    Melhor jogo que já joguei na vida... Enredo muito complexo, personagens muito bem trabalhados, temática séria, adulta, e história muito madura frente ao mundo real e às pessoas mesmo. Gameplay incomparável. Só aplausos.

    This game is a masterpiece and a must-play! Even better than the first one. It's a game that's heartwrenching, brutal and scary, but also deeply about love in all its different ways. Pure brilliance in a game and a story!

    Having just played Part 1 before finishing Part 2, I would have to say they are both equally amazing. It would seem people are romanticizing Part 1 so much they never gave Part 2 a chance.

    Part 2 was clearly a segue to Part 3. People need to relax for a minute before they write such angry reviews in mass that Part 3 is never made based on a false notion from Internet trolls.

Moreover, the game offers the player full control over the combat actions, which range in variation to difficulty, giving the player an immersive experience in gameplay. To address the story, and how it is not remotely similar to the first game, I contend that the purpose of the second game was supposed to be different from the first. The first was a masterpiece, and therefore should not be repeated last we risk a boring and milked out plot. Therefore the second installment, as it showed, demonstrated another groundbreaking deviation from the gaming norms just like the first. I suggest everyone to play this game before giving their final thought. I understand that it might not be the best game or the game that you asked and expected; however, it needs to be said that this will be a once in a generation success in terms of gameplay, graphics, story, and character development. It really made me wish I were a person living in that zombie apocalypse to know the characters.… Expand

    A lot of issues I've noticed are centred around the story. Whether you love or hate this game depends really on if you get on board with the narrative direction the story takes the player.

    Naughty Dog make some extremely bold choices and I have to say I understand why people take issue with the story.

    For me though it was perfect...

    A masterpiece sequel to the first game. Everything has been done in the proper way. Even it has not been love by most people, but I must admit that it has been done in the way it should be. Just can't wait for the next sequel of part 3.

    The game is fantastic with a story that is in deeper that we could've thought. The 2nd run of the game really helps you understand why things happen that way that they did.

Schade das viele nicht die Message verstehen. Und einige auch nicht das gesamte Spiel bis zum Ende zocken. Es gab für mich nur einen Moment, bei dem ich pausieren musste. Das war ca bei der Hälfte. Und das auch nur weil ich mich nicht auf das einlassen wollte,was mir ND zeigen bzw. aufdrücken wollte. Ich war frustriert und wollte nicht zulassen was meine Sicht auf die Dinge angeht. Und ein großer Teil der Wut,entstand bei mir ,da mir klar, dass trotz aller meiner Bemühung, es ND am Ende doch irgendwie schaffen. Jeder der es bewertet, sollte Teil 1 und Teil 2 gespielt haben. Und dann 1 bis 2 Tage warten. Und nicht auf irgendwelche pews hören. Die eh ur mit einem halben Auge spielen und hauptsächlich den Chat unterhalten.

    The graphics and physics of the game are absolutely astonishing. There is a real good combat design and it definitely is better than the first part. The music is incredible. And at last the story is a true gem.

    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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I NEVER leave reviews. I enjoy reading them but never felt conflicted enough to spend the time I have to actually leave one. Until now. I read so much hate on this game. Hours of reviews, of videos, even of conversations with friends. But all of it is complete malarkey. This is a beautifully designed and written game. I am blown away at the pettiness people have towards such minuscule things that actually make the game so great! I understand that people have developed feelings towards certain characters based off the first(also amazing) game. And what happened in this game definitely shook me to my core. But when has a game done that for you?! When did a game challenge you and your complete way of thinking towards a situation? We are so focused on our own issues, our own thoughts that we can’t even see what is going on from another point of view. But this game does that. This game is firing on so many levels and showing people there is a story to both sides and literally puts you in their shoes. Also being completely diverse with its characters is just incredible. Even in an apocalyptic world people are going to be who they are. And raging mushroom headed monsters or scars or rattlers or anyone for that matter is going to change that. I wanted to write a review because I believe this game is so much more than just a game. I wanted to give it the justice it deserved. I am sorry that people are having issues with characters or story line or whatever it is but I just think their perception is slightly blinded by the hurt they may have felt. I did have some pretty high expectations but this game blew right past them. I am so sad it is over but so glad I got to go through it. So anyways, I hope whoever is reading this, whether they have or have not played the game, just keep an opened mind. We all got to be apart of an amazing journey and that is that part we cannot forget. Thank you for you time.… Expand

    Pra mim o melhor jogo já feito.
    Mas minha crítica para the last of us 2 é que jogamos muito com a Abby e não com a Ellie,o joga tem que ter o foco na Ellie sempre.

    The game is technically impressive and delivers a solid and heavy story, giving depth to the consequences related to the first game. It suffers a bit from pacing in some parts, but its achievemments are still worthy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's weirdly funny and sad at the same time reading the users reviews haha. You can see how much self centered and spoiled people are nowadays. People describe the entire story without understanding nothing about it. Always the same: "destroyed the characters", "doesn't do what fans wanted/waited", "too much political agenda"bla bla bla. First: the theme of the game is hate, revenge, ambiguity and consequences. But overall, how hate destroy people and those who surround them. So yes, the characters that we love from the first game were destroyed in terrible ways to show us the consequence of giving into such a negative feeling. Of course it was annoying playing as Abby after what happened. And that was the point. The team behind the game knew exactly what they were doing. They didn't try to make us "like" Abby, just to show us how similar she was to Joel and that the only reason we love him and hate her, is because of perspectives and proximity, not because of the people they are. Ellie sees that in the end, she sees in Abby and Lev exactly the same stuff that happened with Joel and herself. Speaking about the end, lots of people crying like spoiled kids, saying that they at least wanted to "choose". Undestand this: that is ellie's story, not yours, not mine. And guess what, ellie wanted to kill Abby too, she didn't forgave her and will never do. She just sees joel and herself reflected on Abby and lev, got maturity and decides that she doesn't want to be a person like Abby and Joel, who put their egoistic feeling (whether it be love or hatred) in front of their own humanity. After all, that was all the problem between ellie and Joel, she couldn't accept that he did the terrible thing he did in the end of the first game just because of the feelings he had for her. Joel was a monster who tried to redime himself through Ellie. Same way Abby became a monster in her path of vengeance and tries to redime herself through Lev and Yara. Ellie just realizes that cycle and decided (unfortunately too late, maybe) that she didn't want to be like them. The game is uncomfortable, maybe even frustrating sometimes, bitter. But that is perfect to make you feel like Ellie and Abby do. You can feel how tendentious we are, here, in real life. And for that, we can realize that in those circumstances, most likely we would do the same terrible things those three characters did. The game speaks a lot about ourselves, our egoistic tendencies. It's a honest mirror, and maybe because of that, so much people can't stand it. Finally, about the political stuff in the game, it's ridiculous that people here say that "game is not place for that". Game is, before everything, art. And there is no better place for questioning, representing and expressing opinions than in art. That's why art stands for. And of course, it includes above all the political themes since they are so important to people and society. To me, the best thing about this game is to throw in our faces the clear message: Things you like are not necessarily good or better, and things that you dislike are not necessarily bad or worse. In fact, good or bad depends all of perspective. It can seem cliche message for a well lettered and reasonable person (rare stuff nowadays), but the geniality of the game is in letting us feel our annoy and anger while playing as abby, feel our frustration with ellie letting her alive. Just to realize later how hypocrit we are for feeling those feelings, since Joel and Abby did almost the same thing (he did worse, actually) and Abby left Ellie alive TWICE, even after she killed all her friends and the person she loved. All that said, the game to me is obviously a 10, because I love art pieces that are capable of making me questioning myself in a deep and honest way. But if you are a spoiled person incapable to do so, or if you just seek for uncompromised entertainment, tham I say to you: The Last of Us Part all is not for you. And the developers made it very clear since the beginning.… Expand

En las horas que llevo jugadas, veo bastante bien llevada la trama y el desarrollo de los personajes. Creo que se    The Last Of Us: Part 2- Reseña sin spoilers

    Tiempo jugado: Terminado

    Dificultad: Dificil

    -Historia: Es sabido que The Last Of Us se caracteriza por una gran historia desde su primera entrega, por eso veo este un punto de gran importancia en la calidad del videojuego. En las horas que llevo jugadas, veo bastante bien llevada la trama y el desarrollo de los personajes. Creo que se manejan los tiempos de una buena manera y logra transmitir lo que busca. Este juego trata de tocarnos las emociones de distintas formas y el manejo de esto se lleva de una manera natural y fluida. Los personajes tienen un buen armado, tal como en la primera parte, y Ellie toma una mayor relevancia de una forma que no se nota forzada.

    -Ambientación: Realmente, veo este punto como algo destacar sin lugar a dudas. Hay un cambio respecto a la primera parte, el cual está muy bien logrado, con mapas más amplios y un mundo adueñado por la naturaleza. Creo que Naughty Dog le dio una gran importancia a esto, con el fin de darle más realismo a la trama, y esto se nota. El entorno va cambiando desde lugares oscuros y sombríos, hasta lugares plagados de árboles y plantas. Nada que reprochar.

    -Graficos: Era sabido que este juego iba tener un motor gráfico de primer nivel. Tanto en juego, como en cinemáticas, los gráficos son impecables, y logran plasmar lo que los personajes quieren hacer o transmitir. Uno de los mejores de la generación en este campo.

    -Banda Sonora: Otro apartado en el que The Last Of Us: Part 2 destaca. La banda sonora, si bien no es algo en el que el jugador tenga el foco de atención, colabora muchísimo a la experiencia de este juego. De una forma sutil, ayuda con la transmisión del mensaje que pretende dar este juego, tanto en escenas de suspenso, como en otras más emocionantes.

    -Mejora de habilidades: La esencia es muy parecida a la del primer juego y creo que es una buena decisión, ya que cumple con el estilo de supervivencia que tiene The Last Of Us. De todas formas, lo que cambiaría, sería el sistema de mejoras con pastillas, ya que no resulta tan realista como lo puede ser la creación de objetos con elementos que se encuentran en el entorno.

    -Jugabilidad: Si bien en su primera entrega la jugabilidad no era precisamente lo más destacado, creo que hubo una mejoría en este juego. Tanto en combate como en exploración, hay múltiples agregados nuevos que agrandan el arco de posibilidades del jugador, siendo importante la toma de decisiones y el uso de estrategias en combate para avanzar en la historia y, que además, concuerdan con el marco realista que se le quiere dar a este juego. El combate es entretenido y requiere un mínimo de habilidad para conseguir progresar. Lo único que reprocharía en este punto, es la duración de algunos combates, ya que llega un momento en el que se puede volver tedioso pelear contra una cantidad tan absurda de enemigos. De todas formas, más que aprobado.

    -Conclusion: El juego está a la altura del primero, incluso mejor, a falta de terminarlo obviamente. Si el primer juego te gustó, este también debería hacerlo. A menos que seas GAYMER.

    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]
