    One of the best games I have played! Awesome graphics and the plot is interesting and doesn't bore you. Can't decide wich part was better.

    Beh comunque niente male.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Невероятная игра, пробирает до мурашек. Сцены насилия сделаны слишком реалестично, от них становится реально страшно. Игра страшная, но не как хоррор с классическими скримерами, страшно становится от крови, трупов. Отличный сюжет, невероятная постановка диалогов и боя, отличный стелс.
    Из минусов, очевидно, часть игры за Эбби, персонаж неинтересный.
    Так же мне кажется что в игре стало слишком много ресурсов, по сравнению с первой частью, где ты входил в бой с 1-3 патронами. Проходил игру на сложном уровне, при этом в каждом здании было не сложно найти кучу вещей для крафта и с десяток патронов.
    Из-за этого не 10, считаю что 1 часть была лучше, но и во 2 рекомендую обязательно поиграть.    … Expand

Tinha acabado de terminar o primeiro jogo e meu Hype estava gigantesco, e ele foi superado, pois esse jogo superou todas minhas espectativas. Uma obra-prima e com certeza um dos melhores jogos que já joguei em minha vida. O problema desse jogo com relação ao primeiro, é que ele não será uma unanimidade, não serão todos que irão gostar do jogo no fator história, mas eu gostei e muito. Mas de resto, posso considerar esse jogo como o melhor jogo do ano...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Have had some time to think about the game as a whole. I am a big fan of the first game as it shows the character growth between these two individual who have lost their faith in the world. How they connect and start to respect and have this care for one another really was amazing to see unfold. Sadly the second game in this franchise has crashed. This is the most visually and best sounding Game I have played on the PS4 let alone any game in recent memory. Ellie’s determination to seek revenge is one a lot of the fans got behind with what unfolded in a certain scene. Sadly the story falls flat and we are expected to play as the character who made Ellie seek revenge. Let alone for 10+ hours as her. In my personal opinion she is the worst part of the game. It feels lacklustre playing as her and trying to get us to feel certain emotions for her just simply don’t work. As a big fan of this franchise I was hoping for Ellie’s and Joel’s story. I did feel for that unfortunate scene to take place in the beginning hours but Joel’s death should of been / meant more. Having his death done the way it was, was unnecessary. It felt like it was only done as a shock value moment. The story could of been amazing and the risks could of been greater. Neil. I don’t know what you were thinking and how you thought this was the correct way to tell such an impactful story but your way off the mark. Do the fans a service and really look into what we all have to say. Fix the ending. Fix the narrative. By the end of the game it all felt pointless. There wasn’t a means to the end. If a third gets made. Maybe take a back seat. I’m sure you are a great and respected person in your industry but don’t spit in the fans face with this story. Maybe look into something like Mass Effect 3 and put out a patch to fix the mess it is currently. A lot could of been amazing in this game but every chance you flipped it and it doesn’t feel deserved for the reasoning.… Expand

    Bad story, bad promotion, bad ending, bad director & game studio behavior against the community,
    You can't fight the user base of your game and expect to win,
    Let this be a lesson to learn to all other game studios,
    Gamers will not accept whatever crap you create, you must listen.

    the writing is awful, the visuals are okay but that's what you're SUPPOSED to do so it's not really anything to reward them over the gameplay and mechanics have very little changes, some of the mechanics are outright useless but its not something really amazing. the only part of this game truly new and something to talk about is the animations, but seeing as    could've been better.

    Tech wise and on the gameplay front this game is a step up from part 1. The story is where it falls short.
    The story is somewhat weirdly paced and is telling 1 and a half stories. They could have cut the game after the first climax at 90% and wrap it in a nice resolution, but then they restart it and are leaving some things in an unsatisfying way.

    Graphics are beautiful. Combat feels clumsy at points. The stealth is non existent because everyone is naturally blind until you change settings. The story feels like a fan fiction of someone who hates the first game and never understood what makes it good the relationship Ellie build in the new game is kinda cute and sweet but all other characters feel like cut outside of their precious selves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This one is a pass if you played the first game. The story does not focus on TLOU1, instead it fleshes out a story of a new villian. Either lots of changes went on recently before launch,or the trailers were made deliberately to trick fans. If you loved TLOU1, and are looking forward to a new Joel and Ellie experience this is not it. If you saw the trailer and thought this game would carry the magic of the first game, this is not it. Joel and Ellies dynamic is thrown out the window, their decision making has been completely retconned. The major plot points set in motion by Ellie and Joel are completely out of character. This honestly feels like a fan made story, but with a triple A budget for gameplay. I have no idea what was going on in the writers room, this new story completely disrespects Ellie and Joel and still leaves loose ends for a part 3.… Expand

    A masterpiece from start to finish, never before has a game made me invest so much reflection on the choices and cycles of violence my character perpetrates.

It's not surprising the game is so polarising, because it's not supposed to be an easy thing to stomach. Brutal and compelling story aside, it's the best looking and sounding game this generation. It is without a doubt a 10.

    Such a emotional ride through part II. It's a sad, rage, unendurable story. And it pitches a far more chaotic, cruel world experience than part I. I hate that what Characters have to suffer, and i reminds me of my friend who committed suicide... Still, it is a strong game to bring me such a strong feeling. Good or not, you should experience yourself.

    Why are LG B T topics shown everywhere?
    Strong women weighing 60 kg, what?
    Why does the plot have so many advantages, and so many shortcomings.
    Why could killing Ellie save the world? Can’t you just take blood?
    Why wasn't she killed when Joel was killed?
    Why is gray morality and masculine women shown everywhere?

    So, it seems i have to wait to give negative reviews because too early it'd be review bombing, but, here it is.
    The story is an insult to the acclaimed previous title which embodied an absolutely enjoyable story from most points of view, and with this new title, NDA literally throws everything in the trash. Shame on you Neil...

    I'm not sure how many times I've played through The Last of Us (Part I). Too many times, probably. One of the key things that keeps making it worth revisiting is the characters and the way they interact with one another. Joel and Ellie are written in a way that feels so true and natural, and that goes for the rest of the characters too.
    This quality carries over perfectly into Part II. This game presents a story that's much darker than what was served up in the first game. Even though Part I was certainly dark, the core theme of the game's story was that of finding hope in a world that feels lost. The themes of Part II are much heavier, dealing with the cyclical nature of violence, the futility of revenge, and losing yourself to hatred. But much like the first game, it's all carried by the excellent character work.
    As the game takes Ellie down an increasingly darker path, she's still given little personal moments with her loved ones that serve to flesh out the humanity in the characters. These interactions feel just as natural and charming they did in Part I. The story plays out in a pretty surprising way, which I won't spoil, where it forces you to consider the humanity of the people that you're killing. It's less so a revenge story as much as it is a story about turning into the very monster you've sought to destroy.
    There are two caveats to the story telling that stuck out to me though. One is that it gets a bit overindulgent with time jumps and flashbacks, which kind of trips up the pacing and the flow of continuity a little bit. The other is that it does drag a bit at times. There are a few parts where I was wondering how relevant what I was seeing is to the overall story. But even through those parts I wasn't too bothered, because the characters are still interesting to follow and I was busy enjoying the gameplay. Which brings me to...

    The gameplay is just as solid as it was in the previous game, with some extra polishes and tweaks added on top. Encounters with infected people remain nerve-racking, the scarcity of supplies keeps the tension high, fights against human enemies feel even more brutal than in the first game and most importantly, you get to play fetch with a dog.
    Exploring the remains of human civilization, catching glimpses of the lives of people who came before is still a great and, at times, harrowing experience.
    If you played Part I and enjoyed the gameplay, then Part II totally delivers.

    The graphics are top notch. Just stellar. I don't know what else to say on the subject. Try turning the camera around to Ellie's face from time to time just to see how much care was put into her contextual facial expressions. She'll smirk or frown or display whatever relevant emotion she may be feeling during incidental conversations during gameplay. You could play the whole game just staring at her back and never see this. There are so many little details like this in the animations, scenery and environmental storytelling that take this game to the next level. The devs didn't need to do any of that. But they did. Because they love you and this game is how they show it.

    The Last of Us Part II feels like a worthy, but challenging, successor to a classic. This could've been an easy retread that doesn't take any chances. It could've just put Ellie and Joel on another journey across the country, filled with hero moments and easy to process "kill the bad people" scenarios. But instead it goes for a more nuanced and difficult to digest story that makes you think about the characters and their morality.

    Oh, also the game has like gay people and women in it or something (wow, just like real life!) If you find that difficult to deal with then I guess you're not ready for this game yet. Give it time. We all grow up eventually.    … Expand

    Story is an uninspiring revenge story, that has an unsatisfying ending. Too generic is what I'm trying to say. Gameplay is only slightly improved since the first game, so that's also disappointing.
    The original game didn't need a sequel. This feels so unnecessary, and too rushed in some aspects. It sadness me deeply, since the original The Last of Us    1 point for visuals. 1 point for audio.

    Gameplay, story and atmosphere are exactly what you would hope for after The Last of Us Part 1. The game's score is being brigaded by followers of a couple of youtube channels who didn't like what they saw then when the leaks occured. It is almost as if readying a small section of the end of the story doesn't sound great when your missing 25 hours of character development and backstory.Gameplay, story and atmosphere are exactly what you would hope for after The Last of Us Part 1.

It is almost as if readying a small section of the end of the story doesn't sound great when your missing 25 hours of character development and backstory. Speaking of the games length, it is approximately 25-30 hours to complete, and as you will see most reviews occured hours after the games release. Hopefully metacritic implement some kind of verification because its a shame a large amount of anti-LGBT have a platform to express hate like this.

    The game play is extremely solid, with multiple pathes to reach your goal, the story is paced very well and goes above and beyond what I expected while playing it. I felt like towards the end it became harder to stealth around, however, I can also see why considering the stories developments. A great successor to The Last of Us.    … Expand

    It's a videogame example of how to not make a sequel. Carrying great soundtrack and visuals, this game suffers from incredibly poor plot and uninspired, clunky gameplay which leads to a path of destroying what was loved about the first one.

    For starters: The start of the game: Absolutely brilliant as twists and turns.
    The characters are rather interesting except a few.
    The scenario I prefer not to talk about it because it is lower than that of the 1st.

    In the end it is a good game but it lacks this thing that the 1st had.

Last Of Us 2 throws all character development and effort in story building for who knows what. Graphic is good but what’s the point when the story is so **** it makes you want to commit seppuku. The game forces down your throat with politics and messages that makes the character interaction so weird and unnatural.
    [Spoilers]

    Joe dies in the early play time no build up, no effort to make it seem redeemable just wasted character for their game of shock value. You feel so **** that after joe dies you regret even playing it. I can’t even tell you how much I sighed and whined. You are also force to give a **** and care about the character Abby that killed Joe by playing as her WTF? Why is this game even developed in the first place ? The game in summary just touched on how revenge is bad like WTF? It’s the apocalypse did the story developer not remember what their making. In those time’s you meet “clickers” your reminded it’s the last of us and it’s over-run by zombies. [summary]

    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.
