    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bom, essa review é para todo mundo que tem dado "hate" no game. Em termos técnicos, o jogo está impecável. A trilha sonora é simplesmente sensacional (Gustavo Santaolalla não deixa nada a desejar), a ambientação é impecável, os gráficos muito bem trabalhados e o level design complexo e bem planejado (mas isso vocês já sabem). A história do jogo é simplesmente incrível, mostrando que há sempre dois lados de uma mesma moeda, e é por isso que devemos aplaudir o estúdio e os roteiristas de The Last Of Us II. Criar uma personagem como a Abby não é coisa simples. Vemos a personagem simplesmente destruir o protagonista do primeiro jogo e, em um primeiro momento, a raiva é inevitável, mas é aí que o game surpreende. Forçar o jogador a utilizar uma pessoa com que ele não compactua é simplesmente genial. Somos obrigados a analisar uma outra perspectiva e visão de mundo, dessa vez na pele do grupo de antigos vagalumes. Após jogar com a abby, criei uma empatia pela personagem e percebi que tomar partido em um universo tão complexo é algo extremamente precipitado. A profundidade da narrativa mostra que não existe coisa como bem ou mal e que sempre há dois lados de uma mesma moeda. A empatia com Abby é inevitável, a ponto de no final do jogo você torcer tanto para ela, quanto para a Ellie. Não estávamos preparados para tal jogo (como as reviews negativas apontam).… Expand

    I did not enjoy playing the game, mainly because I hated the character of Abby and because this game doesnt need to exist. The gameplay feelt a bit clunky sometimes and if I am honest the story was actually pretty boring.

    Also things like character development were pushed into the Backround. I will praise the game for things like: Graphics, sound design, acting, and Top tier animation.

    Also things like character development were pushed into the Backround. I will praise the game for things like: Graphics, sound design, acting, and Top tier animation.

    Another thing that annoyed me was the amount of false advertising, for example, in the trailer we see Joel saying the Line "You think I would let you do this on your own?" but that whole scene and Dialog was spoken by Jesse in the Final game. They kill a beloved character, wich is ok, but it needs to be done in a way that makes sense for their character arc and story, the only reason Joel died was for Ellie to get a reason to kill abby, and it didnt belong into his arc.

    For me a Sequel needs to justify its existence, this game did NOT justify its existence. And the game needs to take what the First game made great and improve it. A prime example for that is Doom Eternal. This game is gameplay-whise pretty much a clunkier version of the first game. So for me it fails as a sequel.

    I dont want to talk about the story, there are enough reviews about it, its not a good story and the rest you can read in other reviews.

    The ending is really bad. Ellie is left without anything and broke her promise to Tommy, Abby is alive, all the characters from the First game are dead, the few good characters in this game are Dead, and the game is just a setup for a new sequel. Ellie walks off : Alone, broken, a completely different person and unlikeable. Nothing was resolved, Joel's death was not done correctly. Abby's complete story and "love" story is pointless. Its not good

    Just imagine if the story was Ellie tracking down Abby and with time seeing her point of view and the same with abby. Then the ending would make a lot more sense

    I played Dishonored, a game about revenge. However, I spared Daud despite the fact he killed the Empress, the love interest of your character, and kidnapped your child. I did this because I heard his monologue about how much he regretted it. A speech to himself with nothing to prove to anybody else. Even when you meet him he doesn't beg for his life because he knows he deserves it. That's good writing. The problem here is that the Empress had little player connection, unlike Joel. So when you off a character by means of slapping fans in the face, of course they're going to get pissed. I don't think Abby necessarily deserved to die. I just think Joel was killed in a way that didn't do the fans service.

    I am tired of companies that don't care about their Fanbase. It seems like we only get trash games, and that good games are a rareity. Most of the sequel's we get are cashgrabs that use the name and good reputation of the first game. And if people keep giving this kind of Trash good reviews, the gaming industry wont change, But it needs to change. Sony made the best games in the last decade, but that seems to be over now. Lets hope Spieder-man Miles morales is good........

    I think its just like game of thrones season 8. The acting is great and the sets are amazing, but the plot doesnt make any sense and disrespects what the predecessor built. All in all (2,5/10)    … Expand

Introduce half baked and uninteresting characters throughout the game.] Over-abundance of modern political commentary [so much of the story is just jam-packed with trying to hit as many political issues as possible, and either comment on them or make them an integral part of the story spent hours and hours on, in an attempt to seem inclusive but just comes off as obnoxious and takes away from a more realistic story in the post-apocalypse].

    Best and most well done aspect of the first game was characters and story, which completely missed the mark this time. Played thoroughly, got 31 hrs out of the game. So disappointed in the decline from such a great first game, have to take an extra mark off for that    … 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...
