    TLOUS 2 é um jogo que te envolve do início ao fim. Com muita coragem, a Naughty Dog produziu uma narrativa surpreendente. Para mim, a duração do jogo é exatamente a necessária para explicar os motivos que desencadearam as atitudes dos personagens no desenrolar do jogo.
    Sem dúvida, o melhor jogo da geração.
    Parabéns, Naughty Dog!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account just to to rate this one game. This is my first and last rating for a game in a website because I don't usually do this ****
    The good:
    The reason for three star for this so called masterpiece is 1) the game had absolutely **** gorgeous graphics in terms of attention to detail, scenery and also the gore 2) I really enjoyed the gameplay mechanics of the game even though after few hours into the game it gets **** boring. 3) This game made me appreciate and treasure the first game even more.
    (This next part is for all those who played the first game and is looking forward to playing this sequel)
    THE BAD:
    Whatever criticism I am gonna give this game is fully based on how **** of a storytelling the game had. I repeat I. Dont. Give. **** About. How. Characters. Look. Or. What. Gender. They. Are. I don't care about these type of things when I am playing a story driven game.
    For all those who enjoyed the first game because the ending of the game left it up to you decide whether what Joel did was right or wrong. For those who thought what Joel did was right this game shows the biggest middle finger to all you people as the whole purpose of this sequel was to manipulate you into thinking you are a horrible person for supporting and relating to Joel. The game shows you not only how he got killed but also forces you to play as the killer for the second half of the game and tries to make sure you sympathize with her and makes you believe that Joel was a **** person and deserve to die but never expands on why he was **** person besides the fact he killed a person to save person whom he sees as a daughter. The killer, Abby is so poorly written that she is willing to go full on pyschopath on Joel because he killed her dad ( because he was trying to save Ellie but **** you for supporting that **** even though he saved Abby just minutes ago but proceeds to kill people from her own group just to save two kids who were in fact from the enemy faction just because they rescued her a few days earlier. Abby proceeds to kill a pregnant character but only stops because one of the kids tells her not to. The true psychopath in this game is Abby and the second game is made just to make sure you should sympathize with this pyschopath and if you don't you don't support women empowerment. This games makes you kill people for the sake of the story then tells you are a piece of **** for doing it. It tries to be complex and rich but ended up being stupid and manipulative towards a certain character. I am fine with Joel dying for the story but they could have done so much more. Like actually spend some time in the flashbacks and show us what type of **** person he was but no, they choose to flashbacks where he was trying to have a father and daughter bonding with Ellie. They went to the extreme extend to show you how good of person Joel was and then tells you that you are a piece of **** for agreeing with Joel when he tried to save someone he loves. The story would have been way better if they just revealed Joel's death at the end when Abby and Ellie meet in the theater. They could have started of showing Ellie was hunting for a person in Seattle because they killed somebody she loved because at this point we still be thinking it was Dina (personally Dina served no purpose whatsoever in the Seattle). At this we could have keep switching between Ellie and Abby as both them continued what they were doing with their lives in the three days in Seattle. We could have seen how Abby reacted with her friends and the next scene we will play as Ellie killing off those friends. And when they finally meet at the theater, it's only then we find out it was actually Joel who got killed and not Dina. This would have been a twist worth playing for. We could have cut off so much of unnecessary time and boring fetch quests and the game wouldn't have been this bloated and dragging. As person with **** internet connection, I play mostly single player games because for the sake of the story. The first game made me think for myself on what is right and what is wrong and what is the fine line in between. This sequel exist to manipulate and forces you to agree with what it thinks is right and wrong. The characters should work around the story but sadly this story made to suit, glorify and sympathize with only one character. The worst part of this game is the fact that I can't even remember whether Joel knew why he died. I don't remember Abby telling him that he killed her father. I don't even think Elie knows why Abby killed Joel. (Please do correct me if I am wrong on this) I am only writing this review because this game broke me mentally and I needed a place to talk about this cuz none of my group of people are heavily invested in videogames especially single player.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is definitely one of the best games ever made.
    The story is very different from the first ones, but that's not a bad thing.
    This was one om the most moving and depressing stories.
    But in a very good way.
    I feel the story dragged just a little bit, when playing as Abby.
    But nowhere near enough to be a real problem.
    They did things in this game, I have never seen before in my gaming career, and made me feel things that a game has never made me feel before.
    I don't know yet if I liked this better than the first one, as the first game still has a very special place in my heart, but this is a worthy sequel.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not just "review bombing". The game has serious narrative and pacing problems. Druckman took a huge swing with this game, and while I admire the tenacity, I really just don't think it worked. Having to play the second half of the game as a character you've been made to hate, while already knowing exactly what happens, I found to be extremely arduous. One can't ignore the masterful graphics, sound design, and even gameplay mechanics, but the story is a huge stinker that almost seems spiteful towards the user. TLOU 1 had a perfect bittersweet ending... But this ending is all bitter with no sweet to the point where the entire journey just feels pointless and hopeless. For the average player, I'd reccomend passing.. Play Uncharted 4 or TLOU 1 instead, because ND just didnt live up to the hype with this one, sadly.… Expand

    It can be frustrating, it can be sad, it can be difficult to understand why the decisions were taken during the game but then, you
    realize that the game is not about heroes vs villains and more about surviving in a **** world.

    It is really a complexity game that brings a lot of human emotions in his/her blood and it is, in fact, a game that will not be unanimous for everyone that follows the whole saga. It is not only about revenge but also about redemption and consequences and, thinking about that,
    I never saw a game that could bring all these kind of emotions in that way. I hope that the next-gen games could bring more of that.

    What I suggest is, play this game with open expectations, fell each emotion of the game and avoid following any kind of reviews that you saw because
    you can only have your own conclusions when you are playing the game for your own. Or even better, look for reviews after you finish the game, then you will see different perspectives and compare for what you felt.

    These kinds of things that make The Last of Us Part 2 a masterpiece and a revolutionary game for the industry.

    Como jogo, ele é incrível. A gameplay traz algumas poucas novidades mas é mais bem fluida que no primeiro jogo, gráficos de cair o queixo, posso dizer que tem os melhores gráficos da geração com tranquilidade, a violência gráfica é impressionante, e a campanha possui muitas setpieces dignas de Uncharted (arrisco dizer que tem setpieces melhores que Uncharted 4). O nível de desafio é razoável, contendo alguns momentos bem tensos, mas no geral ele é mais fácil que o primeiro TLoU. O jogo possui mapas mais amplos e vc pode não ver alguns trechos de história se não vasculhar tudo. Existem cenários alternativos com itens e colecionáveis (alguns casos tem história também) mas não é um mundo aberto.

    Único ponto negativo em relação a gameplay é a lista de troféus. Faltou ter troféus de dificuldade pra um desafio maior pra platina. Praticamente todos os troféus são sobre coleta de itens e colecionáveis. Ele é muito mais fácil de Platinar que o primeiro game.Também senti falta de um Multiplayer

    Quanto a história, tenho um sentimento ambíguo sobre ela. A premissa é boa, o argumento pra iniciar a jornada da Ellie é inquestionável e condizente com a personagem, assim como a motivação da Abby também é plausível e bem amarrada com o primeiro jogo. Mas a execução dessa premissa é cheia de altos e baixos e conveniências de roteiro. Existem sim pontos altos na história, momentos que me deixaram tenso, chocado, alegre e melancólico. Só que entre esses momentos há uma narrativa Ok, nada do nível do jogo de 2013. Não é ruim, nem terrível, mas também não é espetacular e nem tão incrível assim como alguns críticos disseram, apesar de ter momentos estrondosos. Ainda estou refletindo sobre o final (finalizei o game há algumas horas atrás) mas não achei ruim.... ele é um tanto reflexivo e triste, mas eu compreendo quem não curtiu. O final te traz um vazio gigantesco, mas acho que é essa a mensagem que o jogo quer passar.
    Não é um final polêmico, é ambíguo e de certa forma revoltante pois dá a sensação de que a jornada foi em vão. É natural que hajam opiniões dissonantes entre os fãs sobre a história e acho que a Naughty Dog já esperava isso.

    Minha nota não é 10/10 pois a história do primeiro jogo é muito melhor. Parte 2 se sobressai na Gameplay    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a console gamer all my life. And when I play any game, my mom doesn't care what is on the TV. Then I played The Last of Us. Funny thing happened, my mom, after watching the intro (which was THE BEST INTRO EVER) stuck around the TV. And I noticed that everytime I play it, she sat down and watched. She was interested! For the first time ever! I was so happy that we connected on a video game even just once. It was special. When the credits rolled, She was asking is there a part 2? I said "maybe". The look on her face, I will never forget. Then TLOU2 was announced! Told my mom and she said "wow. I wanna see it!". My mom died 2019. So devastating.

    Picked up TLOU2 on release day after avoiding all the spoilers. Bittersweet since I can't show her anymore. But I was looking forward to playing it. Revisiting my memory of my mom while playing. Maybe imagining she was still watching with me. She was excited for it after all.

    Then the first hours of the game happened, doesn't make sense. Then the game ended with Ellie losing everything. . My mom loved these characeters.They were disrespected, and now half of the game I play as the person that destroyed the one video game my mom and I got connected to?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of Us was an acknowledged and overt homage to the work of Cormac McCarthy. It was groundbreaking in the video game world, there was nothing like it in so many ways. Since it's release it solidified itself as one of the best pieces of post-apocalyptic/zombie entertainment, game play was overshadowed by character development, story, and immersion. And it remains in my top 3 games all time. The followup was plagued by externalities, including leaks, assumptions, and bigotry, and the mixed bag of reviews is indicative of that. However, not every negative review should be attributed to bias. There is a lot to hate in this game for some players, and in that way, this game is more similar to a Cormac McCarthy novel than the original. This is not a game you play for fun, I certainly didn't have much "fun," but I was absolutely entertained. It is gritty and uncomfortable, the characters make decisions you wouldn't because they have lived lives that you haven't. Real life doesn't have nice wrapped up endings and clearly defined protagonists, who all make the most reasonable decisions, and antagonists, who act as they do without reason. This is a complex tail that mirrors the random nature of the real world. We lost characters we cherished, both by death and fundamental loss of their character to revenge, rage, and ptsd. If the future of storytelling entertainment is in games, LOU2 took a massive step towards that future. I loved the story, but I also hated many of the decisions made in it. My opinions and feelings towards the main characters changed through the story, and I don't know where they stand now that it has ended. This was an emotionally draining experience, which is a complexity I am happy to see so well done in this medium.
    As far as the game play goes, I enjoyed it substantially more than the first. I argue that this is the best game play of any Naughty Dog production. The style of play feels noticeably different between characters. Stealth is achieved expertly, and gunfights balance between realistic and enjoyable. Where this game has fewer overt puzzles than the first, combat itself feels more like a puzzle here. Combat increases difficulty well, and doesn't have massive jumps in difficulty that the first did. Also, the loads after deaths are the fastest I have ever experienced, there is almost no wait. Overall, I am very happy with this game, and I think it did the original justice. I understand why others didn't feel the same, playing was sometimes a struggle because of how uncomfortable it made me, but it was a huge step forward for what games will be in the future, and I loved the experience.    … Expand

    The game is good the story is not for everybody.

    How do you top one of the best games of all time? By making it bigger, badder and more focused. The Last of Us Part 2 is unsettling at times, but that gives its story and theme more impact. This is a grown-up experience through and through and a fine example of gaming as art.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is truly misunderstood. Joel’s death makes sense, it’s justified by your action in the first game let alone what we don’t see before we meet Ellie. Tess explains that they are **** people”. Joel knew that his actions would catch up to him eventually but it is all worth it if he gets more time with his new “daughter”. The things Ellie does in this game aren’t justified because of what Abby did to Joel and Ellie coming to that realization at the end of the game is the best thing that could happen for her. By the end she finally has closure which is what she was the looking for during the whole game. And by leaving the guitar behind I believe this symbolizes Ellie forgiving Joel and moving on. Say what you want about the narrative of this game but the storytelling is next level. The visuals are incredible and so is the sound design. This is the pinnacle of game design. “Don’t ruin this gift” With your petty remarks about where Naughty dog decided to go with the narrative of this masterpiece. I am truly amazed by this game. Love it for what it is not what you expected. Fan service isn’t always a good thing. Naughty Dog took a big step here and I believe it payed off.… Expand

All the new gameplay mechanics, beautiful environments and crafting items are very top tier. But the story was so poorly executed and that's when it fell short for me. You play Ellie for revenge on the death of Joel yet never get that satisfaction and you lose everything in the end what a joke. Players should have been able to choose to kill Abby or not. Something Ghost Of Tsushima really did well near the end of the story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “If I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself”

    The Last of us Part 2 hurt to play. I often found myself yelling at Ellie through the screen begging her not to carry out her revenge driven plan over and over again. The direction Naughty Dog took with the game wasn’t at all where I wanted them to go with it. I hated how depressing the game was and how sad it made me. But, the fact that this video game made me feel so strongly is a testament to how good the game is.

    As a Character Study, TLOU2 is absolutely fantastic in that it shows the detailed progression of Ellie’s descent into madness. The circumstances Ellie faces constantly make her ask herself just how much she’s willing to lose to seek revenge on Abby and gain closure over Joel’s death. Her answer? Everything. And we see this at the end of the game: by the time she realized how pointless the cycle of violence was, she’d already lost her friends, her lover, her family, and even the last physical connection she had to Joel. But by ending the cycle of violence and ultimately forgiving Abby, Joel, and herself, she’s able to finally start her life. I loved how the game didn’t just discard the events of the first TLOU and was willing to flesh out and deal with untied knots from the first game, and although the end result was gut wrenchingly painful to bear witness to, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful by the games finish.

    I felt as though Abby’s section of the game was fantastically done as well. I won’t get into this part too much, but Naughty Dog’s ability to introduce and make you care for these intricate, fleshed out characters in a short amount of time is really incredible.

    However, this game isn’t without fault. One of my biggest issues with this game was probably the huge disconnect is has from the first game. I’m glad ND took a different path with this game and didn’t just decide to make TLOU2 the same thing as TLOU1. However, so much has changed between the first game and this one, and I feel like what would’ve serviced the game more is if they had replaced some of the “point a to point b” gameplay sequences with a couple more fleshed out cut scenes detailing how Ellie and Joel’s relationship has progressed. I feel as though that would help bridge the gap of the 2 games and also help make the gameplay seem less dragged out (seriously, a lot of the times the game took so many unnecessary detours that were obviously for lengthening purposes, it was really annoying.

    Another thing that brought TLOU2 down was advertising. Now I’m happy with the end result of the game, BUT... it was basically advertised as another buddy adventure with Ellie and Joel where there would be a lot of time spent with him, and that’s just not the case. I can understand why people dislike this game as much as they do just due to the fact that they were basically convinced by adverts that they would be getting a different game than the one they ultimately received.

    Overall, a really great game with a couple of noticeable flaws. Not for everyone, but I really appreciated this game for what it was.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After completing the game twice and getting 100% on it I feel that I have enough of an understanding of it to write down my opinions!
    This game is polarizing to say the least. Let’s start with talking about the elephant in the room, the story and the characters. In my opinion this story was GREAT. It made me feel so many emotions that I have a hard time to even comprehend. In my opinion the story was crafted so finely that the emotions you feel so closely corresponds with the characters that you are interacting with that it almost feels like you are there and experiencing the loss and despair.

    *SPOILERS*
    When Joel got killed in front of me I felt a hole in my heart that I didn’t know how to fill again, if this isn’t great storytelling I don’t know what is. To be able to make the players feel this connected to these characters is a feat of its own.
    Through the whole journey this made me feel a connection with a main character that I have never felt before, I was just as angry and lost as Ellie through this emotional horror story. The part of the story that I had a hard time with was some parts of Abby’s storyline. My only gripe with it though is that it was too long. That said I like the direction Naughty Dog went with it though. Starting Abby’s side of the story when you still hate her and want nothing else than to finish her off to growing to sympathise with her by the end of her storyline. I never liked her, but you don’t have too and I think that’s the point. She, just as Joel and Ellie isn’t perfect. They all screw up, get people close to them killed and does anything and everything to succeed in their own crusades.

    Let’s talk about the gameplay.
    This game, more than the first one, has really nailed what the gameplay should be in this world. Searching for ammo feels rewarding and makes the world more real when you have to scavenge around the whole map to find useful items. The fact that you can go in and out of stealth also really sells the probability of the world more, as being caught by an enemy no longer feels like you messed up the section but instead you just have to adapt your approach and adjust on your feet when something goes wrong!
    The gameplay also makes a great addition to the story, matching the gameplay to the two different characters which also helps to sell the world.

    I’m not saying the game doesn’t have flaws, because it does. It’s not air-tight but god damn it’s good. Like they could have been more clear with how overwhelming the horde of infected where to further sell why Joel and Tommy would follow Abby in the first place. Mostly to show people that this is still the hardened and careful Joel that we knew from the first game. This will, after the smoke of war has settled, be considered a masterpiece and will definitely be remembered as great game. I remember when the first game came out how many people (including myself) right after finishing the story also where pretty mad at it for robbing the player of what felt as the goal of the game. But after thinking about it and playing it again, I was in love with it and I think a lot of people would feel the same way about this game if they gave it a chance with an open mind!

    Thank you Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is more than just a game, it is a test of humility for a person. The people who hated the game are those who are not humble, while those who love are. The reason for this is that they didn't want to understand the most important part of the story, the part that, if you didn't understand it, you wouldn't have the wonderful experience of The Last of Us II.

The game's script is wonderful; if you are a philosophical person, you can easily understand the messages of the game and how well it is written. The turn of the story is surprising, it is very heavy and sad where you start to cry. In short, Naughty Dog made one of the best games in the world.

    They are savage, irrational, cruel and vengeful.
    You want sugar coated stories, full of cliches, happy endings, etc ?
    There is plenty out there to satisfy you.
    The characters in this game are well defined, and whether you like them or not, it's beside the point.
    The game play it's awesome. Enemy AI is among the best I've seen and you can adjust the Difficulty
    to a degree that is way beyond you find in any game these days.
    Combat is hard and that's the way it should be. You're not happy ? Go play Ghosts Of Tsushima which has the dumbest AI you can find.
    The atmosphere and immersion are also top notch.
    There is no filler stuff here, if you want that, again, go play Ghosts Of Tsushima.
    Graphics and visuals are up there with the best. Even better than Days Gone.

I cann't remember the game, which I played without rest 15 hours. I really liked this story and graphics in this game. I met a few gameplay bugs and too strange AI which can see through the walls. I loved oldschool style of game without any help and markers on screen. This game not leading player like a mother teaching her little baby walk and this is very cool. I don't like LGBT, but Ellie and Dina were not annoying with this like I thought before. Abby - which was hated by players is second protagonist of game had a good motivation for doing what she is done. I lked her story even more than Ellie's part. I'm glad, that story was completely ended without something like TO BE CONTINUED, but I'm left excited what happened to Abby. I hope Naughty Dog will make more cool games with a good stories like The Last of Us 2 on next generation of PlayStation. Playing as Abby sometimes I thought, that I'm playing for Chris Redfield's girlfriend from Resident Evil, specially Boss Fight with Rat King.

Ya'll wrong, the reason why I really hate the game is because of how they deliver the story and how they force you to like a specific character that should've not been there in the first place. For those who played and loved the first one will get my point. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN JOEL AND ELLIE!

    Clearly ND and Neil Druckmann is forcing the game to transition the characters so they could imply their beliefs about feminism and other "woke" stuff. We all know it and we all have seen it. I so **** love the first game that I cannot help myself but to feel bitter and hate about this one. There are so many ways to narrate and deliver the story. And no, i don't have issues about Joel's death I just hope they should've delivered it in a much much better way. I ain't no professional. I am just expressing my opinion as a gamer.

    I rate 2/10 just because of the insande graphics. story-wise? **** trash.

    Gameplay is vastly improved, not by changing the core game loop, but rather by greatly improving the level design. Levels are much more expansive, offer many more options than the mostly single corridor type arenas of the first game. Dodge, prone and jump mechanics are small additions, but they are enough to help keep the gameplay fresh. Dogs are a great addition as enemies, they help keep the combat and stealth way more dynamic, forcing you to keep moving and make quick decisions on the spot. Exploration also benefits from the expanded level design, not only there are many more places to explore, it is also very rewarding to do so, as you can find many pieces of lore that give context to the destroyed world of Seattle and the conflict between WLF and the Seraphites. I suggest anyone who doesnt mind a challenge to play this game on Survivor difficulty, lack of resources and the competence of the AI -which any difficulty lower than this doesnt do justice- takes you from Rambo killing machine, to someone who is barely scraping by, gives the player a WAY better experience.

    Story. To give context, I went into this game completely blind, I was not going to spoil a game for myself that I waited 7 years for. Without spoiling things, there are some BOLD decisions made in this game, whether you like the decisions that were made, is up to you. They worked for me, which is why I absolutely loved this games story. It challenges the way you perceive characters by giving you different perspectives. Characters are more humanlike than in any other game. They have great chemistry between them and the dialogue is top notch. Theymake mistakes, they let their emotions get in the way of making the most logical decisions, you will not always agree with them, but it is hard not to empathize with them. Claims of plot holes are mostly false, either due to people not having played the game at all, or not paying attention to in-game dialogue (which is where half the storytelling if not more happens).

    My only criticism would be that the game is a bit too long. Took me exactly 27h:30m to finish this game, and the pacing is not going to be liked by everyone, especially if you are not curious about the other side of the story. Some chapters are unnecessarily long, scraping by heaps of enemies, going through tough levels, only to see that your destination is still so far away is exhausting. Cutting some sections of gameplay would have been very beneficial to the game.

    I encourage anyone who owns a PS4 to go and try this game for themselves, at least when its on sale. Play the first if you havent already and play the second and decide for yourself.    … Expand

    Had potential, had hype. Blew it by shoving a pretentious story full of plotholes down my throat. The graphics are nice and so is the gameplay though, so I guess it's good for some mindless fun.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Initially I was very much against a sequel to TLOU. The first game's ending left me feeling hollow and thinking about it for weeks but it was an almost perfect ending. It hit all the right emotional notes due to character growth throughout and it was far more powerful to let the audience imagine the rest of Ellie and Joel's lives and how they might turn out with the unspoken secret hanging over their relationship.

    Then I got on the hype train. When this game launched, I saw the backlash but I put it wrongly down to transphobia. Then I played the first half of the game and thought "this is decent" and thought that the bad reviewers were insane. Sure the mechanics are basically the same as TLOU1 and the AI was dumber than a bucket of rocks but I was enjoying it. I actually thought that the Joel incident worked very well and, while the gameplay wasn't amazingly inspired, the graphics and motion capture was top notch. However, then I got to the second half with Abby. Oh boy, what a bloated, tedious mess.

    I got the feeling that the developers considered whether they wanted to make a new game with a new protagonist or a game which followed Ellie from TLOU and couldn't decide so they shoved both games together and, by doing so, succeeded at neither.

    At about 40% of the way through the game you are suddenly shoved into playing as Abby (similar to the Raiden bait and switch in MGS2 and received about as well) but the problem is that Abby is not at all interesting and it makes the next 55% of the game an utter slog. Abby interacts with characters you don't care about, advances an almost utterly irrelevant plot and almost all of it could have been cut out of the game and the plot would have been a lot tighter. The point the game is seemingly trying to make is that Abby is a human too but that's already blatantly obvious and any subtlety goes out of the window with the game repeatedly hitting you over the head with it. Yes, revenge is bad, we get it.

    It's like if TLOU1 had switched from Joel's perspective in the midst of the denouement and then insisted that you played as Marlene doing unrelated things for 15 hours. It would have utterly destroyed the pacing and ruined the ending; that is what happens here.

    The ending also renders the entire plot pointless and was immersion breakingly contrary to the character's previously established motivations and characterisation. That said, because of the pacing issues I was just glad that I had slogged through to the end. There was no real emotional pay-off. When your main emotion is "phew, glad I finished that" then you know the plot has failed.

    The game succeeds on graphics and game mechanics but utterly drops the ball in relation to story and character arcs. For what is, above all else, a story-driven game a bad story and forgettable ending is a cardinal sin and one which can't be excused. Contrasted to the ending of TLOU, I wish they had never made a sequel as it retrospectively makes the ending of TLOU worse.    … Expand

El final no era tan predecible como algunos otros sucesos pero eso lo hace diferente y al ser diferente no es el típico juego donde ya te puedes esperar muchas cosas en la historia.

Lo jugué con la idea de lo malo que es en "historia" según los comentarios de las personas, pero al jugarlo sentí varias emociónes primero venganza, tristeza, odio y arrepentimiento, al ver por todo lo que paso ABBY con LEB fue algo similar a lo que hizo JOEL con ELLIE salvarlo y que esa persona saque lo más humano de uno porque ya lo había perdido todo, si jugaron al primer juego sabrán de lo que habló. El final sentí empatía con los personajes y no quería que muriera ABBY ni ELLIE quería que pararán de pelear (ya ambos personajes perdieron muchos Seres queridos) y lo que hizo ELLIE fue crecer como persona y mirar hacia delante dejando de lado la venganza gracias a la última vez que habló con JOEL ese recuerdo fue el detonante para parar de una vez todo.

I love the fact that player can now do prone movement, and beautiful graphics on top of that. But, the story sucks alright.

    The story seems to be written by an SJW extremist with short rainbow colored hair. I hate the fact that they killed Joel (favorite character) for nothing, literally FOR NOTHING. I would have understand if Joel died defending Ellie or Tommy or some meaningful **** And the fact that the game forces you to play as Abby THE KILLER OF JOEL are utterly disgusting. And when you tried to kill Ellie playing as Abby? I'm not gonna try to finish it at that point, I'm done there. Hey Naughtydog, if you guys read this, I don't give a **** about Abby and her friends or what they have been through.

    I JUST WANT TO PLAY AS JOEL OR ELLIE KILLING EVERYONE WHO CROSSED THEM AND THAT'S IT. Also, DIna is such a pain in the ass hoe and should've died instead of Jesse.    … Expand

    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.
