    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really had a blast with this game. The story in my opinion worked for the most part, as i grew to like some of the newer characters like Abby, their stories and their actions. It was both emotionally and impactful and the end left me absolutely stubborn. I loved it. Not only does the game look and sound incredible, but i am so blown away for what Naughty Dog has brought to table. This is a game that has to be experienced before it can be judged.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2... and why I think its one of my favorite game of all time.
    CONS :The shock DEATHS, for example Jesse and Yara deaths they just leave me after the shock feeling like what I had done was for nothing. The first games had some of these as well
    I think the pacing is really bad but I don t think I could've done it better or someone else for the story it is trying to tell. For example I would've done everything chronological but NO, we would've seen what Ellie is doing in 2033 then 2034 then 2036 then what happends a few days after that and then Ellie kissing with DIna and the rest so NO. You would've forgotten every of those moments by the end of the game. And those flashbacks actually have critical role for the moment they are put in. So now getting to the pros.
    Pros: I think the story is very good overall. I don't think the main theme is revenge and is about forgivness and overall the good in humanity. A lot of people are mad about Joel dying either early either "stupid" or that he didn t have a hero death witch is just stupid he is an anti hero ffs, From what we know from the first game is that he only care about himself and the ones that he loves. I thought the first game forgot something but it didnt. The first actual scene where we can see that from Joel is right at the begining before Sarah dies, when he leaves behind a hopeless family in the street. So no I didn t have a problem with Joel not heroic death we still get a lot of momets between him and Ellie after and he wasn t stupid I mean it was too far for them to go back to Jackson and is not like those guys had a firefly band on them and not WLF. And NO there is no plot hole. Abby was actually searching for Tommy, Joel brother cause she knew he was in Jackson it is said in one of the flashbacks. BUT PEOPLE wheren't paying attention to that cause now we don t get to have a villain backstory cuz she just killed our main character ? Come on is just SO STUPID. So Ellie wants to get revenge and she goes and kills Abby's friends to get information about her location. In these moments we see how Ellie gets more comfortable with killing like Joel how his death had an impact on her, IT IS JUST SO GOOD. Then we get to see why Abby killed Joel and that her revenge on him left her with nobody cause now all her friends are dead. We also get some cute bonding moments between her and Lev. She goes after Ellie but she doesn t end up killing her or Dina when she looks at Lev. And Lev is the good part about Abby, he is the motive she tried being a good person. Then after two years at a moment when Ellie was with Dina at a farmhouse, Ellie decides that she wants to go after Abby again against Dina's opinion. She founds Abby but she didnt killed her cause she reminded THE LAST moment of her and Joel , and I dont know if it was intentionally but she was mad at Joel 2 years as she was at Abby. So after 2 years she finally says to Joel that she is ready to forgive him and that she will be seeing him arround. That moment absolutely broke me cause with was so sad. Thats why I think the game is about forgivness, because of Ellie s revenge she gets left with nobody, Abby gets all her friends killed. Joel who didn t care about humanity and murdered an entire hospital gets hated by Elllie. His death was even sadder that it was right after Ellie was ready to forgive him, I DON T GET WHY PEOPLE COMPLAIN IT IS BAD. The first scene of the game was actually Ellie's dream because she was ready to forgive him and that was a moment when they were in the middle of being close and disconected. I love how the guitar is a conection between them because of that first scene. The last scene actually left me thinking she was ready to leave the memories about him behind and get back to her life.
    SO the story is very good, I don t need to talk about the combat cause is soo good the exploring is much better the graphics, the views
    So my rating for The Last of Us Part II is 9,7/10
    stop hating it cause Joel didn t die how or when you wanted. I feel like some people liked the first game and got the impression that now they know everything about writting. I can tell you that the first game had some bad **** in it as well, I mean Tess death doesn't serve other purpose other than for Joel to continue his journey with Ellie cause otherwise he wouldn't have done that. But then anyway he decides to let her with Tommy so yeah Tess death was just as Jesse and Yara death. Sam and Henry the same I mean it s sad and everything but even after seeing it has no impact in the final decision of Joel at the end at the hospital so yeah we can now ,if the user s socre say so, stay and find some bad **** in every video game rather than seeing what it's beautiful about them. Others just now found out that the characters are not the theirs, and the developer's    … Expand

    The game is great and i've actually finished it.
    Other than some minor pacing issues this game is a step up from everything that made the first one great. Can't wait to see what ND does next on PS5.
    Thank you ND for this game

    This is yet another experience I hesitate to call a game. The craftsmanship and polish is unlike anything I've ever seen before.

The craftsmanship and polish is unlike anything I've ever seen before.

    I don't think I've ever been more affected by a video game emotionally in my life and I don't think I will for quite some time. Everything about this experience was mature and adult and so very raw. The characters are more genuine than ANY other zombie style form of media and the direction from Neil Druckman is absolutely masterclass.

    Ellie's character developed between games exactly as you would expect growing up in that world and her actions became increasingly deplorable. You see why she is so filled with hate at the lack of real closure and the survivors remorse she feels knowing her life will never be worth more than what was stolen from her in the original entry.

    When Istarted the game I thought some of the criticisms and negativity I'd heard must have some credence and earnestness to them but the more i played the better I understood the types of people that give this game a low score are unfortunately lacking emotional intelligence. Something I've seen becoming more and more prevalent, and it's devastatingly disheartening.

    People so often lack the mental acumen to be able to discern a dark and harrowing tale from a "BaD StOrY" and it shows. I've read so many 0 or 2 star reviews saying things are just thrown together or make no sense and I just have to shake my head in sorrow at how far these people missed the mark. It's not a case for opinions, it's that this is such a mature, evocative tale that so many people (still a minority, however vocal) simply lack the ability to appreciate...

    I could spend an afternoon detailing everything this game does right, but these things must be experienced for yourself and it was far more important for me to volcalise my thoughts on the negativity this game received and quantify exactly why.

    TLDR-
    Simply put, you wouldn't expect everyone to be able to provide a worthwhile opinion on stem cell research, so you shouldn't expect everyone to be able to provide a worthwhile opinion on an experience that does so much over it's lengthy journey.    … Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is a game of frantic violence and a the quest for revenge. The moment the player gets that sinking feeling of sadness and despair, they now become Ellie and all of the conflicting feelings the player experience the rest of the way. A feat like this is extremely rare in gaming. A huge kudos to Naughty Dog and everyone involved.

    I'ld go with an 9,5/9,6. So I think a 10 is closer to the game's grade in my opinion.

    Such a grate game, one month since I've played and I still catch myself think about it.
    Amazing graphics, superb map design, incredible gameplay, realistic cutscenes, perfect soundtrack and sound effects. The story might desappoint some, but in my opinion it is very valid and groundbreaking

    This game is just amazing !
    I can’t understand all the hate this game is getting. I understand that a specific event may sadden some fans of the original game, but it is no reason to give the extremely low scores.
    No game deserves a 0 out of ten.
    The game is 25-30 hours long. Still, people DESTROY it only few hours after its release. WELL DONE NAUGHTY DOG FOR THE MATURE AND PROFOUND STORY !

    GamePlay bastante fluída e um combate nunca vista no mundo dos games até hoje. A história é bem construída que apesar de ser bem polêmica, trouxe várias reviravoltas e muitas horas de gameplay em deixar bem curioso sobre a trama, com muitos imprevistos.

    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]
