    Non capisco veramente, è the last of us. Cosa bisogna potere volere di più? Il 90% delle critiche sul gioco sono personali e quindi non condizionano il gioco che di per sé, continua una storia che persino a me risultava difficile da continuare. Tutti quelli che lo hanno finito in poco tempo sono anche quelli che i giochi non se li godono

    Try it for yourself and take the game as it is. A lot of the negative reviews I’ve seen of the game focus primarily around the story or “agendas” in which Naughty Dog is pushing. This game will challenge you to think as well as challenge some pre-conceived notions you didn’t even know you had about the world. I’d challenge you to play this game without becoming polarized.

    Just like the first game, easily one of the best ever made. If you don’t like this game because you don’t like the fact that the lead is a gay women, then you are a moron. Even if you don’t like the story it is still and absolute masterpiece of game making. Nothing really comes close to the quality and detail involved in making this game. Simply outstanding from start to finish.

    This game was Simply just boring. I can appreciate the great graphics and superb soundtrack but the story and the rest of the game is just boring.

    The most disappointing thing is that this game could have been so good but something weird and wacky happened to Naughty Dog and now we got this mess.

    Game may have flaws in the story department but it is a solid production of a game, I'd give it a 7/8 normally but since there are so many 0s (unreasonable) I'll give a 10 to balance it out.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, if you want to make a game that "is about revenge", WHY THE HELL IS THERE NO REVENGE ?! Ellie should have killed Abby.

    To continue, the entire part of Abby is boring and I swear by everything that when I controlled Ellie (if only for a short time since she was in the end) I cried that I could stop controlling Abby. It seems good to me that they wanted to put her as a playable persona to empathize with her (I don't know if I'm the only one who has never done it), but we are half or even more of the game controlling her.

    And the last thing I wanted to emphasize for the bad part, Joel in the first game was someone smart, cautious ... But in this game it is like: "Oh ok, I'm going to go to this place that I don't meet with people who I don't know who They are and when I arrive I will not stop stressing that I am Joel, JOEL JOEL JOEL" It seems good to me that they want to kill the character, but more importantly. I know that their intention was to make the game more crude and such, but the only thing they achieve is that you stay with an idiot face looking at the screen. The problem is that we have been sold the game for what it is not.

    For the playable part nothing to comment except that it is very good, for a 9/10. The problem with this game is its suspenseful story, and in The Last of us the MOST IMPORTANT thing is the story.

    I have not put something lower than five because I think it is good that there is diversity (not like other people) and because except for resounding history, it is a good game.    … Expand

    Я сейчас покажу насилие с обоих сторон в такой мерзкой реалистичной подаче что в конце вы придете в выводам, что месть это неправильно, что насилие это плохо, что насилие порождает насилие и создает бесконечный цикл. Говоришь весело тебе бегать и мочить всех в ГТА? Ну а тут ты будешь видеть как твой персонаж реалистично булькает кровью, как кстати и ты будешь булькать если попробуешь поиграть в ГТА в реале. Значит в фильмах у злодеев маловато мотивации? Ну а тут всё перевернуется с ног на голову и антагонист который вначале зверски убивает человека клюшкой станет протоганистом, а белый и пушистый персонаж, которому уже дважды подарили жизнь, будет заставлять её сражаться, шантажирую смертью подростка, а ты который поначалу ненавидел антагониста, и игру за то что приходится играть за женщину Халка, в конце видя как она уже худая и изможденная отказывается от насилия, захочешь чтобы она осталась жива.

    Don't buy no matter what, because the game intends to install toxic ideas in your brain: I am from the Middle-east and this game encourages themes That I find unacceptable and must be forbidden. Plus this game has butchered what the last game stood for, and failed in storytelling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing graphics and game play. Besides, the storytelling is vague. I understand what the ending is trying to tell the players but there are a lot of unclear interaction between Dina and Ellie. I can't feel their emotional from the way they interact with each other. Also, Joel shouldn't deserve that way, there are undoubtedly other options available. I wish there will be part 3 for this game, but the chance is very low. I am looking forward to see improvement, if there is sequel for this game, So, the only game that i was expecting to play in my entire life so badly had turned into dust.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When it comes to The Last of Us 2, there is so much I like. The music of course is just as good as the first, the gameplay has improved significantly with some of the best enemy AI I've seen, perfectly crafted for the hide-and-seek arena-style combat the game sets you up in. The graphics are genuinely perfect for me and I can think of a single game that looks nearly as good as this game. The story starts off great and really gets you into the mindset of revenge and then, by the end, it just fell short in a lot of ways. The character swap from Ellie to Abby might've been good for a sequel or side story but you spend almost half the entire game playing as Abby, focusing on a completely different story that doesn't correlate with the first half of the game in the slightest. It is like we were watching a movie and halfway through someone got up, turned it off, and put on another film. It is jarring and I never really got over the switch, always thinking in the back of my head 'when am I getting back to Ellie'. It was really frustrating. Along with that, it hurt the gameplay because it cutout almost an entire enemy faction from the game for the rest of it. The differences between the Seraphites and the WLFs were the WLFs had better weapons and were more coordinated and loud, whereas the Seraphites were slow and methodical, hiding in the shadows from you to strike when you weren't looking. Now you just fought the cult. Additionally, it didn't even take advantage much being with a group as you really were cutoff from the rest of the WLF for a majority of it. I think this was a huge mistake and the biggest annoyance for me. Additionally, I think the ending not being a choice really was a true and honest mistake, and I almost feel like they didn't let you choose because they wanted to sequel bait. When it comes to the level design it is fantastic, but dear god in comparison to the first game a lot didn't make sense. In the first game, you spent so much time traveling places, and it showed how difficult it would be to travel. In this game everyone can magically teleport halfway across the country with ease and never have any issues on the way, and it ends up making you hate the Seattle location because you keep on seeing the same stuff over and over and over. Which is a shame, because there are so many interesting areas and they are surprisingly large to let you explore, but like, you go to the aquarium in this game six or seven times. It is simply too much. I would've wanted more of Jackson, or maybe a city/town on the way, or just some other location like how the first game had. The best aspect of the game though was the combat. I don't understand people who say it was exactly the same. It is the same base because, well, this is a sequel. It is like getting mad at Mario for still mainly being about jumping. But the differences were the changes to your toolset. Enemies are much smarter which lets you be smarter in baiting them out and planning your attacks, while also finding their patterns. The game letting you get back into stealth means that you can constantly jump out, attack, and plan your escape to hide and jump out again. If this game had the first game's story and location variety, I wouldn't need another game ever again because of how fun and creative you could be with the game's combat. But, sadly, that isn't the case, and I hope if they return to The Last of Us they take the best aspects from this game and the last one to create a truly wonderful experience.… Expand

    I have an idea, how about the next Uncharted, feel free to kill off the entire cast of characters, because bad guys have feelings too!

    You have taken what has made the first game so great; good story and characters that you can become invested in, and totally removed it.

    Now you make the returning characters dull, uninspiring and introduce us to new characters that we hate to play, force us to play them and do your best to remove any emotional attachment to the main characters in the first game.

    I will give you credit however, you did get an emotional response from gamers, for me it was pretty much all negative, you have ruined this series for myself and many other gamers.

    The real world already has enough bad crap in it, I play games to escape some of that and have fun, you have taken that away from me in this game. This game can have the best graphics and gameplay on the ps4, but without a good story and characters, its not a good game.

    Tommy Boy Quote. “I could take a crap in a box and stamp a guarantee on it, but all it would be is a guarrenteed box of crap”

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game looks amazing especially if playing in HDR the looks and the attention to detail everything thats visuall within the game looks amazing and ND nails it here. But lets beat around the bush this game hurts through sorrow and hate the same that goes through each and every one of our minds that has played this game the way Joel died, the way Ellie and others went after the WLF to avenge Joel and the journey that has left Ellie completely broken, alone and lost for me it definitely worries me what will happen to all the characters, Dina and JJ what will happen to Ellie and this is my opinion what will happen to Abby and Lev. But let's get down to it who's right and who's wrong Joel for killing abbys dad in the first game or Abby for killing Joel in the second game that's lost me because if Joel didn't have killed abbys dad they wouldn't have been this game but that fact Joel cared for Ellie in let's face it a bad decaying world and left Joel no choice in saving her if the fireflies weren't a bunch of **** to Joel in the first game this wouldn't of happen. Joel did what needed to be done. On the other hand, Abby killing Joel was it truly down to the death of her dad or was it that Joel took the cure from everyone leading to the fireflies been killed throughout the story because they hyped up that they would be a possible cure meaning Ellie and Joel stopping that making everyone think that the fireflies were lying but technically they weren't and dying for it would scare any folk including Abby that's why I think in my opinion its split down the middle did Joel deserve to die come from a mentality opinion, yeah kind of he did piss a lot of people off and unfortunately it caught up to him and he died but did he deserve what happened to him in that basement no not at all Abby's dads death was quick but Joels wasn't it was long and painful with the shotgun to the knee and golf club. Joel and Tommy saved Abby from the infected if it wasn't for them she would have been dead it was in that estate it was life or death rule one of surviving don't tell random people your names its a sign of weakness and Abby clicked on straight away it's him he killed him therefore, she did what had to be done. I had mixed emotions about this game from Anger from the plot of the game to happy when you get to see Joel and Ellie have some time together with the museum being one of the coolest parts of all the flashbacks being and true fan of dinosaurs and space at a young age. The fact you're constantly switched between both Ellie and Abby in the game was night and day especially the one after one in the theatre scenes myself and surly millions of more was like huh? I get it ND was making Abby lost like Ellie at the end that's why I think at the end of all this everyone loses. Ellie lost Joel and others along the Journey sparking her rage and Abby the same way Losing her Dad most likely her Firefly friends that most likely died due to the while cure to her WLF friends that Ellie and Tommy killed to her and Lev getting captured. In this games time nobody wins and it's cruel and unforgiving but that's how it is survival of the fittest and all. Did I enjoy it, in the end, yes and no the emotional sides yes ill admit it some stuff in this game hit me hard but how the story turns out just really didn't cut it just because I've seen way too many revenge plots in games and they all lead down a similar world how the hell is ND going to end up finishing this story I have no idea.… Expand

Theres so many details that fit the story and make it all work. I feel had there not been leaks this game would be sitting at a high score. This game is dark. Not grotesque but depressingly dark, with an ending that has a similar tone as the first game. What keeps this at an 8 are the chapters i felt were too long to get a storypoint across. The game felt a little too long and the last fight was drug out which made it seem corny afterwards.… Expand

    TLOU was a great walking simulator with an incredible story, the gameplay was meh but the story made up for any shortcomings.

    The game is great, but not a masterpiece. Do not read reviews at all, everyone raised a revolt without passing, and most likely without buying the game. Filled up with bad ratings, not knowing the whole story, for those who still pass the game, or passed, the game will like it. I am sure in the future the game's rating will increase to at least 7, but how long it will take is unknown.

    Tengo 3 problemas con la historia/guión de éste juego, lo jugue más o menos por 8 a 10 horas osea que no lo terminé, porque no pude hacerlo.
    1. La muerte de Joel me pareció muy forzada, anticlimatica y tonta por la forma en la que Joel va a una casa rodeado de personas que no conoce, cosa que en pasado jamás haría.
    2. Todos los nuevos personajes carecen de desarrollo, son personajes de plastico, con 0 carisma, 0 personalidad, no solo son eso, pero tambien son aburridos.
    3. La historia pareciera que no tiene un rumbo, vas vagando por ahí sin entender tu proposito y la mayor parte del tiempo es pura depresión, nada de lo que puedas aferrarte y decir "Vale la pena seguir luchando para sobrevivir en este mundo", y si realmente no vale la pena seguir viviendo en ese mundo, no sé para que seguir jugando, la verdad.

    Las cosas positivas del juego son puros factores tecnicos, y como dibujante realmente me hace sentir mal por toda esa gente que trabajó en este juego y que ahora estan recibiendo duras criticas, una pena, pero para mi son merecidas las criticas, pero espero que los artistas de éste juego puedan encontrar otra franquicia para triunfar, porque hicieron un trabajo impecable en el arte y las mecanicas del juego.

    Las compañías de videojuegos tienen que entender las razones por las cuales sus juegos son exitosos antes de hacer una secuela, para eso estan las criticas y deberían leer más a los jugadores, lamentablemente para mi, éste juego ya no tiene salvación y de todo corazón le digo a la gente, si les gustó el primer juego, no compren éste, solo les va a romper el corazón.

    Gráficos 8/10: De lo mejor que vas a encontrar en un juego de ps4, los detalles de las fisicas y la ambientación son impresionantes, muy bien hecho. Menos el salto, es increíblemente malo el salto en este juego, hasta hubiese preferido que no lo pusieran.
    Personajes 2/10: Ni siquiera los personajes de la primera entrega me gustaron en su forma de actuar en esta secuela, ni que decir los nuevos personajes, todo mal.
    Historia 1/10: Hasta donde jugué yo, incoherente, tonta y aburrida, de las peores historías que haya jugado en un videojuego triple A
    Banda sonora 6/10: Personalmente no es mi banda sonora favorita, no es mala, pero personalmente no me gusta, está regular.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Over all those issues, I’d like to rate this game 10 out of 10. I loved to be Ellie and follow her emotions. Users can find lots of scenes that reminds them about the part1&dlc. The graphics&guitar sound was awesome. Also the enemy’s AI(with various action while searching&fighting)and fighting actions were cool. Increased useable weapons were interesting. Also while the adventure time, users can do lot more actions (like using rope, jumping around, and etc.) than we did in part1. The idea this game wants to tell us about was great. Playing this game with some open-minded heart will give you the best experience.



    — SPOILER ALERT FROM THIS PART—



    I understand why people get mad about the story. Joel’s death made them not just “angry”, but more. Just like Ellie did. It was definitely directors’ mistake that they didn’t realize how much people do care about Joel and how much they’ll gonna be frustrated. Directors should’ve notice that user’s anger won’t lead them to “be Ellie”, but lead them to stop the game and score the lowest. But I can also understand why the story happened like that. I didn’t searched about the leaks, so during the playtime was the time when I knew Joel’s gonna be die. The sadness, anger, frustration, and all of my emotions... while I was looking on Ellie’s face... it made me to be her. But yeah, if I’d heard about the leak(that Joel gonna die, and not just dying, but with a golf club.), I won’t be able to enjoy the game like i’m doing now. I’ll start the game with full of anger about Joel’s fate and thinking about this game is a total **** or I’ll just enjoy the part1 over and over, not buying this game, making my own story of Joel&Ellie. I totally understand why users are so upset about this game, but I also think that if there wasn’t the leak, user’s score won’t be that low. Without a prejudice, people might be angry(with the same rage as now) but also they could be able to immerse themselves in a story. By linking themselves with Ellie, by being her.

    About the ending, I totally agree with the directors. Make Ellie kill Abby, just like the users wanted to, but then what? Will the revenge make Ellie feel better? Is that really an answer? There was always an “unusual” endings in this series. In part1, Joel’s selfish decision was the ending(to say in a bad way). But why not this time? I loved the idea what this game wanted to say. It’s painful thing to accept that idea, but I did.

    I’m Korean, so I don’t know how international users think about LGBTQ+ and any other issues in this game, but I do know that it made some of Korean users get mad. But is that really a thing to be mad just because you can’t shoot Jewish thing, main character is a gay, and the Queer flag is in the game... Like, for REAL?? I think some angers go to the wrong way, not make them to be Ellie but be some socially-mentally immature people. It can’t be a reason or an excuse to rate this game low. I think the game made a society where we are living right now. Sure there’s no infected, but there’s various people living with us. Some users should see the character/people not as their identity, but just as a human.

    The gameplay was great just as I wrote it in the intro. I hope people could see this game not with some colored glasses.    … Expand

E as coisas que o diretor da Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann, escolheu colocar no jogo foram completamente erradas, e destruiu a experiencia de quem jogou o primeiro e se tornou fã. Não agrada nem mesmo os que estão jogando The Last of Us pela primeira vez. Mataram Joel de forma gratuita e ofensiva, o diretor inclusive colocou um personagem igual a si próprio cuspindo no Joel.

    Characters decisions frequently making no sense and gratuitous violence. That is what makes the storyline pretty immature to me. Honestly the only reason I got to the end of this game was because of how good the first one was. I just needed to get closure. Gameplay was dull and repetitive. Graphics and sound is just what you would expect from a game with that budget.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What an experience!!! I can understand some other reviews as this game doesn't take the same direction as the first where you only see what happens from Ellie and Joel’s perspective. This game makes you see the story from both sides which leaves you questioning the actions that you have taken previously in the game.
    The game play is amazing as well as the acting and I believe the story has been made in a way that makes it divisive so you feel either love or hate towards the game itself.
    The AI in the game has also been greatly improved over the first game where enemies (especially the infected) are relentless and if you are not quick enough you will take a lot of damage or get yourself killed.
    At the end of it all it leaves you wondering whether it was all worth it especially when you see what it cost Ellie which ultimately left me feeling a little empty after finishing the game as it leaves you without any closure or hope.
    In conclusion I feel this game is on a different level to the first game which if you look at it the same way you did on the first one you may not like how it turns out.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know many people will say you're an idiot, You're not a real gamer whatever, but I think that people just hate the game because of the Death of Joel and The Final Part and just because of that they said it is a waste of money. So let's recap what happens in the game:
    Abby wants to kill Joel because he killed her dad when Joel saved Ellie in the final part of the past game, so Ellie goes after her for revenge, but in the end, Ellie forgives her and let her go.
    The Main Problem: Joel's Death
    I'm really sure that many people didn't even play the game, they just saw the death of Joel and threw the disk like a frisbee. a lot of people say: "why the hell does Joel would go inside the cabin and said his name, a very strong detail that many of you didn't notice was that Joel Changed, he is not the same person he was after Sarah's death, and you can really notice this at the beginning of the game, Joel says to Ellie a joke and sings to her, the mercenary Joel would never say a joke and less sing.
    Ellie really changed Joel. and maybe it was just me or maybe there were a few people that thought that Joel Would die in this game, I thought that and i agree with you he deserved a better death but what characters in The Last of Us had a glorious death, none.
    Another valuable point than again many people didn't even care was the fact that the relationship between Ellie and Joel changed after Joel said to Ellie the truth about he did their relationship broke and you may say Ellie it is so ungrateful. but when Ellie saw how the guys that left Jackson ended she maybe thought that if the fireflies made the cure this wouldn't happen, that she could change that, and when Joel said to her the truth she broke.
    and now the Finale.
    Like the director said this game was about to empathize that's why you control Abby in the game. If you think this through, Joel would do the same if Ellie or Tommy were the ones that are dead in the game. Joel would Hunt that person and kill him just like Abby did to Joel Hunt Him and Kill him, and when I was playing the final Part I didn't want to kill Abby.
    So to Resume because I still don't know how to explain this in the way I want. The Last of Us Part II
    It is a good game, of course, it has their mistakes and script holes but you have to consider ALL THE GAME TO MAKE A FINAL DECISION not just play until the part where they kill Joel and cut the disk    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
