    Before I go into detail, I’ll give some positive words about the game. The graphics are amazing they’re realistic and everything about the game is visually stunning. The mechanics are an improvement from the first game but tries to stay loyal with the previous mechanic system used in the first game. There’s no problems with the gameplay.

The graphics are amazing they’re realistic and everything about the game is visually stunning. The mechanics are an improvement from the first game but tries to stay loyal with the previous mechanic system used in the first game. There’s no problems with the gameplay. My problems with this game is how terribly written it is. Keep in mind I don’t care if there’s LGBT people in this game. The problem is the characters make decisions that are just completely out of character in the perspective of the audience, it just doesn’t sense to us. After surpassing the part where an important character meets his end, I was confused. I didn’t have a problem with him dying but I had a problem with how he died. It seems like he didn’t matter and his death served no real purpose to the game. I still don’t understand the overall theme, I heard it’s about letting go of revenge. That doesn’t make sense.... It’s a weak plot. In a world overrun by a deadly virus and tribalism, revenge is more of a motivation than a burden. If anything if revenge was something I wanted...The ending is incredibly underwhelming and makes me feel the hours I spent on it wasn’t worth it. I don’t care if a game has amazing graphics and great mechanics. If the story is terribly written then it’s not worth playing. This game isn’t even playable the first time, I had to force myself. You can’t play this game more than once. I will be returning my copy right now actually. This is the last time I buy a Naughty Dog game. As a huge fan of the Last Of Us part 1, I bought the game on ps3 and ps4. Played them multiple times and played the online portion. Although, the game was always great because of its good story telling. Waiting 7 years and I’m dissatisfied and disappointed. Who is making these decisions? Don’t they have writers at Naughty Dog? If they had 7 years, that was more than enough time to polish a game, there’s no excuse. Whoever is in charge of this game needs to be held responsible and Naughty Dog need to own up to their mistakes rather than attacking their customers and disrespecting them for not liking their low quality product. In my eyes, the Last of Us ended with the first game, the second never happened....… Expand

    This game is so bad that its not good. A politically correct piece of bread baked to shove agendas down the people's throat. Games should be about escapism not to force agendas and ideas down the people's throat it's akin to dictatorship. Play got instead.

    This game is a perfect example of critics pushing it because it serves a progressive liberal agenda, regardless of whether it's good or not. The game takes everything good from the first game and throws it down the drain.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jogo ruim, pura lacração!

    Parte 1

    - Abby, filha de um dos "vagalumes" mortos pelo Joel no jogo 1 é introduzida como uma das protagonistas do game.
    - Ellie descobre o que Joel fez para salvá-la e fica com raiva dele.
    - Uma garota chamada Dina, ex-namorada de um oriental chamado Jesse, se apaixona por Ellie e beija ela na frente do vilarejo inteiro.
    - Abby aparece e mata Joel igual à um porco usando um taco de golfe. Joel morre de forma humilhante, tendo sua cabeça arrebentada igual à uma melância podre, bem na frente de Ellie que chegou ao local para tentar salvá-lo.
    - Ellie então parte em busca de vingança e mata vários dos comparsas da Abby. Mas quando encontra ela, toma um pau junto com sua namorada. Jesse, ex da Dina morre, e Tommy (irmão do Joel) toma um tiro na cara, mas sobrevive.

    Parte 2

    - O Game para e agora mostra Abby, a mulher maromba como protagonista. Você descobre sobre tudo que ela viveu até ali, que era apaixonada por um cara que era casado com outra, que ela e seus amigos eram desertores do grupo WLF.
    - Abby é capturada pelos Seraphites (um grupo religioso extremista preconceituoso), mas foge de lá com duas minas japas, sendo que uma delas, pensa que é homem (é trans).
    - Abby então descobre que Ellie estava matando seus amigos e parte em busca dela, acha a Ellie e aí mata o Jesse, atira no Tommy e dá um pau na Ellie e na Dina (igual eu disse antes ali em cima). Mas não mata elas, pois a oriental trans lá, pede pra ela não fazer isso.
    - Depois disso, Abby recebe um convite para se mudar para uma nova base dos Vagalumes, mas ela e seu(sua) amigo(a) oriental são capturadas por um grupo de caras que caçam pessoas e fazem elas de escravos.

    Parte 3

    - O jogo então corta e mostra Ellie e Dina vivendo numa fazendo e criando o filho que Dina teve com Jesse, como uma espécie de broken back mountain feminino. - Ellie ainda está perturbada e com vontade de matar a Abby.
    - Depois de uma visita de Tommy, Ellie resolve ir de atrás de sua vingança. Dina diz que se Ellie for, ela terminará com ela e não estará mais ali quando Ellie voltar.
    - Ellie vai mesmo assim, invade o acampamento dos "escravizadores", mata mais uma pá de gente até que acha Abby, que agora tava toda judiada, magra e sem músculos.
    - Ellie ajuda os escravos a escapar, mas desafia Abby para uma luta, ameaçando matar o(a) amigo(a) oriental da Abby.
    - Abby aceita e as duas saem no soco. Dessa vez Ellie vence e começa a afogar Abby no mar, porém, Abby arranca dois dedos de Ellie com uma mordida. Ellie não desiste e continua enforcando ela, até que, do nada lembra do Joel, e libera Abby, perdoando-a e deixando-a fugir com seu(sua) amigo(a).
    - Ellie volta pra sua fazenda, mas Dina não está lá. Ellie então tenta tocar o violão que Joel lhe deu e não consegue, porque ficou sem dois dedos.    … Expand

    It's legitimately the worst game ever made, in fact calling this a game is kind of silly, since it isn't actually suited to the medium. It should have just been a **** unpleasant movie instead of an unpleasant game. Don't buy this atrocity.

Killing Joel was a bad move, then Ellie goes and kills a bunch of WLF, Jesse dies, then when you’re about to kill Abby, you let her go! What type of **** is that? The story is super sloppy and messy. I couldn’t even bring myself to continue playing the game. The only good part is the environment and the graphics. Story is utter dog ****… Expand

    How can the story have gone so awry! Also, I don't like agendas in games. We play games for escapism not for agendas! This is a game about survival in a post apocalyptic universe, honestly not a great place to push any agendas!! So much effort put into a game but the story, the story, just can't get over how bad it is . Cannot finish this game.

    I am going to start off by saying that if you enjoyed The Last of Us 2, you have every right to enjoy it and praise it. I am also happy for those that were drawn into it's story and characters.

    As someone who's always excited for a new Naughty Dog experience, this title just didn't do it for me this time around. It could've been just the overall vibe of this game is very nihilistic,    I am going to start off by saying that if you enjoyed The Last of Us 2, you have every right to enjoy it and praise it.

    As someone who's always excited for a new Naughty Dog experience, this title just didn't do it for me this time around. It could've been just the overall vibe of this game is very nihilistic, but it's story/themes just craft a very hollow experience. After sluggishly finishing the 2nd half of the game I knew this would be the first and only time I would complete this title. Although it isn't all bad the game is by far one of the most graphically impressive titles on the PS4 to date and I applaud the lengths ND when with the accessibility features(granted it brakes the game with certain features on).
    In the end this title feels below average especially coming from an industry titan like Naughty Dog; it surely isn't a 0/10 nor is it a 10/10. An below average story with tired gameplay.

    The positive reviewers like to act like they are making good points when arguing why Joel was meant to die. No one disagrees Joel deserved to die, he was never established as a morally good character and he made a selfish decision which condemned the human race. No one is angry Joel died we are angry about how he died. My take on this would be much different if we were introduced to Abby long before she brutally murders Joel. They set them self up with an insurmountable task of creating empathy for Abby. And they didn't even try, we got a ten minute scene where she saves a Zebra with her father then they reveal Abby is the person who convinced them Ellie should be murdered to save humanity. If the writers are trying to make the player empathize with Abby why would they establish her as the one who condemned Ellie which inevitably led to Joel killing her father?

    Later on in the story we are introduced to Lev who saves Abbys life. This prompts Abby to betray the wolves to save Lev. This decision of Abbys feels like a fruitless attempt by the writers to establish Abby as a morally good character in order to gain empathy from the audience. They're trying to define Abby as selfless contrary to her making numerous selfish decisions. It's hard to say anything for certain about Abby's character because every other decision is conflicting. One moment she is selfless the next she is selfish. When it comes to condemning Ellie her morals are for the good of the many but when it comes to saving Lev her morals are for the good of the few. She gets very angry when she finds out Ellie has killed her friends yet she's already betrayed these friends and was prepared to leave these friends behind to help Lev.

    The story overall is nonsensical and revolves around and characters literally abandoning and losing everything in a fruitless quest for revenge. Both Abby and Ellie quite literally sacrificed everything over avenging the deaths of two people in a world where everyone has lost someone. Death and violence is around almost every corner of this world. Yet for whatever reason these two people are so special our characters travel thousands of miles killing hundreds to enact their revenge. Even after watching the bond which is formed between Joel and Ellie in the first game I have a hard time believing that Joel's death was enough to bring on this murderous rampage. Especially after Joel and Ellie’s rough relationship has been established.

    This world isn't the same world we were put into in the first game. There is no hope in this world, there is only violence and sadness. The violence is so over the top that by the end of the game I was completely numb to it all. The game heavily relies on shock value that was brought about through overly violent and grotesque actions perpetrated towards beloved characters which was so overly used it left me feeling nothing when the game came to it's final conclusion and this mattered the most. At no point were we given any sort of relief or loving character development which gave us respite from the sadness and violence of this world previously. In the first game Ellie provided 90% of this relief from the awful world we were witnessing. But she is now a shadow of her former self, despite spending her years safe and sheltered in a settlement with electricity she has completely lost the spark we saw in the first game. The conclusion of the game is hollow, hundreds die in this needless revenge plot and one singular person being saved who the player has established no empathy for is supposed to bring meaning to all the meaningless violence.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game was not totally awful, the world was beautiful and the gameplay mostly kept you on your toes. The story was the largest disappointment of the game. Killing Joel in the first hour, playing as his killer who we have grown to hate while the game tries to make us sympathize with her as we play as her character for an extended portion of the game. The worst part was that Abby’s story turned out to be way more captivating than Ellie’s. There were more interesting characters who actually grew from their experiences before they were ultimately killed (kind of disappointing but not unexpected). The ending was the worst for me ultimately reaching Ellie’s climax and then deciding not to go through with killing Abby. What was this whole story for? Had she forgot about all the people who died or her family who she left behind. That was truly disappointing to watch. However, I realize story is not all that makes a game. As I said before I enjoyed the gameplay and having to outwit or outgun my enemies in certain areas while scavenging for materials or ammunition. I also enjoyed all the notes you could read to immerse yourself into the world. Overall, I was disappointed. It was not a bad game but it was certainly not the 10/10 game that all the critics had rated it. (The only spoiler I knew ahead of time was the Joel would die).… 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.
