    While long, it's one of the most gripping and intense tales ever told in the medium.

Už je to dlouho co mě iritovalo chování postav v nějaké hře a nikdy bych to nečekal zrovna tady. Všechno mi to přišlo strašně odfláknuté, a přitom mě napadá snad deset věcí co by stačilo udělat a bylo by to vše mnohem plynulejší a uvěřitelnější. To to nikdo neviděl? To si všichni řekli, jak je to boží? Je to hrozná škoda.    … Expand

    maybe Joel dead is part of the game story thought by creator but they don't need us to forcibly play as character who killed Joel so brutly. rdr2 is better in term as if your main character dies but you wont play as Micha any how

    After playing for a second time, 3 years later, I definitely can say with clear vision that this game is extremely compelling. Not deserving of all the hate it receives. Theres so much i can say, but this story is absolutely worth seeing play out, and the gameplay is top 10 for the ps4 generation for me

    if you played the games back to back, and didn't have access to the internet, you would be shocked to find the user rating so low. Its some of the best traditional stealth gameplay, and honestly makes PT. 1's gameplay feel very very stale in comparison.

The gameplay is great, so it is the soundtrack and the character development: when you kill a NPC, you’re killing someone that has a name and friends, and it is shown when you play with that another character (that I’ll hide the name because it can be a spoiler for some people that didn’t see nothing about the game yet), but I think the best part of the game is the feeling it gives you in some moments.

    The game should be a 10, but I chose to rate it as a 9 because of the final part, where we face a different group, but the game doesn’t tell anything about them, and it (the final part) lasts less than it should. But, after that, the cutscenes are masterpieces, making you rethink about all Ellie’s choises.    … Expand

As pessoas ficaram amarguradas com a morte de um personagem tão importante e carismático como o Joel, e descontaram isso na avaliação do jogo. eu dou 10/10 pela qualidade gráfica, gameplay, história, e a abordagem sutil, mas persistente do sentimento de vazio deixado pela morte de quem amamos. O sentimento de pai para filha da Ellie com o Joel é também presente na Abby com o Lev, por isso ela deixou Abby viver, e levar Lev com ela. Com o tempo, as pessoas vão ver o quão complexo e bonito esse jogo é, mas até lá, vamos ter que esperar. Obrigado Naughtydog por essas duas obras de arte.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Althought there are many people who despise this game for it's controverse narrative, I believe it's one of the best games of all time, and defenetly deserverd the GOTY award.

    It's graphicly amazing, it has one of the gratest fisics in a videogame, and very little performance issues.
    The gameplay is not impresive, but it is more than acceptable by the industrie standarts.

    -----Spoilers from now on-----

    The story ain't about revenge, it is about consequences.
    Joel was killed for what he did in the first game... Abby persued revenge, and her consequence was to have all of her friends murdered, and Ellie also persued vengence, so her consequence was to loose her son and the love of her life. She ended up alone like she said she was afraid in the first game.

    Upon sparing Ellie and Dina, Abby realised, it isn't what she wanted, because there is no satisfaction in revenge. She kept on having nightmares after killing Joel, so she learned that killing them won't do a thing. At that point, she broke out of her cycle of violence and moved on.
    And so did Ellie in the ending, as she realised vengence won't bring anything good.

    And for everyone reading, if you haven't already noticed, neither of The Last of Us games are happy. None of the characters are heroes, they are humans, and they grow, they change.

    I understand it might be hard for some people to fell empathy for Abby, I would say 50/50, but I think that the people who didn't like the story should defenetly give it one more chance, and try to see it with other characters eyes.    … Expand

    Ce jeu avait tout pour être un véritable chef-d’œuvre à tous les niveaux mais je crois que son plus grand défaut reste l’histoire. Contrairement au 1er opus, la trame narrative était à mon avis ramassé. Toutefois c’est un bon jeu avec une belle maîtrise technique d’où la note de 8/10 au lieu de 10/10.

    As someone who actually played the game, didn't fully make up his mind based solely on the leaks, someone open-minded and who can formulate an opinion without just copy-pasting what pseudo-intellectual and rage-bait youtubers said, to give this game anything less than a 4 or 5 is completely irrational and devoid of any actual intention to review it in good faith.

    Gameplay - It's a greatly expanded version of what we saw in the first game. Animations are a lot smoother, enemy and companion AI is much better, the damage you can do together with the sound design make for a really grueling yet amazing experience.

    Graphics - Definitely amongst the best we will ever see this generation, it's crazy how they were able to make such a beautiful and detailed game run so well in a console that came out 7 years ago.

    Atmosphere/World building - Each and every area is full of details, full of "life" and have interesting documents that tell small stories that are always interconnected with the main plot, be it to give you some extra context or small stories of what happened in that specific area which sometimes go hand in hand with the puzzles & safes.

    Sound Design/Soundtrack - It's just perfect. The work done on everything sound related in this game, be it from Gustavo Santaolalla or the amazing sound engineers/devs is astonishingly amazing.

    Story - Divisive? Maybe. Good? Definitely, one of the best stories I've seen in gaming personally. It has a few pacing issues but I didn't find it nearly as bad as people were making it out to be. People talk about "agendas" and whatnot, but it's clear it's filled with passion and it's exactly what the devs set out to do (not the suits). I find it brave that even with all of that drivel, they decided to do what they wanted to do with its story!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you think Neil is a good writer. He’s not. This game will surely prove that to you. That’s the most heartbreaking part about it.

    Tried to give this game another shot after waiting and waiting for my absolute favourite game The Last Of Us. Since I finished the TV show and knew I had paid $100 and never finished after being completely traumatised by Joel being completely beaten to death in the first 10 minutes of the game. People should know. Its traumatic. This game was a huge escape for me. Something I needed in bad times. Don’t play it if you have PTSD if you don’t know that happens already.

    Yup he gets completely beaten to a pulp. Some GOT vibe I never expected. I remember getting up the first time I played and saying NO NO NOOOO. This time I swallowed it. Tried again.

    I understand the story to some extent but it is absolutely terrible. Doesn’t really make sense. The map, environmental aspects, flashbacks, all of it really doesn’t make much sense. You’re just running around forever and it’s so boring. It ends on a complete cliff hanger. I will never understand exactly why players had to play as Abbey. The murderer. And have to try to kill Ellie?! Idc about spoilers. People should know. I understand the message but why? Why push this?

    Neil you are a terrible writer….why you did this I really don’t understand. You got all your money and stopped caring? I understand the message but why deliver it like that? Idk what happened to you in your life or something with your creativity shifting so drastically but this game was such a waste of money and total garbage. I’m sorry but it is. You seriously just run around for the entire game. Expecting there to be some big moving moment or something but there’s none. I really tried to give it another chance but it ended up breaking my heart again.

    I hope the TV show doesn’t do this…I’m sure fans will be equally infuriated and traumatised and upset by this just overall bad story writing. I understand the message, I do and I like it but the way it’s presented is some of the worst story writing I’ve ever seen.

    Such a disappointment. I really looked up to Neil. This was lazy and sloppy. Pointless. Boring. Waste of time. Trying to push a message on people in the worst possible way. It could’ve been done so much better.

    0/10 I really tried my best to see the good but by the end. As a whole. The game is bad. I don’t know a soul who thinks it was good.

    Don’t waste your money, time, to be disappointed, bored as hell, heartbroken by a beautiful story being slashed to pieces with no proper explanation or ending.

    Honestly, shame on you Neil. You knew you had so many fans and I have no clue why you did that to us like that. So much money made from the release of this game just to upset so many people. It’s just so mean and on top of it to be so lazy with it?? It’s so awful. I’m just so upset I tried so hard to give him and the other creators another chance for nothing in return. What a waste of talent.    … Expand

The breathtaking visuals stand tall amongst many "next gen" entries, and the layer of polish that comes from a 6-year long development process is much appreciated and apparent. Exploration is improved upon with huge, sweeping areas that contain all kinds of collectibles and resources to gather for your next combat encounter. Combat itself feels phenomenal, with immense layers of depth and freedom for any specific playstyle. The soundtrack is once again perfectly atmospheric and fitting, serving as an extension of the music found in the first game. Where this game fails to be a true masterpiece is in its narrative. This is a disheartening, disgusting, and unnecessary story that should have never been told. The Last of Us stood on its own two feet as a perfect gem, not needing a sequel or any more content. Each character from the first title has been stripped of their soul and humanity, leaving this game feeling hollow and empty by the end rather than climactic and beautiful. While I am disappointed by the choices made by the producers and developers, I would be a liar if I said that this was truly a horrible game that was lacking in any other aspect. The Last of Us goes out with a whimper after an amazing ride. I hope Part III never comes.… 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.
