The gameplay, graphics, music, atmosphere, were good but I would have preferred that they focused more on the story than on those things, the truth expected more from the story, having the first game as a reference, I think the second part stayed very short, I do not criticize that they have killed Joel the way they did, nor that Ellie has not killed Abby because she is part of her humanity that she still has or any justification they want to give her, even in my opinion she was very Well that they implemented the LGBT + community and all those things, I just think it deserved a better ending after all because of what happened and I think that is what most of the community wanted, it was a very crude ending and they still make us play with the "villain" of the story, I understanding that they wanted us to empathize with Abby, but if it is a sequel, we play it for Ellie and Joel, who are the characters with whom we had already become attached and playing with Abby the story becomes very heavy for the same reason that we came to play TLOU 2 for Ellie and Joel and they still make us fight with Ellie, which I see 0 sense.… Expand

Лучше бы Джоел оставил её в больнице, это было бы намного лучше чем то, как она слила всю свою жизнь в канаву.

    Cara, esse é um dos jogo que você não vê saindo todos os anos, jogo muito muito bem trabalhado, gameplay fluída, personagens profundos e historia que realmente me marcou, todas as reviravoltas na historia, todos os sentimentos que eu nunca tinha sentido antes... INCRÍVEL. Obrigado naughtydog por essa experiência.

    The game has a good script, its graphics and the technical is very well crafted and polished, maybe it will not be work of art as it is the first that is practically game of the decade but that it is a very good game it is

    Juegazo 100%. Es un juego muy duro porque al poco tiempo de juego ya pasa lo que pasa, pero eso no quita que todo lo demás sea un juego de 10. Hay algunas partes que son un poco pastelosas y romanticonas pero da igual, todo lo demás es increíble

    The Bad:
    * A ambitiously messy, clumsy storyline
    * Pacing and length issues
    * AI is occasionally dumb
    * Melee dodge feels clunky

    Honestly, I wasn’t a huge fan of the first. It was one of the first PS3 games I can remember buying. I kept waiting for some sort of transcendent moment to happen during my playthrough but one never did. Many others disagreed, and The Last of Us is now cited as among the best games of all time. At first I wasn’t planning on playing the sequel. However, after seeing the leaks, the excessive DMCA takedowns, and the controversy surrounding certain plot elements I was starting to get intrigued. Since there are no new movies coming out, The Last of Us Part II is the closest 2020 has to a proper summer blockbuster, so why wouldn’t I want to play the hot new game and give my take on it?

    While the original was a relatively linear plotline, Part II has a considerably more complex narrative structure. On paper, the storyline is brilliant, as it asks us to consider the consequences of violence and the multiple sides to every story. What one person may see as justified is a heinous act in another person’s eyes. It asks us to look beyond mere notions of people being “good” or “evil”. However, the way in which the game goes about exploring this is suspect, to say the least. The story is leaden with so many flashbacks, parallel events, and perspective shifts that the story is at times difficult to follow and the pacing suffers. Since The Last of Us Part II can no longer rely on the shock of a new franchise, this kind of storytelling feels like trying to compensate for having to be a sequel. The only option is to go bigger, louder, messier, gorier, and raunchier, and not every idea is a good one. It’s also a hefty game in terms of its length, clocking in at anywhere from 25-30 hours. It’s by far the longest game Naughty Dog has ever made.

    The Last of Us Part II does not offer a dramatic departure in gameplay from its predecessor, yet its tone and themes couldn’t be more different. Part II tells one of the medium’s most ambitious stories to date, but boy is it messy. It’s the messy and sprawling nature that makes it a fascinating game, though definitely not a masterpiece like most critics claim. It’s too deliberately imperfect and misshapen for that. It’s the kind of game that for better or worse will have people debating its story decisions for months, if not years to come, and it’s bound to be a cultural lightning rod given the lack of new movies coming this year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eu super amei o game a história foi oque mais me fascinou , foi tudo q eu não esperava e isso é bom , sobre as personagens Elie e Abby . Eu acho q o game foi mais protagonizado pela Abby do q pela Elie é isso não é ruim esse game para mim teve a melhor história de todos os games , eles fugiram do clássico de nós somos heróis e temos q derrotar o vilão não , aqui é tudo por perspectiva do personagem , não acho a Abby vila mas também não a considero heroína ela só teve as motivações dela , ela matar o Joel fez nos vermos o quanto os personagens estão humanos porquê ela não matou ele por nada ela teve um motivo a vingança pela morte do pai e isso teve a motivação dá Eliete de ir atrás de todos os lobos até a Abby enfim história 10/10 todos estão humanos nenhum deles é perfeito eles só fazem as coisas para sobreviver e pela emoção . Algumas pessoas estão criticando o jogo dizendo q ele está muito feminista ou lacração , bom eu acho q essas pessoas são ignorantes , só porque as duas protagonista são Girpower ? Tanto a Abby quanto a Elie bota muito protagonista homem no chinelo , isso não faz o game ser lacração faz ele ser humano pois alguém com motivação pode fazer tudo tanto homem quanto mulher . Sobre a jogabilidade está bem semelhante ao primeiro game mas muito mais refinado ou seja está perfeito . The last off us parte 2 é um jogasso , a Sony acertou em cheio tanto em enredo quanto em gameplay e jogabilidade . Esqueci de fala mas os gráficos estão divinos até o momento esse game foi oque mais representou as expressões faciais dos personagens tão bem .… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the first chapter in 2015. I bought this one on day 1. The game is truly unique in gameplay, graphics, lightning and story, and it's a pinnacle of this generation of consoles. I was waiting for this game A LOT and my expectations were very high (I bought the PS3 because of the original The Last of Us). Nonetheless, the game met my expectations. The only major problem that the game has is, in my opinion, HOW the story is told, and I mean the order and the pacing through which the game and the story present themselves. Sometimes, the tension and the pacing just drop down, interrupting a climax (for example when we switch from Ellie's point of view to Abby's). Moreover, I think that presenting both Abby's and Ellie's story chronologically by alternating and rotating between their points of views on a daily basis would have brought a greater experience and a deeper attachments to Abby's friends. Instead, in the way the game is presented, it's really hard to get attached to characters like Owen, for example, because we already know that Ellie is going to kill him in a few days. Apart from the pacing and the order the game is told, the game is a masterpiece and went for something completely different from the previous chapter, something that didn't please many users. I won't say what this game excels in, because we all already know. Oh, and I played the game twice and playing through Ellie's part the second time makes you understand better a lot of things, like for example, when WLF members are talking about searching for someone who escaped (which we know is Abby only after switching to Abby's part), or when WLF members talk about a sniper killing all their men (we know that sniper is Tommy only when we switch to Abby's part). This is another outcome of their narrative choice of telling first Ellie's point and view and THEN Abby's one.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abby is the best part in this game. The arch and journey that she goes on is something that you don't see anywhere in the rest of the story.
    Ellie was disappointing as seeing that she never learned a lesson or realized that what she was doing is not what Joel would want her to do.
    Have to say, the graphics and gameplay, (while not evolving from the first) were still incredible and fun to be a part of.
    I wish there was less focus on forcing a political value on customers would have been replaced with logic and thought about how the characters could have been more developed.

    A true master class of media. If you're expecting predictable Hollywood fare of simplistic heroic characters and spoon-fed themes, look elsewhere.

    It's becoming increasingly apparent from the hate-filled review bombings that the M rating should also have a descriptor for emotional maturity, because clearly a lot of people can't handle even remotely challenging feelings.

    Part 1 and Part 2 complement each other to give this final result in TLOU2.
    To me it seemed like a great game, I would dare to say that it is an artwork, it touched my heart and made me think, there are very few things that manage to "touch your heart and make you think" and one of those things is this game.
    This game is awesome.

    Naughty Dog spent several years on this game, with two delays, the time put into this game is reflected in the gameplay, the story-line is not repetitive, there are no tedious tasks, the game puts alot of emotion within it, which I appreciate.

This is a game which you cannot watch on a Youtube/twitch stream, it needs to be played. I recently played through all 4 uncharted games, and replayed the last of us Part 1, to refresh my memory. I can honestly say Naughty dog has outdone themselves. I am sad to see the toxic culture of the gaming community base the quality of the game, on their beliefs on what is acceptable in society.

    I did not rush through this game, it took me about 10 days to play, so after each session of playing I could actually digest what the hell had just happened, there remains alot to question in terms of the story line, but the biggest questions are answered, why, what when and who. I myself would love to see a third, heck even a fourth.

    All in all, I recommend this game to those who seek to play it, and those who are familiar with story driven games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minor spoilers. This is the first time I've ever given a game an official rating because I feel very strongly about this. I give the game a 5 because I feel the game does not deserve a 0 nor does it deserve a 10. Amazing gameplay and voice actors did such an amazing job with their characters. However, I couldn't help but feel so miserable playing through this story as I felt forced to feel a certain way about characters as the writers wanted. An example of this is the section with the dog that the player is forced to kill, then forced to fall in love with this dog and feel guilty for something I did not want to play through. I continued to play, hoping there would be a bone thrown for me having to endure this tragic tale but nothing of that sort ever happened. As sad as it is for me to say, I will not look forward to any game from Naughty Dog that involves the writers associated with this game.… Expand

It's amazing how a developer intentionally creates a game that is divisive, and then there is backlash and everyone is surprised that a large portion of the audience doesn't like it *gasp*!...everyone knows Joel had it coming, but how they did it was terrible. To quote, just because something is explained DOES NOT mean it is good storytelling...to top it all off they go out of their way to make you care about Abby (lol that never happens)...overall, very disappointed, massive step down from the first game....they literally have no idea what made the first game so special.… Expand

    Its been a long, long time since any piece of entertainment made me think about my own feelings in the way TLOU2 has. I can't say that I'll ever forgive Abby completely for what she did. But I can say that I understand her, and that I wished for her to overcome her pain. I think this story will grow on people over time as they come to terms with Joel's death. Like Ellie, we may not ever forgive those who have wronged us, but we can find a way to escape our own anger.

    As expected from Naughty Dog, the game is a technical, artistic and audible masterpiece. Even though the PS5 is coming to us very soon, I expect that the bar set in this game will take a long time to raise.    … 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.
