    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account here just to give my opinion on this game. I see nothing but hate for having to play as Abby and people giving low scores because a beloved character was killed within hours of starting the game. That one scene should not warrant a low score! Everything about this game is phenomenal. The graphics, the music, the tension and the emotional roller coaster it took me on will never leave my mind. This story in this game kept me awake at night thinking about what is going to happen next or finding reasoning why a character did the things they did. The writers and directors clearly had a vision for this game and what transcended was an experience that not even a movie could make me feel. Seeing the story unfold from two different perspectives and seeing the two main characters juggle the same issues was awesome. Do yourself a favor and play this game and do not listen to all the crybabys badging the game! Life is not always rainbows. Bad things happen to innocent, good people everyday. This game is a masterpiece! Play it!… Expand

    Excellent games from beginning to end, three gameplay is phenomenal, the story is gripping and full twist and turns, the music and sound are beautiful and the graphics might be the best I've ever seen from a console. Do yourself a favor and play this game. If you enjoyed 1 or/and uncharted, you will love this game.

    O jogo é excelente do início ao fim. A história surpreende em vários momentos, e sinceramente, extremamente bem escrita. Os gráficos são invejáveis mesmo no PS4 Slim. Polimento e nível de detalhes que só a Naughty Dog faz. Amei! Entrou para o meu Top 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok boys i want to tell you the true, when i finished my first run on tlou2 i was really confused and the end disappointed me.
    But after 2 day i finally understand!
    This is a story about humans!!! I know this is an weird thing to hear but think i little. In the whole story of videogames we can finally see all the story of the good (Ellie) and the bad guy(abby) with all their feelings.
    Tlou's world is horrible and violent but there is also love. If you steal the the thing that a human loves most (like joel and abby's father) he/she want take his/her revenge, its obviously  because we are monkeys!,we follow our instinct and feelings first.
    but if you know why your enemy have done this you star to ask your self if the real villain is you.
    Now guys i want to talk about the ending.
    If you are a kid and you want a good ending you can find it on comics and cartoons, because tlou 2 ending it was the most realistic one!
    The ending is realistic because the protagonist's chooses have consequences and the Ellie's chooses was the most egotistical ones but their was the most human.

    Im sorry if i have made some grammar mistakes but English is no my first language.

    Thanks for reading

    BTW i felt like an **** when i killed the dogs and in the final battle i dropped down the controller and i started to cry because i didn't want to kill abby.    … Expand

    The initially low user score reflects unfortunate review bombing by people who dislike the themes and representations within the game before release, or by people who were unhappy that the story didn't play out how they wanted it to.

    Naughty Dog have done a great job of polarising players. Whatever your take on it, you can't deny the care and attention the team poured into this game. Like    The initially low user score reflects unfortunate review bombing by people who dislike the themes and representations within the game before release, or by people who were unhappy that the story didn't play out how they wanted it to.

    Naughty Dog have done a great job of polarising players. Whatever your take on it, you can't deny the care and attention the team poured into this game. Like the devs said: part 1 is about love, part 2 is about hate. They're able to present a story using this medium that they couldn't in film, and that's fine by me.

    I honestly don't understand the "lazy writing" or "political agenda" narratives. You're playing damaged individuals who are consumed by hate and vengeance. If your expectation is that you'll play a game with the same uplifting character development as the first game, you'll be sorely disappointed. The whole point is you're experiencing the descent into unadulterated hate above all else.

    As for representation of LGBT and race: it's not forced into the story to tick the diversity box. It's a relationship. The last relationship Ellie might have, and how she balances that against the all consuming memories of her past. The fact that she's female is irrelevant.

    ND told the story they wanted to tell. Love it or hate it, it's up to you.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is a more-than-worthy sequel to the excellent The Last Of Us, bringing familiar themes and gameplay elements while breaking new ground in the realm of dramatic narratives in video games. The end result is a harrowing and subversive story that effectively portrays the symmetry and reactive nature of the main characters' bloody pursuit for personal vindication.

    Jogo maravilhoso, com uma história corajosa muito bem contada, que faz o jogador refletir em cima de seus próprios pensamentos. Além disso, tem gráficos sensacionais, muitas coisas para fazer, mesmo sendo um jogo linear, além de um sistema de combate refinado que te deixa tenso todas as vezes!

    Despite the small flaws in the game play (like the underused rope mechanic and lack of open area you can explore after seattle day 1) THE STORY set the bar to a new high.
    No piece of media that i previously consume compares to what this game made me feel, and it will be a long time before something like this happens again.

    It's very bold and some choices surprised me, and I found myself sympathising with characters I wasn't expecting. The graphics are stunning (obviously) and gameplay is terrific and so immersive, much better than the first.
    Overall, people are mostly butthurt one of their favourite characters didn't have a happy ending, but even though I was incredibly sad, it made me invest even more time in the story and the characters, and the journey was worth it. And I will do it all over again.    … Expand

    Masterpiece! Best graphics and sound design of any game. Environment design is incredible. The story takes you on an emotional rollercoaster and challenges you to ask questions of everything you thought you knew about these characters and the world. If you have been turned off by the leaks and review bombing do yourself justice and will experience it on your own.

    A true masterpiece. But should be played only to open minded players. I saw many idiots complaining about Abby's action, complaining about Ellie and Dina relationship. Guys i don t know but we are in 2020 and reading some medieval comments it's embarassing. Go play Fifa please.

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
