    O jogo é incrível e ao mesmo tempo odioso, me fizeram jogar com um personagem que não tinha nenhuma empatia e que tinha matado brutalmente um personagem que eu amava e por muito tempo.

    A pior parte foi bater a Elie com esse personagem. Deixei a Eliie me matar várias vezes de tanta raiva que eu tinha desse personagem; é como se eu estivesse jogando com a Sersey e tentando matar a Arya.

    Gameplay and fighting is poor and switching weapons is a joke. As for the story, tired of people pushing drug use, homosexuality and the like as part of a game. A tired revenge plot overall with LOTS of cinematics you just watch. Being returned this weekend. Soooo many better games

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I don’t agree with a 5.4 rating, I just as much don’t agree with a 10/10 rating. This games pacing is horrible. You’re all over the place with this game. I was hoping the leaks would be false about playing for Abby for the second half of the game. It was flashback after flashback and then you flash forward and then flash back and then flash to the present: it was all over the place. And after you beat the daylights out of Ellie and her crew as Abby, you flash forward like a year maybe 2 years into the future with completely different takes on the characters. For example: At the beginning of the game, Tommy doesn’t want Ellie to go face Abby and just let it go, and then at the end of the game, he calls Ellie pathetic for trying to let it go?? The whole barn sequence felt like a day dream or something. It’s like if you were watching a tv show that ran 4 seasons. 1st season is great so far. It’s good, it’s interesting, and it sets the tone and setting. 2nd season, it’s all right. It’s nothing like the first season, but you aren’t as interested. Then it feels like you skipped the 3rd seasons and went straight to the 4th/final season with new characters (rattlers) and Ellie, Abby and Tommy are all different characters now.

    Despite all that, there were many good parts to the game, mainly being gameplay.    … Expand

    Good gameplay, yet an horrendous story, the worst narrative I've ever seen and a terrible ending. There could've been so many things ND should've done rather than this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is far from a 10. Just finished it. I'm a graphics whore so I loved the global illumination technique used. It made a present gen game look almost new gen. Almost, because there were clear limitations shown by the aging hardware. Those limitations alone make it not a 10. You can't just go throwing 10's at games when there are clear flaws. There is no such thing as a perfect game and therefore no one should be slapping perfect scores on any game, ever.

    It's one of the best looking games ever made but it still had LOTS of geometry, texture and shadow LOD issues, various glitches, some PS2 quality textures in places not off the beaten path, some places where the baked GI was clearly not present, some frame rate issues on the Pro, a few 'zbuffer' issues, etc.. I've recorded short vids of a lot of this stuff, and a few screenies. The animation was amazing, loved their new animation system and hope that other devs catch onto it. I went to play Spiderman shortly after beating the game and the animation in that game now looks so flawed to me in comparison. ND has the best artists.

    The story… Too many contrived elements. I didn't have a problem with most of the story but treating some of the characters the way they did was unnecessary. This is a video game, therefore it isn't going to win any academy awards. Some sjw stuff was just unnecessarily shoved in my face which I didn't appreciate. The mushy, kissy kissy, lovey dove stuff went too far between E and D, like it was only there for the sake of pushing an agenda. If I had only seen it 2 or 3 times I wouldn't have thought anything of it. But then there were also the hairy armpits.. really? And not just once... Don't push that stuff in my face in a video game. It was almost as if someone high up on the team had a certain fetish.. If you want to argue realism, then you can certainly argue that Abby was a complete caricature because there is no way she could have looked like that without roids, and that isn't at all realistic in a post apocalyptic world. But it's there. So Abby had access to roids, but didn't have access to a razor? Can't argue that she's a dike because she isn't. Dina's a dike so I let that one go. If you look at young Abby she was not a bulky or stocky girl. She couldn't have obtained that look without roids. The look she had after the encounter with Ellie and Tommy, sure, that's possible.

    None of the characters in this game really stood out or were likeable. I just wanted Ellie and Dina both to get murdered somehow pretty early on. Crap characters, forced and way over done romance elements. I was so burnt out on this game by the time I finished Ellie's story, then I had sooooo much more to go than I realized. This game was way, way too long for the type of game it is. It just wasn't fun anymore after a certain point and I was just anxious to get it over with, staying up late trying to force it sooner rather than later. That's never a good sign of a decent game. Overall I'd give this game a 6/10. It isn't nearly as good as the first one and I'm so burnt out on it that I don't even want to go back to the first game to finish a new playthrough I started a few weeks ago. This game should have been split up into two games. Even then, they would both have been quite long if you explored and collected. I don't even think I'd want to see a third one.

    ND is much better at making Uncharted games. I'm now convinced that they just got really lucky with the first game and things just fell into place. Use this great engine and even better GI and visuals for a new Uncharted game. Heck, Nate can even bring his daughter as a sidekick since Sony loves sidekicks so much. Or give us an earlier story that we've never been told, maybe between UC2 and 3, or 3 and 4.    … Expand

I feel like the story had many directions it could’ve went but it just wasn’t the main concern as you can tell with the lazy writing. It took 7 years just for naughty dog to mess up an extraordinary new IP. There was no point to Joel death because in the end there was no revenge...so after I finished the game I felt very empty. I didn’t understand the moral of the story if there was one. The amazing graphics and gameplay quality can’t save such a dry story concept. Oh & it was very gay.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Calling the story poor is lazy.
    Calling the story perfect is lazy
    The story is brave and the morale that is tried to be established is alluring.
    I think for most people, where the story "fails" is that you have expected to see another story about your heroes. You expected to get a character development and an arc that makes sense for a fan, and that is something that Neil will have to deal with the team in the future. By the end of the day one could even say that you have created trailers that pointed in a wrong direction....you misguided our hopes.

    My recommendation would be to re-think the structural time-line that had been chosen and try to understand it's challenges for the future. By the end of the day there are so many themes and motives that need to be understood in order to really capture the meaning of the game that it would be taking a lot of Empathy, Forgiveness, Love to understand. How much love did you show the people by misguiding their hopes and emotions? How much Love did you show people by butchering Joel like that and how much Forgiveness did you offer to People by giving them this end?

    Also, my recommendation would be to review what is expected of the player (empathy) vs. what is shown by the characters (Abby, where is the empathy?)

    Did Elli lost herself? Lost her fingers, lost her ability to play the guitar? Her ability to connect with Joel ? Who is Elli now and how will she get back on track? ...7 years for this is really harsh.

    Did Abby forgive Elli? Will she be able to understand her sins? Will she be able to grow a conscious? Does she still feel it was right?....

    Why did Joels brother go to Elli and requested revenge? Isn't he the real adult? Doesn't he KNOW his brother? Joel never would have wanted this...

    The game creates a lot of questions and you leave people alone. I like being alone, but others might feel differently. It is an absolute hate-it-or-love-it product and you have to deal with that Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game will be hit or miss for a lot of people, the story was all over the place and felt forced in many instances, the whole "cycle of revenge" trope feels very tired at this point, and Elly taking the decision to not take Abby's life in the end to supposedly end the cycle makes no sense, since she proceeded to kill hundreds of people during the course of the game, and every kill could potentially create another "Cycle", this is a case where the story and gameplay just don't mesh well together at all. I'm also not saying that killing joel at the start of the game was that bad of a decision, it just could've been handled a lot better. As always the gameplay and graphics are top notch for a naughty dog game, I just never really felt invested in the story, and it felt like they could also skim 5 hours off the game which felt unnecessarilly long, especially in the abby section of the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's begin with the obvious: "If you have a hero already build in and everyone loves him, you do not start the story by killing him". The game lacks of consistency, has too many forced events, also trying to make you feel pity for the evil ones, WTF?? Really?!! I could have written a better story for Joel and Ellie for a second part, What is wrong with you guys at Naughty Dog, why didnt you respect basics??

    We all understand you want to add some social troubles to the game, but instead of creating an enjoyable environment, you guys were like, OMG, we do not have any more ideas, what should we do??, Please keep in mind a game is to entertain for hours and hours, and not to educate, if we want some lecture for anything related to our current Society, we either watch news, read books, or go to the school.

    Naughty Dogs, you should really apologize to all of US, and make a solid statement recognizing you really miss the path with the game and after that make an announcement indicating that you all will FIX this crap as it should be properly done, instead of just seating around in your office spending the money you earn with the love we fans have given to you for this franchise. I hope you Neil will never again write, or direct the game, if there is any other game in the franchise as you and any other writer for this game chapter II, has played as backstabber for the fans of this game.

    Do you know how much we were expecting this game just be let down by "this creative team"? and you do not act like grown ups, accepting the screw up the game and you should apologize and re do it properly.

    I just can't believe it how is it that you took so long to do this game, if this story has so much lack of consistency. I hope honestly that you can fix the game somehow, and re do chapter II even if it takes 3 more years, we fans would be glad to play something descent instead of this "whatever piece of art you want to call it".

    The only good fact on the game were the new people with the fungus,,,, outside that, I just want to cry of the deep deception I have now after playing the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Shame. Just shame. I had high hopes for this game, and they ruined it.
    The game is hollow, does not have any message or even a conclusion. It is not The Last of Us, it is just misery porn with nothing ever good happening, no chance of Ellie to shine throughout the story that was supposed to be about her but became about a ruthless psycho woman who killed one of the main characters right off the bat. They played with the personalities of both Joel and Ellie for the sake of the plot and it was incredibly forced.
    Joel would not trust a stranger. Neither would Tommy. Ellie would not forget that map at her enemy's base.

    The game tries to manipulate the player into liking Abby, but it fails miserably. Ellie kills dogs, Abby pets them. The people Ellie kills scream and beg, Abby saves two children. However, Ellie feels bad ever time she kills someone whereas Abby gets happy about killing a pregnant girl. She has sex with her friend's boyfriend. She never shows any remorse for her actions, and does not learn anything by the end of the game. So, no character development at all. She is just there for the idea of a "strong woman character" but get this straight; having big muscles does not make you strong. Showing compassion does.
    So, who thought having players play as Abby for 10+ hours is a good idea? The thing I hated the most was when I had to fight against Ellie as Abby. It is not even plausible that she could win that fight with no weapons whatsoever.
    Overall, the game has completely shattered the old characters' personalities, lives, and hopes. We got the worst ending possible with Ellie having lost everything. They also lied to the players in trailers and by not giving any info about playing as Abby. They knew we were here for Joel and Ellie so they kept it. The whole plot is filled with major plot holes and cheap emotional manipulation. On top of that, you have to play 10+ hours with a character you hate just to see this messed up ending.
    No, thanks. Naughty dog has just lost a fan, and Neil Druckmann will be remembered as one of the worst writers for years to come.
    The only reason I'm not rating it 0/10 is because of the hard work the design team has put into their work.    … Expand

    Pros:
    Score: 10/10 (as good as before, tense and brooding)
    art: 11/10 (the most beautiful game I have played on the ps4)
    gameplay: 10/10 (similar mechanics as before, LOVED the accessibility options).

    Cons:
    Story: 1/10 (I gave +1 stars to several "moments of clarity within the game that made me feel the same emotions from the first game"

    ---------------------------
    Why did I give this such a low rating? Easy - Neil Druckmann and
    Halley Gross fundamentally missed the mark on understanding what made The Last of Us special: Joel and Ellie. Their journey/bond together was the game - that was why I was waiting to see the continuation of their story after the cliffhanger in the previous installment. How did they cope with what happened? How will this change their bond?

    Unfortunately, this game spits at the legacy of both characters by sidestepping an actual narrative; instead, Druckmann and Gross focused on hollow, nihilism as a substitute for actual emotional depth.

    Ellie and joel don't feel the same - their personalities fundamentally seem off outside of brief moments within the story. While I liked Dena and Jesse, I couldn't get over that ellie, joel, and tommy were out of character almost the entirety of the game.

    Moreover, the game attempts to force sympathy on characters who aren't capable of sympathy themselves. Manipulative tactics as well as the forced narrative in story telling made the game wholly unsatisfying to play compared to the first.

    This game changes characters and situations from the previous game to drive this story - that was Gross and Druckmann's biggest error. I feel as though the game's story was designed to intentionally challenge my love of the previous game which is why this review probably deserves 0/10 stars. I don't know if I will ever connect with the first game and dlc again, knowing that this is where the story leads.

    What happened to the hopefulness? What happened to Ellie being special? I believe this game did immeasurable damage to the franchise. I won't support any future Last of Us projects - which absolutely breaks my heart.

    I don't believe this is a bad game. A bad game implies it wasn't worth playing based on the merit of the artists and designers. I believe this game was intentionally divisive which makes it not worth playing for fans who loved the first game. Ellie was so special and strong - but the devs decided that in this new world you play in, other people in this game are even more special and stronger and more justified in nonsensical actions they take.

    Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross, your "boldness" ruined one of the greatest franchises in history. I can see that Bruce Straley was crucial to the success of the game, the Last of Us franchise, and Naughty Dog's future. Good luck with the future Naughty Dog - I'm out.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is bad to say the least, first there is the part of the soundtrack, TLOU2 has one that in my opinion is excellent, I will give it that to Naughty dog, but anyone will agree that this is something that TLOU2 cannot hang on as games such as Undertale, which despite having a great story, its strongest point is the soundtrack that gave us as many memorable pieces as Megalovania.

    Now we go with the gameplay mechanics, TLOU2 has practically the same game mechanics as TLOU1 so there is not so much to analyze, except that they are good / decent for the genre, however, it does not shine here either as it could be the case of Sekiro, Mirror's Edge or even Dark Souls at the time that due to the lack of a clear story or the level of many other installments, they sought to shine with phenomenal game mechanics for their genres and that gave immersion.

    Graphics, here if I have to accept it, Naughty dog ​​really showed off what they can do, however, graphics should not be, in any case, something that a game can hang on, unless you want to be a kind of advanced simulator of some style. There are many incredible games that do not have the luxury of showing off with their graphics and still give incredible quality games such as Undertale, Limbo, celeste, etc.

    Finally, the most important thing in this genre is the narrative / story, in which TLOU failed miserably, the story is of the revenge format, however, in the end Ellie ends up forgiving Abby which is the main reason why her odyssey began and don't take it the wrong way, that's a good idea, if it is executed correctly, but the problem here is that Ellie killed all those who stood in her way to reach Abby, like, perhaps they had families, friends, etc(?) So there is no point in Ellie's final decision, at least end what you have already started, plus, people didn't want to play like Abby, they wanted to kill her and help Ellie do it, they essentially forced the player to do something they didn't want to by half a game and with a flat character with little or no evolution throughout the game. Looking for a good story of revenge or redemption? Look at examples such as God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Shadow of the Collosus, Assassins Creed Origins, among many, many others. So yeah, overall, the game doesn't give justice to what its predecessor was, it is just plain bad in the most important camp it had to shine. 2/10 I would like my money back    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll try to explain the best I can the reason for my review, and there will be spoilers probably. I finished the game almost a week ago. I waited till now to avoid giving a rate based on what the story was intended to. The gameplay, the only flaw I actually remember was few times where the triangle button for action didn’t show (I could see the circle indicating interaction but the triangle button to do it wouldn’t show and wouldn’t work). But that’s ok, the rest was pretty much flawless. The puzzles, were witty enough to entertainment but not hard enough to make you get bored because you couldn’t get through it, I like them. I did found tiring some times the looting mechanics, repetitive, but that’s me; I know a lot of players that loved it. Music, outstanding as we thought, the music for each scene were so accurate, they would complete the immersive experience by starting in the right moment. Graphics were awesome, I was speechless more than a few times. The accurate description of plants taking over cities, the moss on rainy cities, the tracks on the snow and mud sections were surprisingly good. It was pretty good. Now to the controversy, the story: I don’t really hate the story, I understand the message behind the story. We hate seeing how Ellie does everything Joel never wanted her to do, she throws her life away searching for revenge instead of trying to get comfort on the family she had with Dina and JJ. But that’s ok, that’s the point, to feel it even harder because you’re watching how revenge is ruining a character you have the urge to protect, due to the first game, and everyone around. What messed up the game for me was playing as Abby and here is why:
    •Abby has a game style pretty close to Joel’s. The way she executes sneaky attacks, the need to craft shiv, the ability to press down and x to quickly change the camera point of view etc. •We are forced to guide her to the theater where she kills Jessie, shots Tommy and almost gets Dina killed. •We are forced to fight Ellie in a way that resembles way too much the fight against David on the first (can’t do direct attack, have to hide and avoid make noise, have different stages to defeat her, really even the advice in the screen was similar “use listening mode to get the upper hand” ) •We have to fight Tommy as a sniper with Abby, the same way Joel had to get through a sniper on the first one. •lev and Abby bonding story resembling Joel and Ellie’s. Where Abby finds a reason to redeem herself with lev, the same way Joel finds a way to redeem himself by protecting Ellie. • this one is not that important, but also contributed. Back to the hospital, we see this conversation between the doctor and Marlene, the purpose is for us to understand that they were just making things right... but Ellie was right there, they could’ve ask, but they chose to kill her without remorse. So, while I understand the “one for the many”, I can’t say I understand their choice here. For this reason the rest of the story lost the weight it had. In general the game felt as if the developers were mocking me as a gamer and fan of the first game. They put so many thing that resembled the first game on abbys character knowing that we would hate it, that it felt they were laughing at me. So, my score is due to the poor respect they had for the players. And because to be honest when I finished it, the words that came out of me was: is that it? At that point I want even mad or sad, nothing. Finishing: I won’t discourage people from buying it, I’m honestly just sharing my experience, which can or can’t be like yours. I will recommend tho, that if your going in because of the story, watch some spoilers, because there are lots of disappointed gamers for different reasons. If you’re playing without having played the 1st one or just because of the gameplay, go ahead, you will probably love it. Have fun, Barxco.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this would be a good rating for the game. You really must play the game before you make assumptions on it. The ending isn't a **** revenge story. It was the end of a story where you lose everything. She has nobody and is left alone. While the person who had even and started the revenge cycle and put all of her friends in danger gets to walk away with somebody she cares about. A truly sad ending. I will not be going back for a second playthrough because of the way that they naughty dog handled certain things like the deaths of characters like Joel of course. If you stopped playing the game because of that. Don't finish it. It doesn't get any better. Other than the story the gameplay is really tight and just like the old last of us. If you liked the first games combat then this is right for you. Everything from the first is implemented into this and then some. I really enjoyed this games combat and the way you can go about killing people. It has a little bet of everything for everyone. Overall this is ok game worth a purchase. And who knows if you really don't like it you could always buy a copy hoping they wright a better story.… Expand

    First of all I'd like to say that I loved the first game, it makes me cry every single time at the end of the prologue and it is just crushingly beautiful and human. A character driven, morally ambiguous, dare I say it, masterpiece.

    Sadly the best comparison to the Last of us part II I can make is the last season of Game of Thrones. You know the people in it, it still looks beautiful and you can see the effort and hard work gone into it, but it feels wrong. It's not that I hate the story, it's that it is not character driven anymore but plot/theme driven. It is driving home a point with a viciousness that seems to ignore its own origins. I think the most heartbreaking thing is when the game has moments that are genuinely beautiful and well written that shows the potential this game had and the talent behind it. Again, like GoT it's not that the story itself is bad, it's the execution that is the problem, it's about believability. The idea for the plot was controversial and bold, that however raises the stakes on how to execute it - where it falls short in my opinion.
    Another personal pet peeve is trans representation, this is no criticism of including trans characters in stories, but how. it seems that not enough thought was put into sensitivity reading of the plot when a trans character is repeatedly deadnamed not to mention the emotional suffering said character has to go to for being trans. I also wondered why include a trans character in a game that is essentially about the circle of violence to begin with. It does seem a little like just checking the box "has trans representation" without any deeper thought about how that representation is executed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Major spoiler alert!

    OK. I absolutely loved TLoU Part 1 and was really looking forward to sequel. Got my hopes crushed!

    Gameplay: more or less the same as the first part. Yes, they added a few details here and there, but it's not game changing. It's not why you play the game anyway. It's bearable, though sluggish controls don't make it easy. To be fair, sluggish controls are there for the most of 3rd/1st person console games.
    Graphics: awesome. It's one of the best-looking games out there. Landscapes are breath-taking, animations are realistic.
    Music: great. Not as atmospheric as the first part, but still very decent.
    Story: pure, absolute **** It's not that the game gets hatred for LGBT characters, no. Or Abby's appearances. It's because:
    1. Joel gets killed in the first few hours in the game in a very cruel way by a nobody. Which he helped to survive. Which, for some reason, he starts to trust enough just to end up in a trap with her whole group. Joel. The guy you (I) invested in 3 playthroughs of TLoU, the guy that survived a metal fitting through his stomach, dies by hand of a nobody. Snap!
    2. Ellie loses her father-figure and is out for revenge, whatever it takes, she's willing to put everything on the line.
    3. Ellie is fierce, cruel and determined. She's like an icebreaker, doesn't much but her ultimate target. Just goes forward killing everything that stands in between her and that nobody.
    4. Just at the point where it all may end, you're forced to spend 10 hours exploring the nobody that killed your beloved character. The simple fact you're playing as Abby makes you puke, as you cannot possibly justify her actions - she has no backstory at all at this point.
    5. Yeah, Joel killed her father. Yeah, he had it coming. No, it's not enough to sympathize Abby.
    6. You get a bit of Abby's backstory with bleak supporting characters. Some of it just directed at making you emotional. You as Abby have to play with a dog that already know you as Ellie will kill in a couple of game-days.
    7. ...and it still doesn't make you sympathize with Abby. Even the fact she changes her mind about two innocent kids that belong to a rival faction, which she's supposed to kill on sight, doesn't help.
    8. When Abby confronts Ellie, you just want to break your controller in order not to hurt the character you've spent the whole first part, and the half of the second part. Do you have any choice? Nope.
    9. Fast-forward a few months, Ellie, having escaped death's hands in form of Abby, is having quiet, happy life. Wait, did I say happy? Sorry, nope, she still has flashbacks on Joel's death. She's still willing to put everything on the line, including her partner and their child to kill Abby. Determination!
    10. So she spends months to travel to California. And she's very set to get her revenge.
    11. She kills like 50 people to get to Abby in the last hour. Who knows how many has she killed before.
    12. When she gets to Abby, she just unties her and walks her to boats to escape. Is she letting her go? Looks like it...
    13. Nope, she has another flashback and she decides to get the revenge finally!
    14. Nope, after her two fingers are bitten off, she has ANOTHER flashback and lets Abby go. All determination is thrown out of the window.
    15. The great return: Ellie didn't get her revenge, lost her partner, her child, lost her quiet life, worsened her relationships with Tommy, and lost the ability to play the guitar. So she ditches the guitar and goes off wandering.
    The message: Revenge is bad, mmmkay?

    Unlikable characters, plot that sometimes doesn't make sense, desperate tricks to make you emotional and total failure to get the player to sympathize anyone but Ellie.

    During the second part of the game, I lowered the difficulty to novice just to make Abby rush through the plot.

    Ellie's decisions are driven by flashbacks.

    No, I won't replay this.    … Expand

    I look forward to this game at the first teaser, one of great game I patiently waited. Like the first game, part 2 has best gameplay and the graphic is really astounding. However it all means **** when you are force to like something you hate. I feel humiliated. I burned the dics not even interested in the ending. Wish I could get my money back.

    Poor writing and politics don't belong in video games. Druckman can hang his hat up on this one knowing he FUBAR'd this one.

    **** game. Plot is all ocer the place and characters dont act like they are suppose to act. Way too many subvert expectations moments during the game and also too many jump scares or close call situations.

    I can't describe how disappointed I am with this game. The sounds and visuals are great, but to me that's all secondary. I expected this game to be a perfect sequel of the first one, but the story failed big time and it was nothing but an extremely long and boring torture. I feel scammed.

Lo termine y considero que solo hasta la mitad vale la pena el resto es muy tedioso y difícil conectar con un personaje(Abby) que no tiene remordimientos o culpas en sus acciones es algo medio psicópata. No debió seguir ese camino en conclusión mediocre en cuanto a la historia y cuesta cree que se demoraron tanto, 7 años siendo que otros títulos logran hacer más con menos… Expand

    At first I thought it was the coolest game I'd ever played but then the story got worse and worse, and the ending was extremely bland, stupid and with a terrible aftertaste. Not buying the next Naughty Dog game, even if it looks good. 1 point for the extreme effort that went into the game. -10 for the story and the smug, elitist and pretentious stance some developers took.

    After playing the first installment I was thrilled. The story, the gameplay, the combat system had blended together to form an absolute masterpiece. Finishing that game was one of the best experiences I ever had. Needless to say, I was hyped for it's sequel. Waited years for it. Even protected myself from the leaks only to experience it in all its glory. Boy was I in for a shock. The gameAfter playing the first installment I was thrilled.

Needless to say, I was hyped for it's sequel. Waited years for it. Even protected myself from the leaks only to experience it in all its glory. Boy was I in for a shock. The game has an extremely repetitive combat system. To me its a downgrade from the previous game. The graphics were, well, the best I have ever seen. The story though, is what killed the game for me. I don't know if some of the plot decisions made were purely for shock value or if some other reasons were involved as well. But the story was horrible. The new characters were bland and uninteresting. The old ones were out of character. The plot twists did not make any sense. A mess of a story.
    If I could've rated below zero, I would've gladly done so. I wish some other game looked this good.    … Expand

    So, this is really a movie where you can push some buttons here and there.

    And what was really the point with all those cards and coins? Damn me for spending time on that.

    Make the next one an open world game, and let the players play the game.

    And lets stick to ONE main character in the next one, please.

    Ah, do as you please. i don't care!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As much as I wanted to love this game I just couldnt. My boyfriend loves the game but me not so much. The Tlou2 doesnt hold true to the main character: Joel. Yea he just saves this random girl from being clicker bait with Tommy and brought her back to her friends and gives out their names but he also knows how notorious he is when he’s done a lot of **** after the breakout. After being saved from the man who killed her father she needs to kill him. Understandable I suppose but thats not how you kill a main and beloved character and in the very beginning of the game. Later as we play as Abby she saves 2 kids because they saved her. Where was the same even slight compassion for Joel? The lies and false advertising is another thing apparently Joel was still supposed to be alive. All I’m saying is this story could’ve gone a different way if they didnt force feed Abby down our throats to make her like-able. I get her side of the story, yea she lost way more in a few days but it was still ultimately her fault. None of her friends would've been killed if she either killed all the people in Joels party(probably didnt want to end up like him) or tortured him for a few days and let him go cause he did save her. Maybe this story couldve been about getting revenge on Abby for torturing him or not. This story could’ve been better.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Technically is amazing with the gameplay, the graphics, music, etc. The problem in this game is the story it doesn’t has a good order of the events, it makes, they want so much that we like Abby so in some points it’s just frustrating and some key descicions like Joel’s dead and the end make the game change in a negative way. As said before if there was a good story telling those key descicions could be done, but in the way the are in the game is not done correctly.
    Overall a great game with a poor story, this game is not nearly as good as the first one.    … Expand

    Good game fantastic graphics, animation and lighting. The first half of the game is great part's of the second half are good and the ending was a little underwhelming. If you're a fan of the first one you probably already bought it but if you haven't I'd suggest to get it while it's on sale.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, where to begin? Well, lets start with the good.

    Graphics and sound desing is amazing, for a console. But we dont play games for their graphics now, do we? That would be like watching adult movies for plot. We all know we dont watch adult movies for plot.

    Gameplay seems to me mostly unchanged from first game, with few minor tweaks. Not necessarily good or bad things, its just how things are. In story driven game, its really not that important, unless its infuriating towards the user.

    What matters most in story driven game is story.

    And oh boi, here we go.

    Fact that they kill such major such as Joel for cheap drama, in such unsatysfying way, with that character acting way differently than in the last game, is your first indication for whats in store for you.
    Then we have Ellie. She cant forgive someone who makes her "bigot sandwiches", or those 100 henchmens which she kills on her quest for revenge, but she spares the one person responsible for all her pain. Bravo Niel.
    Abby is just... unlikable and hypocrite. Lets leave it at that.
    And entire message of the story just falls short. Revenge is bad? Abby got her revenge and even though she faced some hardships, she got away in the end AND killed person responsible for biggest emotional loss of her life. She won.
    Ellie? Ellie kills 100 henchmen on her way to Abby, yet when she finally is so close avenging Joel, she sudenlly thinks that "revenge bad". ffs.

    And then we have all the controversy around ratings on metacritic.
    People screamign that 0/10 ratings are not valid becasue people couldnt have played through entire story, yet people giving 10/10 ratings, those are totally valid and believable.
    Then we have metacritic deleting bad ratings, because they are given by bots, yet they leave 10/10 ratings which are copypasta of těo sentences saying "Amazing game. Another masterpiece from Naughty Dog."
    I bet you, go into 10/10 ratigns and browse for 10 minutes. You will find at least 50 of them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who studies literature and writes very often this game saddens me to an unmentionable extent. In stories weather it be books, movies, video games, or any format of entertainment, the thing that drives people to continue watching is the fulfillment of promises that are implied to the consumer. This game not only breaks the promises they make, but the plot is seriously inconsistent, forgetting about promises that have been made entirely; leaving the consumer with this feeling of emptiness. Not to mention, the character arcs are just piss poor writing basically being non-existent. Outside of the writing and story, the game follows has a very dated gameplay system and combat system. It feels primitive at times, even borderline inorganic. To me, this is unacceptable in a triple A studio with the amount of manpower that naughty dog has. The world is beautiful, and the graphics are incredible, but it's overshadowed by lazy story writing, and some message (that isn't even clear by the way) being crammed down your throat. I'm not talking about the LGBT stuff, I couldn't care less about that, there are plenty of fantastic television shows/movies/books that have awesome characters that are LGBT, the problem happens when you make a character LGBT for the SAKE of having an inclusive character. Smh, everyone can tell. You can try to ignore it, but it's like having a scratch you can't quite itch. Why? Because it's forced! If you have a screw, you're not going to pound it into a wall with a hammer, that doesn't make any sense. It's the same thing as characters in any form of entertainment. The characters MUST be consistent with the setting. Your characters are your driving force in whatever plot archetype you've decided to use. These characters also have archetypes that were inconsistent throughout the entire game. Joel's death makes no sense because he is not trusting of other people, as is demonstrated multiple times in the first game. That doesn't mean that trait can't change, but it was never even hinted towards that Joel has changed in such a way. The whole game gets my gears grinding. I'm also pissed off because of the good reviews the game has received. I don't get it. Genuinely. I'm also mad because metacritic blocked the negative reviews of this game for a time, I'm tired of censorship. So, my 0 comes from the terrible story writing in combination with how naughty dog responded to the negative player reviews. This is my personal protest.… 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]
