    Although I have read negativ comments about it before even I have played this game, but now after I just finished it I would say that this is a game that will provide you with adrenaline, emotions and an exciting story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a fascinating game. The story doesn't play out how I would have wanted it to go (I would have loved more time on the road with Joel and the older Ellie), but considering the direction the writers felt they needed to go, it's a very impressive and gut-wrenching story. I've never been affected emotionally by a game like I was by this one.

    Gameplay wise, it's nothing groundbreaking (save for the animations), but it's very fun and tense. And it's all wrapped up in superlative graphics and sound design.    … Expand

    I have never felt so emotionally engaged in a game before, I highly recommend it, but need to have an open mind and let the story play out, instead of trying to fight it. Brilliant game!!

    The only problem I can find with this game is that is so far ahead than anything else before it that some people are not ready for it. Of course the game will make you upset, that is the whole point, it's an analysis of hate and its consequences. If after finishing the game you still feel hateful then some part of the message was definitely lost on you.

    Отличная игра. Шлите всех ненавистников ЛГБТ и фемминизма куда подальше. В игре от силы 5 минут подобных моментов, и они меркнут по сравнению с остальной частью игры. Красивая графика, проработанность деталей, не идеальный, но всё же захватывающий сюжет, улучшенный игровой процесс. Местами не совсем удобное управление, но это терпимо. Из-за сюжета и управления не стал ставить 10 баллов. НоОтличная игра. Шлите всех ненавистников ЛГБТ и фемминизма куда подальше.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved it. Gameplay was fantastic, graphics amazing, story captivating. Sometimes too repetitive and slow paced (a bit dull) and the ending was awful (but not badly written). I wish, I as a player, could have had more influence on things like killing Nora but I also realise that it was meant to be uncomfortable as it was a part of Ellie's development. Loved little details like the soldiers calling out the names of dead people I kill; their friends.… Expand

    Made a Metacritic account to counterbalance the negativity on here.
    I loved this game. it's probably either my favourite or second favourite game of all time.

    Firstly there's the bigots who just dislike that this involves LGBTQ+ characters and their opinions can be immediately ignored.

    Secondly there's the people who dislike the story. To this I'd say each to their own, but I personally enjoy stories that challenge me. This won't be for everyone but by no means is it objectively bad. That's just ridiculous. Ignore anyone who says this. It takes some surprising and unusual routes, but the story to me was fantastic, challenging and original. I've never played a game that made me experience so much emotion, or stay with me in the same way. That said, that's my opinion, clearly a lot of people didn't experience the story the way I did. I think that's a shame because I found it truly astounding.

    Lastly I've seen some criticism of the scavenging gameplay. It's almost exactly the same as the first game, so if you didn't enjoy in that, expect to find it tedious in this. For me, it pulled me into the world and enabled me to truly explore the utterly stunning scenery.

    There's no denying the astonishing amount of work that went into this game. Regardless of opinions around the story, the environments, animations, textures, lighting and design are all the best that I've seen in our current generation. Please when considering this game, read the nuanced reviews, not the hate filled ones.    … Expand

    Between the amazing storytelling with so many twists and turns that you literally don't know where it will go, and the intense, violent and solid gameplay, there is very little I personally can fault the Last of Us Part II for.

    It did become a little boring at times, with segments running very long and becoming repetitive. But just as the boredom sets in, you get a second wind with either a new interesting infected or a new NPC.

    With all this being said, I do understand why some people do not agree with the decisions made in this game. It will, and have, split the people playing it into so many different categories. The only real way to find out if you will like it or dislike it, is by picking it up and trying it out (either borrowing it from a friend, get it preowned or even support the amazing gameplay developers who struggled to get this game in such an amazing state, by buying the game). The effect of the story is not something that can be described well. You will have to experience it.    … Expand

    Uma experiência completamente inovadora que nos leva a profundidade de cada personagem. Uma obra de arte mal compreendida por muitos que não souberam capturar a sua essência e permaneceram na superfície. Este não é um jogo de heróis e vilões. Para mim, mais do que vingança é um jogo sobre empatia e sobre o ciclo de violência que quando não interrompido só gerá dor e morte.

Para mim, mais do que vingança é um jogo sobre empatia e sobre o ciclo de violência que quando não interrompido só gerá dor e morte. Meus parabéns a Naughty Dog que mais um vez soube criar um história densa e que saísse da mediocridade de muitos games atualmente. Assim como TLOU part I foi um sucesso, TLOU part II superou as expectativas do primeiro game e colocou um desfecho orgânico digno de um mundo pós-pandemia. Realmente um marco na história dos games. Game é a arte e esta obra jamais será esquecida. Game também ensina e temos várias lições de tolerância neste jogo. Estou maravilhado com a abordagem das minorias que até então estavam escondidas ou caricatas nos games. Mostra também o poder das mulheres que até então são usadas como puro objetivo sexual. Outra fator a se destacar são as variadas opções de adaptabilidades que permitiu que as pessoas com alguma deficiência pudessem sair das sombras da indústria dos games. Mas do que um simples game é uma aula para os intolerantes e machistas e um divisor de água para a indústria dos jogos. Que venham mais obras de arte daqui pra frente.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 is an emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end. The gameplay, graphics, sound, and cutscenes are are all excellent. Some levels such as the escape from Scar Island and the hospital basement fight are breathtaking. However, the choice in the story line will undoubtedly cause some friction in the gaming community. The story line is my only serious complaint amount the game (Spoilers):
    1) Killing Joel early. His death shouldn't have taken place so early in the game. Joel is the patriarch / hero of the first game and deserves more than 15 minutes. 2) Abby - her motivation for revenge is justified. However playing with her for half the game after she brutally bashed Joel head in just doesn't work for me. She also sleeps with her Ex who has a pregnant girlfriend. Her redemption story line doesn't pass for me...

    3) Ellie is missing for half the game. This game is about Ellie (well at least that's what marketing told us). Additionally, Abby storyline has the better gameplay (hospital, scar island, sky bridge).    … Expand

    Graphic and game play are one of a kind, never seen before action-adventure. State of the art.
    The story is dark, tense, surprising, upsetting and most of all haunting from the very beginning and doesn't let go of you until you finished and beyond. It took me one week to play and another to wrap my head around it. I didn't like every aspect of it, but I love the way it made me feel and    Graphic and game play are one of a kind, never seen before action-adventure. State of the art.

    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]
