    This game has the story of a blues clues episode, I can't believe Neil Druckmann would try to create this sequel in large part by pushing his own political agenda.

    A major step backward in terms of gameplay compared to the original Last of Us. The organic blending of story elements with the gameplay from the first game has been abandoned in favor of lengthy and numerous cutscenes (which feels archaic in the year 2020).

The organic blending of story elements with the gameplay from the first game has been abandoned in favor of lengthy and numerous cutscenes (which feels archaic in the year 2020). They decided to double down on the clunky stealth aspects which were easily the most tedious part of the original. And when story should provide strength when gameplay fails, the characterization of the protagonists feels inconsistent with what had been established previously. In this game, people do things not because it's what their character would believably choose to do, but because some developer wanted to force the next illogical story set-piece to occur. The production values alone, which they obviously paid for with the years of crunch, are the only aspects that deliver.… Expand

    Game is garbage. Absolute joke of a story. Not worth the money or time. Don’t buy

    Decepção define esse jogo. História ruim, personagens novos sem carisma (Abby, Lilly, amigos da Abby), personagens anteriores mal aproveitados (Joel, Maria, Thommy), personagens novos também mal aproveitados (Jesse, Dina), bugs, e um final bem ruim e sem sentido. The Last Of Us nasceu e morreu no primeiro!

    TLOU2 is rank #1 best game ever. It's a story about mercy and transgenders who need more representation in media

    There is no other #1 game

    It's a shame for those critics to describe the story of this game as art or philosophical. The story just simply does not make sense and the choice of the character is simply not understandable. In addition, there are too many boring settings designed for political correctness for some particular class of group (and forgetting other groups as usual).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel so betrayed by this game tho I waited so long for it. I know the majority feels exactly the same. How could they lie to us with these fake trailers? By treating Joel this way, making him do stupid things he would have never done, making us kill dogs so we can feel bad later, and this ending.. Idk man it just feels wrong.. We were really looking forward tlou2. All you had to do, ND, was to write the decent story we all deserved. Yet you destroyed the franchise with poor storywriting and lies. I hope you enjoy your medias score, the fact that the game will sale well too. Because clearly, that's pretty much everything you can be proud of.… Expand

    Really disappointing. The trailer was edited to deceive the players. I understand what the game is trying to do to the players, unfortunately it just didn’t land. A missed opportunity, effort, and time to one of the greatest franchise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First positive stuff... Only the graphics unfortunately....TLOU2 Story is bad and main characters from the first game are out of characters.... even though the Story of last of us is said to be about Joel and Ellie, it isn't anymore. One thing about making game people wont feel sympathy for villain who kills the main character. nothing is good about this game except the graphics... I would have done a better job… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me just list all the reasons why I absolutely hate this game.

    1. Beloved character Joel died like a dog. His demise is so meaningless, created just as a plot device to push the game forward. Worse yet, you can't even get the satisfaction of revenge. Poor Ellie travelled all the way to Santa Barbara just to SAVE the murderer at the cost of her two fingers. She later tried to play the guitar but because of her lost fingers she couldn't. This is just so fking sad and ridiculous. I cried twice at the end of the game. Why ever would you do this to your fans Naughty Dog? Do you take pleasure in making us sad and miserable?

    2. Too many inconsistencies in the game. Tommy initially tries to persuade Ellie to not to go to Seattle but later got mad because she didn't want to. Abby is painstakingly shown in the game as a moral character who pets her dogs and tries to do right by people who have helped her, yet she didn't even blink to smash Joel's head in, even after Joel and Tommy just saved her life (I mean, at least show her hesitating, but Neil is too incompetent to think of this). Without Lev's intervention Abby would have slit Dina's throat, with great satisfaction that is. So much for a moral character (btw Ellie didn't know Mel was pregnant and only killed her in self-defense. This is different.). Ellie had no problem killing hundreds of people just to take revenge on Abby, yet when she finally had the chance, she gave up. (This bewilders the heck out of me.) What's worse, when she gave up, she should be thinking of the two previous occasions when Abby spared her life, which would make Ellie sparing Abby much more understandable, yet she was thinking about Joel when she stopped choking Abby. Wtf? Why didn't Ellie become angrier thinking of him? Why would she let Abby go? I can't believe a game that takes 7 years to make has so many loopholes like this.

    3. You are forced to play Abby for half of the game. Because of her actions many players DO NOT want to empathize with her. This is just another example of the terrible design of the game. If they place Joel's death at the end of the game, after they have shown Abby's backstory and struggles, then people may find it much easier to empathize with her. But ND decides Joel should die as quickly and as miserably as possible at the hands of a total stranger that is Abby, which makes it much more difficult for players to relate to her sufferings, and therefore makes people sick and disgusted the whole time they are playing as Abby. Want some proof? Just check out how many players tried to suicide Abby. I did it, many times, and it felt amazing.

    4. Shocking people for shock’s sake. Many of the scenes in the game feel unnatural, contrived, and illogical. Examples: Joel and Tommy suddenly go stupid and walk right into a group of strangers to whom they honestly confide their names; Abby’s group decide to spare Ellie’s life despite her repeated threatening of their life (the logical move was to kill her, but obviously the story has to continue); the brutal fight between Ellie and Abby at the theater can only end after Abby (played by you, who hate her guts) has killed Jessie, shot Tommy in the head, beaten Ellie to a pulp, and nearly cut Dina’s throat. There is no other way to continue the story (This is by far the single most disgusting plot design I have ever played in my entire life.). What is even more retarded, though, is Abby’s decision to spare Ellie’s life, AGAIN (…Well, it turns out in the end that this decision was actually not so bad, since Ellie also became retarded and came a long way to RESCUE her and Lev, instead of seeking revenge on her). These unnatural and illogical plot development can only be explained by the writer’s deliberate attempt at shocking the audience: Joel and Tommy suddenly become stupid because Joel has to die in a spectacular way, so **** logic, they are going right into an ambush. And of course, Ellie has to be there to witness Joel’s head becoming a golf ball (shocking as hell), so she’s there to see it and later released (stupid move on Abby’s part). I can go on but I don’t want to; you get the idea: shocking people for shock’s sake makes the story stupid and unconvincing.

    5. False advertising. This has been talked about by many people. The scenes featuring Joel in the trailer was swapped by Jessie. This is unacceptable.

    6. Too much LGBT propaganda. Ellie is lesbian; Abby is stronger than most men; Lev is trans, and Dina is bisexual. I feel like I'm watching a LGBT show than playing an actual game. I do not hate the LGBT groups but such overrepresentation of them is cheap and shadows other themes like revenge, love, and redemption.

    I'm really sad at the moment, not only for the TLOU series, but also for the terrible fate that befell Joel and Ellie. I'm deeply hurt by this installment and I'll try my best to forget that it ever existed.    … 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.

    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]
