    Parabéns a ND por trazer uma narrativa densa que mostra os dois lados da história. Era desse ponto de vista que mais jogos poderiam trabalhar a partir de agora nos pondo nos dois pontos de vista.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: it's a very good, immersive game with realistic gory action sequences. Weapons feel like they inflict real damage, foes are fearsome and humanlike. Setting is picturesque.

    Cons: Story is crummy and feels out of place in the world of the game. Very much feels like a poor sequel after the intensity of the first game. So much so that it ruins the game somewhat. Engaging the enemies feels repetitve toward the later sections of the game.    … Expand

    I am a very big fan of The Last of Us and I waited seven years for the sequel. Today was supposed to be a celebration day, the launch of the sequel to one of my favorite games of all time.

    Unfortunately, it's far from being a celebration day. It's basically a funeral. I enjoyed the gameplay of the first game a lot and Part 2 has pretty much the same gameplay which is a big plus -    I am a very big fan of The Last of Us and I waited seven years for the sequel.

    I enjoyed the gameplay of the first game a lot and Part 2 has pretty much the same gameplay which is a big plus - it's still good. The graphics are gorgeous and the music is excellent.
    However...
    Just like in the first game, The Last of Us Part 2's main drawing force should be the story. I regret to inform that the story in this game is absolutely terrible. There is a lack of respect for the characters from the first game, the ones that I loved very much, like Joel and Ellie. The story is a basic revenge plot with a modern "subversion of expectations" at the end which I didn't enjoy at all.

    I am mourning the franchise, because this game really sank the ship. It really really did.    … Expand

    Managed to ruin a great franchises for a social and political agenda. Neil druckman should never be allowed to be in charge of any of any game again.

    Прекрасная игра с очень интересной историей. Взрослой подачей. С кучей по настоящему живых ситуаций. Те кто ставят 5 и меньше , идиоты.

    With the new movement and actions, a new way of moving through the scenarios was created, although little used the way of throwing cables could have generated very interesting puzzles.

    As for the story, I understand the motivation of the characters and how each one arrived in this emotional state, however the best story was on account of the secondary Lev and his sister.

Now I accept, that everyone will have a differing opinion on the games story but personally I loved it. There some really strong messages about people, revenge, love and forgiveness. It's essentially a character study. I grew to love the characters and understand what motivates the, and keeps them going.

    Graphically, the game is one of the best things i've ever seen. Sound design is top notch. The voice acting and animation, top notch.

    Gameplay wise it was a vast improvement over the first one. movement was smoother, combat was visceral. It was fun to sneak around, or just start tossing everything when things got crazy. I loved finding the notes and listening to your companions which fleshed out the story and characters even more.

    I did have issues with the pacing at times but overall it kept me wanting to keep playing, just to see what happens next.

    I will say this, while I did play the Last of Us 1, i don't have the same attachment to the characters that i know some people, including my friends had. I had no "headcanon" of what I wanted out of the story for part 2 and was just excited to experience the story that the developers wanted to tell. I understand that this story, is not going to be popular with everyone, Some may even hate it, and that is fine. Everything I wrote is my personal opinion.    … Expand

    This is a game that happens when the developer's passion is the political ideas about sexuality, gender-power, gender-role, SJW-communities overrides his passion for gaming.
    This is a game is the same version of movies that include LGBTQ/Asian/Black for the sake of "Diversity" and empowering gender-role and his LGBTQ-fantasies.

But transgenders claim to be the other sex and then try to force their believes in others. .. people shall do what they need to do. But when they try to intrude my bathrooms and try to force what I have to say then that's where I cut the line. Men are men. Women are women. And I don't support The nonsense at all. And making this game a LGBTQ movement is a no-no... I also wouldn't like to have anti Trump or Bernie propaganda in my games. Already had enough that I need to see BLM movements on all websites if all I want to do is watch a movie. Please keep politics out of my games. Transgenders are humans which I sympathize with. They will never be able to be the sex they want to be. But I will never be 15 again. And I will probably never be announced as the most attractive guy on earth. Life is full of things you can never be. I feel bad for the high suicide rates. But you can't throw away basic logic. Is someone says he's a bird and he can fly I don't think trying to not stop him from jumping off a cliff it's the right thing to do because you accept him as bird. Mentally ill people need help. People with depression need help. And people who feel as if they're the wrong body need help. You just can't force me to think that men or women woman are men. Men are men and women a women.
    However they are human beings and I support their right to dress however they want. I don't support them having the right to take away basic logic and freedom of speech. And thus I cannot play this game. At a game I can play is 0/10.

    Please keep politics and games separated. Thanks    … Expand

    If you've never read a book or even seen a movie about revenge you'd like it. Otherwise it's cliche and boring. Revenge is bad, duh. (it's also not, revens is as good as the reason is)

    This game is a dumpster fire. ND should be ashamed. ND cohorts claim that it is bots? Really? This game is not worth your time or money, even when it hits the bargain bin. Arguably the worst writing I have seen. Characters are terrible. Identity politics nonsense. Why?

The ending gets things back on course, but I just wasn't invested any longer.
    I've heard some complaints that the game tries to be too "woke". They do shove some of their ideology in there unnecessarily, but it doesn't ruin the game for me. It is forced and doesn't make sense in the world of the game, but it's mostly just an annoyance.
    I just hope if they decide to make a third, they scrap all the nonsense and learn from their mistakes.    … Expand

    The animations and the graphics are top notch. The gameplay is mediocre at best. But the story is far worse than I even imagined after the leaks. And the SJW propaganda (which is super brutal, btw) is not even the bad part. The writing is so trash it's not even funny... What a disappointment!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People giving this game a 0 are just as bad as people giving this game a 10.

    Yes, the story is awful. They layer tropes within tropes, with my favorite example being the child who runs away from the cult because they are being forced into a marriage with an older man... but don't want to because they are... transgendered? I am all for equality and consider myself somewhat of a social justice warrior IRL, but this just feels like they had a story put together and then decided to inject hot-button social issues into every plot point where they could fit them. The problem though is that even if the story didn't include the SJW overload, it would still be a mediocre story with an unsatisfying ending.

    At the end of the day though, the fact is that this game is a masterpiece in level design, gameplay and graphics. If you could skip all cut-scenes and just have an adventure in post-apocalyptic Seattle hunting down bad guys and zombies while scrambling for scant supplies, the game would stand among one of the best games of the year.    … 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.

    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]
