    Yes, the story had problems and did stuff without thinking about how much we love and care about the characters but I still enjoyed the game and had fun playing until the end,(although there was a time in the middle of the game where I wanted to stop playing and throw the remote) I continued and kinda understood the risks the developers made..

Jogo com ótimos gráficos e boa jogabilidade, só não foi melhor que o primeiro título por ser um pouco lento o desenrolar da história, mas de resto é muito bom, mesmo com o Joel morto, fiquei bem triste, mas é uma obra de arte e entendemos bem o outro lado da história, digo da Abby, ótima personagem, só foi ruím mesmo o Joel morrer no inicio… Expand

    Just not a fun game to play, and when one of the biggest draws of the game is the story, it is such a kick in the balls when you see what happens in the end. Its almost as if the writer wants to prove some sort of point to all the fans of the last game. The graphics and game play were fine and even top notch but that's all the positive i can say about it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Chacun à son propre avis. Pour ma part, The last of us part II est un jeu légendaire. Pourtant bien difficile de faire mieux que le premier opus, naughty dog ont mis la barre haute, mais alors très très haute. Un réalisme de couleurs et de gameplay époustouflant, une histoire prenante et captivante faisant appel à plusieurs de nos sentiments, notamment la haine, le chagrin, la culpabilité, et j'en passe. La mort de Joël a été très dur pour tout le monde. Mais ce passage est selon moi, l'un des plus fort moments qu'un jeu vidéo ne m'a jamais fait ressentir. Donc pour cela, je les remercie. Je les remercie de leur travail si minutieux, de leur talent à surprendre le joueur à tout moments. 7 ans d'attente. Nous avons enfin pu y jouer, et je suis conquis. Chaque personnage est intéressant, nous distinguons avec facilité leurs émotions. Durant ce jeu, j'étais très clairement dans la peau d'Ellie. Bravo au studio d'avoir réussi à nous faire vivre un moment comme celui-ci. La ps4 ne pouvait pas être clôturée par un meilleur jeu.… Expand

    If you are like me, you played The Last of Us Part 1 way back during it's release on the PS3. The game had stunning graphics, great sound, good gameplay, but the things that made it one of the best games on the platform was the beauty of the level designs and above that the magnificent storyline involving two of main characters with their struggle to survive and make sense of the world.If you are like me, you played The Last of Us Part 1 way back during it's release on the PS3. The game had stunning graphics, great sound, good gameplay, but the things that made it one of the best games on the platform was the beauty of the level designs and above that the magnificent storyline involving two of main characters with their struggle to survive and make sense of the world. That recipe landed it the game of the year back then on the PS3 and then again on the PS4 when it was released as a remastered version which I also bought. I had two TLOU1 copies total spanning two systems. That was just how good it was. Fast forward to today and to Part 2 of this iconic game. Let's start with what it got right from the recipe of the old game. GRAPHICS and Level Design: Like the first, Part 2 continues on stunning displays of the environment. No complaints there. SOUND: Again, it is on par with the first. GAMEPLAY: This is for the most part on par again with the first with a few additions to make exploring more realistic thus giving it a slight edge. Sadly, from here on out it is downhill. Way downhill... STORYLINE: I enjoyed the game for about 2 hours into it. Then IT happens. Death is understandable in a game with an apocalyptic setting. It can be sad but still illicit a positive experience to the player. Flashback to FF7 when Aerith meets the grim reaper with an 8 ft blade. It was traumatic yet it didn't leave a horribly bad aftertaste by the end of the game. In TLOU2 though, it felt unnecessarily rushed. Like someone couldn't wait to get rid of one of the characters. Then to make matters worse, you have to play as the character who ended such a beloved one from the 1st game. The theme of revenge is done relatively like any other game or movie before, and it doesn't really make the player feel much excitement to see what happens next. It starts becoming boring and predictable. At least until the end where they throw you another curve ball to ruin yet another character from the 1st game. You're left with a sense of what was the point of all of this? In the 1st game, you had a clear goal. The twists and turns to reach it all fit together nicely, until the end where they also throw you a curve ball to the story. But unlike the 1st where there was a purpose to the actions that led to the end, in Part 2 the player is left with a strong feeling to scream "WTF was the point of all this!?". The story is severely flawed. The ending leaves you with nothing, and worse it tarnishes the legacy and choices made by the end of the 1st game.… Expand

    What a bunch of morons you all are. You all should stop playing games if you can't accept developers decisions. Read between the lines, it's not about the plot itself. This game is going far beyond. A true masterpiece.

    Honestly I doubt I’ll get to play a better game than this one. Adult, coherent and emotional story. Magnificently written and different to what we are used to play. Definitely worth every hour and it will let you thinking about it for several days after you finish it. If you are willing to shot faceless enemies and sit for a couple hours just not thinking at all, this is not your game.Honestly I doubt I’ll get to play a better game than this one.

    There's a lot to like about Last of us Part 2 and there are some story elements which can be seen to be out of place. The pacing is also a issue. But saying that, although the pacing and how they get to the end is a bit messy, it still hits a lot of the same notes seen in the first game. It's not a safe story, no-ones safe in this world and part 2 is a stark reminder of that.

It's not a safe story, no-ones safe in this world and part 2 is a stark reminder of that. It's because it's so unexpected and not what many fans would have chosen is what I like about it most. The gameplay and visuals are are second to none and graphically, I don't think we'll see better on consoles this generation. Lastly, what the story does do is give a lot of fuel to a third game and that may and probably will bring part 2 into a different light for those who are disappointed with it at this present time. It'll age well once people play through again and have time to digest and comprehend the story. It's not perfect but still a great solid entry into the series and a 9/10 for me.… Expand

Man, the guy can defeat everyone because he has a lot of experience (more than 20 years) in this apocalyptic world.

    Reason today is "persona non grata". Only two years ago, Stephen Pinker published his best-selling book Enlightenment Today. Truly today!

    A near perfect game that suprised me a few times. Gameplay ist way better than in part 1. The story at first feels a bit minimalistic but soon turns into an exciting line of events. There ist no reason to rate this masterpiece lower then 7 or 8. Any rating lower then 7 should try play call of duty or fortnite. Its a game for "mature" players. Only God of War is compareable

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Love this game. Beautiful atmosphere, very detailed Seattle, intensive and brutal gameplay. Everything is magnificent. People love Walking dead as one of the best post-apocalyptic franchize, I love it as well. Why people hate this game, and still say TWD’s best seasons are the 5th and 6th. Death of the main character is one of the moments people love in GOT or TWD. This game is much more deep and mature. Ať the beginning, you think Abby is absolutelly worst character in this story, she’s ugly and IT doesn’t make any sense to have this new playable character around. But after 20 hours of playing, you create a bound to her, and in a final fight against Ellie, you are devastated because you love both of them. This game is a great continuation of our beloved first TLOU game. I want to thank Naughty dog for making this art.… 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]
