    **** of a game. Story is amazing, gameplay is amazing. Don't even need to say something 'bout graphics right?
    I would gladly buy it at full price even 25 years from now.

    Adorei a representatividade no jogo, a diversidade racial, de gênero, a quebra de padrões.

A história tinha tudo pra ser incrível, porém a vontade de "chocar" os gamers acabou ficando fora de controle, nos entregando um jogo simplesmente péssimo em muitos aspectos, principalmente na história. Única coisa boa nesse jogo é a trilha sonora de resto me decepcionou e muito.… Expand

    When I was 4, I grew up playing whatever video games I could get my hands on. I’ve become a fan of several amazing, immersive single player games like PS4 Spiderman, Uncharted Series and Crash Bandicoot. A newly released single player game called The Last of US Part 2, a sequel to the Last of US created and directed by Neil Druckmann, was a very anticipated game of the year for gamers. Before I get into it, a major leak about the game was exposed that fans were upset about. Many were quite eerie on buying the game because of this, but I decided to pre-order the game anyways because I was excited for it. In the end, once I had finished the game, I came to the conclusion that this game was Beautifully Flawed! However, I wasn’t alone.

    After a few weeks following its release, The Last of US Part 2 has seen a spectacular amount of reviews with thousands -- if not millions -- of polarizing standpoints. According to Metacritic, a forum of reviews similar to rotten tomatoes but mainly for video games, revealed that The Last of US 2 (for short) had over 100,000 reviews which is insane for one video game with people either really -- and I mean really -- hating or loving the game .

    The game has been polarizing due to Joel’s death because of the type of sendoff he got. To summarize, Joel and his brother Tommy find a girl named Abby and all three were being overrun by infected in a snowy hideout in the mountains. During their escape, Tommy decides to reveal their names to Abby. Eventually they make it out and the brothers meet Abby’s group. Suddenly, Abby shoots Joel with a shot gun, while others in the group severely injure Tommy. Joel is then beaten to death with a golf club by Abby with Ellie, her father figure, watches hopelessly. Many fans were angry that they saw Joel coldly killed off with no honorable or awesome death. This polarizing moment initially led fans to hate the game and even give one the idea to Cut the Disk in Half with Scissors (YouTube: Skippa). I was fine, but very distraught when that happened.

    Another sorrowful moment is portrayed through the games parallel of characters when it brings you to a shocking climax that players can’t do anything about. Halfway through the game, the player is brought to a very big and sorrow climax where one of Ellie’s best friends dies by the enemy her group was trying to hunt and kill. When I least expected it, Neil Druckmann made a bold move and decided to switch the point of view of the supposed antagonist Abby and you play her the same amount of time as you do Ellie. When Druckmann switched the POV of Abby, he created a parallel showing the similarities of Abby and Ellie between what happened in the first game. Many fans didn’t like that switch because the bad guy kills a good person and we the player are to feel sorry from her perspective from last game’s events. What Druckmann did was very bold – so bold, that a good number of fans of the game decided to stop playing it.

    Despite the sadness, there are still fantastic things in the game players will enjoy. The gameplay itself is fantastic. The graphics are jaw dropping, the audio is creepily crisp! As an avid gamer, and after reading a myriad of reviews, I can understand why reviews are so different from each other. Gamers and Reviewers, I know will agree that this game offers a new realistic sense that is improving with time.

    Once you finish the game you won’t come out happy. In fact, you’ll probably ask yourself if this game was worth it because of how sad and dark it was. In all honesty, the game was Beautifully Flawed. Fantastic with sound, graphics, enemies, as well as some meaningful characters within the game and the different plot points. Flawed because revenge is never always the answer and closure allow people to move forward. Overall, this game is something I would highly recommend not because of the zombie gameplay, but because of how unique and bold the story was as this was the first story in any type of film that I have seen that’s brought storytelling to a new level.    … Expand

    we all are upset from what happened in the game
    and we all had anger that motivated us to play the game till the end
    and in the end, nothing happened and all we get is a very very bad ending .. disappointing
    although graphics are good
    the gameplay is boring sometimes and u just Tolerance to get what you want from the story and all you will get is a very bad ending.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler Alert!. This game will go down as the best game story game to turn to ****

    *****************Buy a used copy of this game******************Dont give money to this company for a game that destroyed an amazing possible series****************

    1st. Im gonna address the biggest counter argument that most people at naughty dog seem to claim when they see a bad score/review against the game: Politically Im very much left leaning pro-gay rights, pro lgtb and very much a advocate for do what makes you happy and be whoever you want if it makes you happy person. However , then comes this game set in a end of the word scenario whose main character Ellie is gay with her girlfriend. So far seems fine with me here, they could have made a beautiful love story tying these 2 characters together and bringing the fans even closer to Ellie and this new lover or hers. Then you have Dina, another gay/bi character getting in a relationship with Ellie. Ok fine. Good representation to the LGBT community and a decent love story could have made these two glow in recognition from everyone. Then you have Abby an unlikely character possible in "the end of the world" with muscles that consume 10,000 calories a day and require 3 hours at the gym daily. This is where the problems start, ok so now we have another gay character that everyone ends up hating but ok. So the 3 main characters are gay/lgtb. Then you have a 4th character Lev that joins Abby that TURNS OUT is ANOTHER LGTB character than joins and become part of the main story line. Now up until now you could let things pass, but now you throw you hands up in the air tired of the PANDERING and at this point PREACHING of this whole social justice warrior intentional normalization "agenda" being shoved down your throat in a game that you just want to play to have fun. Everyone easily recognized as straight was killed off. however in a apogalactic game with just a few thousand people alive in the US, and in this world , the only survivors are the gay people. like REALLY??? These people have become exactly the type of person that they had set out to destroy.

    Now in regards to the game. Best word to describe it :Terrible!

    Let be realistic here, just as the first game, This is not a game with incredible gameplay and amazing in depth content. This Part 2 and it was part 1, is a game Heavily STORY DRIVEN. Is a game that will redact the characters in a form that you can empathize with them learn to love them or to hate them. I remember in the first game me continuously had me laughing and going at Ellie :"What the hell is up with this little **** as a response to her snarky and Whitty attitude that was just a front for her ever growing fatherly love towards Joel. In this game Ellie has lost all personality and likeness , basically an Emmo Young Woman that kills and murders with no reassuring reason as to why. Joel was murdered and deleted from his main role 2 hours into the game. This was the biggest mistake. Im not against killing Joel just against how they did it without adding any real meaning and value to the story. Sure revenge was the underlying tone for Ellie to hunt Abby but there were so many deviations that it just felt like that really wasn't the driving force in the game and much less when YOU SEE THE ENDING!! HOLY **** What kills the story mainly is the addition of this Abby Character. The killer of Joel who they make you play for half of the game while you are hating her for just killing your previous main character. There is so much more I could put down but this is more than enough to hate any story driven games.

    The only good thing about this game is the amazingly beautiful graphics and sounds details. I did love the gore of the game and the individualistic setting of the enemies calling themselves by names all the time, which made it even more closer to real life. In my opinion First play the first game then go to Ebay and buy a used copy of this game. Dont give your money to this company for atrociously destroying an amazing franchise.

    I could have given this game a 6/10 but after seeing how many "Professional" Reviews Naughty Dog bought , I will counter with what they really deserve. 0/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank you Naughty Dog for creating this game. TLOU2 challenges traditional experience of gaming: The player is no longer the savior of the (virtual) world, in contrary, the main character eventually gave up the task they determined to accomplish at the beginning (It sounds also a bit like TLOU) — it seems depressing, but we know “it cannot be for nothing”. I love TLOU2 for it’s an excellently-written story for mature adults, about loss, imperfection, and regrets in life. Those game players, who hate the game just because things did not go as they wish, should grow up. Keep up the good work Naughty Dog, and time will prove it’s a masterpiece. A fan from China.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So much could be said. Sad to see so many people giving this game an unrealistic low score because they didn't like or appreciate the story. It's a brilliant game which really portraits humanity at its worst when **** has hit the fan. It left me sad, somewhat depressed and thoroughly engrossed in the story. I felt it was extremely smart to give us the point of view of opposed characters. To all the people moaning about Joels death by the hands of Abby, please re-play both games and consider who the bigger monster of those two are/were... My only real gripe with the story is the apparent foregone conclusion thst the vaccine is dead. It's repeated over and over as an established truth. But keep in mind for p3 that Ellie, the immune, is still very much alive... That's the redemption arc I'd like to see down the line.… Expand

Masterpiece that shocks you at the beggining of the adventure and makes you feel many hard emotions. Just one of the greatest games ever only hated for the fanboys that expected happy endings and beautiful smiles everywhere. In love with it forever and got my platinum trophy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I did enjoy the graphics, combat and the environment of this game but it doesn't do anything new which hasn't been shown by any forms of entertainment. The classic cycle of revenge which has been done with both the walking dead a new frontier , the TV series from the same name and a movie named "Circle of revenge" with the same theme. The reason why i liked the first game so much was because we see build up relationship from start to end over a long period of time between Joel and Ellie and in the end a man could kill the entire world even if it means to save his child. However , the sequel basically kills of Joel in a dumb way within the first 2 hours of the game. Tommy being a survivor for so long and having enough personality to be trusted with protecting an entire community as we see in the first game yet he manages to give his name to an entire group named WLF which was dumb , if the character development was consistent then this wouldn't have happened because no matter how your character progresses , he/she don't forget their instincts for example Kratos. We have also seen how Neil's theme of "realism" isn't good since he basically had a very muscular woman named Abby whose workout schedule was debunked by real life dietitians and also a fat man from rattlers. There are also very dumb narrative moments like Tommy not seeing the map Ellie dropped due to being in a shock after killing pregnant Mel or when Dina basically ignores that Ellie is immune and the talk goes straight to her being pregnant while that immune topic not having any importance.I get why Ellie didn't kill Abby but this part was a lot of stretch , it also doesn't make any sense imo considering that she only realized that revenge wouldn't solve anything when she was about to drown Abby and not when she killed Mel or when she killed Nora or even when she killed a lot of people on the island beforehand. Lev's character development was also very inconsistent , he goes from not wanting to kill anymore after killing her mother and watching her sister die to helping Abby in extracting down her revenge against Ellie for killing Owen.… 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.
