    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The 1 is for the graphics, that's the only good part of this game. Gameplay's pretty much the same from The Last of Us 1, no revolutionary way they made it more fun. Now, onto why it's terrible, the story's beyond **** Joel is the hero everyone adores from the first game, the way they killed him was terrible, he's supposed to be a seasoned veteran in no world would he be that stupid to die because he was too careless. Joel kills Abby's father, that's why Abby kills Joel, that reason was revealed so much later that it should've been, what we got was Joel saves Abby's life then Abby brutally murders him. That alone makes everyone hate Abby, then for them to make us PLAY as Abby for hours and hours is pathetic.… Expand

    É um ótimo jogo, as mecânicas são ótimas, os personagens são bons, o que pode estragar a experiência e o final mas esse jogo não merece uma nota menor do que essa.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll start with the obvious, no game is perfect. But many people seem to be overly negative, and I think this game is definitely a 9.8

    To begin, I'd summarize this game to be the perfect sequel to what it meant, Joel's selfish deadly love act to keep Ellie.
    You learn to see a story through your own eyes, if you know why you made a bad choice you can justify it. Sure you wouldn't want others to do it, but you were different. You had a good reason.
    The game dives into this quite hard, and this will hit like a sledge hammer. Any writer should be proud to have written something so meaningful. Everything build together so wonderfully.

    Music was always linked to Joel, and by the end, Ellie has learned Joel's love, and his anger. Loosing her musical fingers severs her from music, now what that means exactly is up to yourself, to me it seems like it allows her to grief. But to you that may mean something different, and that's a great key of writing, the meaning depends on your experience. But it's a tough thing for sure to involve yourself in this story. My hat is off to the writers though.    … Expand

    What a game. What an experience. This game is the best game I've ever played. I can't tell why people are hating this game and his ending. In my opinion this game is better than the first one.

    Uma jogo excelente em gráficos e narrativa. Um enredo muito corajoso e que causa várias reflexões. Se dividir em episódios de 60 minutos você terá uma excelente série nos moldes da HBO, Hulu, Amazon ou Netflix. Valeu cada centavo investido.

    If you love first game - do not waste you time and money. The only good thing in this is music, everything else, which we loved so much from 1st game is gone and buried under empty shells of characters and stupid plot twists.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion this game is a very good game but not a perfect game. There are a few bugs but that's not such a problem. The story has went a new way of story telling. The ending is not a happy ending but its like okay **** what did I in the last 25-30 hours?! Was it worth? Another point is that the last 3 hours of playing the game is not such good as in the begining oder middle.… Expand

    Sounds 10/10
    Every thing is really good . About story , it could be better but the writer used a diffrent method of telling the story and that when you finish the game make you love it or hate it . I loved that cuz it show us a halfway story in the first and countinue it to complate it in the end in a new and maybe a nice method . But the destiny of some chracters maybe not good for every but it is what happend in a fully vengeans way and its what the writer want .    … Expand

    Bellissimo gioco con trama spettacolare, personaggi realistici e vivi, mondo di gioco vario e un evoluzione della trama inaspettata, gameplay a mio parere innovativo, rispetto al primo capitolo ce un netto miglioramento del gunplay, accetto le svolte di trama e il finale.

    The good: The graphics clearly pushed the industry forward, but I would argue that Death Stranding accomplished the same quality so I don't give it many points for being a tech demo.
    The meh: Gameplay is rehashed and polished from the first game but still feels dated. The forced political choices more interested in pushing a message than creating a good game.
    The bad: I'll break this    The good: The graphics clearly pushed the industry forward, but I would argue that Death Stranding accomplished the same quality so I don't give it many points for being a tech demo.
    The meh: Gameplay is rehashed and polished from the first game but still feels dated. The forced political choices more interested in pushing a message than creating a good game.
    The bad: I'll break this down as best I can but TLDR the story and characters fundamentally fail on nearly every aspect. So spoilers ahead.
    1. Lets talk about the elephant in the room, Abby kills Joel within the first few hours of gameplay due to his brothers frankly ridiculous mistake of sharing his full name. This is the decades through the apocalypse survivor who wouldn't be the slightest bit cautious when he knew people were looking for him... Evidently.
    2. Shifting perspectives, after Joel is killed we eventually get to play as Abby... for ten hours... What I like many others did was run the killer right into a clicker as I'm sure many others did. Why? Because I played through an entire game that I loved as the character that Abby unceremoniously murdered. I am made to feel over time that Joel was a bad guy for dismantling the Fireflies. But issues with that.
    1.1 If you listen through the first games recordings they had many other cases where they thought they could create a vaccine with. All of them were killed, none of them produced a vaccine, Ellie very well could have been killed for nothing.
    1.2 Worse yet, it is impossible to create a vaccine with that small of a team in that small of a facility, on a global scale it would take 1-10 years based purely on how lucky they got.
    1.3 And the final most important reason, I didn't care when I did it. I care about the little girl who Joel had been taking care of for the past couple dozen hours of my life. Do I care about the people who would just as readily shoot as help me, no.
    3. Really weird sex scene out of nowhere in the middle of the game while other Sony products are bashed for having 'sexy' outfits.
    4. The lazy attempt to make me understand Abby, the villain in my humble opinion, just by throwing me in their shoes. This is contrived to make the story complex and powerful, but instead becomes a lazy way to extend gameplay. When thinking about ways to do this better I thought of Horizon Zero Dawn, Helis's tent had the logs inside which was given a bit lazier than spreading them out to piece together over time, but it was still a way to understand someone who killed the father figure without empathizing with them. This doesn't do that, this says hey you know how Ellie is a rage ball of revenge, well here's another rage ball of revenge empathize with her over the one you spent the whole last game and the lions share of this game with.
    5. Finally the ending "Boss" fight. You play as Abby not Ellie, you are not allowed to get Abby killed. Abby almost kills Ellie's pregnant girlfriend and says good when she learns that fact. (I don't care that Ellie inadvertently killed her pregnant friend.) Then once again at the actual ending you track down Abby have her underwater about to die when suddenly, oh violence bad comes in and suddenly hey I know I've killed hundreds of people to get here but yeah lets let them go. Then they have the balls to have a cut scene with Joel just to make you really regret spending money on this tech demo written as a tumblr fanfiction trying to be deep but instead being shallow and infuriating.
    This isn't undertale, this isn't dishonored, and this isn't Detroit Become Human. This isn't a pacifist game going into the issues of violence. It's a revenge game and with all the set up to this point you can't just say violence bad and end it. Kill Abby give the player that catharsis, then give them the time to reflect on it after. It would make you wonder if the revenge was worth all the bodies left behind in a world already in an apocalypse, ponder if Joel would have wanted it, and whether you can live with the emptiness it leaves behind. But instead this game left me hollow, it broke my heart not that Joel died but that he died in such a stupid way. And it destroyed me to have to watch such a great studio as Naughty Dog who created some of my favorite games, burn because of terrible writing. It's the end of an era with this game and I hope it can regain glory but for now it looks like it will go down in a whimper and I'm so disappointed.    … Expand

    Normally i would score this game a 8, but because of al the 0's given, i give it a 10. The game isn't perfect, the story isn't perfect, but the gameplay en the emotions that come with it are impressive. Some people are dissapointed and i get it, but the **** this game is getting is ridiculous.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm about 15 hours into the game and the gameplay is GREAT, but the story seems a bit forced.... It's very unbelievable that Tommy (a bad ass ex firefly and Hitman that killed thousands of infected and militia) and Joel ("the madman" that killed thousands of people with ease and lived over 30 years in the apocalypse without much trouble) gets themselves killed from a handful of Wolf's... And alongside that, ellie had more than enough time to pull the trigger after opening the door. This all seems like it's forced upon the player to just accept it because it is what it is... And they wanted a revenge story that's not fitting to the story what so ever. I love the gameplay, I like the new characters, I don't mind the romance, buuuuuut it could have all happened with Joel.... The story just seems rushed, which is strange, because they had more than enough time to create one fitting to the first part. Call it a theory, but I would bet money on it that they had a different story and mid development they had/wanted to change it. I will continue to enjoy the game, but Mr. Niel should respect the fans that aren't gay bashing the game and accept our honest opinions!… Expand

    Игра сильно разочаровала. Хоть я и понял посыл сценаристов о "недосказанности и самообмане" оно того не стоило. Сюжет можно было продумать в разы интереснее и не делать картонных персонажей, каким ты "якобы сопереживаешь".Игра сильно разочаровала.

    A good continuation to the masterpiece that is Last of us. Graphics, animations, map design and sound is superb, best in any game out there right now. Story is okay but the pacing is unfortunately a bit iffy. Which drags down the score to an 8.

    It's sad how there are so many fake reviews on here. There comes a point where a game is objectively above a certain score

    Actually my note would be a 7 out of 10 but it is not correct, the game takes you from one side to the other. You have to understand that humanity is always disgusting for it "Truth Is Stronger Than Fiction" and although this closely resembles Reality does not leave it for you or me, it has several flaws in empathy towards the characters.

    Play it.

I give the score of 8/10 because the game has impressive details, but as a gamer I am not so prepared for the humanization they gave to the game. maybe in a few years I will be able to give a 10/10 to this beautiful game. In my opinion if you want to do a part 3, go back to the feeling you put in the first game, otherwise it is better to leave the story here.

    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.
