    I just can't get past how dismal the story is. Other than graphic improvements the game offers little more.

E fazem isso com maestria, no jogo vc chora, fica nervoso, fica assustado, tem medo do q pode acontecer e te deixa ansioso sim pra uma sequência! Espero q a naughty dog faça igual ao Joel se alguém falar pra mudar história, " se deus me desse uma segunda chance eu faria tudo de novo!"… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich finde das spiel wunderbar. Ich habe mir viele 0 Punkte Bewertungen durchgelesen und daraus konnte man ansich 3 Punkte sehr gut herauslösen. Einmal die Homosexualität, die Gewalt und das angeblich schlechte Storytelling und die Story selbst. Zu Punkt 1, was soll ich da sagen, einerseits war da echt viel sexistische scheiße bei aber abseits davon macht das Story und Gameplaymäßig überhauor keinen unterschied. Wäre Dina jetzt ein Mann, wär sie ja logischerweiße nicht schwanger aber man hötte bestimmt irgendne andere möglichkeit gehapt des die Person dann im Theater hätte bleiben müssen also gameplay mäßig isses echt kein Argument. Das einzige waa in der Story anders wäre, wäre dieses eine zwischen "Level" wo man mit Ellie, dem Kind und Dina im Haus wäre abee das Kind hat jetzt nicht soviel da ausgemacht, das war nur um der ihre jetztige Situation zu verdeutlichen. Emotional war das einzige was mich da besonders mitgenommen hat der name J.J weil ich mir für mich gesagt habe des siw uhn entweder nach Joel oder Jesse benannt haben. Zur Gewalt kann man nur sagen ja, das ist nunmal realistisch, Menschen sind grausam, vorallem in so harten Zeiten wie in dem Spiel. Das Spiel ist ja nicht ohne Grund FSK 18 und auserdem ist diese Brutalität auch ein wichtiges Mittel um die Atmosphäre dieser düsteren und brutalen Welt dazustellen. Desweiteren hat Joels tod, über den sich auch massiv beschwerd wurde, genau das erreicht was er sollte, er hat dem Spiel unglaublich viele emotionen der Spieler geschenkt was sich ja auch in den ganzen kritiken äußert, niemand hätte sich beschwerd wenns ihm egal wäre. Und diese Emotionen wurden auch immer in diesen flashbacks aufrechterhalten zusammen mit Ellies veränderung wo ich mir manchmal gedacht habe ach du scheiße was ist nur aus der kleinen Ellie geworden. Am Anfang habe ich Abby absolut nicht leiden können und nach der Szene wo sie Jesse erschossen hatte, der mir jetzt garnichtmal so wichtig war aber allein die tatsache des sie Ellie alles nimmt(ebenso wie Joel im ersten teil in Form von Tess und Sarah alles genommen wurde), hatte ich überhaupt keine Lust sie zu spielen. Aber wenn man dan mal dran ist und sieht was sie alles in der Zeit gemacht hat, wo man eigendlich dachte sie würde nur andere verletzen, ist sie mir am Ende echt ans Herz gewachsen weil sie sich eigendlich viel besser verhällt als Ellie. Vorallem da wo sie sie verschont, ich bin sicher Ellie hättw sie getötet obwohl sie beide ihren Vater und viele ihrer Freunde verloren haben. Das hat bei mir dazu gefühlt des ich am ende hin und hergerissen war zwischen beiden fraun und ich mir einfach gedacht hab bitte last es doch jetzt einfach gut sein. Und eben das ist es was das spiel erreichen und was es sein wollte. Dieses Spiel nimmt einen Emotional auf einer anderen Ebene mit und ob man den Twist jetzt mochte oder nicht, allein das macht es schon unglaublich.… Expand

I have looked further into the game and I see that it doesn’t get better. To me this game doesn’t exist, the story ended back in 2013 as far as I’m concerned.… Expand

    It’s pretty hard to argue that The Last of Us was anything but sheer brilliance. I borrowed my friends PS and actually went through it twice.

I borrowed my friends PS and actually went through it twice. Beautiful graphics that really pushed the boundaries of the gen, engaging characters who I grew to love and an amazing story with the perfect end. So when I heard they were making Part 2 I was nervous where they’d take these characters... While this game is very beautiful the gameplay doesn’t feel much different from the first game, which isn’t a bad thing but it does become very repetitive and gets quite boring when you’re exploring these needlessly big areas full of loot. The gunplay is still quite janky and the stealth kills very quickly become a rinse and repeat process. The main problem with this game is the absolute butchery and bastardisation of the characters and story we have come to love. Within the first 2 hours we see the beloved Joel beaten to death by Abby while Ellie watches sending her on a rage fuelled revenge mission. Not only does Joel and Tommy save Abby when they randomly stumble across her in a blizzard, they disregard all the things they learnt from the first game when they trustingly wander into an unknown camp and introduce themselves. It’s a hard first few hours and if you manage to get past the sudden betrayal of Joel you’d think the worst is over, but it is far from over... The game sends you as Ellie on this revenge mission to kill Abby and her followers and you spend the next few hours exploring and cutting people down left and right, before you’re forced to play as Abby for what seems like far too long, in hope that you’ll understand and reason with her of why this random npc caved Joel’s skull in. The end is where you truly lose all hope for this game. Ellie has lost friends and killed hundreds on her hunt for Abby, as she finally fights her and loses a few fingers in the process she has a flashback of Joel and now decides revenge is bad... letting Abby go. I mean seriously?! What? It seems that this really all was for nothing. Ellie returns home, a couple of fingers down and short a good few friends and lover and you sit and think what the hell have I accomplished over the last 25 hours? It wouldn’t surprise me if in part 3, Abby digs up Joel’s corpse and **** him before giving the finger to the camera and dabbing. Do yourselves a favour, don’t play this betrayal. We deserved better.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Same gameplay from TLOU, nonsense story and inconsistent characters. Shame that they run out of ideas or talented people. Shame they ruined some characters in order to "subvert expectations".

    The saddest thing is they ruined the first game narrative trying to inspire some pretentious moral in this second part.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beware, this review does contain spoilers

    Before playing:
    My favorite genre is post-apocalyptic. I loved the first game and have played it several times, so of course I was super excited about the sequel.
    I was one of those people who didn't want ANY kind of spoilers before playing the game. I didn't look at gameplay footage since the announcement trailer last year, I didn't look at the controversies of the leaks. Nothing, nada. I wanted a clean slate going into this game with an open mind. And I'm really happy I did that because now that I've played it I've ventured online to see what other people think and boy do people have different opinions!

    After Playing:
    I think they made some bold moves with the story. Killing off the main character from the first game is a very bold move and I get why people get upset, I was upset, its a very devastating moment. In my opinion it doesn't make the game bad, it sets the tone for the game "Ellie wants to find Abby and get revenge". And I could easily get behind it, I could feel how much I wanted to revenge Joel and kill Abby and her group members. I had true hatred towards her, in the same way you have towards certain characters in TV series or other games. So when the game changed the perspective and it came down to playing as Abby I could hear my inner voice going "I don't want to play as the villain! I want to kill her! Let me kill her!" Again I get why some people would dislike this move, I disliked it to begin with, but again I don't think it makes the game bad. You get to see things from her perspective, how she hates Joel and wants to kill him to avenge her father, so much so that she probably "roided up" and got some huge forearms. Now I get that some people don't like when women look like this, but think of it from her perspective, she wanted to be strong and I mean really f*cking strong, the dedication is unreal. You hear her discuss life choices and regrets with one of the later characters Lev. I think parts of her regretted losing her innocence in the process of becoming a post-apocalyptic killing machine You see her change her view of right and wrong and save Lev and Yara and she even says "I did it for me".

    I think Naughty Dog was trying to show a very "simple" point that is, people aren't simple, there are no good guys or bad guys, or good sides or bad sides. People and causes are a mix of good things and bad things it depends on the perspective. An example is the W.L.F, when you see them from Abby's perspective you first see them as this community where people are getting along with kindergardens and so on, but later when you get to the FOB you see how they are torturing people for information, the good AND the bad. You also hear Owen giving an example about the Fireflies "people thought we were terrorist, and maybe we were, we blew up soldiers and civilians". It is a very bold move, most likely a hit or a miss for most people, but for me it set my thought process in motion; "Am I really sure Abby still deserves to die? I mean Joel did kill her father. But she tortured him, she has to die! But she saved those kids, maybe she is reformed?" and so on and so on.

    I know someone will say parts of the story is SJW forced and leftist propaganda with all the lesbians and transgender characters, but I honestly don't think its that bad. You have the main character Ellie, which happens to be lesbian, so what?... You have the main villain Abby, who happens to be flat-chested and have bigger arms than most guys, so what?... You have Lev, which was a 13 year old girl named Lilly but would rather be a boy, so he shaved his head, so what?... It's not like that's all they yap about. When Abby finds out Lev was actually a girl named Lilly she asks "do you want to talk about it" and Lev goes "No".

    I guess I wasn't as shocked when they killed Joel because I remember telling my friend when one of the first trailers came out: "It's probably going to be about the fireflies killing Joel and she wants to get revenge" and my friend went "There is no way they would dare try that, noway" :)

    All in all I really really liked the game, so I have given it a 9/10.    … Expand

    Sin lugar alguna una historia que no alcanza a la primera entrega, pero sin duda algo que sigue y seguirá siendo mi saga favorito es por el hecho, de asemejar a lo mejor posible que es la realidad humana, jugabilidad 10/10, gráficos 10/10, historia 7-8/10.

    As I expected, another delusion after another. Please don't give them any money, so they understand, like Dice, that we do not stand for this cringy, forced, obnoxious garbage.
    I was right about it and I didn't buy it, but I've seen enough.
    This thing is a master-cringe.

    Um jogo brilhante, mas que optou por algumas saídas fáceis no enredo. Motivo pelo qual não é um 10/10 pra mim.
    Ainda assim, tem uma história densa que explora a complexidade da personalidade e dos valores humanos. Gráficos incríveis, movimentação espetacular, expressão facial de personagens, trilha sonora... uma obra-prima dos jogos.

    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]
