    Completely misses the dynamic of the first game, so as a fan of the first game and this particular key point it completely misses its mark. It also has a number of political messages hidden within the game which is tiring to say the least at this point, which its pathetic that naughty dog as a corporation feels like they need to tell us where they stand in current day politics, i dont careCompletely misses the dynamic of the first game, so as a fan of the first game and this particular key point it completely misses its mark.

I mean the only thing i can say positive about this game is the graphics and select mechanics, the gameplay itself is super repetetive and unmotivated by the story, it was heavy to complete and then without any satisfying or should say any conclusion at all in the end ... Im asuming there is a message but its so unclear and badly told that it still feels like such a waste of time in the end. So only graphics for me, oen point makes one point out of ten srry but how is this a good seven years of work?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When everyone looked forward to this second installment, the press and critics expected one more game from the pile, while the fandom expected the best game ever. The consequence of this is that the expectations of these make them rise to settle for a perfect video game, which is why it is impossible to achieve, and at the time of arrival of the product, the same fandom due to high expectations that exceed, the product becomes the most hated. and throw trash without justification by putting it under bad video games as if it were the worst in history. When I play the last of us part 2 I see its visual and playable appeal being one of the best seen on a ps4 with a console whose life cycle is about to end and it is something extremely recognizable being a game with multiple options and fun, the story It is good but not as good as its predecessor and the fact that it is so does not mean that we will throw garbage at it. To be frank, the last of us part 2 is the best that has been seen in recent years whose history (not being the best) shows us how human he really is and how hatred and revenge can consume us faster than as an infected becomes a chubby and the real threat is not infected, but ourselves. The story is enjoyable but with dips and ups but frantic but with a slight abuse in cinematics, what I say is how it should be recognized or recorded but unfortunately the game community and the hype do not allow it to be, if you liked the story not Praise him as the best and if you don't like him, don't **** him until he is killed, but anyway, if there is one thing that leaves us as a moral, it is that the last of us part 2 is just one of many games ruined by the hype and the gaming community whose majority of these have not even played it and they spend watching the live shows and this does not make tlou fans look bad, but the entire gaming community as one of the most toxic communities. My final score for the last of us part 2 is 8/10: attractive visual and playable but with a good story but not as much as its predecessor. Postata: for those who hate the game because of Joel's death, you have to be honest: it had to happen if or if, dear to the character, his death had to happen after what he did in the one… Expand

    The story has awkward and different plot twists but I think it is part of the concept of revenge and reflection.

    It is definitely a story that makes you think, and I personally liked it.

    The game is excellent in gameplay and graphics. Although the music left me a lot to be desired compared to the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Allow me to preface this review by saying, there's a lot to unpack here. First, let's address the principle game-play, and more superficially, the visual artistry and fidelity. The Last of Us Part II really takes the original recipe, when it comes to combat, navigation, and general ease/deftness of movement, and refines it into something far more palatable for the current generation. that said, it's no reinvention, there's nothing revolutionary in it's realization, but there are some added spices that make it all the more enjoyable. Namely, the ability to dodge, go prone, and jump; simple quality of life improvements that actually make a world of difference in keeping things immersive and grounded. combat feels visceral, and supremely brutal, in its affect. Though even with this nuanced approach, and however immersive the character models and their wonderfully realized range of realistic expressions, conversations, and movement might be, enemies you encounter are often painfully oblivious on any difficulty. This often stands in stark contrast to the gravity of the situations you, Ellie, and Abbie, find yourselves in as you lurk about, head on a swivel, desperate to remain undetected by deadly enemies, before you realize that they must all suffer from severe vision impairment, as merely squatting far enough away in broad daylight, in direct line of sight, renders you nigh invisible. This is not to say that there aren't brilliant, spontaneous and organic moments to be had with this game's combat system, there are, and i find that these things largely balance each other out, but there is a certain amount of accompanying clunk, as much present today as it was on PS3, with the franchise's previous installment. Now, how all of this is presented, the way it looks, sounds, and behaves; gorgeous, simply immaculate. This is truly one of the most beautiful and articulate renderings of a world you will see this generation, the same could be said of the accompanying ambient environmental sounds as well as score. There's no lack of small lovingly, and painstakingly placed detail to just stop and marvel at. i found myself just taking moments to casually walk about and appreciate what it was i was seeing and just how authentic it felt. Not a title to be missed in this regard.

    Now, with regard to plot, theme, characters, and all that entails; I've read a lot of staunch opinions on this subject and can't say i agree with the vast majority of them. i won't presume to invalidate anyone else's opinion, but here are some thoughts, bearing in mind my opinion of this game's overarching story is, without a doubt, positive: our reintroduction to Joel and Ellie from the early hours of TLOU2 is the natural evolution of a relationship built upon Joel's decision from the previous game. A tremendously far reaching, and understandably, if not entirely justifiably, selfish decision to save someone he loved. A decision that Ellie ultimately discovered the truth of, shattering the trust between them. We see, and become aware, indirectly, of the weight placed upon Ellie in knowing that in some way the world and it's people may well have been doomed to suffer because of her. we see the resentment of being alienated in not being given a choice one way or another, perhaps she would have given her life if it meant a chance for a world that could recover. I'd like to think the old Ellie would have. this transformation into a darker shade of herself becomes apparent in the deftness and subtlety of storytelling and the supreme talent and quality of voice acting and motion capture. Like so many others in the world, Ellie became a person haunted by the irrevocable past. When, after Joel's death, she embarks on a quest for retribution, she is not herself, as so many have noted. but this is not some inexplicable change of character, rather the seething influence of grief. Ellie and Abby are foils of each other in this regard, and her role as a playable antagonist is not some device aimed at attempting to cajole pity or sympathy for the person or her actions, but to highlight what has always been evident: none of the central characters, not Joel, Ellie, Dina, Jesse, or Abby are "good" people, anymore than they are "bad" people. They have all done great and terrible things, to survive, to protect someone, to take control of their lives. The added perspective asks us to examine our all too common and selfish preconceived notions of what is right, wrong, or justified and to consider that perhaps there is no right answer. Everything that was lost by both Abby and Ellie by the end of their stories, all the pain visited upon them, was the direct product of their actions. That Ellie ultimately broke the cycle of aggression by sparing Abby does not rend meaning from experience. This was never a story of revenge, but an examination of the fragile and all too common human condition. This was not a perfect game, but it was truly meaningful and worthwhile.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What happened? Let me start by saying that by no means is this a 0/10 game. The gameplay, voice acting, atmosphere/world, sound, soundtrack and graphics are fantastic. It’s what holds this game somewhat up. The real problem with this game is the story. TLOU 1 had an amazing story. It is what ND is known for. But this game falls flat. It’s like they forgot what they had created from the first one. I get what they were trying to do. In a world like this no one is truly good nor evil, many of the people we see from our side of the story as the bad guys are the same as us, humans who have done terrible things to survive. They’re “bad” people but technically so is Joel. They just executed it SO bad. The problem is not that they killed Joel, but the way they did it. 2 hours into the game and they kill a beloved main character to a person that we have no idea who is. Then they try to redeem it by showing Abby’s backstory in what feels like 10 minutes and then expects us to feel
    for her. Also Ellie has killed maybe 100s of bad guys, but those who killed Joel are the ones she feel bad about killing? Joel has been through so much **** and didn’t trust anybody, but trusted Abby enough to walk into a house full of her group and then using his real name, even though he KNOWS a lot of people hate him for what he did to the Fireflies? I really do see what ND were trying to do, but they did it in a horrible way.. And it hurts even more knowing you have waited 5 years for this sequel.    … Expand

Pretty much all these review bombs saying the games story is terrible are just people who are unable to accept the fact that companies sometimes need to add and change things to the sequel. Most are saying how unlikable Abby is and for me I can agree with some of that. But at this point most of these bad reviews just want something to hate. In all honesty Abby is such a pain to see in the game in the beginning. Even as the game went on and I still was playing Ellie I hated her more and more. But finally I got to play as her and it put things in perspective. It shows you the other side of things and how Ellie isn’t always in the right just because she’s the protagonist. You slowly start to bond and kinda like the people you set out and killed earlier in the story which I really liked. Don’t get me wrong this game sure isn’t perfect but most of these terrible reviews are just white knight Joel butt buddies who are just sad you can’t play as him again… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, the story is not on the same level as part 1 but it is still a good story. It is darker than the first one and that shows. The story is about revenge, where something happens which forces Ellie to seek out a group and kill them. It shows more perspectives on the same situation which ultimately gives the player some form of empathy towards both the protagonist and the antagonist. The characters in this are not as likable as the first, and some of them are unnecessary and two dimensional. But the game is focused around Ellie, and not Ellie and her friends. You don’t get any background on the other characters that is not player controlled. But even then does the game portray Ellie extremely well

    I can understand that people are disappointed in the story, but even though the game don’t have the same standard as its predecessor, it is still a great game with better storytelling than most story driven games I have played I won’t say that all the negative reviews are about the lgbtq+ aspect in Ellie’s relationship, but some of them are, and to be honest it isn’t too much or too forced as some people make it out to be. It’s just there and wouldn’t change the story too much if Ellie where to be straight. There are more aspects that makes this game great; the graphics, the gameplay, and the overall environment you are in. I give this game an 8 because of the reasons I wrote in this review. I actually enjoyed it, but it doesn’t get a 10 because of the lackluster storytelling and plot holes that exist within the game

    P.S. This game doesn’t deserve all the negative criticism that it got, as some people give it 0:s and 1:s because they either don’t like the overall story, or that it is not as good as the first one. This game could never reach the bar set by the first one, because of how pivotal the first one were to the gaming industry. There was no game like it, but now you have games such as Detroit become human, Jedi fallen order etc. that follows the same format as a story driven game as the las of us 1. To reach the same level in this game is impossible, so don’t judge it because of that    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think The Last Of Us: Part II is even better than the previous one, don't get me wrong, the previous one was a masterpiece, but it doesn't reflect the sincerity of the world, since they give us to know that Joel and Ellie are like others, THEY ARE PEOPLE, they are not heroes. They show us that just like we kill people they also kill, and they also have loved ones. It seems to me that as Ellie develops in this installment it is fantasticshow us an Ellie who falls in love and goes through different situations, either like the death of her peers/relatives until she realizes that the best way to pay homage to shes friend is being better than him. It lets us know that sooner or later things are over, whether it's like our loved ones or as some feeling.Also I don't want people to take it the wrong way, this is my point of view, obviously there's always going to be people who don't like the game or who just don't support it .But it seems to me that The Last Of Us: Part II, is and will be a complete past and jewel of play.

    The story of the first game was what made it great, the story of this sequel is what makes it so bad.

    If you are a fan of the first game do not buy this game, if you know nothing about the last of us then you better buy the first one instead of this one.    … Expand

    If you play games for their combat and graphics, then you will love this game but if you care at all about the point of the game and the storyline. then you will be extremely dissapointed.
    Just imagine playing as the character that kills your favorite character. it's a complete waste of time.
    Also why did i kill all of those people if i'm going to forgive Abby in the end? how is that justified?`

The new enemy's can now again be a little challenge but once you get use to their movements they can be figured out. In some situations you do.have to think what is the best approach to get through the area. Theres lots of hidden items to discover and new weapons to try. I have recently completed it, and yes I can see myself saying it again.

    For the negatives sometimes the areas are too big to explore just for supplies and now and again you get a little tires of searching every corner but it is essential to find bullets and crafting items to survive the game. In the stealth sections some of the enemies behave the same formula and feels like a repetition of the last encounter but it doesn't dampen the game play too much.

    There is one thing that I would like to say to reviews on here. Some.of them were posted minutes or hours after the games release to give it negative feedback. These are reviews from people who didnt really play much of a game or have never played the game and are just jumping the band wagon from social media. It's worth buying and adding to the collection of playstation exclusives. It deserves to be on the same shelf of horizon zero dawn, god.of war and spider-man. I think naughty dog have done an amazing job with this game do not believe what people from.the 19th of june are saying. It's not perfect but it is an amazing experience to play through and once it starts you do find yourself playing to the end.    … Expand

    I'm gonna try to make this the most unbiased review of the game: first of all, this game doesnt deserve a 0/0 , and surely it doesnt deserve a 10/10.

    Let me start with the bad side of the game, this game story is not bad per se, but the events in the game might be in a different chronological order than it should be, say for example, when a beloved character is in big trouble, you get    I'm gonna try to make this the most unbiased review of the game: first of all, this game doesnt deserve a 0/0 , and surely it doesnt deserve a 10/10.

    Let me start with the bad side of the game, this game story is not bad per se, but the events in the game might be in a different chronological order than it should be, say for example, when a beloved character is in big trouble, you get to play a little with the character that creates the big trouble to the beloved character, and in that moment you have NO idea what the deal is or what the story behind all of this is, this is where, by placing some background story before the facts can help the storytelling be more justified.

    Theres also the fact that some characters act out of character, Joel is more trustful, even though he's a hated man and he knows it, Tommy is reckless and impulsive, Ellie forgets how to be a warrior, gets nerfed of her strength (both mentally, like phisically), and the new characters, had so much potential to be more close to the player, but failed to achieve the connection to us.

    Ok lets talk about the AI, your AI partner at times, is just useless, let me put it this way, they might as well were totally gone from the scenery and it would'nt matter, sometimes they can save you from enemy grabs, and sometimes (only sometimes), they execute a second enemy while you are executing the first one, but that's it, zombies forget they exist, you're on your own, basically.

    The Controls, yup, i thought my controller was faulty, but no, you want to run? nope, you can't do it in this exact place, you want to jump? nope!... The back and forth controlling system this game has is pretty confusing, allowing us to run when the game wants us to, and jump too. This makes the pacing of the game way slower than it should be.

    The last bad thing to me, are the open spaces with no use whatsoever: Have you ever been in a game scenary and you want to explore it, maybe there is something hidden in this corner or in this room, but no, there's nothing there most of the times, it's just an empty room, yeah, i know, it's a post-apocalyptic world, but hey, then don't create rooms for nothing, just close the door or something right? This point it's just my humble opinion, 'cause i haven't read about it anywhere else.

    ---Ok, now let me talk about the good things!

    Graphics, awesome, the grass for example, was revolutionary to me, the treatment to the snow, every danm footstep was there, i know this might seem like no big deal, but the way we interact with the world is what gets us inside of it, yeah, the graphics are also a piece of art, everything was on point, there was one part in the game where i found an electric fan, which matched every single detail of one that i had in that room at that moment, that **** blew my mind.

    Yeah, some facial expressions were all distorted, but even the slightest movement of an eyebrow, got the message across.

    The gameplay was so good, i loved it, i loved how you could walk in crouch mode at the speed you wanted, literally, super slow, ultra slow, kind of slow, etc... I L-O-V-E-D I-T. I have to admit it was kind of awkward how the "Silent Executions" made so much noice, and how the hand to hand fighting parts had a weird camera angle everytime, but past that, i loved it, it was all about the reflexes and calmness of the player to succeed in a fight. I love to depend on hability and agility instead of button mashing.

    It was nice having new mechanics in the game, i loved the parts where you had to run through obstacles and all, it was so thrilling.

    in conclusion: i dont hate this game, i was rooting for it, i wanted it to succeed like the last one, but even the ending got me mad out of my chair, i really don't think the story is well thought out, but the game is just masterpiece material, you can't say the game is good, only because it plays good, it has to feel good to be great.

Its pretentious that this game thinks it teaching me something I dont know. If the developers really wanted to be thought provoking, the should have made a Deus Ex style game with the player being able to make choices. Even if all the outcome to those choices were negative at least it would be engaging. Like Bioshock Infinite, TLOU2 has a disconnect between gameplay and story.

    Utterly disappointed…by the fans.

    I’ll be honest. The first The Last of Us game is my favourite game of all time, having no other game coming even close…until now. Having finished The Last of Us Part II I felt depressed, the game left me in a rough shape, but it was worth it. I strongly believe that It is an experience that caters differently to every single player, so I don’t think    Utterly disappointed…by the fans.

Having finished The Last of Us Part II I felt depressed, the game left me in a rough shape, but it was worth it. I strongly believe that It is an experience that caters differently to every single player, so I don’t think going over the story would be really substantial in this text. Just remember: Character progression in important in storytelling, and the main characters really end up learning their lesson in the end, with a high cost for everyone. Sure, it's rough and non-satisfactory, but that's the way it should be with a story like the one being told in TLOU 2.
    All I wanna ask of anyone reading this: try to play/watch the game without being prejudiced by the backlash, or even positive comments. Try to get your own opinion. In the very least, if you dislike the story, you’ll get some amazing set pieces and intense combat, plus a wonderful soundtrack/atmosphere.
    9/10 for me. The -1 is due to a weird pacing in the second half of the game and some characters lacking “chemistry”. Apart from that, it was so worth the wait, the hype, and the time I invested.
    Once in a lifetime experience for me. Hope you’ll find ways to enjoy it as well.

    Objectively this game doesnt deserve a 0/10, the visuals and soundtrack are great and the gameplay is alright. But you can't make a sequel to one of the best videogames ever with this pathetic level of writing, I know that some reviewers and crybabies will be giving it a 10/10 so I'll slightly compensate that with a 0/10. I hope Naughty Dog learned their lesson, although I doubt it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 has a complex story, and might be the best looking game of this generation, Part 3 coming soon?

    The gameplay has been remade and it shows. It improves on the TLOU1 mechanics and you can see that very easily, the gameplay easily is the best part of the game.

    The graphics are also improved heavily. Since the game is linear, they tried to make the graphics better then any other Video Games have and they achieved it.

    Now let's get into the story. TLOU 2 has a really complex story that not everyone might understand. I will get into spoilers from now so be sure to finish the game before reading my review.

    The story takes it's place during a few years. There are 2 playable characters (Ellie and Abby). At the beginning of the game we see Abby killing Joel but the game doesn't give us a proper reason till we reach half of the game. The Fireflies are gone and now there are 2 new groups, WLF and Scars (Seraphites). For the first half of the game you play as Ellie, you are on a quest to find Abby and the rest of the group that helped her kill Joel. You will go through Seattle for a period of 3 days. After you reach half of the game you find out that Abby and her father were part of the Firefly group, and that her father was the doctor supposed to make the cure for the virus by killing Ellie. While everyone saw Abby as the antagonist, she has a pretty similar story to Ellie. At the end you are playing as Ellie, everything is good now. Dina has a kid and Tommy is still alive. The last fight is Ellie vs Abby and you are playing as Ellie. At the end of the fight you nearly kill Abby but a flashback with Joel comes up, Ellie lets Abby live because now she understands why Abby killed Joel. Abby escapes and reaches the newly formed Firefly group. Ellie goes back to the farmhouse to find Dina and the kid left. Ellie goes to the guitar but she can't sing anymore since she lost 2 fingers. She leaves the guitar near the window and the game ends.

    Now here comes the complex part that i think everyone missed. When the guitar and window are focused on the screen, Ellie is seen leaving the house but in a blurry vision. It most probably represents that Ellie finally forgave that Joel saved her, and even forgave Abby for what she did. Ellie finally understood why both Joel and Abby did it. The guitar in the window means that Ellie left the house leaving everything that has happened behind and she wants to continue her life without thinking about the past anymore, she knows that rage and revenge won't get her anywhere. The story wants to tell you that we are all humans and that we do things because of our rage, and we don't think about our actions before doing it.

    The game left me speechless. Everyone has a different opinion and everyone should say it out loud.

    This is what i thought about the game.    … Expand

Die 10 Stunden mit Abby waren auch eine Qual, diese muskulösen Arme und allgemein der Körperbau der Figur passt nicht in diese Welt. Man hat keine Vorteile als Bodybuilder, ich kenne Privat einen und dieser ist nicht gerade beweglich. Ich finde auch ihr Charakter schlecht geschrieben und die Motivation sehr fragwürdig. Eine große Zeit verbringt man auch, um Medikamente aus einem Krankenhaus zu holen, nur damit die Verletzte Person kurz darauf erschossen wird. Das ging mir alles so richtig auf den Keks, ansonsten die Geschichte um Ellie finde ich gut und spannend erzählt. Sie hätten die Geschichte von Abby kürzer schreiben sollen, das hätte dem Spiel gut getan. Es ist auch deutlich zu lang, ich will das Spiel mögen, doch alles zusammen ist es einfach eine Enttäuschung.… Expand

The parallels between Ellie and Abby's story were beautifully tied together with Abby being just a few steps ahead of Ellie both linearly and emotionally.… Expand

You both knew that if you made a new game and tried to sell this crap no one would buy it. The only way for both of you to make money for this is to destroy a beloved series. Plus look at it this way, no one cares that Ellie is a lesbian, she was in the first game and I thought it was fine. What is so bad is you force your agenda on a story that makes no since.

While not as focused, maybe, as the first, it's a sprawling emotional epic that addresses *that* ending of part one slowly and with great care over the course of its 25-30 hour play. It manages to dissect that final moment between Ellie and Joel from Part 1 in a comprehensive and thoughtful way. The Naughty Dog team is able to express so much through the mood and tone alone-- lighting, sound design and music, the sets (the decaying cities being reclaimed by nature-- that layering of worlds-- has never been so well realized), the camera work-- the crew members at Naughty Dog are the real stars. That's not to say the performances aren't great. Ashley Johnson once again is a stand out as Ellie. Ellie transforms over the course of the story, events slowly wear her down, but we are also given glimpses of her younger, vibrant and hopeful self as well. That's all made possible by Ashley Johnson's voice work and motion/facial captured performances. Troy Baker's Joel is an older Joel. Nostalgic and wistful. Sad. Lonely. Kind. Clumsy. Brutal. His conscience is clearly weighing on him and Baker can show this by saying very little.

    Where it was the morality of the ending of part one that was so... discussion-worthy for me and many others, this game I find myself thinking over moral dilemmas from several points in the game's story after having finished it. There is a lot to chew on here with themes of forgiveness and empathy, tribalism, vengeance/justice, and dealing with grief/loss present both in the main story and throughout the environments and contextual notes. The Last of Us as a series presents us with acts of violence or selfishness as contagious as the fungal infection-- cause and effect; the cure presented in Part 2 is not a vaccine, but an act of kindness and selflessness that can be equally as contagious.

    Aside from all that, it's a brutal post-apocalyptic neo-noir western revenge story. Film and literary references to stories about cycles of violence and vengeance (Moby Dick, Godfather Part II, Princess Mononoke, to name a few), too, are dense and sprinkled sprinkled throughout. It's a well crafted, tight 3rd person stealth action shooter with tense and desperate combat, some light crafting, engaging environmental puzzles... What more do you want from a game?    … Expand

    Jogo incrível, aspectos técnicos impecáveis, diferente de todo e qualquer trabalho antes realizado em games, uma redefinição de AAA, com uma história excelente que nem todos absorvem ou entendem como deveria ser entendida. Uma verdadeira obra de arte, em todos os aspectos, sem mais.

    Prezados, sinceramente vivi e amei cada momento do primeiro game da série. Infelizmente o roteiro de “The last of us 2” é feito de algumas apologias e escolhas as quais podem ter sido vetores da queda da nota geral por seus usuários.

Um personagem é como uma pintura, onde o artista projeta seus conteúdos, perversões e valores, indo dos mais nobres aos terríveis e desprezíveis por nós. Esta continuação não fugiu à regra, mas teve algo bom. Mostrou que nós jogadores temos crítica e sabemos separar um jogo ótimo em ação, gráfico, som, dublagem, mecânica de movimento, etc... De seu questionável roteiro e demais escolhas que destruíram as identidades de personagens e contextos. “Quem lacra não lucra”,é... Mas tiveram a sorte de fazerem ótimos valores na pré venda... Então desta vez se safaram Naughty Dog, mas não terão a terceira OK.… Expand

    This game is a complete pile of garbage. Abby is the most deplorable character in the entire universe. The sex scene which involves this abomination of a human being can be considered the most distasteful, disgusting, and wretched scene in all gaming history.

    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]
