    Non ho mai pensato che nella la old gen. io avrei dato un 10 ma questo gioco lo merita tutto perché è stupendo in tutti i punti di vista e ti invoglia a giocarlo e rigiocarlo anche 2 3 o 4 volte. Magari ci sarebbero alcuni bug grafici da fixare ma il gioco è appena uscito quindi ripongo fiducia nei confronti della Naughty dog

    but they destroyed everything i loved from the first game, this is supposed to be a sequel from an honorable game, but instead we got a trash Netflix interactive movie

    I enjoyed the game, but just a little little bit , what they did to the story, thats the only thing i hate, but a lot, i can't believe how they ruined everything the first game built, poor writing, the plot holes are **** up.

    Joel was like almost an Arthur Morgan to me, but atleast Arthur had a good death, but it still was a really sad for all the time you spent with Arthur (depending), if Joel had died like a hero or sacrificing for Ellie i wouldn't be annoyed, but if atleast you could beat the **** up out of Abby at the ending and stab her multiple times to revenge Joel, it would be a little better, but nope, Ellie let's her go... are you ****ing kidding me.

    Its a nice game, but the story is what ruined it all, the gameplay feels a little old, but still entertaining
    i honestly wouldn't reccomend it, but if you dont care about the story or the characters that made The Last Of Us be what it was before this sequel, maybe, just maybe you could try it out, but if thats what you loved about the first game, then stay away from this game.

    The second part of the game with Abby was absolutely infuriating. Why did you even bother to make this trash of a game? To hell with your SJW crap, I'll stick with better games like JRPGs. Atleast, Japan knows better than to include **** takes on their games. This has really left a bad taste on my mouth.

    7 years.. we‘ve waited 7 years only to be disappointed with your BS storytelling. You had 7 years to come up with the best story anyone could possibly come up with and this is the result. Shame on you ND. You did not just kill Joel in such a disrespectful manner, even the end was pathetic. Going to have to think more than twice now the next time before buying one more game from you guys.

    The game loses the entire point of the first game, killing off beloved characters and played more like a movie than an actual game. The self insert character that was based on the director of the game was also disrespectful, spitting on a beloved character making it feel like it was him spitting on the game, the characters everyone loved, and him disrespecting the fans of the game.

    Impressive graphics and ok combat but that's about all the positives. It's linear to the point where it's nearly on rails outside of combat - and sometimes even in combat.

    If you had some respect for its prequel then you will definitely avoid this one at any cost. Joel’s dead & it turns out that developers want the gamers to play as his Killer. It’s really sad that this game doesn’t really lives up to everyone’s expectations. This is by far the worst story ever said in the video game history.

Todas las noches me enfoco saber qué es lo que hice mal; lloro por las noches, cuando me ducho escucho música sad y la stalkeo en su facebook, instagram y tik tok. Ahora, cuando me compré un PS4 explícitamente para TLOU2 me salen con esta historia. Decepcionante.

    Almost 70% of the game is spent with a new character only to empathize with that character, but also the game with that character becomes very repetitive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Technical aspects: 8/10
    The game play is solid, but this is no action game, some people may find it slow and boring. It is basically the first game but a little bit more polished. The biggest improvements here are graphics (obviously) and level design. I liked that the enemy executions are varied (wish God of War had this many different executions).

    Story/writing: 2/10
    Too much plot induced stupidity, characters that were viewed as ruthless, intelligent and resourceful, commit mistakes and make ridiculous decisions just for plot advancing or to make the point the writers intended.

    Most characters are bland. All the new ones to be honest. Their gender and sexual preferences end being useless traits and are there just because.

    The story is dark and gritty just for the sake of it.

    The moral aspect of the story is shallow. Another revenge story that ends with "maybe violence is bad"?

    As they tried to shock the players and subvert expectations, they ended cutting Joel's screen time on the game, and since the main aspect of the story is Ellie and Joel relationship, the game became empty. They only interact meaningfully enough by flashbacks.

    Overall: 5/10
    Play this if you liked the game play and mechanics of the first game and want to experience some of the best graphics of the generation. Story-wise, as the continuation of the original, this game is bad.

This is nonsense, a game shouldn’t be tamed with left or right views but rather a good story that invokes a strong sense of attachment for the characters and their development. The anticipation for the sequel was subsequent from the good story telling of the first one. This is just ridiculous, whoever thought this plot was the best idea clearly has not learned from both Game of Thrones and Last Jedi. All of that talent wasted, you best believe I’m not buying Part III and I would like to play as either a female or male. By the way the only good parts of this game were the flashbacks.

    I've been a long term fan of Naughty Dog, starting off with the first Uncharted game - I was absolutely hooked. Every single game since then, in my opinion has been fantastic.

    My viewpoint for this review is based on my "love" for the original. It was a truly beautiful, yet heart wrenching game that had so many nuanced motifs in almost every scene. The character development which had Joel (who just lost his daughter) and Ellie, who to begin with really did not like each other, develop that maternal bond. That is why the Last of Us was so successful, the story.

    I've not yet completed The Last of Us 2, however I've wasted £50 and around 15 hours of my life on it. Things that I will never get back.

    My only advice is; if the reason that you loved the first game so much is to do with the story, then this game is honestly a spit in the face. I'm at a loss for words...

    My only question is, why?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am putting a 7 and that's a favour so i will not go more down. I respect the hard work they put in this game however putting a hard work into something doesnt necessarily mean its gonna be good.
    The game is absolutely amazing in terms of acting graphics gameplay rich environment that doesnt let you to get bored of it and also the dismemberment! Woo boy that was cool and satisfying but the story is something that bothered me.
    I played the game very cautiously and NO it's not about how Joel died, its not about Abby playing half the game with her its about HOW joel dies and it's not because of the golf club it's about (YO I AM TOMMY THIS IS JOEL) to a stranger they know **** about and followed like sheeps. Before you say to me the excuse Neil Druckmann said about the 4 years of Joel's been soft and love changed him... No man,20 years of killing and interacting with ****ty people 4 years of softness cannot erase this brutality! It just cant.Maybe in the world of Neil but I didnt like it simple as that.
    Basically Joel did ****ty things to survive with Tommy as well and we more clearly see it in Tlou 2 with Tommy.Next is about Abby, I give 0 Fs about her backstory and how to play a mini game with a bow so at the end Owen will show me his Christmas surprise. I dont also give a damn about the flash backs with owen and Abby been younger and exploring the aquarium. If you want to make her sympathetic try harder because that wasnt the way and made the game boring in this. And of course I'm against the sexual scene with Owen, it was unnecessary and it's a god damn game, not a porn

    Now about something people probably will get mad about. Homosexuality....BRUH LIKE WTF
    we know they are people we know they have rights we know they can do whatever they want in their lives but promoting it so much in this game made me puke! Book stores with full of homosexual books, Gay flags on the road and the WORST AND FOR MOST Lev/Lilly is a transexual!!! You play50%of abbys story protecting a women who became a guy and the reason you protecting her/him is because his Cult is against it! Why THIS SHOULD BE THE REASON OF THE CHASE ???why they didnt chase her cause she did something really bad to her cult disrespecting them! Dont tell me "this is the reason"Oh yeah by the way I am not homophobic , I appreciate and respect all opinions people have and they can choose their way of belief and also I have gay people as friends and I have 0 problem with them .Putting it in a game like this and promoting it like theres no tomorrow...... that's a big nono for me and it shows a huge amount of insecurity for the person who wanted so much to put this stuff inside!.It feels like Neil Druckmann says to me "Become gay you have to" and I felt uncomfortable as it's against my beliefs and this is why we dont put things like that in a game. Escape reality play games they say. And for the finale is the ending. I had no problem Ellie not killing Abby but the whole thing I forgive you etc.. Revenge is bad is a bit cliche but it was cool, all I am saying is that they could have done it better. Seen Joel at the end with Ellie 1 day before he dies was amazing and how it got connected.Thats MY opinion which i dont wait everyone to agree with but hey this is why theres a comment section and rating from your own perspective! All opinions are respected just remember....The truth is different for everyone but the objective truth is common for anybody.

    This game was just eh. The plotline was absolutely terrible it was just not what we wanted. We wanted more Joel and Ellie. We wanted to see how the story would continue after Joel lied to Ellie.

But no **** that. Let’s just skip 5 years ahead and introduce a bunch of characters that we don’t care about. I found myself liking the game at the beginning but overtime it felt boring. They focused on too much story and not enough gameplay. In the first game you are running around as you try to flee for help which is a great introduction and then after that you go into this huge fight. But in the last of us part 2 the first 2 hours is just all story and barely any action. There was some really cool scenes and Joel making a dad joke made me smile so much, but besides that it was just eh... This game is just okay it’s not as bad as everyone is saying it is just mediocre. A huge wasted opportunity and a huge disappointment especially since it was from naughty dog. (Spoiler) also they killed ****ing Joel. When that happened it was like my heart was split into two. He meant so much to me and was such a good character. But they just decided to kill him off for the sake of a plot... If they wanted to kill someone off maybe make it Dina or Tommy. That would’ve been way better than killing Joel. I would’ve loved to see Joel and Ellie team up again and travel around searching for the killer of Dina and Tommy. I just have no interest of doing it with Dina and Ellie. One of my favorite parts of the last of us was the amazing father and daughter relationship between Ellie and Joel. But in conclusion this game is just okay it’s kinda fun but I ****ing hate naughty dog for killing Joel. If they do make a last of us part 3 it should just be **** the last of us 2 and completely ignore that the game existed and continue from where the last of us part 1 ended. I love the last of us so much and to see this game turn out like this just kills me. Expand

    Writers should apologize to everyone else who's worked in this game, because it looks amazing and the VAs are phenomenal. Unfortunately the convuluted story, and the pseudo-sophisticated way they chose to tell it, drags it back. A lot.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a terribly written revenge story with bland new characters and an even worse ending preach an impossible to reach goal.
    Abby is not a good character. We are expected to care about her and her struggle, but the game opens up with her killing Joel and hides the reason behind it for half the game. We cannot relate to such a character when her first action is killing an already beloved and established character. From the beginning she is marked as JOEL'S KILLER.
    My biggest grievance with this game is Ellie's quest for revenge. She starts off the journey to find and exact justice on Abby, and to her credit, she does a pretty good job of tearing her way through Abby's friends and people just to get to Abby. After she finally reaches Abby who has hurt Ellie and her friends and killed 2 of her friends by now, Ellie is on the verge of killing her only to have an unrelated flashback of Joel and decides to spare her because all of a sudden killing is wrong and will get you nowhere...... that's the stupidest reason ever! She kills hundred of people to reach Abby and decides to let her live for no reason. The game tries to paint this as a humanizing moment but fails on the account that during the entire game we are forced to kill hundreds of people in order to even progress through to the end.

    This game is NOT a 0 but ffs it is NOT a 8 either. Just the story and characters development alone is enough to take off 3 points.

    This is why fans are angry, this effin **** of a story and a treatment of characters we got to know in the last game.
    For what? a tumbler story? Are you serious? This is what we got? Are you insane?

    I will not spoil anything but DO NOT buy this game.
    The first one ended well enough, this just trashes everything.
    Talk about dumpster fire.

    Anyone with power to stop this game, anyone with ANY say about this game failed.
    This will not go over well with fans, this WILL not end up with a good relationship with the fans.
    This will NOT help you sell games in the future.

    Now F*** off and ffs do not listen to people with an agenda behind their stories.

    Trash from start to end.
    To be honest the game aint bad, its actually good.
    The problem is how the story and how it handles everything.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Péssimo enredo e história. A lacrosfera esta tendo orgasmos com seu novo referencial, feito de significado. Um retrato dos níveis de inteligência atuais.

    Explicando. (É IMPORTANTE, leia!)

    A inteligência humana é composta por 3 pilares.1- Icone, 2- Significado, 3-Referencial. Para você ser inteligente de fato, precisa estar operando estes 3 pilares em harmonia e de forma saudável. 1- Ícone: É a palavra em si, seja ela escrita ou falada. Sem nada atrelada à ela. Um exemplo: Nutella.

    2- Significado: É tudo aquilo que vem em sua mente com a palavra Nutella. Pode ser um doce muito gostoso. Ou uma geração fraca e chorona.

    3- Referencial: É aquilo que esta na realidade. Recebe o nome do ícone, e justifica o significado atrelado à ele. Ou seja, o Objeto. Exemplo: um pote de Nutella na sua cozinha ou no mercado. Ou também pode ser aquele garoto fraco e chorão.

    Outro exemplo rapidão.

    1-Icone; Arma

    2-Significado: Defesa/Morte/Acidente/Direito

    3-Referencial: Uma arma de fogo de fato. O objeto que você segura. Entenderam? Pois bem. Vamos ao TLOUS2. A lacrolandia adora dizer que esta lutando contra o ódio. Ódio é o Ícone, palavra sozinha. O significado de ódio, para os Lefts, é tudo aquilo que discorda da sua opinião. Afinal, ele acreditam ser a encarnação do bem. Mas e o referencial, cade?

    Tipo, quando você anda pelo mundo real, o que você é a turma da lacrolandia destilando ódio contra pessoas que só estão cuidando da própria vida. O Referencial da realidade, é que os Lacradores dizem defender minorias, de pessoas que não ligam para se você é, ou não é, de minoria alguma. Sendo assim, não ha referencial para justificar a existência dos Lacradores, e nem que eles são do "Bem". Pelo contrário. O referencial mostra o oposto. Mas como os lacradores resolvem isso? Usando uma Narrativa. O referencial é a narrativa do jogo. Mas tem um problema aí, o que acontece no jogo não é referencial. Ele é significado. Portanto isso deixa o esquerdista com 2 pilares de inteligência, e não 3. Em resumo, a Lacrolandia troca Referencial por Significado, perdendo completamente o contato com a realidade.

    Espero que tenham gostado da explicação. Deu mó trabalho fazer. Paz. ✌️

    To make the player feels even more connect to Abby and feel good about her, he would need to have a lot of backstory Before Joels death to make it durable and feel both sides Ellie and Abby

    The graphics are one of the best graphics i ever seen in a game even with Base Ps4 10/10

    Gameplay wise is fun and very cinematic making encounters feels not forced and surprising but feels a lot like the first one 7/10

    Exploration and looting feels fun and real 8/10

    But Story wise.....5(10

    So...6/10

Just go watch some episodes on youtube, decide for yourself and then wait untill it's into the 15 dollars range or buy it 2nd hand because that's what it deserves because that's what it is worth.

Llegar al día 4 para que la historia llegue a su clímax y tener que volver al día 1 para ver la contrahistoria de Abby. Por otra parte me parece que sino se hubiera tomado este camino no hubiéramos empatizado tanto con Abby y otros personajes secundarios como Nora, Mel, Alice { :( }...
    Un final muy acertado para el mensaje que realmente quiere mandar el juego. Espero que si en un futuro se apuesta por una Parte III se deje atrás la historia de Ellie y Joel y se apueste únicamente por la de Abby y Los Luciérnagas.va

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion a sequel has always been a letdown compared to the first; and I was right again. The story isn't as dwelling as the original game, it felt more forced. Killing the main character Joel in this way - pretty cheap - after playing as Abby felt wrong. Growing with the original two characters from the first game, then having forced a nobody (Abby) to play as, didn't fit at all. Apart from those choices, the game is incredible with smooth gameplay and environmental design in both world, OST and graphics. Also, have we all forgotten Ellie was lesbian since Left Behind DLC? This game gets a rating of 6, mainly when comparing to what could have been (like the original). Expand

    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.
