    TLOUS 2 é um jogo que te envolve do início ao fim. Com muita coragem, a Naughty Dog produziu uma narrativa surpreendente. Para mim, a duração do jogo é exatamente a necessária para explicar os motivos que desencadearam as atitudes dos personagens no desenrolar do jogo.
    Sem dúvida, o melhor jogo da geração.
    Parabéns, Naughty Dog!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account just to to rate this one game. This is my first and last rating for a game in a website because I don't usually do this ****
    The good:
    The reason for three star for this so called masterpiece is 1) the game had absolutely **** gorgeous graphics in terms of attention to detail, scenery and also the gore 2) I really enjoyed the gameplay mechanics of the game even though after few hours into the game it gets **** boring. 3) This game made me appreciate and treasure the first game even more.
    (This next part is for all those who played the first game and is looking forward to playing this sequel)
    THE BAD:
    Whatever criticism I am gonna give this game is fully based on how **** of a storytelling the game had. I repeat I. Dont. Give. **** About. How. Characters. Look. Or. What. Gender. They. Are. I don't care about these type of things when I am playing a story driven game.
    For all those who enjoyed the first game because the ending of the game left it up to you decide whether what Joel did was right or wrong. For those who thought what Joel did was right this game shows the biggest middle finger to all you people as the whole purpose of this sequel was to manipulate you into thinking you are a horrible person for supporting and relating to Joel. The game shows you not only how he got killed but also forces you to play as the killer for the second half of the game and tries to make sure you sympathize with her and makes you believe that Joel was a **** person and deserve to die but never expands on why he was **** person besides the fact he killed a person to save person whom he sees as a daughter. The killer, Abby is so poorly written that she is willing to go full on pyschopath on Joel because he killed her dad ( because he was trying to save Ellie but **** you for supporting that **** even though he saved Abby just minutes ago but proceeds to kill people from her own group just to save two kids who were in fact from the enemy faction just because they rescued her a few days earlier. Abby proceeds to kill a pregnant character but only stops because one of the kids tells her not to. The true psychopath in this game is Abby and the second game is made just to make sure you should sympathize with this pyschopath and if you don't you don't support women empowerment. This games makes you kill people for the sake of the story then tells you are a piece of **** for doing it. It tries to be complex and rich but ended up being stupid and manipulative towards a certain character. I am fine with Joel dying for the story but they could have done so much more. Like actually spend some time in the flashbacks and show us what type of **** person he was but no, they choose to flashbacks where he was trying to have a father and daughter bonding with Ellie. They went to the extreme extend to show you how good of person Joel was and then tells you that you are a piece of **** for agreeing with Joel when he tried to save someone he loves. The story would have been way better if they just revealed Joel's death at the end when Abby and Ellie meet in the theater. They could have started of showing Ellie was hunting for a person in Seattle because they killed somebody she loved because at this point we still be thinking it was Dina (personally Dina served no purpose whatsoever in the Seattle). At this we could have keep switching between Ellie and Abby as both them continued what they were doing with their lives in the three days in Seattle. We could have seen how Abby reacted with her friends and the next scene we will play as Ellie killing off those friends. And when they finally meet at the theater, it's only then we find out it was actually Joel who got killed and not Dina. This would have been a twist worth playing for. We could have cut off so much of unnecessary time and boring fetch quests and the game wouldn't have been this bloated and dragging. As person with **** internet connection, I play mostly single player games because for the sake of the story. The first game made me think for myself on what is right and what is wrong and what is the fine line in between. This sequel exist to manipulate and forces you to agree with what it thinks is right and wrong. The characters should work around the story but sadly this story made to suit, glorify and sympathize with only one character. The worst part of this game is the fact that I can't even remember whether Joel knew why he died. I don't remember Abby telling him that he killed her father. I don't even think Elie knows why Abby killed Joel. (Please do correct me if I am wrong on this) I am only writing this review because this game broke me mentally and I needed a place to talk about this cuz none of my group of people are heavily invested in videogames especially single player.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is definitely one of the best games ever made.
    The story is very different from the first ones, but that's not a bad thing.
    This was one om the most moving and depressing stories.
    But in a very good way.
    I feel the story dragged just a little bit, when playing as Abby.
    But nowhere near enough to be a real problem.
    They did things in this game, I have never seen before in my gaming career, and made me feel things that a game has never made me feel before.
    I don't know yet if I liked this better than the first one, as the first game still has a very special place in my heart, but this is a worthy sequel.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not just "review bombing". The game has serious narrative and pacing problems. Druckman took a huge swing with this game, and while I admire the tenacity, I really just don't think it worked. Having to play the second half of the game as a character you've been made to hate, while already knowing exactly what happens, I found to be extremely arduous. One can't ignore the masterful graphics, sound design, and even gameplay mechanics, but the story is a huge stinker that almost seems spiteful towards the user. TLOU 1 had a perfect bittersweet ending... But this ending is all bitter with no sweet to the point where the entire journey just feels pointless and hopeless. For the average player, I'd reccomend passing.. Play Uncharted 4 or TLOU 1 instead, because ND just didnt live up to the hype with this one, sadly.… Expand

    This game is as revolutionary as the first one not because follow the same idea, but because it surprises you in different ways.

    It can be frustrating, it can be sad, it can be difficult to understand why the decisions were taken during the game but then, you
    realize that the game is not about heroes vs villains and more about surviving in a **** world.

    It is really a complexity game that brings a lot of human emotions in his/her blood and it is, in fact, a game that will not be unanimous for everyone that follows the whole saga. It is not only about revenge but also about redemption and consequences and, thinking about that,
    I never saw a game that could bring all these kind of emotions in that way. I hope that the next-gen games could bring more of that.

    What I suggest is, play this game with open expectations, fell each emotion of the game and avoid following any kind of reviews that you saw because
    you can only have your own conclusions when you are playing the game for your own. Or even better, look for reviews after you finish the game, then you will see different perspectives and compare for what you felt.

    These kinds of things that make The Last of Us Part 2 a masterpiece and a revolutionary game for the industry.
    It is a 100% must-have to play.    … Expand

    Como jogo, ele é incrível. A gameplay traz algumas poucas novidades mas é mais bem fluida que no primeiro jogo, gráficos de cair o queixo, posso dizer que tem os melhores gráficos da geração com tranquilidade, a violência gráfica é impressionante, e a campanha possui muitas setpieces dignas de Uncharted (arrisco dizer que tem setpieces melhores que Uncharted 4). O nível de desafio é razoável, contendo alguns momentos bem tensos, mas no geral ele é mais fácil que o primeiro TLoU. O jogo possui mapas mais amplos e vc pode não ver alguns trechos de história se não vasculhar tudo. Existem cenários alternativos com itens e colecionáveis (alguns casos tem história também) mas não é um mundo aberto.

    Único ponto negativo em relação a gameplay é a lista de troféus. Faltou ter troféus de dificuldade pra um desafio maior pra platina. Praticamente todos os troféus são sobre coleta de itens e colecionáveis. Ele é muito mais fácil de Platinar que o primeiro game.Também senti falta de um Multiplayer

    Quanto a história, tenho um sentimento ambíguo sobre ela. A premissa é boa, o argumento pra iniciar a jornada da Ellie é inquestionável e condizente com a personagem, assim como a motivação da Abby também é plausível e bem amarrada com o primeiro jogo. Mas a execução dessa premissa é cheia de altos e baixos e conveniências de roteiro. Existem sim pontos altos na história, momentos que me deixaram tenso, chocado, alegre e melancólico. Só que entre esses momentos há uma narrativa Ok, nada do nível do jogo de 2013. Não é ruim, nem terrível, mas também não é espetacular e nem tão incrível assim como alguns críticos disseram, apesar de ter momentos estrondosos. Ainda estou refletindo sobre o final (finalizei o game há algumas horas atrás) mas não achei ruim.... ele é um tanto reflexivo e triste, mas eu compreendo quem não curtiu. O final te traz um vazio gigantesco, mas acho que é essa a mensagem que o jogo quer passar.
    Não é um final polêmico, é ambíguo e de certa forma revoltante pois dá a sensação de que a jornada foi em vão. É natural que hajam opiniões dissonantes entre os fãs sobre a história e acho que a Naughty Dog já esperava isso.

    Minha nota não é 10/10 pois a história do primeiro jogo é muito melhor. Parte 2 se sobressai na Gameplay    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a console gamer all my life. And when I play any game, my mom doesn't care what is on the TV. Then I played The Last of Us. Funny thing happened, my mom, after watching the intro (which was THE BEST INTRO EVER) stuck around the TV. And I noticed that everytime I play it, she sat down and watched. She was interested! For the first time ever! I was so happy that we connected on a video game even just once. It was special. When the credits rolled, She was asking is there a part 2? I said "maybe". The look on her face, I will never forget. Then TLOU2 was announced! Told my mom and she said "wow. I wanna see it!". My mom died 2019. So devastating.

    Picked up TLOU2 on release day after avoiding all the spoilers. Bittersweet since I can't show her anymore. But I was looking forward to playing it. Revisiting my memory of my mom while playing. Maybe imagining she was still watching with me. She was excited for it after all.

    Then the first hours of the game happened, doesn't make sense. Then the game ended with Ellie losing everything. . My mom loved these characeters.They were disrespected, and now half of the game I play as the person that destroyed the one video game my mom and I got connected to?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of Us was an acknowledged and overt homage to the work of Cormac McCarthy. It was groundbreaking in the video game world, there was nothing like it in so many ways. Since it's release it solidified itself as one of the best pieces of post-apocalyptic/zombie entertainment, game play was overshadowed by character development, story, and immersion. And it remains in my top 3 games all time. The followup was plagued by externalities, including leaks, assumptions, and bigotry, and the mixed bag of reviews is indicative of that. However, not every negative review should be attributed to bias. There is a lot to hate in this game for some players, and in that way, this game is more similar to a Cormac McCarthy novel than the original. This is not a game you play for fun, I certainly didn't have much "fun," but I was absolutely entertained. It is gritty and uncomfortable, the characters make decisions you wouldn't because they have lived lives that you haven't. Real life doesn't have nice wrapped up endings and clearly defined protagonists, who all make the most reasonable decisions, and antagonists, who act as they do without reason. This is a complex tail that mirrors the random nature of the real world. We lost characters we cherished, both by death and fundamental loss of their character to revenge, rage, and ptsd. If the future of storytelling entertainment is in games, LOU2 took a massive step towards that future. I loved the story, but I also hated many of the decisions made in it. My opinions and feelings towards the main characters changed through the story, and I don't know where they stand now that it has ended. This was an emotionally draining experience, which is a complexity I am happy to see so well done in this medium.
    As far as the game play goes, I enjoyed it substantially more than the first. I argue that this is the best game play of any Naughty Dog production. The style of play feels noticeably different between characters. Stealth is achieved expertly, and gunfights balance between realistic and enjoyable. Where this game has fewer overt puzzles than the first, combat itself feels more like a puzzle here. Combat increases difficulty well, and doesn't have massive jumps in difficulty that the first did. Also, the loads after deaths are the fastest I have ever experienced, there is almost no wait. Overall, I am very happy with this game, and I think it did the original justice. I understand why others didn't feel the same, playing was sometimes a struggle because of how uncomfortable it made me, but it was a huge step forward for what games will be in the future, and I loved the experience.    … Expand

    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...
