    Here I thought Ellie growing up to be such a ugly woman was the worst part of the game. Oh boy was I wrong, the game is so bad and without logic and if you ever played the first game or care about the main characters of Part I this game is going to really insult you and definitely disappoint you.

Tudo o que foi feito no primeiro jogo esta sendo extremamente bem retratado e fiel aqui. Eu posso admitir que não fiquei feliz em ver a morte do Joel, mas foi tão impactante quanto ver a morte da Sarah.
    Todas as ações realizadas no primeiro jogo repercutiram aqui. E um fato bastante curioso: é revelado o sobrenome de Joel que é Miller, e o significado deste nome em seus pontos positivos e negativos mostra totalmente a personalidade da pessoa retratada no jogo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I claim one simple thing: Nobody else has ever built a game like The Last of Us Part II. Whether you like it or not it is something that the world hasn't seen before. Graphics, animations, sound (just OMG how good it is), the way how storytelling works (I'm not touching the script itself), the in-game atmosphere. All those things are simply unbelievable. When it comes to the most disputed aspect, story, well.. I liked it! I disagree with those people who say it doesn't deserve anybody's attention etc. etc. For me it's opposite: revenge was just one narrow line of the story but eventually turned to be something much bigger. The overall idea is much wider and deeper than that. But you have to play the game to feel and see that. Seems like the worst thing that happened to this game is the leak 2 months before the game came out. Because Neil is absolutely right: just play the game and experience it all yourself! But the public (of course, not all of it) already made their judgement based on those leaked materials..… Expand

Im gonna try not to spoil this game as possible by not going into the story but giving my impressions. This game is torture-porn, it specifically goes out of its way to torture the player with gore and with bashing the player for being morally normal. By morally normal Im referring to having a normal set of morals. It is normal to feel remorse when taking the life of another, as a soldier this is how normal people deal with being forced to kill another human being if they are not a psychopath. It mentally destroys you, and causes severe psychological trauma because a normal person was never meant to kill another human. But the game specifically goes out of its way to make you try and hate the person who feels guilt for killing people and empathize with the actual villain who not only feels no guilt for killing others but who does so with gusto. I would say that Abby is actually a psychopath, but she displays love for her dog and friends. Can a psychopath display acts of love like that?

    I cant see this game as being produced by anyone other than an abuser. The reason i say this is because it is not natural empathize with Abby. This is a person who shows no empathy toward anyone she deems an enemy, and the studio specifically set out to get you to empathize with her. And more so they will make you feel bad for not empathizing with that person. This is why i said that the person that produced this game is probably an abuser, because they identify with abby on some level and wish for you to empathize with them in identifying with abby. The other reason I say that the person is an abuser is because the actual goal of the game is to make the player feel as bad as it can, I dont know why you would want to do that unless you are a sadist. As i am not a masochist i cannot like this game.

    The game wants to take everything you love from the first game and completely destroy it. if I was to compare, it would be like if they killed off harry potter in the 4th film and then had hermoine take over, but then take everything away from her, ie kill her parents, kill off most of her friends, and then take away her ability to do magic, but on top of this Voldemort still wins. Or if we are talking about star wars, imagine if there is no return of the jedi film and the series just ends at the empire strikes back, instead empire wins and luke decides to leave forever. This means hans is forever frozen in cryptonite.

    As far as the gameplay goes, the AI is borderline retarded. They have a track that they are on and i didnt think i saw them deviate at all from that track unless it was to investigate. In the beginning of the game you can see this very clearly this in the snow. They leave tracks in the snow, and you can see that the enemies never left a set path like something as simple as a triangle path. I dont think that a game that is this heavily focused on stealth should be this predictable...

    The game is incredibly repetitive. You go into to an area, and stealth knife everyone, rinse and repeat, throughout pretty much the whole game. I mean you might get caught, and then you have to deal with the clunky way that you aim, and the limitation on ammo.

    The reason i gave this a 4 is because I did not enjoy this game. I found spongebob battle for bikini bottom, mafia 2 definitive edition, and predator hunting ground all more enjoyable, so i must objectively rate this game below those. I even enjoyed aliens colonial marines more, and that is saying something... The makers of this game I think specifically set out to make an unenjoyable game, and i think they accomplished that, but my score is going to reflect that. your not going to get a high rating from me for the "art" of the game. if I was to compare this to art, it would be like if someone took the mona lisa and took a dump on it, and put it back up for you to "enjoy". Im sure there would be plenty of psuedo intellectuals who would praise that as well, for how "profound" the message is, but I dont believe the message "revenge bad" is profound at all. The only thing you accomplished is destroying an actual work of art, and showed how disrespectful you are in the process.    … Expand

I have to admit the game is beautiful, but if you are a gamer that plays for the story. You'll have a bad time trying to rationalize the story. The magic of the first game is lost. In the first The Last of Us, you grow with a character that goes from grumpy old man, to a father who has something to live for. You experience Ellie's struggle as a survivor. You experience the joy of a father and a daughter's love BUT Part II's story doesn't continue the fatherhood story line. You end up having Joel becoming a side character. A ghost of Christmas past if you will. Ellie's goes full Punisher on this game and it doesn't feel deserved. My only regret is hoping Part II would echo any magic from the first game.… Expand

    I'ld go with an 9,5/9,6. So I think a 10 is closer to the game's grade in my opinion.

    Such a grate game, one month since I've played and I still catch myself think about it.
    Amazing graphics, superb map design, incredible gameplay, realistic cutscenes, perfect soundtrack and sound effects. The story might desappoint some, but in my opinion it is very valid and groundbreaking

    The music is just as good as the first game.

    The story is where everyone fails to see how good this game is. Everything in this games story focuses on the central theme of forgiveness. The game is heavy handed in showing how revenge destroys you as a person. It builds off the last games trope of characters making selfish decisions due to events that happened affecting each character personally. Joel dooms humankind to save a girl that reminds him of his daughter that was killed. His decision in this matter is completely selfish. In the sequel we see a new character abby make a selfish decision based off the act of another joel killing her brother. Much like joel's decision to kill all the fireflies in the first game. This decision affects ellie and causes her to make her own selfish decision that hurts others around her. Through out the game we see ellie grapple with the fact joel made a decision she did not agree with. Ultimately the story is about ellie forgiving joel. But really its about forgiving abby for her sins as well. Its a heartwarming tale about how even if the jury and the judge tells you, you have a right to hold a grudge, you can still forgive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When Joel got murdered I was so pissed, I was ready to jump on here and give it a big fat 0 to this game. But once you play and see both sides of the story, if I was to put myself in their shoes I understand their motives. Felt very conflicted towards the end if I wanted Ellie to kill Abby or not, at the end I was ok with either or. Anyhow, love it or hate it is a very complex and detailed story that’s worth experiencing. Everything else in the game is amazing too; graphics, sound are among the best. Great gameplay but even though it might feel repetitive at times, the script is so vast that every encountered feels different as you progress through the story. Thought to be honest gameplay to me was a bit boring, but that’s because I suck at stealth, if I had more creativity I can see how that would been more fun, but I get spotted early on, chose a corner where I can’t be cornered and I blast them all away. Love it or hate it, this is a game that every one should experience, whatever your emotional journey will be, it will be worth it… Expand

    Not a bad game, not a masterpiece.
    Stealth, level design, audio, and graphics are incredible.
    Too much downplay between actual gameplay without any character development. Story is flashback fest. maybe if the scenes were placed chronologically, it could've told a decent story.
    Story is disappointing. But there is lots of good in this.

Debido aEn primer lugar quiero dejar bien claro que The Last Of Us en mi videojuego favorito de todos los tiempos. No solo por ser un gran juego es mi videojuego favorito sino porque ademas el primer juego marco un antes y un después en mi vida y en mi forma de entender la industria del videojuego. Por lo cual intentar hacer una critica a esta segunda parte me es de una gran dificultad. Debido a esta ola incoherente de malas criticas y de un abusos excesivos. Me dispongo unos cuantos días después de haber finalizado el juego a hacer mi respectiva y única critica a The Last Of Us Part II. Creo que Naughty Dog se ha arriesgado en este juego y es verdad que han intentado abordar temas complejos y poco explorados en los videojuegos. Pero he de decir que la resolución de estos añadidos arriesgados han sido de gran admiración. Sin ser pesados y siendo coherente los temas sociales e incluso políticos que están presentes en el juego son muy sutiles y en ningún momento abusivos. Se agradece y es de admirar que este tipo de creados se arriesguen con estos temas porque realmente estos temas tendrían que ser mas explorados y detallados en la industria.
    Creo que respecto a la historia se nota una gran mejoría con respecto a la calidad de esta como en la forma de contarla. Dejando huella en mucha ocasiones con escenas que se recordaran por siempre. Las mecánicas sin ser muy renovadoras y siendo muchas de ellas heredadas del primer juego. Están mucho mas pulidas y mejoradas también dando lugar a mecánicas nuevas que impactan y sorprenden. Con respecto a la jugabilidad mejora muy potencialmente con respecto a la primera parte y hace el juegos mas divertido y fluido. Tengo que decir que en esta segunda parte el apartado musical se queda un poco atrás con respecto a la primera parte. Esto no quiere decir que la música sea peor sino que el apartado musical destaca menos con respecto al papel protagonista que tenia la música en su anterior entrega. Pero este tipo de carencia lo compensa con unos increíbles y obsesivos detalles técnicos y artísticos tanto en el entorno del propio juego como en sus personajes. Alejándose en muchos momentos de ser algo ficticio a algo que roza la propia realidad señalando a su vez el gran trabajo tanto actoral como artístico Pero aun así creo que en este juego la jugabilidad no es la parte mas importante. The Last Of Us destaca por sus increíbles personajes, entornos e historia y en esta segunda parte se nota como en Naughty Dog trabajan verdaderos profesionales que saben crear y contar historias de una manera única. En definitiva no me quiero enrollar mucho con esta critica porque creo sinceramente que The Last Of Us Part II es en si una obra maestra y claramente esta segunda parte superan en todos los aspectos a la primera parte. Solo que para mi la primer parte tiene un significado añadido que hace que me decante por ella. Pero por favor dejar de atacar y criticar a un juego por una intención o porque moralmente no os agrade lo que veáis en pantalla. Recordar que los videojuegos los jugamos nosotros, pero nosotros no decidimos como se hacen. Dejar ese trabajo a profesionales como la gente de Naughty Dog que ademas de hacer un increíble trabajo nos han brindado una autentica obra maestra y de lo único que han pecado es de intentar educar y enseñar a la gente que el videojuego ahora mas que nunca en un arte. Mi nota real es de 9.5    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a perfect example of the poor story writing. It stands nowhere near the original story of Joel and Ellie and it rather feels like a fan fiction of the talentless teenager.

    I have to admit that the gameplay and graphics are awesome and ND employees responsible for these elements did a great job. And it's te only reason why this games doesn't get "0" or "1".

    However, these elements are not the most important in the game which wants to present a certain story. It is the story itself that has to be great. Unfortunately, it is not the case when it comes to TLoU 2.

    Neil Druckmann and his crew clearly show that they don't give the monkeys about the first game of the series: its heroes, their motivations, character traits, and so on and so forth. They simply threw everything into a dustbin and spit into the faces of the players who fell in love with Joel and Ellie.

    I totally understand that the postapocalicptic world is hostile and there is a high chance of some of the characters being killed one way or another. But, for the f* sake, you don't slaughter Joel like a pig by the character who at this point of the story is completely random. No explanation, no insight into the character of Abby who murders Joel and then forcing the players to play as this steroid-eating monster for about 10 hours is barbaric, terrible, unacceptable and it is simply a punch in the players' faces. Not to mention the fact that Joel and Tommy completely open to the newly met person they know nothing about xD

    However, even if Joel's death could be considered understandable or acceptable, the events after his death make the game even worse. Ellie clearly suffers when she kills Abby's friends but sees nothing wrong in murdering hundreds of random NPCs (f* logic and freedom of choice when it comes to completing the game - either in Rambo or stealthy way). Then we get to the ending of the game which is about REVENGE and yet we get no revenge. Ellie loses everything: Joel, Dina and "their" child, Jessie, two fingers (which make it impossible for her to play the guitar - her last connection with Joel) and she lets Abby live!!!

    Mr. Druckmann, WTF is wrong with you man?! You blatantly show the murderer of Joel - the killing machine without any moral code who sees nothing wrong in killing a pregnant woman or butchering Joel in front of his brother and Ellie who begs her to stop - not meeting justice for what she did. You deny the whole point of the games which is about REVENGE. So what was the point of the whole journey of Ellie? She could've stayed in Jackson - at least she wouldn't lose anything apart from Joel.

    At the end I would like to "thank" Naughty Dog for deluding players with the fake trailers, lying about Ellie being the only playable character, no need to kill dogs to complete the game, etc. The company which brought us the beautiful games like Crash Bandicoot trilogy, Crash Team Racing, Jak and Daxter series, Uncharted series and the first TLoU turned into a ruin when it comes to story writing. Neil Druckmann destroys the heritage of over 20 years of ND (including crunch of the workers) and he cares more about including the "progressive" ideology into the game instead of the great story itself. As long as people of his kind lead ND, I will spare my time and money for their next projects. It's sad but it's necessary to see the company revive.    … 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.

    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]
