    This game is dishonest and it appears that the head writer is psychotic if he thinks this is a good story. I seriously question the mental health of the writer who thinks this even passes as a morality play. It is akin to a sociopath that pretends to know human motivation.

    The fact that they got rid of the competent female writer to have some egocentric lunatic write this ham-fisted, heavy-handed tripe shows that this so called woke take is cynical and was handled by a true toxic male. This is the toxic masculinity that they often trot out we should avoid. If you want to have fun when you play a game, avoid this. Outlast handled torture and strife better. Dying light has better monsters. They ignored the story of trying to actually deal with the plague for this claptrap. I give it a 2 because it looks impressive enough. The mechanics are bland and you have absolutely zero agency with the two players. Think about it, this male 'feminist' takes away the agency of the wronged woman protagonist. What was this game made for, other than some grotesque circle jerk with the writer and a mirror?
    Avoid the game and play something better.

    Seu predecessor foi algo tão grande... a ultima cena onde o Joel conta a mentira pra Ellie, tudo fica em segundo plano, inclusive a própria Ellie pois a menina dos olhos agora é a Abby, uma personagem que eles te forçam a jogar e meio que forçam a gostar dela, querendo te colocar no ponto de vista oposto, na minha opinião, a maior cagada.
    No primeiro jogo temos uma jornada de 2 personagens até o final, no segundo são inúmeros personagens entrando e saindo de cena, uma bagunça.
    Mataram o protagonista hétero branco malvado pra substituir pela mulher ultra empoderada bad ass tipo Thor e seu fiel escudeiro Atreus trans.
    E no final num tem vingança nenhuma, pois eles precisavam manter a dupla do próximo jogo.

    I'll definity place this game as one (if not the very ONE ) of the best gaming experience of this current generation. Story level went far and beyond the first installment, making this game just at a level on it's own. Thank you Naughty Dog for this mesmerizing experience!!
    It's difficult to imagine that another game can manage to equal this emotional tour de force!!

You're now unlimited in stealth kills, no need to collect knives. Almost all fights can be done in stealth with instant kills.

    But the worst is when creators forces you yo play as an anthagonist, who you basically intended to hate. Unfortunately, there's no way to continue progressing the story, after you let Abby die in different ways, but it stopped me from continue playing after some fun letting her die.

    This game should've could've would've been better. But they decided to make it the worst way ever. It sickens me to see or think about the plot, they got what they want. And definitely will be remembered for a long time in game history.

    They literally tried to sell the game on the name of the last of us. The story is so distant and the characters are not who they were in the first game. This feels more like an Uncharted game with a bad story and less puzzles.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game-play was average. The plot was terrible. More meaning and depth could have been given to Joel death. They were too quick to push the players to be emphatic with Abby. It is clear that the gaming company chose to pander to the religion of wokeness over writing a good story but looking at the reviews of critics it seems to have paid them off. No critic dare write an unfavourable review for this game fearing that they would be eaten alive and cancelled by the acolytes of the woke religion.… Expand

    About the story of the game, I think is gorgeous. It's not like your usual story about how you and your friends get to the goal without any consequences or collateral damage. We play the game as Ellie and Abby, two victims of the suffering for the lost of their parents.
    After finding out who killed their father, both of them go for revenge, without caring for the other ones who their acts will affect.
    In my opinion, the game is one of the best I played because the way it makes you connect with both characters. It tries to make you feel what Ellie and Abby feels so you, as a player, can put in their shoes for a while and know that in the game (and in life) there are no good and bad, it's all grey, middle point, depending wich point of view you want to see.

    이 게임은 디 오더 1886과 매우 유사합니다.
    그래픽은 매우 대단하지만 스토리는 한숨밖에 안나옵니다.
    전투 방식도 전작과 비교해서 크게 달라진게 없다는 점이 아쉽습니다.

    Terrible story. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. Not even able to force myself to play through it. Just sad about how such a good franchise was destroyed. Only giving it a one because the gameplay was okay if not dated.

    Even though I would not call the story "perfect" (in opposite to Part I) I think this is the greatest game I've ever played. In all technical aspects it's obvious. But the way TLoU2 provokes thought is unrivaled.

    If you are open-minded you will love this game.

    The game is very good. The technical component especially. The plot is as realistic and believable as possible. All because of the stupid bakers who **** up the game because they killed Joyle. For being a lesbian Ellie. For the **** plot. These people simply either did not play this game, or they have deviations in their heads. In common people "Trouble with the head"

    Foi bem tenso, a história, a gemeplay, conhecer todos os personagens e saber o que acontece com eles no decorrer do jogo. Foi um desafio desvendar as emoções enquanto jogava. O final, ainda mastigando e movendo o que foi achado. Ótimo jogo! Tem tanto a se falar dele ainda, em diversos e diversos aspectos.

    The game has more depth to it than a lot of people, myself included, thought it did. When I started playing I just kept comparing it to the first one, by the end of the game I'd come to realize that part 2 has the ability to stand out on it's own and can be a great game if we give it a chance. That being said it could have been a bit longer. And some aspects could've been blended together.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really can’t believe this was the story we got after 7 years. If you were comparing the two games, this one completely misses the mark story wise. Yes there were some great flashback moments at the museum but that’s where the good parts end.

    I feel they could have left Ellie and Joel’s story alone. There are tons of story arcs to explore. I had a more enjoyable time reading the notes from artifacts that I found.

    I would have preferred them make up characters and develop them rather than this half-baked story we got

    Ellie’s revenge story is so bad it’s comical.
    That’s it, she’s hell bent on revenge at any cost. No character development
    Plot holes
    Returning characters seem very out of character

    The game isn’t awful but it’s not great either, it’s just ok.    … Expand

    Sinceramente es un juego increíble. La gente simplemente lo critica porque no es como a ellos les hubiera gustado. A mi me parece un juego realista muy bien hecho.

    Es un gran juego con Miles de detalles en todos los aspectos, la historia se desarrolla diferente al uno porque las circunstancias son distintas. Llega a ser cansado de jugar por mucho tiempo y por ello no le doy el 10, pero es realmente muy bueno.

    I wish i had so much more to say here. This game is a 10/10 in nearly everything EXCEPT for the story. Which, in a game like this, is absolutely the most important thing you have to nail down. It's not necessarily what actually happens in the story, it's HOW it happens, and how many things they had to do to the characters and plot to make what they wanted to happen actually make sense.I wish i had so much more to say here.

If the same story had been structured in a much different way I think this game could reach the 9 and 10 that Naughty dog usually deserves, but unfortunately when you betray the characters we love by them acting in ways that go against who they are...you leave the door open for a story that cannot connect in the way it was envisioned for the audience. I came away wanting to love this and I truly enjoyed the game, but I was just so disappointed in the narrative.… 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]
