    Eu era apaixonado por The Last of Us, era um jogo nota 10, mas, vcs tem que concordar, esse The Last of Us II é muito ruim, a jogabilidade é boa, mas a história do jogo é muito ruim msm, o final é de chorar, mas não de emoção, mas sim de decepção, eu posso falar isso pq platinei o primeiro jogo mais de 10 vezes e já platinei esse segundo jogo uma vez, e tenho que admitir que foi uma perdaEu era apaixonado por The Last of Us, era um jogo nota 10, mas, vcs tem que concordar, esse The Last of Us II é muito ruim, a jogabilidade é boa, mas a história do jogo é muito ruim msm, o final é de chorar, mas não de emoção, mas sim de decepção, eu posso falar isso pq platinei o primeiro jogo mais de 10 vezes e já platinei esse segundo jogo uma vez, e tenho que admitir que foi uma perda de tempo, foi uma decepção atrás da outra. Se me pedissem se vale a pena comprar esse jogo, eu NUNCA aconselharia, se me pedissem uma nota pro jogo, eu daria 3 só pq a gameplay e as animações são muito bem feitas, os gráficos também são bem razoáveis, não são comparáveis a um Red Dead Redemption por exemplo, mas não dá pra reclamar, mas é isso a real desse jogo, exatamente ninguém que era fã do primeiro jogo vai gostar deste segundo jogo...… Expand

    Poor story writing - that's all. The magnificent work of artists, smooth animation and deep elaboration of sound are buried under pathetic plot.

Serious characters from the previous part of the game seemed to have lost their identities and turned into puberty teenagers who are interested in affairs and pointless anger rather than survival. It's like seeing realistic violence in a middle school play - absurd.

    The gameplay of Part II is very similiar that we expiernced in previos part of the game and Uncharted series. It's pretty good, but there is nothing really new that can hold me near the screen for a long time. It starts allright but it turns boring after first nine hours of gameplay. And there are much more hours... The plot is simply not worth this time, better go and play A Thief's End.

    Let's hope that the developers find the strength to create something truly amazing in the next game.    … Expand

I understand why alot of people are upset with the direction of the game and they have every right to be, but dont let that sway you, just because what happens isnt exactly what fans would prefer to happen. The story is amazing and very powerful, it truly makes you reflect on the characters choices. Naughty dog absolutely delivers with this game even if I still wish things had been different. I have never played through a series that was so emotionally gripping. Naughty dog truly created a world that pulls you in and keeps you drawn for the vast majority. That being said there are some points where you feel tedious gameplaywise. The story truly has you engaged at all time. I highly recommend you play this game. Also for all of those who worry about things like this. Naughty dog did a great job at keeping strong female character's, including a racially diverse group, and adding LGBTQ themes all without it feeling shoved down your throat and making the male characters look weak. This game is a perfect example of how to spread social awareness without having to make one party look inferior. I really hope they make this a trilogy, and so long as they nail the cast, I will be very much looking forward to the hbo series.… Expand

    - Ignore the votebombing campaign. A huge amount of the hate it's getting is simply for having gay characters in the lead. The people hating on the game are conservatives with small minds who clearly haven't played it.

    - For those people who are SINCERELY disappointed in the darker, brutal turn the story takes all I can say is...did you play the same The Last Of Us 1 that I did? Joel's daughter is killed in the first hour of the game and he goes on to murder hundreds upon hundreds of human beings. Then he makes a deeply morally questionable decision at the end of the game.
    This is not a game series for people who like happy endings. And if you're surprised by the turns this game's story takes that's a GOOD thing, no? Did you not want to be surprised?
    One comment I read here on Metacritic in the User Score section summed up the stupidity of most of the criticism this game's getting: it said:

    "THE DEVELOPERS IGNORED THE COMMUNITY AND JUST WROTE THEIR OWN STORY!!!"

    I mean...what do you say to someone who thinks that way? Someone who is so entitled and spoiled and small minded that they believe they have some divine right to dictate the direction of someone else's story in someone else's game?

    Okay, that out of the way, I can get onto the game itself. I'm going to admit that I was not a huge fan of the first game. I thought it began and ended brilliantly, in fact I think it has easily the greatest ending of any game ever made - the ending is up there with the ending to some of the greatest films ever made too.
    But the bulk of the game itself wasn't enjoyable for me. It was too slow, the stealth was too laboured and predictable and the gunplay was dull. I'm a huge fan of ND games, Uncharted 2-4 remain some of my all-time favourites, but TLOU was a rare ND game that just didn't click with me.
    For some reason I'm finding its sequel much, much more enjoyable. First of all, the simple act of moving around the world is greatly improved. You are quicker, more nimble, the mantling animations are fluid, you can climb quickly and easily...
    A great example of how much care has been taken over making movement responsive and satisfying is the way your horse controls. Think of how many games have horses in them...now think of how utterly atrociously difficult it is to control those horses: eg. Red Dead 2, with its painfully slow, tank-like horses, or Shadow of the Colossus with the infuriatingly capricious Agro, Roach in The Witcher 3, etc., etc... Yet your horse in TLOU 2 is an extension of you. It turns on a dime, it accelerates beautifully, it moves from a trot to a gallop to a stop with such fluidity I was a bit startled when I first controlled it. This is the Naughty Dog difference: the sheer care that's gone into making small things as good as they can possibly be.

    When I reviewed Uncharted 4 I called it 'Luxury Gaming', simply because of the lavishness of the enterprise, the absurd amount of care and attention that had gone into every single component of the game. And while TLOU 2 doesn't have the same obvious graphical splendor and jaw-dropping scenery as Uncharted 4, it has had just as much, maybe more, attention paid to it.
    It's visually magnificent, although the narrative forces it into less obviously attractive locations than other big hitters in this department like Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead 2 and the aforementioned Uncharted 4. It controls beautifully. ...And the combat...the human versus human combat...bloody hell. I've just started facing other humans, and it feels substantially different from other action games in this regard. It feels much more tense. A single shot can kill you, a single shot can kill them...the enemies shout to each other throughout, threaten you, you can try and outflank them, and you have your heat-vision-y sense powers, but apart from that it's desperation and adrenaline.

    I'm hoping the game keeps up this level of quality, in its gunplay and in its stealth, and so far this feels like its cribbed a lot of valuable lessons from Uncharted 4(which Neil Druckmann, director of TLOU 1 and 2, also directed) simply in how to make the game more...well, fun. More purely enjoyable. How to make stealth and combat more satisfying. So far it feels like they've succeeded, and I get the same sugar rush from the action elements in this game that I got from Uncharted 4, only there's a good deal more depth to this.

    I am interested in seeing where the plot goes. But it's the gameplay that so far is impressing me most.

    Based on my impressions of the game up until now this is a substantial improvement on the first game - more satisfying in every single area. I was not expecting much because I'd had such a hard time with the first game, but it has been riveting so far. Tense, dramatic, with a forward momentum propelling the player forward. It's daring, with the unique 'luxury gaming' touch that you only get with ND.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Greetings to those who passed the game. Finally, we released part 2 of the game that changed the entire gaming industry in 2013, implemented an excellent production and roughly speaking, everything of that kind. What I will say about part 2... These were unforgettable emotions... The game immediately engages and pulls us into this native atmosphere. The work with light/shadow is beautiful, the music accompaniment, my homage to Gustavo is on top, as always. The game's mechanics have become varied and refined. You can crawl and climb into cars, break Windows, throw ropes, and put up ladders. The game has become very diverse, there is no sense of straight linearity. The world is beautiful, and every building you enter makes sense to find something useful in it. But now I'm going to talk about the sickest part of this game. Plot and direction. Yes, I liked the technique of telling the story from different sides (characters). Playing for Ellie, I realized that this is not a 14 - year-old defenseless sweet girl, but a fierce, cruel 19-year-old girl who will not put herself under the barrel. Playing for her was more fun than playing for Abby. Joel's death was in vain in the first hours of the game, it feels like Neil Drakman spat at him. I, like Ellie, have learned that I need to take revenge on this **** despite her story (I didn't like it)! And for what? To let her go? Ellie, like Abby, had lost almost everyone she cared about, and what was it, for nothing? I feel sorry for Joel when he listened to all the **** Ellie said and died from a high-powered woman's stick... Very sad ending, I was crying, but over the failed ending of this story. Unfortunately, I can't say more, or they'll ban me.… Expand

The game is amazing every single thing about it, Yhe graphics is something I’ve never ever seen in a video game, naughty dog has pushed the boundaries. The animations the gameplay mechanics really gave me an idea of what the next gen might look like. makes me wonder what the hell is about all this hate, if ya’ll wanted a fairy tale with a happily ever after then go watch a disney princess movie. This game is set in a world where death is literally everywhere. And i see that some people got pissed because joel gets killed? And calling the game trash Lmao, But still it broke my heart to see him go like that at first, this didn’t make me hate the game or the story, instead it got me more hooked into the game filled with vengeance. the part 2 clearly highlights one thing, there are two **** sides to every story and you shouldn’t be too quick to judge, once i got to play as Abby and learned her story, joels death is completely justified, or better yet he got what he deserved. And to be honest, i got much more attached to Abby once i got to play as her, and it shows that just like ellie, she’s a good person in general, and the ending was exactly how it should be, it felt wrong and uncomfortable trying to kill abby at the state she was in, and that’s how it should be, because abby spared ellies life not once, and that makes the two of them even.

    - Unfortunately the soundtrack which is almost not present, one of the highlights of the 1st opus was the OST, except that there, rare the occasions where it made an impact on me.

    -The AI ​​level always remains so, enemies humans or monsters are predictable.

    The positive:
    - Script and story, that's what I expect from a narrative game, bringing realism and getting out of the predictable, i mean the world We know is not the same for those people, it's a jungle law, every single one of them been trough a lot to SURVIVE, and that's why some actions seem almost natural for them, I salute the staff for the audacity, If they think of a sequel, I wish them good luck ..
    - The characters are great, I got attached to them(el hombre: Manny is too cool)

Characters, like plot twists, are more like reality than ever - there is no place for immortal knights in shining armor, and the main characters are as mortal as any NPC in the game. The moral in the game is gray: emotional slides throughout the game will show that the villain can be loved and the hero hated. This is a true masthead for console owners and a drop of gold in the ocean of mediocre games. The story reached its logical conclusion and allowed the heroes to go along this exciting adventure together with the players.

However, I am most sorry and annoyed, a weak and often played soundtrack, with which I feel as if there is none. In the first part of The last of Us he was and still is great and thanks to that he can fully draw the viewer into the situation how people probably felt in the post-apocalyptic world.… Expand

    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.
