    I dont care what anyone else says about the gameplay and the story. This is still easily the best game I've played on the PS4 this year...

    I know some people are mad about the game because they either expected a fairy tale ending or had strong opinions about matters not pertaining to the game itself. My advise is to play this game with an open mind and not focus too much on what people spoil for you here without actually finishing the game completely....

    All in all, in a cut-throat lawless world that Ellie, Joel and rest of the characters live in, there is no such thing as justice and predictability, TLOU 2 is meant to be a dark game with unpredictability. I hated Joel after the first game for his selfishness and last minute change of heart. Naturally everyone in TLOU universe would hate him and want him and his allies dead... Everyone wants to survive and everyone is a hero in their own story.

    The story is as unpredictable as it gets and the game-play arcs for each character is worth playing for. I have had enjoyable moments looking for all collectibles, safes, trading cards and notes left all around the environment in each chapter. It's interesting to tie all these artifacts together to piece up stories of all the bodies and infected people you encounter in the game... The developers really really put in a lot of effort into the game and it shows.... Please see the early gameplay trailers from 2017 and now (there is a youtube video out there showcasing that...) Plus, it also shows, like the current world we live in, nobody is perfect when making decisions. Everyone has some good moments and everyone has some bad moments. Plus, fate decides whether you live or you die...

    Keeping to that tone, this game is a masterpiece. I agree with the game creators to end the game on such a note as it leaves space for questions and thought. I found the story arc similar to Pulp fiction. Naughty Dog can now work on newer projects in peace regardless of spoilt meta fans and review bombers...

    The whole story can be encapsulated into a one liner - "An eye-for-an-eye leaves the whole world blind!" - befitting the title itself THE LAST OF US    … Expand

    TLoU2 is a masterpiece, its really dark and full of emotions. There were times I didn't want to continue, but at the end I absolutely loved it. You have to experience the game for yourself and can't listen to the leaks or the 0/10 reviews. You can't even listen to the 10/10 reviews, experience it for yourself.

Despite this the gameplay and graphic is very good. I dont think is bad that is the same of first chapter. The only issue is about the story. Also the sexuality of the protagonists is so marginal in the story that i dont see any "revolutionary" quality for a game that pretend to be progressist and open minded.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, it's not a bad game, but not a good one either.
    In my opinion, the story is decent, not nearly as good as the first game's story, but still ok. The biggest flaw it has is the presentation and the order the events are shown in.
    Abby is a decent character, and to be honest I found myself more invested in her story than in Ellie's mainly because she doesn't appear as just a character dominated by one single wish which is to take revenge, although I must admit that they forced you a bit too much to care for her. Her killing Joel would have been better if the players knew who she was and why she did it first, instead of her showing up out of nowhere and bam, Joel's now dead.
    I'm really bothered by the fact that Joel was reduced to having two appearances before dying, which is a horrible decision. Why not show the flashbacks first and tell the story chronologically? Just a horrible decision overall.
    Also, I didn't find myself caring about any of the new characters they introduced besides Abby, which was because they shoved the fact that you must care about her for the story to work, and all the deaths in this game carry nothing with them, not even a trace of significance for the plot or the characters.
    Also, what's with all the SJW stuff in the game, like all the male characters that matter to the story besides Tommy and Lev dying until the end? They were just not necessary and they don't bring anything to the game besides pleasing hardcore feminists or whatever.
    The character development for Ellie is just a mess. Besides the final farm scenes where she maybe kinda tries to walk away from what happened for what felt like 5 minutes, she's just a bland character obsessed with revenge.
    The gameplay, although it doesn't bring many new stuff to the first game's gameplay, was more fun mainly because the fights were more satisfying, and you have more ways to play the game in a stealth fashion with craftable silencers and bows that are straightforward to aim with.
    Scavenging is pretty fun, although a bit excessive at times, with the absurd amount of safes that you have to find codes for.
    The graphics, environment and voice acting are just amazing, no other way to put it.

    Overall, it's certainly not a bad game, but the story is just a mess in the way it's presented and gameplay can feel a bit exhausting at times.

    TL DR :
    Graphics - 10/10
    Gameplay - 8/10

    the gameplay is quite similar to the first game with slight improvement and all new mechanics, making it quite fun to play. The story is also great, it does a great job of immersing the player into the role of Ellie. I do understand why a lot of people are mad, but if you want to appreciate the game you've got to actually open your eyes to the story. overall its a great game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although the game is astonishingly beautifully done, what cautivated me from TLOU 1 was the dialogs and the characters. Part 1 storyplot was motivated by love, being that love at the beggining broken from Joel, but Elie manages to heal that and it´s what drives the plot ultimately to me. In a very sick and apocaliptical world they manage to help themselves and the story plot leaves you with a wonderfull feeling of father-daughter love story.

    This second part is the opposite, it does not build upon anything good, it left me unhappy to pay this story. In my opinion, although the game is well done, the story is a failure, and that was what i tought was most great from the first part, and what compelled me to get the second. A shame, i was hoping to play a game that left me that same good taste in the mouth, a story about pushing yourselve to be better. TLOU 2 is the opposite and leaves everyone broken, and you are just part of it without beign able to do anything about it.

    This was not a story that i wanted to experience, in my oppinion the plot is bad, it doesn´t matter how well it´s done. If a movie plot is bad it doesn´t matter how well it´s done, the movie is bad. This is the same in mu oppinion.

    And i do not expect to play the game ever again, i regret even playing it the first time. I did play TLOU 3 times, even with the PS4 enhaced version, and is still one of my favorites.

    A three is what this game deserves, and only because it is very well done.    … Expand

    The last of Us 2 is a masterpiece of the generation, with its perfect scenarios, together with its environments, and the climate, lighting, game mechanics, gameplay and movement, the characters' facial expressions, sound effects and the soundtrack sound, all charming.

    You enter the heart, the humanity of the characters, embody your feelings and your dreams, your desires. Interpret and    The last of Us 2 is a masterpiece of the generation, with its perfect scenarios, together with its environments, and the climate, lighting, game mechanics, gameplay and movement, the characters' facial expressions, sound effects and the soundtrack sound, all charming.

    You enter the heart, the humanity of the characters, embody your feelings and your dreams, your desires. Interpret and feel, the soul of each one, in its details. Unlike a film, you are in the skin of the protagonist, who increasingly makes you empathetic.

    In this post-apocalyptic world, we reflect and see, how the society of good is more united and human, like the society of jackson. Values ​​are different, there is no value for money, what remains are only the virtues of the soul, and your passions, be it for music, or dreams.
    Unlike today, nobody needs to show off or put on makeup, hide their hearts, they have no futility or material possessions, only the truth, and pure emotion, soul, feeling, are properly valued.
    Surviving sharpens your feelings. Living out of social status, and giving value to your feeling, and relationships, exchanges of emotions and affections.
    That and passed in the lore of the game, all the characters, are more emotional and sentimental, deep in their being, being hard and brutal to survive, violent, but still loving and feeling.

    Each subtlety, each attitude, you feel interpreting each act, each chapter of the protagonist's mentality, is a surreal experience.

    You feel the soul, the feeling, the expression of Ellie in every song played on the guitar. This is incredible, just wonderful.

    The story is impeccable, it was a great way to create a well done and exciting plot, which keeps you glued to the plot from beginning to end, and its impactful actions.

    The game remains perfect, with a story that establishes principles and difficulties, demonstrating the brutality of survival. How people change for thirst for revenge, what they lose, and how far they go. Hate only ends when forgiveness begins.

    In this game, as in the first one, it is not about heroes and villains, but about the behaviors and choices of the human life we ​​make, and how they will trigger actions.
    The best way to cut the sadness of losses through revenge, is by forgiving, breaking the cycle.
    We lose humanity, we leave our passions in search of that thirst.

    However, even with forgiveness, the consequences happened, they were great and without return for all the characters involved with the protagonists.
    The journey of revenge cost him everything, that is very sad.

    Game to question yourself, to evolve emotionally. Game of the generation without a doubt.
    Is it worth hating? Peace can only be found through empathy. Hate and revenge are feelings that have a vicious cycle.

    This game changed my life a lot, it impacted my way of thinking, how a game can convey something so profound and true, better than movies. In every detail and affection, that naughty dog ​​put this eye candy for the eyes and soul .

    Joel finds a new meaning in life, having feelings from father to daughter with Ellie, she changed her life, and transformed him into a new man, docile and protective.
    Just as 1 made me change my relationship, how we should protect and love, and even about adopting a daughter, this made me go back to being emotional, and falling in love with the protagonist, and her little details, that pass so much from her soul and her personality. Ellie and lasts, and also a sweet person.

    I recommend this game to everyone, it's a work of art.
    A game that you feel, it changes your life.
