    Overall I loved the game. A lot of people are showing hate to this game simply because they feel way too attached to characters from the first game. Especially considering that the game is set in a post apocalyptic world where people die at any moment in the most unexpected ways.

    I think the graphics and parts of the gameplay are absolute breathtaking and incredible. But the story is horrific, cheep, cheesy and cringeworthy.

    I loved the game. Everything about it was great: the graphics, the details, the facial expressions of the characters, the settings. The acting is great, and the dubbing in Portuguese was perfect. The game teaches a valuable lesson: we are all the heroes of our own history. Enemies are people who, just like us, have feelings and a deep history behind all their actions.

    This game has gotten such an incredible amount of hate because people saw spoilers ahead of time and decided they hated the game from that moment. On top of that, somehow the average consumer thinks they have more of an idea of who the characters are than the writers and creators do. There is NO game that deserves a 0/10.. even if you didn’t like the story you should rate the gameplay.

If you understand the story and can understand what they trying to convey with these characters, this game truthfully is a 10/10. They gameplay is immaculate and is full of the most realistic violence you’ve ever seen in a game. The story is so gut wrenching and heartbreaking, but it was the story that needed to be told. I respect the hell out of Naughty Dog for this game, they stepped out of their norm and took a risk. They didn’t just give the fans the same thing from the first one, they gave us the story that we needed. Believe me when I say this IS a masterpiece, regardless of what the haters say.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Красивая картинка, неплохой сюжет. Жаль что некоторые повороты читаются заранее. персонажи в целом приятные (когда происходит их раскрытие, как в случае с Эбби). концовка не то что бы внезапная, но что то подобное и ожидалось. Оценка крайне занижена. Да, в игре слишком сильно сделан акцент на нетрадиционно ориентированных персонажей, что по сути ни как не влияет ни на игру ни на сюжет.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First let's get it out of the way: Graphics of the game look fantastic. Without a doubt this a great looking game...but that's it. The game story line just plain sucks. I mean it's one thing to kill off Joel but it's another when you have to take control of the character who kills off one of the best characters around, That to me is one of the dumbest decisions. And of course the ending is just complete **** The entire game was based on the fact that this is all about revenge and yet for some reason at the end after Abby kills Ellie's father figure and some friends and bites of Ellie's fingers all of a sudden revenge doesn't come into play And its all about forgiveness? Basically there's no payoff, you don't get revenge for Joel. Yes stupid move naughty dog. And let's also talk about the fact that naughty dog lied to its fans. In the trailers we see Joel and Ellie interact In certain times but instead when the games out now it's actually Ellie and Jesse or flashbacks? And naughty dog and Laura Bailey and all these people that are supporting the game are wondering why fans are upset? Yeah this is not a good game this has so many issues the story was a mess, and the best character of the whole last of us universe gets killed it within 2 hours Yes the reason why this gets a 3 out of 10 for me is because the graphics are great and that's it everything else sucks.… Expand

    This fame is really awesome. The story is great and gameplay is super fun. People get hung up on the spoilers and other elements too much and they take it out on the games rating. It is genuinely just as fun as the first game. Play it for yourself and then see how great this game really is.

    I'm sorry just the game has done a massive disservice to Joel's character and ellies, if you wanted the story to be about ellie. If you wanted the story to be about Abby's poor design you should've never had Joel and Ellie in it.

    'Review Bombing' seems to be the phrase of choice for so called gaming experts trying to justify the horrendous user ratings for this game. That alongside some sort of moral high ground or set of gaming ethics that somehow invalidate your rating because you haven't finished the game. Absolute nonsense.

That alongside some sort of moral high ground or set of gaming ethics that somehow invalidate your rating because you haven't finished the game. Absolute nonsense. Take these views with a pinch of salt, as the guys working for publications like Forbes aren't really experts. They're journalists, who's responsibility is to write articles that drive debate within the gaming community. When playing a game like The Last of Us part 2 the narrative and character plots are huge contributing factors to the overall enjoyment of the game. Its entirely possible to make the wrong decisions early on and completely taint the gaming experience. For me this is the point, as spectacular as this game is cinematically, as expansive and unique the gameplay is; you play out the entire story with a sour taste in your mouth. This is because the creators at Naughty Dog have discredited the legacy of the first game with a misguided plot twist. Ultimately, the emotional investment and connection with the first game is lost very early on. The saddest aspect of the Last of Us part 2 is that it will be considered a success, not because of fan opinion but because of record sales and revenue. Whilst the game is still extremely entertaining and in many ways ground breaking it will always be a 'what if'. It will never mean as much to me as the first game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, this didn't turn out well. First of you are going to kill off a main and WELL beloved character you need to send them off with some type of respect at least. The way of Joel being killed and the dialogue leading up to it felt off. Then after having Ellie witnessing it and not getting some sort of revenge at the was very pathetic. They could have at least Abby fight just enough to get away, thus having Ellie swear for revenge would have even better than what we got.

    If one is to get this game, get it pre owned at least when it falls flat on price. There was only a few good moments and scences that you really got to take in and enjoy. How ever flash backs are a lazy way of doing it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Isso não é TLOU. A Ellie está com uma personalidade muito diferente, parece personagem de malhação. Joel não vi problema em morrer, pelo contrário, achei boa a ideia. Mas não da maneira que foi feita aqui. Pra começar, o jogo tem várias quebras de ritmo. No começo parece malhação. Depois que o Joel morre, pensei que o jogo fosse começar de verdade. Mas não, o próximo trecho de gameplay é você passeando com a Ellie de cavalo conversando sobre a vida junto com a Dina. Isso é literalmente uma quebra de ritmo fodida, na minha opinião. Forçam você a gostar da Abby, mostrando que literalmente TODO mundo que você matou era uma pessoa que tinha uma vida, e que todo o ser humano comete erros, aquele típico papo de ver o outro lado. Cara, sempre fui um cara com muita empatia. Quando sou tóxico depois que mato alguém, me sinto mal. Achei super forçado esse negócio, principalmente por que eles minimizam diversas mortes de personagens super importantes (Tommy,Jesse) para favorecer a narrativa de que os personagens que a Ellie mata ao longo do game foram pessoas legais, como se os citados anteriormente fossem "piores, menos importantes". Senti que o game não passou a mensagem que existem dois lados, visto que, pelo menos pra mim, eles favorecem muito o lado da Abby. Inclusive, vi vários youtubers torcendo por ela. Olha, no primeiro jogo, me senti mal com diversas coisas que o Joel fez, e entendi que o que ele fez no final foi muito errado. Mas, veja, não precisei de outro ponto de vista pra entender isso, e isso fez eu amar ainda mais o personagem. Além de todos esses problemas, o final foi horrível. Vi muita gente falando "mas você queria o que, que a Abby morresse e o garoto ficasse sozinho?" SIM! ia deixar o game muito mais pesado e ia dizer que um siclo de vingança nunca tem fim, visto que o garoto com certeza ia querer se vingar da Ellie. Também vi muitas pessoas falando que, se a Ellie matasse a Abby, o jogo ia acabar com um "final feliz". Não ia, pois a Ellie, mesmo matando a Abby, teria perdido tudo, de um jeito ou de outro, e ia simbolizar mais ainda o que falei que, mesmo completando a vingança, ela perderia tudo, e a lição do jogo ia ser passada de uma maneira muito melhor. Os gráficos são ótimos, cenários incríveis, gameplay cansativa, assim como o do primeiro, porém não é ruim, funciona. Muitas pessoas falam "hur dur mas o jogo deveria ter uma nota maior que 3". Meu consagrado, cada um acha uma coisa, e eu acho que a história é algo muito importante para um jogo, principalmente para a continuação de The Last, um jogo com uma história incrível. Enfim, foi só a minha opinião, cada um pensa do jeito que quiser. Se você achou que esse negócio de proporcionar emoções funcionou, ok, só quero que muitos entendam: funcionou pra você, não pra mim e pra muitos também. Abçs.… Expand

    An absolutely nonsensical game that does little to naritavly improve apon the last game. Other than the graphics being better the game does little to actualy improve gameplay and has to fall back on pandering to a niche crowd to attempt to hide it's admittedly basic story. However even it fails to get a satisfying payoff in the end. Let's hope this is truly is the last of it's kind.

    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]
