    If you loved the TLOU, you will be very disappointed playing TLOU2. You are not allowed to control the choices being made at critical points in the game.

The game takes control of your actions at those critical points and makes it feel more like an interactive movie than a game. TLOU2 also forces you to feel something for characters that you don't give two sh*ts about. The constant flash backs for those characters plus the inability to skip those scenes makes the game drag on in agony. Lastly, the story being told came at the expense of dumbing down the original characters to the point that they were completely out of character. There were so many plot holes that it gave me flash backs of the last season of GoT. The ending just leaves you thinking "uh ok, really? what a waste of my time"

    The graphics and game play was great, but in my humble opinion its not worth your time. This game is a glorified over hyped polished turd. I wanted to love this game so bad and gave it a lot of thought before posting this review. The developers try so hard to manipulate how you feel in this game that it just comes across as deceptively cringy at best. I strongly believe a game should let the player decide for themselves at critical moments in the storyline and have a choice to act and feel the way they interpret the story. The Witcher3 is a great example of this choice given to the players at critical moments.    … Expand

    Em termos técnicos, esse jogo beira ao impecável. Mas quem for jogar tenha em mente que esse jogo é bem diferente do primeiro, abordando temas polêmicos como politica e religião, alem de uma narrativa extremamente pesada e melancólica, causando um sentimento muito diferente do que tivemos no TLOU1. Então é bem possível que você que gostou do primeiro...talvez não goste dessa continuação.Em termos técnicos, esse jogo beira ao impecável.

    Contudo, eu ainda recomendo ele, pois jogar TLOU2 é uma experiencia unica, que mexe com os seus sentimentos de um jeito que nenhum jogo até hoje consegue fazer, podendo ser um dos jogos mais incríveis que você já jogou. E com certeza sera um jogo que entrará para a historia dos games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Responding to the hate

    1. What's wrong about having a lesbian protagonist? A transgender character? or a strong buff woman like Abby? Nothing because representation matters.

    2. THAT scene in the first few hours. The point was to have Ellie & the player witness a brutal event for what happens afterwards which is the pursuit of revenge. It was the consequence to Part 1's ending and it was executed in a disrespectful way? on some level yes but this is TLOU, a unforgiving world where you're just surviving. He was acting out of character? Well it has been 5 years since settling in Jackson and patrols are to clear out the area and recruit new survivors? He isn't a smuggler anymore and people change.

    3. Bad/Lazy Writing: On my playthrough I failed to notice any of it. Nothing off and do you know Neil Druckmann is brilliant as he wrote Part 1 but also Uncharted 4 which also became the best one since 2?

    4. False Advertising? That is normal in this type of media along with Films to avoid spoilers so yes it is misleading but doesn't you should trust it. The leaks were unfortunate but it was proven to be by a Hacker and not some angry employee.

    5. Crunch: Yes crunch is also usual but this time almost everyone was passionate about making it that even tho the Director told them to not work so hard, they continued by their choice.

    6. The Ending: IMO I thought it was a fitting way to end the journey & I doubt after playing 10+ Hours as Abby and going through change with her Redemption Arc was gonna end up with her fate which was actually the original ending but I'm glad ND changed it as it is more open for a possible Part 3.

    7. Ruined the Franchise? it has been said years ago that Part 1 Fans aren't going to like this. This story was worth telling because it was a concept landed on and also continues the Ending from Part 1 which is the reason this is called Part 2. The character flashbacks did it justice especially the museum. Ellie in part 1 really wanted a meaningful death but finds out the truth so the flashbacks show the worst of times and the best moments. How was it ruined? lol

    8. Paid Shills? Critics gave a good score because it was their own review. I even hear that being paid off to give a good score is even illegal.

    9. User scores tell a different story. 5/10 = not accurate, Metacritic still hasn't implemented a way to verify if you own something so this was review bombed even the second the game released. Impossible to finish. It's true the 10/10's could be bombed. but the Negative ones are far more with the Bombing.

    10. The Director self insert himself? Yes Manny does look like him but Neil never did any Mocap. He even shouted out the actor so that claim is false.    … Expand

    The Last Of Us Part 2 это игра явно не для всех. Игра только для взрослых не зря же написано На дисках 18+ это беснуется как и ультра насилием так и взрослыми темами которые не все поймут.

    Игра начинается с того что Джоэл говорит Томи что он натворил в Джексоне, он это сделал потому что не ему не Элли не дали другого выбора. Потом мы играем и за Элли и видим как она живёт как типичный тинейджер. Потом она идёт на вылазку там убивают Джоэла и и за этого не не на видить всЮ игру это тупо и не логично, но вы понимаете людям не зашла Эбби и все думают что она транс увы нет она Гетеросексуальная девка просто очень сильно накачена и у неё в комнате есть протеины и вот как она так накачалась. Эбби логично вписана в историю она накаченная видно что много качалась, но в конце она похудела так так была в плену и это надо было для контраста. И что мне ещё сказать игра самая детализированная, самая графонистая, и красивая АНАЛОГОВ ЭТОЙ ИГРЕ НА ДАННЫЙ МОМЕНТ НЕТ В ЭТОМ ПОКОЛЕНИИ И ВРЯТЛЕ БУДЕТ.

    In terms of graphics, gameplay and other mechanics the game is great.

    But the story is just absolute garbage. Had to make myself finish the game, it is indeed that disgusting.

    Without a doubt an amazing game! Went it to it cautiously due to the mixed reviews but having completed it I realised all the negative reviews are due to the snowflake generation we live in.
    The game does perfectly what’s its supposed to, which is show a post apocalyptic world in all its grittyness and portrays the characters you play and meet in exactly that light.

    The game does perfectly what’s its supposed to, which is show a post apocalyptic world in all its grittyness and portrays the characters you play and meet in exactly that light.
    Revenge is big tone of the game but naughty dog does an amazing job with it and manages to make you (the player) slowly and grudgingly forgive a character you hate so much! This ties in perfectly with the story and that is commendable.
    Some people say the ending wasn’t satisfying but really what did you expect... it’s a game about the end of the world, not everything is going to have a happy ending with people dancing into the suns set. Personally i feel the ending suits this world perfectly....

    Talking about gameplay I mean just WOW, playing any other game now feels bland with the mechanics and attention to detail in the world that I’ve been spoilt with in the last of us 2. The game plays so smoothly and fluently just like the first and honestly it’s so impressive that I couldn’t find a single bug which is impressive alone judging by the amount of bugs you see in new games now.

    This isn’t a fan boy review. As I said I came into this game leaning more towards the idea that I will hate it but really I couldn’t find anything my mind was maybe subconsciously looking for to prove my these thought right. The game is another hit and it’s a real disservice and discouraging to developers who dedicate their life into this sort of amazing work and try hard to give you a “real life” story and just not a perfect happy ending like most games today which cater to the snowflakes.

    Play it! You’re missing out if you believe all the cry babies and pass on it!    … Expand

Слеза не упала ни разу, да и не падала никогда при прохождении игр. Стоп, сейчас давайте без спойлеров, пожалуйста, я уверен что ей ещё есть где упасть. Хочется сказать огромное спасибо всем художникам, аниматорам, звуковикам, примите мои соболезнования, я понимаю как это, сам разработчик. Они проделали огромную и тяжёлую работу, на твёрдую десятку, с учётом железа для которого они всё это делали. Игра далеко не шедевр, и далеко не самая плохая, она не заслуживает ни 10 ни 3 бала. Если спросите сколько бы я ей поставил... Лично я бы поставил 8 балов, не знаю справедливо ли это, так как понимаю какие бурления вызвала эта игра в сообществе игроков. Я сам считал эту игру таким говнищем когда посмотрев некоторые моменты игры, и посмотрев многие видео на эту тему, прочитав многие мнения в интернете. Я собирался смотреть прохождение чтобы покекать с глупостей и побомбить, но словил себя на мысли, что всё не так уж и плохо как может показаться на первый взгляд.… Expand

He uses a golf club to murder Joel.Ellie is lesbian who has relationship with a Hebrew brown girl, who that girl later gets pregnant by a chinese and Ellie and That brown girl with her chinese child, become a ''family''.Ellie and that brown Hebrew girl do drugs and you control 2 characters. Ellie the lesb0 and the transexual guy who takes steroids! I kid you not. he takes steroids! And he gets analy prolapsed in a boat by a white guy. During your missions you will find a pregnant woman who dresses as soldier, carries weapons and fights zombies and also characters which you never saw before but game presents em as cannon serious and important. Seriously im not kidding you! This is the story of the game! Then the team of the transexual guy which is full of gypsies, chinese, lesbians and hebrews, hunt down white KIDS while they ''murder zombies''. They say revenge is bad and whole game shows lgbt zionist community commiting revenge on white people, kids!, family. The game is such a woke up culture, so trash youll find your self laughing at scenario when off course you wont be bored.Most of time you will be bored rolling your eyes, regretting the purchase you made.

    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.
