    I already explained in my youtube channel why I believe in giving this game a 10, you may disagree with me and that is fine, but I have the right to give this game what I think it deserves, and for me is a solid 10.

The game is a master piece despite what review bombers say, they story is understandably conflicting and probably make you angry at certain points of the game. But what people fail to see is that exactly what it's meant to do, make you feel angry, upset etc. What I took away from this game is one there is always two side to a story, and probably more importantly actions have consequences and the first two hours of the game show you the action you took in the last game could and probably will catch up to you and the theme stays present through out the game all the way into the final act. The gameplay is second to non and is for me the best game I have played in along time regardless if the story, but then again what to you expect from a naughty dog game… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 set out to ask one question: "Why is your violence more justified than mine?" and as I saw the credits roll I came to realize that everyone at NaughtyDog did a stellar job at answering it.

    This game isn't just a great piece of entertainment, it's a necessary one.
    No game is perfect but aside some pacing and side content issues this one is very close to it.

    An absolute masterclass in game design and story telling. Not just game of the year, not just game of the generation, this could be the greatest game of all time. Beautifully written story with intense game play. Don't let the haters have you fooled, this is one you need to play to appreciate.

    This game is really the worst.
    The game play in the previous work is...
    If you've only given me the parts I need,
    I think this game is filled with useless parts.

Eu adorei o jogo tanto pelos gráficos,enrendo, jogabilidade e a história em si, mas eu não entendo o motivo dos jogadores terem um grande ódio pelo jogo, quando Abby mata Joel fiquei furioso e tinha sede de vingança, mas com o passar da história essa sede que eu possuía foi perdendo razão e ela se terminou por completo quando o jogo nos coloca na pele de Abby vendo o mundo por outros olhos, que ela era mais uma pessoa em meio ao um apocalipse estava tentando sobreviver, com razão ela tinha motivos para matar Joel por ter matado seu pai, privado o mundo de uma possível cura pra humanidade fora de ter matado outras pessoas por egoísmo, na cena em que entramos no quarto de Abby isso caiu a ficha pra mim, tanto Ellie como Abby estavam apenas agindo da maneira como elas achavam que era a correta, isso é uma questão de moral e perspectiva. E o jogo não tem motivos pra recebe tanto ódio e muito menos ameaçar e fazer comentários ofensivos sobre aqueles que ajudaram a produzir o jogo.… Expand

    The story is actually really good, people just need to get over it and what happens and actually take in the games story for what it is. If you are holding off buying it then don't, buy the physical COMPLETE the game not just the first part and throw your dummy out and then if you don't like it sell it.

    Naughty Dog has done it in this game, The graphics, gameplay and audio, all are top-notch. The only thing I don't like is how sudden and how Joel dies. I think they could've done it better but maybe that"s what they wanted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People who hate on this game and say that it is poorly written is clearly stuck with Hollywood endings. This is a post-apocalyptic world where it is dark and unsafe. I really really appreciate how this game is so close to reality especially how amazing the graphics and sounds are. It is true that the way ND told the story may not work for everybody but it worked for me. I was so emotionally attached to the characters, though there are some that need more spotlight like Jesse. But nonetheless, I was wrecked for days after playing it.

    Like what Neil explained Joel felt safe for years, he got used in saving people and bringing them in Jackson. After many years of feeling safe and comfort, of course, there will be moments where you'll let your guard down. Besides, though his intentions of saving Ellie is good but let's face it, what he did was wrong.... killing a bunch of people and loses the chance of having a cure. ND left us with Part 1 thinking if Joel's actions were justifiable. It felt so badass and right at the time so it didn't matter until we got a part 2. In this world, you will not die in a heroic/honorable way you imagined, you just die and sometimes it is because of the choices you made in the past.

    I understand that it would be very difficult to play as Abby after what just happened. I even killed her on purpose in the first few minutes but in order to really feel and fully experience what ND prepared for us, we just have to have an open mind. I honestly got tired playing as her after her Day 1 and really want to be back as Ellie but again, I allowed myself to experience the game and the emotions. Only at the theater scene I realized I was attached to Abby. I didn't want her to die but I also didn't want Ellie to die (but I let Ellie shoot Abby a few times just to get even haha). ND really did a bold move there, letting players think that you'd kill Ellie as Abby. It tore me apart, I was so confused. Every punch hurts. But that is also brilliant! Never have I played a game that made me feel that way, that played with my emotions like that.

    Ellie already have a great life with Dina and JJ until Tommy showed up. I was shocked to see that many people didn't get why Ellie chose to go after Abby. I mean given the trauma she has, the mock she received from Tommy and knowing that there is still this lingering feeling in your chest that you could do something to make it stop. That is enough reason to blindside me of what is in front of me and what I have to lose. And people ask why she didn't kill Abby? Did you guys look how shook she was after killing Nora, Owen and Mel? And look at Abby and Lev. Ellie knows she's not a bad person and killing Abby will lose the last humanity left in her. Joel wouldn't want this for her too.

    Sometimes, we think that what we are doing is right but you'll only realize that it is wrong once you are there at that very moment.

    I think that's what happened, that's why she didn't do it. It's just depressing to see that she had to lose everything to see that. But that's what makes this game so realistic. In reality, you make bad decisions and you face the consequences.    … Expand

    The game is amazing. It has it's flaws but the emotional experience that you get playing this game is on another level. Naughty Dog has been very creative in this game's storytelling and everything else is the best in the industry. Hats off to the developers and Actors. A must play for PlayStation 4 owners.

    I played many of Naughty Dog's games during the lockdown. Before playing Last of Us 2 I played Last of Us. The gameplay is very very similar, and most of the modification to the gameplay seems to have come from the Uncharted series. The graphics are a bit better than Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy I think, but I still think recent Uncharted were better looking than the Last of Us 2, because well,I played many of Naughty Dog's games during the lockdown. Before playing Last of Us 2 I played Last of Us. The gameplay is very very similar, and most of the modification to the gameplay seems to have come from the Uncharted series. The graphics are a bit better than Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy I think, but I still think recent Uncharted were better looking than the Last of Us 2, because well, they showed exotic locations instead of a deplorable situation that the world finds themselves in the Last Of Us universe. When you play as a character in car (when the Scars chase you) also seems to be straight out of Uncharted series. Similarly characters swimming to the Aquarium in a storm seems to be out Uncharted 4 (when Drake swims to the island). So overall the gameplay is nothing new, but combined from multiple games. The gameplay it is still very solid if you isolate the game and treat it as an independent unit. The only addition I liked to the gameplay was the ability to play the guitar in the game. The sound, music, the whole atmosphere is really great. So I would really like to commend the efforts of the developers at Naughty Dog for their tremendous efforts.

    The storyline was really a let down in this game. I think this stems from the higher positioned personnel in the company. I am reading positive reviews where people complain that some negative reviews didn't not like the characters because of their sexuality etc. I think that is definitely not the case for majority of the people. I really liked Lost Legacy with two central female characters, and I loved the Last of Us DLC. The character development in TLOU2 is rather poor for the new characters, and the old characters seems to be stagnated. I really do think, that playing as Ellie throughout the game would have been much better, and having a DLC for Abby would have made much more sense. But anyways these poor decisions should be aimed at people at higher positions (who make these kind of decisions, such as directors, writers) rather than personnel who make the vision and decision for the game come to fruition (such as the software developers, the voice actors, the music directors etc. They really did a fantastic job with an average recipe, namely the story, they had at hand).

    Naughty Dog thrive on the story of the game and the way it is told. This was a really poor attempt at story telling, absolutely shambles. The overall rating of the game for me would thus be 3.

    The efforts of the general cast of the game (the developers, the voice actors, the sound and music composers etc.) - 10/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *heavy sigh* I never thought I would have to say this, but Naughty Dog did not deliver in The Last of Us Part II. The story was weak at best with a lot of plot-holes, nothing compelling to keep me interested at times, and poor character writing. I was a huge fan of The Last of Us because of its compelling story, crafting system, combat, world exploration, and amazing character development. The Last of us Part II only had a fraction of these elements.
    The crafting and supplement system was greatly improved and seeing Ellie/Abby physically craft the weapon upgrades was great. Combat mechanics and AI were greatly improved as well with new enemy call-outs, flanking, and rushing made it a challenge to beat. The world exploration was amazing as the environments were beautifully crafted. Naughty Dog, simply put, created the most beautiful looking game for the PS4. It was phenomenal to experience. However, in a game that is STORY driven, the STORY takes a majority of the points since it makes up the entire game. The story is supposed to make the player continue playing even if they have been playing for 4-5 hours already because they need to know what happens next. That didn't happen for me. It was much easier to leave the story and disconnect from the characters because of the way it was presented.
    There was way too many inconsistencies with previous characters such as Joel and Tommy, and not enough time spent on new characters that Naughty Dog pushed us to like an sympathize with. It just didn't work. It did not make sense that a group of WLF mercenaries would leave two people alive that had a deep connection to Joel. That is a huge plot hole and convenience that wasn't thought through. They should have just killed ellie and tommy and ended the game right there. You cannot take a character that was beloved by everyone that played The Last of Us and kill him off in a way that spits on the entirety of the character we know to be true. I also want to say that I think Abby would have been a great character and her dynamic with Lev could have been very compelling. However, there was not a lot of build-up for those two for us to sympathize and empathize with their situations.Abby and Lev would have needed a game of their own in my opinion. By including Joel and Ellie, the whole story felt really rushed and forced on us. its as if the writing team said, "The character you love dearly has been killed (very disrespectfully to boot) and now you have to like the character that did that killing without any previous context or character development prior to her killing your favourite character." That alone makes no sense. If you are going to write Joel and Ellie into a new game, fans of the game are going to ROOT for those two. Not only do you KILL one of them but you leave the other BROKEN, ALONE, and WITHOUT ANY PAYOFF/REVENGE. "The theme of the game is that senseless killing is wrong", you do know that we killed thousands of WLF agents and EVERYONE from abby's friend group, right? To let abby live at the end of the game is a spit in the face of Joel, Ellie, Fans, and the story. There is also the issue of Naughty Dog lying to us with pre-release trailers on what to expect from the game. They told us one thing, and gave us something else. Lying like that is morally wrong especially when it is to people that are going to purchase the game. When you purchase a game on the pretext of what is promised and are given something that isn't in line, that is wrong. The last positive thing i will say about this game is the soundtrack, Gustavo Santaolalla has out done himself again and created a wonderful soundtrack.    … Expand

    The game, especially this story, is a big disappointment for me. The guiding principle of the Americans is always revenge. Too bad that the author was treated so badly. I would have loved to play her second part. These extremely good press ratings are probably attributed to the sjw. Btw my criticism has nothing to do with playing women. I also played tomb raider and horizon and found them great.

    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]
