    The plot and ending of this game is just awful, but the graphics and gameplay are very good. But I see no reason to buy a similar game for a sake of graphics and gameplay. If you don't care about everything except graphics, you can buy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Meus sentimentos acerca do game, no mínimo, são de frustração e tristeza. Foi uma espera longa pelo jogo e este não cumpre as expectativas geradas em torno dele. Primordialmente, há os problemas envolvendo a Naughty Dog quanto aos vazamentos da história do jogo. Os spoliers são verdadeiros, ao contrário do que alguns "jornalistas"e "youtubers" diziam. Além dos vazamentos da história, a própria história é decepcionante. Para não dar spoilers, em linhas gerais, trata-se de um "Deus Ex Machina": soluções improváveis para dar continuidade a narrativa, é o que comumente chamam de "forçar a barra". Porém, o suprassumo da mediocridade da história é o final que, obviamente, não irei revelar mas que não faz o menor sentido e foge da razoabilidade. Uma das personagens da história (Abby) é jogável mas é uma personagem sem carisma algum e pouco importante para os fãs se comparado com os Joel ou Ellie. Como adendo, este jogo ignora toda bagagem histórica do Joel no desfecho que escolheram a ele. Vi vários reviews, no Brasil, que se tratava de um jogo excepcional, visionário; entretanto, não foi o que encontrei. Uma avaliação no Brasil feita com sinceridade, mesmo que eu não concorde com alguns pontos, foi do Zangado Games.
    Além dos problemas da história, há problemas técnicos. Algumas sombras de objetos não existem e outras sombras estão bugadas. Há duplicação de NPCs logo no início da gameplay. Os gráficos, absolutamente, não são os melhores da geração, como disse alguns críticos. Há problemas de desempenho e nas texturas Não há nada de inovador no gameplay cuja dinâmica é muito parecida com o primeiro Em suma, o jogo não vale o preço pelo qual é cobrado e sua história é é o principal ponto fraco. Alguns loucos falam que é um forte candidato para ser o GOTY. Sinceramente, a simples cogitação da premiação é um insulto aos premiados nos anos anteriores. Espero que minha contribuição possa ajudar de alguma forma. Se me permite uma sugestão, não compre.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely love the first game. I still play and love that game. This was the worst game I have ever played. If you have any love for the characters in the first game...which is what made that game so good...you will absolutely loathe the second one. Abby is a total joke of a lead character. Who cares about Abby?? No one... even though naughty dog tries to force her down your throat. Completely unnessary, disgusting sex scene. Wtf?? It has absolutely no relevance on the story. Why put it in there? I can only assume it gave the designers a hard on (I think I just vomited). Then spitting on Joel you have to be freaking kidding me. Never in my life had I ever wanted to unexperience a game. I cant unsee what was in that game and I really want to. I see now on social media the people at naughty dog are in denial saying these negative reviews are bots. I am a real freaking person who paid for their piece of crap game and who will never purchase a thing from naughty dog again. If anyone reads this before purchasing the game I implore you to consider some other game worth your time and hard earned money.… Expand

    Desde el prólogo hasta el desenlace mantiene una mezcla de tensión con dramatismo único de esta la industria, es una obra de arte en toda la extensión de la palabra y un gran logro técnico.

    Naughty Dog ha sabido superarse con cada entrega, ya sea en Uncharted o en The Last Of US.

Honestly I don't see why all the hate, I played the game only having seeing the E3 trailers and playing the first game, I can understand why people wouldn't like the ending but for me it's the perfect ending, the gameplay is amazing, the graphics are phenomenal and the acting/voice acting is perfect. Yes, the story could be better but I like how they kill off characters and really like playing with both the "villain" and the "hero" which I don't this story really doesn't have.

    Since its release in 2013, The Last of Us has firmly held a place on my podium as one of the best games of all time. Having played through the first instalment 7 or 8 times over the years whilst I patiently waited for the Part II, its fairly safe to say that my expectations for The Last of Us: Part II were extremely high and I was NOT disappointed… What a masterpiece! Harrowingly beautifulSince its release in 2013, The Last of Us has firmly held a place on my podium as one of the best games of all time. Having played through the first instalment 7 or 8 times over the years whilst I patiently waited for the Part II, its fairly safe to say that my expectations for The Last of Us: Part II were extremely high and I was NOT disappointed… What a masterpiece! Harrowingly beautiful and shockingly captivating to the end. I never read reviews on a game until I have completed it, so when I learnt from a follower whilst streaming the end to our macabre journey last night, that the game had been completely bombed by reviews, I was stunned. Having now read a heap of reviews, a number of which came in just a hours after the games release, despite the game requiring 20-30 hours of gameplay; I feel it is imperative that the game receives the ratings it deserves. So here we go… (N.B. - Completed on Survivor Mode).

    The gameplay is excellent. A solid 3rd person view that sits in sweet spot to behind the character, not being to close to obstruct and not so far as to make distant targets hard to see and camera angles are reasonably flexible. Aiming and shooting were pretty standard for a modern 3rd person shooter. The enemies AI was outstanding, just when you thought you had their pathing worked, they would change it up on you as you got closer or moved to get a better angle. Enemy ‘tells’ were subtle and sometimes hard to gauge, making melee combat that bit more difficult (which is good). This leads me to probably my biggest pain point for the game… I expected it to be harder, particularly given that when selecting ‘Survivor’ you are prompted with a warning advising against selecting this difficulty on your first playthrough. In terms of music, the scoring for this game is in my opinion without rival from any game to-date (think this comment speaks for itself).
    The graphics are stunning, despite the developer’s limitations on the PS4’s out-of-date hardware. It would have been amazing to see the potential with say, NVIDIA’s Ray Tracing. The environment is beautiful, amazing land and cityscapes that were well bordered so that you weren’t frustrated by the fact that the character was stopped by a brick on the ground that they could easily step over to move past into the area that lay beyond. Character design was excellent, even though it was obvious from the outset that developers had revisited Ellie’s appearance to remove further confusion between our protagonist and the actress, Ellen Page. Also, the design of Abby’s military muscle build was an admirable shift from the typical sexy/beautiful female characters, that screams “this game was designed by men”. That of course leads me to the final and most controversial point of the game, the story. (Warning: Spoilers ahead) As a true fan of the original instalment, I cannot fathom how people are attacking the story. Given that a large number of the negative reviews came hours after the games release, perhaps people were annoyed by an intro that was not huge on information, but what good thriller ever divulges the plot upfront. Jovial Ellie is now an emotional teenager with ‘daddy’ issues and as we learn, rightfully so. We are also confronted right at the start with a scene similar to the ‘Glen & Negan’ moment from TWD, were we come to terms that our hero from the last story will not play a significant part going forward; just as the ‘Glen & Negan’ scene did, this likely lost peoples interest going forward, but hey.. death is a part of life. As the story progresses flashbacks help stitch together the events of the past 4 years for Ellie and we are forced to understand that there are different sides to every story, as we play through the eyes of our new anti-hero, Abby. Was it the story I expected? No… but it was a story of loss, heartache and revenge (with a serving of PTSD), which quite frankly makes sense for kids raised in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. Did the developers make our little Ellie a lesbian? Yes… But seriously, it is 2020 people, it is time to move on. There were of course bits that frustrated me with the way the story went, but that’s to be expected given that the story didn’t go the way I expected. Being forced to play as Abby in the theatre annoyed me, as I wasn't sold on her redemption yet, and found myself occasionally run at Ellie just to see her blow a hole in Abby’s face. The end also left me wanting, But expect this was purposeful to set up a potential Part III (i.e. Fireflies and Ellie's wish to save humanity).

    If you have not yet played the game or finished it; I implore you to STOP, get off this site, go to your local store, buy the game and complete it with an open-mind. Decide for yourself. At the end of the day, whilst this is a darker story, it now easily sits side by side with the first instalment on my podium as one of the top games of all-time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm really disapointed with the game, of course the gameplay and graphics are amazing, but the story is so poorly driven, making me play with non carismatic characters like abby, she killed joel, and the game tries to force you to like and unserstand her, while ellie goes crazy **** killing pregnant women.

    The story would be a lot better with joel alive helping Ellie, on the last moment get revenge on Dina death, the game wanted to surprise, but it's not that what most people wanted to see, the first game is about hope, and a man who lost hes daughter and do everything to save another girl from everything and everyone, se second game feels empty, a journey without a purpose with the bad ending with Ellie not killing Abby.

    Amei o jogo e aposto que as pessoas que o realmente jogarem do início ao fim vão adorar. O hate todo que o jogo anda a ter nesta última semana é estúpido, a maior parte só leu os spoiler/leaks ou viu pessoas a falar sobre. Só quem realmente o jogou é que devia de opinar já que a experiência de jogar é completamente diferente.

    O jogo foi corajoso de início ao fim, tomou decisões realistas,    Amei o jogo e aposto que as pessoas que o realmente jogarem do início ao fim vão adorar. O hate todo que o jogo anda a ter nesta última semana é estúpido, a maior parte só leu os spoiler/leaks ou viu pessoas a falar sobre. Só quem realmente o jogou é que devia de opinar já que a experiência de jogar é completamente diferente.

    O jogo foi corajoso de início ao fim, tomou decisões realistas, o que nos faz ter medo de tudo que possa acontecer pela frente em termos de história. Em termos de gráficos está muito bonito como já se esperava e com expressões super realistas o que faz as cenas ficarem ainda melhores.
    A trilha sonora está tão boa quanto o primeiro, sendo que neste tem algumas que mexem de certa forma mais connosco, o que faz as cenas de stealth ficarem mais tensas.

    A mecânica segue o padrão do primeiro, mas bem melhorada. Agora podem andar deitados ou até quando levas um tiro a força da bala atira a personagem para o chão e podes também disparar deitado ou te desviares. Tem também um pouco de parkour, o que fez com que as cenas de procurar itens ficassem mais divertidas.
    O jogo agora tem mais jump scares, combinou bem, pelo menos assustou-me mais que Resident Evil 2.
    E tem detalhes simples como a personagem ter medo de alturas então todas vezes que olhas de um sitio alto lá para baixo, a câmara sobe e dá menos zoom e a personagem começa a tremer de medo ou quando estás abrir cofres mesmo que não saibas o código consegues ouvir um pouco de diferença no som quando passas pelo número certo e tem mais coisas do mesmo género.

    Gostei das personagens novas, nenhuma me conquistou tanto quanto o Joel e a Ellie, mas são boas personagens. Um ponto importante que as pessoas reclamam sem motivo, é sobre a Ellie ser lésbica, não faz sentido nenhum reclamar sobre isso... Ela apenas é! Em nenhum momento o jogo foca nisso como um assunto para se discutir. Eu gostei bastante da relação delas, elas combinam uma com a outra dá logo para ver durante os diálogos. Duas pessoas diferentes mas que se completam, a relação delas é necessária até para o ritmo do jogo porque faz-nos sentir que ela é a única que faz a Ellie se sentir bem e ser sincera.
    Se pessoas reclamam/não gostam do jogo por causa da Ellie ser lésbica para mim não passam de homofóbicas.

    Eu particularmente gostei da história, obviamente é um assunto mais delicado porque cada um tem a sua opinião e o jogo toma decisões fortes e que mudam muito o ritmo do jogo, especialmente em relação ao primeiro. O motivo de ter gostado é porque o mundo de the last of us é duro e realista dentro daquilo que propõe, então as coisas que acontecem fazem sentido. É uma experiência diferente da maior parte dos jogos.

    Outra cena porque que as pessoas estão a comentar e fazer tantos meme sobre uma cena de sexo de 3 segundos?? Parece que nunca viram sexo num jogo, quando descobrirem the witcher 3 vão tentar processar a CD Projekt.

    TUDO QUE FALEI EM CIMA NÃO CONTÉM SPOILER SÓ A COMEÇAR DAQUI É QUE VAI TER

    -SPOILER- || A morte do Joel foi muito bem feita, foi cruel e forte o que nos faz sentir odeio e querer vingança, consigo entender o motivo das pessoas não gostarem desta cena, mas eu também adorava o Joel mas também entendo que ele merecia morrer porque quando salvou a Ellie no fim do primeiro jogo, ele matou muita gente inocente e literalmente destruiu a única possibilidade de uma cura então é normal haver pessoas atrás dele para apenas se vingarem especialmente a Abby já que ele matou o pai dela que era apenas um médico que queria salvar as pessoas.
    Depois tem gente que diz que o Joel não era burro ao ponto de dizer o nome dele ou confiar em estranhos. Parece que se esquecem que quem deu o nome dele foi o Tommy para tentar acalmar a Abby que para eles era apenas uma miúda assustada, e como o Joel estava cercado por infetados a única maneira de fugir era confiar na Abby que conhecia uma zona segura perto. E também mais para frente nós descobrimos que ela já sabia sobre o Tommy e o Joel fazia 4 meses, os Wolves sabiam quem o Joel e o Tommy eram, então confiando na Abby ou não, ia dar ao mesmo e também se esqueceram que o Joel ficou mais soft por viver rodeado de pessoas melhorou os seus problemas de confiança e frieza que tinha antes.
    Ao longo do jogo volta ao passado e sempre que o Joel aparece gera cenas mesmo boas e emocionais e faz nos lembrar o quão bom era o personagem e que ele apenas queria o bem para a Ellie||
    Realmente amei o jogo uma experiência incrível, acabei a tremer e posso dizer que é jogo da geração. Apenas calem se e joguem o jogo em vez de ler leaks com final falso    … Expand

    I can essentially sum up this frustrating narrative in three segments.
    First 10 Hours: Here is a revenge story! Pretty cut and dry. You hate these people and you're gonna make them pay for it!
    Next 10 Hours: Congrats, you took your revenge, and now we're gonna spend a hell of a lot of unnecessary time trying to make you feel bad for it. So let's stop the plot and go on a long sidequest of attempted retrospective character development!
    Last 5 Hours: Let's try to reconstruct this ending now that you're all caught up. Oh wait, you shouldn't be mad anymore? Also, Catalina ofcourse.

    I rate it a 10/10 for the environment, animation, etc.. basically the art dept. Story should've been handled very differently. Combat is fun...for a while. I'm honestly probably better off keeping TLOU ending as the only ending, and not going into this sequel. Leave it a that.    … Expand

I didn't want to keep going after 2-3 hours, I was mentally and emotionally beaten into hyperventilating a few times. It was brutal to say the least. Graphics are insanely beautiful, the world is detailed to the max, lighting, music and mechanics were 10/10. Story was heavily thought of and it shows. Just because I am hurting and didn't like the entire outcome, doesn't mean it wasn't good. I questioned why everyone called it a masterpiece too. I promise you, finish this game. And after that when you still hate it, process it. This is grief you'll be feeling. I was still upset. I was still hurting, but I understand now. You don't have to agree with the story, the character growth and the events that occur, but this game is on a whole other level and to appreciate that, you need to think on a whole other level. If you truly cannot get over your emotions or don't want to understand, then stay away because this game will break you and I mean that. If you're ready to take this new story in, prepare your brain for the trip. This wasn't easy to get through but I couldn't find myself putting the controller down for long.

    Simple stuff first:

    Might be the most graphically impressive game I’ve ever played, if not it’s up there. Environments and character models are great and extremely detailed, lighting is excellent , animations are awesome.

    Gameplay is much improved over the first while maintaining the sense of desperation of the first. Shooting is still a little floaty but still good. Melee combat is pretty good.

    The story is where people’s opinions are hit or miss. There are a great many out there who clearly didn’t play the game but still making claims. For proof see the fact that by the time the game had not even been out a day there were 10-20K overwhelming negatively reviews on user meta critic.

    Now that’s not to say everyone is lying who says they don’t like it. It’s definitely a story designed to challenge beliefs and feelings, and is seriously dark. But by the end it all makes sense and everything served a purpose, including a lot of gameplay mechanics. At nothing else everyone should agree the voice acting, dialogue, writing, facial animations etc were exceptionally well done. Some just don’t agree with the creative vision, which is ok, but that doesn’t make it bad. It’s not for everyone but for people that can handle and digest it there’s a lot to learn and unpack. More akin to Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, and other extremely dark stories than most games. It’s fulfilling by the end though, was worth experiencing by a mile, was very well done.

    The 10/10’s are not exaggerated, or paid for or at least honest if they are). It is a game that is absolutely dripping in quality and is a story that is seriously impactful and emotionally charged. It is 100% worth playing and seeing for yourself. I personally think it’s one of if not the best piece of visual media I’ve experienced.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The people who are rating this game anything below a 5 I am convinced they haven't played the game. The game came out on June 19th and will take the average person at least 25 hours to play the entire game. Reviews are marked "June 19th" as if that gave them more than 24 hours to play the game they think is bottom of the barrel trash that a 0 rating implies.
    Almost every review is about not liking the narrative likely because of the leaks. Yet even if the story was terrible there is still the amazing rest of the game. The combat flows better, feels better, and still makes you feel like a badass.
    The animation is stellar, the voice-acting is stellar, the cinematography is stellar.

    People hate the narrative probably because Joel dies within the first section. If I were to guess these people wanted more Ellie and Joel time and this part killed them. Little did they know that they still keep that dynamic with the flashbacks. Not only that, but there is no other character in the game which could be able to drive that same hate Ellie feels for Abby if it wasn't Joel.
    The game succeeds spectacularly in everything it tries to do and if anyone tells you otherwise they are not only lying to you, but to themselves.    … Expand

It really is worth experiencing for yourself, regardless of what others might feel about it. Naughty Dog's knack for storytelling and amazing attention to detail have delivered one of - if not the best gaming experiences to date.

    The gameplay is very much similar to the first game just more polished and refined. There is nothing more satisfying than having very little ammo left and planning your way through a bunch of Wolves or Scars.

Now the story for me it toke around 2 to 3 hours to start really getting to play the game. A story should not take that long to get your attention. The way they made the story just ruined it spoilers if you have not played the but Joel gets killed and the hole game is based around kill the people that killed him you kill a few characters but you don’t kill the main character that killed Joel and to make it worse you let them get away with it.

Owszem może śmierć Joela nie była ukazana w jakiś piękny sposób tak skłaniała graczy do podjęcia zemsty. Ostatecznie Elie rozumie, że zemsta nie jest dobrym rozwiązaniem. I może miałbym trochę do zarzucenia jeśli chodzi o sam przebieg akcji wokół śmierci głównego bohatera, bo na samym początku gry byłem mocno zszokowany i mogliby to zrobić inaczej. Brakowało mi takiego uhonorowania postaci z którą zżyłem się w pierwszej części. Co do reszty czyli wątków pobocznych, to nie rozumiem skąd ten cały hejt ale nie będę drążył, bo to zależy od odbiorców czyli to jaki inni postrzegają pewne rzeczy choćby jak lgbt, które dla mnie osobiście były dobrze wplecione w grę.

I don't understand, the roller-coaster of emotions you made us went through in the first game with Joel and Ellie made us relate to them and love them and this does not make it justice at all, those character development and audience rapport you had with the first game just went down the drain.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. DID NOT DO THE FIRST GAME JUSTICE


    did i bawl my eyes out when joel died? Yes. Did I think he was killed off way too fricking early? Yes. Do i think they were pushing their leftist propaganda? No. Do i like Neil CukMann? No. Did i think the sex scene added nothing to the story and that they could have just be in bed after, like with Ellie and Dina? Yes. Did I hate how they tried to humanize Abby after every single thing she’s done? Yes. But did i end up kinda being okay with her character? Unfortunately. Were the fingers being bitten off necessary? I mean i thought she was still good at playing the guitar, so prolly not. Did i enjoy the new mechanics? Yeah sure, i actually thing being able to break windows makes things a bit more interesting. Should the abby chapters be shorter? Yes. Did it make any sense to humanize yet another enemy (scars)? NO, looking at you Owen, get outta here with ur world peace ass. I mean the only reason I’m giving this a 10 is because i want people to watch streams/playthroughs or just simply play it themselves and decide if it’s a shetshow I personally would’ve given the game a 7/10 but because they made me wait 7 years for this, because they forced me to play as Abby before we knew anything about her and because they killed off Joel too early on,,, i’m giving the game a 5/10.

    I’d also suggest peeps would stop saying it’s shet and post golf memes (they’re big pp memes btw) and instead be more articulate as to why you hate the game. Because people like Troy Baker are getting discredited alongside the game. Also YOU ALREADY KILLED JOEL WHY KILL OFF JESSE??? TBH I THINK DINA SHOULDVE DIED AND JESSE SHOULD’VE LIVED. AND OH FUCME HOW DARE YOU TOUCH TOMMY YOU PSYCHOPATH. But yeah, ok game, v good graphics. i’d suggest waiting for the price drop if you kinda wanna play it but not really.    … Expand

    I love this game! it is without a doubt the best of the generation, the gameplay is perfect. The only negative point is that the Plot is inferior to the first, but it is very good anyway

    Cagaram na história. Ficou horrível. Tentaram lacrar de todos os lados e esqueceram o que foi que fez o jogo ser referência: o roteiro.

    Pretty good game graphics and everything. The story is good but I think the death of Joel would a little bit more greater you know more heroic but in the end it is a pretty decent game

    A breathtaking experience that stares at the usual conventions of revenge stories and flips them on their heads. This game asks the player not to simply look at the actions of a character but to think deeply of all that they have been through up to these moments and to question how these events have impacted the character’s choices and emotions in the moment.

This game asks the player not to simply look at the actions of a character but to think deeply of all that they have been through up to these moments and to question how these events have impacted the character’s choices and emotions in the moment. No character is two-dimensional, most are good people but have done horrific things and the game leaves it up to the player to determine whether they feel they are justified actions or not, you are not told how to feel which is an aspect I believe is rarely seen in video games and it is interesting to see the divide this has caused in the community over the past few days. The game can definitely have some pacing issues especially at the half way point but I feel they were necessary decisions to further character development and to increase the build up to certain climaxes. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and I think it is a fair contender for game of the generation.… Expand

    Don't believe anyone who claims that bad reviews are all from homophobes or misogynists. I genuinely don't care about any of the characters sexual orientation and enjoy playing lead characters of either sex. This game's overall story is a bleak & depressing disaster. The way the developers treat the previous main characters is appalling and spits in the face of all of us who loved them.Don't believe anyone who claims that bad reviews are all from homophobes or misogynists.

The way the developers treat the previous main characters is appalling and spits in the face of all of us who loved them. The new characters are boring and the new MAIN character is forced down your throat despite witnessing said character doing something horrendous to the previous games main character. PLEASE save your money. Do something better with your time then playing this game.… Expand

    İ played this game by ignoring all the prejudments and propaganda stuff. First half was really great but the second half of the game shows that all those negative reviews are not all that incorrect they are pretty much on point for the most cases. If i gave 4 for this game it is only for its gameplay nothing else

    This game is disappointing, obviously the game-play is good, we expected that but the plot is simply too poor and ridiculous, complete disappoint, I thought this game will give a battle to rdr2 but no, for me, rdr2 takes the best game

    This is a joke, right? What kind of people thought this was a good idea? This is an insult for every fellow fan of the LOU series, what were you thinking about Naughty Dog????

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's an amazing game, the story is deep and is dark but in other ways feels wholesome. The fact these people loved in their lives, had protection and felt the need for revenge. It's hard when you start seeing other perspectives and the game dips into mental health, lesbian relationships and transgender battles. As well as a host of other things. It's a deep game but some relationships shops are wholesome and meaningful. Game play is smoother and the graphics are stunning and incredible. The clickers still give me nightmares so theres that too. I loved this game. 10/10 will hopefully play again to fund the trophies I missed.… 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]
