    El juego es hermoso, combinan lo que es realmente el ser humano con un mundo post apocalíptico. Además tiene una narrativa estupenda que parece que tu mismo sientes como se sienten los personajes.
    La jugabilidad es fantástica, te hace sentir más libre.
    Y por último los temas de la trama quedan perfecto con lo que es realmente el juego.

Very unlikable characters. No thank you. Very disappointed.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abby sucks. As a die hard Naughty Dog fan I am truly disappointed. I have been with them since the first Crash release and have bought every single game along with countless amounts of related merchandise because I’ve always loved their gameplay and their stories. From my childhood games of Crash Bandicoot (the whimsical animations, fun level designs, and addictive EVERYTHING), to the incredible Jak series (which Jak 2 was the first game I ever preordered), to the FAN-freaking-TASTIC Uncharted series, I honestly didn’t think it could get any better. Then The Last of Us came out. At first I was skeptical but it truly blew me away and set the standards for the quality of experience I expect from games I buy. Because of this die hard fandom, and love of Last of Us especially, I was PSYCHED for Last of Us part II.... but wow. How let down I’ve been. To see the legacy of such a beautifully crafted story tarnished by its sequel in attempts to cater/pander to the world of 2020 as well as all the trash characters to focus on/develop like Abby. Truly. I am disappointed. I only want to empathize and humanize the enemy in my games/story to a certain extent. That’s why as the bad guy is dying you humanize them in many stories so there’s both a “awww moment” as well as a “get the bad guy!!!” Moment. But to play half the game OVER humanizing the antagonist now makes me question the hero. Which then makes it hard to identify with Ellie because I’m confused and frustrated with Abby. Also, why does Abby have cannonballs for shoulders and moose thighs for arms? Truly, for a game I was so excited and backing, and avoiding all the spoilers that got leaked, I’m so disappointed. I signed the petition asking Naughty Dog To rewrite the story of the game... we shall see I suppose. This is what happens when too many “free spirits” get hired at Naughty Dog and you try to create a piece of art to sell rather than just be inherently good. Yes this is super subjective, but with a 4.6/10 versus it’s predecessor at a 9.1/10, I’d like to objectively point out I’m not the only who thinks it’s garbage.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog sure as heck knows how to tell a compelling story in an oh-so-compelling manner. The Last of Us Part 2 is all the more proof of that. No amount of leaks or spoilers should lead you to judge this game until you actually play and finish it. The studio takes a whole lot of risks and makes numerous bold choices with this one, and frankly they do pay off by the end of the game. Just when I thought they couldn't have made the gameplay any better, ND added a surprisingly great number of subtle and more obvious gameplay improvements that offer you so many different ways to approach combat. Suffice it to say, it is extremely satisfying to take on enemies now than ever before. The facial animations, the acting and voice acting in this game is AMAZING! Honestly, these guys exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. I urge you to hang in there and trust a developer that has NEVER disappointed.… Expand

    Too political.. Political correctness doesn't belong in games.
    Funny thing is that they try to please a certain type of audience that doesn't even play games and they **** on the people that in the end of the day are paying for their jobs.

    Graphics and fluid animations are not enough to justify the price..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Im making this critics not just for the last of us Part 2 but for the way metacritic handle things like this .
    Metacritic has banned with good reason some review who were not really well constructed or even having no critics except it's lgbt and this critics have no place to be about this game .
    But the truth is the game is terrible,no characters enjoyable or even remakable for there place in this story, they even been forget in the games with no mention at all. (except joel,ellie and MAINLY Abby but for the wrong reason) the game is extremely beautiful but that's motsly it, the gameplay is the same wich will not be a big problem if not that people waited 7 long years have mostly the same thing that the first last of us .
    And the game Story is boring,gratuitous in violence and has nothing to offer to people except Shock value content and a morality were the mindset of the character change for the scenario is really low for the what naughty dog have made in the past.
    And the game seem to have been downgrade when we confront the E3 version and to been inferior againts red dead redemption 2 (in graphic and story) zelda breath of the wild (gameplay and engine) and ESPECIALY againt spec ops the line (for violence and the meaning of his story) or even having no choice in the game (like the walking dead telltale series or dishonored 2) is real some miss opportunity for the game to be even better than it's predecesor .
    But the fact that metacritic censored some well review and has been blocking new negative review makes it revolting (with the gaming journalist score of course) some really really sad thing for the great studio that was naughty dog and killing have well writen,loved character in this game with no reason except shock value and killing other npc with no consequence make it a really miss opportunity for naughty dog and the fact that manny great dev have been quiting the studio while the game was been made and the other were forced to to making crunch time for the game to make it deadlines is sad . i really congrats the people who were making graphism,music and character appareance but im not giving my congrats for the people who have made the story,who has falsely make their advertissing over joel and the people who were forced or pay to make great review for the game or they were losing their position.
    For ending this critics i have to say that naughty dog has truly lost the meaning of ''fun'' in video games (like neil druckmann has said) and that whatever their next project is, they have to really working about their employee,their method for making games,and their games because it is that or even with the ''sucess'' or the last of us part 2 they will be like bethesda or bioware.
    Some great studio who lost their passion and originality with too much ego or stress or maybe both of those thing,a great story have been cancel for a very poor story with just a meaningless morality in their own story . (even the last jedi has better quality than this when the movie has just 2h32 hour and the game has 35 hours ,really mediocre )
    i would have give a 5 or a 3 but i give it a 1.
    metacritic is a good site but those kinds of game hurt their name and some good review user are extremely strange to be honest if we have to ban the negative critics with no real meaning we have to ban even the good critics with no real meaning .
    And the game is not even making good lgbt representation in gaming life is strange,mass effect (until andromeda) and even the dlc the last of us left behind were real and memorable .
    And when a true great games make with love and really meaning and choices (im talking about cyberpunk 2077) and that games journalist will give a greater score than this game it will just confirm that they are more honest with a new game made of his own than a game that privilige and the great standing that was the last of us part 1.
    Play lisa the painful a great dark story about consequence,violence and the meaning of life after the worst has been experienced. the game is maybe old (15 december 2014) and has not the beauty of the graphism of the Last of us 2 but the gameplay is more challenging,the story is making you depressed and sad but doesnt let you feel empty like nothing was important and forced but that even after the worst we alway can rise up .Play it it's make a better job letting you sad,scare and depressed than the whole story of the last of us 2    … Expand

Ou seja, ela matou gente pra um caralho, abandonou a familia dela, perdeu amigos, perdeu dois dedos junto com a capacidade de tocar um violão, pra AJUDAR a pessoa que espancou o joel até a morte.

The playable aspect and the story are really good, as well as the graphics. There are a lot of good things about this game but there's one thing that I would have liked to see, and that's Ellie and Joel talking before his death. I don't mean the flashback at the end, I mean an explanation of Ellie feelings to Joel. The thing I hated the most was its last trailer. When I saw that Joel was alive I got really happy and excited of seeing Joel and Ellie in action again but when we saw Jesse was the one who appeared, that made me really sad even though I like Jesse as a character. To sum up, a good story with a good message that was a bit underwhelming but still a good game… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can see enjoying this game if you never heard of the first part, but from point of view from someone who waited 7yrs for that its just pure garbage which pains to even write.
    For what it is - stunning graphics i can give it a 2, because thats it.
    Critics are telling you that it is a masterpiece but thats just not true, game lost its charm, not only because what happened to Joel, but also because there is no solid story now, noone wanted to play TLOU for revange, so why choose that direction?
    To the main complain:
    Not only the game gets rid of Joel in first minutes of the gameplay, it also makes you play as his executioner and tries to force you to feel for her, how? Maybe if you didnt kill the the main charcter at the beggining that would be possible, but game doesnt let you.
    If you wanted us to feel anything then maybe kill Joel later, so his death has some actuall weight to it? Let us play with him, let us play as Ellie, let us play as Abby and feel for her, dont just throw away main aspect of the game just for sake of doing so...
    If you buy that garbage - be prepared to waste 10 or 12 hours playing as character that you just want but during that time cant kill.
    Honestly id be more happy to play one of the flashback of Joel and Ellie for 12hrs than playing that thing.
    Even best graphics alone cant make the game good if there is a story not to be found.    … 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.
