    Let me put it this way. The game has been released in the last 24h. IT has 11.845 negative reviews as of this writing and most popular games don´t even get half that number of reviews in the first 24h. To put that into perspective to you. The Witcher 3 that was released years ago only has a total of 14000 user reviews on the PS4. People just decided to hate and review bomb TLOU2 forLet me put it this way. The game has been released in the last 24h. IT has 11.845 negative reviews as of this writing and most popular games don´t even get half that number of reviews in the first 24h. To put that into perspective to you. The Witcher 3 that was released years ago only has a total of 14000 user reviews on the PS4. People just decided to hate and review bomb TLOU2 for whatever reason.
    So here´s an actual honest opinion. I just finished the game. And pretty much it's impossible for anyone to have finished it in just 24h. A long side the main story the game has several side content for you to explore. So if you do that not only is it an enjoyable experience but also it will take you longer to finish. What I can tell you right away is that only after the first hours of the game I not only got hooked but It became clear to me how talented Naughty Dog is at world building, storytelling and at gameplay. You need to play this to understand how detailed and deep the game is. But still if you really are on the fence, go watch some actual early gameplay videos that will allow you to understand what the game is all about. You'll see that the game is much better than what 11000 people claim to be only after the first 24h. Open your mind people. You built your own perception of what the sequel should be without even giving it a fair chance. It is because of how you are abusing the Metacritic system that it stops being useful for consumers that actual want a real impression on the product. Metacritic the way I see it you need to start asking for proof that a person actually bough the product in order to submit reviews. Anyway. If you finished the game and didn't like it I respect your opinion. But for me this is a groundbreaking game. One of the first or at least most impactful tragic game story. This is what people dont understand. They ask developers to be more original and when they do it they're criticized for doing it. Let me put it this way . People who love this game will forever hate it. And thats what is so good about it. Welcome to tragedy in video games. Thank you for having the courage to do it Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    All of the negative reviews come from those who cant stand the fact that there are women and LGBT representation in the game. If you don't give a damn about that, this game is a must play.

    A pure masterpiece like no other game in history. It’s just worth buying a PlayStation 4 only and only to experience this single game. Experience it as soon as possible cause these kinds of gems come out only once or twice in every decade.

    Não sei o que as pessoas estão pensando, você pode até não concordar com a historia e com os rumos que os personagens tomaram, mas isso não tira em nada de como o jogo por um todo é bem executado, narrativa nota 10, jogabilidade 10, trilha sonora 10, gráfico são os melhores da geração então 10.

    This is the game that the world doesn't deserve. This is more than just a game. You can't tell me and absolutely can't tell me that you hate the game just because Joel dies in the first 3 hours. You can't tell me that because if you tell me that that means you are just an ignorant "fan". My favorite game off all time is The Last of Us. My favorite character from all the games i've playedThis is the game that the world doesn't deserve. This is more than just a game. You can't tell me and absolutely can't tell me that you hate the game just because Joel dies in the first 3 hours. You can't tell me that because if you tell me that that means you are just an ignorant "fan". My favorite game off all time is The Last of Us. My favorite character from all the games i've played in my entire life, and i played games for more than 15 years, is Joel. The most badass, cruel,friendly with some people and caring person ever made, in my opinion.I have tens of thousands of hours of playing singleplayer games and multiplayer games and almost none of them moved me in some type of way.Almost none, because there are few that acomplished that. There are a few games that made me feel emotions, happiness, anger, sadness and after finishing them they left me speechless. One of them, and the best of all is the The Last of Us. Part 2 did the same thing, sometimes it was more intense. But Part 1 is still my favorite game of all time, just because it was the first one, and it started it all. Part 2 is a darker game, a more violent game, and it isn't a bad thing, if you aren't a child, because the world where we live in it's just as dark as the game,but in other ways, because there are no zombies among us, but there are horrible things, but we can not see them because they are well hidden by we know who, and some people don't understand that. If you are upset that Ellie is a LGBTQ+ character, please, just go back some hundreds of years ago and live there. It is 2020 where every person should know that there are different persons on this planet, and everyone can love whatever gendere they want, and be what gender they want. Thi is part of the freedom we want and we have. This isn't a planet for a single type of persons, it is for all of us. And the part with politics that i am hearing, if that is actually true, we deserve that for our behaviour against simple things that we don't want to accept. You can't tell me that there is a better story telling game. But if you do, make sure that you played the entire game, played yourselves, and feel the game yourself, not on youtube watching a random youtuber, that has half of the brain required to think more about a story. This drives me crazy when i see streamers just calling this game "a piece of s**t", and they didn't play singleplayer games only by themselves and feel the games just on streams rading the chat. You should have your own opinion, if you are an open minded person, about this game.Ok they leaked a lot of things about the game, they leaked some untrue things, but this is marketing guys, this is how you do it, because if you don't people will lose interest. This was one of the most hyped games of all time, it had a bigger impact that everything else in the gaming history. This game is one of the best games ever made that the world is not understanding and that is why we don't deserve it.… Expand

    Masterpiece! This is a tour de force video game for Naughty Dog. A perfect aurevoir to the Playstation 4. The writing, design and gameplay are master class. If you have an appreciation for artistic vision and masterful technical execution, look no further. It almost seems impossible to fathom how this game isn't running on a next generation console.

    Wow. Absolutely breathtaking game, one of the finest ever made. If you’re legitimately here because you’ve never heard of The Last of Us. Please excuse the low ratings. It’s a bunch of sad little boys/men who have nothing better to do with their time than review bomb a game they haven’t even played.

    This game will leave you in the dirt hopeless challenging your will of reasoning. While showing you how sometimes it's hard to justify breaking the cycle.

    Naughty Dog has really challenged the industry and most importantly fans of story telling. Sometimes you find yourself laughing in small scenes just due to the hand gestures characters do or facial expressions. It's acting is done so well in the animation department that littlest animation done by a character can tell the whole dialogue.

    Naughty Dog has proven new industry standard tech in the game engine department with TLOU2. The smallest features go a long way in making this game feel like a full package. Pushing the current gen to it's limits with a sense understanding why they pushed the ps4 so far.

    I give this game a 9 because 30fps is hard to make TLOU2 a 10/10. Shooting games require high framerates for a sense of control when aiming. But thanks to aim assist it helps for the most part. And item's feel useless for the majority of the game. The story is gripping, the environment is beautiful but you don't feel that your exploration is paid off for. But maybe this is Naughty Dog's way of telling the story of the environment around you.

    Reviews will be bad from other user's. I understand why. Loss is hard and life is not always pretty and you may live a life of hardship during your full ride on this planet but it's up to you to break the cycle. How far can you go to find peace, closure or a sense of bliss to truly break the cycle?    … Expand

    This games builds off its predecessor in a brilliant way. Combat feels much more fluid and real, enemy AI is more responsive and the gameplay is bigger in every way. Some of the characters make decisions I wouldn’t necessarily agree with but the story is still top notch entertainment. This is a great pick up for any fan of survival horror games.

    I Liked the game, I didn't like it as much as the first game.

    Pros Loved playing as Ellie Combat was improved Graphics look good. (Except for film grain) Cons Not a fan of Abby Some of Abby's part felt force, they tried to make her likeable, It personally didn't work. AI was terrible at times, walking right past you, and they still don't see you. Film Grain. seraphites, I    I Liked the game, I didn't like it as much as the first game.

    seraphites, I thought these guys would have been great, they just live in huts, and brain wash people.

    Final thoughts: I do like TLOU2, the game was fun to play, but sadly half way through they send you on a quest that didn't need to happen.

    This is really the finest crafted game i have played story-wise. Way more ambitious and grand than the first outing. Also it has the most incredible level design i have experienced in a game.

Especially during the Abby missions. It´s dark, grim and demanding. You spend plenty of time in dark places and the flashlight you have is very well used this time.

    The story would probably disappoint many i am sure, but on a technical viewpoint, this game is fantastic. It is obvious that tons of work has been made on every little detail on the level designs. It has been 7 very long years well spent, and it shows. It was a deep, evolving, emotional and brutal journey. This is probably the most realistic post-apocalyptic setting there is. There is no happiness or optimism in a time set like TLOU universe.

    The ONLY downside is the pacing that can be slow in certain parts, and that is the only reason it misses the 10/10 from me. The are certain times during your exploring when you pretty much DO just that, Exploring and pacing around for long stretches before you even encounter an item even. Some areas seems dead certain places.

    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]
