    Looks very nice, that's about it. But who cares about graphics. Graphics have been oke since 2005 so I don't really care.

    I do care about gameplay and story. They suck balls. Gameplay is the same as the first game.
    We don't have to argue about story, everybody knows it's bad.

    Incredible game, graphics are insane, mocap and voice acting is top tier the gameplay is as smooth as butter, and the story is incredibly written and is an emotional roller coaster.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. gráficos incríveis, cenários impressionantes, mas uma história sem pé nem cabeça, personagens que não cativam e um vilão que a produtora tentou nos fazer aceitar, e uma escolha infeliz de matar um personagem importante para construir uma narrativa sem fundamento, não, infelizmente não são só gráficos que contribuem para que o jogo mereça uma avaliação de alto nível.… Expand

    The weak plot. I expected more. Its price is $ 15. The first part is much more interesting. And Yes, I don't care about the LGBT story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this game was downright brilliant, and I don’t understand why people would give it a 1/10, or a 0/10 Even if they didn’t like the story. *spoilers*

    First of all, the graphics are by FAR the best graphics we’ve had in a game so far, and there is so much attention to detail hidden within it (blood stays on your foot and you see blood in snow from where you step, wind movements, tree leaves following you as you walk through them). The graphics, and attention to detail alone makes it at least a 4/10 for me. Second of all, the story. The story shows struggles of grief, consequences on ones own actions, and the building of guilt that leaves the player with those same feelings. I was in shock after Joel’s death. I was angry, and thought “wait, that doesn’t make sense, Joel would never do anything to get himself into that type of situation” but after following the story some more, and ACTUALLY thinking about it, it makes perfect sense. Through Joel’s whole life post-breakout he’s been surviving, struggling with his own depression, and killing anyone he had to. But after he got to Jackson, he was only ever around people he loved. His brother, Ellie, Maria, etc,. He was comfortable, and that made him soft. And, may I say, of COURSE he would die in a humiliating, and gruesome fashion!! He killed Abbys father, the ONE man in the world who could have created a vaccine, for the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!! And you guys are crying because “oh Joel didn’t deserve such a mean sad death :((( 1/10” god damn, YES HE DID!! And, to the last thing that people are “upset” about. The ending. Ellie finally catches up to Abby, and has a chance to kill her, but doesn’t. Why? Two reasons (in my opinion)

    Abby and Lev are parallel to Ellie and Joel in the first game. They travel alone, trying to get to safety, taking care of each other, while slowly learning to like each other, and keep each other safe. Hell, at the end, Abby is carrying Lev the EXACT same way Joel was carrying Ellie out of the hospital. I think Ellie knew that if she killed Abby there, then this would just be a cycle that never ends. Revenge, and murder. She kills Abby, Lev kills Ellie, etc,.
    And also: Because she knew it wouldn’t make anything better. Never for a moment did Ellie get a chance to actually mourn Joel. Right after Joel died, she immediately was en route to Seattle, fighting through hordes of enemies, hunting people down, dealing with another loss, and then going right into raising a child. Ellie thought at the beginning, “I’m gonna find and kill ever last one of them”, but after killing a few all she started thinking afterwards was “I just have to kill Abby, then I’ll go”. She had such a gruesome amount of guilt after every single kill that she just wanted to get it over with. So, at the end, when she was drowning Abby, she realized that she wasn’t feeling better, she still felt that guilt, and pain. Then she thought of her and Joel’s last conversation. The conversation of forgiveness. (Why did she have this flash back? Was she thinking of what Abby and Levs last conversation was like? Or was she trying to pick up on her and Joel’s last thought, which was, learning to forgive. Maybe both?) After this flashback, she lets Abby go, trying to forgive. Maybe not so much Abby, but more so herself. That’s something I’m still interpreting myself.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the gameplay and the score and other aspects of the game. The most polarising part was the plot. I wish Joel’s death was handled better but I guess I am fine with it. But I loved Ellie’s revenge quest. Also, I loved Abby’s parts and I eventually began to like her. Their stories are very similar and you can see the parallels between them in the end. I hope we see more of Abby and Lev.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Primeiro jogo da naughty dog que merece um ZEROO!!!! E é por causa da história porca e mal contada! O roteirista! Como fica os jogadores que "mataram" o médico no final do primeiro jogo dando um tiro no pé em? Como fica? Nem era pra morrer né, NENHUM inimigo do primeiro jogo morre assim. Como fica aqueles jogadores que atiraram sem ter na intenção de matar aquele médico? E mesmo assim ele desmonta e morre todo estranho? Da próxima vez que for vomitar uma história, aprende a fazer vilão direito, caso você sinta vontade de fazer as pessoas ' entenderem o lado dele". Tome como exemplo o Darth Vader... O povo curte ele.. não odeiam como odeiam a Abby... (E olha que o Anakin MATA CRIANCINHAS!!!!Sem contar a propaganda enganosa do jogo mostrando o Joel naquela cena, onde na verdade é o Jesse que aparece.
    Tem jogo que transmite alegria.
    Tem jogo que transmite adrenalina , empolgação.
    The last of us parte 2 só transmite ódio mesmo.
    Quando o Joel morre, eu senti vontade de sair correndo já pro final do jogo... E quando finalmente chega.. voces me pedem pra jogar 15 horas com a Abby, pra entender o lado dela? Fiquei agoniado querendo chegar logo no confronto das duas.. e qndo chega, sou OBRIGADO a continuar jogando com a Abby, mesmo depois dela ter matado o Tommy? Que absurdo. Que palhaçada! Que ódio senti jogando com essa vilã sem coração.
    Depois do confronto DECEPCIONANTE, vocês de propósito dão a entender que ali seria o fim? Deu ódio de novo. Tanto ódio que se tivesse acabado ali.. nunca mais compraria jogo algum dessa empresa!
    Não me importei nenhum pouco com o conteúdo LGBT retratado.. não tenho nenhuma crítica..
    A única crítica mesmo é a história horrível e mal contada.

    Como ver o lado da Abby? Como sentir pena dela? O que ela perdeu na vida? O pai? Ver o Joel perdendo a FILHAA deu muuuito mais dó, do que ver a Abby chorando. Chega nem perto!
    Ela perdeu o ex namorado? BEM FEITO porque ela chifrou a amiga!... E só.. o resto dos "amigos" dela, são no MÁXIMO colegas distantes, já que vocês não tiveram capacidade de mostrar o quão importante aquelas pessoas eram pra Abby... Atropelaram a história, ao invés de contar direito os fatos.. e fazendo isso, não deu tempo de sentir pena da Abby, que brutalmente ASSASSINOU covardemente o Joel no mesmo dia que o Joel salvou a vida dela.
    Essa história é uma sobrevivência, que mostra o quão injusto é esse mundo... Da próxima vez que forem alterar o sentido de uma franquia. Por favor avisem antes, pq assim eu não compro esse lixo..

    É o mesmo que pegar uncharted 5 e fazer um avulso arrancar o joelho do Nate, bater com um taco de golfe na cabeça dele até grudar uns pedaço do cérebro, e depois o jogador jogar 15 horas com o assassino do Nate, pra entender o lado dele, e no combate final a gente continuar usando o assassino do Nate pra arrebentar com o Sully... Essa é a história do The last of us parte 2 convertida no universo Uncharted... É isso... Porcaria, se pudesse eu devolvia e pegava meu dinheiro de volta.. jogo com história mais lixo que existe, pra quem detesta injustiça. PASSE LONGE DESSE JOGO QUE SÓ TE DEIXA COM ÓDIO!    … Expand

    This is a very different game to The Last of Us. Where the first one was very tightly focused on two characters, this one is much broader with a lot more moving parts. It subverts a lot of video game tropes and it really does force you to confront the actions of the main character. It starts out with a fairly straightforward revenge premise and ends up going in all kinds of directionsThis is a very different game to The Last of Us. Where the first one was very tightly focused on two characters, this one is much broader with a lot more moving parts. It subverts a lot of video game tropes and it really does force you to confront the actions of the main character. It starts out with a fairly straightforward revenge premise and ends up going in all kinds of directions before returning to it with radically changed characters. It's a long and exhausting journey, and so very worth it if you leave your assumptions at the door.

    It's not a game for everyone - as the reviews seem to show - but if you enjoy emotional and moral challenges and don't see everything in black and white, then I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

    The graphics and gameplay are both improved over the original, with some truly spectacular visuals and very involving set-pieces.

    It does suffer from some of the same issues the first one had, however. A few fights (especially with the infected) rely a bit too much on getting lucky or trial-and-erroring your way through the environment, and there is one boss fight which can be frustrating until you find the right place to fight it. There are also one or two flashback sections which might have been worked better at different points in the overall narrative, but given how ambitious the storytelling is, I can forgive this.

    If you loved the first one and can go into the second with an equally open mind, then you'll love this. Just be prepared to be made uncomfortable by some parts of the game - they do pay off but you're going to come out of this game with very different emotions than you did with the first one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is good, similar to the first game, simple but effective.

    What it lacks is the story.
    Bad pacing, new characters shoved in and not developed enough to have the players feel emotionally attached and constant gameplay padding. Abby in particular, If she would have been introduced more slowly, building her towards her killing Joel, with the player having to do the job after you have played with her for enough time to start appreciate the character, it would have been much better.

    Instead we have a messy start that sets her as a villain while spending the rest of the game using cheap methods to try and make you like her. Meanwhile dehumanizing Ellie. In the end you don't feel anything for either one of them.

    Another glaring weak point is the longevity, the game could have lasted half the 30 hours it lasts and it would have been better, too much gameplay padding in a game that doesn't shine for combat mechanics.    … Expand

    1) Very weak plot
    2) Mediocre combat system
    3) EXTREME propaganda of hatred towards traditional values.
    4) Authors don't like traditional families.
    5) Much weaker than the first part.

    but this garbage of a sequel? Jesus. They didn't even take account the experience of the characters in the 1st game. Minor spoiler:
    Joel spent 20 years in that Apocalypse and its pretty much all thrown to pieces
    The story writing is horrible. Ellie didn't kill abby because of her she wants to retain her little bit of humanity in? bullsh!t why did she kill strangers who are unrelated to abby then and felt nothing about it but when they confront she suddenly changed her mind? "oh its because ellie saw that child and she got reminded of joel" that's pretty much **** **** m8. abby didn't even know that child and she killed her former friends in the WFL to save that girl who she had no remorse in killing in. there are lots i can point out but jesus chirs,t neil **** 7 years of writing for this? why didn't you re-hire bruce straley so he guide your stupid decisions making this game.    … 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.
