    A jogabilidade não é das melhores, se torna monótona junto com tédio.
    Muito tempo de filme passando, deveria ter menos história assistida.

    If you're a person who truly loved the first game and what it brought to the table in terms of the story, characters/character development, and pacing, you'll be very dissapointed when playing this game.

The Last of Us is the story of Joel and Ellie, and so is The Last of Us Part II.... or so i thought. There are improvements from the first game in terms of level design, graphics, and gameplay, all of which have been refined and improved. The sound, accessibility settings, and enemy movements, are other aspects that were improved mightly, and as a game, this one actually plays better than the original game. However, these improvements aren't enough to make up for the story that they gave fans.

    What a slap in the face that was. Beloved characters were treated terribly and often made decisions that didn't match up with who we had seen them as before. A specific example is within the first 2 hours of the game, many of you will know what I'm talking about. I actually liked Jesse and Dina, although they were a bit underdeveloped as they focused more on building up unlikable characters. The first 10 hours is actually pretty good, but then there is roughly a 10 hour section of the game that was incredibly boring and frustrating to play as no matter what the writers did, it wouldn't change my opinion on the characters they focused on. There was only one enjoyable part during that section, which isn't enough to make up for the rest of it.

    Then the writers make you dislike that character even more and it makes you think that you'll actually get a satisfying resolution just to end up getting an extremely sad and anticlimactic ending that ultimately made no sense.

    I never wanted a sequel, as I wasn't sure that they could recapture the spark, and boy did my fears come true. Naughty Dog really missed the mark here.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here comes a legit review from someone that' sees the game for what it wants to say to the players. Something that's overlooked because you can't see clearly when you're disappointed and angry about the game.

    The game is beautiful. A very complex story. Very hard to sink in. It kicks off with you being angry that one of your favorite characters gets killed so early in the game. I was too. I didn't like Abby at first. There were moments I wanted to give up playing because I didn't want to play her for so many hours. But I get why ND did this.
    Abby kills Joel because he killed her father. The only one that could make a vaccine to save the world. Ellie seeks revenge now too and kills Abby's friends. Abby finds out about their deaths. She later finds where they are and kills Jesse, nearly kills Tommy, Dina and Ellie. Saved by Lev (the kid Abby has chosen to look after) that didn't approve of her actions. Revenge is a never ending circle.
    You get to play as Abby and see a whole other side of her. Her life story. Purpose? To change the players view of her and forgive her. She had a big character development and so has Ellie and I'll get to that.
    You get to see how Abby changes in the game when she chooses to take care of two kids over her own crew (The WLF). Also the kids were Scars. The WLF and Scars are fighting each other. One of the kids gets killed bu WLF soldiers and so would the other kid if Abby didn't stand in their way. She defied orders to step aside to protect the kid. This reminds me of how Joel starts to see Ellie as a daughter and takes care of her. You get to play Joel but in a different body.
    Now Ellie hunts down Abby again. Finds her strapped to a pole at a beach. She was exhausted. She lost a lot of muscle mass. Ellie pities her and cuts her down. Abby goes to cut down the kid that was also at the beach. She later carries him and goes for the boat at the shore. Ellie later gets a flash back of Joel of how he died and she couldn't let Abby go. Abby didn't want to fight, she only wanted to take care of the kid. Ellie later threatens to hurt the kid which is unlike Ellie. They start to fight and Ellie has the chance to end it all but chooses not to. She lets Abby go free. Ellie made peace with her demons. She didn't any longer care after all hard work just to kill her. It was not worth it. When you think about it Ellie was in the same position as Abby was before she killed Joel. She probably imagined her of the same situation and chose not to be just like her back then. She chose to be better. Imagining the kid would lose a sister figure. I loved the fact that Ellie let her go. Abby is a good person.
    Ellie later returns home with Dina and their baby gone with only Joels guitar left. She's unable to play because of the loss of her two fingers. She leaves the guitar that symbolises that she leaves Joel's memory behind. And she walks away.
    People are just too angry to see this. They look at it too simple. This is a complex story. A beautiful story. It wants to teach that there's much more than just killing someone for revenge. That person also has a life and people they care about. It's not so simple. The game wants us to think clear and forgive. For what is right. Not for what would feel right when eventually nothing good will come out of it. It's easy to hate someone. It's harder to forgive someone. Be stronger like Ellie.

    Graphics really good.
    Audio really good.
    Gameplay feels like the last of us 1 and that's good
    Story is too complex for most people to comprehend. For me it's really good
    All the crafting options you get to choose from is really good
    New kind of skill trees. Really good
    Character story and development. Some too simple and some really good.    … Expand

    This game is awesome, the story that it tells, the graphics, the technical section....

O jogo é espetacular, a gameplay, os gráficos, a história, o desenrolar da vingança das protagonistas, mostrou todas as consequências q as decisões do Joel trouxe, tudo q ele fez no the last of US 1, teve consequências trágicas. Cada vez mais q jogo, me sinto mais imerso no jogo, é espetacular. É um jogo que faz vc ter odio, dar risadas, ter uma certa alegria em ver a relação da ellie com o Joel com o decorrer da história, o peso do violão q Joel deixou, q foi muito marcante. Sem duvida nenhuma, valeu cada centavo, esperando q um dia tenha a parte 3.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes the game has some mistakes such as playing as Abby, to me playing as Abby is actually the only mistake that I think they did but i know that most people are angry at Joel’s death and they wanted Naughty Dog to do right by him, but his death makes total sense and here’s why: Joel killed so many people in his life including people that he knew and yet after all the bad things that he did there has to be some consequences and even if he died peacefully just like how Lee from the walking dead it would still make Ellie mad but she won’t be as mad as if they brutally killed him and by that she would seek revenge whatsoever, as for the ending people are mad because Ellie didn’t kill Abby first of all how would do that do any good to Ellie? She has to break the cycle! if she just killed Abby then eventually few years later Lev would revenge Abby’s death and would kill Ellie all that is gonna keep going over and over with no point it’s literally an endless cycle so Ellie had to break it. But I just want to clear out something and that is that they could have given us a better story and i agree with that but we gotta work with what we’ve got and what we’ve got is good and makes total Sense but people are too afraid to admit it.… Expand

I greatly enjoyed the game throughout and the graphics were amazing, however I feel that there was a few points it was lacking as it would have been much better to give you the option to kill Abby or not and I feel that they forced us to do the worse option of the two, other than that Joel's death cause which everyone is complaining about was expected, although people may not like the way that he died I feel that it conveyed the emotion of his death well, I can see why people are upset about it but it's sad to see him go… 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]
