invested in.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll say what everyone already knows: graphics, character models, environmental expansion and design, dialogue, weapons, combat, stealth, and general gameplay are all incredible. Naughty Dog has once again gone above and beyond to show what they're capable of. I'm not the least bit disappointed in any one of these things.

    I also loved the story and the writing. I think Joel's death, one aspect of the story a lot of people had/have a problem with, was inevitable and, quite frankly, not undeserved. That's not to say anyone deserves to have somebody play golf with their head, just that he had it ("it" meaning death) coming. I love him as much as I love Ellie; they're my two favorite characters in video games and I live for their dynamic in the first game. But he killed so many, indiscriminately and often brutally.

    After an entire game of killing hunters, soldiers, and cannibals (a bit of torture included), Joel massacred a hospital of Fireflies, killed a surgeon, shot an unarmed Marlene, and robbed the world of a possible cure. Yes, attaining that cure meant Ellie's death, but we know and Joel knew that she would want them to do it, even had she known the consequence. The second game only confirms this for us.

    Joel admitted to Ellie that he was once "on the other side," meaning he was a hunter. At one point, he was so bad his own brother had to abandon him, and we know Tommy's no Mother Teresa himself. Joel had it coming.

    And to those who think this game is "disrespectful" to him and his memory: the entire story is Ellie avenging him, despite his misdeeds and lies. We see her love for him shine through in dialogue and flashbacks and especially in her music, despite the fact that he lied to her about the Fireflies. Despite the fact that she eventually found out the truth. She misses him with every fiber of her being, just like we do.

    The only reason I've chosen to give this game a 9/10 instead of a 10/10? Abby. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike her. I sympathize with her (although not nearly as much as I sympathize with Ellie or Joel) and I can see things from her perspective and understand why she did what she did. But I still didn't want to play her for so long. Stepping into her shoes here and there would have been fine, like it was in the beginning, but playing the latter half of the game as her is...questionable.

    The gameplay and dialogue and characterization are still immaculate as we play as Abby. I liked meeting her friends, the nameless faces who were there with her as she killed Joel. I liked getting to know them as people and seeing her in a new light as her loyal companions. But I'd gotten so used to being with Ellie...it just felt wrong. In more ways than one. I didn't want to leave Ellie behind for anyone else, and doing so for the woman who killed Joel made it feel even more out of place.

    Still, I loved the game, and I will be replaying it soon and recommending it to friends and family. I'd also strongly recommend it to anyone who happens to read this.    … Expand

    The game is good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well. After playing for about 23 hours i can finally review this game. Killing Joel in such a heartless and rushing way was something which i can't and won't forget. . As he went to the city in Part 1 with Ellie by car, he instantly knew what the hell was going on, as some random people apparently needed his help. You could argue that after 4 years you get lazy and start to trust people more. But it's Joel: A character who is very stubborn and wants to avoid any risk at any costs, so it's not very likely that he would change even a bit. Playing Abby was no problem for me, even if she was the killer of Joel. But nearly half of the game? Damn. No way. In addition the game tried to make the player emotionally attached after killing Joel. I can say that in my case it showed the absolute opposite. I had literally no emotion left at all because all i waited for 7 years was torn apart after not even 2 hours in such a horrible way. Scenes in Last of Us Part 1, which still make me so emotional and makes me nearly cry till this day; while playing Last of Us Part 2 i felt nothing. Absolutely nothing. After debating if the game is good or bad, i decided to do neither of it. So it's a 5/10. Rest in Piece Last of Us. I will always remember your first part as the only part, which remains my favourite game of all time forever.

    Pros:
    Graphics
    Gameplay
    "Quick Time Events"
    Nice side characters like Jesse or Gina

Having just beaten it, 30-40 hours later, exhausted and extremely pensive, one of my biggest takeaways was that this has to be one of the most ambitious video games ever made. Even if you dont like the story, the graphics are stellar, so are the animations, voice-work, sound design, production design, cinematography, level design, set pieces and especially the moment to moment gameplay. The story wont gel with everyone on the other hand. Its well written but not as tightly scripted as the first game. Its told through different characters and the narrative sometimes jumps back and forth in time to set up said characters. As a fan however you should always strive to give the thing your supposed to love, the benefit of the doubt. Some people, and so called «fans», havent even played it, they are just reacting to rumors, or worse yet reacting to the reactions someone else had when playing this game. Its a storybased single player game, immersion, agency and player input have always been paramount. And if you want to stand at a distanse and poke holes at it you may do so. But you do so in a very disingenious manner. Just like a Nolan movie, if you "go with it" and allow yourself to be immersed you will find the end result to be extremely emotionally rewarding, in spite of the odd cringy line or the rare logical lapse. As a fan I gave it the benefit of the doubt because its the sequel to one of my favourite games of all time And when the story went somewhere unexpected i thought to myself, "this must be for a reason." Turns out its true. And at the end i was exhausted, contemplative and full of emotions. Kind of the hallmark of good storytelling. Kind of what the first game did.

    To those who are on the fence, give it the benefit of the doubt. I think you will come away impressed by its sheer scope, its gameplay and its extreme ambition. I for one cant believe what they have achieved here and im so happy that i got to experience it. And for those out there making spam accounts (i see you there reddit), not having played it, not giving it a chance, doing it out of some spiteful, capriceous or political motivation - you will most likely never make something this good.

The gameplay was great, I spent quite a bit of time playing with the ropes lol and the hunts for the codes for the safes was fun and never got annoying. Although I must say I still hate Abby. The flashbacks with her did not creat the same level of empathy I had for the original characters and the only reason i found myself rooting for her at all was to save poor Lev. I do wish Ellie had a better ending, as i feel she ended up exactly as she feared... completely alone... But on another note, if she really really wanted to she could find a way to play guitar with her other hand. Artistic people have overcome greater disabilities to continue creating music.

    A perfect sequel. Rather than trying to compare the 2 campaigns, I see them as one long masterful story. This game is simply a must-play.

    This game takes you through so many emotions and has great character development. It has the sad and powerful elements of the first Last of Us but boosted to another level. Naughty Dog pulled out out all the stops and I am so glad they did. Truly a beautiful game.

    Не понимаю заниженных оценок в первый день выхода. Ведь за столь короткое время её было просто невозможно пройти.
    Наиграл около 10 часов и могу сказать, что за исключением некоторых спорных сюжетных поворотов игра отличная.    Не понимаю заниженных оценок в первый день выхода. Ведь за столь короткое время её было просто невозможно пройти.

    It's a good game. The characters are amazing. It's not a 10/10 but it's certainly not a 0. It's so sad this hate campaign because it's so rare to se a game so moraly intrincated, so critical about the state or things we r living. I think it's amazin hto have a game fulfilling his social role. As a social statement this game is a 1000/1000.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People waited for 7 years for a sequel on a great game and what people got is a garbage storyline based game. The story sucks they made a character (abby) that killed the chracter you love (joel). Which is fine you can still play as Ellie but the thing is they tried to make you hate Ellie for some reason like having Ellie kill dogs showing flashbacks of Ellie being a dick to Joel. And whats worse is they forced you to play Abby the character you hate and forced you to like her. Like i dont a give a damn about her father and friends he killed joel. And another stupid thing is when Ellie is traumatized by killing a pregnant lady like she killed a lot of people before that but no killing pregnant ladies draws the line. The characters that are killed are forgettable like manny and jesie its like they died and nobody cared. They got a few screen time and then poof they out of the story. Like they forced this dumb ass storyline to our throats.… Expand

    Just an utter trash of a story. Don't spend your money, don't support this dog.

    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]
