    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest I’m a little conflicted. I would’ve been okay if the game ended at the farm chapter. I think Ellie got her wake up call a little too late. Killing Abby wouldn’t bring back Joel. Also killing Joel wouldn’t bring back any of the fireflies. The game was brutal, it really slapped me in the face numerous times. Both Abby and Ellie lost the light, they were driven by revenge and anger that got the best of them. Ellie’s biggest fear became true. Being all alone, left by the people who she loves the most. The very end when she dropped the guitar was really poetic- I felt like it was her way of saying goodbye to Joel and the revenge path that she had chosen.I hope she gets back at Jackson and stays with the good memories she created with him. I overall enjoyed the game, I liked the flashbacks, the new combat system, the freedom of exploring buildings ,the new upgrading system. The graphics are just amazing. The soundtrack is great.I appreciate everyone that put their soul into making this game.… Expand

    wonder what happened to the writers to deliver such a downgrade, is really bad, if it wasn{t for such a terrible writing it could be a real 10, but the story is such a nonsense, people are just blind by visuals and music, the only reason I give it a 5 is for the amazing work of artists and gameplay team

    El juego no es revolucionario, no espere mejores gráficos, no espere mejor jugabilidad, si me encontraba esas dos cosas igual que la primera parte no me hubiera molestado
    Pero si tu estas jugando la segunda parte es por su historia y la historia es mala. La jugabilidad no se salva alargan el juego en un porque si

    Having not played the first game I’m aware my opinion is a lot more objective to this game than what many fans of the original would have expected this game to be. I’m currently playing through the first Last of Us and having already connected with Elli and Joel’s growing bond, I can absolutely see why this game would at the very least confuse people and also leave people disappointed andHaving not played the first game I’m aware my opinion is a lot more objective to this game than what many fans of the original would have expected this game to be. I’m currently playing through the first Last of Us and having already connected with Elli and Joel’s growing bond, I can absolutely see why this game would at the very least confuse people and also leave people disappointed and annoyed by the fact that you need to play as Abby for the majority of the second half of the game. Firstly, I think the one aspect of the game that many people can agree with is the amazing visuals. The game looks incredible, it’s some serious Red Dead scenery sometimes and it’s able to capture the many set pieces of a dying and overgrown world (but that’s supposed to be the Cheesecake Factory!). The visuals also allow for some of the best and most realistic performances from the mocap actors. Another aspect of the game is the combat. Oh lord, there are moments where of course I’m elated at sweeping a room full of stupid whistling idiots but then when I shoot someone and they start screaming for their life I don’t feel as good. The combat really drains you, I’ve never wanted cut scenes to appear more in my life just so I could take a break. The areas where you need to fight are really wide open and can sometimes be really daunting. It really makes you consider all your options and my god is it tense. BUT! The story. From my point of view having not been previously immersed into this world and with no expectation from previous experiences with the first game I thought the story was pretty good. It’s nothing masterful and there’s some bad pacing issues in the first half of the game, however, overall I think there’s a key message that is effectively communicated as the game goes on. I was engaged by the characters, I was sucked into the chemistry between Elli and Dina and as for Abby, well don’t tell anyone I said this okay, but I think she’s a really well done character and the game really picks up when you play as her. I’ve seen this with Pewdiepie and some other people I’ve either talked to or watched saying that they would have really enjoyed Abby if they played as her first. That makes sense and it would eliminate the disdain people had towards her, but I’m not sure the story is as effective if that’s the case. There’s a spoilercast episode where Neil Druckman (the guy who people seem to forget made Uncharted 1-4 and TLOU1) talks about how when the plot leaked and the big moment of the story was revealed all of a sudden it was seen by the audience with no context. It was interesting to hear him say that all of a sudden instead of it being a decision for the story it was just a decision and people had made their minds up before even playing it. Having said that many people who didn’t see any of the leaks shared the same opinion of being annoyed and disappointed. So overall, I really enjoyed The Last of Us Part 2. I was immersed in the story and it kept me on edge. There’s some great cinematic moments that look amazing with the visuals and I think even though it’s caused such an upset, I think that’s somewhat the point. I don’t think there’d be many games out today that would make the bold choices this game does, and I really respect that. For me it pays off. The game probably lives somewhere in between all the hysteria it’s created. It’s not some pandering LGBT marketing ploy and it’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a game that caused discussion and kept me thinking about it well after playing it. There’s a lot more good than bad and I think it’s really worth playing.… Expand

    With everything going on in the world, I picked up TLOU2 with the hope of escaping reality and enjoying myself, which feels like a reasonable ask given TLOU is one of my all-time favorite games. Instead, this game took everything magical about the original and flushed it down the toilet. Like others have said, it felt like an agenda was forced down your throat for the games entirety.

    The original E3 trailer is GROSSLY misleading. It is easy to see why Sony censored anything related to the second half of the game. That's the most I can say without spoiling the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From intentionally using a falsified trailer years ago, to making us play as the dreadful, hateful character Abby for however many hours, this game was a mess from the jump. it is nothing evenly remotely similar to its predecessor, which in many of our eyes was an absolute masterpiece, and probably the biggest letdown of 2020, and that's saying a lot. The fact that they killed the dude who, along with Ellie, made us so emotionally attached to the Last of Us Part One was such a despicable act of disrespect to any fans of the original game. Not only was Joel killed, he was literally tortured to death by a character many of us couldn't bear playing later on in the game for 10 hours or more. There is not a single redemptive factor about Abby except for maybe her 'saving' of Yara and Lev, despite NaughtyDog's vehement attempts to try and actually make her seem like a person instead of the absolute monster that she is. Also, NaughtyDog, the whole white savior thing, even if she is a woman who 'takes no **** has a heart, is built like an ox' blah blah blah, really wasn't the message to put out in today's day and age. Like come on I know you guys are a little smarter than that. Like don't get me wrong, there were some parts of the game I really enjoyed, such as the paleontologist's museum. A beautifully written and animated scene which was honestly tugged at the heart strings, especially the scene in the space shuttle. But it's only allowed to be beautiful because it's so strongly connected to the first game, and is a highlight of Joel and Ellie's relationship, which is both beautiful and cruel at the same time. I understand the message that you were trying to employ when you wrote the script, but the whole idea of 'revenge is bad and it'll only get you or your loved ones is so overdone'. This game could've been so much and more, but honestly, the plot was so flawed, and its execution of this plot was butchered. Did you guys see the end of Game of Thrones? Surely you could see what effect trying to 'subvert expectations' can have on any form of media, from film to games, on it's fanbase. Don't even get me started on those stupid god damn shock deaths. So ridiculous.

    In review, remake the game, visit the roots of the last of us part one. Animators and coders, you did a stellar job, the game is smooth, fun to the run around even though there a lot of running around, and the combat is a class act.

    Scriptwriters and a certain director who I hope never touch this series again? Do better.    … Expand

O jogo contem gráficos e jogabilidade perfeitos, mas compro playstation, por causa da experiencia da historia no single player, esse jogo ficou a desejar tanto no enredo quanto na historia. Aprendi uma coisa com a ND (Neil Druckmann). NÃO devemos comprar mais jogos em pre venda ou lançamento, pela mentira contada no decorrer do desenvolvimento. Se eu pudesse pegava meu dinheiro de volta. Fiquei muito chateado como estão agindo com a persuasão e com descaso com a opinião pública, sei que sou apenas um, mas por direito meu, melhor forma será o boicote. Diretor acabou com historia. DEVERIAM CONTRATAR DE VOLTA A AMY HENNING. Quando mudamos de geração , esperei por esse jogo ate o final dessa geração do playstation 4 e vocês destruíram minhas expectativas. Nunca vi um roteiro tão péssimo, com falhas de conexões em alguns pontos e momentos de frases subliminares sem efeito positivo na trama. Eu não queria ser crítico, mas o primeiro THE LAST OF US demonstrou uma combinação unica do domínio técnico e com o conhecimento entre abordar uma trama com um ponto nevrálgico e equilibrar os outros elementos, sem ter que jogar princípios teóricos acima do que era fundamental para um bom entendimento do jogo. Essa trama se passou em vários pontos emocionais, tentando pre-estabelecer empatia com o acordo de romantização em tudo. O ódio foi suprimido por limites emocionais, a amor foi banalizado por consequências surreais, se era pra conduzir sempre por uma reflexão no lado sócio-educativo, não colocassem tudo de forma lúdica e fantasiosa. A desenvolvedora deveria garimpar as inteligencias emocionais e não coloca-lás em confronto entre razão e emoção, por que a humanidade não sabe controlar a razão quanto mais a emoção. O jogo está polarizando as pessoas pra que tenham um raciocínio, não que isso seja ruim, a polarização é perfeita, desde que a razão não seja encoberta pela emoção. Agir de forma visceral deixa as pessoas intolerantes com a opinião divergente.

    E VOCÊS ESTÃO DIVIDINDO A POPULAÇÃO, APENAS POR UM PROJETO, QUE INFELIZMENTE NÃO BUSCA O EQUILÍBRIO EMOCIONAL PELA FELICIDADE.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished this game, I understand why people were mad and didn’t like the game but honestly, I feel like a lot of people missed the point of the game. SPOILER ALERT: at first when Joel died, I was angry. I didn’t understand why they had to kill off such a big character so early in the game. I felt as if the game was lack lustre and they ran out of ideas. However, as the game went on I began to understand exactly why they did it, and everything that happens following that fits together so perfectly and tells and amazing story of why Joel was killed and gave a great story of Abby and Ellie’s pasts. I understand people also had a lot of issues with playing as Abby. But I feel like playing as her was so important to the story, it showers that Abby wasn’t actually a bad person, although you want to hate her so much for what she did. Abby and Levs relationship parallels amazingly with Joel and Ellie’s relationship, albeit not on as deep of a level. It shows us how people can do horrible things yet still not actually be that evil. We saw the same with Joel in the first game. In the first game Joel talks about his past, how he used to be a hunter and kill random people for no reason just for supplies. He also killed off a huge number of fireflies but at the end of it was caring for a small girl, which made us fall in love with his character and everything about him. Although Abby isn’t as likeable as Joel, I saw the same with her and Lev. It showed us all about the consequences of our actions and how everything has a domino effect in the world. Joel trying to save Ellie, ultimately led to his doom when he killed Abbys dad. Same thing when Abby killed Joel, it ultimately led to the demise of everyone she cared about. I feel like people really need to give this game a chance. They need to get past the fact that Joel died and have an open mind about this game. This game is very different to the first one which is why I think people are dismissing it so much, but it has all of the great story telling, depth and emotion that we love from naughty dog games. It was definitely a risk but I feel like they did an amazing job putting this game together. The story is enticing, although sort of slow and points. The gameplay is phenomenal and tense, the enemies and AI in these games are the best I’ve ever seen in any game I’ve played. The reaction time of the clickers, the enemies, everything is *chefs kiss*. I love this game so much I’m finding it difficult to choose which is my favourite out of the first game and the second one. Overall, 1000% worth the play, if you can keep an open mind about the story and just let it take you away, then you will love it.… 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]
