    A well decorated piece of ****
    It looks beautiful. It sounds beautiful. But still, it's just a piece of ****
    Congratulation, Neil Druckman, you successfully ruined one of the best game developer in the world.
    From now,naughty dog will never be my choice, again.

    While the story was a little disappointing the gameplay and atmosphere was incredible and overall the last of us part 2 is a pretty good game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you haven’t played the game and worry about spoilers, don’t read the review bellow.

    Oh my god. I can't stand all the garbage people are saying about the game. Everyone is pissed off because character development was not the way they wanted to be, or characters actions was not what they judge best, or because it looks too much political now, or because two girls are getting laid, or… come on people! Grow the ***** up! Stop complaining and just send you god damn curriculum to Naughty Dog and do something better than this. I’m kidding. Naughty Dog wouldn’t employee people like this.

    In my humble opinion, this is a masterpiece and the best 2020 game so far.

    Homossexual relationship, transgender and other stuff are topic in the game, but in a secondary way. And by the way, I don't see this as a problem. I could care less about what Ellie are into. If she is into girls, well good for her. If Abby is stronger the Rambo, well good for her too. I can't believe that this became something to judge in a game.

    The game give to us, again, a harsh reality. And that won't be necessarily a reality we wanted to. Well DEAL WITH IT! Sometimes people we care just die. Out of nothing! And here comes the shocking spoiler: This happens in real life too! If you can’t stand Joel’s death, imagine what Ellie felt. If you are too weak and can’t stand the feeling, stop playing and go find something more colorful to cheer you up. You probably won’t find any consolation in this game. Well I did. But it looks like people don’t think the way I do. It would be too easy for the world.

    I think Ellie is so confused about her feelings that some people say the whole revenge thing is not so convincing. That she turns into a crazy maniac killing people on her way and didn’t even finish what she started. Well that was the way she dealt with loss. In the end, she probably didn't even want that revenge. Maybe she was just so messed up, that killing people was the excuse for her to at least feel something different from regret. And not killing Abby in the end?! For me that was the masterpiece decision. She saw Abby as Joel and Lev as herself when she was young. For me that was the masterpiece. Forgiveness is a way better message for me than revenge. That made me admire her more than I already did.

    Best character ever. Best development ever. And yes, for me is much better than the first one.    … Expand

    As a huge fan of the first game, I really wanted to love The Last Of Us 2. However, TLOU2 simply isn't the game we were promised. Trailers, previews, and other marketing of this game have been totally dishonest. I don't want to spoil anything, but what I can say is this: we were promised a sequel continuing the story of two beloved characters, however this game is barely about them.

The game director, Neil Druckmann appears to have become totally self absorbed and goes out of his way to subvert the expectations of the audience, seemingly for the sake of doing so. If you are a fan of the first game, do not buy this expecting another adventure with Joel and Ellie, because you won't get it.… Expand

    The game is surprising me in every moment. Superb grafics, gameplay and story. Thank you Naughty Dog! @metacritic. Many xbox bad users are adding fake reviews to low the game rate. You can look by the games they rate. All xbox games 10 and playstation always 0. This kind of behaviour must not be accepted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terrible story. False advertising. Just bad. The first half was fun with Ellie (a character we love) but then they make us play as Abby (Joel's killer) and give 10 mins of backstory to try to make us like her. It's terrible story telling. Abby's half of the game has nothing to do with the last of us story. I did not enjoy this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great graphics. Nice modest upgrade to weapons, skills, and upgrades. My biggest issue is the story. I’m not mad Joel gets killed. It’s how he gets killed. And then, having to play 10-12 hours which is basically the entire second half of the game as Abby. At that point in time nothing that was shared in “her” story, contributed to me feeling any sort of compassion. To me, this is genuinely the biggest reason why fans of this franchise had a hard time accepting this story. Plenty of other ways to kill a main character/hero. This is not the way Neil. I’m sorry.… Expand

    The very sad truth, I could not even finish the game and I do not think I will, between the spoilers and the forced story, it is unpresentable, even if the children make 100 thousand accounts to raise the grade they will make people think that it is a Good game ... I don't know what they do by lying to themselves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O final dese jogo só mostra o quanto o Joel amava a Ellie, fazendo a nossa cabeça explodir em emoções. Em toda a franquia ele sempre protegeu a Ellie, mesmo sem que ela saiba ou note, e quando ela via que ele a estava protegendo e o cobrava, ele sempre respondia com um "ok" ou com um "tá", como é possível notar na festa em que a Ellie e a Dina se beijam e o Seth diz que a Ellie é mais uma sapatona e na última cutscene, quando ela diz que não era para o Joel atormentar o Jesse sobre as patrulhas dela. O Joel entendia o que a Ellie estava sentindo e devido ao amor imensurável que ele tinha por ela, ouso dizer que até maior que o amor que ele tinha pela própria Sarah, ele nunca foi capaz de discordar dela.
    Achei a história desse jogo ruim, por isso a nota 3, e por ela ser ruim, fez o jogo se tornar um dos melhores que já joguei, positivamente porque me fez sentir emoções que nunca senti em nenhum filme, série ou jogo antes. Negativamente por forçar a perda dos dedos da Ellie, deixou-me com um sentimento de raiva e tristeza imensurável, por a Naughty Dog ter feito isso, ter tirado da Ellie a única coisa que a ligava ao Joel, o violão.
    Forçar querer entender o lado da Abby, em uma era onde o ser humano perdeu todo o sentido de humanidade.
    Além da morte de "merda" que o Joel teve, totalmente sem honra e completamente humilhante.
    Espero que tenha um The Last of Us Part 3, e que seja com a Ellie, não com a Abby, pois The Last of Us é e sempre será Joel e Ellie.    … Expand

    I loved the gameplay, locations, graphics, the new clickers beautiful *chefs kiss*

    But the plot... Honestly up until I was forced to try to kill Ellie while playing as Abby I was completely on board with the plot. In a universe where it's impossible to define good/evil characters as it's a morally grey universe it's clear they tried to show Abby as a hero and Ellie as a villain because she held onto her grief and expected us to forget how Abby brutally tortured and murdered Joel like that. There is a clear plot hole from the first game where Marlene reveals they have experimented on other immune patients and all died without creating a vaccine this totally could have been a possibility for Ellie. It took a while for me to warm up to playing as Abby but by the end of Seattle day 2 I grew to like her , however I feel betrayed that we were advertised a different game. As we play through half the game as Abby it is ridiculous we weren't told that this would happen it caught a lot of people of guard and put them off .
    Lastly we should have been given a choice as to if we wanted to give up Dina and JJ and go after Abby (and kill her ) or to stay with Dina and try to work through Ellie's trauma with her help. I understand the message was revenge is not the right thing to do but it was conveyed in the worst way.    … Expand

Instead of wasting your money on this game. Just wait for next gen, when all games will look this good, because you’ll get foot stories as well. In a dark time in this world we live in.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay mechanics- Smooth but straight out of 2013 with the exception of adding a jump action which is honestly pointless and going prone which I did enjoy.

    Graphics- Absolutely beautiful the best probably I’ve ever seen on any game but honestly from a AAA company that is to be expected. Graphics do nothing but get improved for games of this standard.

    Story- How in the world can you take two beloved characters and completely spit on them. They were villainized the whole game for their actions. But on the other hand we’re supposed to feel sympathy for the other main character who brutally murders one of the first beloved characters in front of the other beloved character in the waking moments of the game. The way I see it when you play as Ellie you are forced to commit very gruesome morally corrupt actions she tries to refrain from until she has to defend her self. They try to make you feel bad for killing NPC’s with names but if you go and try to play stealthily add get caught they will murder you on the spot. We are supposed to love this new character, but here is my problem with that when Ellie murders a pregnant woman in complete self-defense without knowing she was pregnant has a panic attack and vomits immediately. Abby gets the chance to murder a pregnant woman and literally is about to enjoy it for revenge until her new little best friend stops her whom she used to murder for sport. I just feel like the whole revenge plot for Ellie is revenge is bad but on the other hand for Abby it’s just dust in the wind she can get revenge and it’s no problem because she is entitled to it. To me I feel like a couple years ago they had a whole different plan for this game but suddenly decided to change it up and rushed it. I could keep writing and making random points but honestly the sequel doesn’t deserve it. At the end of the day myself as a fan is very crushed, I waited seven years after playing that first beautiful game to get this terrible sequel. It is just sad they did my favorite characters in a game so dirty and they did me dirty. You Dirty Naughty Dog.

    To wrap it up I ask what is the point of a mechanically beautiful and graphically gorgeous game if the story is going to be so shallow and a complete 180 of what the first one stood for. What I wanted was to see where the story kept going for the two characters I loved. Now I just wish I never bought this second game what a disappointment. All I can do now is try and forget I ever played it.    … 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.
