    Mediocre just like the first one. No significant improvements in gameplay. Let's wait see if part 3 will improve anything, otherwise it's going to be a 3rd mod of uncharted.

I don't Mind Joel dying but do it in a smartly written way that respects the character and fans which Neil **** did not do and then afterwards I've got to play as Abby yep that was a wrap for me, also when Ellie confronts Abby she kills all her group then spares her in the last minute. It's one of the worst endings I've seen in a game EVER … Expand

    Isso foi tão patético, e tão triste, com um jogo incrível que tinha um potencial la nas alturas, na minha opinião, não passa de um desrespeito com o primeiro game, que ao menos ainda funciona sozinho como o jogo incrível que esse sim é.

    ND did almost the same with Uncharted - I remember how I feared for Nate during the last couple hours of U4. But TLOU - as a series, it’s the most adult storytelling you‘ll find in a game to date. This shows, what the medium is capable of.

    The ending left me in tears.

    Not to mention the technological excellent the game is made of. It looks so incredibly good...you have to see and hear it.

    I promise you, it’s not the overhyped game, a lot of people think it is. It’s a real masterpiece.
    Take the ride, you won’t regret it. Even if it’s hard to swallow all the violence especially towards the end. It’s worth to get through it.

    I am so happy, a studio like ND exists. So curious to see, what they’re gonna do on PS5.

    BTW...@metacritic: please get rid of the fake reviews. Most of them look like bots. Nobody was able to finish the game on the same day of its release.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best story-driven game I've ever played. I have never had a form of media make me feel the way this did. I felt the peace of Jackson at the beginning. I felt Ellie's pain and subsequent rage when her father figure was killed. Surprisingly, I felt Abby's heartbreak when she saw her father dead on the hospital floor, knowing that 7 years ago, I, as a player, am responsible for it. Most of the characters are fantastic. I grew to empathize with some that I hated, and disliked some of the characters that I loved. All through Naughty Dog's masterful storytelling. From a technical standpoint, I don't think we'll see something on this level until a sequel to God of War (2018) or GTA 6 should that ever created. The environments, animations, A.I., everything about the gameplay is fantastic. The large open areas down to the darkest rooms all have such great attention to detail that aids in fully immersing you into the world. The fact that playing as 2 different characters felt so different was amazing. Ellie feels agile, swift in her movements and kills. Abby on the other hand feels like a wrecking ball, capable of barreling through an enemy that's in her way. All of the weapons have a distinct feel, especially the melee weapons, which make you feel every swing you make. This game was everything I wanted it to be, even though it was nothing like what I expected. I understand why others are disappointed, but you have to go into it with an open mind. If you do, the experience will be something you never forget and it won't be matched in a very, very long time.… Expand

    Game is solid. Doesn't stand up to the hype. Combat is servicable. Slow and clunky. No one really thought the highlight of the original was the combat system, but it makes a return with minimal improvement. 6/10

    Graphics 10/10, this isn't surprising. It really is the highlight of the game. Everything that's done is mediocre, but you can experince mediocrity with a very pretty back drop.    Game is solid.

Level design: lures you into a false sense of freedom, but all paths branch from, and converge on conflict areas that are completely unavoidable. There's little to do in the environment, with most exploration only rewarded with resources. Other than resources the only reward for exploration is the games collectables. If you ever wanted a coin/card collecting simulator, this game is for you! 6/10

    Story: hate it. A simple revenge story that could have been entertaining, if the story didn't keep bashing you on the head very well known concepts. Yes, revenge comes at great personal cost... Yes, death and loss is traumatic... Yes, revenge starts a cycle of retaliation... it's almost condescending in it's constant harping on the theme. Almost as if the writers thought they had stumbled onto something new and profound. it falls apart in a final act that feels like all characters just completely lose all pre-conceived concepts and even common sense... and in the final scene it goes from harping on a simple theme, to trying to interject some new motivation that actually needs explaining, but does not. 3/10

    I'd give it a 5, which is the average.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished the game yesterday and honestly, I'm just frustrated. I played TLOU 1 for the first time in 2014 (the remastered edition) and I loved it, so I was very hyped when the sequel was announced. The thing is this game is just awful. I was able to avoid all mayor spoilers but if I knew this was going to be this bad, I wouldn't have spent 70 dollars in this crap.
    SPOILERS BELOW

    Now, to start, the graphics are great but the gameplay is pretty much like in TLOU1 with some new additional mechanics. They could've changed the general gameplay in those 7 years between 1 and 2, but after all, it works. Those are the only things "good" things I can say about this game.

    Now, why the game sucks.
    Just within the first 2/3 hours not only does the game has major plot holes, but it kills Joel. Literally, it just kills him in the worst way possible. The problem with this is that Joel is the best character of the first game, and to have him killed of like that just sucks. Joel's death is the reason why Ellie sets out on a revenge quest... which hardly feels as one. Not a single moment makes you feel like you are avenging Joel, it just feels like Ellie going in a killing rampage just because of the sake of it.

    Then there is the problem with Ellie. My issue isn't with her being a lesbian. No, the problem is that she is not the likable and compelling character that she was in the first game, her personality is weak and she's just a plain, unlikable teenager that kills people. She is no longer that great character that transformed Joel in the first game. Apart from that, the game sets her in a revenge quest, in which she kills lots of people in order to reach and kill Abby(Joel's killer) only to let her go because, apparently, violence is bad (even tho you've just killed hundreds of people in the last 24 hours). It makes the game pointless and it sucks, because the ONLY person you really wanted to kill is the only one that you can't, it's just crap.

    Other issue with this game is the hole Abby thing. The fact that you must use her as a character half of the time sucks. Why would I want to play as Joel's killer? She's a bad character and it's impossible to enjoy playing as her. I bought the game to play with either Joel or Ellie, not this crappy character.

    And finally, in consequence of this, the game ends up being just... violence, which for a 24-hour game ends up being repetitive. The first one was violent, sure, but it also had great storytelling, great characters and character development. This game lacks one of the best things about its predecessor that is the relationship between Joel and Ellie.

    I waited this game for years and for them to make such a terrible one just disappointed me. They introduced a new, awful character who you are forced to play with, destroyed Ellie's character and killed off Joel, their best character, in the worst and stupidest way possible. The story ended up being crap and ruined what could've been one of the best franchises in videogame history. I’m giving this game a 2 instead of a 1 only because of the gameplay and graphics. Do yourself a favour and don't buy it, save that money.    … Expand

    Absolutely adored the game. There were some moments in the second act of the story that dragged for me but ultimately it was fantastic. Gameplay is great, combining elements from the first game with brand new techniques, moves and styles. New styles of infected are terrifying and the different settings have so much to explore in them

Acompanhamos a jornada de Ellie em busca de vingança pelo assassinato de Joel, a primeira vista parece algo muito clichê e básico e não deixa de ser, mas a forma como isso é abordado em pequenos momentos é de tirar o fôlego. Sinto que simpatizei tanto com a solidão da Ellie que me senti mal por ver ela correr atrás de vingança, sentindo tanto ódio que chegava a doer, em diversos momentos é perceptível que ela está perdida e se agarrando nesse sentimento, e sinceramente eu não vi ela se sentir aliviada ao assassinar os amigos de Abby diretamente envolvidos no ato, pelo contrário, vemos ela traumatizada e repleta de tormentos. Ao conhecermos a perspectiva de Abby, sentimos raiva e nos perguntamos o por que de estarmos sendo forçados a ver o lado da então "vilã" e ao longo da história percebemos que Abby não é vilã, na verdade, ela é muito parecida com Ellie e Joel, para mim, ver a cena em que ela tira a vida de Joel de um ângulo diferente, só me prova que logo após o ato, ela não sente alívio, não sente nada. Ao longo da gameplay ela conhece Lev e Yara e assim como Joel, torna aquilo o motivo dela viver, e numa breve conversa com Lev, demonstra culpa por algo que ela fez, e sim, gosto de acreditar que Abby se arrepende de ter buscado vingança.… Expand

Who the hell thought seriously that it's a good Idea to kill a main character using a complete unlikable brat, nobody knew or wanted in the game? Gameplay-wise TLOU2 doesn't offer much new, but it's good made. I give one point for the great graphic and animations, and one point for the effort with the actors and sound effects. Also one point for the atmosphere. And that's it. I'm not impressed.… Expand

    This game was something else for me, I found my heart beating so hard at so many times that I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I cried, I hated Abby but ended up understanding everything, I wanted to push Ellie so hard at the end to make her let everything go after seeing what happened to both of them.
    I get why everyone is so mad at the developers and the writers but this is what had to happen from the beginning, all the death and the hate and the sadness had to come, along with us learning to see both sides as something good.

    One of the best games I’ve ever played so far, I’m glad that everyone put so much effort into it and I’m happy that The Last of Us got such an ending.    … Expand
