    Anyone who gave less than 10 for this game clearly didn't get any of it's goals. This is art, pure and gorgeous. I'm just sitting here dealing with my emotionals and trying to absorve all that happened. Perfect. The best script EVER in a game, amazing gameplay, amazing visuals and the BEST STORY EVER!

    This game deserves ALL the awards

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe that in most offline games the story is more important than anything else. In The Last of Us: Part II the graphics were amazing, game-play was slightly better than the first game, but the story... It was just so disappointing, The last of us is Joel and Ellie, this isn't the last of us anymore. Ellie lost everyone around her and I had to wait 3 years to see that happen. Never in my life have I called a game "disappointing" but this fits the tittle, I seriously wish I never played this game… Expand

Eles souberam trabalhar todos os personagens, até os que eu não gostei (não me refiro a Abby, até pq ela é perfeitinha) e estou extremamente grata por poder ter essa experiência, o melhor jogo que eu já joguei sem sombra de dúvidas!!!

Understandably, the core fans from the game would upset by a certain gruesome death in the first section of the game, However I think that was a fitting death for a character who is not unknown for his cruelty.… Expand

    I'm playing it with a ps4(not pro) and it is amazing! I don't understand all these bad reviews, 0 means there is nothing good, but if in your comment you write that the graphics is good as the gameplay it can not be 0, you just are like a sheep giving 0 to feel cool. That is sad

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yesterday was completely over - I didn't care about this Abby, I just wanted to kill her and that's all. But no, well, I guess I'll watch the flashbacks and get me back for a moment in the theater for Ellie, and there's a crash. Man, I didn't want to play for Abby so much that 5 jumped her off the roof. Ellie is also "well done" at the very end, she could just get a weapon and kill Abby with Leo, no, she is not so interested. Where's the logic here? And I would still like the player to be given a choice (kill/spare). There is still some illogical - in the theater, if there were no Leo, then Abby would most likely kill Ellie and Dina (which she almost did), here, again, there is no logic, she will, in fact, then become like Joel, depriving all humanity of even a hypothetical chance to heal.

    If you take the relationship between Abby and Leo, then it turns out that these are the same Ellie and Joel from the first part, only at the minimals. I think the author wanted to tie the player to Abby in such a way that the player changed his mind about killing her. No, it didn't work. I wanted to kill her anyway.

    According to sensations, the game raised the question of why. I didn't feel anything during the game, I knew about Joel before the game was released, so his death was not a surprise. I thought when I finished the game - eh, there is not enough for Abby some local John Marston, if you draw analogies with Rdr 2. There were no much-remembered characters (about Abby's friends - generally silent). Although no, it was interesting what was going on with Tommy.

    But technically, the game is done perfectly. My PlayStation 4 Slim gives out enough FPS, thanks to Naughty Dog for the excellent optimization. The game did not seem difficult (played at the middle level), only dogs and stalkers were nervous.

    Now, I think to pass the game for the sake of achievements, but I will miss the videos. Sorry for my English.    … Expand

    Incredible game! Hard work it’s always good job! Thanks Naughty Dog for this amazing experience. It’s game not better than 1st part, but she is very interesting and soulful. I advise everyone TLOU 2 for adult people with moral and life position! It’s game not for a children, they don’t understanding depth of thought authors.

    Weird feeling about this game, while everything should be considered a masterpiece, it's a masterpiece with dislocations in the story it looks like Quasimodo now. Anything you'd want about a game is perfect except what made TLOU the perfect game it was. Anything is on spot except the most important thing THE STORY. What is this abomination........

    Pro:El juego es bueno, la jugabilidad es cómoda, los gráficos son impecables, la música como siempre es hermosa gracias a Gustavo Santaolalla, los guiños y el cover de Pearl Jam fueron épicos, las armas me encantaron.
    Contra: la.myerte de Joel fue injusta, la historia tenis para más, la inclusión de género se siente muy forzada,

    We have to either liberate oursrlfs to really understand the deep meaning of the Story or just NEGLECT it and troll about. I strongly advice to take the chance and let this rollercoaster ride happen to us

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 is a brutal and shocking tale. I am a massive fan of the first and i can understand why some fans may be disappointed that this doesn't include Joel and Ellie as much as we expected. However part 2 shows a story how noone is the bad guy and no one is the good guy as we see the story from ellies perspective and also abbys. You spend about half the game as each character and as I was reluctant to play as Abby at first I slowly started to understand what the game was trying to tell me. That anything can happen in this world and its not just our beloved characters that go through the pain and traumas of this world., but everyone that ellie and joel have killed. The beauty of this game if you learn to like abby and understand her choices and the game confuses you by conflicting your own feelings about who you want to win. In terms of gameplay, it is next level. Probably the best level design I have seen in a game and my heart was pounding the whole way through each encounter. I could go on put hats of to naughty dog for doing the unexpected and telling a truly heart wrenching story.… Expand

    What I don't like about this game is that don't give the player a choice and force one-sided play and say, "Killing is bad. You didn't know, did you? Two wrongs don't make a right" seems sermonizing to me, and in the process is neither immersive nor convincing.
    Although the game is a sequel to Last of Us, it denies its previous game and pretends to be serious but has no depth in the story.
    Naughty Dog needs to know the difference between what others don't do something though they know it and what can't do something because they don't know it.

    Also, the story may be the biggest reason for the game to be criticized, but that's not the only problem.
    Gameplay is the same without improvement.
    The smooth movement shown in "E3 2018 Trailer" is rarely seen.
    The only development I can see in this game is graphics.

    Of course, except for the story, it is true that it is still an excellent game, but I don't think it has a special game play like 'Doom series' that makes it fun without thinking.
    Like the previous game, the most important thing for this game was the story. And the story ruined everything.
    The best part of the previous game was that it allowed players to naturally immerse themselves in the story. But this time, there is nothing like that, only a cheap displeasure.

    I don't know what part of the game critics worship as a masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is simply awesome, a lot of work has been done, the world is interesting to explore. This is a very high-quality game, which costs all the money, but it is not a masterpiece. As for me due to the approach to the plot, the game is too long. You can't enjoy the characters of the second half of the game, you don't want to follow them, because you already have your favorite characters in this game. Compared to Ellie, mirrored in some scenes, Abby, she's just boring, like the characters next to her. FOR ME, htey are not like an independent part of the conflict, but as specially prescribed for emotions and for bringing the game message and blah blah . Ally and Joel’s interaction is simple and charming, father and child, it works just on a subconscious level. Ally and her girlfriend are also good, but the rest of the characters (Owen, Mel ...), who have no less time on the screen are no so good. The game draws emotions out of you in the same way, so in the end, you don't care about the death of the characters. I don't think J death is a problem of the game, it just causes other emotions, not like the death of the characters of the first part, it has a different way , but the second half just can't make full way, to work to the end.

    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]
