    Un excelente videojuego en calidad gráfica, jugabilidad, mecánicas, y duración. Aún así se queda corto en la narrativa de su historia donde el manejo, de sus personajes no fue el correcto. Provocando el disgusto de las personas

    Cons
    - The quality of the story is questionable and noticeably went downhill in the second half of the game.
    - Parts of the story also felt preachy in a way the first game didn't, which broke immersion for me somewhat.
    - Certain sections really amplified the suffering to a level I would consider to be torture porn, which I found unpleasant rather than compelling.
    - The ending was not satisfying.

    Meu ponto de vista
    História da Ellie nota 1
    História da Abby nota 9
    História do jogo nota 5
    Gráficos nota 10
    Jogabilidade nota 8
    NOTA FINAL DO JOGO 6,6

    Explicando meu ponto de vista
    A história da Ellie é ruim, personagem mimada que sempre toma as piores decisões possíveis e que por conta disso consequências ruins acontecem.
    A história da Abby é excelente, vingou a morte do pai e poupou as pessoas que não tinham nada com isso, também agiu corretamente com as crianças que salvaram a vida dela.
    A história do jogo seria melhor se terminasse após a Abby encontrar a Ellie no teatro e se enfrentarem com cada uma seguindo seu rumo.
    Os gráficos são excelentes e muito bem trabalhado. O nível de detalhes gráficos no jogo é impecável.
    Jogabilidade poderia ser melhor, a troca de armas é lenta e a mobilidade é meio travada tendo momentos que o personagem precisa contornar um obstáculo da altura do joelho dele pra poder chegar a determinado lugar, mas teve uma evolução da jogabilidade em relação ao primeiro jogo.
    Nota final ficou a média de todas as notas.

    There are aspects of this game that are 10/10, but aspects of the narrative that are frustratingly half-baked. 7/10.

    Unfortunately the game has become heavily review-bombed (on both ends), diminishing the value of user scores significantly. In my opinion this is a shame as user scores used to be something I always payed attention to when buying games.

    The story of the game is very good. The creative direction it took is absolutely justified considering the ending of "Last of Us I", where the protagonist effectively becomes the antagonist of the story pretty much wiping out an entire faction/hospital dedicated to helping humanity fight the virus. Creating a sequel around the consequences of Joel's actions there is a really good starting point. Playing characters from both sides adds depth to the story and you'll start questioning the actions of your previously favourite characters soon enough - without either side acting out of character.

    The gameplay does not differ much from "Last of Us Part I". Stealth is still massively rewarded on high difficulties as you can get heavily punished for little mistakes in open combat. Lower difficulties do not punish you for brute forcing your way through the encounters as much. Open areas are almost always accompanied by dialog making them less monotonous while exploring or searching for collectibles.
    The upgrade system has not changed much

    My biggest problem with the game is the actual length of the game and replay value. You can finish the game within 15 hours and since it is heavily carried by the story and character development a second playtrough (needed for platinum) felt really boring. It probably gets replay value after putting it away for a year tho'.

    The characters also didn't really do it for me. Most side characters were very bland and forgettable.
    Abby I did like alot but the order in which the story was told really didn't do her any favours.

The attention to detail in every scene is breathtaking, with stunning environments that immerse players in a post-apocalyptic world. The sound design is equally impressive, with haunting melodies and ambient noises that amplify the sense of tension and dread. The gameplay mechanics have been refined and improved, making for a more fluid and intuitive experience. Stealth and combat encounters are challenging and require careful strategy, adding depth to the gameplay. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I both can and can not understand the hate this game gets. In a world where almost every game has predatory monetization, single-player story-based games can still provide riveting classic experiences. However, so many games are predictable and dry. They don't introduce anything new or out of the ordinary. Joel was a remarkable character and I was so disappointed to see him die, but in hindsight, it was such a traumatic experience that it only proves to me what a fantastic job they did with the franchise. When he was dead I wanted revenge, that revenge is ingrained in us in all of media, entertainment, and politics, etc. But what I found remarkable about The Last of Us is that it is both literal (the last humans on earth) and it is about something metaphysical, the last bit of our humanity, our consciousness, our ethics, etc. What separates us from the undead or animals is a moving target, a slow decaying gradient of ethics. Nobody is innocent anymore, NONE of us could make the right decisions anymore. Joel is not innocent, we can not decide who deserves to live and die in a world where people have such innate trauma that they can't possibly get by without making horrible choices. The only innocents died early. The game slowly made me go from that Pulp Fiction-type revenge to remorse, then to apathy, then to slowly care for his killer. By the end of the game I did not know who I wanted to live and who I wanted to die. I just saw this as a masterpiece in all facets. When what I want in a story doesn't **** matter, I am engaged the most because anything could happen. I loved this game. It may in time pass TLOU 1 in my rankings. Right now it is at maybe my 5-10th favorite game of all time. People love to hate this game, and I hope they re-look at it in a few years. Expand

    Johnson, Troy Baker and Laura Bailey (despite thinking that the character of Abby is very unlikable for me, Laura Bailey’s performance is very good), so yes i do think the sequel is worth experiencing it

However, this is still an amazing title from Naughty Dog, and a true technical showcase for not only the PS4 but for gaming as a whole. The breathtaking visuals stand tall amongst many "next gen" entries, and the layer of polish that comes from a 6-year long development process is much appreciated and apparent. Exploration is improved upon with huge, sweeping areas that contain all kinds of collectibles and resources to gather for your next combat encounter. Combat itself feels phenomenal, with immense layers of depth and freedom for any specific playstyle. The soundtrack is once again perfectly atmospheric and fitting, serving as an extension of the music found in the first game. Where this game fails to be a true masterpiece is in its narrative. This is a disheartening, disgusting, and unnecessary story that should have never been told. The Last of Us stood on its own two feet as a perfect gem, not needing a sequel or any more content. Each character from the first title has been stripped of their soul and humanity, leaving this game feeling hollow and empty by the end rather than climactic and beautiful. While I am disappointed by the choices made by the producers and developers, I would be a liar if I said that this was truly a horrible game that was lacking in any other aspect. The Last of Us goes out with a whimper after an amazing ride. I hope Part III never comes. 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]
