    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. very good game sins in some things, every game has bugs and something when it sees me a little relevant, the story itself gets lost a little to explain past events, the ending could be heavier I didn't think it was very strong, ellie could have killed ebby would make more sense to me, instead of letting go.… Expand

Si estas aquí porque te gustó la 1ra parte puede que esta 2da entrega no guste, juegas 50% Ellie 50% Abby y 0% Joel, y no solo eso, Joel muere a las 3-4 horas de juego. ¿En que pensaba Naugthy Dog? La inclusión LGBTQ es un poco forzosa pero no es muy molesta, es más molesto el giro que da esta historia, jugarlo es 9/10 pero la historia es 2/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O final dese jogo só mostra o quanto o Joel amava a Ellie, fazendo a nossa cabeça explodir em emoções. Em toda a franquia ele sempre protegeu a Ellie, mesmo sem que ela saiba ou note, e quando ela via que ele a estava protegendo e o cobrava, ele sempre respondia com um "ok" ou com um "tá", como é possível notar na festa em que a Ellie e a Dina se beijam e o Seth diz que a Ellie é mais uma sapatona e na última cutscene, quando ela diz que não era para o Joel atormentar o Jesse sobre as patrulhas dela. O Joel entendia o que a Ellie estava sentindo e devido ao amor imensurável que ele tinha por ela, ouso dizer que até maior que o amor que ele tinha pela própria Sarah, ele nunca foi capaz de discordar dela.
    Achei a história desse jogo ruim, por isso a nota 3, e por ela ser ruim, fez o jogo se tornar um dos melhores que já joguei, positivamente porque me fez sentir emoções que nunca senti em nenhum filme, série ou jogo antes. Negativamente por forçar a perda dos dedos da Ellie, deixou-me com um sentimento de raiva e tristeza imensurável, por a Naughty Dog ter feito isso, ter tirado da Ellie a única coisa que a ligava ao Joel, o violão.
    Forçar querer entender o lado da Abby, em uma era onde o ser humano perdeu todo o sentido de humanidade.
    Além da morte de "merda" que o Joel teve, totalmente sem honra e completamente humilhante.
    Espero que tenha um The Last of Us Part 3, e que seja com a Ellie, não com a Abby, pois The Last of Us é e sempre será Joel e Ellie.    … Expand

I feel like anyone who rated this game under 8 stars is a jackass. It isn’t “political” it’s REAL. I loved the story. I LOVED that you get to see things from the other side as well. The whole thing broke my heart and had me hooked at the same time! Ending was a little sad. I hate that she can’t play guitar anymore!

It's hard to say best, there are so many good looking games this console generation, but tlou2 is definitely somewhere in the top 5.
    Sound. The sound design, and especially the voice acting, is top notch, which brings me to my next pro. Performances. This is without a doubt the best acting and animation I have ever seen in a video game. It's actually mind blowing at times how much you can get from a character without them even saying anything. Game play. Think tlou1, but with small improvements to every single element. Everything just feels more fluid and satisfying, but if you did not like the game play of the first game, then you probably won't enjoy the second either, as it's very similar. Story. Don't worry I'll be vague. Ooook, so here is the big one that is dividing the fanbase. First, this game is very long for a linear story game, almost twice the length of the first, but this is a plus in my eyes. It feels like a huge, emotional journey,and I still can not stop thinking about it, which I think says a lot. However, the story is not as airtight and perfect as the first game, there are more flaws. As far as content goes, just strictly speaking about what actually happens, I loved it. BUT... I feel like the pacing and structure of the story had some major issues. Which brings me to-

    Cons. Story pacing and structure. Naughty dog made some really bold and risky decisions with the story, which I personally was very much on board with. There is a roughly 10 hour section of the game that some people either hated altogether or felt was too long. I disagree. I think this section, as well as the length of it, is absolutely necessary for the story to work. My problem with it is the TIMING. The way the story is structured, the timing of when this segment occurs completely destroys the momentum that had been building up, and I really wish it simply happened earlier in the overall story. I actually think that a decent amount of people that hated the story would've liked it, if the structure and timing of events was moved around a bit. There are also a lot of flashbacks, and while some of them are perfectly placed and incredibly touching, others seem to come out of nowhere and don't quite land emotionally. Aaaannnd those are really my only cons with the game. Story content: excellent. Story pacing and structure : messy. I also have one minor con with the game play: scrounging for materials starts to feel tedious by the second half of the game. The first game also had this issue, but it was less noticeable due to the shorter length. Conclusion: story-8.5 gameplay-9 overall experience (not an average) 9/10 For some context, I would rate tlou1 story-9.5 gameplay-8 Thanks for reading my review!    … Expand

    Firstly the first game is probably the best game I ever played at the time of its PS4 remaster. Naughty dog has taken everything from the first game and improved it.

    Visuals have drastically improved with the times, characters are more facially expressive, environments more fleshed out and lived in. They have added exploration so all those buildings your going past in the original, well    Firstly the first game is probably the best game I ever played at the time of its PS4 remaster.

    Visuals have drastically improved with the times, characters are more facially expressive, environments more fleshed out and lived in. They have added exploration so all those buildings your going past in the original, well in this one you can go into most of them.

    You can now dodge, jump, and move lying on the floor. All three add extra elements to both stealth and combat. Lying in tall grass, crawling under obstacles make great stealth options. Every area is more complicated giving you more options as well as dangers.

    I have jumped, yelled nooo as characters die and your mind is messed with. Some characters journey changes them for the better and others for the worse.

    Uncharted 4 meets last of us part one and has a baby. God of war meets evil within and has a baby. Both those babies meet and this game is its offspring.

    To sum up they have improved every aspect of the game and the only thing anyone seems to criticise is what happens to certain characters. Well they are simply wrong, life is not a fairytale and good people can do bad things and bad people do good things. Sometimes life is blurred and you can't see what is right or wrong as the game has shown. Simply brilliant.    … Expand

    A very good game that is surrounded by misinformation as to what exactly it contains. I was very upset when I saw the “spoilers” and decided not to buy but was convinced by friends to play the game anyway. After playing it, it’s obvious that a lot of people are lying about what happens in this game or simply misinformed by people who are willfully steering away from the truth.

    Having played the game, I’m very happy to say it is one of the best games I have ever played. Never before have I found myself to be as immersed in a fictional world as the one presented in The Last of Us part 2. The combat is engaging and tense and the environments are incredibly fleshed out scenes that always have their own story contained within. The story of the game itself is fantastic and a worthy successor to the first, despite what a bunch of reactionary toddlers on the Internet might say. While the narrative has some elements that hurt its overall impact, it’s rarely enough to pull you out of the story.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game. I would say from ALL aspects including Abby's sequences; it proved to be a risk well worth taking for naughty dog in my eyes from the shift of antagonist to protagonist. HOWEVER the story seemed unpolished at points and lost the sense of story telling to just getting a message across. I feel that this is partially seen in the ending. This is where Ellie leaves her perfectly happy life only to return to the path of vengeance which ultimately leads her to losing everything along with her fingers, therefore her ability to play the guitar and her last emotional tether to Joel. Not a pretty ending and most certaintly what hardcore fans wanted in the end and the game as a whole.

    STORY
    The story could have been told far better by perhaps staging sequences in a different order. So instead of playing as Ellie for 12 hours (Seattle day 1,2,3,e.c.t) then as Abby for 12 hours, they should have bounced between the two perspectives... Ellie day 1 to Abby day 1 and so on. This would give a deeper connection and more care for all Characters in the game especially Abby and others from her perspective. An example of this is Joels murder but before Abby finishes him you play the first abby flash back and then onto the Joel kills Jerry (Abby's dad) sequence. This would have given us the full scope of things rather than this built hatred toward Abby's character, which game later makes makes you play this 12 hour segment as this hated character with NO CONTEXT by which point I felt like putting the controller down and walking away. The only thing that kept me playing was the need to see what happened a the peak of the story which just lost its momentum switching to Abby at the beginning of the entire story; Its like watching a movie to just before the end and then have to go back to the start so your friend can be up to speed with what's happening. If they just played the sequences in order using both characters perspectives, the pacing of the game wouldn't of collapsed and players would have understood what was trying to be achieved rather than killing our beloved Joel unjustifiably.
    The ending could have been satisfactory if it ended with the first appearance of the Farm with Ellies family along with tying up the lose ends. however kick starting the whole revenge thing wasn't for me which yet again was more about getting the message across rather than story telling. The way things ended up for Ellie was bleak and unnecessary for the story to extend its self to that extent.

    GAMEPLAY AND GRAPHICS
    Gameplay overall was almost exactly the same as the first only with a few adjustments that I found more than substantial.to list a few
    -Dodge mechanic
    -freedom to explore
    -Enemy dogs (morally they could have made it optional to take them out/kill them)
    -Ellies knife instead of shivs
    -New gadgets/weaponry
    -New infected
    Graphically the game is astonishing and despite all the blow back this is the subject everyone can agree is one or the best on the market for this console generation partially on the PS4 pro accompanied with 4k HDR TV/Monitor. For me this already felt like a "next gen" game just because of the way this game looks.

    To summarise this game is deffiently worth the cost, just be prepared for it to cover on some touchy subjects and can tax you as the player mentally. I for one found this game very dark and lingered with me for a couple of days after completing which just shows the effects of some what a good story... just poorly executed.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
