    the previous was game was a much better more atmospheric and more relatable than this title.
    felt morally sanctimonious , killed of one of the more interesting characters in gaming and switched it to someone bland and rustic
    I'm very disappointed with naughty dog .
    probably would not support their games in the coming future.
    and this game definitely doesn't deserve game of the year title .    … Expand

    Gameplay was decently fun. Story was hot steamy garbage. I will not be playing through this game again and usually I replay games over twice. The characters seem to be driven by whatever the plot needs at the time. Weak 2/10

    REVIEW EM PORTUGUÊS:

    Uma das maiores decepções no mundo dos jogos.

    O começo é totalmente sem sentido e tedioso, tendo em mãos que você anda mais que joga, a introdução da história é totalmente desconexa com o primeiro jogo, quando se trata da morte do Joel, já que no primeiro jogo ele é um paranoico que não confia em ninguém e no segundo ele já entrega o nome dele para uma desconhecida, e acaba morto por isso.
    A parte em que a Ellie e a Dina juntam para fumar maconha na hora da patrulha (isso mesmo, chaparam na hora da patrulha) é outra parte que não faz o menor sentido, visto que elas tinham uma tarefa no momento.

    A gameplay do jogo é muito "cinemática", quando você faz um ataque corpo a corpo contra um inimigo, você pode estar a metros dele, mesmo assim tem uma força gravitacional que te puxa para o inimigo para que você continue o ataque.
    O jogo é de exploração, mas parece que ele não quer que você explore, toda vez que você "demora" muito para explorar certa área, e o jogo coloca um botão de dica na tela, fazendo o jogador de trouxa.
    Também tem um uso excessivo de quick time events, por exemplo: tem certas partes em que você precisa abrir uma porta, mas está emperrada, então você precisa apertar quadrado duas vezes para abri-la, e isso o jogo INTEIRO.

    A história não é das melhores mas também não é tão ruim, só acho que eles deram um foco muito grande na relação da Dina com a Ellie que pareceu algo forçado para chamar atenção de um certo público. A Dina é uma personagem com um carisma forçado, e muito chata, não para de falar por um minuto sequer.
    Quando você chega em certo ponto do jogo, você joga quase que toda a campanha novamente só que com a Abby, a antagonista, o jogo tenta fazer o jogador entender o ponto de vista da Abby mas só mostra que ela é uma brutamonte psicopata que não tem remorso nem de matar o próprio povo.
    Quando você termina de jogar a parte da Abby, o jogo já está quase no final, mas você não tem aquele sentimento de que está acabando, e quando sobem os créditos você fica com uma impressão de "é só isso?".

    Meus únicos pontos positivos sobre o jogo são o gore, que é sensacional e visceral, a direção de arte, que é uma das melhores que eu já vi em um jogo, aquela parte da fazenda é linda, e por fim, os gráficos que são muito bons, e não confundam o ingame com as CGs, já que o jogo transita muito bem quando precisa.

    Em conclusão, não é um bom jogo, você consegue se divertir em algumas partes mas a maior parte do jogo é extremamente chata e tediosa.

    ENGLISH REVIEW:

    One of my biggest disappointments about gaming.

    The begging is extremely boring, too much walking and awful dialogues and nonsense events (like Joel's death and Ellie smoking weed while she had important things to do at that moment, like wtf she was thinking??).

    The gameplay is too "fake", when you attack a enemy it seems that there is this gravitational force that pulls you to the enemy so you can kill him. The game is about exploring but it seems that it doesn't want you to explore it, because every time you take too long exploring, the game gives you a tip button, and this is so ridiculous, making the player an idiot.
    There is also this overuse of quick time events, for example: there are many times in the game where you are opening a door but the door is stuck, so you need to press the square button two times, and it happens through the whole game, it's so annoying.

    The story isn't that bad but is not also good, Dina is one of the most annoying and terrible character I've ever seen in a videogame, she doesn't stops talking for a single minute during the walkthroug, and the game is always focusing in Ellie and Dina's relationship when it isn't something that important to the story, it gave me the impression of trying to call certain people attention.

    When you get in certain point of the game, you have to play it all again but with Abby, that is the game's antagonist. They try to make you understand Abby's point of view but they just show you that Abby is just a freak psychopath that doesn't even cares about killing her own people.
    When you finish to play the whole Abby's part, the game is near to the end, but the game doesn't even cares about showing the player that you are almost in the end, you don't have that feeling of finishing a game.

    My only positive points to this work is the gore, that is just amazing, the graphics that are great and the art direction that is one of the best i have ever seen in gaming industry.

    In conclusion, is not a good game, there are some fun parts, but the biggest part of the game is extremely boring.

    Sorry about any spell or writing mistake, English is not my first language, I tried.    … Expand

    Decent gameplay mechanics, but the story sucked so much that i was really disinterested for long parts of the game hoping it would somehow improve, which i doesn't. Really disappointed that i gave the game a shot despite the negative reviews.
    In Conclusion DON'T BUY, this game SUCKSSS!!

Did Naughty Dog seriously think they could get you to sympathise with and like someone that killed one of the most beloved characters in video game history. What a bunch of donkeys. At least this game gives me hydration from the tears of the SJW’s trying to defend this dead game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic gameplay, graphics, sound(including voice acting). Yet I feel like I’ve been slapped in the face, they brutalized Joel, (a beloved character) by this hulk psychopath (female?) character, who they then force you to control all the while trying to develop this connection, when in fact you just hate it everything about “Abby” screams die in a fire yet, they make you keep on truckin’. Then the SJW crap my god.... it’s sooooo woke. WAKE up people, it’s set approximately 30 years after the zombie apocalypse, 13 year old kids ( who by the way grows up in an antiquated tribe like environment), will not have the “decadent luxury” of deciding they’re going to choose their gender... they’ll be a little preoccupied with, you know not dying... oh and they also won’t have the fantastic media we have today to push narratives on troubled or mentally ill youth. All that being said the gameplay and most of the other factors of the actual VIDEO GAME work great, play it on mute and for gods sake skip the cutscenes. Shame first game way almost completely story driven this one just makes me angry.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To resume: I didn't even blink playing TLOU 1 but with this, I was bored many times and I had to turn of the console and rest. After an unnecessary forced, looooong, repetitive and no sense story/gameplay I wished many times to end but no, there was always more...

    Graphics are outstanding.

    Music is good, but it is not as highlighted as it was in the first game so, it loses power. Gameplay is repetitive

    Story is so forced, it was a cool idea but not so well developed IMO.

    I don't feel like I was playing a game created by the same team. At the end when the game asked me if I wanted to play again, I was like, I don't think so. (I played the first TLOU like 6 times)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the game is very good the problem is that so many characters develop that the protagonists are basically undeveloped and exploited which makes the game bad in the story which is its greatest potential

    Joel dying for such a silly and futile reason made death serve only to have a reason for the game to start but that was very pathetic coming from Joel who is a guy who detonates an entire army

    Basically Joel's death was very forced and in the end the other deaths are just boring and boring

    This game does not reach the feet of the old and unfortunately the script resources available to the creators were very badly used

    Now it is just a game of stealth and "horror" with a boring, uninteresting, meaningless story that passes very stupid moral lessons like "revenge is not worth it and blah blah blah '    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of us was a masterpiece. The story the scope the way it drew you in. Last of us 2 had the potential to do all that but sadly Last of us 2 misses this completely. Story - told in a way to cause outrage and manipulate your feelings, why not play as abbey form start get her story and then you get involved. Because of way story works I hated playing as her from the start and rushed her story because I just wanted to kill her. Then the ending is no split decision you just walk off, the choice is taken, and the pure double standards the game message gives you- so revenge is ok if it’s done by a female on a male she can go on and have a lovely time and not be effected , but if you try revenge on that you’ll be broken and shattered makes no sense and writers should be ashamed of themselves for ruining what was one of the greatest legacies. Visually - superb probably the most beautiful game I’ve played on PS4 just a shame I hated playing every second of it due to the story.

    Gameplay- well it’s not a buggy mess like so many games out today and was good to play where I wasn’t rushing through a story about characters I didn’t care about but there was no brand new innovation. Lack of new ideas here. Conclusion - I want a refund. Like it’s predecessor it lacked new ideas and relied on its story, unlike its predecessor the story instead of making it a great game completely ruined the game. To give this game the meta score in its 90’s has me worried for the future of the gaming industry. If it didn’t have the predecessor it had it would have scored a 3/5 because it does it drops a point for **** all over it’s legacy.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For some reason, the game wants you to like abey more than Ellie, and to top it all off they kill JOEL, yes the MAIN character from the first game is KILLED immediately. you play as him for only FIVE MINUTES. I'm disappointed in naughty dog for ruining the game for me, I loved the first game and everything that made it so good is missing from this game. They could have made a good trilogy by having abey as a friend in the start of the game and then having her turn on you and kill joel because he killed her dad. That's how the game should've went and then the third game would've been Ellie going after abey and being at war with her and her friends. Even the ending is stupid. You finally find abey and have the chance to kill her but the game won't allow you to kill her which makes the whole game pointless. If abey had killed my friends there would be no hesitation in killing her. Ellie's friends died so she can kill abey, she even left her girlfriend and own child behind to go kill abey. So she loses everything to kill abey but doesn't kill abey. So she lost everything for no reason. she gave up her own family for no reason. So you're left unsatisfied because you wanted abey to die but you can't kill her. Please do not but this game especially if you're a huge fan of the first game.… 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.
