    This game was review bombed to hell and back for no good reason, despite the controversial plot this game should never get a 0 as it has many things working in its favor plus the story is really not that bad, the only reason people think it's bad was because of the mob hatred for this game caused by influences saying it was bad even though critics agree that this is a must play

    Simplesmente maravilhoso. Não consegui dar uma nota menor que 10 para essa maravilha de jogo. Comprei para o meu PS4 em dezembro de 2021 e adorei do começo ao fim. É aquele típico jogo que você não quer terminar. Tem que ser nota 10!!

    O jogo é sensacional. Gráficos perfeitos, história maravilhosa e envolvente que te deixa numa situação peculiar em que nos perguntamos quem é o verdadeiro vilão. Cenas marcantes e fortes! Merecido ganhar o GOTY!

    A morally difficult game, this game simply destroyed me, after the game I felt devastated. At some point, I forgot that I was playing a game, the characters of this game came to life for me. From a technical point of view, this game is perfect (Graphics and gameplay) the most detailed locations and a super beautiful post-apocalyptic world.

    I can't believe that this game was review bombed so heavily. While this game is not what most expected, myself included, the story, gameplay, and acting are fantastic. I needed to play it twice to process how I felt about the game. Give the game a chance and keep an open mind, because I feel that it is an incredible experience.

    I don’t have time to write a long review but I recently played through this game and I don’t think it deserved all the hate it got. Because while there is one big problem which is that killing hundreds of people and then not killing Abby at the end felt pretty dumb, the overall gameplay and other aspects of the story are really solid.

    The graphics of this game is awesome and the world is really well designed. I wish it was more open world where the player has some freedom in choosing where to explore. The story is interesting, but borders on being a movie more than a video game at times.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. cuando lo juegue en 2020 sentí que toda la gente se dejo influenciar por la muerte de Joel esperando a que fuera heroica, sin embargo ver una muerte así es algo diferente, muchos dicen que Joel no confiaba en nadie en el primero y se sintió que el juego estaba injustificado sin embargo en el primero confió en Henry y Sam, los gráficos son de 10, la jugabilidad esta divertida, si ves un espacio por donde es lógico que quepan las protagonistas lo harán. es casi perfecto a excepción de su duración, se siente alargado para durar mas.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So realistically I was going to give this a 9, since it's a REALLY good game, and I've only ever given a personal 10 to 3 games before as of this review, and that is Halo 3, The Last of us Part 1 and Ocarina Of Time. But thanks to the unfair level of fandoms crying over a character death their reviews have hurt the ACTUAL value this game gives. So this is probably more of a 9 if you wanted more of a realistic view, as the gameplay, graphics and narrative are something of a near perfect masterpiece crafted by a really dedicated team of some of the best the game industry has to offer, unfortunately it isn't a perfect masterpiece like the last 3 games I mentioned but it's only really down to the writing of one character at the end as a reasoning. Now if you're only here for the review stop here, but if you're curious as to the reasoning I'll detail it here: This is due to the writing of one of the important characters which is pretty much the ONLY gripe I had with the game was that at the last portion of the end where (SPOILER) Tommy decides he goes from a "don't get revenge and put your life at risk" at the beginning to a sudden "What are you doing Ellie you need to keep pursuing revenge for me after she let you go and told you the fight was over and spared your life you need to put your life at risk again!" which was a bit weird and unlike Tommy's character to demand this young girl go get herself killed or put her life at risk again and becoming this hateful old man, it could've been left out as she already wanted to pursue revenge. Other than that the narrative, the gameplay, graphics, and the writing of the rest of the characters was pristine. Highly Recommend this game and absolutely love the stuff Naughty Dog puts out.… Expand

    Fantastic game with great gameplay, pushing aggression and stealth and this aggression correlates with Ellie's story perfectly. The twists are done amazingly and you really feel for every character involved. I have never felt this much emotion playing a video game. A Masterpiece, all the hate is just people that wanted a safe and easy journey, that isnt the TLOU world.

    The Last Of Us Part II has a fatal flaw: It doesn't know its a video game. While seemingly telling a story about the circulation of violence, it doesn't reflect on the actual violence committed by the player. ND wants to be brave and challenge the players expectations with a duo-narrative but in the end it all falls because the game just tells us the way it is but doesn't show us.

    Don't trust the negative review bombing. This is by far the best narrative and story telling i have seen so far with insane level of details
    Playtime is ~30 hours and every scene you see or play clearly shows that a **** ton of work has gone into this game.
    The game has the best graphics you can get on a ps4 pro (which i played it on first) and even puts some ps5 exclusives to shame.    Don't trust the negative review bombing. This is by far the best narrative and story telling i have seen so far with insane level of details

    The game has the best graphics you can get on a ps4 pro (which i played it on first) and even puts some ps5 exclusives to shame. The improvements on the ps5 system are neglectable but nice to have (60fps or 4k and faster loading).

    I encountered no bugs, glitches or crashes in 2 playthroughs.

    Playing through the first the last of us is mandatory to get the most out of this story.
    The story needs you to be open minded and having empathy. If you cant deal with a story without plotarmor, this is not for you. Some people have really strong opinions about this one but i don't want to spoil you. Lets compare it to Game of Thrones: Some ppl are huge Oberyn Martell fans and cant deal with the fact that he got his head crushed by the mountain. A huge part of the negative reviews are because of that. These reviews are unjustified but i get that it sucks to loose a character in a show or game that you love.

    The gameplay is not complex at all and most of it is exploring or fighting. The animations here again are extraordinary. Over all you should not buy this game for its gameplay alone. If you seek for a skill challenge there are other games like dark souls, hollow night or whatever. Overall this is a point i can see why someone would reduce their final verdict on this game by some points. For me the gameplay fits its purpose well and exploring the last of us part 2 is fun and does not distract you from the story.

    The game is brutal in every way. The story is dark. The violence in this game is sometimes over the top but helps to deliver the dark times ppl go through in this game. If you cant stand aggression and violence in games/movies i dont recomment this game to you.

    Homophobic ppl seem to review bomb this game as well. Hard to explain without spoiling but this game does not force political statements. It just represents people of all kind and some homophobic idiots get triggered because of it. Its not even that big of a deal when you play through it.

    Overall if you seek for a story driven game in a violent postapocalyptic world the last of us part 1 and 2 is the best you can get.    … Expand

Some characters are very unlikable, but that's kinda the point..    Not as good as the first game, but still a great game..

The entire game feels like a social experiment that tries to gauge the player's capacity to view different perspectives.. It's very much on the nose, but it's an interesting enough idea that drives the gameplay forward fairly well.
    -The game is a bit on the long side, and isn't paced very well.. it almost overstayed its welcome... almost..

    This game is not the masterpiece “professional” game critics claim it is. It’s just a solid game. And as for some of the negative reviews claiming this game has woke messaging, I certainly didn’t notice any, and I’m as anti-woke as they come.. The only messaging this game has is in the themes I covered above..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of Us 2 gives me very conflicting feelings. The game is very flawed and messy. Whilst the graphics are some of the best I've ever seen in a next gen title and I love the gameplay, the narrative and characters are mixed. The main problem with the story is the pacing. It's so bad. Being required to play as Abby for 10 hours is absurd. Even worse, Abby's subplot isn't even relevant. This is why the message on trust is murky. Joel is killed off way too fast. Killing him off isn't bad in concept. It's the execution that completely failed. My question is; Why is Joel killed off before it's revealed that Joel killed Abby's Dad. This portrays Abby as unsympathetic and hard to feel bad for. Ellie is such a fantastic character. A sequel where Ellie is the main playable character frustrates me because I can see the masterpiece it was so destined to be. Ellie makes this game from a 6 to a 7. She's definitely one of the most tragic characters in gaming. The ending where she finds out she can't play her guitar Joel gave her because she lost fingers because revenge took over her. And this is the Last of Us 2 I wanted. A mostly flawless masterpiece with stunning graphics, smooth gameplay and likeable characters.… Expand

It made the 2nd half of the game extremely unenjoyable, all I did was rush through everything as fast as I humanly could on survivor. The game play is fun but simply copy and pasted from the first game. Honestly I do like the drama but nothing is added to this world, only one new infected and one unique zombie boss that honestly was one of the best parts of the game. It simply doesn’t feel like an apocalypse. Not saying it has to be like days gone hordes in it but like, not make the zombies in the backseat. The sex scene as well was simply unneeded, all it did was expose one person as a cheater and another as a emotionless **** who never can be redeemed. They try to show two sides of a story but end up making one side simply and utterly unlikable because they never learn their lesson. It was nice to see representation of LGBTQ+ in a game and not have it forced down the players throat and be sjw like, but one character not being transphobic doesn’t make them a good person, again, they never reflect on their choices and never gives the other side an apology or anything. I admittedly maybe I rate it a 4 because of the high expectations I had for this game, but that was because the 1st was the only game ever to actually make me feel attached to the point I cried. It is okay for the fact for certain people to die in this game died, but the manner of which they died, in a dramatic and cinematic game this is, it’s just wrong and a slap in our faces. I love ya naughty dog but please, please, PLEASE if there is a part 3, don’t hurt us like this again you still have solid building blocks these characters CAN BE REDEEMED AND LOVED AGAIN. I bought last of us 1 for both ps3 and 4 and bought last of us 2 the day it came out, but if the third feels like how 2 felt, I won’t buy it. To finish this off on a high note too all the actors and programmers of this game I cherish and love the effort and work put into this game, everything but the actual progression and how things were handled in the story were absolutely gorgeous, no one deserved any hate for who they portrayed, it seriously got me through this game and it was as perfect as the 1st. Neil if you see this please don’t leave this game ik what I say is maybe harsh, but you have what it takes, you made the first game, don’t let this game make you spiral. Your ideas for this game were good, like I said that alternate ending sounded amazing. Sincerely and with hard love, Mythicalbellyrubber (p.s. after writing this I did decide to go up to 5, 4 is too low of a rate and is not a under mediocre game)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After completing the Uncharted series I thought I couldn't love any other game series more than that, but playing through last of us remastered and last of us part 2 changed that (naughty dog once again did their magic)

    I know there is a lot of hate around this game, after finishing the game in one stretch I can't quite figure out why some people hate this game so much.

    SPOILERS AHEAD

    When I had to start playing as Abby halfway into the game, I wasn't really comfortable too, in fact, I hated the first few hours of it, didn't care about picking up supplies or artifacts, or didn't feel like upgrading Abby or anything. But by the end of playing as Abby, I was praying that don't make me kill Ellie as Abby or wise versa.

    I'm just so happy the game ended the way it did, I don't know how else it could have been better. This is definitely one of the best media entertainment experiences that I have ever had.

    Developers were quite successful at making the players feel all the emotions at each time, and I think they were so good at it that some people got too upset and unknowingly became true haters.

    yeah, I spelled it right, "TRUE HATERS", not the pumped-up ones, I'm sure a good chunk of the hate and negative reviews are fabricated. If you look at the percentage of people who achieved the trophy for completing the story "WHAT I HAD TO DO" is nearly half of the people who own the game. so I can be sure that a good amount of people became so uncomfortable at some peak points or got fed up with the hate campaigns or for some other reason stopped playing the game at some point and went straight up to be haters without knowing what the game has left to offer them.

    Anyway, I'd give a 100/10 review score if I could for this game.

    Looking forward to the HBO series which I think is also written by Neil Druckmann.    … Expand

It’s utterly disappointing that some people get angry enough because they don’t like the turn the story took (stories shouldn’t always be fluffy and happy… it’s tragic and would crushing for good reason). The Last of Us told a story about a man who made bad decisions across his entire life and up to the last moment made decisions that affected the greater good in a negative way. The Last of Us Part II eloquently, beautifully and tragically tells the story of the repercussions of those decisions and how it affects the actual wider world and people. For gamers who are angry because they’re unable to comprehend and cope with such rich storytelling, I say you probably shouldn’t watch some of the greatest movies of all time because they’ll be triggered by decisions made by the film makers there too. Get over yourselves and enjoy this absolute masterpiece.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game only gets 6/10 for some bad reasons. They have only 1 mode for the game, which is story. Unfortunately, this game has one of the worst stories that I have seen in a video game, where they kill off any potential. Joel dies, and they have an unnecessary sex scene in the game for no reason other than run time and "plot progression". The game play outside of the story is okay, but sometimes it feels like a walking simulator, but the guns feel good and the vibrations from the controller feel realistic when I do an action. The graphics are amazing for a PlayStation 4 game and it runs smoothly, which is already an edge over other certain games. If they had multiplayer on launch or in a day 1 patch the game would feel better, but the only thing on the multiplayer is rumors any it was a separate game and not part of the original. Overall, it killed itself at launch.… Expand

    但我无法理解过程

    看通关后会不会让我理解吧
    ————
    带着儿子陆陆续续的一直到今天（7月3日凌晨）才通关。
    通关后我仔细想了想，觉得还是保持这个分数吧。
    在我自己的分数判定中，已经很低了，况且客观来说，虽然游戏性一如既往，但画面，细节做得都很不错。
    但这个剧情与其说是屎，不如说我像是被迫。
    从乔尔死亡那一段我就不太懂创作者的意图，我明白像IGN日本说的，这种东西要放在开始才能升华感情。
    可是过程是不是过于残忍了？
    首先玩着艾比，突然杀死了一代我玩的主角？

    我第一感受就是有人拿枪指着我的头，给我一把刀，要我选择砍掉自己的右手或者左手。
    可我定睛一看，原来左手不是我的，是旁边的一个女人的手。
    哪怕之后我了解到了这个女人的故事，她的悲哀。
    这时，其实我只有两个选择：一，砍掉她的手。二，选择被枪杀死（封盘）。
    我再怎么样也不想砍掉陪我朝夕相处，有着共同美好回忆自己的手啊？！

    我想到了有人说一代如果拍成电影，不会是个好电影，因为剧情其实很俗套，但正是因为是游戏。所以乔尔艾莉陪伴在一起的点点滴滴我们在十几二十个小时能够感同身受。
    而二代在我看来，这个剧情不是个好游戏，但拍成电影也许会好很多。

    我在想，制作人是不是忘了他是在做一个游戏？他是不是忘了游戏与电影的区别？是不是在游戏电影化叙事大行其道的今天以为电影化了蒙太奇了就会是个好游戏？
    还是说，他就是想去拍电影？

    最后的结局，有点丑陋。
    在我理解中，如果我生长在那种时代，我的家人杀了别人，他的家人来复仇很正常。
    但要我理解你就抱歉了，况且还杀了我的家人和同伴。
    我不会和你徒手搏斗，只会用一颗子弹洗去我内心的仇恨。

    毕竟，“艾莉”、“乔尔”才是我。    … Expand

    In most arenas with opponents, the gameplay works something like this:
    you enter a vast location and start your journey in secret, after killing one of the victims you may be noticed, then an action scene will begin, usually in stealth action games this is where the end of the battle begins, due to a shortage of ammunition you will not be able to kill all opponents and you will have to hide. The game gives you smooth transitions between action and stealth that many stealth action games don't have.
    The plot of the game is powerful, I can say that I liked the story and I do not see any critical disadvantages in it that completely break the game.
    Technically, the game is made superbly on PS4, there are no FPS drops and in general everything is played comfortably.

    Эта игра была совершенно незаслуженно отменена.
    В TLOUII одни из лучших анимаций в индустрии, прекрасный дизайн уровней, интересный геймплей, не имеющий аналогов, это не просто стелс-экшен.
    На большинстве арен с противниками игровой процесс работает примерно так:
    вы входите в обширную локацию и начинаете свое путешествие тайком, после убийства одной из жертв вас могут заметить, далее начнется экшн сцена, обычно в стелс экшенах именно с этого и начинается конец боя, из-за нехватки боеприпасов вы не сможете убить всех противников и вам придется прятаться. Игра дает вам плавные переходы между экшном и стелсом, которых нет во многих стелс-играх.
    Сюжет у игры мощный, могу сказать, что сюжет мне понравился и я не вижу в нем каких-то критических минусов, которые полностью ломают игру.

    It is bizarre how a series goes from one the best games of all time to a sequel that is among the worst of all time. Awful writing. Violence for the sake of violence. Bad pacing. Repetitive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will say it right now, this is one of the best games ever made, and just as good as the first, if not better. I wholeheartedly hold that sentiment and always will

    The "Issues" people have mainly lie with Joel's death. I think it was an absolutely key thing for the story to do, and was done masterfully. Death does not have mercy in the real world. We don't get to choose when our loved ones die and how they do so. Joel's death came so abruptly and the sudden, unexpectedness of how he died honestly felt like the painful times I found out a loved one died.

    People will say "But he wasn't cautious enough! That's not the Joel we know!"
    4 years have passed. 4. We know from the previous game that while Joel may be cautious, he is emotionally prone to manipulation. He gets accustomed to something for a while, and it reflects on him. He didn't take too well on Ellie initially, and as he spent more time with her, she began to feel like a daughter to him. The Joel who left Boston would have NEVER rushed into that surgery room to save Ellie. Matter of fact, the Joel who left Boston was different by the end of the first game, because he had abandoned that whole idea of even returning to Boston. He gave up that life as a smuggler... to be with Ellie. The writing of the first game reinforces the idea that Joel. who spent 4 years in Jackson living a relatively safe, comfortable life, will let his guard down. We learn from writings in the second game that Jackson frequently has people passing through, and that too is another thing Joel would have let his guard down on. The majority of his interactions, if not all, with outsiders in Jackson were likely positive ones, and the one he had with Abby's group probably was not anything he had not been through. Knowing the area she was in and seeing how her leading them to their camp was in the interest of everyone, him trusting Abby isn't some forbidden thought out of this world.

    Another point of tension that the game actually did very well was the humanization of the other side. I hated Abby with a passion the moment that she killed Joel, but as Ellie and Dina started to get hurt in their pursuit for an illusion of justice, I started to doubt whether continuing the cycle of revenge would be worth it. Things didn't seem satisfactory when they began discovering the dead members of Abby's group, and when Ellie killed Owen and Mel, that feeling only grew stronger. By then, I started to view Ellie in a negative light. Shortly after, when Abby shot Tommy and Jesse, that feeling of revenge grew back again, but the story cuts us off. We see Abby's story with our own eyes. We see the pain Joel and Ellie have inflicted on others, and it breaks the idea of the main character being some hero incapable of doing any wrong. It does something unique; to show the other side of things. I felt the same pain for Abby looking at her dead dad as I did for Ellie looking at Joel.

    The writing, once again, is masterful and forces uncomfortable truths onto the player. I recently tried playing it again, and I can't bring myself to get through it. The game knows how to play with your emotions, and the change in those emotions is drastic. I feel scared, vulnerable, and emotionally conflicted. No game or movie has ever done that to me. I wanted revenge, but at what cost?

    The graphics are amazing and speak for themselves. The new engine is amazing and way ahead of its time. I love the little details like the intro, where Jesse finds out Ellie kissed Dina, and you can see Jesse's silhouette behind the curtain after the door is slammed on him, or during the Museum flashback, where Ellie's space helmet fogs up while she's talking. Best part? It's all rendered in real-time, which only lends a greater feeling of awe and immersion when you seamlessly move from cinematic to gameplay. Speaking about the gameplay, it is one of the best out there. UI is crisp, doesn't try too hard, doesn't try too little. Mechanics aren't complicated and keep you in touch with the story while feeling like you're contributing. The mini-puzzles to get from one place to another are fun, while the attention to detail in voluntary exploration add a whole other level of emotional investment into the environment. Gunplay is dramatic, versatile, and awe-grasping. Everything feels high-stakes and cinematic.

    Those hating on this game largely seem to be denialists who are mad Joel died. The game to them is supposed to be some hero simulator where Ellie and Joel go save the world or something. I'm glad the writing moved the plot in an amazing way, told a meaningful story about revenge and life, and manipulated your raw emotions to the point where you feel like you're in the characters' shoes. Such an amazing experience I am thankful to have been able to enjoy, and am fully satisfied with where the series ended as a story. I will most certainly be enjoying the PS5 remaster for the first game when it comes out!    … Expand
