    I can't just say I enjoyed this game
    It was so cruel but I couldn't stop playing
    This is the darkest game I have ever played
    But also one of the greatest game I have ever played

    Game play was okay but the story was HORRIBLE. I will never buy a Naughtydog game again and Sony's behavior relative to this game has convinced me to skip the PS5 and buy the new Xbox.

    Simplesmente sensacional. Qualidade técnica sempre muito alta e com uma história tensa e emocionante.
    Há momentos que poderiam ser explorados mais, porém, não fez falta.

    Para aqueles que estão reclamando que há algum tipo de mistura politica, que os acontecimentos foram estupidos, que a história não faz sentido, que o final foi ruim. Digo que vocês estão errados.

    I am leaving a 10. I don't usually review games but considering the dubious user score this game is receiving I feel like weighing in is the correct option. This game is a masterpiece. Everything, from the story to the gameplay is exceptional. You may disagree with some choices Naughty Dog decided to follow while making this game but it's undeniable that everything feels intentional and well constructed. You may disagree with the decision of killing Joel in the first act but you'd be damn sure saying that Neil Druckmann knew what he was doing when he decided what would happen to Joel. The entire plot revolves around his death, even at thimes when it seems like the game is drifting away from him, you still can see Joel's footprint in whatever the surviving characters are doing. The first Last of Us, like the name suggests, is a deep dive into the human nature and its title is symbolic in Joel's decision of sacrificing humanity for a little girl he'd grown into as a father figure. A selfish act, but a human act nontheless. "Us" is the humanity in Joel's last decision. What makes me feel like this game is such a masterpiece as the first one was is the fact that the spirit of an imperftect humanity that defined the first chapter of the game can be felt massively on this second chapter. If what drove the first game was the spirit of love which could push a man into screwing everyone else for the love of someone else, what drives the second one is hate. Visceral and disgusting hate. A dark, sad and sometimes too invadent part of the human nature that defines us as much as we are defined by love.The story-telling is great. While playing the game I felt numerous times like I didn't know where the story was going to take me, or why some characters wanted to do some things that seemed so bizzare at first, but during the entire playthrough the storyline unfolded more and more to the end, where things clicked right into place. What makes this game so divisive is also what makes this game so great. Some people hate this game entirely because of Abby, wich is entirely understandable, after all she violently kills the father figure you'd learn to love in the first chapter and it seems like the game is pushing you towards liking her, almost if the game hopes we'd forgotten what she did to Joel. But the thing is, the game (and that's the brilliance of this game) doesn't care if you like Abby. To a certain extent this second Last of Us doesn't even care if you like Joel, Dina, Lev or even Ellie. The point of this game is to show you the humanity of each and every one of them. What selfish, dumb and entirely human flaw drives each and every one of them. You're in the crossfire of humans being humans, and the symbolism of the butterfly on Ellie's arm is surreal. Joel could have saved humanity if he'd let his "daughter" die. Abby could have never killed Joel if only she didn't let herself be blinded by the spirit of revenge. Abby's decisions are what eventually led to her faith if she'd never killed Joel, she never would have met Lev and Yara, finding the love sentiment that defined Joel himself. Every character is brilliantly defined and feels like a real human being doing what you or me would have done. You can find love, hate and sadness in every character of the game, but that's the beauty of The Last of Us, there are no good or bad guys, everyone is just a "guys". The characters are three dimensionals in every aspect of themselves. After all is still a game, and what a great game. Naughty dog has a track record of making technically excellent games and this game is no exception. The physics, the graphics, the shooting, the animations and the musics are top notch in this game. Killing a human being is incredibly real and gruesome. It's awesome but also disgusting, it's great. There are times where the game is outright scary, where you are either terrified of fighting humans or infecteds. The AI is phenomenal, and the interaction system between NPCs is surreal.
    The new movement system also makes this game feel like it's from another planet if compared to the first one. I played it on the intermediate difficulty and it still felt more difficult than the first one on Hard mode. Still, the game does have some flaws, the transition between Ellie's story and Abby's story in the middle is a tad chaotic, and it leaves you wondering maybe too much what's happening to Ellie, Dina and Tommy, when the game is focusing on something else entirely. Surely this is one of the things that increase the replay factor of this game. Also, speaking of flaws, I did see a couple of glitches and tiny bugs here and there throughout the playthrough, things that would have slipped away on any other game, but the quality of this game is so high that these little defects stick like a sore thumb. In conclusion, this game IS a masterpiece. It isn’t perfect, but no masterpiece is perfect. I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m only about 16-17 hours in. I’m currently playing as Abby for some reason and hate it. What a horrible design/story choice. Oh, I’m sure it will wrap up in the story somehow at the end, but I don’t even want to get there. It’s such a chore to go through these events as this character. Just mid blowingly bad. Such a beautiful looking game. It plays just fine. It gets repetitive probing around and attacking people, but there’s strategy to it to give some interest. I just can’t stand playing as this character. Ellie was kind of a mess, but I liked the dynamic with her and Dina. This section of the game ruins all that. I hate it. I can’t give it a zero, but it’s bad.… Expand

Bom, como estão falando por aí, TheLastOfUs PartII realmente não é para todos, pois algumas pessoas ficarão revoltadas por causa das consequências da primeira parte, e algumas não estarão preparadas para vê-lo também. Mas em minha opinião, com certeza este é um dos melhores senão o melhor game da geração sem dúvidas. Parabéns à NauthDog por ter feito uma continuação apropriada dessa saga incrível.… Expand

    Really disappointing. The trailer was edited to deceive the players. I understand what the game is trying to do to the players, unfortunately it just didn’t land. A missed opportunity, effort, and time to one of the greatest franchise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The reason that I am giving this a rating of 5/10, is because of the story alone. I really enjoyed the game play and the graphics though. Coming from The Last Of Us, we were not expecting a Part 2, but here we are 7 years later and oh my god. So as I stated, the story is not very good. I know where they were trying to go, but they went about it the wrong way. Not only did they kill off a beloved character (one of the MAIN characters may I add) they didn't even have Ellie kill Abbey. As well as having us play as the killer of JOEL! And they try to make you feel sorry for her! Naughty dog even MISLEAD all the fans of the game by inserting Joel into roles that HE IS NOT IN! Now, I understood about the whole "ending the cycle" of non-stop killing. When you read these reviews on websites about the whole "these people are homophobic or they are incels" and the list goes on. NO! This is not the case for everyone. I have played the ENTIRE game through and i had no issue with LGBT. Most people are negative bombing the game without playing it, and just solely giving reviews on the leaks they see, or they are just agreeing with people who have a bigger following. I actually applaud naughty dog for doing this, BUT DO NOT call the people who don't like the game homophobic, trans-phobic, incels and etc. It just shows how immature these sites are.

    So all in all, It isn't a bad game. Bad story? YES. Good graphics? YES. But we are not allowed to hate the games story without the name calling. It has to stop!

    Thank you and have a nice day!    … Expand

    I could be a little biased because the first game is my favorite game ever made but I think this is almost as good as the first one the first half 10/10 but after a little bit it drops off for a couple of hours and then picks up again, I would rather play the first one but I think this is a worthy competitor to the first game

    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]
