There were moments where you were forced to do things you didn't want to do. Then there were some of the best performed moments that take your breath away. I can not argue with all the (industry) critics rating this game a 5/5 or 10/10.

    To the people who jumped on the bandwagon bad mouthing this game since the leaks came out: Put aside all your biased opinions and play this game with an open mind.    … Expand

When you arrive in Seattle you use a map which at first is a little annoying but you’ll get used to it (you only use for about an hour or so), 3. The clickers, the can somehow spot you even if you’re not moving and that can be annoying at times. Let’s talk about the things I like, 1. The story, it’s starts off kinda boring but once a major event happens it starts to pick up, 2. The crafting system, while it’s not what I’m used too it still does it’s job, 3. The enemies, instead of your normal clickers, runners, and bloaters there’s also shambles and stalkers the two new zombie types are really fun and it adds a bit more of a challenge. In the game you’re introduced to two new factions the WLF (Washington Liberation Front) and the scars, the WLF is like the military and can be very challenging at times and the scars they’re not bad I just came across them not too long ago but they were easy to kill. If you’re cautious about buying this game I highly recommend it I've played a lot of games with good stories and this one is the second best. It’s a great game and I think you’ll enjoy spending time with the character (Ellie) that you grew to love in The Last of Us part 1.… Expand

    The negative reviews of this game can only be disingenuous. Just because you don't like a story line or the themes explored, cannot warrant you giving the game ridiculously low scores.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Doesn't deserve the flak it got.
    Why people didn't like it and my refute:

    -"Ellie changed too much". Who has the same personality when they were 14 as they did when they were 19, not accounting for trauma and PTSD and what that does to a person (and puberty).
    -"The Death of _____ was done in a poor/un-heroic manner". The truth hurts and so does reality. This game was meant to be a Grimm parallel to if this was reality. Nobody is immune to death and that's what makes it great. The early death in this game prepares you and gives you that underlying feeling that anyone could die at any moment. There are no beloved protagonists in reality and nobody is immune to dying in the most stupid ways possible. If I was in the apocalypse I would probably make it to day 50 before ripping off a hangnail and dying of blood-loss or something ridiculously stupid like that (I know it's not really possible, it's an analogy), and that's reality.
    - The Story sucks. This is the most widespread criticism and one that I can't refute nor confirm. After playing through the game twice, I honestly loved the story. There are flaws as with any game but liking or hating the story is a matter of opinion. I, like most, hated Abby with every fiber of my being- even after playing her for a few hours! It wasn't until the end of Abby's playthrough that I realized I actually started to empathize with her which brings and inner-conflict to the player that I can appreciate.
    - "SJWs agenda/Ellie is gay so the game is bad". Get over yourselves.    … Expand

    One of my favorite experiences of this entire generation of games. Takes all of the most interesting elements and decisions of the first and builds on and gives them consequences and weight. Excellent gameplay and set pieces combined with an interesting and harrowing story.

    Definitely a game worth experiencing for yourself!

    I absolutely LOVED this game! I laughed at times, I was shocked at times, I cried at times. I was invested in this game wholeheartedly with the characters, the gameplay, the environment and the story. One of the best experiences i've had playing a game. This game and the first are Masterpieces in my eyes.

    I just hope that Neil Druckmann will define the success of the game not by local estimates, but by sales. And all this nonsense will not affect him, and he will continue to create the games like this one. Best game I've played in years. Neil, just do it. Sorry my bad English, but l know you understand that i try to say.

    Perfeito! Nada do que se espera, para um fã dos personagens, mas uma história coerente sobre consequências. Ótima construção de personagens. Jogo tecnicamente perfeito, para mim: gráficos, ambientação, jogabilidade, recursos, sem falar das expressões faciais perfeitas. Para quem gosta de imersão emhistorias bem contadas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us 2 é literalmente uma obra de arte, eu não conseguir receber o jogo na semana do lançamento e sinceramente eu fiquei preocupada com o jogo em questão de história, mas depois de jogar eu percebi que essa chuva de hate nas avaliações do jogo são no mínimo de pessoas que não jogaram ou não conseguiram entender a história. As críticas são na maioria bem rasas e escritas de maneiras bem superficiais, por exemplo a morte de Joel, eu vi muita gente falando que ele morreu de uma forma bem merda em relação a maneira que ele agia no primeiro jogo, a situação que a Naughty Dog criou foi claramente proposital, dois irmãos cercados por uma horda de zumbis salvam uma estranha e aceitam ir com ela a um local seguro ao invés de morrer em questão de minutos, único erro foi ele ter citado o próprio nome, o jeito que ele morreu foi feito daquele maneira pra te deixar com raiva, o jogo dá metade do seu tempo pra você entender que só porque você jogou um tempo com o Joel em a Ellie não quer dizer que a escolha que ELES fizeram é necessariamente a correta, não existe herói nem vilão, a Ellie não fez todo aquele caminho a toa. O jogo inteiro mostra de diversas maneiras e simbologias diferentes que matar a Abby não vai levar a nada, tanto quanto a morte do Joel não diminuiu a dor que a Abby sentia pela morte do pai e continuou tendo os mesmos pesadelos, e se você parar pelo menos por um segundo pra pensar o trauma da Abby querendo ou não deveria ter sido bem maior do que o da Ellie, alias além de ter perdido o próprio o pai, o Joel tirou dela a sua família e a Ellie seus amigos, e depois de tudo isso a Abby ainda conseguir ter a virtude do perdão, eu não disse que o Joel é o vilão da história, mas no ponto de vista da Abby é a conclusão mais razoável que uma pessoa pode tomar, todo mundo que jogou o primeiro jogo consegue entender os motivos do Joel e jogando essas horas com a Abby se você não for uma pessoal totalmente egocêntrica você consegue entender o lado da Abby

    Minhas notas finais do jogo são
    gráficos 10/10 - PS4 PRO
    Red Dead Redemption 2 e TLOU 2 conseguem juntos alcançar o título de os jogos com os melhores gráficos do século.
    história 10/10
    jogabilidade/combate 10/10
    Conseguiram resgatar alguns aspectos do primeiro jogo e adicionar novos, como o silenciador e algumas novas armas, já em relação ao combate é bem mais difícil que o primeiro jogo, bem mais aberto e flexível, as dificuldades condizem com as escolhidas.
    trilha sonora 10/10
    De verdade se eu tivesse dinheiro eu faria uma estátua do Santaolalla e o Mac Quayle deixaria na meu quarto, meu amigo que trilha sonora perfeita, combina muito bem com os ambientes escolhidos e é bem agradável.
    detalhes 1000000000000000000000000000000000000/10
    a quantidade de detalhes que eles adicionaram no jogo é tão fantástica que te faz esquecer um pouco a história só pra procurar mais.

    Geral 10/10
    Único ponto aberto a divisão é a narrativa, que apesar de ter sido bem hateada na opinião é perfeita.    … Expand

I played the game twice through back to back and I was so excited once I got to Abby's story for the second time once I had actually come around on the character. I can't believe how many negative reviews I've seen and the amount of people who didn't like the story. It makes me so sad to see such backlash to an amazing and progressive story but with the state of the world right now I'm not super surprised. It seems like more and more bigotry and hatred is coming out every day and my faith in humanity has been diminished all the while. This game is an absolute masterpiece and anyone who doesn't agree hasn't given it a chance to tell the story they so elegantly designed and executed. I'm appaled by anyone who can give this game a negative review. Almost anyone who honestly thinks this game is bad is not the type of person you should keep in your life as all of the hate for the game that I've seen has come from hatred towards the LGBT community and that is unacceptable in this day and age.… Expand

    This game needs to be played by those who can understand how the real world works but not by those who always want a good ending.

    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]
