    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Save your money! Unlike the original, "The Last of Us 2" is horribly bad. To think this garbage story came from a AAA game company is laughable. Instead of a cohesive story and fun game play, we get non-stop pandering to certain agendas thrown in with awkward pacing and zero character development. They even decided to kill off fan favorite characters; characters who they featured in trailers and through deceptive marketing tactics made it seem like they were going to be a large part of the story. I've played games for decades. This is one of the worst stories I have had to experience to date. I am pissed I cannot get my money back from this abomination. I would have rather used my $60 to wipe my butt and then flush it down the toilet; I would have gotten more satisfaction from that. I'm an idiot for not looking at leaks before playing this game. Shame on me for trusty Naughty Dog. This will probably be the last Naughty Dog game I ever spend money on.… Expand

    There are literally no words to describe my disappointment... I was hyped (as most people) to finally continue the story from part one but dear ND are you kidding me? There is nothing positive about it. Characters and the story are deeply boring and the whole thing makes you sad that it is meant to be the second part of the amazing narrative from The Last of Us „1”.

Some people might say those reviews are bad because of LGBT thing but it is not true I can assure you, simply because I have nothing against it. The only good thing is graphics but it is not enough to get positive score. It is a shame that this game happened. My tip? Simply forget it and live with a memory of the first one.… Expand

    This is my favourite video game of all time. The plot mirrors the fallacy of endless retaliation in foreign policy. It expands on the themes of the first game while being its own thing as well. This game constantly surprised me despite what has been said in the leaks.

    Honestly I went into this game feeling sketchy but in the end everything was awesome. A few problems here and there though.

    The story is so well written. The game plays with the player in an intelligent way. That's probably why there is so much hate over this game.
    it is difficult to understand your own feelings and question them.

Stay far away from this turd pile, trust me. The graphics and atmosphere are great but the rest is a steaming pile. The major reviewers are just catering to Sony and NADog and trying to stay in good favor with them obviously with their high marks on this trash. Loved the first one but this was a huge, and I mean huge step in the wrong direction. Call me whatever you want I honestly don’t give a **** because I am about as open minded as they come, I just call it like it is. We beat it in just under 26 hours because toward the middle we were just rushing and trying to get through this thing because we were super bored. Sad to see such an awesome franchise get **** on by terrible writers and Neil D. This was one I was really looking forward to and is up there as one of the biggest disappointments I’ve had as a gamer.… Expand

Loved the **** game to bits, **** the people who are so sensitive to the death of Joel or the "failed" revenge story people which Ellie had but thank god that Abby lives since she was such a nice person and did not deserve to die at all, hell she was so much nicer than Ellie throughout this whole story… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, let me say this game is decisive when it comes to the player base. That can be seen from the reviews alone. But for the open-minded, this game breaks beyond the mold that is storytelling in video games. By the end of the game I had gone through so many emotions. I had laughed and cried along with the characters. Every death, whether it be Joel, Jesse, or the suspected death of Tommy, literally had me putting my hand on my mouth in fear and melancholy. The character development, and storytelling that is done without dialogue (such as reading Ellie’s journal) is phenomenal, and the average player wouldn’t even know it was there. The player that goes the extra mile and reads the small things like that will truly appreciate the story. Let me get on to one of the biggest “upsets” for the game, the ending. At the end of the game, you fight Abby who is the woman who killed Joel and Jesse. During this fight, Abby’s surrogate son “Lev” is injured and unconscious in a boat nearby. Ellie beats Abby and is holding her underwater, on the verge of drowning her. It’s during this brutal cutscene, that you see a very short flashback of Joel on his porch, picking away at his guitar. Ellie then gets off of Abby and tells her to take the boat and leave. I think so many players despised this ending for Abby, because they were so focused on the perspective of Joel and Ellie. Just like Ellie at the beginning of the game, they were blind with hatred and wanting revenge, no matter the cost. I believe that the flashback serves as Ellie remembering what Joel meant to her. She didn’t want anyone to feel the pain she felt by losing a parent figure, So Ellie lets Abby go. I won’t speak on the rest of the ending because it is so masterfully crafted and moving that you really should experience for yourself. Any fan of the first game is going to feel a deep sense of closure when you hear that credit soundtrack. This game has changed the way I will forever see storytelling. Another masterpiece and my new favorite game, all thanks to Naughty Dog.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Portuguese Review.

    Opinião Pessoal Depois de ler algumas barbaridades sobre o jogo neste site e de alguns reviewers.. Preciso de deixar aqui os meus 2 cents.
    Dou uma avaliação de 9/10 pois para mim o jogo tem algumas falhas. Alguns bugs que podem ter impacto na jogabilidade e outros nem tanto que se tornam visuais. Mas isto é algo que temos de ter em atenção no lançamento de um jogo com este tamanho, já o Days Gone apresentou os mesmos problemas que em futuras patchs foram melhorados. Por isso aqui nesta situação sei que poderá acontecer o mesmo.
    Voltando ao jogo. Naughty Dog u did it again. Meu Deus.. Que jogo!! Graficamente a puxar pela ps4 pro ao limite, simplesmente belo. Desde o ambiente dos campos, montanhas e das cidades destruídas, aos pequenos pormenores de um carro a ser consumido pela natureza, dos animais a vaguear os cenários ou da luz do sol a iluminar as paisagens magníficas que nos deparamos. Graficamente este jogo está uma masterpiece, noto em alguns momentos frame drop, algo que já me habituei nos jogos da ps4 e espero que a ps5 resolva isso, algumas sequências de ação abrandam o ritmo do jogo devido aos frame drop, nada de mais, mas sente-se.
    Os movimentos das personagens estão a roçar a realidade, algo que a naughty dog já nos habituou dos jogos antigos., a captura de movimentos dão uma sensação de realidade fantástica.
    O som está lá.. Não encontro nada que me faça falar negativamente, desde a banda sonora, as falas, aos efeitos de um planeta devastado, aos inimigos, armas, tudo está lá.. Muito bom. AGORA o motivo de tantas revisões negativas, a história. Eu acho que o foco principal de The last of us 2 é a história.. E aqui ao começar nada contra, mas conforme se avança, nota-se um bocado de desorganização no contar da mesma, por vezes fiquei confuso com o que estava a acontecer, perguntando se me falhou algo que não me dava a resposta ao que ia acontecendo, não é que a história esteja má, acho que está mal contada e os eventos acontecem de forma errada que nós leva a um final que deixa a desejar.
    Não quero dar muitos spoilers, pois prefiro falar aquilo que senti a jogar este magnífico jogo. Acredito que as más reviews vêm do facto de acontecerem coisas no jogo que deixaram os fans desapontados com o rumo e destino de algumas personagens, com a situação "gay" que se vive no jogo, e na era em que se vive isso é ridículo.
    As más reviews são para ignorar, estamos perante um dos jogos mais bem feitos de 2020 e dos últimos anos.

    Sorry Xbox fans.. Don't judge the game and don't review it negative if you guys are jealous.. Perfection, masterpiece of game. Get a Playstation 4    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn’t think I was going to rate this game a 10/10 after I finished it but then I started thinking. If I could change something about this game what would I do different? Only 3 things came to my mind. 1. Less abby playtime
    2. A different ending
    3. More Joel

    I felt like playing as abby was becoming some sort of chore. “I have to do this in order to get to Ellie again” kinda thing. But this part also had a good side and for me that was Lev. I love to see representation and we got to know more about the seraphites which was something I was genuinely curious about.

    Then ending doesn’t sit right. If I was to choose I would rather it end at the barn with Dina and Ellie being happy together. The trip to california to get abby was kinda extra. Nothing was even accomplished just more deaths, Ellie losing 2 fingers and an upset Dina. Joel meant a lot to me. Especially as someone who considered him a father figure. The way he died didn’t so him justice.

    Now also mentions of things that could’ve made the game a lot lighter at times such as Ellie talking about riley at the arcade. But when I look at the overall picture thinking about the entire game I can’t help but love it. It might not actually be a 10/10 but it’s as close as something can get    … Expand

    La neta, todo lo que es gráficos, jugabilidad, soundtrack, es perfecto, pero la historia falló mucho, la verdad el final fue tan triste y depresivo que me dejó muy agridulce, por ejemplo, la manera en que perdona a abby se me hizo tan patética, yo creo que una buena manera d e haber terminado el juego hubiera sido que la eleccion de matarla fuera del que está jugando.

    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.
