    Fantastic game and the hate has spiralled our of control from trolls that clearly haven’t actually played it.

    Great Game, I loved it.
    I felt sad after finishing it.
    Not a 10/10 but sure 8-9/10. ( Gonna stick with the 9 cause of all the hate)
    It a good Game, it’s beautiful game, it’s a great experience. I can understand the hate, ND did/tried something New and I personally enjoyed it but it’s my opinion.

    Sorry for the English :>

Aside from the narrative, this game shows aesthetically pleasing details, another breakthrough in-game tech mechanics, and multiple satisfying character animations. All in all, a game with this caliber has to be another cult classic in a video gaming industry just like it's prequel.

    Imagine if turns out you can't relate to a character/protagonist in the game...
    Nah, that wouldn't be possible! that would be a sign of a bad game right?

A little longer than it needed to be, but the story is worth the effort.The bad reviews people are giving this game are sad to see, because they can't give up their love for a few beloved characters and can't stand to see some understandable actions that take place toward the end of the game. The place we left the first game in was an awkward and uncomfortable one and the feeling between characters carries on that trend. I would not take into account the opinions of the people giving this game a 5 or below out of 10,because they seem struggle to empathise with characters motivations in the game. It is a brilliantly made game with a few bits of fat on it that could be trimmed down. Overall the cut scenes, graphics, story telling and settings are 10/10. Characters feel alive in this world. Gameplay is very much the same as the first game, with a few more added extras but it is noticeably the Last of us gameplay. Overall Brilliant, rivalling all time great games like The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Mass Effect 2 and of course the 1st Last of Us game.… Expand

    +/- Only few bosses (actually there are only 1 real bossfight)
    +/- Only few big locations for deep, long exploring
    +/- Game is really long ( id like it, but if you try to play 24/7 you will be tiered and lost interested)
    Now what's bad in this game:
    - Some characters had not so much screentime
    - Encounters with infected is not so interested

    So i guess thats all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this game thinking it was not gonna be good because of what people were saying during pre-release and after the first week of release but I still decided to give it a chance...I felt that after what they did in the first one they deserved at least that much. And let me tell you I was not disappointed, sure I was sad watching my favorite character from the original game die right at the beginning but the story that followed even though not as good as the first one was still a very entertaining although brutal experience. And the whole experience playing as Abby worked for me, even though I wanted her and all of her group dead because of what they did I couldn't help but start to like her and Owen by the end of her side of the story. And when it came down to the final fight all the motivation I had to kill her was gone, after what they had gone through I just felt that there was nothing to gain but still a lot to lose from any of them dying. I don't think it's a bad story but it sure as hell is a sad one especially for Ellie and Tommy who basically are left alone and "broken" in the end. But like I said it is not a bad story at all if you are willing to think about everything that happens and not just what happens in THAT cutscene. In terms of gameplay it improved from the first game even though the shooting still isn't my favorite. I won't say that the people who didn't like the story are wrong because everybody has different tastes but saying it's complete garbage after playing like an hour of it is just wrong and unfair for the people that worked on this game for years. For me this is a must buy just like the first and I hope they make a third.… Expand

    Having played this game all the way through, I am unsure as to why it is getting all this hate. The first TLOU was possibly my favourite game of all time- tied with a few other titles - And I eagerly awaited the second game, to the point where I pre-ordered it from Amazon a full 2 and a half years before it arrived at my house.

The first TLOU was possibly my favourite game of all time- tied with a few other titles - And I eagerly awaited the second game, to the point where I pre-ordered it from Amazon a full 2 and a half years before it arrived at my house. Not only did I love the story, but loved the multiplayer as well. Now to this game. I can understand people’s frustration with how some characters are dealt with at the beginning of the game. I can also understand why some people would feel that ND are just churning out a narrative for the lesbian and trans community. Some of the stuff is a little on the nose in terms of it being obvious that they are doing it almost for the sake of it. HOWEVER, the issues they are putting in the game aren’t imaginary, such as homophobia and transphobia. And unfortunately people who experience this need to have their voices heard, and this includes in being referenced in popular culture. People would not experience or even see issues some of these groups of people deal with without being shown it in games, or movies, or television. So yeah, unfortunately it feels a little bit like naughty dog pushed a narrative, but people need to grow up as there are more important things than you being annoyed at a character being a lesbian.

    I enjoyed the twists in this game, and enjoyed the game play. Graphics are beautiful, and the way the world is developed and laid out is frankly spectacular. The story may feel a little forced, and people keep screaming “plot holes” but I don’t think there are to the point that it’s worth writing online articles about.

    Overall, I think this game was worth it. Especially if you treat it a bit as a stand-alone game. If you spend your time exploring and trying to find all the collectibles, it is an amazing game. Don’t listen to the people who definitely haven’t completed it, and have already written negative reviews.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eu amei o game, faltou pouca coisa pra ser perfeito, o gameplay teve um upgrade em relação ao primeiro e é satisfatório. A história eu gostei bastante, entendo a frustração do pessoal, mas a lição as vezes não vem do que queremos e sim do que não esperamos. Ao final do jogo da Ellie após o que acontece com Owen e Mel eu já sentia que a jornanda não valeu a pena.
    Quanto a Abby faltou uma construção pequena pra ligar ela as crianças, algum diário dizendo que elas estava pensando, pois só o sonho e algumas falas não foi suficiente, mas ainda é uma jornada interessante e difícil de aguentar como foi da Ellie.
    Santa Barbara foi muito importante pois eu queria um novo encontro e independente do fim que Ellie escolheria eu queria Abby livre de alguma forma.

    Sobre a lição do game, a vingança não traria Joel de volta e fez Ellie perder tudo inclusive os dedos que impede de tocar o vilão que era uma forte ligação ao Joel, mas sobrou uma coisa. A vida, Joel deu ela isso e eu acredito que ela vai viver isso da melhor maneira já que foi o que sobrou.
    Abby também buscou a vingança e conseguiu mas ela perdeu tudo quase tudo no fim, mas diferente de Ellie que nem Dina esteve por ela mais, ela encontrou o Lev uma razão pra viver e proteger, uma nova família.

    Os temas por fora são bem abordados, preconceito de um modo geral é bem trabalhado no caso de indentidade de genêro e origentação sexual. Fico triste que isso tenha gerado reações negativas mas ao meu ver game ganhou muitos mais pontos com isso.
    Grande jogo, vou zerar novamente.    … 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.
