    Eu não tenho palavras pra esse jogo. É um dos melhores jogos que já joguei, com uma das melhores dublagem. Com esse jogo eu fiquei triste, fiquei feliz, fiquei com medo, fiquei com raiva, até chorei. Eu recomendo, por mim esse jogo é o jogo do ano!!, Parabéns pelo trabalho Naughty Dog e não sei como as pessoas falam mal desse jogo.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece. Even better than the first. Naughty Dog's craftsmanship is only rivaled by Rockstar, and this is their best game yet.

    Pros:
    -Good graphic
    -Great level designs
    -New gameplay mechanic
    Cons:
    -Terrible story(makes you want to delete it after just play for 2 hours)
    -Force you to play as the antagonist
    -False advertising

    Great job Neil **** you destroyed what once was a masterpiece, i recommend that you don't waste your time and money on this

I'm going to spell it out nice and easy, this game is a perfect example of character assassination, where both Ellie and Joel's characters are mistreated and do things they wouldn't do logically (as per their first game development and even per some of this games development).

The way that it's forces you to shift perspectives and gain empathy for characters who are normally more one dimensional is pretty genius. That and the very grim, in-your-face depiction of cycles of vengeance and brutality at it's most mf'ing brutal (You're supposed to feel that way btw. It's emotional manipulation, like all entertainment.) I think if you liked the first game you'll like this. It's more of the same...uh...mostly. Way more intense and creeped me out thoroughly at some points. So so good!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dislike the Last of Us Part 2 because, while the graphics are gorgeous and for the most part the gameplay is fun, the story lacks meaning. And feels pointless in the end. I played hoping to kill Abby, and when Ellie left that behind to go live her life with Dina I was okay with it, because that’s understandable. However when Ellie left Dina and her son behind, and then didn’t kill Abby I was incredibly confused. She left her life behind, for no reason. Naughty Dog completed changed characters like Joel and Tommy, making them more ‘friendly’. There’s a sex scene which nobody asked for and now all people are asking for is bleach, to bathe their eyeballs in. Overall the game is an extremely upsetting sequel to The Last of Us.… Expand

A parer mio, gli autori hanno rovinato Joel, devastato psicologicamente e fisicamente Ellie, ridicolizzato Tommy e tanto altro! Incredibile. Di fatto, gli eventi del secondo capitolo, potevano essere compresi, accettati e discussi in altro modo, se questo fosse stato un gioco a se stante o magari, se la trama fosse stata diversa o sviluppata in modo da dare al giocatore una scelta multipla e non far vivere ""passivamente"" una narrazione irritante e, per certi versi, deludente.

    A visual masterpiece and solid combat mechanics. It's sad to say this as a big fan of the first one, but plot was disappointing. One of the brilliant things a game can do is capture you emotionally. The developers accomplished this, but disappointment is all i I felt by the end. I am not sure what the goal is by destroying or twisting what you loved about the first installment...

    A bad game with nonsensical writing and a story that ruins every aspect of beloved characters, while simultaneously bringing in new main characters no one cares about. A spit in the face for fans of the first game, only saved by it's next-gen graphics and fun gameplay.

Особенно если играть на 4К телике, так вообще море удовольствия получишь от графики! Геймплей интересный и не однообразный, атмосфера прекрасная. Я готов простить игру за все, ибо это настоящий шедевр! К сожалению большинство людей не поняли сюжет, и закидывают игру нулями, даже не аргументировано, а чего вы ожидали хеппи энд? Это суровая реальность жизни, и игра нам это показывает, до чего может привести месть, я такой же фанат первой части как и все, но нормальные фанаты поймут смысл второй части, который нам хотели донести, да мне тоже безумно было жалко увидеть жестокую смерть моего любимого персонажа Джоэла, но ничего не поделаешь, это суровая реальность нашей с вами жизни, и к этому надо быть готовым! Я не говорю что мне безумно понравилось играть за Эбби, и увидеть её историю, хотя мне этот персонаж не особо нравиться, но раскрыли её не так уж и плохо, но и не хорошо, среднее. А от финала игры, я вообще плакал, меня тупо порвало на слёзы!!! Это очень тяжёлая игра , с серой моралью, и глубоким смыслом. Скажу вам одну легендарную фразу от одного мудрого человека: "Насилие порождает насилие, и за смерть, платят, смертью, те кто не испытывает сомнения, и не знает раскаяние, никогда не выберутся из этого круга" Вот эта фраза идеально описывает сюжет второй части The Last of Us 2. Пройдите игру пару раз и может вы поймете смысл сюжета, ибо мы все наблюдатели этой тяжелой истории мести, насилия, крови. И может тогда задумаетесь, и поймете, что сюжет не такой уж и ужасный, да не спорю, есть немного недочётов в нём, но если на все закрыть глаза, и проникнуться этой истории самому, то тогда вы поймете, что это настоящий шедевр! Что насчёт ЛГБТ повестки, да, безусловно в игре она есть, но она на сюжет никаким образом не влияет, да и от силы её тут 10-15 минут не более, конечно мне не хотелось что бы эта повестка в дальнейших проектах Naughty Dog развивалась больше, но будем надеется на это, я лично против всей этой фигни, но отношусь я к этому крайне нейтрально. Но повторюсь, из за этой повестки хейтить игру, это очень глупо и нелепо, ибо на сюжет она НИКАК не повлияла! Я лично на это все закрыл глаза, и просто наслаждался игрой! Всем спасибо кто прочтёт мой отзыв, и дам вам свой совет, в такие игры играть нужно САМОМУ, а не смотреть всяких г*вно блогеров обзорщиков, которые поливают игру дерьмом, ради хайпа. Всем желаю добра, и играйте только в хорошие и годные игры!… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 does a lot of things right. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is improved from the first game (particularly through the options you are given to get around the "battlefield"). I enjoyed the music and the game leaves plenty of optional collectibles/letters/pictures etc that you can rummage for to help immerse yourself in the game world if you choose, with the usual level of detail you can expect from Naughty Dog.

    Here is the part where I explain why the heck I gave the game such a low score when it has all of this going for it.

    The thing about Metacritic User Reviews is that they are, in general, based on the user's overall experience with the game. Many serious critics will grade different sections of a game individually and then average them out, but we aren't getting paid, we can just say how we "felt" about a game. Just like a game doesn't have to be absolutely flawless to be given a 10, a low score doesn't necessarily mean the game was an unplayable mess either.

    Which brings me to the story. **** I will try to avoid major spoilers, but obviously you will pick up a bit here or there so this is a heads up*****

    For the first half of the game you play as Ellie, who is trying to get revenge on a group of people who have wronged her. Like in the first game, you are typically working with an AI companion (there are a couple who join her at various points). On the whole this worked well. The characters and dialogue were pretty interesting and you had a clear goal to work towards while you mow down zombies and bandits etc.

    Just as you are nearing the end of your journey, and the payoff you had been building towards, the game pulls the rug out from under you and makes a complete U-turn.

    Suddenly the clock is rolled back to the beginning, but this time you are Abby, a member of a rebel group called the WLF, and one of the antagonists Ellie is after. This change-up lets you see the story from the "bad-guys" perspective, helping you understand what was going on behind the scenes while you were playing as Ellie. It also goes on for WAY. TOO. LONG.

    I feel like the developers gambled a bit here. How well the game lands for you seems to depend almost entirely upon how you feel about Abby, because like it or not, you are stuck with her for half the game. Unfortunately for me - I did not.

    Abby is a supremely unlikable character to start, and the game doesn't really evolve her character enough to get over it. Sure her goals are understandable, but that doesn't make her intriguing, it just makes her not crazy. Billed as her group's "top killer" she lives up to that rep throughout her arc, murdering just about anything she comes across and callously chuckling to herself at the misfortune of others when she reads through those depressing collectible notes left behind by unfortunate zombie victims.

    Eventually Abby does something nice for someone, out of guilt, but it really isn't nearly enough to wipe away the awfulness she started with and certainly wasn't enough to get me on her side over Ellie, who we've spent 1.5 games (plus DLC!) getting to know.

    The end result is a whole half of a rather long game that is an absolute slog to get through. My desperate need for closure kept me playing to finally see the ending the game had been holding hostage on me, but I wasn't enjoying myself.

    I love story driven games and I enjoy when they make me "feel" things. I don't believe games need to be happy all the time to be a good story. My issue was, I wasn't really feeling much at all besides boredom. I just wanted Abby's part to be over. If there had been a button prompt that gave me the option of skipping the gameplay entirely to just zip through Abby's cut-scenes I would have taken it. The game literally put me to sleep at one point, in the middle of the day, and it was such a stark contrast to the first half of the game, where I didn't want to put my controller down to stop the ride.

    Ultimately this is why I ranked it so low. This game made me miserable for roughly 20 hours to the point where I was mostly playing out of stubbornness. What good are those wonderful graphics, the work and detail put in, if in the end, I'd rather NOT be playing the game?

    This doesn't mean You personally won't like the game, but I certainly can't recommend it.    … Expand

But the plot is absolute Bull crap. Ellie's whole revenge story makes no sense and the way they killed joel off within 2 hours of the game is just stupid, wrong and horrible writting. First, The characters. Ellie acts like the freaking female version of sasuke uchiha throughout the whole game and it doesnt make anyone want to play as her. Dina doesnt even need to be in the story its just cringey teen love. Jesse was a decent character just to get freaking shot in the head 2 seconds within walking through a door. Tommy is Just.. ugh.. Joel doesnt even act like joel. After years of experience, you'd expect him to be smart enough to not trust strangers, especially in this apocalyptic world. Speaking of apocalyptic world, The whole god damn story is all about Ellie getting revenge on the people that killed joel, Massacring All Wlf, And Scars that stand in her way. So the infected play no god damn role in this game. The fights are useless and not fun at all. Okay back to the characters. Abby, The she hulk herself. They have the audacity to make us play as one of the people that killed our most beloved character, thinking that we'd sympathize for her. No, We wont.
    All the other people are just nobodies that we dont care about. Okay now lets get into depth here.
    Yes, i get what they tried to do, A person we do not know kills one of our beloved characters because of what he did in the past and she wanted revenge. That was a semi good idea. But the WAY they did it was absolute Dog doodoo. The pacing is horrible, the characters are not likeable, the gameplay is repetitive, And its just downright BAD. We lived for 7 years knowing that ellie and joel has always been the good ones (Not good people, but the people that we know and love) But in this game they try to FORCE you to hate them, and sympathize for Abby cause of what joel did. That just isnt smart at all.    … Expand

    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]
