    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sinceramente, eu não sei descrever em palavras o quão bom ele é, não é so um jogo é uma obra de arte. Nunca senti tantas emoções em um unico jogo. Para todos que trabalharão nesse jogo, tem o meu todo respeito, esse jogo definitivamente mudou minha vida. Queria falar mais dessa obra prima, mas estou tão emocionado que nem tenho mais forças, vou dormir para botar meus pensamentos em ordem. E para finalizar obrigado Naughty Dog e principalmente aos envolvidos. Depois desse jogo, tenho certeza que nunca mais vou achar outro jogo dessa magnitude. Até agora não entendo essa nota tão baixa. li alguns comentarios negativos e pelo que parece eles não aguentarão a pressão do jogo, e tambem tem uns que eu não quero nem falar, meu QI caiu -2748. Só isso, QUE JOGO INCRIVEL. Expand

    El juego gráficamente se ve muy bien, la jubabilidad está bien, ni buena ni mala, pero la historia me decepcionó mucho, esperé tanto para eso, vaya decepción. La primera y ultima vez que juego TLOU2. Lo podría describir asi: Gráficos: Una maravilla. Historia: Una mierda. Jugabilidad: Buena.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I find it genuinely ridiculous that people are bashing this game as hard as they are; it's truly absurd. The game does not deserve this and Naughty Dog DEFINITELY does not deserve this. The game has visceral, intense gameplay that keeps you on your toes and encourages the use of all the tools in your arsenal. The story is a great extension of the first game's, showing Joel atone for his decision from the end of the previous game and allowing the player insight into how that decision had an impact on others. The graphics, no surprise, are stunning. I played this game for 25 hours and if I had a dime for every time I stopped and said, "Wow that looks pretty" or "Oh, that's so cool," then I would be J.P. Morgan. It's blatantly apparent to me that this is one of ND's most passionate projects, and they have really knocked it out of the park. So, why the hell is everyone up in arms about this? I find it incredibly fishy that tens of thousands of people are trying their hardest to discredit one of the most popular and well-respected game developers ever as soon as they release the sequel to what is arguably one of the greatest games ever created. Many of the reviews I see claim that there are numerous plot-hole, that Joel isn't in the game, and that Druckmann and the team are trying to push some agenda. I will address each of those in order. 1.) As I stated before, I played this game for 25 **** HOURS, and not once did I see a plot thread that wasn't cohesive. I can understand not liking the plot; after all, it is basically just a revenge story, the human race has created countless amount of those in every medium. The thing about it, though, is that this is one of the best revenge stories ever told, especially for the fans of the previous game who spent 13-16 hours growing attached to Joel and Ellie's pseudo-paternal bond. It is emotional at multiple points, somber and calm at others. It is exactly what it needed to be. 2.) This is where the major spoiling starts. If you haven't played the game, I recommend you get off this site before you read anything else and play the goddamn game. Now that that's out of the way, let's discuss Joel's death. Joel, throughout the course of TLOU 1, crosses the country with Ellie, building a bond with her. When it turns out that in order to synthesize a cure, Ellie needs to die, Joel kills the doctor about to perform the surgery, grabs Ellie, and runs. This is the catalyst for the plot in Part 2. Abby, the dreaded Joel Killer, turns out to be the daughter of the doctor who was going to operate on Ellie, Jerry Anderson. Abby is curious at Joel for murdering her father, and clubs him to death with a 9 iron (I'm not a golf aficionado, so I could be wrong on exactly what type of club it is). Many people are **** passed at this for whatever reason. I can only assume that it is because they grew an attachment to Joel (fair, (but I'll address that in a second) or they're chauvinist prices who can't stand to play a female character (I'll address that in the third point).The point is that I believe that Joel's death and the inclusion of Abby are quite well done. The game even goes as far as to make you play as Abby for a period of time, which I wasn't a fan of at first, but I now believe it is essential to the narrative. The thing is that Joel is not a good person, and by the end of the game, Ellie has become somewhat of a monster as well (killing all of Abby's closest friends, including a pregnant woman and Abby's paramour). Just because Ellie watched her father figure die in front of her does not give her the right to cause more pain and suffering, just like Joel did not have the right to doom the human race because he loved Ellie; however, it is all very human. That is the dilemma in The Last of Us: can you find forgiveness in yourself or will you walk down the long road to Hell to get what your heart desires?

    3.) People are claiming that with the inclusion of LGBT characters (Lev, a transgender boy; Ellie and Dina, gay couple), ND are "pushing an agenda." I'm not gonna sit here and discuss civil rights, but there is no reason to be this **** upset over diversity in a VIDEO GAME, especially when it is so tactfully and respectfully done. There is no "shoving it in your face" that some people are claiming. It is there. Is that a **** problem for you? Because it shouldn't be. This entire debacle gives me a headache. Obviously, I loved the game. What more can I say? Thank you if you read this entire thing.

    Who was the great idiot who thought that playing with the character that killed an endearing character like Joel would be a good idea? Really? You are sick!!!

    The gameplay is good also the graphics but damn Joel is dead and the story is very predictable, really stop doing LGBT games just to satisfy minorities who doesn't care video games, they aren't the main target, we want quality games

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 首先这游戏我预购了实体,看了一眼剧情后,开幕雷击,直接退款了,后面的剧情看别人玩了,整体来讲其实还行,但是叙事做得跟屎一样,艾莉被刻画成一个傻屌,艾比倒是刻画得有血有肉,很多其他角色死得很廉价,像乔尔杰西这些人死得真的太随便了,这个叙事结构我认为如果把艾比的事先放前面然后只讲她想复仇而不讲目标是乔尔,会好很多。讲真作为玩过一代的我,无法接受这样一部不尊重玩家不尊重前作粉丝七年等待的续作。
    At first I purchase this game in advance, but after I watch somebody play the first hour of this game, I immediately ask for a full refund. Then I watch the whole gameplay in some players' live streams. Actually, the whole story isn't too bad but the story telling really sucks while Ellie acts like an idiot and Abby acts like a real person. And many characters' death is so cheap such as Joel and Jessie who died casually. About the narrative structure, I think if you put Abby's memories and story before the story of Ellie without telling players that Abby's revenge target is Joel, it will be much better. Anyway, as a player who had played tlou, I don't think tlou2 is an acceptable sequel while it has no respect for tlou and fans who waited 7 years to play this.

    Master piece for a game, but not "THE LAST OF US", i would rate it 9 if it is not named TLOU, if it is another game, but as it named this way, all i can vote is a 0, character personalities are broken, it just does not make any sense, story is fine if it is an independent story, but currently it just a failure as a sequal.

    The game kind of just takes you around in a circle, and forces you to play as and meet characters you really don’t care about. A majority of the game is super boring and repetitive, and the only good part is the stunning visuals and graphics.

    Basically 3/10 only because of how the game looks, the story is hugely flawed and has no satisfaction to it. Huge disappointment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to preface this by saying I played this completely blind. I beat it once on moderate with about half of everything and 23 hour playtime. I had not watched a single thing about this game besides the one trailer shown 2 or 3 years ago. I'm not homophobic or transphobic or whatever else about this game has people riled up. I beat the first game as well and it still has a place in my heart because of how good it was. I want to start off by saying this: A lot people are mad that Joel died but what makes me angry and upset is the execution of said event, and what it meant in terms of story. It's a story about revenge, but it is taking a backseat to tedious gameplay and boring story points. The gameplay is the same as last of us 1 but even worse because that game came out 7 **** years ago and no improvements or changes have been made, besides adding melee combat as a more viable option. You'll be using your brain only to think about how bad the story is because the gameplay can be simplified to go behind enemy, push button, wait, repeat. Except 3 occasions, where you fight a boss or miniboss. Except two of them are the exact same thing, so there is only one unique boss encounter in the game. Braindead gameplay and a boring looting loop with an option in accessibility that basically loots for you as it pings every god damn resource take center stage as your characters talk about meaningless garbage. The story is bare bones, rarly elaborating on anything until up to 2 to literally 15 hours later. Your not shown any repercussions for your actions until so many hours later you either forgot or it's such an insignificant detail it makes no stupid difference. Like on day 2, you kill this girl who was playing this game, and on day to of abby's timeline, its revealed her name was whitney, and she said one line of dialogue, and you can buy her **** model in the extras screen on the main menu. Its trying to preach to you that revenge is bad, and it only leads to making te situation worse, but nobody **** cares the bastard killed MOTHER**** JOEL. He was one of my favorite video game characters and this game ruined that for me, because he also is a rare one that was in an awful situation and had a mostly happy ending. The best moments in this game are the flashbacks as ellie, especially the one at the museum and the one that happened after dina kissed ellie. Im not one who cries during video games, but when ellie apologizes to Joel and says she wants to be closer with him I was right with Joel tryna hold in my tears. It feels like all the effort in writing went into these flashbacks with Joel, because th writers knew the main person people wanted was Joel. I'm not saying they're didnt deserve the effort, the former hero deserves this treatment, but comparatively, the games average writing is mediocre at best. I'm also going to say it was to lokg and the whole playing as abby section really bugged me. Your playing as the bad guy your also lead to hate, and if you hate the character your playing as, you dont want to play the game. This whole section frustrated me to all hell as it goes on for longer than ellie's section did, if you didnt **** around for to long. I resorted to running by a majority of human and infected by the time I got to abby, and it was still 2 hours longer than my ellie section. I'm not going to say anything more because I could rant for longer if I could, but i want to talk about the endings. It should have stopped at the farmhouse, with ellie refusing Tommy's pleas and having to deal with the trauma as punishment for killing and torturing people. That way, it could have still gone along with the game policy of revenge bad, acceptance good. But no it doesn't and "that's fine I guess because it can be finished right?" I thought. If I get to kill her, then I'd be fine with that ending to. But nope. This is where the choice should have come in. You could kill her or spare her. If you killed her, the prisoners would find Lev, help him back to health, and he would hunt you. If you spared her, the ending that happend would happen, but dina would be home waiting for you to return. But no the game is ass and doesn't do that. I have ranted for long enough have a good day and dont buy this game. 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]
