    This is a perfect game. In my opinion just as good as the first game. Dont believe the userscore on metacritic. Most are butthurt children who has their own game in mind.

    Honestly, one of the biggest disappointments of this year. The game has great graphics and decent gameplay, but the story, the focal point of this game is immensely awful in comparison to the first part. If all you care about is gameplay and graphics, the game is definitely playable, but if you're looking for a good story, it's just not there (at least for me).

Best game I've ever played, but it's obviously not perfect, I think it had too much gameplay time with Abby, and I think Joel coul fight more before he died, anyway, the story is incredible, the gameplay is great, the graphics are very well done, dubbing is good and the soundtrack is beautiful.
    I have never played anything like this game before and it was certainly an unforgettable experience.    … Expand

Storia avvincente e piena di emozioni, ma avrei comunque preferito che ci fosse una backstory di Abby per empatizzare poi col suo personaggio e ci fosse dato più tempo ad inizio gioco per approfondire il nuovo rapporto tra Joel ed Ellie… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Acredito que apesar dos grandes pontos negativos que o jogo possui, não acho que o jogo é uma decepção porque claramente podemos ver que o jogo mostra que isso é a realidade, personagens que nos amamos como o Joel não deixam de ser humanos o jogo trata claramente uma história de vingança mas o jogo mostra outras coisas além da historia devemos levar em consideração que o jogo não tem gráficos,sons,jogabilidade,ambientação ruins.Estamos tristes com a morte do Joel porque estamos acostumados com o personagem em minha opinião o jogo teria três grandes pontos negativos, a morte do Joel, a história que trata uma vingança, e o fato de controlar uma personagem que queremos muito ver morta mas o jogo mostra que a família dos personagens que o Joel matou não deixaram isso para traz o que é o caso da Abby que definitivamente sofreu muito pelas ações ofensivas tomadas pelo Joel, então o jogo quer nos mostrar que apesar de amarmos o Joel e a Ellie ambos são seres humano e que as famílias das pessoas que deixamos mortas não esqueceram o que aconteceu por mim o jogo recebe essa nota porque apesar do jogo ter esses pontos negativos o jogo nos trás sentimentos e ideis que nunca iremos esquecer Obrigado… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, critics are useless. Nobody should ever listen to them ever again, they've proven to me that they are not to be trusted. on to the review:
    Graphics... That's the only good thing about this. Everything else is either mediocre or down right awful. The game play did not evolve one bit since 2013. It's still a walking simulator that's more a movie than a game, which would be enjoyable if it had a good story but God damn is it bad. The story simply broke my heart and not in the good way. It's like a spit in the face of the entire fan base. It's like the worst fan fiction you could possibly find. Seriously? This is what you came up after 7 years? Did Twitter write this game? It's full of plot holes and the characters you fell in love with in the first game are completely ruined and you are forced to play with the character that ruined them. I don't mind the woke stuff but when so much of it is obviously forced down your throat it feels like the entire game was built around it so if people don't like it you can pull the victim card and say that they are ists and phobes and whatever. And the director to preach so much about sexualising women in games is bad only than to put that Abby scene in the game? I can't unsee that. WTF were you thinking? I'd rather watch 2 girls one cup on repeat while eating. Let me tell you a little secret western game devs. People are playing games for entertainment and they'd rather see pretty things while doing it than ugl.. excuse me FUGLY ones! This is never going to change. How is sexualising men was never an issue? People don't like to be preached to and to be told what to think. In a video game setting, that choice should be always ours.
    Overall, I don't recommend this, especially if you were a fan of the previous one. maybe buy it when it's on a massive sale. Shame    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to get this out upfront: my major problem with the game is that I was forced to play half of it as a character I didn’t care about at all and that I felt nothing for. The entire time I was just hoping I could go back to playing as Ellie. And you do come back to her—after 10 plus hours as Abby. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against new characters but I don’t think we needed a new playable one. In fact, I love Jesse, Dina, Yarra, and Lev. They all felt much easier to connect to than Abby, who feels like a weird attempt at an “Ellie 2.0,” just more physically imposing and less emotionally impactful. I’ve heard a few people say they loved Abby but that’s a sentiment that I personally can’t share. Similarly, I didn’t much care about Abby’s group of WLF friends; Owen felt one dimensional and he and Abby’s relationship didn’t resonate for me, likely due to a lack of chemistry between the actors. I never really connected to Mel or Manny either. Manny felt like the most charismatic but seeing him spit on Joel’s dead body kind of ruined any chance he had of winning me over. Let me also say this: I don’t mind that Joel died. I would, however, have liked to have seen it executed better for a more meaningful impact. A lot of the death in this game happens really quickly and then is kind of brushed over; I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to connect to Jesse only to have him shot in the face in a split second after walking through a door. I understand that this is supposed to convey a sense of reality; you don’t always see death coming and it can happen in an instant, no matter the context. But this is fiction and these are potentially great characters thrown away too soon for what feels like shock value. If we weren’t supposed to suspend our disbelief when it comes to death in video games then Joel falling on a rebar and living wouldn’t have worked in the first Last of Us. So why are fantastic characters dropping like flies only to let this bland one walk away at the end? To be fair, this game had some great moments, most of them in the first half. Ellie and Dina’s relationship has been my favorite in games, and media in general, in a long time. The natural chemistry they have and the incredible voice acting by Ashley Johnson and Shannon Woodward makes you feel for these characters the way we felt for Joel and Ellie in the first game. Troy Baker also does a phenomenal job, especially in the final flashback scene of the game where Joel is breaking down but fighting to hold himself together. You could feel the nuance in every voice crack, sigh, and sniffle. The thematic song thread Joel introduces at the beginning tugged at my heartstrings and every time it came back up throughout the story I could honestly feel a small bit of the first game’s spirit creeping into this sequel. The same can be said for the incredible Ellie and Joel flashback moments, each one giving us a glimpse at what we missed in the five year time jump between Part 1 and now. The game is undeniably visually stunning; the art direction is fantastic and every environment is unique and fascinating, down to the lighting. The gameplay is revamped and slightly expanded, allowing the player new methods of movement like a prone option for stealth and crevices to squeeze through to escape infected or get the drop on an enemy. The combat feels good and the impact is definitely felt with every punch you take and each one you deal. Shooting is more or less the same as the first game with bullet drop (and arrow drop). The upgrade paths are great but with the story split between two characters it’s seemingly impossible to upgrade everything in one go unless you have your resources setting set to “very light” so the game basically gives you loot everywhere you go. There is a new game plus option to keep all your upgrades while you play through again but I honestly don’t see myself playing more than once. I’m just not interested in sitting through Abby’s story a second time, not to mention the contrived plot points that exist solely to move the story in this specific direction. I personally don’t understand why this game is getting 10/10 scores or being touted as a “masterpiece.” Half of it was great—the other half felt like one of those movies that has you checking your watch every couple minutes. As this is a story-driven game, I have to dock a couple points at least for a poorly executed story with really good highlights. The gameplay is by far the best part but the fun of it is hindered when you don’t feel invested while playing as someone other than Ellie. Which, again, is half the time. I hope they end the franchise here because I just can’t see it regaining that spark that made it so special to begin with. Or next time just let me play as Ellie, please, for God’s sake.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is great in some ways like its graphic, character reacations and so on. But the poor story telling make me uncomfortable. Abby could forgive Eille for killing her frineds and she just could not help herself crashing Joel's damn life. While I was playing as Abby, I changed the difficulty to easy, just to make her story pass fast. Honestly many players care nothing about Abby's story.

    An excellent game, maybe seen as bad because of the first part that was one of the most brillant game of his generation.
    Now Naughty Dogs tried to create an original scenario where most people just wanted to keep playing Joel, to keep playing a road trip, to keep playing the same game. People are just disappointed because they expected to play The last of us 1 again.

    Para mí a nivel de (graficos , banda sonora , diseño de niveles , detalles , el crapteo ) en estos apartados el juego es excelente. ((((HISTORIA))))
    Al principio del juego , hablo de las 2 primeras horas como da la casualidad que cuando ABBIE le está corriendo de los INFECTADOS da la casualidad que hay mismo cuando la están por coger los INFECTADOS se encuentra con joel y tommy y cuando llegan a la cabaña donde se encuentran los amigos de ABBIE da la casualidad que entran a un cuarto cerrado y joel un hombre que no confiaba ni en su propia sombra en el primer juego entra sin estar armado al cuarto cuando los amigos de ABBIE todos están armados hasta los diente y joel se confía y le da su nombre y ABBIE mata como un perro a joel una persona que en el primer juego CRUZO MEDIO MUNDO matando cientos de personas y infectados y viene ABBIE y lo mata con un palo de golf ((((FINAL))))

    El final me pareció unos de los momentos más desperdiciados del juego como va hacer que ELLIE lleva meses buscando a ABBIE y cuando por fin la encuentra le perdona la vida y cuando termina el juego me deja con muchas preguntas y quisiera que me las aclaren en un futuro dlc.

    In the first place - the game is great. If you really want to feel intensity of it, do not wantch anything on internet as it spoils all the fun and ruins the moment of surprise. It is similar to Game of Thrones - if you knew how Rob Starks wedding would end, it would not be same as when you watched it without knowing how that wedding ends.

    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.
