    Well I don't know about the perfect scores and 10s, but the only 10 here is the graphics. The story is extremely disappointing and writing is horrible. It's like I'm watching a B-Grade teenage flick. They ruined the old characters and the new ones are not interesting. The only good moments were from the bonding between Joel and Ellie. All in all a very disappointing experience for a game from ND.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Scrivere una recensione per questo gioco é molto difficile. Più difficile di qualunque altro gioco perché questo The last of us parte II riesce a regalarti emozioni che prima d'ora non avevo mai provato giocando ad un videogioco. Ma devo provarci, provare ad essere oggettivo conservando comunque un po' di soggettività. Solo l'aspetto tecnico lascia a bocca aperta e sembrerebbe essere il migliore della generazione (e fa ridere il fatto che sia su Ps4). I paesaggi sono incredibili e le animazioni rivoluzionarie. Per non parlare poi delle musiche (Gustavo ci sa fare). Per quanto riguarda il gameplay sono riusciti a mantenere la base del primo evolvendola esponenzialmente. In questo gioco ci sono infatti molte più possibilità di approccio al nemico, anche solo la parte stealth dall'essere semplicemente il soffocare gente del primo capitolo si é evoluta aggiungendo molte più possibilità tra cui tutte le armi silenziate e l'erba alta e bassa (che comunque trattandosi di un gioco realistico non copre integralmente). Inoltre le mappe sono molto più grandi e rifinite. Muoversi con Ellie é molto più divertente (per via del salto e altre possibilità di interazioni ambientali) e l'intelligenza artificiale é talmente ben fatta da far sentire l'odore di next gen. Parliamo infine della storia facendo spoiler. La trama di questo gioco é esattamente come il primo... semplicissima. E allora perché entrambi i titoli ci fanno emozionare così tanto? Per la narrazione e i personaggi. Da una semplice storia di vendetta infatti Naughty dog é riuscita a tirar fuori una storia profonda e matura come poche altre prima d'ora. Il gioco é infatti pieno zeppo di scene che ti fanno rabbrividire. Prima fra tutte la morte di Joel, la scena per cui molti utenti hanno distrutto il gioco. Perché é stato così? Forse semplicemente per la morte di Joel? Anche, ma non solo. Il motivo é sopratutto il modo in cui é avvenuta, attraverso una vera e propria tortura. Tutti appena l'abbiamo vista volevamo uccidere Abby, la genialità di Naughty Dog é stata proprio farci diventare Abby, all'inizio nessuno voleva, nessuno voleva essere l'assassino di Joel, eppure, dopo alcune ore ti appassioni profondamente alla sua storia e ai suoi amici ed inizi a dubitare delle azioni di Ellie. E poi pensateci... davvero preferivate la morte di Dina (come tutti ipotizzavamo dai trailer)? Non avrebbe avuto molto senso, far morire un personaggio che neanche conoscevamo e far girare tutto intorno a quello. Non sarebbe stata una motivazione altrettanto forte per farci andare avanti.
    Una delle cose che più ho apprezzato del gioco sono i flashback di Joel, queste scene, così spenzierate, sono la chiave del gioco, sopratutto quella finale, che trasforma tutto il gioco in una storia sul perdono e non sulla vendetta. Il finale per me é perfetto, nient'altro da aggiungere. Insomma, per riassumere tutta la recensione in poche parole: "le persone non erano pronte" 10/10.    … Expand

    They shat on the characters and ruined the story. Then added gay stuff so they can blame homophobia for bad reviews.

    1. Maker side(devs, distributions, and all partakers) gives money friendly medium and someone called "critic"(and I just want to call them "Swindler side") who are positive to their money.

    2. Swindler side writes critic that are very positive to bad game with no playing whole game.

    3. When all underwriting session is over, poor game received highly overrated metascore like 95.

    4. Lastly, if faithful worshiper who loves certain game series zealously and someone who are absorbed in PC deeply provide support that game, poor game will be a masterpiece.

    As all you can see, this result is TLoU2.

    Story? ruined. bunch of **** with being contaminated PC.
    The Last of Us 1 shows us how stereo typed-zombie games become well-made game with splendid story. We got touched through universality related humanism and paternal love like what Joel gives Eille under desperate situation.

    --- Spoilers ---

    But what about TLoU2? Joel became protector of LGBT. Joel became golf ball and died in vain. Eliie dig up his corpse and behead it in her memory. muscular girl who killed Joel roamed fields and destroyed everything all time with no clear purpose... what do you want to tell us, scenario writer? I think if he shows STRONG Abby's behind story, gamers will understand her motivation naturally in his delusion. That is his intention clearly. but No. No one understand this bad story.

    How about graphic, sound? Not bad, but we just want a consecutive good scenario, not collateral things. Good graphic and sound make a game more remarkable when game is totally good.

    TLoU series is dead. 2 killed 1 as Abby killed Joel.
    DO NOT BUY this game and save your money. I think you can spend your money more wisely.

    The worst video game ever. Basically because it's not a video game!!! There is more movie than game play which sucks A$$. So if you want to sit and watch a movie with some game play added in at different points this is for you. I personally am pissed that I paid video game money for basically a $10 movie!!!!.

    The gameplay and environment are good, but overall tainted by the terrible narrative and overall theme of the game.

Naughty Dog tries to warn and discourage players about the consequences of pursuing revenge, yet they force us to play as a character right after said character kills one of our beloved protagonist from the series! How exactly does this discourage us from seeking revenge when it only makes us sympathetic to their horrible actions.

    Both Abby and Ellie do not mature or get character development and they essentially remain the same towards end of the game. Player's spend hours seeing their character get revenge by killing key characters and innocent NPC's only to spare the main target at the very last second? It felt like we wasted our time and we were left with dread and disappointment. It doesn't make sense for the main character to just walk away from their objective at the last second despite the fact said character gave up the pursuit sometime earlier in the story.

    There are some characters in the game that do not supplement character development or show qualities that make us feel sympathetic towards them. Take for instance Jesse and Manny who are only there to provide some drama to the narrative without providing memorable personal traits.

    The flashbacks were also poorly executed. Those flashbacks should have been the first playable parts of the game and then switch over to the main plot. It would have made the game's ending even more impressionable instead of making us feel like all our efforts were basically for nothing. I honestly think Naughty Dog should have created two campaign modes for the game, one focused completely from Ellie's perspective and another on Abby's story. Upon completion of Ellie's story we will have the option to complete Abby's campaign instead of having us switch between these characters.

    Overall, I don't think this game is worth $59+ and I am disappointed with it. I think Naughty Dog should remake this game or at least learn their mistakes by the time they release Last of Us III.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah the last of us part 2 had the best story I've ever played, it was an amazing game, if Ellie killed Abby she would have made the same mistake joel and Abby committed, as Abby's revenge didn't fix any if her personal problems going on internally and externally, in top of that ellies story mirror's nathan drakes pursued of treasure as nathan drake puts the people he cares about in danger for worthless treasure, in the end nathan leaves tge treasure in the past in order to care about his family, just like ellie leaves her revenge nehind. Abby's story mirror Joel's from the last of us part 1, the story starts with losing a loved one and growing as a person after meeting a little kid that sufferes from external and internal problens as lec lost his sister and ellie lost her best friend before meeting joel. Ellies decision in the end shows growth and selflessness as she acknowledges that every person makes decisions based on circumstance and how Abby has so much in common with joel and she would be committing the same action Abby committed that affect ellie in the begging of the second game. Joel's decision in the end of part 1(2013) serves as an opposite to Peter's decision in the end of Marvel's spiderman(2018). It is all about putting other people's circumstances into consideration abd growing as a person and lifting your self abd the people around you rather than harming the world you were brought into.… Expand

There are some issues with the gameplay mechanics and AI. And part of it has to do with the story telling and how the developers are trying to sway your opinion. To avoid spoilers, I’ll have to be cryptic here. You play as more than one character, and there is a significant difference between how easy they are to control (which seems to be another lame attempt to make you like that character more). Trying to play with Ellie makes it seem like she is physically retarded. It’s like they turn the difficulty down a couple notches with the other character. They move faster, aim better, have better weapons that do more damage, get more supplies, are not noticed as easily, and craft more supplies with less materials. It’s a whole different game where you don’t care who you’re fighting or how much ammo you have, you’re going to win.
    Playing the guitar was a clever way of using the PS4 controller, but after doing it again and again, it’s becomes a distraction. Can we get back to the storyline...oh yea, that’s not the strong-point on this one, is it?
    Concerning the AI...it seemed the developers could not figure out whether they wanted a stealth or combat game. The AI follows predetermined patrol paths in every scene, until you do something. Then they obviously gravitate towards you no matter where you are hiding. Say you set a trap and sneak away to a quiet corner. Once the trap is triggered, all remaining enemies start moving towards you. Humans and infected both do this. It became most obvious when a human discovered me while I was hiding behind cover, and they were on top of the building I was in. Then he starting shooting and doing damage...through the roof. Hmm, ok.
    If humans and infected are in the same scene, they will only engage in a brief confrontation before they act like the other side is invisible. That part made me curse out loud. You try to lure infected towards human opponents, they engage and then...just stop and wander around each other looking for you.

    Story: Disappointing, over and over. The drama about ‘who kissed who?!’ makes it seem like you’re watching Pretty Little Liars. I wouldn’t actually know because I’ve never watched that show. Because I don’t care about who is kissing who.
    Overall, this starts as a revenge story and it’s obvious they want to say that revenge is futile. But lord they make you pay for it, and that message got beat to a pulp with the ancient Greeks. You find yourself saying, ‘wait we’re going off to do what? What does that have to do with this story? Is this even the same story, and who heck is that guy?’ After a while, it’s not the same story at all

    Concerning the events that happen, the developers try too hard for shock value and to mess with your head in obvious and tacky ways. You’re forced to do things that should have been a choice, and were probably bad ideas to begin with.
    Also on that part, the decisions that are made by the characters seem unbelievably immature considering the world where the game takes place, and they’re own statements. The characters make it obvious how they little they care about other characters but then drop everything to go do the impossible for them.
    Essentially, the first and second game have almost nothing to do with each other plot-wise. Watching it was painful and I wish I had not seen it.

    Skip it. For me, the story of Last of Us ended with Joel and Ellie walking into Jackson after they left the hospital. He lies, she cries, and the guitar plays on. Best happy ending I’ve seen in a long time    … 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.
