    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not a hater for starters.. I just really loved TLOU 1 and think this is a total disservice to the characters ND created and an insult to its fans.. I will say the gameplay is good and griping, I really like how violent and real it feels, but I play games like these due to their story and frankly it sucks.. Joel character is just an afterthought. As fans we loved Joel and ellie so it's a disservice to him just to kill him for the sake of it, without taking into account what he means for us. I didn't really liked playing as Abby.. It should have been a dlc tbh.. The ending is also really really bad.. I wouldn't recommend this game for a fan of the first one.. Expand

While the game definitely does have a brutal story, and does not allow us (as the player) to ever be comfortable, it is still an amazing achievement in gaming and story telling. The “woke” moments that so many felt were going to be forced, were not existent. Seriously. One of the largest, and most “woke” parts of the leaks turned out to be completely false. If the game were exactly what the leaks led us to believe, then I would be standing with you, bashing Naughty Dog for turning on it’s audience.

    PLEASE do not think that you should skip the game because you read the leaks and were upset. Not all the information was accurate, and you would be doing yourself a massive disservice by missing this experience.

    My review:

    The game is genuinely incredible, and is a true predecessor to the original game that we all fell in love with. The gameplay has vastly improved and has updated with the times. TLOU, while incredible for it’s storytelling, was never the most groundbreaking gameplay experience. TLOU2 has taken the same DNA and made it far more tense, and fast paced. Add that to Naughty Dog’s largest maps ever, and you have a recipe for success. There are plenty of places to explore and most all, feel important. Whether it is a store that offers extra dialogue, or character building cut scenes; or a small abandoned enemy outpost that restocks you and sends you on a treasure hunt for a lost supply drop. Please make sure you note, that there is far more to do outside of the “on-rails” story.

    The graphics from a Naughty Dog game are always expected to be “Best-in-Class” level, and TLOU2 definitely does not ruin that expectation. I played the game with 4K with HDR, and it was beautiful. If you have a PlayStation 4 Pro, and a 4K HDR tv, this game is a must own for that experience alone. Finally the story. I am NOT going to give away any spoilers, so I am going to have to be a bit generic. The game is dark. There is never a moment to breathe. The sense of danger is always there for the characters, and the sense of dread is even more present. Naughty Dog knows what made the first game great, and dialed it up to 11. The new characters are not quite as memorable as Tess, Joel, or Ellie, but you will still find yourself caring for them through your care for Ellie. The story gets moving fairly quickly, and only picks up pace from there. Once I was about 6 hours in, I found myself looking around for collectibles less, just to see what happens next in the story.

    Overall, if you enjoyed the first game, then TLOU2 is a must play. The game is so much more that the leaks led us to believe. Do yourself the favor of playing this game.

Pra ser sincero, na vdd nem se trata de herói ou vilão, e sim de seres humanos, onde cada um tem sua visão, e seus motivos pra executar certa ação, e mostrar que apesar de termos vontade de saciar uma vontade, nem sempre vale a pena buscar aquilo pra viver com um peso pelo resto da vida. Vingança não trás alívio e nem bem estar. Essa é minha visão doq o game pode me passar. Pra quem entendeu a história do game, percebeu o roteiro genial e fantástico que tem por trás de tudo isso.

    The Last Of Us Part II is not a game for everyone, many who played the first one will probably feel uncomfortable with the direction the story took in relation to the characters we love so much.
    Gameplay and artificial intelligence have improved in many ways, making our experience much more immersive in the world proposed by the game.
    The sound effects are almost perfect. The soundtrack

    The sound effects are almost perfect.
    The soundtrack fits perfectly in every moment of the game, making players really feel each scene.
    But even if it has graphics, a soundtrack, gameplay and a lot of things improved from the first game, The Last Of Us Part II will possibly be much more divisive in relation to the direction the story takes. Leaving most fans of this franchise disappointed with the ending of their favorite characters.

    They took everything that made the first game good and left us with this. The whole game felt like someone shoving SJW agenda down my throat.
    The world is beautiful, It gameplay is fun but repetitive but it's one of the worst stories I have ever experienced.
    The characters are forgettable, even the ones from the first game act so out of character just for the sake of moving the plot

    If you were a huge fan of The Last of Us one then I would skip this, treat as the ending from that game was the end because the sequel doesn't do justice to the first one.

    Awful, a total waste of time. It's Game of Thrones Season 8 and The Last Jedi all wrapped up into one. I played from beginning to end and it was a complete slog and boring at that.

    The story is a pale shadow of the original, which truly was a masterpiece, and if not for the leaks they would have palmed off this garbage as a proper sequel.

    But it isn't, the mechanics are practically ancient, the level design is so smoothbrain that it's painfully obvious that having fun was absolutely the last priority for the developers, and the writing is on par with a Twilight movie. The dodge and jump mechanics are also laughably bad and add nothing to the experience.

    I could write an entire essay on how stupid the story and characters are but suffice to say everything you've heard is true. Everyone is awful, nothing is hopeful, and it comes off as a shallow and preachy diatribe. You will be bored to tears playing this and frustrated to the point of facepalming yourself into another dimension. Everything bad you've heard about this game is 100% accurate.

    This was a vanity project for Neil Druckmann and it turns out he isn't half as clever as he thinks he is. If you want a game with a good story and gameplay play Star Wars Fallen Order or even minesweeper. Avoid this game like zombie brain fungus.

    Visuals: 8/10

    I give this game 1 star because of the homophobic & political stance it takes. I wanted neither when I put it the game in & played it for an hour. This is not a video game, it’s Sony’s entry into pandering into the lqbt community. Just please don’t waste your money on this game. The graphics weren’t bad, it ran flawless. The story is the worst one I’ve ever seen.

    Just give the game of chance. Is it as good as part 1? Surely not. But it is yet a fantastic game. Everybody knows movie sequels, where the story goes in another direction as hoped. Many of them are great movies, although or maybe even because you expect something different.
    You simply should not miss this game just because of other voices.

    Wow. How disappointing. Save your money unless you enjoy ultraviolence and character deaths.

    I loved Last of Us Part 1. Great story, compelling characters, optimisim in the face of something disastrous that occurred to society and still hunts them. This.... this is none of that. The characters from the first game are changed so radically that they act and behave nothing like them in this game. They either got a personality transplant or got lobotomized. And then we come to the 'spoilers'. Yes folks, the spoilers that leaked were correct for the most part (Abby isn't trans though, but the designers sure went out of their way to make her into quite a manly woman, and there's a sex scene with her getting it from behind that's just.... wow).

    Now, the gameplay itself is about what we had in part 1. Not a whole lot of changes (jumping was added but doesn't make much difference). Combat system is about the same, just with new and smoother animations. Honestly expected a lot more, and innovative changes to gameplay and combat, which was disappointing, it feels dated in that manner.

    The actual graphics are absolutely beautiful, and about the only very good thing about this game - I'm surprised they managed to coax that level of graphics out of the PS4

    But then we get to the actual plot and story. The worst is what they do to Joel. Completely different personality, doesn't act anything like he did in the first game, and within the first few hours, Abby, the new character (Druckman once claimed that Ellie would be the only playable character - straight up lied to us) you're forced to play for a good portion of the game, bashes his brains in with a 9 iron. That in itself made me want to quit playing - I sure as hell quit watching Walking dead when they had Negan beat Glenn's brains out with his bat. I don't understand, do these people think being edgelords with over the top violence makes something better? It doesn't, especially with all the constancy of it, and your inability to choose non-violence or to do something other than what they force you to do in the story (and then wag their finger at you about how bad your violence is!)

    Anyway, after Abby caves Joel's head in with a golf club like she's on Office Space going at a printer, you're literally forced to play as this person, which is even more sickening. Honestly, between the ultraviolence and the forced play as this character, there was only so far I could go before shutting off the game. I'll probably sell it at a loss on e-bay, because I sure ain't going to finish this garbage.

    Very disappointed in Naughty Dog, they've fallen way off since Uncharted and Last of Us 1 when it comes to character and story. Don't think I'll be buying from them again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 presents one of the most beautiful and detailed renditions of a post apocalyptic world probably in any form of media ever. The gameplay is very similar to the first game, but is expanded upon and very solid. These areas of the game are easily a 10/10 and we should appreciate the work that went into creating this world by the hard work of those at Naughty Dog despite shortcomings in the story. My biggest complaint about the story is how it retcons the original while the characters are dumbed down. For example, one of the biggest moral dilemmas in the original game was Joel’s choice to save Ellie from being killed to possibly create a cure. Audio logs in the game, however, make it clear that the chances of making a cure are bad (for context, we don’t have a cure for fungal infections in real life) and even if possible, the prospects of the Fireflies being competent enough to manufacture and distribute such a cure are even lower. The second game completely retcons this by making it seem as if a cure were guaranteed somehow, ignoring the rules and science established in the game and real world. Thus, Joel’s morally grey decision is replaced with ‘Joel take cure from world, Joel bad.’ Unfortunately, retroactively dumbing down the plot of the original game isn’t the limit of this game’s story. The story is disjointed and makes the mistake of trying to tell a simple story through complex means. The story boils down to ‘revenge bad’ but the story writers thought it necessary to introduce a new playable character and flashbacks within flashbacks to make us somehow understand why the developers made the decision to kill the most beloved character from the first game. This all fails and leaves the ending feel undercooked. I think they wanted us to feel empathy for Abby somehow but she is disliked by literally every character in the story and players irl. However, Abby’s story arch is completely asynchronous to the theme of the story and conflicts completely with the dark outcome for Ellie. I don’t know what the writers were thinking introducing a new player character. It’s been tried before in Metal Gear Solid 2&5, Halo 2&5, and if the pattern holds in the Last of Us 2 &5. In each of these instances the writers failed to give the player more of what they liked in the original by forcing them to play as a character they don’t care about. The only instance of this working I can think of is Red Dead Redemption 2 with the introduction of Arthur Morgan but that was helped by the fact you had a level of autonomy over the moral choices Arthur makes along with the fact that the sequel adds to the story of the original, not retracting from it. In summary, everything but the story is good. It might be worth playing eventually once it drops in price but the game length is short to begin with along with the fact the story is underwhelming and destroys a lot of your motivation to progress through the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly the gameplay, scenery and most of the dialogue between missions is amazing as it was in the first game. Some of my favourite parts in the game was hearing the little conversations between the main characters and old Joel + Ellie flash back dialogue. (SPOILER) But the elephant in the room the story. It is unbelievably disappointing. The story begins with amazing fan service I.e seeing the characters we love thriving years after the first game, meeting some interesting new characters along the way, until the game throws a curve ball, severing the ties with one of these beloved characters, Joel. The story then morphs into a revenge story which is fine in the grand scheme of things, but it slowly starts to force empathy for the characters we are drawn to hate, also forcing an ark where u play as the woman responsible for beating Joel to death with a golf club, which is far to long. I felt like I was on auto pilot and being fed a narrative for no reason.

    It becomes apparent the game just keeps throwing brief flash backs of Joel to mess with the attachments we have grown to him especially towards the end of the game when the two girls we play as finally fight. With this theme we are treated to an unbearably brutal part of the game, we are forced to play as the villain just after they have shot and killed one of the nicest friends portrayed in the game, then shooting tommy in the face obviously done in the moment to make players think he is dead. At this moment I almost switched off the game. The game then forces you to chase down Ellie and beat her to a pulp. The rest only gets worse from there, finally ending with the last word of the script, Joel once again being thrown in our faces like nothing with a “yep”. How bout a no.

    A Naughty Dog é um dos maiores estúdios de games no mundo, todos os jogos que ela faz sempre tem uma enorme qualidade, quando ela vai fazer algum game, já é de se esperar que o jogo venha com uma extrema qualidade, com the last of us parte 2 não é diferente.
    O the last of us parte 2 tem uma boa mecânica, ótima jogabilidade, músicas e efeitos sonoros perfeitos, bons gráficos, em fim gostei de praticamente tudo no jogo, uma coisa que as vezes falha no jogo é a inteligência artificial do inimigos, mais no geral esta tudo ok, pra mim é um dos melhores jogos nessa geração.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although the game did feature Joel’s death in the most dishonorable way possible, it fueled the rest of the game for greatness (if that makes sense). What I mean is: Joel’s death was a tragic event in the story, but it didn’t ruin the whole game. It was delivered amazingly and really had a lot of suspense leading up to it. Now the gameplay/graphic design was outstanding, there weren’t a lot of frame-drops, and the combat was energizing and exciting. Whether you were fighting someone with a bow, a sledgehammer, or even an attack dog, the game delivered gracefully. I do understand the idea of the game being pandered to an “SJW,” kind of audience, but it wasn’t really forced into my face like a lot of other reviewers. In the end I’ve really enjoyed this game, and would play it again in a heartbeat. 100 (btw I’m not some bigwig who got the game early, I got it the same time it came out.) Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 9/10 Graphics - Some very beautiful cut-scenes and the characters all look pretty good.
    7/10 Story - The story takes a turn for the worst, but overall it's a pretty decent story its nothing special as its been done before loads of times.

    7/10 Characters - If you can get over the fact that many if not all of your favourite characters will die a horrible death then they are good, Favourite characters get killed as if they meant nothing!

    7/10 Game play - Again nothing new, its just the same as it was in the last of us part 1, all that's been added is a few new moves, a way to counter incoming blows and updated visuals. Game for me ran smoothly and encountered no bugs.

    Overall i'd say the game is a solid 8.5/10 some parts i did not agree with but overall i enjoyed the experience and i did not find Abby to be as bad as people said she was.

    Alright so I'm sure you've seen all the negative reviews and I would just like to address some of the things that people didn't like about this game.

    1. Ellie being gay. This shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone who played the DLC of the first game as it becomes clear that Ellie has a thing for girls. Ellie being gay isn't forced and it adds to the game. 2. The whole revenge thing.

    2. The whole revenge thing. This game explores how revenge is multilayered and sometimes killing everyone isn't the solution to a problem.

    3. The gameplay. Honestly, the gameplay isn't too different from the original asides from some additions such as dodging, and new things that can be crafted. If they did do an overhaul of the controls than the game would be completely different.

    The only thing that I think it could have improved on was making a more fleshed out story although it is decent

    The Last of Us Part II is not perfect. Creating a "perfect" piece of media is, in my opinion, impossible. However, this game is pretty damn close. It's a shame that people decided it sucked before they even gave it a chance. Naughty Dog spent years of development painstakingly crafting their best vision for this game, and yet people are so quick to attack with mindless fury.

    Naughty Dog again proves that it can rise to expectations. With The Last of Us Part II, the studio maintains its prestigious status with a continuation that keeps intact the shades of the original, although it fails to completely overcome it. In parallel, it attempts to resolve a multi-faceted conflict that is impossible to cut, judge, or limit to spectrums as simple as "good" or "evil."Naughty Dog again proves that it can rise to expectations.

Although character characterization is commendable, sometimes they feel without growth since they make the same mistakes over and over again. The outcome is grimly satisfying (in a sick and odd sense). The result is a visceral delivery supported by its combat, stealth, and world-building.

    The story is the "pièce de resistance" of the game. The new characters are complete, believable. They grow on you and become actually likable. You feel for them, these feelings change throughout the entire game. No one is the hero, no one is the bad guy here.
    Ellie is still the amazing character from the first game that we all remember and love. And with everything that happens in this game, you feel for her and understand her choices. You may not agree with them all the time, but you can understand them.
    Joel has a key part throughout the entire piece. The scenes with this character are the most heartbraking and heartfelt in the game.
    Open mindedness is the key to this game. You just have to experience the whole thing to judge the game. In the end, you definitely won't regret it.

The first hours shockingly devastating blow puts an incredibly heart moving story in motion that questions choices, morality and loss. The character designs and environmental locations are stunning and immersive and the harrowing journey is both beautiful and soul crushing. I have to state this game is not happy and is almost magnitudes more violent, gory and depressing than that of the first game. Many reviews are about this issue however what people need to realise is the violence as bad as it is is extremely realistic the LGBTQ+ aspect of the characters is also a refreshing change of pace as whilst front and centre between characters such as Ellie and Dina it never feels forced or unwarranted yet it also doesnt command the screen. There are no plot holes however you are required to read everything in game to understand them there for making for good replay ability. Naughty Dog has created one of if not the best game of all times and i commemorate them deeply ... Well done :) Expand

It’s that Naughty Dog ruined such beloved characters and created a terrible story in the process that makes this game unbearable to even finish.

    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.
