    Game tecnicamente absurdo, gráficos e jogabilidade, mutos bons.
    Um roteiro que coloca o jogador em diferentes pontos de vista, achei genial.
    Queria muito ver uma DLC mostrando o lado e a jornada do Tommy, mas acho que não acontecerá.
    Enfim, mais um masterpiece na Naughty Dog, NOTA 10.

    Great game, truly underrated. I can not understand all the hate for this game and a lot of terrible reasoning, why the game is bad. It’s not perfect but no game is perfect. It tells the story well and the gameplay is great too for the type of game it is. I understand people giving this game a 5/10 but seriously a 0/10? I feel aside the story some may feel was wrongly told and paced.Great game, truly underrated. I can not understand all the hate for this game and a lot of terrible reasoning, why the game is bad.

    I loved every second of it. This game made me feel a plethora of emotions which I still think about and analyze. This is what I need from modern gaming. I feel bad for people who genuinely did not enjoy the game, but I am sure many simply decided they would not like it no matter what and thus ruined the entire experience and meaning of the game for themselves (which is a huge shame). 10/10I loved every second of it.

    The only good things in this sequel are the music, enviroment and graphics. Forget about a good story, poorly executed characters, horrible ending and no sense whatsoever.

Encounters are filled with dozens of enemies spanning across entire streets of buildings, lining rooftops, searching rooms. Avoiding detection isn’t impossible but certainly difficult, and once you’re spotted the game turns into a desperate game of wits and survival, where you’re forced to make the saving shot, saving dodge, saving throw with an inch of health or one bullet left.... over and over and over again. This is one of the only games I’ve played where my character’s exhaustion mirrored my own. The fights are long, difficult, stressful, and mentally taxing. It’s the best depiction I’ve ever seen of one person fighting insurmountable odds in a video game, ever. The story is beyond incredible as well, provided you have the emotional maturity for it. Characters you love and connect to will die in brutal, unfair ways completely out of your control. Characters will make decisions you wish they wouldn’t, and consequences for previous actions, whether they were justified or not, inevitably make their ways to the characters with zero remorse. It’s a hard thing to watch, but the story is one that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Overall, the complaints I have are minute compared to the praises. There are certain plot points that feel rushed, or things that could have been explained more fully. But they won’t hinder the absolute **** 20+ hour experience that is The Last of Us 2. There is nothing like this game and I doubt there ever will be again. Don’t let the haters ruin this for you, try it out yourself!… Expand

    I look forward to this game at the first teaser, one of great game I patiently waited. Like the first game, part 2 has best gameplay and the graphic is really astounding. However it all means **** when you are force to like something you hate. I feel humiliated. I burned the dics not even interested in the ending. Wish I could get my money back.

    Great game. Graphics, atmosphere, part processing - everything is fine
    Only one problem - very incomprehensible plot. you do not have time to think about what happened, and something else is happening. Many plot holes.
    At some point I thought: Why do you need it? Why go there? In general, what the f*ck?
    This absurdity of some events is very confusing and discourages the desire to play on

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some positives but the game was rarely enjoyable - And not for the reason being publicised (joels death).

    In of itself killing off the previous games main character isn't the worst decision in the world. However, the story line and forced nature of the plot when it comes to 'educating' the audience on the rights & wrongs of revenge, and the morality behind why we should be inclusive borders on ridiculous / boring.

    A character from the 1st game (tommy) had a ton of potential to be further explored, but was rarely seen. When he was on screen tended to be portrayed as wrong in any given circumstance, and generally unimportant - The same could be said for new character jesse, who it also seemed had a ton of potential but was miss-used.

    The introduction of Abby as a playable character is an interesting concept, but in execution was awful (imho). It killed the narrative structure (both times) JUST as I thought the story might be recapturing the intensity and emotion of the 1st game. The voice actor did a decent job but her characters dialogue & attitude did nothing to make me warm to her.

    When it comes to gameplay the introduction of being able to crawl helps to improve stealth mechanics, as does the ability to jump for escaping certain situations. Other than this the gameplay felt identical to the 1st game - my one sore spot when it came to the last of us 1, as it is far too 'clunky' specifically when shooting & swapping weapons etc.

    The selection of weapons on offer, as well as the shooting mechanic itself is extremely lackluster. Ammo is scarce to the point you are lucky if you have enough to win a skirmish without running laps around the map to regain a stealthy position - Its then Rinse and repeat with another 4-6 bullets.

    Stealth kills are enjoyable and gritty as ever, on both the living and the dead, which brings me to my next point.

    The most enjoyable fight was playing as abby in the hospital when you are confronted with a ridiculous bloater in an enclosed, but free flowing underground space - MORE OF THIS IS NEEDED. All in all there were some okay gameplay, and fantastic graphical improvements compared to the last of us 1, but when it comes to the general storyline and narrative choices i fail to think of a bigger disappointment.

    Sometimes good, but never great - 4/10. In case I'm being overly critical here are some ratings I'd give other games:

    The last of us 1 - 9/10
    Days gone - 7.5/10
    Rdr2 - 9.5/10
    Gta 5 - 8.5 /10
    Horizon zero dawn - 8/10
    Dying light - 7 /10

No matter if you liked the story or not, the technical aspects (graphics, visuals and animations) are mind-blowing, the atmosphere is amazing (some parts of the game are outright terrifying), the environments feel as real as technology enables, the gameplay is fun and intense and i don't think theres much to say about Gustavo Santaolalla's fantastic soundtrack.

    One can argue about taste, but to call this well-crafted piece of entertainment garbage or rating it anywhere below 4 or 5 just boggles my mind, especially considering how modern mainstream gaming is overshadowed by big companies producing stale and repetitive games over and over again and just changing the name tag (miraculously getting better user ratings than this).

    All things aside, the story is extremely dark, violent and ruthless and i deeply admire Naughty Dog for taking a rather unconventional path. It just seems as if most people were upset about the first 5 hours and didn't even try to experience the game with an open mind, let alone try to take a somewhat objective stance on what the developers were trying to convey. People who dismiss the game as just another dull revenge story seemed to miss that it's much more than that. The story deals with guilt, regret and forgiveness, and more often than not kept me thinking about certain values in life. The game does a great job on making you feel that sweet pain, slowly burning and getting more intense up until the point the credits roll around 35 hours later (on hard difficulty - highly recommended). It really feels like a maturation process for Ellie.

    The game has an unusual tension arc and often relies on flashbacks (probably the best scenes of the game), but as the story goes on, you will really appreciate what the game is trying to make you feel, considering you want to feel it. It also does a great job on expanding the TLOU-universe and creating some interesting new perspectives. In my opinion, the characters motives are reasonable and the legacy of the first game is carried on with dignity. I love games that stick to me even after the credits roll and TLOU 2 did just that. I just needed to get that off my chest after seeing how divided the reactions were. I'm glad to call it one of my favorite games on PS4, right behind the remastered version of the first game.    … Expand

Extended length made the mechanics feel tired and too repetitive by the end, and lack of integrated multiplayer is another major missed step (I definitely won't be paying for a stand alone). Graphics are great, but not enough to save the game and it's poorly written story and characters. Why was there so much ammo in every drawer, but so limited space in the massive rucksack!? Never felt pressured to use ammo sparingly like in the first game, and couldnt shake off the feeling that the game was doing all it could to make me dislike Ellie (which I couldn't) and like Abbey (which I couldn't). The more they tried, the less I did. An insult to the intelligence of the customer. Disappointing to see Naughty Dog use the vile abuse from a minority to distract from the fact that the game is a major let down to the loyal fan base of the original. Instead of admitting "We made mistakes", siege mentality very much instilled. And as for industry "professional" critic reviews, very much to be taken with a bowl of salt. I think it's a mixture of getting caught up in the hype, being scared to lose early access, but user reviews are generally more reliable anyway.… Expand

    However for me this game is an extraordinary follow up to the original. It takes the fundamental question that the original left you wrestling with - the morality of Joel’s decision and actions to save Ellie at the cost of so many others - and let’s the player unpack it alongside Ellie across a tumultuous revenge tale. It’s thematically consistent with the original but looks at the same themes through the lens of new characters that will shock when they’re introduced by warm your heart - if your open to them - by the end. It is in effect anti-fan service, and given that I do understand why so many who love the first game might have trouble stomaching this one. Games are subjective, and this game takes some very deliberate risks that are certain to put off some people.

    Apart from the narrative, this game has gifted us with one of the most amazing survival horror/stealth action gameplay sandboxes of all time. I was not a particular fan of the gameplay in the first game, but this game truly took all of the potential of the first one and maximized it in ways that kept me glued to the screen my entire play through.

    This game uses its gameplay to service the story and themes in ways I’ve not sure I’ve seen before on this scale. It will always be divisive, but it will always go down for me is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
