    Probably my new favourite game of all time! Simply amazing! Flawless! Mature story which forces you through a maelstrom of emotions and hard hitting events. A story that only the emotionally mature will fully apprecaite, and will butthurt rage kiddies.

    One of the greatest video games I've ever played. A cinematic masterpiece with a thrilling, heart-wrenching story.

    Graphics are awesome but as a narrative game it failed in everyway and gameplay wlkese all characters feel the same and plays the same as the first one, except 1 or 2 new gimmiks... It feels like a gamble the devs took and they lost.

    A maior e mais impactante experiência que alguém pode ter com um video-game, tanto a narrativa, quanto a mecânica são impecáveis, uma experiência única para qualquer jogador com o mínimo de moral, inteligência e discernimento para saber diferenciar o real do ficcional e ter empatia como ser humano.

    I've gone through quite a few hundred games over the last decade and a half and i can say this wholeheartedly, the greatest masterpiece to ever graze a console. It's a shame the gaming community cant acknowledge the greatness of it due to unfounded butthurtedness. Play it, enjoy it, remember it.

    I hope one day ill be able to play this with my future kids.

    Probably the best game ever. I'm 31 years old and I have played many games in my life, and for 11 years I have not been so passionate about a videogame. Thank you, ND.

    I just feel the way Ellie went. I would go the same way even if it's bad. One thing I didn't like was that you need to play Abby too often. But expect this it's one of the best games I ever watched.

    Very weak gameplay, cliche and uninteresting. Story is good howeve there are better stories in movies and you just lose 2 hours of life. Don’t recommend it.

    The story is bad and lazy writing. They also lied with the trailer preview to bait us buying the game. So dissapointed in gaming developers this days.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was absolutely disappointed to see how Naughty Dog and Sony traded quality story writing to shoehorn a leftist agenda. Firstly, my biggest issue is with the killing of Joel Miller, the protagonist in the main game. By killing him so quickly and so early in the game, it seems that everything he's done in the first game was for nothing and that his sacrifice for Ellie and her potentially life saving immunity was for nothing. Naughty Dog clearly went for shock value over what could have been a better ending for Joel. Gamers have seen games where their favorite protagonist or mentor has died yet no other game has had such a backlash to the writers/company from their fans like this game. What made it more insulting is that we were forced to play as Abby, a woman who has the body of a man and was written to fit a more feminist audience. Oh and before I get called misogynist/sexist/etc. I had no problem with Ellie and Riley's relationship in the previous game as well as the possibility of Bill being gay. My issue is that the writers focused more on virtue signalling and shoving their politics down our throats in this game. In terms of Ellie's story arc, it doesn't make sense how she could kill hundreds and even brutally murder people like Nora and Jordan and take pleasure in doing so, yet hesitate when she finally finds Abby (the one who orchestrated this Joel's death and leader of the WLF/former Fireflies who helped find/kill Joel.) Jesse's story wasn't flushed out and neither were the Wolves/Scars. They were just place holders to add action and fill in spots during Ellie/Abby's story. Yara's story basically was only to bolster and add background to Lilly's. The whole Scars vs. Wolves drama was just a generic faction vs faction story to introduce characters but were simply scrapped once the story finally got rolling. Abby's body is definitely not realistic (and I use that term loosely since it is a video game - but not a video game where there's super powers/supernatural powers). Yeah there's a gym and the WLF has a garden/well stocked food supply but literally NO OTHER woman in that game was as buff as Abby. Even in the scene where her and Owen did it, her pecs were bigger and more manlier than the guy she was sleeping with. During the entire game, the writers tried to make us gamers and fans try to sympathize by killing Abby's friends/crew but with each subsequent killing, we felt happier, not sadder. They make Micah Bell from Red Dead Redemption 2 seem more likable. The Rattlers appearing as the final and surprise faction in the last part of the game also felt like more filler. There were barely and interactions with them in terms of story (other than the beginning) and they had no major role other than to be some rogue group that is hostile for no reason as compared to the military vibe from the WLF, the cult vibe from the Scars and the seemingly good guy vibe from the Fireflies. To add insult to injury, when the leaks came out, ND and Sony blatantly abused the copyright system on Youtube, Twitter, etc. for people who simply talked about the game (even if they did not reveal any audio/visual/pictures from the company through a shady 3rd party company (Muso). They tried to silence and dissent and even punish/block people who gave negative reviews as well as ignored criticisms/negative comments on the game, yet have the guts to only screenshot the hostile comments without showcasing the legitimate criticisms from the community. It doesn't take too much to see how this turned out. Just check out the Last of Us 2 reddit page. See how it was so supportive and interested in the game and then once the leaks came out, see how they reacted and treat the game today. Neil Druckmann and Anita Sarkessian have no one to blame but themselves for trying to force a terribly written story with a far leftist/feminist agenda onto the fans who were loyal to the company and series. It just doesn't make sense how ND had so many awards and accolades backed by their amazing list of games that are usually well written and have high scores yet this game is significantly lower than their average score for other games they've put out. However, in terms of gameplay, there are a lot of improvements to the fluidity of the game as well as creativity as compared to the last game yet the gameplay was generic in terms of pattern (explore, loot, some dialogue/notes/artifacts to collect, fight/sneak past infected/people, repeat.) They didn't even include a multiplayer feature which arguably kept their first game alive and relevant years after it released just to focus on a poorly written game with a generic gameplay formula that rivals that of Call of Duty's same old formulas. The only good parts were the improved game mechanics, beautiful graphics and some nice features such as playing the guitar during your downtime. Overall the story was bad, gameplay generic (only better when compared to the old game) and politics ruined this game.… Expand

    Average gameplay but the story is horendous. They ruined Joel's character, Ellie's actions are meaningless and overall the world feels empty. Kill 200 people including a pregnant woman to reach Abby only to let her go. Sure, who cares about all the other people eh?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me and my partner have just finished TLOU2 what a game! It was a roller coaster of emotions all the way through. The soundtrack is epic the way the game looks is truly beautiful and the story was intense, we loved it more than the first one to us this felt more real and at times we loved and hated both characters for wh,at they did, at one point we even discussed if Joel was the villain! . Seriously though what a game and experience however we decided on 9/10 because at some bits we felt grabbing resources out of drawers and off the sides was a little to much this time around and slightly took away from the flow of things, for us anways, but it more than made up for it in other areas.… Expand

Desde mi punto de vista logra transmitir un mensaje importante haciendo uso no solo de la narrativa, sino también de diversos elementos semióticos y un uso excelente de planos para dar simbolismo a cada situación del juego, haciendo que simpatices con ambos personajes y veas el por qué de sus acciones. El juego no te pide que ames a los personajes, solo te quiere mostrar las consecuencias que traen consigo las acciones que llevan a cabo, las razones, estén justificadas o no te llevan a pensar y reflexionar en el mundo que rodea a los personajes, mostrándote que en cada cosa mala hay algo bueno y en cada cosa buena hay algo malo.… Expand

    This game is just a masterpiece. The attention to detail is unreal. The hate this game gets is not deserved at all in my opinion. Loved the game, the creators of this game are genius...

    The Last Of Us games are the only games I´ve ever played that made me feel so many emotions during the gameplay. It´s amazing, give it a chance.

    First let me just say, hats off to ND for the incredible graphics. The graphics of this game is one of a kind. Gameplay wise I think it was above average. Nothing too different from the first one.

    But the story was a failure to me. I know ND tried something different with the story but it just didn't click with me. At some point I just wanted the game to be over because I grew tired.

    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]
