    Finished the game on Hard in about three weeks. In the first Last of Us game, I got uncomfortable about getting practically no choice but to go murder lots of people. This time it was even more uncomfortable practically all the time, but I think they managed to make it more intentional and clear -- it's not supposed to be comfortable.

    So I actually preferred the plot in part 2, although    Finished the game on Hard in about three weeks. In the first Last of Us game, I got uncomfortable about getting practically no choice but to go murder lots of people. This time it was even more uncomfortable practically all the time, but I think they managed to make it more intentional and clear -- it's not supposed to be comfortable.

    So I actually preferred the plot in part 2, although I'd say I was more driven by the thrill of the insane, gratuitous, brutal action scenes than anything else. I simply love the chaotic mess that most fights turn into. But rest assured the story is solid enough, and NOT "full of gaping plot holes" or failing at "subverting expectations".

    Gameplay-wise, I'd prefer larger sandboxes to these completely pre-scripted events. There certainly would have already been enough content in the game to make it a more open place with some optional side missions etc. If I had my way, in hard mode you'd need to go through a lot of optional missions and find all the "bonus rooms" to get everything upgraded, to have a chance at proceeding through some harder bosses. Now instead you'll just have a harder time getting upgrades, because of lesser resources. Fine, that works as a way to make the game harder, but as a competionist, I wasn't too happy to have to start a "new game+" to get everything maxxed out. Of course I appreciate the option, but would have preferred to do it in one run.

    Same complaint as the first game: For a game that carries a message of anti-violence (however hypocritical that may be), I'd love to see more options to solve the levels non-lethally, such as zip-tying enemies or taking a hostage. You can kind of take a hostage and hold a gun on someone
    for 3 seconds. Not sure if I missed something here, but it seems they just always struggle out of it, unless you kill them almost straight away.

    You can still sneak or run through most levels, but that essentially feels like you just skipped them.
    And the game doesn't award you for letting those people live. You'll just miss out on the ammo you could have found on them (and the excitement of the fight).

    My absolute favourite part was triggering the undead against the live enemies, hiding and letting them kill each other! I was so thrilled about that, and then quite disappointed afterwards, that there was the only that single encounter where you could do that.

    Graphically, animatically, cinematographically etc. not even the haters are contesting that it's the best-looking game ever, and runs near-perfect on a standard PS4 (like, what do we need the PS5 for?), so... Even with my small gripes a very solid 10/10 "interactive movie".    … Expand

    Anyone who claims that the game is full of "lazy writing" or that the game "ruins the original and it's characters" really knows **** all about writing and story telling. It's almost like they weren't paying attention in the first game. I replayed the first game right before part II came out, just to make sure I wouldn't be blinded by nostalgia.

    The first game was all about subverting expectations ( subverting the generic save the world from the apocalypse plot) and part II follows suit and really pushes the medium forward even more than the first one. The first game was just as depressing as the second. The first game had just as much violence as the first game. The first game portrayed the enemy factions as grey and sometimes even sympathetic as well. And part II has just as many endearing moments and lovable characters as the first.

    Even if the story was trash (it really isn't) the game would still not be a 0/10. Only unplayable glitchy messes, which can't get past their opening menu are a 0/10. The gameplay is some of the best stealth I've ever played, the game looks drop dead gorgeous, the soundtrack is amazing and the game runs very smoothly.

    Solid 10/10 for me. Don't let the 0/10 reviews scare you off from playing the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's weirdly funny and sad at the same time reading the users reviews haha. You can see how much self centered and spoiled people are nowadays. People describe the entire story without understanding nothing about it. Always the same: "destroyed the characters", "doesn't do what fans wanted/waited", "too much political agenda"bla bla bla. First: the theme of the game is hate, revenge, ambiguity and consequences. But overall, how hate destroy people and those who surround them. So yes, the characters that we love from the first game were destroyed in terrible ways to show us the consequence of giving into such a negative feeling. Of course it was annoying playing as Abby after what happened. And that was the point. The team behind the game knew exactly what they were doing. They didn't try to make us "like" Abby, just to show us how similar she was to Joel and that the only reason we love him and hate her, is because of perspectives and proximity, not because of the people they are. Ellie sees that in the end, she sees in Abby and Lev exactly the same stuff that happened with Joel and herself. Speaking about the end, lots of people crying like spoiled kids, saying that they at least wanted to "choose". Undestand this: that is ellie's story, not yours, not mine. And guess what, ellie wanted to kill Abby too, she didn't forgave her and will never do. She just sees joel and herself reflected on Abby and lev, got maturity and decides that she doesn't want to be a person like Abby and Joel, who put their egoistic feeling (whether it be love or hatred) in front of their own humanity. After all, that was all the problem between ellie and Joel, she couldn't accept that he did the terrible thing he did in the end of the first game just because of the feelings he had for her. Joel was a monster who tried to redime himself through Ellie. Same way Abby became a monster in her path of vengeance and tries to redime herself through Lev and Yara. Ellie just realizes that cycle and decided (unfortunately too late, maybe) that she didn't want to be like them. The game is uncomfortable, maybe even frustrating sometimes, bitter. But that is perfect to make you feel like Ellie and Abby do. You can feel how tendentious we are, here, in real life. And for that, we can realize that in those circumstances, most likely we would do the same terrible things those three characters did. The game speaks a lot about ourselves, our egoistic tendencies. It's a honest mirror, and maybe because of that, so much people can't stand it. Finally, about the political stuff in the game, it's ridiculous that people here say that "game is not place for that". Game is, before everything, art. And there is no better place for questioning, representing and expressing opinions than in art. That's why art stands for. And of course, it includes above all the political themes since they are so important to people and society. To me, the best thing about this game is to throw in our faces the clear message: Things you like are not necessarily good or better, and things that you dislike are not necessarily bad or worse. In fact, good or bad depends all of perspective. It can seem cliche message for a well lettered and reasonable person (rare stuff nowadays), but the geniality of the game is in letting us feel our annoy and anger while playing as abby, feel our frustration with ellie letting her alive. Just to realize later how hypocrit we are for feeling those feelings, since Joel and Abby did almost the same thing (he did worse, actually) and Abby left Ellie alive TWICE, even after she killed all her friends and the person she loved. All that said, the game to me is obviously a 10, because I love art pieces that are capable of making me questioning myself in a deep and honest way. But if you are a spoiled person incapable to do so, or if you just seek for uncompromised entertainment, tham I say to you: The Last of Us Part all is not for you. And the developers made it very clear since the beginning.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start off with the gameplay. The gameplay has changed a lot with new zombie types, smarter AI, A prone and jump button, new weapons, and new stuff to craft. With all these changes the gameplay is significantly better than the first one and was A blast to play. The graphics are honestly probably the best graphics on the ps4 besides detroit become human. The story was pretty good but could have been better. Joels death was not done right and completely forgets all the rules of survival in the first one with trusting strangers and telling them everything about you. There was an unnecessary sex scene with abbys story. However the game does a good job at humanising abby and her friends. It makes no sense to say Abby is poorly written because Eliie and Abby have the exact same motives and Abby redeems herself by the end of the story. The lesson of the story is revenge only makes you lose stuff and does benefit anyone including yourself. I feel like at the end they should have given the player a choice between killing Abby or letting her go because both endings make sense. This game also has amazing voice acting. I hope it wins game of the year.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An awesom experience with a game that in many ways almost trancends computergaming (Ellie playing an acoustic version of Take on me, and it happened in a computergame folks, come on!) I had no problem with this not being a 100% Ellie/ Joel story, I got to like playing as Abby, and came to actually fear losing both of the two protagonists in the end. Il’l admit that I found some of the ex firefly characters less interesting, and the story could have been shorter overall, but then again knowing that it will probably be about 7 years before I get to play in this world again, I chose to just enjoy it all and be thankfull.
    Listen, I grew up with the Commodore 64 and the Amiga, and to witness how far cpu games have come with this game is just mindblowing. I experienced every feeling playing as either Ellie og Abby, fear, anger, Sandras, joy, awe, happiness, relief etc. Very few games can give you that, if any. And I havn’t even mentioned the incredible visuals, the beautiful music and the rest of the technical aspects of the game itself, the controls, the AI, the UI etc, all working almost flawlessly. I have no hate for this game, no hate for its characters (for those who don’t believe woman can be build like Abby, wake up and smell the crossfit sport) and no hate for the fact that eventhough at the core of it all, this is Ellis story, it’s also Abbys and what a story it is!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это шедевральная игра. Не понимаю почему люди так засрали ее. Сюжет мне понравился, но он не идеален в том плане, что людям подавай душещепательные истории, многие этого не понимают, поэтому хейтят игру за сюжет. Я думаю, что авторы хотели показать жизнь такой какая она есть: Джоэл- слабый человек, принял решение жизни за Элли; Эбби убивает Джоэла, но как по мне Джоэл тогда не понял, что произошло, а должен бы, чтобы усвоить урок; Элли начинает мстить всем людям, кто причастен в смерти Джоэла, она не разобралась во всем кто все эти люди (бывшие цикады), она даже не знала, что Джоэл убил отца Эбби. Элли тоже не идеальна, так как все равно продолжила мстить, после того как ее пощадили аж два раза. Хоть я и не очень шарю за жизнь и не знаю, как поступил бы сам примерно в такой же ситуации, но со стороны я все это вижу так. Геймплей абсолютно такой же как и в первой части, несмотря на некоторые нюансы, игра выглядит как продолжение первой части. Мало музыки в игре было, в первой части было больше музыки, которая подходила в разные момент, эта музыка очень важна, так как она поддерживает накал страстей, эмоций, и музыка из первой части очень подходила. На счет ЛГБТ повестки, я считаю, что не нужно пихать людям это в лицо, люди и сами разберутся, как им жить, людям непривычно видеть это везде, так как все привыкли, что мальчик с девушкой, а когда наоборот, то это выглядит странно, хотя может это и к лучшему, нужно привыкать ко всей этой теме.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is probably one of the best games that I have ever played. There are so many just beautiful things about the game, one of which is obviously the stunning graphics and another being the brilliant game play. But contrary to what many seem to be saying, it also has a masterfully written story that makes you question your actions while seeking your revenge after the death of Joel. Now... the death of Joel is something that many seem mad about, but in all honesty, there is nothing wrong with his death, it is realistic, it makes us face the harsh reality of the world that is The Last of Us. While I do agree that Joel died a bit early, it is in no way detrimental to the story whatsoever and gives you a drive to push through the many violent encounters to find Abby.

    Now that we have gotten to the subject, I think that Abby is a brilliant character that had the unfortunate role of being the one to kill Joel. When comparing Ellie and Abby you see that there are many parallels between the two and the seem to follow the constant idea of 'If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself'. Yes, as a hardcore Ellie fan, it was heartbreaking to play as Abby and try to kill Ellie, but it also let's us realize that Ellie and Joel aren't the only people in this world who have lost people, Ellie and Joel are not the only people who feel, there are consequences to out actions.

    The flashbacks were emotional, with the Birthday flashback possibly being my favorite segment of the game, and once you get to the end you come to realize that the death of Joel not only ripped Ellie of her father figure, but also her chance to forgive Joel, again reinforcing the idea of how cruel and spontaneous this world can be.

    The ending was also one of the best endings I have ever seen, bringing me to tears as I saw the aftermath of Ellie's revenge, missing two fingers and unable to play the guitar the Joel gave her, all the while Abby is still alive. Leaving Abby alive was something that I was very mad about when I heard about the ending initially, but when I finally played to the end, I realised that this was what I as the player wanted, I just waned Ellie to stop this senseless violence, to move on. Having Abby on the verge of death had me thinking 'Is this even worth it any more?". I'm glad this ending really resonated with me but I can understand how many would not like this.

    This game was beautiful, again, one of the best games that I have ever played and is certainly worth a play. Don't judge the game before playing it and try not to go into it with anger about the spoilers in mind or a belief that Joel is an invincible hero that is not susceptible to change, otherwise your experience will be ruined. If you do go into it with an open mind as Troy Baker said, I am confident that you will love the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story:Most people would disagree with this opinion but I really enjoyed the game, there were flaws with it, the story was a bit drawn out, I would have liked to play as Joel more and have less time with Abby, I think the emotions the game gives are things that not many other games have done, the sadness when Joel dies and the conflicting feelings when fighting Ellie with Abby and actually wanting to lose

    Graphics: amazing graphic 10/10 best of the generation no doubt, I understand how people might not like the story but giving the game anything from a 0-4 is unfair just for this reason

    Gameplay: also a 10/10 for the gameplay - builds from the last game but also stays true to its core, the dodge button and prone made the gameplay much better, saying that there’s no difference from the first game is just a lie, from the silencer to the new guns and Ellie’s knife and the new infected and boss fight Overall the small problems I had with the story didn’t ruin the game for me rather just stopped it from being a 9,10/10 but if u could I’d give the game somewhere between 7 and 8    … Expand

    By showing the character's humanity (that is, their strengths and flaws as 'people'), it created what I feel is an authentic and 'real' sequel for part 1 and what would be expected for a story-based survival/horror game; supported by excellent voice acting, animation and understated soundtrack.

But after finish it, spending almost 35 hours of my life, analyzing details and discussing with my friends about it and not thinking in everything else for a few days, my conclusion is that this game is a masterpiece.
    Story is complex, not easy to follow, breaks and really unfair most of the time. I totally understand users that really don't like. It is painful from the beginning ( but remember the first hour of game of TLOU) and it broke my heart at the end. Important thing about this game is that this is not a story about Joel, or Ellie, I think that go really deep in human nature, instinct, irrational behaviour, sellfish purpuses and all of this taking into account the background of a distopic world.
    For that reason they present a batch of stories of totally broken and traumatized people with their lights and their shadows but always depending on the point of view.
    I never felt like this playing a game (and just a few movies), anger, disappointment, sadness, empathy for characters that I hated so bad at the beginning of the game.
    Only for that, the game totally worth it for me. It was a risky choice by Naughty Dog and I think that they knew what they we're doing and what could happen.
    This story and how it is told is not what we use to play and second part of the game was infuriating for me at the beginning but then you start to understand and feel different and regret of your thoughts and opinion.
    They play with your mind and with the things you think you know, the real master of puppets.
    Again, I totally understand people that don't like the game or waited a different story, for me it was a great experience.
    So, thanks for being brave, for trying to make a different story, thanks for caring about every single detail, my conclusion thanks for what you make me feel, all the good and all the bad.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a game that comes once in a generation. Everything about it is top notch! whether you are talking about gameplay, level design, story, sound design, graphics, acting or music. Game is technical marvel. Easily best sound design, graphics and animations we have ever seen in any video game. Combat is **** brutal and satisfying. Game offers some of the best action sequences but it doesn't feel over the top, it's grounded and intense. Like every other Naughty Dog game, TLOU2 is filled with mind-blowing details. Everything is thoughtfully realized and done intentionally. There is no single moment in story which isn't necessary. Game is huge, environments are enormous and it takes 25-30 hours to complete, mainly it depends on how you approach the game. Story is so good! yeah, it takes huge narrative risks but it isn't for shock value like many people claim. Everything that happens is service to the story. Killing of Joel is such an amazing way to ignite a revenge story. Also, game is much more than "revenge is bad." It's about trauma, anguish, grief redemption and love! Finally, I want to talk about actors and one and only Gustavo Santaolalla. Acting is hands down the best we've seen in any video game. Not only main actors (Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, Laura Bailey) but every other actor is on another level. It is indeed Oscar worthy performance. If Ashley Johnson doesn't win every award for her performance as Ellie than I don't know who should win... As I said Troy, Jeffrey Pierce, Laura and every other actor killed it and they deserve recognition too! Gustavo is a **** genius. All I can say about him is that if it's not Gustavo it's not The Last of Us.
    Overall, TLOU2 is nothing short of masterpiece, it's so far ahead of any other video game.. Every aspect of it is unbelievably good. This game will be talked about for years to come.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is phenomenal. This game had a tough act to follow, the first game was my favourite single player game ever. I was nervous if they could repeat the process but Naughty Dog did it again. The story is divisive, I loved it. I think a lot of people are struggling to let go of Joel and they are actually grieving for him. I loved his character but I also realised his flaws and also recognised he isn't the "hero" some make him out to be, I think this is pretty key to "getting" this game. If you decide to buy the game then my one piece of advice is keep an open mind and actually think about what's going on, read the notes, activate the optional conversations etc.

    So the graphics themselves are what we come to expect from Naughty Dog, industry leading and this is on a 7 year old machine, truly incredible.

    The acting for the characters is second to none, just watch the mannerisms of the characters especially in telling scenes. The dialogue is fantastic and fits with the what I think the characters would say and talk about.

    Sound design was incredible from the visceral noises of attacks and the blood gurgling death throws of the enemies. The music was again epic as like the first game really setting mood and tone for the scenes.

    Gameplay is an evolution of the first game, is far more fluid and fun switching from stealth to full action mode and back again easily. Variety in enemies was great and all feel like a true threat especially in numbers. Some of the new infected are pretty fun and scary in equal measure to fight.

    The story itself is pretty simple, but it's told very effectively. There's a portion of the game initially can be quite flustering and your wanting to go back to what you were doing before but the story development during this section is needed to get the full effect by the end and for me after a couple of hours this realisation was starting to hit home. It's a very thought provoking game and ND took risks which in today's boring AAA titles I welcome wholeheartedly.

    Seriously I was thinking about this game even after finishing it for weeks, currently on my second playthrough and love it. I certainly can't separate this from the first game and it's more of a continuation than a sequel so I guess both games are my favourite single player video game ever. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.    … Expand

    Насилие порождает насилие. Сюжет шикарный, для его понимая нужно включать мозг, он безумно эмоциональный. Игра очень атмосферная. Геймплей и графика у ноти дог как всегда 10/10

    The best game ever made. Who disagrees did not play. Even if these people who are giving a low score really didn't like it, do you think the game would really be a 0?

The Last of Us 2 shows that games like this offer a medium for story telling that cannot be done as effectively by other more traditional mediums. There is something very powerful about walking in the shoes of a character, that can’t be replicated when you are passively watching a movie, for example. The stakes feel much greater.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was really good. The story isn't all that bad how it's said to be and I think some people are connected to Joel a bit too much. Sucks that he died but I guess it happened and it turned out to be not as bad as i thought. The ending was a bit disappointing though, especially how the game just ends and you are left on The Farm with nothing. The game was overall really good actually a lot better than I expected after I saw the leaks. I hope there's another part because this was really good and I want a continuation.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was a 10 /10. My initial play through was on survival difficultly and with all the exploring i did it took me about 46 hours. I enjoyed every second of it. First i want to say I haven't even bothered watching any of the slander against last of us 2 from these R***** ass youtubers because its getting all these kids, who haven't even played the game giving such strong opinions they're starting to sound like the sjw **** they're "fighting against". In no way did the game make me gay or push any agenda on me other than to slaughter the **** out of everyone for revenge. abbys part of the story was amazing and it was an interesting point of view. spending the whole first half the game killing all these people only to learn who everyone is in the 2nd half was really interesting. and you learn who abby is and why she has spent like her whole life since her dad died bulking up just waiting for the day. so in a way she wanted and deserved her revenge more than ellie. so im happy the way it ended. i really dont know why everyone expected a happy ending like this whole series hasn't been video game game of thrones with the way people die and sad **** happens. IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE OR ENJOYED THE FIRST GAME PLAY THIS GAME.. The game play itself is improved in every way from the first game and as much as i love it i dont know if i could go back with all the missing features. my biggest and maybe only complaint is lack of multiplayer because the fist game had something special. with the new elements like jumping and prone i could see it being even crazier so hopefully it comes soon. this game is something everyone should experience its a true emotional roller coaster.… Expand

People disapointed for the most stupid things I ever heard in my life. "The intro is bad, the ending is bad, the story is bad...", the only answer to these people is: what game have you played? The intro was one of the greatest shock ever received, the story is fascinating, diverse and complex, and the ending gave the protagonist a shine oh hope for her future. What do you people wanted? To play as Joel for 20 hours and for him to die in the end saving Ellie? You all need to grow. Best game I played in years, without a doubt one of the best experience in the gaming world, at least in the top 10 of all time, and I don't meant for me, but in general.

It’s extremely controversial and the developers really want to F*** with you. You’re not supposed to agree with everything and sometimes it will make you truly be dumbfounded with what you think is right and wrong. I truly love the story because it will make you happy, hopeful, sad, and angry. If you’re someone who’s looking for a great story that isn’t meant to be what you expect, this is it. Also the gameplay is amazing and if you like assassins creed or Batman Arkham series this is a great one. Graphics are top of the line best I’ve seen. This game is not for the light hearted.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's been a few days since I finished this heart-wrenching, emotional assault of a game. I've noticed that the largest complaints of my fellow players focus on the story, which is, without doubt, one of the driving elements of the game. I would like to focus on that, so I'll get the other parts out of the way as quickly as possible.

    The gameplay is a tremendous improvement over the original. More open-ended segments avoid the pitfalls of the traditional Naughty Dog 'hallway shooter,' the gunplay feels more responsive, the melee hits a great balance of easy to learn/hard to master, and the combat all-around feels as tense as it should in a survival game. The graphics are stunning, and post-infection Seattle feels like one of the most fully-realized post-apocalyptic worlds ever created. The in-game artifacts contribute to awesome worldbuilding a create a truly spooky atmosphere. The acting is impeccable. The sound design and editing are flawless. Someone still plays Hotline Miami on the PS Vita. The list goes on. These elements alone make the game worth playing.

    And then there's the story.

    The best tl;dr I can give is that everyone will feel differently about it, and everyone should play it for themselves to determine where they fall. Love it or hate it, it's unquestionably provocative, and I applaud the writers for their willingness to take risks in such a widely-anticipated AAA game.

    Many of these risks pay off. Some of them don't. I think, like Red Dead Redemption 2, this game's reputation will change with a year of retrospect.

    There's a problem with, as a reviewer, calling anything a "poor story." This is a subjective qualification, but so is everything related to a review. I personally enjoyed the story, and I can see where people didn't enjoy it. I don't think, however, that calling a story "bad" because it evoked feelings of rage, anger, and sadness makes a story "bad" at all, especially if it intended to stir those emotions in the first place. Thus, in line with what I understand about criticism, the far more productive question is: "does this game succeed at what it's trying to do?" The Last of Us 2, for the most part, does succeed, but not quite as well as its predecessor.

    The Last of Us, as a game, basically caught lightning in a bottle. It brought life and humanity to a dead and dehumanized world by exploring the father-daughter relationship between Ellie and Joel. From the game's opening moments, we empathize with Joel and his loss, which contributes to and grounds the remarkable ambiguity of the game's all-time-classic ending. By balancing love and hate, it had a perfect balance of ups and downs.

    The Last of Us 2 is a relentless downer. The first game thematically focused on unconditional love and how that's both wonderful and sometimes downright horrifying. The second game is a revenge tale through and through. In the end, it tries to teach us that empathy is the most human characteristic we have. There are some truly powerful moments that capture what we're capable of when we forget that the people we hurt are human, just like us. It hurts to be confronted by it so brutally.

    The biggest criticisms I've seen relate to "plot holes," "poor writing," and "poor characterization," all of which are terms that (no offense) people most often throw around to try to validate their feelings without doing consistent logical work. These also happen to be non-issues that, when overly explicated, completely undermine the artistic merit and intrinsic value of something being criticized. None of the characters in TLOU2 remain static. The dialogue is fluid and at times mind-blowingly good (I've tried to write dialogue--it's not easy!). And plot holes? I'll just encourage you to google "film crit hulk plot holes" and point out that they're not as huge a deal as you think. I digress. There are many moments throughout where the game succeeds incredibly at making the player feel what it wants the player to feel. If the general response is any indication, though, it just barely misses the mark. I don't think we spend enough time with Abby to care about her in the ways that the writers wanted us to. What makes this statement interesting, though, is the fact that Abby's segment is nearly as long as the entire first game.

    The first game had an unforgettable cold open, and that's a big part of where the first game succeeded in its opening minutes with Joel. I think this game would have benefitted from placing us in control of Abby's first two flashback sequences from the start. Instead, we get placed in the shoes of a mystery character, and it doesn't do much for the tension during Ellie's segment. Abby also never reveals her core motivation to Ellie, which undermines what should have been her character's catharsis during the story's climax. Purposefully withheld information doesn't drive a story forward, and I'd say that's TLOU2's biggest flaw.

    And yet I still loved it, and that's that.    … Expand

    I understand this game was divisive, but for me personally it might just be my favorite game I've ever experienced.

The first game was one of my favorites for the same reason, but the sequel takes it a further. The gameplay is excellent, the characters feel real, and the world the game presents is a brutal reflection of just how low humanity can sink when we are pushed to our extreme limits. There is a lot of symbolism and story elements to dissect that will have fans talking for years, and for me that's a sign of some truly effective artistry. I understand why some fans are upset, but I truly do believe after some more time has passed people will understand what this game set out to do and just how excellent it is when you really allow it to be.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starting with the gameplay, was actually so good, the IA from enemies was quite strange in some situations, but normally was decent and very well done.

    Graphically it's 10/10, new generation graphics and big improvement from The Last of Us 1. The animations were so good and very detailed.

    About the story goes well until it reaches a point that becomes very long until the end. The game should have ended so much before, this doesn't mean is bad but the game should be shorter.

    The final, well, I personally not liked at all, the real final should be in the Ellie vs Abby on the theatre when Abby lets Ellie and Dina lives. After that Ellie still wants revenge so years later he goes back to kill Abby in Santa Barbara. Again nobody dies, this time Ellie spares Abby's life, it's not logical at all but can be accepted because Ellie can forgive too.

    General conclusion: I really enjoyed the game, such a beautiful game, I don't give it a 10/10 for that too long story and ending that left me with a strange taste in my mouth.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's funny how a majority of the negative user reviews was written at the first two days, like if almost everyone who didn't like the game played 24h straight. Thats kinda ridiculous to me.

    But however i loved the game even though its probably not really the best game ever made but i reviewed it 10/10 to even out the score. I loved the story even though Joel died, and the ending to me was not really disappointing. I felt like it was better that Ellie finely after all these hours understood.

    The gameplay to me was like the first game but that really didn't mattered to me because i bought the game for the story. So to me this was a really good game and I will probably play it over again to aim for the platinum trophy.    … Expand

Sai da superficialidade e se arrisca humanizando os personagens com erros e falhas, porém faz isso de uma forma condizente e compreensível. Toda a gameplay te desperta emoções e sensações que os próprios personagens estão sentindo no momento e quando te mostram o "outro lado" dessa história, que você entende todas as motivações. Faz tudo isso de forma primorosa, com gráficos incríveis, expressões faciais que transmitem perfeitamente os sentimentos de cada personagem e conclusão excelente.

    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.
