    How did it end up like this? I didn't think it was possible to go from 100 to 0 so quickly, but Naughty Dog did it. A complete 180 in storytelling and direction. Both games shall be remembered: The Last of Us as a testament to storytelling and setting, and The Last of Us Part II, how to butcher a legacy in record time.

    This feels like a fever dream. How can this be real?

    Absolutely gorgeous environments, Beautifully crafted visuals. Great voice acting.

    Too bad the script and character development is a plot-hole ridden mess that ruins how pretty everything is. It's like dating the prettiest girl in school, and finding out she's dumb as a rock, really selfish, doesn't shower, and is kinda racist. Nah...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fans of the series waited 7 years for a follow-up to one of the greatest stories of gaming. Would the sequel develop on finding a cure? Exploring the roots of the virus? New adventures with both Joel and Ellie? F*** no.Let's kill a beloved MC for shock value, demand players to play a shallow character (joel saves her life and she just shotguns and golfs his head in) that no one gives two **** about,
    plot the entire game on revenge after revenge and in the end force our character to do exactly what most players dont want.Plus there is so many plotholes through it all,and most character's are like "Hey it's me this is my story"(and one in particular just exists to justify a pregnency, then dies like a **** dog) and then we never see them again.

    One thing, that i did like story-wise was the relationship of Ellie and Dina. It felt natural and believable.I enjoyed that.But it all falls apart on this mess of a story

    Gameplay is awesome, but the story ruins it all.(After all it's a narrative story) Also, Sony false advertised JOEL in the trailers. JOEL appeared on many parts of the trailers pointing that there would be an adventure with the duo, but they fking replaced it with Jessee.Also the flashbacks of TLOU were altered to comply with this story.

    A mess of a game. How low did naughty dog fell.

    Worse that this **** game is the "critics". How dare they all give 100's on this mess?
    I wouldn't accept the rumor that sony pays for reviews, but in this case...it's more than evident.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pure dumpster fire, and an insult to the fans. Having seen what this "sequel" came to be makes me think that this practice should be illegal. This isn't a sequel. It might be a spin-off, it might be a fanfic, but it certainly isn't a sequel. It took the two main characters from the previous title, used their faces and names, yet stripped them of all of their traits, personality and characteristics, and for what? A typical "bittersweet" story? A "there's no good or bad, just different perspectives" ending? Social activism? Truly deplorable. The writer should be fired and be forced to forever be remembered as someone who attempted to rip people off, by promising to deliver a continuation to a story that was adored by many, and instead seizing the opportunity to virtue signal.… Expand

    A good game or movie begins and ends with a good story. TLOU was amazing in this regard.

    Part 2 should continue that story, not destroy it just because they want to subvert expectations while pushing a personal political view over good story and logical writing. TLOU2 has some of the worst writing and plot choices that ultimately undo the first game.

    Horrible.

    The best game of this generation, I especially loved the sound design during Abby's sex scene : the subtle sounds of Owen balls slamming against the muscular ass of Abby were recreated masterfully.

    Let's not forget the animation department for their beautiful depiction of her women **** truly a breathtaking scene that I'll never forget !

E só porque não se adapta no que você gosta, não seja babaca, não seja um hater de dar uma nota 0-5, sei que não é o jogo da sua vida, mas com certeza não merece essa nota. Uma comparação mais que perfeita, são pessoas que dizem que Breaking Bad é "lento" e "parado", sem entender NADA do contexto e narrativa da história. Para TLOU é a mesma coisa, estamos em um mundo pós-apocaliptico, a Ellie não é o Rambo, não é o Nathan Drake do Uncharted, é uma obra REALISTA. Insano, brutal, maduro, complexo, realista e com certeza é um dos melhores e mais bem feitos jogos já feitos até hoje.… Expand

    The game tried to differentiate itself far too much from the first game, and in a very bad way, I found myself caring little to not at all for the stroy or its characters. While it's gameplay makes up for it, it's utter lack of story telling and believable world building is astonishingly atrocious

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Trying to extend the story of The Last of Us in a meaningful way was always going to be an uphill battle. What’s so frustrating about Part 2 is that the game seems to have all the pieces necessary to do just that. But those pieces end up getting lost as the game also tries to tell an entirely new story, one that tries to expand the Last of Us world into a generalized setting for an anthology of loosely connected stories. The end result never comes together in a satisfying way.

    That doesn’t take away from the many enjoyable, memorable, and even emotional moments as Part 2’s barrels from promising start to messy conclusion. But it also serves as a marked comedown from the quiet, directed, self-contained confidence of the first game.

    I don’t regret the time I spent back in the world of The Last of Us. But a big part of me was left wondering if its creators just should have left well enough alone.    … Expand

Additionally, I try to stay out of politics because of how they divide people. This game has a lot of dialog and interactions that seem to be forcing a political opinion down the player's throat. It feels unnatural and compromises the experience. I might not end up finishing the game because I lost interest after playing throughout midnight and morning.

    As someone who values story over visuals and gameplay I was aphauled at the level of polish of the story vs the polish of everything else. The 2 points are only because I value the efforts of the devs and the detail they put into the game. The story is shocking for the sake of being shocking. Shame its not just a sequal, it's not the same characters so it's a solo game of pety revenge for me.

    Beautiful. Great details. I do not expect lesser given it's reputation as a triple A title. In this day and age, other than WWE 2K, graphcs should be stunning.

    Gameply:
    Moving mechanics remained the same with left/right strafing, right analog to control direction you are heading.
    Crafting is similar.
    Dodging mechanic are welcome but mediocore at best. Just a series of quicktime events
    There's a jump button, but it's basically useless. My grandma can jump better than the in-game charcter.

    One reviewer claimed that it's the "Best Stealth game" of all time. (Laughs in Metal Gear). On the pH scale of 1-14, stealth is 14 cause it's very basic. Many times when I'm behind a cover and an enemy is approaching, I receive the prompt button before he's even close. Ellie pops and jumps a distance to grab the enemy for a stealth kill. This looks completely unrefined to me and is light years away from what other stealth game has achieve.

    Storyline:
    Boy oh boy, what a mess. Politics aside, this game completely subvert your expectations. We understand Joel is not exactly a saint but ND seems determined on schooling us with "cycles of revenge" storyline. It's as cliche as it sounds and everything is done for shock value, edgy for the sake of being edgy.. The first few hours just renders everything the first game built useless. This is just plain unwise given that there's so much emotional attachment to the game charcters. Imagine having Arthur Morgan die in RDR2 and then you play as Micah Bell, how would you feel?

    There's no way to root for the new protagonist at all.

    Metacritic would probably filter out many "0" as review bombs, but if video game journalist can freely give 10/10 as they please, why can't us consumer?    … Expand

I won't comment on the LGBTQ aspect, it honestly didn't irritate me the way everything else did.

    Certain moments are beautiful and the game looks pristine. But unfortunately it feels too dated and the story suffers from bad writing. Naughty Dog should have kept the first game as the only one. This was unnecessary.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Back in 2013, I could not have been more hyped for the original game. At that point there was no game I had anticipated more. And when I played it, I absolutely loved it. The world building and storytelling was great, I developed such an attachment to Joel and Ellie. Seeing the initial conflict between them, with them eventually getting to be like daughter and son. To be honest, I almost cried when Joel fell and got impaled, as I thought he died. I loved the first game so much.

    But for TLOU2, man am I disappointed. The world and detail in the game is great, the facial animations are top tier. The graphics aren't quite as impressive for the time as they were for the first one, but they're still good. However, the trailers and ads for the game were so misleading. They made it look like Joel would play a big part in the story with how often they showed him. But nope, killed off by an angry buff woman with a golf club. The writing and story is just HORRIBLE. And why do we need sex scenes? They add nothing in this game. In the original DLC when Ellie realized she was lesbian, whatever I don't care. They just harped on it a bit much. This entire game is "Subvert your expectations" and its awful. I don't want to spoil the ending, despite how terrible it is. Let's just say the ending will only piss you off more.    … Expand

    A technical accomplishment utterly ruined by narrative choices. The unbridled contempt shown by the writer towards certain characters (and by extension, segments of the audience) is evinced in the sadism, humiliation, and perversion which plays out in the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished this game a few minutes ago after playing it for 13+ hours. The ending was extremely unsatisfying and it made the entire game pointless. The gameplay was good (I'd give it 7/10) but I don't really play single-player story games for the gameplay, and from what I've heard, the creator of this game said it wasn't meant to be fun. So if I just focus on the story, this would be my rating. Random side-plots about a character that I couldn't care less about, and a pointless overall story that doesn't achieve anything.
    Before this game, I used to trust critic reviews. I thought that "game critics being paid or biased" was just a meme, and I'm not really into that conspiracy theorist stuff that thinks game developers actually pay reviewers to give them a high rating. However, after I played this, I couldn't comprehend how any sane human being in the world could give this a 10/10. A 6/10 would be a lot more understandable because the gameplay is solid (nothing too revolutionary, but it's fine). A 7/10 would also be fine if you somehow actually liked the story. But a 10/10 score? There are games out there that are a million times more deserving of such a rating. I actually don't trust reviewers now after this. I used to think people just overreacted when they said critics are being biased or paid.    … Expand

The game director got too involved in the project, there is a character that was motion captured by Neil Druckmann, there is a file in the game mentioning Neil Druckmann, there is an OC of Neil Druckmann in the game, he was more interested in accomplish his personal agenda than deliver a coherent story. And oh god, he forced one of the actresses to have motion capture sex with him in one of the scenes, absolutely disguting.

    We have learned nothing about the fungus, the cure, the fireflies, there is no world bulding or character development, none. Everything here is focused on Ellie and Abby's personal struggle, and oh my god, both are written horribly. It makes everything look like filler, it looks like you bought a DLC from the original game rather than a new game. And they lied to you, they hidden Abby in almost all the marketing after the leaks controversy, you ACTUALLY play with her for more than half of the game.

    - The gameplay makes me understand why the critics gave 10/10 for this game, it basically plays itself with the minimum imput of the player, perfect for lazy critics, it is an interactive movie. The first 6 hours of gameplay is a walking simulator. In the parts that you do have to play for real, the gameplay is just a tweaked version of its predecessor. There is nothing revolutionary or interesting about it as they promise in the marketing. It's just more of the same generic third-person FPS, RDR2 did it way better.

    - The soundtrack is generic and nothing special.

    - The graphics and facial expression are the game's strongest selling points. But they look pale compared to RDR2.

    This game honestly is a 5/10 but I'm giving it a 0/10 because of the director's smugness and arrogance and because of the way Naughty Dog treated his employees during the development of this game.

    Absolutely shameful, take your money elsewhere.    … Expand

So yeah, after 7 years, we got a game with the same mechanics, an introduction that kills your most beloved character out of the blue, 50% of the game is based on trying to give the player a sense of guilt, and the ending is nothing but a sense of "Huh so this was a game".

    One of the best heroes was viciously killed like a side-story character without any reasons, just to make a drama to the story. Which is concentrating around a lesbian propaganda, overwhelming violence and totally empty characters.
    Even antagonist is a total s##t, made of a society begging opinions. But making a full-story lineup about her life? You're totally mad if you think that gamers gonna eat this.
    7 years of waiting to get a SJW game and favorite character dead.
    Don't make games anymore, if you gonna follow up a SJW community wishes and spitting on a fans.
    It's no point in Ellie and Abby confrontations, it was pointless to leave Ellie alive, but you did it. What was the sense of all this? Just to continue a story?
    The story lineup based on a feeling around an empty story, with a bending under SJW wishes is a crap.

Com personagens agindo de forma muito diferente do primeiro game e decisões de roteiro no mínimo questionáveis a história de last of us part 2 éNaughty dog fez um ótimo trabalho em quesitos visuais, o game é lindo e isso é inegável. Mas o que fez a maioria de nós gostar do primeiro the last of us foi sua história e principalmente seus personagens, ambos são desrespeitados nessa sequência. Com personagens agindo de forma muito diferente do primeiro game e decisões de roteiro no mínimo questionáveis a história de last of us part 2 é de longe seu ponto mais fraco.
    Fica claro, principalmente depois do próprio diretor do game Neil Druckman admitir em uma palestra, que o jogo se propôs a empurrar uma agenda política progressista e completamente fora da realidade em um mundo pós apocalíptico com zumbis, zumbis esses que ficam em segundo plano nessa jornada de vingança.
    Vemos aqui presente o clássico clichê do 'ciclo de violência', mas a abordagem de Druckman é diferente, subverter expectativas e acontecimentos é o seu diferencial, já vimos esse tipo de roteiro em franquias como Star wars the last jedi e Game of thrones season 8, parece agradar bastante parte do público enquanto enfurece a maior base dos fãs.
    O gameplay é bem parecido com o que vimos no primeiro jogo com algumas melhorias e adições como a esquiva e o botão de pular, nada de muito inovador e em determinados pontos chega a ser repetitivo demais.
    Em conclusão, a naughty dog entregou um jogo belíssimo, com um mundo imersivo mas falhou no que the last of us tinha de melhor: sua história e personagens. Os personagens previamente estabelecidos tomam ações duvidosas e os personagens novos são rasos e desinteressantes. O jogo tem essa atmosfera pesada e depressiva, com breves momentos de leveza que não duram muito. O final é bem depressivo e deixa o jogador sem nenhum tipo de recompensa, se perguntando, valeu realmente a pena?
    A resposta é não.
    P.S.: Ao rever os trailers e teasers do jogo, fica claro como a naughty dog manipulou estes para passar a impressão que o jogo seria uma coisa que não é, chegando ao ponto de alterar vozes e personagens em determinadas cenas.    … Expand
