    This game is absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a brilliant story with stunning visuals and pretty decent combat this is the game to play.

    This game is a master class in everything it sets out to achieve: story, character, visual fidelity, visceral gameplay, and more importantly the consistent reminder that the "soul" of a game can become much more than the sum of it's parts.

    Please don't buy this game, it is an atrocity to the game industry and no one deserves such pain for playing this thing that I consider trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall disappinted, i'll go into detail bellow:

    The ending is the most disappointing part of the game which is riddled with disappointments.

    The graphics are beyond good, this is what next gen should look like.
    The gameplay is nothing special, just like the first game, you backstab a bunch of people then shoot the few that are left. The story is full of plotholes , Joel trusting a group of armed people he just met giving them his name and following them into the basement of a house located near their settlement, not only does it contradict the characters personality (the untrusting joel) but even the world building , because throughout the game you see that ALL TRESSPASSERS are killed on sight which is logical in an apocalyptic world but Joel saves a tresspasser for no reason gives her his name knowing his head is wanted for the fireflies incident then follows them into a basement x). The ending is way worse (ENDING SPOILER WARNING)

    , as Ellie decides that her vengeance is worth leaving everything behind and killing abby , but then when she finds abby she let's her go (until now I kinda understand) but then she threatens to kill abby's friend unless she fights her to the death and when she wins the deathmatch she decides to just let her go ?!? This sounds like a kid's story but it's the real ending we got. How many times can you change your mind about something so big in 2min , she had MONTHS to forget about the vendetta and still decided to leave Tommy her wife AND KID to kill her, only to backpedal at the end so you can make another sequel ? And then she understands that vengeance is meaningless ? How do you understand that vengeance is meaningless when you didn't even get your vengeance ?

    Oh and they also find the time to show you a trans coming out story turn bad because his mom is part of a cult that doesn't accept trans rights. In an apocalyptic world, **** trans rights in the zombie apocalypse. And don't get me started on the media treatment of this game, having an uncensored sex scene is fine because she's trans but you censure Devil May Cry 5 because it's too explicit ? xD    … Expand

    Very much enjoyed, this game shows that revenge is a never ending cycle. When revenge is achieved by you, the person who was hurt for you to feel better now wants that same vengeance at your expense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok I'm going to do this right. I played the game in its entirety so I experienced and felt every moment, and I can say I'm so disappointed, this story is ruining my days.
    First of all, almost every character is so inconsistent:
    - Joel and Tommy look like the most stupid human beings left on Earth, the exact opposite we learnt from TLOU1. telling some bad strangers their real name and their location is so stupid that even a normal person would avoid.
    - Tommy at first seems that he doesn't even want to seek vengeance because Jackson needs protection and doesn't want to lose anyone else…. but later on the game, more precisely at The Farm chapter, he thows **** against Ellie just because she momentanely says she has abandoned her mission of Revenge. WTF? Tommy cares about Ellie a lot and knows how much Joel cared about her…. he would never act like that.
    - The end…. Ellie loses EVERYTHING and Abby nothing…. and it's impossibile not to be disappointed. Thart character is so horrible and also they are trying to replace Joel and Ellie with Abby and Lev. Such a great potential incredibly ruined….    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. LAST OF US part 2 is the best video game sequel ever created in my opinion. The Game ends with ellie sitting in the water on the beach in Santa Barbra, she let's Abby Go. So When Joel Dies, I'll explain why right now this had to happen in the story because one of the last conversations that joel had with ellie. Ellie said "I was supposed to die in that hospital" then Elie says "My Life would have **** mattered" joel replies with if the lord gave me another chance at that I wouldn't change a thing" and ellie responds with I know then she says "I dont know how long it will take but I would like to try to forgive you for it" The Game Is Ultimately About Forgiveness and how to forgive your loved ones it's not about revenge that's what they make you think with the marketing which is extremely smart IMO AGAIN THIS IS MY OPINION… Expand

    Absolutely incredible game that exceeded the hype and surpassed all of my expectations. Breathtaking gameplay and mechanics that feel eerily life-like. The character arcs were so complex and interwoven that I wonder how they were able to bring it all together so flawlessly. As a filmmaker, the gorgeous lighting and overall aesthetic really sealed the deal for me. True masterpiece.

Esse jogo não é uma obra prima, e nem o pior jogo da história ate por que a gameplay e os graficos não deixam, O ponto mais fraco da história foi o jogo tentar humanizar os atos da abby, e entregar um final contraditório, fodasse se a ellie matou meio mundo, grávida, cachorro, a mensagem do jogo contradiz com a morte do joel, se vingança não é uma resposta, e sim PERDÃO, a morte do joel foi totalmente em contra partida disso, a abby está ERRADA, assim como a decisão da ellie no final do jogo é sem sentido nenhum.… Expand

    The Last Of Us Part II it's more than just a game. Naughty Dog, thank you for the sequel one of the most likely games in my life.
    When I've finished part one I thought: oh, It's so confused. Joel made a too hard choice, but was it a good choice or not? Maybe the Fireflies could make a vaccine and save a lot of people. Yes, in this case, they are a must to kill Ellie. Yes, we love this girl a lot. But it's just one life that can give hope to people be saved.
    Unfortunately, we rarely think about the opposite side. We think: oh, they are bad guys. But are they? Not always.
    Thank, Naughty Dog: you attempted to give people to see another side. And I think it was a great decision.
    P.S. The LGBT line of the story mustn't be something unexpected for the followers of the game. It's a great game!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A complete let down! I finally finished completing this stupid, depressing and disappointing of a game and I regret pre ordering this game and buying it even on deluxe edition, the storyline is just garbage, your favorite character in this game dies by the same person you spend most of the time playing as her, Abby, I hated every second playing as that annoying character, the game tries so hard to have some sort of sympathy for her for killing Joel by letting us play as her for 12 hour+ or something, if I knew that I would be wasting a lot of my time playing as her I wouldn’t have bought the game. Also you can’t avenge his death even after all Ellie’s been through. Hell, the ending itself is even more disappointing than the whole plot. I rate this game 2/10 just because of the flashback moments during the playthrough.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part 2 was created to increase the deepness of this entire zombie world, adding some interesting points of view of what is like to become the villain of your own story.
    The gameplay doesn't take any risk on making anything new, but it has the same mechanics and functionality of its predecessor. The only flaw that I was able to find were some minor bugs, witch could be easily fixed.
    Something that separates this game from anyone of its genre, it's the way it shows dead on NPC's. It's suffering feels real and you won't be feeling comfortable killing others on this game.
    It's story, the main focus of this game is amazing. Naughty Dog took a risky path by choosing a story that would make angry to any fan, but further than staying on a classic heroe theme, it goes further and deeper. Joel's dead at the very beginning of the game states the tone of the rest of the gameplay, and gives Ellie a strong reason to seek revenge, but after some events on the main story Ellie finds out that love it's the most important thing, reflected on her finally forgiving Joel for not letting her die on the first game.
    Although most fans didn't like the game on a first place, I'm sure that time will do justice on what was achieved on this game, and most players will some time be deeply in love with Ellie's and Abby's story. A must play for anyone that owns a PS4.    … Expand

Also it's a game and even if you don't like the story the gameplay is amazing. TLOUP2 is an immensly dense game both in gameplay and story. The story is much more grand in scale comparitively to the first game which told a relatively simple story. This story examines the importance of those choices made in the first game and further examines the impact of a post apocalyptic world where murder and brutality is needed in order to survive. Here the story not only focuses on 2 individuals but looks at how these choices and circumstances effect everyone around our main characters. It's by far the most ambitious and satisfying game I've ever played. Now, some people obviously don't like the game and from what I've noticed is that people don't like it for one of two reasons: A. They feel the game Is pushing some sort of political agenda on them that they don't agree with. B. They're expectations of what the story should be do not match what the story actually is. Realize that this story does include LGBTQ characters, if you don't like that then this game probably isn't for you. I don't feel as though they were pushing an agenda these characters are there and they exist but there's not some grand message as far as they're orientations are concerned. They just are. Also Ellie liked girls in the first game so that shouldn't be a surprise re: Left Behind. Accept that what you want for the characters, and choices that you want to make are not what's going to happen because you are not them and they are not you. Drop all expectations of what the story will be and just let it happen and take in what it has to offer. These characters are not the same as the first game. 4 years have passed. They've changed, they've grown and they're going through something new. I loved this game. Is it the story I would've told? Probably not, but the story I would've told probably would've been boring and predictable. I appreciate that everytime I thought I knew what was going to happen next I was wrong. The characters made some choices I liked and they made some I didn't like but we're different people and we've been through different **** and we feel different things. Lastly it's just a game lol. Some people are acting as if their life is over.… Expand

    This game is like slapping a completely worthless story that constantly contradicts itself, with a slew of non negotiable choices made by the game studio instead of the player, onto one of the most renowned and beautiful game engines with the potential to be the greatest game of all time.

    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.
