    Jogo cativante com gameplay praticamente perfeita, gráficos muitos realistas e expressões faciais impressionantes. A história de torna incrível e reflexiva para aqueles com maturidade para entender sua complexidade

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the story last night, and I see some of these bad reviews. It is almost like we didn’t play the same game.

    The Last of Us Part 2 captures human faces and emotion like nothing else I have played. The feeling of survival and fighting for your life was insane in the first game, and with this one Naughty Dog cranked it up as far as they could go. Do you remember the scene in 28 Days Later when Jim is running around and desperately fighting the soldiers? That is what the combat feels like, it is intense, savage and probably the most visceral I have ever experienced in a game. No joke- every character has a name, even the dogs- this gives real weight to the violence and makes everything feel more personal.

    One thing I felt about the first game was that there was a lot of fighting against people and less against infected. This one gets the balance perfectly, and the creature designs are horrifying in the best possible way. The fight against the repulsive Rat King in the hospital basement is a boss battle for the ages.

    The exploration and level designs are so detailed and well put together. You can spend hours taking everything in while you search for supplies. Make sure you search everywhere because you might find something that will save you when you next get into a fight. Not only that, but the exploration gives you a chance to further absorb this amazingly detailed and realised world. The graphics are outstanding.

    In a world where we are getting constant re-hashes of female characters from the past- lets give this evil character a sympathetic backstory! The Last of Us 2 gives us two incredible female leads in the form of Ellie and Abby. These are characters who fit perfectly within the morally grey confines of this game world. So many people are going on about how this game is pushing a political agenda- that is ridiculous, and I bet you that these are the guys who always use Ripley from Alien as their only example of a good female character. Okay, maybe they will mention Sarah Connor in the same breath. The reality is that the two lead performances are awards worthy, and the characters are deep and complex- everyone has their reasons and there is empathy for both sides. You will find yourself emotionally invested like you would a great film, and the goosebumps on your arm will reflect that.

    Some people lost their minds over Joel in this game and it makes me wonder- do they remember the first game? He changed the future of humanity to satiate his ego. He didn’t tell Ellie what he did, and he lied to her because he knew that he had made the wrong choice. The way he dies is in keeping with the world and the character. The Last of Us isn’t heroic gunfights and honour. No, he was ambushed and bashed in. It is grim, horrible, and totally in keeping with the feel of this world. He had it coming. He had done so many awful things and changed the fate of the entire world for the worse. Joel’s final decision at the end of the last game was unforgivable, and he knew it. People say that Joel has changed, and he is not the same guy from the first game- he kept the secret for years. He softened a little because he was looking for redemption. He never got it, and he did not deserve it.

    The sequel explores the consequences of Joel’s choice, the lie, and its impact on his relationship with Ellie. Which in turn makes Abby’s storyline gripping. Abby makes for a compelling playable character, her life had been changed by Joel’s actions and she handled revenge just like Joel would have. In this way, they are similar people who will do anything for those they love.

    Finally- if you still have any trepidation with getting this game, ask yourself one very important question: am I going to listen to these people, many of which have suspect reasons for hating it- or am I going to listen to almost every reputable reviewer (look at reviews from proper gaming magazines, most of them are golden) there is? You are only doing yourself a disservice by not playing it.    … Expand

    Out of 100s games I have played since I was 7, only a handful of games I considered as a "masterpiece". Games like Bioshock, Bloodborne; Games that tell a story that is worth to be told.

    I am not a huge fan of TLOU 1 (and I know it is a great game in every way) but TLOU 2 is different. It is very different in its theme. I can see why there are so many people are so angry at the game and I believe most of people who playing will be angry at one point of the story but it's intentional and essential.

    I don't usually write reviews but this one is for telling anyone who reading this, if you are interested in playing this, just play and decide for yourself. Just aware that it's not a game that will "entertain" you but it's a game that will make you feel and hopefully, think about its theme.    … Expand

    I never experienced a story so well told. It gets you involved and it plays with your feelings in so many ways. I simply won't look at games the way I did before. And really the beauty of it all is actually how diverse and real the characters are.

    Incredible game with incredible graphics and incredible story. To the people that hate it, try thinking from the "hate only attracts hate and it will turn into a cycle if nothing is done about it, revenge is not the way never" point of view.

    From the beginning until the end, TLOU2 surprised me (and in a good way)! The story was very compelling and emotional. It shows the dark side behind both Ellie and Abby. The world was amazingly beautiful, but also dark and brutal. The gameplay evolves in every way possible, with a large arsenal of weapons and an extensive crafting system. This game is insanely detailed with stunning visuals, it's the most realistic game i have ever seen!

    There is so much value here, though, so much humanity and so much craft that I had to come here to say it. If you can have this experience with an open heart you will come out richer, and hopefully kinder.    … Expand

    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]
