    Il gioco più bello della generazione assieme a Red Dead Redemption 2. Tecnicamente impressionate, con un gameplay che perfeziona quello del primo e una trama che ha il coraggio di non imboccare il giocatore con tutto quello che si aspetta ma che cambia le carte in tavole, riuscendo a veicolare meravigliosamente il suo messaggio.

    Amazing attention to detail, challenging gameplay and emotive story line that shows the bleak reality of life post infection. I don’t agree with all the decisions the main protagonists make the but they are a product of their world and experiences, and the game is an amazing story telling saga.

    A brilliant sequel. Does the original justice. The gameplay can feel a bit to linear at some points but the storyline and overall experience make up for this.

    this game may not be for everyone. But it is a work of art that will stand the test of time for challenging us to forgive and care about the other

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a very polished game. Awesome graphics and gameplay. Story was good and intense. I liked Ellie in the beginning. Towards the end, I didn't like her anymore, but I started to like Abby. Interesting approach to tell that there's no typical good guy/bad guy in such a scenario. This game is a showcase of how important sound is. It ads the same amount to the imersion as the graphics. Could it had a bit more variety? Sure, but it delivers what was expected.… Expand

    The graphics of this game are incredible! I was so captivated by the moving story and the intense fight scenes. Naughty Dog and all the cast did an excellent job on his game! I highly recommend! Currently on my 3rd play through. Still love it as much as the 1st. 10/10 would recommend.

    I was scared at first seeing the amount of negative publicity this game was getting. I've been a huge fan of this series since the first game came out and I have to say, this game is beautiful. The story telling is wonderful, while there were many surprises along the way, the ending of this game left me wanting more! JOB WELL DONE! Dont believe the negative comments you see online.

    The last of us part 2 is an astonishing achievement in video games with a captivating story, intense game-play, beautiful soundtrack and sound design and incredible graphics.

    First off Game-play
    The game-play is a whole lot better than the first games with exciting new mechanics which have a huge variety of ways to get through encounters which bolster replay ability. You can set traps, throw bombs, stun people, use a bow and arrow or a silenced pistol to take enemies down quietly and craft explosive arrows and incendiary shells.The controls are seamless and smooth which is really easy to pick up and play through the game including the vehicle control and the boats. The only drawback could be the fact that you have to keep scrounging around for materials, but its only purpose was to get you ready for the next encounter which could be with the infected or humans. Overall I would give the game-play a 9/10
    sound design and music
    This is an incredible aspect of the game because it adds to the atmosphere of the game during encounters with enemies. Gustavo Santonella did an impressive job with the soundtrack as well in which everybody should give a listen to. The sound design is incredible from when you fight infected and the music creeps in which adds to the immersion greatly. I would give this a 10/10
    Graphics
    Do you really want me to explain this?The amount of detail and colour which is put into this game is absolutely astounding with things you wouldn't even notice when you play through the game unless you dig deep into it and find them. The facial animations are realistic and expressive which shows that naughty dog put in a lot of effort once again. I would give this a 10/10
    The story
    Now this is a controversial one.The story is absolutely incredible and Naughty Dog makes some bold, unpredictable decisions to make sure it shocks people. Around two hours into the game Joel is killed by Abby who murders him with a golf club. For me, this was a powerful way to start a revenge story. For some people, this is a generic cliche which is overused. At the same time you could say the same for the first game, which was a trek across the united states in a post-apocalyptic land.So what was it that made it special?It was the character development between these Joel and Ellie and the emotive experience in which it was executed.In the first half of the game you hunt down Abby and become a ruthless killer who doesn't care about whatever she does or who she kills or puts in risk only to murder those who have an association with Abby just so she can track her down and kill her. She turns into this monster who kills a ton of people just so she can be satisfied with herself that she kills Abby. Naughty dog does an excellent job of putting yourself in the character's shoes and feeling every emotion which is put into this game. In the first half of the game you feel angry towards Abby and what she did to Joel and Naughty Dog pulls it off. In the second half of the game the clock resets and you play as Abby and now you don't want to play as Abby because you couldn't care less about her and her character arc because she killed Joel, but as you keep playing you understand who she is and her personality. Abby was a firefly but her father was killed by Joel because Joel wanted to save Ellie and killed him in the process.Naughty dog could have taken a more predictable approach to the story where Joel and Ellie set off on another adventure across the country and hunted down cults and bad guys, but they decided to take a different approach. Instead, your actions in the previous game had grave consequences which led to this game. I feel that this game honours Ellie and Joel's relationship as it shows the great lengths that Ellie would go to in order to avenge Joel.
    There is no real bad guy in this game but it has different perspectives.We learn more about the wolves from Abby's side and when we experience her side of the story and the world she lives in and we also see the Seraphites side of the story when we are with Abby looking for medicine in the hospital whilst we are with Lev who was part of the Seraphites.I deeply enjoyed this game for those reasons and I was able to connect with these characters and love them.During the end in the fight between Abby and Ellie, I wasn't rooting or cheering for any of these characters because I really liked these characters and I did'nt want death to befall them.The only issue I could really see about the game was the pacing issues in which I don’t think could have been done perfectly because it is hard to even out the days. Apart from this though i would give the story a 18.5/20.

    the game is game of the generation. It makes you feel conflicting , uncomfortable feelings and shameful of what you have done .its not usual feeling for a video game and that's why its amazing. Gameplay is also class leading. It is simply the game of the generation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to hate Abby, but she didn’t kill because she was a bad guy. It was out of revenge. Abby and Ellie were on the same journey, just at different times. The part of me that loved Joel and Ellie wanted her to die, but the other part of me that could see her motivations, and how she evolved from that moment, made her one of my favorite characters. That’s not an easy feat to pull off, and her voice actor deserves so much credit for making me empathize with the character. Ellie and Abby also had different skill trees, which was a great way to make the gameplay fresh and different at the switch. Masterpiece.… Expand

    Prior to playing this game, I made sure not to read any articles about the leaks or listen to anyone else's opinion in an attempt to not taint or bias my experience of the game. It was difficult to evade all of the people talking about the game prior to the release but I managed it.

It was difficult to evade all of the people talking about the game prior to the release but I managed it.

    I genuinely thought this was the best action adventure video game I have ever played. Far superior to its predecessor. The story telling was mind blowing and the turn of events always had me guessing and took me by surprise. Needless to say, the world created by Naughty Dog was absolutely stunning.

    The gameplay was smooth and I experienced no glitches in the mechanics. Dying was gruesome and the puzzles were rewarding. The enemies can be tough to beat (depending on the level of difficulty you play) but that makes it all the more exciting. The weaponry at your fingertips was really cool and allows you to play in many different ways.

    This was a lesson on empathy. As a mental health academic and professional, one of the hardest things to explain to someone is how to be empathic. This game did that flawlessly. What you learn is that if you give someone a backstory then you suddenly feel for them and care for their humanity. All the differences between one another become futile in comparison to the insurmountable amount of commonalities that exist.

    Overall: Breathtaking storytelling. How they can get you to hate somebody and then reverse your feelings and feel for them was a feat like no other. A great case study on empathy and literally puts you in each characters shoes.

    Finally, I thought the inclusivity of a wide array of backgrounds was smooth and not forced into the story. In fact, I cannot see how the story would be so incredible had it not been for the unique experiences of each character.

    I never wanted this game to end. Yes, it's not the most uplifting. But that's the point. I found myself fearing human enemies much more than I feared clickers and bloaters. We create our own misery sometimes.

    Thank you Naughty Dog and everyone who worked on this game for creating such a magnificent piece of art and passing it on to the world. I hope you all know this was truly a sight to behold and your hard-work was worthwhile. I can't wait to see what you have coming up next.    … Expand

    Love the story direction of hate it, this game is top notch. I know its getting a lot of 0 ratings but it doesn't deserve that just because people didn't agree with how they wrote the story. Sure my first play through i was a little taken back but as it settled a bit i have an appreciation for it now.

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
