    A masterpiece, one of the best games I have played in my life, as a technique and story.

    Jogo voltado para o publico LGBT, a primeira parte foi muito superior, esse ganha apenas em gráficos (menos nas texturas) e tamanho do jogo, mas a história é super clichê, rasguei dinheiro com esse jogo.

    Let me start off by saying this. The game graphically and animation wise is top notch, one of the best looking games out there and this is done on 7 year old hardware. Where this game falls short is in its story and gameplay. The gameplay has been improved upon from the first game but not by much it still feels extremely outdated.

The gameplay has been improved upon from the first game but not by much it still feels extremely outdated. The story is the huge breaking point for me personally though especially since this is a narrative driven game. The story feels like a huge slap in the face to the last of us 1 fans and all the decisions made in it are pointless by the end and just doesn't feel worth it. Lastly all the new characters added just aren't very likable unfortunately and I didn't care about what happend to them. They even make me dislike Ellie by the end of the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is the biggest freak in the history of the gaming world, first of all I want to make it very clear that I PLAYED the game, I AM NOT an Xbox fanboy and I AM NOT a bot, I would NEVER in my life imagine living this moment to see the company that I loved doing this with the fans themselves, INCOMPETENCE from beginning to end, Neil Druckmann you are NOT a god of game writing as you think you are, respect the fans, this game is made for them and not for you and your ideologies, Halley Gross you DO NOT serve to script a game, get out because you already destroyed a gigantic franchise and we don't want any more tragedy, unfortunately on June 19, 2020 we didn't just experience the death of Joel, a character we love so much and who dies in a ridiculous way, with the character taking actions that do not fit his personality, but also marks the beginning of the fall of ND, at least with the grotesque direction that the studio has been taking recently, I don't even know where to start with this bomb, on the technical side, it is undeniable the talent of the developers that the studio can be proud to say that they are part of, the visual quality is the best alongside Red Dead Redemption II that I have seen, the quality of sound is also excellent, the audio design of the shots, the breaking glass, the rain is exceptional, all this with the arrival of the new generation of consoles, will be overcome in a short time, what will remain in the future is the narrative, the gameplay follows the same scheme as the first game, without much innovation, but the game is so long and drawn out that after a few hours everything starts to getting tiring, , but none of that is what marks in narrative titles like this, but of course, the story, and my friends, is UNBELIEVABLE something as poorly written as the script for this game coming from a super developer and a super production of millions and millions of dollars, it is UNACCEPTABLE, it is disrespectful to the fans of the first game, HUNDREDS of HOLES of script, I will mention some of them here as an example, Ellie traveling around the USA twice after revenge and in the end giving back? Did she kill a rattlesnake coldly 10 minutes before forgiving the person who took everything from her life? Did Jesse and Ellie abandon a pregnant woman feeling sick inside a theater despite the 1 billion bills Ellie finds from people who died waiting for rescue? Couldn't they take her to Jackson and continue the hunt afterwards like the Abby who waited 4 years for her revenge? Did the pregnant Dina fall from a height of 5m, 6m and continue the journey normally? Abby let Ellie and Tommy live? Did it not occur to her that they could come after revenge in the same way that she herself did? Forcing us to feel something for Abby, that she has friends and such and a few hours later she kills dozens of WLF that the game itself tries to pass that are her friends? Yara having surgery with equipment that had been abandoned for 24 years and after half an hour getting into all the dirty Seattle water? What's the point for Lev and Yara to save a wolf? Why does Abby risk her life to get this equipment from the hospital for a seraph, since Joel, who saved her life, was not only content to kill, but also to torture? The convenience of Joel's script finding and saving Abby? Jesse dying worse than any NPC in the game? Tommy getting shot in the face and then showing up alive? Mel pregnant with a bigger belly than Dina's and normally participating in WLF activities, jumping, climbing, killing seraphites while Dina can't even move after a certain part of the game? Why did you try so hard to pass that Joel was a villain? Is Jerry the reincarnation of Jesus Christ who never did anything wrong in his life? Lev to go back to his camp even though he knew his mother wouldn't support him and Abby to go after him knowing about the war that was going to happen? Why wasn't Ellie's immunity exploited in this game? Where's any reference to characters like Sarah, Tess, Bill, Henry, Sam, even David? Wouldn't it be magical to have a scene of Joel taking Sarah to the park before the whole outbreak started? What did Joel do throughout his 20 years until he found Ellie? You DESTROYED ALL of the characters in the first game, MISCHARACTERIZED ALL of them, Joel and Tommy never let their guard down for an armed stranger the way it was, Ellie was a happy and outgoing girl now she looks depressed and distant, the feeling is that she would commit suicide at the end of the game, was that the intention? Tommy would never act like that **** with Ellie, they even separed Tommy and Maria, unfortunately it was 7 years of waiting and a game that SHOULD NOT EXIST, for me and for thousands this game is not canonical and it never will be, Abby is a PSYCHO, WE DO NOT LIKE HER and NO WE WANT TO PLAY WITH HER, very sad for ND and especially for her employees who worked EXCESSIVELY in a game as badly scripted as this one.… Expand

    The beginning of the game blew me away with that open world look and best graphics ever on a console.After a few hours it got boring at repetitive.Long cutscenes as like i was watching a movie and a pretty bad one too.There are more cutscenes than actual gameplay.

    The reason i play story driven given games is because it gives me a context and a motive to do what i do in the game. The story is supposed to match my state of mind as a player and drive me to act. The last Crap part 2 has none of that. The game forces me to play as a character i loath and thinks giving me a flashback of them will make me sympathize, but i don't care.

    If you played the first one you are gonna hate this one, if you didn't play the first one, you might enjoy this one because u have no attachment to the characters. .

    Naughty Dog didn't take a risk to create something amazing like Death Stranding, they didn't try something different, they just decided to appeal politically to an ideological group that doesn't even play video games. And sacrificing the Legacy and the fans was okay to them. Never trust a studio, trust the game maker. Naughty dog died after Amy Hennig left.    … Expand

Shame, the game doesn't utilise it in best way possible - first game had so much more to offer in enviromental puzzles and even the map design was much better too. In first hour or maybe little bit more, TLOU 2 pretend to have almost open world - and then it's at it's best. After that, it's only downhill.
    Graphics - oh well, that's amazing. Actually - that's the only good thing about this game. The quality of 3D mogels and textures is breathtaking... but man, those animations. If only anything else in this game had this quality!
    So let's get down to bussiness - aside from few annoying bugs, there is one glaring problem with this game. Story. The writing.
    THE ONE MAIN THING, that made TLOU 1 game of the generation.
    Writing in TLOU 2 is just bad. And I'm not talking about things people were "shocked" in spoilers and leaks. It's bad - yeah, THAT bad or even worse, because there is lot more sh*tting on game we all loved, than spoilers shown. But I mean also a writing all along the way is bearly ok. You can just feel, that people who crafted TLOU 1 with love ain't working on this one. It's like this game was written by someone with inferiority complex, who hated their predecesors and wanned to hurt them, by destroing their legacy.
    And people jump the wagon of hate because of minority depiction and so on. I don't care if Abby is trans or not, as well as I don't care if Ellie is gay or not. What I do care is poor writing choices, that forces you to do cruel things, just to imidietly scold you for it. It's seems like it was written by someone, whos biggest writing achivement up to date, was writing imaginary arguments with people who he didn't like, and winning with poor artificial arguments. Smartest things this game have to offer is "killing is bad", "revange is wrong". No shait Sherlock. You just killed hundreds to spew that idiotiy...
    In the end, I belive this game is biggest miss in Sonys history, worst game that Naughty Dog ever made. It really is as people call it - 8th season of GoT or Last Jedi of the franchise.
    It's a show of one poor actor that injected himself into the game (at least twice!), to show to whole world, that he have mental issues. And he do! But to be honest - he needs help, real help. Insted, someone gave him few million $ brand, to jugle with his own mental problems.
    To sum it up - if you like TLOU 1 = AVOID like a plague.
    If you never played TLOU 1 = why do you even bother?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 rides on a lot of goodwill from the incredible The Last of Us. Without that goodwill the hype would not be there. Unfortunately, I can't say that it has lived up to the hype.

    Everyone critic(Mostly paid shills) and most positive user scores(Of which mostly come from inactive accounts with only one review) are calling this game a masterpiece without any good reason and this is just BS.

    Graphics:Its stunning by all means even for PS4 standards. Character design however looked like ass.

    Voice acting: Again very good, nothing to complain about.

    Gameplay: Nothing to complain about. Its great, but nothing breathtaking or new.

    Story: What I can say is it’s far too long and structurally awkward. But it’s in the second half that this game really falls apart. There is a distasteful theme of underlying patronizing that makes the game feel like a 25 hour endeavor that only exists to tell players off.

    We are forced into performing certain actions we don’t want to do, only then to be admonished for doing so. Often these are contrived parts which compromise the integrity of the characters simply to facilitate certain plot points to get a desired reaction. As such they make decisions that are often fundamentally incoherent and illogical.

    The inconsistency of the treatment of certain characters performing the same actions during the second part is, at times, embarrassingly bad. The ending is a very good example of this it’s laugh out loud ridiculous in its lack of logic. The plot is clumsy, ham-fisted, and trite. Subtle this game is not and comes across as a series of cheap parlour tricks.

    Killing Abby was literally the whole point of the almost the entire game, sparing her made Ellie's journey just all the more pointless. One might argue that she did it because she knew that killing her wouldn't bring her back, but revenge isn't about bringing people back, but giving them justice.

    Ellie also killed dozens of people just to get to Abby, so she might as well have finished what she started, that way the ending would have had a greater impact. At the end, Ellie lost Joel, her father figure and closest thing she will ever have to a family, Jessie, Dina and Tommy threw in the towel on her and left, she got her 2 fingers bitten off, she lost her chance to avenge Joel and she can also no longer properly play Joels guitar anymore, the only memory she has left of Joel, forcing her to leave it behind.

    My Verdict: Everything that made the first TLOU special was just gutted out to the point of being disrespectful, leaving few positives in its place.

    Some might compliment the games Graphics, Voice acting and Gameplay but have to remember that this is a Story driven game. In TLOU 2 case, it absolutely sucked in its core aspect, that being the Story.

    You can't judge a beat-em-up game for its graphics and story when the combos don't work and when it suffers from input lags.

    You can't judge a Strategie Game for its voice acting when it has anything to do with Strategy( Example being Command and Conquer Tiberium Twilight)

    You can not Judge a looter shooter for its Design and Graphics when the game is fundamentally broken. This was also the reason why Anthem failed and got ultimately axed in the first place.

    And lastly, you can't judge a Story driven game for its Voice acting, Gameplay and Graphics when the Story is utter crap.

    Most of the fake users here giving positive reviews can't even make a single convincing argument for the Story.

    What made the previous game special is just gutted out to the point of being disrespectful, leaving few positives in its place.

    I wouldn't be looking forward for a TLOU 3 considering that the majority of the devs behind this and the first game quit the studio due to the horrible working conditions and the abusive crunch that Naughty Dog put these people through. And frankly, im done with Naughty Dog as a whole.    … Expand

I'm really disapointed with the game, of course the gameplay and graphics are amazing, but the story is so poorly driven, making me play with non carismatic characters like abby, she killed joel, and the game tries to force you to like and unserstand her, while ellie goes crazy **** killing pregnant women.

    The story would be a lot better with joel alive helping Ellie, on the last moment get revenge on Dina death, the game wanted to surprise, but it's not that what most people wanted to see, the first game is about hope, and a man who lost hes daughter and do everything to save another girl from everything and everyone, se second game feels empty, a journey without a purpose with the bad ending with Ellie not killing Abby.

    Not a bad game but very disappointing.

    The combat feels so good and satisfying, Graphics look great but at the expense of blurring. The story DOES NOT make any sense and the quality is way lower than what was the first part. It has problems with pacing, I fell asleep like 3 times while playing it. I was expecting a masterpiece like the first part was, but we just got an okay job.

    I truly hoped that this game didn't sell well.
    Many people below have already given their opinion, so I just wanted to demonstrate how dissatisfied I am for playing this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is really destroyed by a poor story. They have used the old revenge story as a crutch to make a sequel instead of writing something interesting in the beautiful world they created. The killing of joel is a perfect example of trying to shoehorn a character into this game that has not earned their place and then being forced to play as that character is just insulting. They do not redeem themselves and instead come across as psycopathic. The ending is a big let down with no payoff. They think they are being clever by letting Abby go when in fact its just weak storytelling. The good are the graphics, which are beautiful. The voice acting is good. The game play is OK and though a step forward is not a huge step. I enjoy playing games as an escapist means to get away from the world. With this game too much of the world follows you in and makes it a tedious affair.… 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.
