    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This second part shows you that even a "hero" can die in a blink. A post-apocalyptic world is cruel, bad and lethal, and nobody is safe.
    Maybe the plot was a a little ridiculous, some events were too convenient for the plot to unfold, but even so it does not detract from the great work that the Naughty Dog team did, you can see the love, effort and dedication they put into this great work. Was a sequel to the first game unnecessary? Yes, maybe, but this second part is a decent closing for characters that made us love several years ago.
    Gameplay is just wonderful, the visuals are perfect and the music is gonna give you goosebumps every second.
    Give it a try, this is a must-play for the closure of the Ps4    … Expand

    As a fan of the first game I have to say that it was way beyond my expectations. It is not the story I would like to see, but it is an extraordinary one, and a must game experience. This is my game of the year and a great way to complete the arc which I fell in love with back in 2013. The Last of Us universe is a cruel one, and it always take the best parts of ourselves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terminei o jogo hoje ainda estou meio à deriva. Gostei de jogar com a Abby desde o início, pois quando ela mata o Joel, percebi que era pessoal, e fiquei bolado pra saber qual era a sua motivação. E é exatamente isso que o jogo te entrega, dois lados da mesma moeda. Uma história vivenciada por duas personagens diferentes. Enquanto a Ellie ruma à decadência em busca de vingança, vemos a Abby crescer como personagem e como pessoa. Sem falar que a campanha da Abby é bem mais dahora que a da Ellie. Enfim, TLOU parte II com certeza superou o primeiro em profundidade de personagens, suas motivações, emoções e sentimentos. Jogo foda. Flws.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm so saddened by all of the negative, hateful reviews of this game.

    The Last of Us 2 is probably one of, if not THE BEST GAME I've EVER played in my entire life (and I'm in my mid 30's).

    --Gameplay--
    TLOU 2 takes everything good about the first game and combines it with everything that makes the Uncharted series of games so fun to play with heightened mobility and more streamlined controls.

    There are more weapons with more customization options and more ways to get through combat in such a satisfying way. Snipe from a distance, shotgun blast up close, use smoke bombs and trip mines (my favorite) to really level the playing field against tough and satisfying opponents.

    Everything that sucked (yes.. sucked) about TLOU 1 was removed from this game (using palettes to get Ellie across water, etc) and what's left is one of the most satisfying control and combat systems in a game I've ever played.

    --Story--
    Here's where people REALLY go off the deep end in their hate for this game, which is both moronic and just overall deeply deeply sad.

    Joel is NOT a hero, nor is he supposed to be the pinnacle of admiration. So many people are SO mad about Joel dying, and THAT'S THE POINT. You as the player are supposed to feel enraged at the brutal murder of Joel so that you play as Ellie with a burning, passionate hatred and unstoppable will to get to Abby.

    When you get to that point, you feel triumphant in your quest. But then the game takes a MASTERFUL turn and flips the script. Some might say this is a trope, but mostly people are just angry and upset (and stupid) about being forced to view, feel, and understand the motivation behind the opposition.

    Playing as Abby feels frustrating at first, but there's a glimmer of curiosity as we are plunged into her world and we hope to uncover some deeper understanding as to why Joel was murdered. It's something that is going through Ellie's mind the entire time we are hunting down Abby, and now Naughty Dog is finally giving us a taste of what those motivations are.

    During the time we're playing as Abby, we see an entirely different and new side to the events that are unfolding in Seattle. We are introduced to a very human set of characters that were dehumanized in the eyes of Ellie because of their actions. We are given a rare opportunity to understand our enemy. By the end of Abby's Seattle adventure, we are (if you're not a totally brainless and heartless moron) actually ON HER SIDE!

    Joel selfishly(!) murdered Abby's father, a man who wanted to bring a vaccine to the entire world and was ok with paying a very heavy price for that "victory." Maybe he deserved to die because he devalued the life of one person (Ellie) in favor of others, but these decisions aren't supposed to be easy. None of the decisions in this world/story are easy. Abby is fully justified in her pursuit of murdering Joel to get revenge, and we are exposed to her fragility and sensitivity (and aggression) throughout her half of the game. She could have sailed into the sunset with Owen but instead went back to save the life of the Seraphite children who saved HER life. The story is layered and nuanced in a way no video game narrative has ever felt (to me) in all my years of gaming.

    The Last of Us 2 forces you to see beyond your own selfish, hatred, misguided motivation and understand the opposing views. Most people are upset with that (I think) because most people are just as selfish and fueled by anger and hatred as Joel and Ellie (and Abby).

    At the end of the Seattle chapter of the game, Abby winds up sparing Ellie, leaving her to live with her haunted nightmares of Joel's murder and the fact that her life is "meaningless" because she didn't die when she was supposed to so she could save humanity. When Ellie decides she can't go on without her revenge, she selfishly leaves Dina and the perfect life they've cultivated for themselves so she can pursue her distorted view of justice.

    At the end of the Santa Barbara chapter, Ellie winds up saving Abby's life so they can finally battle to the death. Right before Ellie gets her ultimate revenge, another image of Joel flashes in her head. This time, not one of him dying or as a bloody mess, but an encounter where she promised an attempt at forgiveness. Would killing Abby justify that? Ultimately, no. So she stops. The cycle of killing has to end, and she realizes she has to give up her selfish hatred in order to do what's "right."

    The naysayers who are calling for Abby's death are completely MISSING THE POINT that Naughty Dog's excellent writers are trying to convey. Instead, Ellie returns home to an empty farm and (presumably) decides to go out and fulfill her promise to Joel of forgiveness.

    Bravo to Naughty Dog and the entire voice acting team for such a wonderful story.

I am not trying to combat the 0s although a lot of those seems to be more based off the leaks than the actual game. Well let me tell you, for someone that found out about a few of the leaks before the game came out, the game delivered for me, and then some. I won’t lie this game took me longer because it could be emotionally Daunting at times. It was brutal, depressing, complicated. Many times I would say, “Don’t do it, Ellie.” But you understood why, and can I say the ending really helps recapture why. This game is truly what a good sequel should do. Keep us familiar with the world while adding a deeper dive into the characters. Let me talk about my gripe first because it is nit picky: But The gun customization, while I loved all the new things they did with it, the animation took awhile to get through. Don’t get me wrong it was cool to see, but after a few times I was ready to get back to the action. With Ellie we got that, we got see her grow from hopefully being this goofy kid, to a competent adult wishing her father figure trusted her more. Especially with how he lied to her at the end o of the last game. (Which they handle so well in the sequel). This game you truly see what it means to become obsessed with one mission and to see it through until the end. Which by the way I get why she was doing it in the first place, but the last scene at the end of the game made it even more painful. (Well dons Dogs!) Ellie’s gameplay was a blast, having her trusty switchblade with her was always fantastic!

    I also really enjoyed what they did with Abby’s character. They took someone you hate when you first meet her, and then they break her down and you see how she ticks and by the end you see how much she has grown. The last fight *chef’s kiss* also Abby got that dope Boss Battle in the basement of the Hospital. I loved it! All in all the narrative was impressive, and as much of a risk as it was Naughty Dog swung for the fences and hit the ball out of the park. While this game does get so dark and brutal and depressing they give you wonderfully tender moments, Dina and Ellie, Abby and Owen, Ellie and Joel, Abby and Lev (friggin love Lev!) and so many others (special shout out to the ladies man Manny!) they also give you some fantastic flashbacks. The one for Ellie’s birthday brought a tear to my eye. Also the way the guitar was incorporated into the game beautifully done.

    The score sublime, the art perfect, and the new customizables were great! All of the acting was top notch, Ellie still may be my favorite character from the series but Abby, Lev and Dina fought there way into my hawser.

    This game had me hook line and sinker. It was an unexpected but wonderful sequel that after some time to ponder my existence as a human I will have to play again to grab the collectibles.

    Nicely done Naughty Dog you made a sequel worth of its predecessor.    … Expand

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