    How did it end up like this? I didn't think it was possible to go from 100 to 0 so quickly, but Naughty Dog did it. A complete 180 in storytelling and direction. Both games shall be remembered: The Last of Us as a testament to storytelling and setting, and The Last of Us Part II, how to butcher a legacy in record time.

    This feels like a fever dream. How can this be real?

    Amazing gameplay, graphics and animations. Terrible plot and the ending.
    The plot and the ending are the worst ever.

    Em algum lugar dessa bagunça havia potencial para uma grande história, mas infelizmente ela é atolada por tramas secundárias desnecessárias e escolhas desconcertantes de personagens.

The first one for me was the best game ever created with incredible characters and story. I finished it 16 times honest. Everything that made ma love the first one is missing in the second one. Characters i was excited to see again are acting like different persons, they even have less screentime than the new ones. And the new ones ? They are incredibly bland and uninteresting.. And for the record i dont minde lesbians, female characters or anything. Its just that it doesnt work in this game. It was supposed to be about Ellie and Joel, period. What this game suffers from the most is the shock value. Somehow masters of storytelling, at least until this game Naughty Dog did the absolute cheapest and lamest decision in order to shock us. I expected much more from them.. Well at least this game taught me to never again be excited for something when it comes to good storytelling and never again trust Neil Druckmann as a writer. PS: 2 points for graphics and voice acting.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing graphics, sound and gameplay but the story is just a big pile of dog sh!t, spoiler ahead......

    1st fked up part: 2 fking hrs into the game and the most beloved character from the first game got killed disrespectfully
    2nd fked up part: play as the mother fker who've just butchered Joel
    3rd fked up part: in the end, somehow Ellie spared the life of that fker after a few flashback of Joel and ended up losing 2 fingers
    so basically, what the hell did we do the whole game?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge fan of the original I was hoping for a good story with a satisfying conclusion, Unfortunately that is not what I received. I heard about the leaks before playing so I was curious to see what was true and I was deeply upset to see that most of them was true. 30 mins in and we get a weed smoking scene. Are you serious? By this point I already dont care about ellie or her friends. Shortly after Everyone's favorite, Joel is killed, and in such a disrespectful way, to see him treated like that was not a good start to the game, then I get an eyeful of..gay? sex, my how progressive we have become. It looks just so awful with these rendered models that the 30 second it was on screen was enough to hurt my eyes. So now we control Joel's killer in some attempt to sympathize with.. her. This is where I want to stop playing, such an unlikable character already but okay let's see this through. A bunch more characters dies that no one cares about. We have to kill several dogs, in a sad attempt to tug on the heartstrings. In the final moments of the game ellie decides to save Joel's killer, then ellie then changes her mind another 2 times and decides that killing is bad, after killing a hundred people to get to her, just get your **** revenge jesus. Abby eats ellie's fingers, she cant play guitar so sad the end. Joel is basically in the game just so they can kill him and defile his corpse. Definitely wont buy another naughty dog game. Graphics are good, games is same as previous game, except you can jump now. This game is a failure and doesn't deserve the high scores it received.… Expand

    It looks amazing. One of the best looking games I’ve seen but that’s where it ends. If you’re a fan of the first game don’t bother with this game.

    The new low in terms of implementing social propaganda in videogames. The absolutely horrible story with the most disgusting "plot twist" ever - way to subvert our expectations, Neil. This Part 2 **** all over anything good that was created in Part 1, if you liked TLoU 1 then stay the hell away and save your money.

    The graphics on this game where truly beautiful and the fighting style did have minor improvements but in this story oriented game, it lacked every single aspect. If I had to sum up the story without spoiling anything, all I would say is that this story is just one huge dumpster fire and that I would not recommend this 60$ game to anyone, this for me was a waste of my money and a waste of my time.

    The story was written by mentally ill, gore loving, sick person. Anyone who enjoys this kind of violent trash, should let his head checked at the nearest hospital.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The writing in this game is an affront to storytelling akin to GOT season 8, the circumstances that lead to Joel's death in the first hour are so far out of character for him its not even funny. Then you spend the whole game absolutely despising abby, waiting for the chance to kill her was the only thing that kept me going. Then you get to the end and you don't even get to kill the **** because the game forces you to spare her out of some sort of misguided idea of what Joel would have wanted. Pretty sure Joel from TLOU would have been fine with you murdering the 'women' who beat his **** head in with a golf club as a reward to him for saving her life. Game sucks ass waste of 60 quid gameplay is identical to the last game so a 3.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the first game. I have the Joel edition for the ps3 and the remastered edition for the ps4.I also have the dlc for the ps3. I really liked it.

    When I saw psx, I think in 2017... I **** cried. I've seen that interview... Idk, maybe 40 times. I just love Troy and Ashley. And part when Troy said "don't let fear be the reason why you don't do something".... oh boy.

    So yeah, I'm not here just because they **** up the franchise of my favorite game of all time. I'm here because I have seen everything. And I really hate it.

    I don't hate the game because they kill Joel. That was something that they had to do. But the way they did it. You can clearly see him totally out of character. Doing and saying stupid things that a survivor as him would never say or do. And then there's Abby. Oh boy......

    You can feel the agenda from the beging. All white males are bad. The only two white males are off the picture as fast as they can get them out. Then you have the lesbians, the hulk and the trans (and the asian soy kid...). And yeah, you have lots and lots of talking about kisses... and feelings.... and sex scenes...... I mean.... really? Who the **** wants to see Abby's man titis? What the **** is this? This should be a continuation of the story, but it isn't. The narrative is veeeery bad, the gameplay is repetitive and boring.... What a waste.    … Expand

    All in all the game itself is not bad, the acting, the graphics, game engine, the beautiful views, it's all there but the story is so unbelievably awful, all these incredibly terrible decisions. I can't believe that this is what we get as a sequel to such a masterpiece.

    GRAND DISAPPOINTMENT.

    Let me ask you one thing, why was The Last Of Us special? Its graphics were tremendous but quickly surpassed by next-gen games, and the gameplay wasn't something groundbreaking.

Its graphics were tremendous but quickly surpassed by next-gen games, and the gameplay wasn't something groundbreaking.

    The biggest reason was the story.

    A dad loses his daughter, loses hope for years, until he gets a straight forward mission to help an innocent girl. Both of them embark on an adventure and explore the world at the same time as the audience/gamers. Eventually, both of them became emotional towards each other. At this point, the audience/gamers see them as a father and a daughter. When the time comes for the finale, the man is put in a similar situation to the beginning, where he is about to lose the girl like he lost his daughter, but this time he couldn't let that happen again. So he helps her—cycle complete.

    With The Last of Us Part II, the story has taken a backseat, without a spoiler it is all about revenge. And it is not even a good revenge story. So all the game is left with is Good graphics and decent gameplay. Both of which are not enough to play through the kind of damage you'll receive for loving the characters in the first game. Moreover, if you're a forgiving type of person this game will force you to do things you didn't want to do.    … Expand

Joel and Ellie's optimism from the 1st game were thrown away and you FORCED me to play as the worst character in game history, WHY would you think anyone would chose to play as the person that killed a beloved protagonist?!?!

    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]
