    While i truly think TLOU 2 deserves an 8/10 i'm trying to help all the review bombing. This game isn't perfect like most Naughty Dog games but its still an enjoyable experience and i think anyone who liked the first game would enjoy this one.

    An astonishing achievement. The best kind of a sequel, where the story in the original game has now been enhanced and expanded upon in surprising ways. Shocking, wonderful and often startlingly brutal. PS4 has its greatest title.

    Melhor narrativa, os gráficos são impressionantes para a atual geração, o jogo além de ser extremamente completo ele também toca o coração do jogador, não é um simples jogo sobre um personagem, é um jogo sobre vidas, eu estou apaixonado

    There is no other game like this at the moment. All the reviews that were based on a couple of leaks have no real weight in the context of rating this game's incredible technical achievements. Game design, level design, graphics, storytelling, characters and gameplay are unique and beautifully done.

    It's dark, heavy and emotional. It's a game that takes a lot of chances and hits in every way. The story is masterfully put together and entwines with the gameplay in a way that has you feeling all the emotions Naughty Dog wants you to feel. You will hate characters, love characters, then be forced to second guess your views on them, as well as the actions you've performed in the game. You will kill enemies out of necessity, then come to the realisation that you're killing somebody's loved one. This game does not care how you want things to go and it will drag you through this experience and it will do it violently.
    The violence in this game is brutal, but it's relevant and meaningful; it's not gore porn. Ellie is relentless, the world she is in and the enemies she's up against are relentless.
    This intensity adds to the already intense gameplay, you never feel like you're safe and you always feel like you just can't catch a breathe.
    I could go on and on about how amazing this work of art is; from the sound design, to the writing, to the acting, graphics, animations... I'll stop there.
    Quite easily one of the most intense, harrowing, emotionally draining experiences I've ever had in media, let alone video games. A masterpiece.    … Expand

    I like it. Does it honour the memory of the dirt game no. But it’s a great standalone. You’ll only really find bad writing here and there but the overall experience is great. The game succeeded as ND got you to feel emotion and the ones they wanted like anger hate and grief with occasional love and happiness. This game had the potential to be a lot and I mean A LOT better but it just wasn’t.

    I had loved the first one - This one goes beyond. It's visceral and you're gonna be tapped to your sofa for the 25-20h needed to compleet the story.
    The best PS4 game made ever (and I'm a fan of TW3 which is completely different by the way). I really don't understand at all the bad critics from users, the story is jsut insane and most of all the way they make you live it is just mindblazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game expands on gameplay in a great way, adding a lot of new and interesting elements. Because you play as two different people, the contrast in play style between the characters is a nice touch. The graphics are outstanding, as are the physics and sound design, resulting in a very realistic feeling world.

    The story - Many reviews on here whine about being forced to play as Joel’s killer, stating “how are we supposed to feel sympathy for her” when she killed such a beloved character. They also state “this is nothing like the original story, no character depth, game of thrones, violence, etc”. Did they even play the same game, or were they just blinded by their nostalgia and put Joel’s character on a pedestal? Joel was not a good person at the end of The Last of Us. He did many **** up things, including murdering a doctor unnecessarily (which I remember being a big talking point when the game was first released, as it forces the player to do it despite many feeling it was wrong) and stops potentially the only possible cure from being developed. The point of that ending was that no matter how good Joel was to Ellie, he wasn’t exactly a “good” person in a lot of ways, no one is in the game. TLOU2 story was the most natural continuation of the story. Joel’s actions caught up to him, he traded his life for Ellie’s. You can be angry that they forced you to play as Abby, you can even choose to still dislike Abby after everything they show you about her, but you should at least be able to understand her. Abby is the monster in Ellie’s story, but Joel was the monster in Abby’s, and that is the point of this whole game. They force you to learn about Abby, about her life and her friends, just as they did for Ellie, to show that they were no different. They were human, not monsters, with their own lives and flaws that were occurring indiscriminate of each other. The parallel between Ellie and Abby is significant and understanding it is what’s most important for this game’s narrative. “But Abby was brutal and despicable, she beat Joel to death” yeah and Ellie tortured and beat Norah to death for Abby’s location. No one is a good person, but because players have put Joel on such a pedestal in their mind, they refuse to accept that he could possibly die in such a way. I don’t think anyone has to like all of the choices made, but to say this wasn’t a well told, character driven and developed story is ridiculous. It was expertly told and beautifully directed, and not one person can convince me otherwise.    … Expand

I literally need to take a break from my PS for like 3 days to process all my emotions. I have never play a game that made me feel like this before. As much as I want a revenge, at the end I don’t even want to kill Abby anymore, their obsession has literally cause them everything it was hard to watch. It can drained you psychologically.

My heart cries to see so many low marks and an average score of users standing at 4.6 ... be ashamed. That few open minds that are still there in 2020 for certain things. Rating 100. Play it, don't listen to this shower of low grades. Thanks.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, after finishing this MASTERPIECE, yes I said MASTERPIECE, i've to say that is one of the best games ive ever played.
    Graphics 10/10, The game experience has improved a lot.
    Ive enjoyed the history so much, in my opinion everything is correct, the LGBT "inclusion" or the Ellie and Diba's romance doesn't disturbe our adventure through this game.
    I can understand people who hated the game cause the early death of our beloved Joel, and also can understand the bad opinions to Abby. I hated too Abby when she killed Joel but, I saw her like a nasty assassin, but when I played hours with her on the flashbacks, I started to enjoy Abby. She really have a very good history, I like her relation with Owen and the journey with Lev (I loved this boy). It's difficult to love Abby, but I lied if I say she is a bad character or she destroy the history, because that's false.
    The final with Ellie and Abby in that dark beach is awesome, very hard, plenty of emotions. I that point of the history, the revenge has already not sense, so i liked they stop to fight (but to be honest I prefered to kill Abby, Ellie is my Ellie).
    The final with Ellie in the farm is strange, she lost everything she had and wanted cause de revenge. The last image, Ellie leaving the Joel's guitar make us a little confused, but I think is something that we can suppose or try to imagine...
    The best way to discover this adventure is playing, not believing the false reviews of people who are scared of play with an homosexual girl as main character or play with a strong woman.
    For me is an incredible game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I get the hate. I do. I hated playing a lot of it. I hated the choices made, I hated some of the characters, and at times it was hard to watch. But that was it's strenght too. Never have I clutched my controller as hard as this, never have I sobbed over a character dying like i did with this one, never have i been on the edge of my seat quite like this.

    Halfway through the game, when the switch is made, I wanted to throw her off a cliff. My friends and I joked how I just let myself get shot over and over and I was genuinely upset. How could they? I understood Abby's reasons but her method was just too much. They went too far and how was I ever going to sympathise with her. She went from being a hollow enemy to a character with depth, that even after finishing the game leaves me wondering what's next for her.

    I wasn't sure who to root for, i wasn't sure of anything.

    I think if a game can make a lot of people hate this strongly, you have to also see that it means that it's strong enough to cause such extreme emotions. This was a ride, and I'm sure i'll be thinking about it for a long while.    … 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.
