    I finally played the game after some time has passed since the backlash. And I.. I just... Jesus Christ. I can't believe how good this is. This game... I've never felt so sad, so emotionally drained by a game, or almost any piece of media. I don't know what to say. Just that you should experience this in your own way. Try to stay away from any preconceptions and go through this.

    По моему это лучшая игра во вселенной как и первая часть, перечеслять её плюсы я не буду так как их очень много, а минусов просто нет!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Отзыв решил написать не сразу. Прошел игру несколько месяцев назад. Сперва играть не хотел из за отзывов других пользователей сети, но все же не жалею сейчас о времени которое провел в TLOU2. Как уже ранее писали, моя жизнь не будет прежней теперь. Это пожалуй единственная игра на сегодняшний день которая вызвала у меня такие эмоции. Я словно потерял человека которого знал всю жизнь! Хотел бы я что то в ней изменить? Пожалуй только уход одного из ГГ! Но дерьмо случается. В реальной жизни все было бы где то так же. Ни один герой вселенной TLOU не заслужил такой участи. Разве что отец Эбби, который готов был пойти на все ради вакцины. Но я уверен на 100% что у него бы все равно ничего не вышло! Я очень был рад тому что Элли не стала тварью и в конце задумалась, о том, что он не хотел бы видеть ее такой.
    Н. Дракман все же гений и у него получилось. Он логично закончил эту историю. Я не разочарован, скорее подавлен (, 8 пальцев из 10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is just amazing , just finished it now and if not the best but it’s for sure one of the best games of the decade , every aspect of this game is good , the graphics , story , gameplay , sound system , movement, just everything is awesome and immersive, before i played it i heard a lotta people giving **** about the death of joel but when i put myself in abby’s shoes i understand why she decided to kill him , yes i love joel but for good or worse this is what the director chose for tlou2’s path and I’m totally fine with it , this game gives you every feeling in this world , happiness, sadness , fear it’s like a tv series or something, the way that your enemies give callouts to each other is a great detail , opening the safes were really cool (some of them were the same but i never got to say something like damn another safe lets skip this one) the weather man the vibes that it gives you is beautiful. The graphics.. I don’t even know how the 7 year old can run this game on 30fps with no problem it’s the best graphics I’ve seen on a console , the game is polished I haven’t seen any glitches or bugs. This game just kept me to itself and i played nothing other than lou2 in the past 3 days.
    the only con that i can find is the fights , most of the times the fights can be the same and it’s a little bad but if you’re creative enough you can find different ways to defeat the enemies and not just playing stealthy , so yeah I highly recommend you to play this and the last of us part 1 game    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This Game is a masterpiece in both visual and storytelling. It give you the meaning of life itself, As the first game, it was a brutal journey and phenomenal story about hate, love and forgiveness, and everything that is good and bad in this broken world. For what i believe if you want to make a good story as the last of us don't give the fans something they want give theme something that will change their point of view over the story and what they really deserve. Of course Joel Miller was one of the greatest character ever made in any media, and he is my favorite character of all time but sadely he didn't make it. His death was so bad and cruel and that's what make this story so special it gives the character what they realy deserve but in the end of course it didn't succed to the same level as the first one. In the end try to understand the story and don't listen to the others who didn't play the game. BE OPEN MINDED.… Expand

    in my opinion this game is great but not perfect. its gameplay is just incredible, it has a lot of action or stealth if that is what you like. its graphics is something that you cannot see at all its glory in a YouTube video. the music is good but not remarkable, there are no memorable tracks but the ones they have get the job done. now the controversy the narrative,    No spoiler review

    in my opinion this game is great but not perfect. its gameplay is just incredible, it has a lot of action or stealth if that is what you like. its graphics is something that you cannot see at all its glory in a YouTube video. the music is good but not remarkable, there are no memorable tracks but the ones they have get the job done. now the controversy the narrative, the narrative is good tending to decent. like the story may not be good for everyone but still that is not a enough reason to give this game a 0/10 or a 1/10 and this is the reason I do this review. so well the story is enjoyable like its not really bad neither really good like the last game "The Last of Us" even though I only see one major problem with the narrative, I am a person that can enjoy a lot of stuff and understand almost everybody's preferences so I get why people dont like this game but for me this is unacceptable. when you are like about 15 hours in a really tense moment the game cuts and goes to a flashback. All the tension thay managed to make got completely lost. like you can do it later but it is not going to be the same. And it would be ok if the flashback would be short but it takes like other 7-15 hours and then the scene goes back and maybe you forgot about it already. now other controversy, the ending, the ending got me like furious due to the game story and then the ending is well. how can i say it it feels empty like something is missing. like quick flashbacks ( people that played the game know what I mean ) and you maybe can understand the decision.

    Secondary stuff
    the characters well they are like empty. they are not as good as the first game but get the job done.

    The weapons. the weapons are good ( I am not going to mention them due to maybe someone taking it as an spoiler ) every gun is usable and fun to use and have different strong-points and its weak-points so if you want to be more efficient you may need to exchange once in a while but every weapon gets the main job done, to kill enemies.

    My conclusion is that the game is worth at least giving it a shot. or even only for the gameplay. the characters are decent and get the job done, the weapons are fun to use and good in most situations.
    even though the narrative is not perfect and is disorganized it is still playable    … Expand

    Without a doubt the worst story I have ever played. It's about the equivalent of a robber taking everything I have then burning down my house. Then, when I confront him I am told everything I had was donated to charity and that I should praise him for such a noble act.

    Definetly not where i expected they would take the story. Technically, this game is great, crisp clean graphics and awesome performances all around but this is all downplayed in a game where most of the time the colors are shades of green, brown and grey. The performances can't save the uninteresting plot with an overused message, i've seen it done before and done better elsewhere,Definetly not where i expected they would take the story.

The performances can't save the uninteresting plot with an overused message, i've seen it done before and done better elsewhere, including in the first game where the message about "two sides to a story" was under the message of hope and healing. I hate how much this game throws it's message in our faces in an effort to make us feel bad, I don't even care about all the hate this game is getting cause I'm pretty sure the developers expected this to happen when they decided to take the story in this direction. They wanted to fill us with hate and still have us understand that our hatred at the game was part of the message, well, mission accomplished. I hate the game, I understand what the message was and I don't like it. I get what they were going for, god knows humanity still has a lot to learn about empathy and forgiveness, but i think the execution of their idea was really bad, so much so the message wasn't able to reach a lot of people. Humans, gamers specially, are short sighted and entitled by default but more than that, I think the developers are more at fault for not executing their idea properly and still expect us to like their product.… Expand

    The game is a masterpiece, the gameplay, graphics and plot are 10 out of 10. In the end, even a stingy tear breaks through )
    The mechanics of the game are built so that gives great pleasure from killing enemies, both zombies and people. The game is quite long, but during this time it does not get boring, there is always some twist or TURN! It will be one of my five favorite games of all time.

    REVIEW EM PORTUGUÊS:

    Uma das maiores decepções no mundo dos jogos.

    O começo é totalmente sem sentido e tedioso, tendo em mãos que você anda mais que joga, a introdução da história é totalmente desconexa com o primeiro jogo, quando se trata da morte do Joel, já que no primeiro jogo ele é um paranoico que não confia em ninguém e no segundo ele já entrega o nome dele para uma desconhecida, e acaba morto por isso.
    A parte em que a Ellie e a Dina juntam para fumar maconha na hora da patrulha (isso mesmo, chaparam na hora da patrulha) é outra parte que não faz o menor sentido, visto que elas tinham uma tarefa no momento.

    A gameplay do jogo é muito "cinemática", quando você faz um ataque corpo a corpo contra um inimigo, você pode estar a metros dele, mesmo assim tem uma força gravitacional que te puxa para o inimigo para que você continue o ataque.
    O jogo é de exploração, mas parece que ele não quer que você explore, toda vez que você "demora" muito para explorar certa área, e o jogo coloca um botão de dica na tela, fazendo o jogador de trouxa.
    Também tem um uso excessivo de quick time events, por exemplo: tem certas partes em que você precisa abrir uma porta, mas está emperrada, então você precisa apertar quadrado duas vezes para abri-la, e isso o jogo INTEIRO.

    A história não é das melhores mas também não é tão ruim, só acho que eles deram um foco muito grande na relação da Dina com a Ellie que pareceu algo forçado para chamar atenção de um certo público. A Dina é uma personagem com um carisma forçado, e muito chata, não para de falar por um minuto sequer.
    Quando você chega em certo ponto do jogo, você joga quase que toda a campanha novamente só que com a Abby, a antagonista, o jogo tenta fazer o jogador entender o ponto de vista da Abby mas só mostra que ela é uma brutamonte psicopata que não tem remorso nem de matar o próprio povo.
    Quando você termina de jogar a parte da Abby, o jogo já está quase no final, mas você não tem aquele sentimento de que está acabando, e quando sobem os créditos você fica com uma impressão de "é só isso?".

    Meus únicos pontos positivos sobre o jogo são o gore, que é sensacional e visceral, a direção de arte, que é uma das melhores que eu já vi em um jogo, aquela parte da fazenda é linda, e por fim, os gráficos que são muito bons, e não confundam o ingame com as CGs, já que o jogo transita muito bem quando precisa.

    Em conclusão, não é um bom jogo, você consegue se divertir em algumas partes mas a maior parte do jogo é extremamente chata e tediosa.

    ENGLISH REVIEW:

    One of my biggest disappointments about gaming.

    The begging is extremely boring, too much walking and awful dialogues and nonsense events (like Joel's death and Ellie smoking weed while she had important things to do at that moment, like wtf she was thinking??).

    The gameplay is too "fake", when you attack a enemy it seems that there is this gravitational force that pulls you to the enemy so you can kill him. The game is about exploring but it seems that it doesn't want you to explore it, because every time you take too long exploring, the game gives you a tip button, and this is so ridiculous, making the player an idiot.
    There is also this overuse of quick time events, for example: there are many times in the game where you are opening a door but the door is stuck, so you need to press the square button two times, and it happens through the whole game, it's so annoying.

    The story isn't that bad but is not also good, Dina is one of the most annoying and terrible character I've ever seen in a videogame, she doesn't stops talking for a single minute during the walkthroug, and the game is always focusing in Ellie and Dina's relationship when it isn't something that important to the story, it gave me the impression of trying to call certain people attention.

    When you get in certain point of the game, you have to play it all again but with Abby, that is the game's antagonist. They try to make you understand Abby's point of view but they just show you that Abby is just a freak psychopath that doesn't even cares about killing her own people.
    When you finish to play the whole Abby's part, the game is near to the end, but the game doesn't even cares about showing the player that you are almost in the end, you don't have that feeling of finishing a game.

    My only positive points to this work is the gore, that is just amazing, the graphics that are great and the art direction that is one of the best i have ever seen in gaming industry.

    In conclusion, is not a good game, there are some fun parts, but the biggest part of the game is extremely boring.

    The chemistry between the characters is zero, the plot itself is weak. If the first part went out due to the excellent chemistry between the characters and the well-written plot, then this is not at all here! Well, with a transvestite and a pumped woman, something similar, but compared to the first part, it’s just zilch.

    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.
