    GamePlay bastante fluída e um combate nunca vista no mundo dos games até hoje. A história é bem construída que apesar de ser bem polêmica, trouxe várias reviravoltas e muitas horas de gameplay em deixar bem curioso sobre a trama, com muitos imprevistos.

    I ignored the leaks and hate, but after playing through the game in its entirety I must agree that The Last of Us Part II is a disappointing sequel.

    Pro's: -The game starts off really strong, we meet our beloved Ellie and Joel a few years after the ending of the first game and things start from there. I really liked this part, the relationship between the two is written really well and    I ignored the leaks and hate, but after playing through the game in its entirety I must agree that The Last of Us Part II is a disappointing sequel.

    Pro's:
    -The game starts off really strong, we meet our beloved Ellie and Joel a few years after the ending of the first game and things start from there. I really liked this part, the relationship between the two is written really well and I started to get really invested in the story. The first few hours are engaging and I really did not get why people hated this game so much, but after a while things started to take really strange turns and eventually it even got to the point of me despising the game and the things it made me sit through.

    - Graphics and Sound are top tier. You cannot say this is a bad game on a technical level, the level design, sound design and overall look is amazing and you get really immersed in the world.

    -Gameplay: if you like the first game's gameplay loop I guess you will like this as well. It's basically the same thing just with a few new extra things added on to it. I feel like they could have been more creative on this front but I guess it's an okay system if you want the sequel to have the same feel.

    Con's:
    At a certain point the game makes you play as a character you absolutely despise, and tries very hard to make you feel sympathy for this character by showing their side of the events that unfold though the game. This really really doesn't work and made me want to quit the game multiple times because I could not stand playing as this character for 5/6 HOURS. I only finished it to get my money's worth but the final quarter of the game is an absolute slog to get through and I would not blame anyone to quit at that point.

    Basically this last part ruined the game, if they cut it out or maybe made it just 1 flashback scene and changed the ending the story would feel more tight and rewarding. And even though it wouldn't be as great as the first game's story at least it would have been an okay overall plot with a few strong highlights.    … Expand

    I don’t usually take my time to write a proper review, but seeing this hate bandwagon made me realize there are a lot of people who have nothing to do in life so they **** on art they don’t enjoy (which is fine if they don’t like), but that’s not the case for most people giving 0’s to this game a couple of hours after the game came out (the game, I reiterate, is about 18-30h long.

    But moving on to my honest opinion about this game in particular: I think the characters really stood out to me. As in any Naughty Dog game, this one is also very character-driven. Ultimately, this is a story about revenge, hate, and violence, but also about redemption and forgiveness. Yes, I agree that this theme has been heavily used in every entertainment medium, but they rarely do it justice. I can happily say that The Last Of Us Part II has not did justice to the theme itself, but also did stay true to the world, the character development, and the hidden symbology behind this perfectly crafted cyclic narrative (which I will not spoil, but it has to do with the ending itself). All the narrative beats fit perfectly with each other, and it always brings other elements of surprise, right when you think you know what to expect for the ending, another story beat hits you in the face and changes your perspective. Also, you should never go to part II expecting the same thing you experienced in part I. Although that same feeling can be felt through other types of relationships, and some perfect flashbacks, the first one is very different from the second one. Lastly, I just want to say that I think this game will not only define how we all experience video games in the future, but also define how they are engineered, thought, and its story will be discussed and debated for many years to come, just like we did for the first one.

I didn’t mind the first two things: the first one just seemed fitting for this harsh world and the second one, to me, was, well, a nice and surprising twist. However, the last part was just stretching it, repetitive and frankly unbelievable. Enough is enough. So, the game left me unsatisfied, but still I would not want to have missed out on it: at times it’s hugely atmospheric, thanks to graphics, level design and gameplay. Also, I would have liked the discussions, if people weren’t being so hysterical.… Expand

    Great locations, great visual, great technologies, great flashback's moments, great voice acting, good script-action moments.

    Disgusting story without a sense, not interesting characters, pointless dialogs, old 2013's gameplay (with minimal innovations in my opinion), useless exploring, stupid AI.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pro:
    The graphics are good, the gameplay is ok.

    Con:
    While I never were the biggest fan of The last of us gameplay wise, the story always was a thing which I liked about the game. I liked the character dynamic between Joel and Ellie and how those characters grew together through the story. I also liked left behind. It fitted the overall narrative of the main game.

    The second game however completely fell short in that regard. I was fine that they killed Joel. Killing of characters for the narrative is a common tool nowdays to bring the story forward and the last of us had it's shock moments either - the death of Joels daughter for instance. But I completely disliked HOW they killed Joel off. This is not how a beloved character should have ended. It felt cheap and unnessecary violent just for the sake of violence. That also brings me to my next problem. The game is unnessecary violent. I don't have problems with splatter or violence in games but the game never managed to make me feel violent despite the fact that the violence in the game is really drastic and grim. It simply missed it's purpose as a narrative element.
    That's mainly because the game is as said violent for the sake of beeing violent. Violence does not make a saw move a good mirror for the darkest abysses of mankind, and neither does violence serve this game in that regard.
    If you want a good example how grim violence can bring forward a good story you should take a look at Spec Ops: the Line. Yager did that right with the violence and despair of their mortar scene and the partial degration of the so called protagonist to a full fledged war criminal. The last of us 2 is macabre at best and cheap at worst.
    Furthermore does it feel a lot like they tried to make Ellie more unsympathic through the violence and Abby more symphatic. This does not work and doesn't help Abby as a character very much.
    You have to play through at least 10 hours of the game as a character which is hardly likable and who is despite all efforts of the devs simply unsympathic. I don't care if Abby is trans, well whatever the devs think is appropriate, but I do care if a main character which I have to deal with for half of a game is neither relatable nor likable or at least a decent protagonist or villian.
    Abby is in my opinion simply a bad written unlikable and dull douchbag.
    I also don't think that her beeing trans is adding any good value to the story here the way she is written. There would have been quite a few ways how that could have added value to the story, but like Naughty Dog handled it in this game it simply didn't. If I look at Ellie I think her beeing lesbian would also have given a lot of narrative possibilities, but they weren't exhausted in this game either. There are plenty of good ways to design a good villian and Abby failed miserably in that regard. And so did she as a protagonist.

    It also doesn't help that Ellie does not kill Abby in the end despite the things Abby has done. That makes the end unbelievable and the conclusion unsatisfying. Especially since Ellie is a broken character in the end and Abby comes out of this almost unbothered (by the games standards). But I assume that Naughty Dog did this to set up the opportunity to make a third installment to the franchise with Abby as the maincharacter again. I really hope they don't do that. After this episode I really don't want another the last of us game.    … Expand

But should we play the same game again with Abby? And after the story of Abby over, then we play the same game again with Ellie. Playing guitar and babysitting scenes are extra boring.

    Was mich am meisten stört, ist das Gameplay. Das Sammeln von Craften von Gegenständen und Waffen spielt sich noch recht befriedigend und bis zum Schluss hatte ich Spaß daran, die Ruinen zu durchsuchen, aber das Schleichen und Kämpfen hat diesen repetitiven Ablauf leider nicht so gut überstanden.
    Auch wenn sich Waffen, Fähigkeiten und Gegner im Laufe des Spieles ändern, hat das Spiel es geschafft, dass das Kämpfen für mich zu nervigen Unterbrechungen verkam.
    Die Story, die Welt, die Grafik, alles ist hier überragend, aber immer wenn ich in einen Bereich kam, bei dem ich schon die nächsten 8 Gegner sehen konnte, musste ich mich zwingen, weiter zu spielen.

    Ich vermute allerdings auch, dass dieses Problem eher an mir liegt. Vermutlich bin ich einfach nicht zu Kampfsystemen von Naughty Dog kompatibel, denn ähnlich erging es mir auch schon mit der Uncharted Reihe.

    Im Endeffekt hatte ich dennoch Spaß mit dem Spiel und die Geschichte war wie auch im Vorgänger oder Uncharted sehr schön. Auf der anderen Seite war ich aber auch froh, als ich das Spiel beendet hatte.    … Expand

    Gameplay (9/10)
    Now for ta majority part of the game you control Ellie, and she feels totally different from Joel. She is light, faster and agile. And now there's an option to dodge the enemy's attacks, I got saved a lot of times thanks to this feature. Another new move is jumping, although it could have been done automatic, they decided to put a button to press for jumping (that isn't bad but I doubt that would be necessary). I'm glad they didn't change a lot from the original gameplay, because they are the things this game is so great. Stealth is a must if you are doing a Hard running, but if you are taking it light is fun to shoot them all.

    Graphics 11/10
    Stunning, can't find the words to describe the beautiful graphics this game has. It is impressive this game runs on a PS4 which has technology from 7 years ago. I got amazed they cared for every detail, the foldings on Ellie's jacket when changing weapons to the spores that can be seen floating in certain places. Speechless.

    Music 10/10
    The music fits perfectly for every situation in this game, very relaxing when taking a ride on horse.. or very stressing during action scenes. The acoustic guitar is a trademark of this game, even there is a mini game where you can play the guitar using the D-pad. I hope someone could play a song with the in-game guitar, could be fantastic.

    Story 10/10
    Ok, there are some way that the story could have take and there are some strange decision of the main protagonists... but hey, that is the story they want us to learn. This world is not perfect nor the people, sometimes you are a hero and sometimes you are the enemy. Put a note of 0 just because you don't like the story is immature. It is told beautifully, so I'm giving it a 10 just the way it is told, not the content or if you like it or not.
    Overall 10/10
    If you want a game that balances beautiful graphics, great gameplay, moments of tension and a well developed story-telling this game is for you, it is the perfecto continuation to a great saga. Everyone has to die sometime.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While I entirely understand a great deal of the criticism towards this game, I just don't agree with a lot of it.
    I mean it's obvious the whole "Woke game" criticism holds no ground, but some of the others are more reasonable. I see a lot of people complaining about being forced to play as Abby, which I understand and wasn't exactly too happy myself to be playing her but by the end of the story I understood why I was playing her and it made the end sequence very interesting as it's not something I've seen in a video game before. When you fight Ellie, it's interesting because obviously you don't want to "win" in a way that would leave Ellie dead.

    I will say there's a lot of this story where I wish this game allowed you to make some choices in the story. There are some points where you just want Ellie to stop. Granted I think the fact that the game so relentlessly forces you to go through with it makes your feeling against some of the stuff you have to do stronger.

    At some point in this game I feel like everybody(Even those who didn't like the game) just wanted the cycle of revenge to stop.
    There's a point in this game where you hate Abby. For some people that point never stops and persists to this day but for people who are more open to seeing her side you realise her journey of killing Joel was the same as Ellie's Journey to kill Abby.

    Joel killed Abby's father, Abby goes through a great deal and damages her relationships just to be able to kill Joel.

    Abby kills Ellie's dad(Maybe not biologically, but in every other sense), Ellie goes through a great deal and damages her relationships just to be able to kill Abby.

    __________________________________________________

    I understand having been too invested in Joel and Ellie to care about what Abby went through.
    But if you look at it clear from bias it is literally the exact same thing Ellie is doing(Which by the end you likely want her to stop doing), so you should understand why Abby did what she did.

    Granted if you can't "forgive" her(I hate to phrase it like that because forgiving her isn't exactly the right phrase), I don't blame you, but if you've payed attention at all you should at least understand.

    Either way I think this honestly was an interesting experiment in some ways, seeing how people would react to and if they're able to empathise with someone who murdered a character they loved.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are amazing and the updates to the combat system made the game far more enjoyable. An update to the crafting system would have been nice, I did like that they gave Ellie a pocket knife instead of a shiv like Abby had. The story is messy. I actually didn’t mind playing as Abby, I thought that arc was fairly well done and enjoyed how it mirrored (slightly) Joel’s experience with Ellie in the first game. I was fairly irritated when I started Abby’s story and realized I had to upgrade all of her weapons and skills, felt like I was starting over. After playing Ellie’s story for like 10 hours I was frustrated to feel like I was starting at zero again. I thought the AI was terrible, I played in moderate, then switched to hard when I found moderate was too easy. Only game that I thought had worse AI in the last year was Days Gone (seriously that AI is trash) and I still loved it so AI isn’t a huge contributing factor for me. I was genuinely nervous when I first encountered the Scars, but after playing against them for awhile I grew bored with them since it was almost identical to the Wolves. I get they were there for the story, but why introduce a second group if they were just going to be as easy to overcome as the one we are already fighting? Should have made them a little less predictable and more aware of their surroundings so sneaking up on them was more difficult. Also, I expected a little more out of their story, they were alluding to the leader who died and really did nothing with her except say that this isn’t what she wanted, people took her teachings and twisted them to fit their agenda. Yeah it’s a play on Christianity and religion, we get it humans make everything bad and twist things to make them fit our ideals, but this is a video game I don’t want to be lectured to about how much humans suck. (I’m not a religious person by the way, just in case anyone thinks I’m mad they seemed to be casting judgement on Christians.)

    Im in the boat of I hated the ending, I saw it coming from a mile away though. There was no way they would kill Ellie in the same game they killed Joel, that would literally destroy any chance of a 3rd game selling well. I also couldn’t see Abby dying as they seemingly set her up to be a part of a 3rd installment with the fireflies and based on her “character development” that they had her go through they had a lot more planned for her. Overall I didn’t hate the game, but I didn’t like it nearly as much as I liked the first one. Had they not taken the “moral of the story” route instead of the realistic route for the ending I probably would have given it a 5 instead. If a 3rd installment is made I probably won’t be preordering it, I’ll wait for the user reviews to come out a few days after release.    … Expand

Personally I didn’t hate the story, it is not as impressive as the first one tho, I think the way to play as two characters that fight against each other in the end is innovative, by so I can see both sides and all the consequences. The theme of the sequel is obviously “vengeance is useless” to my understanding and what the two characters did in the ending just serves the theme properly, so there’s actually not too much to complain. The only thing I can’t take and not happy with is Joel’s death, not that Joel can’t die, just in the situation where Joel saved Abby, but what Abby gave him is torturing, humiliation and death, that’s just too brutal for everyone even those first timer, not to mention those fans of the first game like me.… Expand

The first 10 or so hours is gripping, edge of your seat story telling and it ties in with Part I very well, however once you get around this 10 hour mark, after a major story point with Ellie, the game seems to take a dive in storytelling and gameplay and it seems as though you're walking from one area to the next with no real incentive for the player to care for the reasons why.
    The story picks up again towards the end and gets exciting once again, however it seems as though a lot of the character development achieved in Part I is tossed out the window.

    To conclude. The game is visually a masterpiece and most of the gameplay upgrades are welcome, however a stop/start story and inconsistent character development does at times struggle to keep you in it for the full 25 hour story adventure.    … Expand

    This is the reason I dropped the score to a 7.

    Ellie lost Joel but she had it made on that Farm. She still had Dina, the baby, and Tommy! Ellies number 1 priority should have been the baby and Dina. Ellie decides to go after Abby, but Abby let Ellie go on 2 different occasions. I think Ellie should have let it go and enjoyed her life with Dina, and the baby. I noticed there was so much hate for Abby, but I feel like Abby is a much better person than Ellie. After months of Ellie searching she finally finds Abby who’s already been tortured for weeks. Ellie decides not to kill Abby at the end. I just think the story took a turn for the worst in the last chunk of this game. The game play was superb and I loved the variety of weapons. The graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen. The cons out weight the pros, that's why I give it a 7.    … Expand

This was a largely anticipated game for me and although the game play and graphics was 10/10 the writing for this game largely made me disappointed. Although I fully expected Joel to die in this game I think it was poorly handled, with Joel and tommy giving their names up to a complete stranger and then just having the rest of the game to just be a revenge plot just seems to ruin the potential this franchise had.
    the whole game feels like it feels that it has much more depth than it actually has, with the "real people are monsters story" and showing how abbey is also a person even though that is already heavily implied in the first scene when Owen saves Tommy and Ellie's life .    … Expand

    Additionally, there was a little bit too much wokeness in this game, for my taste. To start: They either killed or crippled all white males. Then you play as a lesbian protagonist - which was expected, since I played the DLC "Left behind". But was it really necessary to have that many cut scenes of them kissing, dancing, loving and more...? I got it, she loves women - there's no need to promote it THAT much! Then you play as the antagonist, who looks like many bodybuilding women nowadays wish they would look like. Where did she get the protein powder or steroids from, 25 years after the apocalypse...? Whatever they were thinking of - this does not promote feminism! And lastly, we're introduced into the story line of a young girl wanting to be a boy, who's mother is going to die by his/her own hands, because of nonacceptance.
    I have nothing against wokeness. I just wish it wouldn't be forced on me like this. You're only achieving the contrary by doing so. People will develop more hate or aversion towards this movement, when being forced!

    My conclusion out of all of this is, that I will NOT buy any Naughty Dog games before their official release dates anymore and will wait for the user scores to come through, since we apparently cannot trust the critic reviews anymore!    … Expand

Confesso que isso é algo inovador, e torna o jogo ainda mais real, no entanto isso pra mim não funcionou de forma satisfatória, pois o que tornou The Last of Us um dos melhores jogos de todos os tempos, foi justamente o relacionamento entre Joel e Ellie, que foi se construindo ao longo de uma jornada épica, aí vem uma continuação e destroi tudo isso.… Expand

    This game is not perfect, and it doesn’t have a perfect story. But in my opinion, it is a really good one. There is little character development, which kinda sucks; but I understand it seeing as Ellie knows everyone in Jackson, and has for years now, so I get it. Now on to Joel. We’ve all probably seen it, and it **** hurts when it happens. But it is not for no reason like everyone who hates the game says. They say that joel is too trusting and such, but you have to consider that Joel was barely getting by for 20 years, having to watch his back at every turn. He doesn’t now though. Because nobody in jackson has tried anything. And Ellie is so much like Sarah, that a wave of grief could’ve been swept off of him, as we see in the flashbacks that happen. His death is not meaningless, Abby is the daughter of one of the surgeons Joel killed, so she wants revenge. The way he dies is brutal, but Abby wanted Joel to hurt, so he did. All in all, it is a great game, and if you enjoyed the brutal and gritty nature of the first, you should love this one too.    … Expand

TLOU 2 вышла за рамки игровой индустрии, она показала действительно жестокий мир со своей вселенной, в которой разработчики не делают поблажек игроку, выставляя полюбившихся героев бессмертными, а серую мораль понятной и примитивной. Дракман вытащил игрока из зоны комфорта, в которой он привык находиться, где есть справедливость и честность, он ясно дал понять-нет, приятель, у меня здесь взрослая игра и я не собираюсь с тобой цацкаться. Здесь герои - это бывшие злодеи, а злодеи - бывшие герои. Здесь все также люди продолжают воевать друг с другом, несмотря на угрозу заражения, но показано все это на этот раз в более обширных масштабах. С технической точки зрения-это фантастика. Игра в этом плане удивляет на протяжении всего прохождения. Художникам отдельное спасибо, работа проделана адская, в хорошем смысле. У игры есть проблемы в виде очень красивых, но пустых локаций, продвижение кое чего на букву Ф и Л, нескольких странных моментов в сюжете (субъективно), но в целом - это сильный проект, который никак нельзя пропускать. Люди, осудившие в ноль игру-угомонитесь и идите играйте в call of duty, pubg, gears of war и максимум witcher 3. Это ваш уровень, не выше. Без обид и предъяв. Кое что у вас не выросло ещё до таких проектов, как last of us 2.
    9 заслуженных баллов. Пройдя сотню качественных игр, ни одна не вызвала такой сумбур эмоций, как эта. Минус балл за указанные недостатки. По настоящему, повторюсь, взрослая и тяжёлая игра, которую будут обсуждать ещё долгое время.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Was okay with 16 hours of playing as Ellie and went along with the story that started to make sense within the last 5 hours and leaving you with a suspense scene, the game then interrupts the whole flow of the story and forces you to play as Abby. Okay sure I'll go along with it, after 2 hours of playing Abbys part I realised how repetitive and unrewarding the looting is.

    Playing as Ellie and unlocking most her skills tree was fine but to expect me to play a new character and having to start over with a new skill tree and having scavenge all over again to upgrade my weapons and skill is just painfully tedious and repetitive. I have been playing on hard so the ammo are scaled to 1-2 per find and scrap parts are as low as 2-10 (excluding safe openings).

    So...
    A) The game stops you at 16 hours and leave you with a suspense scene, then expects you to play as another character you clearly know you don't like.
    B) You start from the very beginning after the "drastic" event that happened as the new character, which made that "drastic" decision.
    C) You have scavenge and craft upgrades for the weapons and level the new characters skill tree all over again.

    In short, I did not continue after 2 hours of playing Abby's part of the game. I could not bring myself to through play through the rest of the game as it is tedious and repetitive and also I don't play unlikeable characters that clearly does not deserve playtime or a complete story from beginning to end. As for the rest of the story I guess I'll have to watch the rest of gameplay as I can't stand to play over the game's leveling and crafting mechanic.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I rank it a 7 out of 10 for gameplay, was enjoying it right up until I took over as abbey in Seattle. At this point the game became very tedious it’s hard to invest in a story line full of dead people I understand trying to humanize them but there are so many better ways to do it. So the story gets a 2 out of 10 not sure if I will go back to the game because of that. Kinda of weird to say about a naughty dogs game but maybe I shouldn’t have pre ordered next time I will treat it like a EA game and wait… Expand

    A good story with great visuals, it brings out the max from the ps4.The bad part is no content you beat it 2 times that's all,in these times you need more than a good story. Like challenges with weapons more hidden dialogue secret ending, or anything else!! The trophy list are created for retarded people not even a challenging achievement. No endgame content, nothing its a cinematic game.A good story with great visuals, it brings out the max from the ps4.The bad part is no content you beat it 2 times that's all,in these times you need more than a good story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start this off by saying I LOVED the first Last of Us. It's one of my favorite games ever and I was super excited for this game but after playing it I wish the first one never had a sequel. This game's narrative and story are absolutely horrible. Everything happens out of order. For example, they talked about a bar fight in the beginning of the game and don't even show what it was about until 17 hours in. Another example, the flashback sequences, which were the main highlight of this game, are shown at random points. and their ideas were poorly executed. This revenge plot was awful and after 25 hours you don't even get your revenge on Abby for killing Joel. Ellie loses everything and doesn't even kill Abby. I'm not upset by the fact that Joel died because that was bound to happen. Getting back to the point about the story being out of order, Joel has 2 scenes before he dies. If the flashbacks were shown first, his death would have had a much more of an emotional impact. The way they killed him was pathetic too, he gets whacked to death with a golf club after he announces who he is to a bunch of armed strangers. Naughty Dog baited us by showing Joel saying "You think I would let you do this on your own" but it's actually Jesse who says that. Speaking of Jesse, when a character dies they are forgotten about, just like he was. After Jesse died he was never mentioned again. The same went for Manny, one of Abby's friends, and Neil Druckmann's self-insert character. Tommy killed him and nobody mentioned him again. They also ram this "revenge bad" narrative down your throat. Red Dead Redemption was more subtle with this kind of thing. They pull the "she's pregnant" card twice to tell you "revenge is bad, it made you kill that pregnant lady". None of the characters are really good either. They aren't developed properly to make you like them. The only 2 good characters in the new cast were Yara and Lev in my opinion. They do a terrible job of trying to make you sympathize with Abby as well because we saw her in the first 2 hours of the game murder Joel in cold blood. This makes you not care and want to kill her, not play as her for half of this game. I'm now gonna talk about the things I liked. The combat is still spectacular and it's been overhauled. The map is beautiful as well as the music. The voice acting was great but none of these these things make up for this abomination of a story in my opinion and the way Naughty Dog has handled everything. I had low expectations because of the leaks but was even more disappointed than I thought I would be. Naughty Dog also abused copyright to take down videos about the leaks and tried to cover up by saying it wasn't them. To summarize, this game is a disaster and probably the worst Naughty Dog game I have played.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. بازی در زمینه گیم پلی و گرافیک فوق العاده عمل میکنه و داستان هم با اینکه حفره هایی داره و برخی از شخصیت ها اضافی یا بدون شخصیت پردازی صحیح هستن یا در برخی مواقع فمنیسم یا موارد دیگه تو بازی بزرگنمایی میشه(مثل بازوهای ابی که همزات پنداری با اون رو هم سخت میکنه) اما در مجموع به نظرم از هسته داستانی خوبی بهره مند هست که نشان دهنده جرئت سازنده هست و هم چنان مثل قسمت اول بازیکن رو در یک مضمون پیچیده اخلاقی میذاره و داستان و جلوه متفاوتی از انتقام به نمایش میذاره هر چند متفاوت بودن همیشه مبنی بر بهتر بودن نیست اما به نظرم اگر در اندکی در پرداخت ابی حوصله بیشتری خرج می شد شاید داستان بالاتر از قسمت اول هم خودش رو نشون می داد با اینحال در کنار تمام فاکتور های دیگه و با چشم پوشی از برخی ضعف های عجیب در داستان که از دراکمن بعید بود اما این جرئت و موارد دیگری مثل گرافیک بی مانند و گیم پلی بسیار روان که پلیر رو پای بازی نگه میداره باعث میشه که نمره 10 رو برای بازی حداقل از دیدگاه من کسب بکنه و اون تنفری که نسبت به داستان به وجود اماده رو هم قابل درک تر بکنه… Expand

    What a masterpiece. This is the benchmark for game developers. This is what a game should look like. PlayStation is so far ahead that it isn't funny any more. Game, set and match. The haters can post their zeros as much as they like because jealousy is a beautiful thing. Hey, even post a minus for all I care.
    In the meantime, I'm going to play this game again on full the difficult level.

Numerous controversial decisions and a disgusting scenario spoil the impression of the game as a whole. The characters of the previous parts were cynically distorted and in their place came those who personify fashion trends, but have no good, for which the player can fall in love with them. I do not recommend this game to those who really liked the first part - this vile sequel plays on the nostalgic feelings of fans, forcing them to buy this squalor and defiling everything that we loved in this story

    Great graphics, which, however, do not surprise anyone. Good gameplay inherited from the first part, a good combat system and a terribly vile scenario with disgusting foreground characters

    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]
