    Um dos melhores jogos que eu já joguei até hoje. Gameplay incrível e uma história envolvente e extremamente pesada em alguns, porém, também chega a ter momentos divertidos e relaxantes. Sem sombra de dúvidas que este jogo tem a cutscene mais pesada e triste que eu já vi em toda a minha vida. Adorei e superou as minhas expectativas, que já estavam muito altas para ser honesto.

    The gameplay and graphics is what the Last of us 2 shines at and the environment is also superbly executed. Some times this game gives more suspense horror moments than franchises like RE, Outlast etc. Now, The story!!!.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into Last of Us: Part 2 with a open mind... and I liked it!... Well the first half.

    The story is boring I will be honest I don't like at all it is nowhere near as compelling as the first BUT I did like the gameplay and Ellie... Until the halfway point when the game does the whole switcheroo and the game becomes extremely repetitive with unlikable characters and even more bland story pieces.

    Even Ellie becomes just plain stupid and does things that just make no sense or feel seriously out of character for her?

    I am honestly so let down that the game nose dives into mediocre at the half way mark as I honestly enjoyed my time in the first half I understand people are review bombing this game but I gave the game a fair shot and even finished it. It is such a shame as the first is regarded as one of PlayStations greats! Even I gave it a 8! for Solid story but repetitive gameplay.

    I personally never felt The Last of Us ever needed a sequel and my opinion was correct at least for some. If you enjoy the game more power to you but I feel this is a out of pace mess.    … Expand

    If people didn't want to play the game as a lesbian than why did they play the first one? It's been apart of her character since the beginning and the games have always been slow starts. Not to mention they let you know pretty early on with trailers that some girls like girls, it happens. And you still buy the game and get surprised by the fact?! XDD

    This game is not bad actually part 2 is good. if you play until end you gonna like it. However story little problem for me on the other hand first and second chapter are boring but then going to good. Enemy.place,shooting are amazing. When you reach final you will see very epic scenes and that’s enogh for me. Good and diffrent you should play when you catch discount.

    The graphics and scenery are beautiful, a lot has obviously went into that.

    The game has similar gameplay to the first TLOU, which imo is a bit clunky, hard to get acurate targetted shots in.

    The storyline..well that is different, it's very slow and unnessessary at times. And why oh why did they have to put a ball and chain around your charactwr

Trilha sonora é ma-ra-vi-lho-sa, os efeitos sonoros, tudo nesse jogo é feito com muito carinho, tanto pelos desenvolvedores quanto para os atores. É um jogo complicado, não dá pra garantir que alguém vai gostar, de fato você precisa ter a sua propria experiencia e tirar sua nota a partir dai.

    Sou contra as analises que dizem que a historia é horrivel ou que a escrita é horrivel, ela pode não ser brilhante 100% da obra, mas é muito muito bem trabalhada. É um fantastico jogo, queria mais jogos assim, intrigrantes, com temas pesados e um universo cativante.    … Expand

    Эта игра причиняет боль. После нее остается реально негативный осадок. Многие вещи даются морально тяжело и не хочется их делать в игре. Но кто сказал, что художественные произведения должны нести только радость и веселье?

После нее остается реально негативный осадок. Многие вещи даются морально тяжело и не хочется их делать в игре. Но кто сказал, что художественные произведения должны нести только радость и веселье?

    Это игра о выживании людей в сложных условиях, о людях с детскими травмами и нарушенной психикой. Это игра о живых людях, а не идеальных героях с глянцевых обложек комиксов. Вся мораль повествования заезжена и стара как мир, но что в этом плохого? Можно привести в пример множество других крутых произведений, которые затрагивают одну и ту же тему, но повествование в них всех совершенное иное. Это обычное явление. Самое главное, как именно это подано, и вызывает ли повествование какие либо эмоции.

    После этой игры, на финальных титрах под превосходную гитарную музыку ты сидишь с тяжелыми веками, грустным лицом и чувствуешь внутри полное опустошение. А значит, что цель сценаристов достигнута, ведь тоже самое испытывают и главные герои на протяжении всей своей истории. А благодаря восхитительной лицевой анимации, это с передается на 100%. Ты чувствуешь и видишь все, что твориться в их умах. Все о чем они думают, зачастую буквально читается в их глазах. При том, что я не увидел, будто сценаристы пытаются навязать какую то идею, что вот это хорошо, а вот это плохо. Просто дана история, максимально приближенная к тому, как она строилась бы не в идеально написанном вымышленном мире, а с учетом всех человеческих качеств, и того, что нам всем свойственно.

    Снизил бал лишь за "повестку меньшинств", убрав которую игра и сюжет ничего бы не утратили, просто уже реально поднадоела, так как суется везде и всюду, даже там где это не к месту и не более. Хотя в целом, о ней вспоминаешь только местами. В начале и под конец игры. В остальном, все на высшем уровне в рамках своего жанра. Геймплей, графика, погружение, техническое составляющее, дизайн уровней, анимации. Придраться просто не к чему. Когда кругом все заполонили сплошные онлайн дрочильни и копипаста-песочницы, да игры сервисы, это игра воспринимается просто как шедевр.    … Expand

    I loved the gameplay, it was a better version of the first game with better environments to fight enemies and zombies. The story and characters are poorly written though. I would rate the story a 4 and the gameplay a 9. It’s obviously very divisive.

    Изначально думал поставить игре 8-9/10, пока не начал играть вторую половину. Ох, ну и душниловка началась и это все на 10+ часов! Это все можно было вместить в час; Вы скажете: «Но так через геймплей раскрывается персонаж». Но нет, было абсолютно плевать, хотелось побыстрее что бы это закончилось.

Но нет, было абсолютно плевать, хотелось побыстрее что бы это закончилось. Концовка мне понравилась, мысль которую хотели донести понятна, но это не стоило кучи потраченного времени до неё (до концовки). Игра неплохая, но я разочарован что потратил на нее деньги. Из плюсов отмечу идеально вылизанные локации, шедевральные анимации, отличный геймплей (кроме последних часов, там было уже откровенно скучно и хотелось выкрутить сложность в минимальную что бы быстро пробежать). Все хорошо кроме подачи сюжета (даже сам сюжет неплох), но как его подают это ужас. Многие говорят что скучно было играть в RDR2, я не в их числе, но вы ещё в это не играли)) (2-я половина). Хорошо что игру купил на диске, наверное продам ее, хотя ещё ни одну игру я не продавал, а оставлял для коллекции и для повторного прохождения, но эту я второй раз не осилю. Если вы играли в Dead Stranding и вспомните гейплей в горах, то вы меня поймёте на сколько это не очень интересно, только в tlou 2 это в десять раз скучнее, не спасают даже красиво поставленные сцены.

    I understand people who rate 0 because for someone it was story about Ellie and Joel.

    The graphics were stunning and the audio design amazing. This is a brutal yet believable world that naughty dog has created. I did at first question the choices that naughty dog decided to make, but the more I played the more I understand why. Also never have I felt so much conflict on who is correct in their morals between the two main characters, in a video game. The game made me love the very character that I despised and began to question and hate the very character I loved. I can honestly say I throughly enjoyed the games conclusion. Not sure where this game could go next, but would welcome a part 3.    … Expand

Anyway, there are some minor quirks with it like you no longer are able to store ammo in your gun to make room in your pouch, maybe if Ellie didn't hoard all these notes she could maybe store more than 2 shotgun shells in her backpack.

    Story was fine at first, made sense what happened, I'm not too frustrated about that, its sad but I knew it would happen when they announced it, I never wanted a sequel to this game because this is that kind of story but here we are. Neil however then decides to question my intelligence by seeing another perspective when I already understood it, just by reading WLF notes you can see these are not the evil bandits like you encountered in the first game, these are actual people with communities like Jackson, I can sympathise with them, but Neil doesn't think that's enough. He had a good emotional thing going but then scratches it all by throwing in unnecessary extra storyline of people that are no worse or better, if anything, seeing the long extra perspective of other characters, I just ended up disliking them more than I did in the beginning.

    The game suffers greatly from the massive portion of it you don't play as Ellie, so don't buy it if you want it for just that, because at LEAST a third of the game, you're not Ellie, and after finally reaching the end of that portion you get into a boss battle you wanted no part of and didn't need to be there, you could've gotten to the exact same conclusion without making you do it. The game then has problems to know when to end and feels Neil just threw in several pitched endings at went with all of them. I'd rate it higher if you played more as the character that was advertised, Ellie.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To those who are wondering if they should buy this game, I pose these questions. Do you care about Ellie and Joel? Do you want to find out what happens after TLOU1? It's honestly that simple of a question, ignore all the spoilers out there, and put politics aside. Do you want to see this story concluded? If the answer is yes, stop reading reviews on the internet and go play the game.

    Before I begin, I would like to caveat that I played this game to its full completion, all the way until the title screen of the game changed to a new backdrop. Further proof that I've played the game to completion is the fact that I know that when you complete the game, you do not have enough points to unlock all the collectible models, and you must go back into New Game+ mode to finish the collection. This is not a review bomb, this is an honest opinion.

    I have 4 major issues with The Last of Us Part II: Narrative Pacing, Character Development, Multiplayer, and finally yes, Politics. Each of these reasons is why I have taken four points away from a perfect 10/10 review score. Before you read or stop reading any further, I am not a politically charged person. I don't identify as left or right on our political spectrum, I probably align closest to center. Why does that need to be mentioned in a review of a video game? Because this is a politically charged game.

    This game plays wonderfully. The stealth mechanics, the fast crafting, the animations and trigger-able mid-combat action sequences are second to none. The stealth is nuanced and deep, with the ability to prone through grass and create distractions for zombies and humans alike-- with each faction of enemy responding differently to signs of your presence. I could go on about what I love about the gameplay, but I am limited by 5,000 characters.

    The game is so gripping in fact that when I finished the final chapters of TLOU2, I was left wanting more. I was still craving the combat loop that pulled me throughout the game, despite what I didn't like about the narrative choices. in TLOU2, there is no online multiplayer component, and no matter how you feel about the story and conclusion of TLOU2, you have no opportunity to relish in the positive aspects of the game in a multiplayer environment. And that is where I am truly saddened. because I cannot enjoy the game further in what I believe would be a crazy awesome multiplayer sandbox.

    In TLOU2, they opted to tell a non-linear story, choosing to show you the most distressing and emotionally shocking scenes up front in the first hour of the game. The main reason this game is so polarizing is because they murdered a beloved character by the hands of a relatively unknown character, and then forced you to play her immediately afterwards. This narrative framing was foolish. TLOU2 made me hate Abby the moment she took stage, and made every single moment the game forced me to control her a grating and unenjoyable experience. I literally leapt off cliffs, the moment I was able to control Abby. When I got to the first fight with Abby and Ellie, I could hardly bring myself to fight Ellie, and I let Ellie kill me at every passing opportunity because I couldn't believe Naughty Dog was forcing me to kill Ellie. When the scene finally concluded and Abby "spared" Ellie, I was sick to my stomach. If the game was ordered differently, maybe making you play the Abby sections first, and then switch to Ellie at the latter half, maybe I would have been more motivated from Abby's POV. But the way this narrative was framed made me hate every moment I was playing as Abby.

    I also drew issues with the interactions between Dina and Ellie. I didn't buy the emotional connection between the two, and honestly the lovey dovey scenes between them made me feel uncomfortable, as they seemed shallow and poorly developed. This has nothing to do with homophobia, as I was excited to see Ellie develop a love interest, and I really enjoyed the cute Ellie and Riley dynamic from Left Behind, a TLOU1 DLC adventure. And when Tommy was so angry with Ellie after settling down with a family, I felt that wholly unbelievable, and it ruined Tommy as a character. Finally with Owen, his character was likeable, but they made him a scumbag in the end, refusing to take care of his own knocked-up girlfriend Mel, and instead chasing after Abby in a self-destructive lust fueled fashion.

    Which leads me into my final issue with the game, the identity politics, the intentional non-inclusion of likable male characters, and how in-your-face it all is. I don't have enough room to talk about the specifics of these points, which are arguably the most important. But if you do not like having self-righteous political statements thrown in your face, you will not like the main story beats of this game.

    I wish TLOU2 had ordered their narrative differently and let up off the gas with the political undertones, because this would have been a more enjoyable game.    … Expand

    Logical consequences to what happened in the first game and the game is a technical masterpiece. Best graphics/physics i've seen on a console. Really enjoyed the plot, felt realistic and didn't try to cater towards the parts of the fanbase that didn't understand the implications of what happened at the end of TLOU1. I give it a 10.

El juego se ve muy muy bien, la forma en la que puedes utilizar los objetos y espacios de manera totalmente lógica como creo que ningún juego ha hecho hasta ahora, las animaciones, las físicas de la sangre y sobre todo las expresiones faciales son de otro planeta y todos los personajes nuevos están muy bien escritos. El nuevo sistema de combate más ágil y los nuevos tipos de enemigos hacen que la acción sea más dinámica y tengas que buscar nuevas maneras de enfrentar la situación. Es un juego muy valiente, trata muchos de los temas sociales polémicos de hoy en día y lo hace sin ningún tipo de sutileza. Es un juego cruel, crudo, explícito, con una atmósfera que te atrapa mejor que lo hacía su primera parte y hace que te vayas bastante tocado a la cama. Subjetivamente te podrán gustar más o te podrán gustar menos ciertos acontecimientos de la historia, pero precisamente es un juego que busca incomodar (tanto por tus acciones en el gameplay como en las cinemáticas) y vaya si lo consigue. Por supuesto eso es algo que no gusta a todo el mundo y me parece bastante entendible, al igual que hay películas que son incómodas de ver y no todo el mundo es capaz. No es un juego fan service y eso es algo bastante atrevido. Personalmente no acabo de encontrarle el sentido al final del juego y tiene un bajón de ritmo muy bestia en cierto momento que puede cortarte el rollo hasta que vuelve a subir un poco. Sin embargo sigue siendo una maravilla de juego que se atreve a hacer que el jugador sienta cosas que ningún otro juego se ha atrevido a hacer (por lo menos a este nivel).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Escribo este análisis dejando claro que The Last of Us me parece uno de los mejores juegos que he tenido el gusto de disfrutar en toda mi vida, una bestia.

    Ahora bien, no vengo a valorar eso, si no The Last of Us parte 2 o la continuación de historia que posiblemente a MI como jugador no me hacía falta ver, voy a intentar exponer por separado sus partes:

    - Narrativa / Historia: La forma de interconectar las historias que van sucediendo a través del juego me gusta, mucho de hecho, el problema viene en como empieza, con la decisión de Joel en el final del primer juego, no querer sacrificar a Ellie en favor de la humanidad y por supuesto lo que la mayoría de los que han sentido la historia entienden a Joel, no digo que hubiera sido lo correcto, si no si simplemente entedemos su decisión. Por supuesto la cosa comienza con que el personaje ""villano"", Abby, no aparece en el primer juego y SORPRESA, es la hija del cirujano que iba a operar a Ellie, si ya para querer contar una 2º parte necesitas introducir SI O SI un personaje del que no se sabe nada en el 1º juego para que esta continuación tenga sentido (o al menos asi lo creían en Naughty Dog) pues va por mal camino, muy malo.
    Te gusta Joel? Simpatizas con el? Pues cojonudo, le van a estampar la cabeza nada más empezar el juego de forma rastrera y asquerosa mientras a su vez ayudó hacía 10 minutos a la persona que lo mata, a mi esta decisión no me gusta, pero no es el problema, el problema es que como jugador te van a guiar por ese camino desde el principio y no vas a poder decidir nada.
    Diréis, "ostras en el primer juego cuando rescatas a Ellie no lo decides tú", cierto, pero eso pasa al final y donde un personaje que has llevado TODO el juego y lo ha PERDIDO TODO sientes que se merece tomar esa decisión, en cambio aquí aparece alguien queriendo vengarse que no conoces de nada, se venga y tú vas como un loco a querer devolvérsela, pues no también, el juego frenará y frenará hasta que te lleve la inercia más que la propia ira, el motivo? La venganza está mal y pierdes más de lo que ganas, pero es que eso ya lo tienes claro en un principio y que no todos los grupos que salen en el juego son o han sido malos siempre, eso también lo sabemos, lo que no podemos es pretender llevar un objetivo en el juego muy claro todo el rato, y luego ni te den la opción de elegir.
    Da esa sensación de que Ellie merece o una de 2, vivir con la muerte de Joel y llevarlo como pueda, o matar a Abby y de nuevo, vivir con la muerte de Joel y con su venganza, en mi caso lo tengo claro, final cuando vas a la granja por primera vez, y decidir si quedarte o no, o que sencillamente se quede y ya está, pero irse, no consumar su venganza y simplemente volver para ver que ha perdido más todavía, Ellie no merece un final así y Joel no merece un principio de 2º parte así.

    - Visualmente: Una bestialidad, lo mejor que se ha hecho en este apartado (con diferencia) en esta consola negra como el azabache, pasemos a lo siguiente.

    - Banda sonora: No puedo entrar mucho en detalle ya que desconozco bastante del tema, pero tengo que decir que a pesar de intentar introducirla más en este juego, la he notado más potente, más dura de escuchar en el 1º juego, te ponía los pelos de punta lo bien que la cuadraban en esos momentos concretos, en este no he llegado a tener esa sensación.

    - Jugabilidad: Es el mismo The Last of Us de hace 7 años con pequeñas mejoras, pero en esencia lo mismo, en 2013 estaba muy bien, ahora quizás con las 20 pico horas que dura el juego se hace un poco "limitado" debido a que hay MUCHOS más enfrentamientos.

    Conclusión - Merece el logo de obra maestra que estoy viendo por ahí? Ni de lejos, para mi, de 7,5 si le tuviera que poner una nota y no dejo de pensar que si simplemente el juego fuera de Abby, su grupo y las historias que desarrolla con ellos pues el juego me hubiera gustado más porque tienen su propia trama aparte pero da la sensación de que los protagonistas del primero tenían que salir si o si, al menos a mi me ha pasado eso.
    Me parece un mal juego? Para nada, me lo he pasado de carrerilla este fin de semana, lo he gozado y lo volveré a pasar seguro pero esa carga que traía de lo bueno que fue en su momento The Last of Us pues se hace muy pesada de aguantar para esta 2º parte y me apena decirlo.    … Expand

Its sad to see so many people hating on this game because its not what they wanted the new story to be. Sure there's some problems but for me it didn't take me out of the game or change my opinion. I've never cried for a game let alone this much in my life and I legit couldn't stop at the end with her last conversation with Joel, I've never felt that way in my life. It's insane how a game can do that. One thing I can't stop thinking about is Abby n Lev. When she thought she finally found the fireflies. She had hope, and then it all goes to **** and they're stuck in that hell hole for months, I can't imagine what they did to them in that time. To see her so transformed and broken was horrible to see even though I hated her for what she did. I didn't want either of them to die. To have Ellie essentially save her and spare her in the end breaks the cycle of endless death and violence. Which is what the message of this game is.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Enjoyed the majority of this game including the visuals, sound, gameplay, characters and story. The first major plot point was a shock which I felt mixed about and perhaps even disappointed in initially. However it was effective in making the player invested in the story and caring about the following events, eventually leading to feeling accepting of this first plot point despite it not being the direction I hoped for. The first 18-20 hours of the game I really enjoyed and wanted to keep pushing forward to find out how things will play out. I particularly enjoyed some of the story telling methods during this, including flashback scenes which revealed some plot points relevant to the present day story. A few charming moments between characters which is typical of Naughty Dog games and offered some levity in an otherwise bleak and brutal in-game world.


    There is a section which occurs around the 17-18 hour mark where there’s a shift in how the game plays out. Initially I really enjoyed this and it offered an another insight to the overall plot however felt this went on longer than I personally wanted. I understand the purpose of this section but it felt too dragged out for me.

    I have mixed feelings about the end however I appreciate what the purpose of it is. My biggest problem with this is due to having a strong feeling of attachment to the original characters and wanting things to work out in their favour. This isn’t a sign of a bad game or story but a sign of attachment to the characters I loved from the original. I feel like if this was the first instalment I would’ve been much more inclined to feel more satisfied with the story.

    I think overall it is an amazing game but it did take risks with it’s direction that go against the grain. This is always likely to cause fans of the original to either feel mixed or disappointed. If I were to change anything it would be to have more focus on the aspects I mentioned which made the first 17 or so hours so enjoyable and cut back on the section I mentioned felt too dragged out. I also want to mention I think it’s unfair to say the game is pushing a political agenda - LGBT characters feel authentic and adds to their character or story arc. I didn’t feel forced or anything other than having a variety of characters in the world. I think it’s fair to say that not everyone will be pleased with the story but I really enjoyed my experience with the game and even though some aspects weren’t fully what I wanted, I appreciate their purpose. The game is very dark and brutal in its theme which means not everyone will feel satisfied as most stories have a resolve or “happy ending”. As much as I would’ve liked it to steer in a direction that is more typical of game or film stories, I feel that it is at least true to the world of The Last of Us and is a bold move to deviate from expectations.

    Despite having a variety of mixed emotions and thoughts on The Last it Us Part II, I did enjoy the game overall and will definitely play it again. I’d recommend others to give it a chance to experience it for theirselves.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decided to try it out, even after all that backlash this game received, my review is from playing it on my PS5, also a disclaimer, I never played the first game because of economy issues of mine that I couldn't afford a PS4 console till 2018, but saw the entire gameplay/story cutscenes through YouTube and I LOVED the story.

    So on the actual game now, the game when it comes to graphics, music, visuals, textures, sound, gameplay control, and with the PS5 update to up the frame to 60, this was a top tier development, as for the story the way they introduced Abby and how early Joel died in this game was a letdown for me, I don't mind the story at all, but the execution of the story is what made me not give a damn about playing as Abby, so I set it at the lowest difficulty just for her so I can speedrun her story.

    But overall despite Abby's story, I enjoyed this game, but if they don't come up with new ideas in terms of gameplay because it's the same as part 1 I heard, then I might not bother with part 3, if they make one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Look, all of the people review bombing this game and hating on it because of some choices are immature. The game is good. It could've been better, and many choices could've been done differently but at last i can say the game is good.
    Its a bit too long and that's its major flaw. It looks spectacular, in my opinion the motion capture and acting are the best in the business and level design is goddamn good. The gunplay is very satisfying and feels great.
    The story i don't agree with but i respect the balls to do it. I really do. I feel so bad for Joel and i cried my ass out at the last scene in the game. It hit me right in the feels and will always be in my memory as one of the saddest games i have played.
    Overall, not perfect but its different and good. And to all the people giving it a 0/10 because there are gay characters or whatever, grow tf up.    … Expand

    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]
