    Очень слабый сюжет, посыл игры понятен, но реализован очень слабо. В тоже время непонятно в чем был смысл убивать столько персонажей, получается все выжившие маньяки?

    The only reason im giving this game 1 and not 0 is because the graphics are amazing but as a single player, story game there needs to be a good story. Im actually impressed they managed to ruin and completly destroy joel for a revenge story that no one will remmember.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely disgusting how the beloved characters, Joel and Ellie, are treated after their amazing adventure from part 1 in 2013. This is what the fans waited for?! Really!??
    The beginning of the game plays out like the first episode of season 7 of the Walking Dead, where Joel is beaten to death with a golf club by a newly introduced villain named Abby. To make things worse, the game then forces you to play as Abby, a character you will hate. Ellie vows revenge against Abby, but she never gets it. The end of the game is one of the most pointless depressing endings I've ever had the displeasure of viewing.
    It's clear that Naughty Dog had an agenda to push with this game. Specifically an "Anti-White male" agenda. This is something I will absolutely not support and I will no longer purchase any games from Naughty Dog. The director, Neil Druckman, will never live this game down and it will always come back to haunt him.    … Expand

    Si te gustó el primero, no te va a gustar el segundo. Y menos pagar 70 euros. Este juego es malo, la prensa ha vendido la moto. Encima sino te gusta, eres un facha homofobico? No lo entiendo. En serio no gastéis vuestro dinero ahora, esperad a que esté a 10 euros. Es un un sin sentido el juego.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is not just a bad game, because of his death - nah! Naughty Dog promised to much and delivered too less.

    Graphics are good, gameplay is mediocre, but the story is horrible. The extremely forced/unconvincing and lazily written plot is filled with massive plot holes, disrespects beloved characters, and completely ignores everything that made the original game great. It is a disgrace to the original game.

    Tries way to hard and ends up succeeding at nothing. If this was the first game in there series the franchise would of been doomed to a niche audience. You'd probably enjoy watching the movie "Cats" for 25 hours more than playing this game. If you still want to know the story I'd say wait till a YouTuber puts the whole gameplay up and watch it there. It'll be free and more manageable then. Enjoy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU was never known for its gameplay mechanism. The first one had mediocre gameplay, with some interesting additions to it, like the interesting details when you attack from a different elevation than your opponent.
    So coming into this game, I never expected anything as far as gameplay was concerned. And my expectations were met as the gameplay is quite monotonous with a far disparity with the story. The jump button, much hyped, if removed changes literally nothing from the game. The feel of Ellie is a positive though, as she feels more nimble than Joel. Seattle looks stunning as hell.
    But the game doesn't deserve a single star due to it blatant disrespect towards the legacy of the first game, a story telling masterpiece that was. This game's storyline is a trainwreck from the get go. Even if we ignore the overwhelming bad story, the plot holes, unreal character decisions and negligible character developments really nail the coffin for this one.
    Ellie is unrelatable and unnecessarily violent, Joel is stupider than Neil Druckmann's lady love, and Abby....oh Abby, where do I even begin with this one. The game tries so hard to justify her actions and yet fails to develop her character beyond the, "I have suffered too".
    And clickers, they do not matter anymore. In a post apocalyptic game with a world that was formed due to the existence of them zombies, they offer nothing to the gameplay, or the story.
    25 hours of gameplay, 30 with exploring, and the game never develops, neither with the story, nor with the gameplay...it is unbelievable that this is the studio responsible for the Uncharted series and the first TLOU. But then again, those were not Neil Druckmann's shows.
    This game is the embodiment of everything wrong with the entertainment industry as of now, and should not be supported, lest we want this industry struck down into the groumd.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW OF A PS4 GAME.

    I just finished the game. All I can say, game is bad overall. When you talk games like TLOU generally, you talk about a "story" not "gameplay". While gameplay plays a big part, story plays a bigger one.
    Straight forward, ND destroyed the game. They forced agendas upon their players knowing TLOU had a lot of fans, and the game grew so much in those seven years gap.
    What they did to get their money was false marketing the *STORY*. Check the latest "reveal date" trailer from them. They painted the game as if you'll play with Ellie now she's grown up, while having Joel alongside later in the game, and that never happened.
    Last of "Us" always meant to me as two characters: Ellie and Joel. Now I don't disagree with killing Joel, but he deserved much **** better. We fell in love with his character, and you killing him off just to push some agenda in the first 2 hours is what I call killing off the **** game.

    I was one of those who defended the game before playing it, but now that I did and finished it, all I can say I'm sorry for doubting the haters, because I'm one, too.

    AND that aside, fans expected lots answers: Why is Ellie immune? What happened to the world? The cure? They left a lot of **** just to push some agenda, which I'm okay with, but completely **** unnecessary, especially in a video game like this.

    But hey I learnt a lesson here which is never preorder a game, especially from PS dog**** store. I wasted $60, and I will regret paying ND this **** much for this ****ty game.

    Now, I want a dev or a storyteller who was part of TLOU 2 making to actually make a video explaining the meta behind the writing of this **** story. How can you even come up with this trash? Were there ever QA involved here? DID ANYBODY IN THIS COMPANY TEST THIS GAME AND THOUGHT "OH WE SHOULDN'T DO THAT." ?!

    I'm so **** triggered. I wish I could refund this. Nice kill, Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    If they wanted to destroy the characters from the first game and give us a story devoid of anything that makes you feel good; then they should have made a different game. Don't call it the last of us 2, because it's the worst sequel I've ever played.

    It makes you feel dead! Don't play this game if you want to enjoy a story.

    But let`s talk about storyline. The way they put out Joel (one of the most loved and important character) is awful. They just kill him to start the plot of part 2 and the only emotion I felt was anger to the person who wrote this story. There were so many ways to make it better, to create a wave of emotions in fan`s community... but looks like they were only occupied on creating the whole propaganda on each corner of the story. The moment I saw how they (story-makers) killed Joel, I immediately canceled my pre-order of the game and I won`t buy it, because I don`t want to support such games were propaganda and minorities who don`t play games are put in first priority, despite the fan`s community. I know that gameplay and graphics (not sure lol) were improved but this game was never about this. This game was about story and atmosphere. And this is only one big gap in the story-line.
    I hope that this comment will help people. It`s only my humble opinion. But I believe in the gamers community. We can change the way game-devs think about us. We are not only wallets and we don`t buy those fakes idea they try to sell us. We showed it on the DLC of Rome total war 2, COD MW, Battlefield 5, Star wars battlefront 2 and many many others.

    This game is a tragedy. Following up on one of the most critically acclaimed and popular titles of the PS3, there were certainly high expectations for The Last of Us Part II, and it has not only failed to meet those expectations, but has become emblematic of a far larger problem in gaming, and the entertainment industry as a whole.

    To start, I can see the spirit of many good ideas    This game is a tragedy. Following up on one of the most critically acclaimed and popular titles of the PS3, there were certainly high expectations for The Last of Us Part II, and it has not only failed to meet those expectations, but has become emblematic of a far larger problem in gaming, and the entertainment industry as a whole.

    To start, I can see the spirit of many good ideas throughout. The visuals, the gameplay, the music, it's all top-notch. The framework for interesting narrative and character developments is present, but what has been applied to that framework is frankly terrible. What could have been a compelling tale of revenge, given Abby and Ellie's near identical personal quests to 'kill their father's murderer', becomes a poorly handled mess as desperate attempts to make Abby appear more likable and relatable fall apart with her ultimate characterization being that of a dangerous psychopath, consumed by her own bloodlust and unchecked by the lawless nature of this post-apocalyptic world. What's worse, is as a person of LGBTQ+ status, her poor characterization feeds into the prejudices many people unfortunately hold to this day, resulting in a character that feels less like positive representation and more exploitation. Ellie, on the other hand, is made out to be far worse than we know her to be in a clear attempt to improve the perception of Abby. And the same is certainly true of former series protagonist, Joel, who is made out to be a monster.

    Abby's past is framed in a manner that neglects Ellie's lack of consent in the operation that would've killed her, trying to further endear her, as well as the posthumous representation of her father, to the player despite their complicity in the murder of a young girl. And while there is opportunity for a deeper exploration of 'sacrifice for the greater good' it goes largely untouched.

    The game's story and characters all are mishandled and misused at best, or outright abused at worst. Now, does this make the game a 0 / 10? No. What does is the impetus of The Last of Us Part II and what it represents in media.

    It's difficult to miss the controversy over the last decade. 'Subversion of expectations' has certainly made its rounds as an excuse for rushed, forced and sloppily handled properties. There's also the implication, particularly in gaming journalism, of a 'cut-off' of insider information which in turn can lead to such outlets losing traffic and by extension, money. It's difficult to remain a competitive news source when you've been restricted access to review copies, trailers, and interviews all because you've been critical of a particular company. But that's not the biggest problem here. That award goes to the sheer venom and spite many companies and teams in the entertainment industry have towards their fan base. To see the directors, writers, producers, all of these major personalities associated with movies, TV shows, and games to show such open contempt for their detractors and critics and to see associated news outlets scurry to their defense is far beyond insulting. We live in a world where if a film releases starring a female lead and it is panned by audiences, there are marketing crews to spin the criticism as sexism to undermine their validity. If a video game releases and consumers flock to berate it, it's classified as 'review bombing' or 'trolling' or sometimes also 'sexism', 'racism', or 'LGBTphobia'. In the Last of Us Part II's case it's all of the above.

    This practice isn't just becoming normalized either. It IS the norm. And that's unacceptable. Entertainment media should thrive because of its audience, not in spite of them. The Last of Us Part II is yet another case study in a long, long list of these controversies. It is far from the first and sadly I fear it'll be far from the last.    … Expand

    Parte 1

    - Abby, filha de um dos "vagalumes" mortos pelo Joel no jogo 1 é introduzida como uma das protagonistas do game.
    - Ellie descobre o que Joel fez para salvá-la e fica com raiva dele.
    - Uma garota chamada Dina, ex-namorada de um oriental chamado Jesse, se apaixona por Ellie e beija ela na frente do vilarejo inteiro.
    - Abby aparece e mata Joel igual à um porco usando um taco de golfe. Joel morre de forma humilhante, tendo sua cabeça arrebentada igual à uma melância podre, bem na frente de Ellie que chegou ao local para tentar salvá-lo.
    - Ellie então parte em busca de vingança e mata vários dos comparsas da Abby. Mas quando encontra ela, toma um pau junto com sua namorada. Jesse, ex da Dina morre, e Tommy (irmão do Joel) toma um tiro na cara, mas sobrevive.

    Parte 2

    - O Game para e agora mostra Abby, a mulher maromba como protagonista. Você descobre sobre tudo que ela viveu até ali, que era apaixonada por um cara que era casado com outra, que ela e seus amigos eram desertores do grupo WLF.
    - Abby é capturada pelos Seraphites (um grupo religioso extremista preconceituoso), mas foge de lá com duas minas japas, sendo que uma delas, pensa que é homem (é trans).
    - Abby então descobre que Ellie estava matando seus amigos e parte em busca dela, acha a Ellie e aí mata o Jesse, atira no Tommy e dá um pau na Ellie e na Dina (igual eu disse antes ali em cima). Mas não mata elas, pois a oriental trans lá, pede pra ela não fazer isso.
    - Depois disso, Abby recebe um convite para se mudar para uma nova base dos Vagalumes, mas ela e seu(sua) amigo(a) oriental são capturadas por um grupo de caras que caçam pessoas e fazem elas de escravos.

    Parte 3

    - O jogo então corta e mostra Ellie e Dina vivendo numa fazendo e criando o filho que Dina teve com Jesse, como uma espécie de broken back mountain feminino. - Ellie ainda está perturbada e com vontade de matar a Abby.
    - Depois de uma visita de Tommy, Ellie resolve ir de atrás de sua vingança. Dina diz que se Ellie for, ela terminará com ela e não estará mais ali quando Ellie voltar.
    - Ellie vai mesmo assim, invade o acampamento dos "escravizadores", mata mais uma pá de gente até que acha Abby, que agora tava toda judiada, magra e sem músculos.
    - Ellie ajuda os escravos a escapar, mas desafia Abby para uma luta, ameaçando matar o(a) amigo(a) oriental da Abby.
    - Abby aceita e as duas saem no soco. Dessa vez Ellie vence e começa a afogar Abby no mar, porém, Abby arranca dois dedos de Ellie com uma mordida. Ellie não desiste e continua inforcando ela, até que, do nada lembra do Joel, e libera Abby, perdoando-a e deixando-a fugir com seu(sua) amigo(a).
    - Ellie volta pra sua fazenda, mas Dina não está lá. Ellie então tenta tocar o violão que Joel lhe deu e não consegue, porque ficou sem dois dedos.

    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.
