    Simplesmente incrivel nunca tive tantas emoções diversas como tive em the last of us, mesmo quando achei q a historia não fosse me agradar ela tomou um caminho que me surpreendeu e me fez se envolver emocionalmente de um jeito q jamais pessei, voce tem que simplesmente abrir a cabeça e deixar a historia ser contada quem fizer isso pode ter grandes chances de se apaixonar por esse gane,Simplesmente incrivel nunca tive tantas emoções diversas como tive em the last of us, mesmo quando achei q a historia não fosse me agradar ela tomou um caminho que me surpreendeu e me fez se envolver emocionalmente de um jeito q jamais pessei, voce tem que simplesmente abrir a cabeça e deixar a historia ser contada quem fizer isso pode ter grandes chances de se apaixonar por esse gane, que para mim tem grandes chances de ser o goty de 2020… Expand

    While there are many negative reviews, most are from people who have never played the game and are not reliable

    First I was a little concerned about all this **** storm around this game, but at the end I can say that it was just a bull****. The game is good, the narrative is brilliant.

    It is a new level for the games to talk to the players, so it possible takes some time to people to start listening.

    Thx, Naughty Dog!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in campaign-oriented games! So much work has been dedicated to this game -in every aspect of it- by the developers, fact that makes me question the validity of all those review bombers giving it a 0/10, 1/10 etc. So in case you are willing to study the reviews before buying the game, just ignore the unreasonably low ones (this also applies to the unjustifiably high ones). I’m gonna review the most discussed features of the game separately below:

    • Graphics/ environment & character designs/ details: I give it an undeniable 10/10. Perhaps the most advanced game we’ve ever given in the current-generation era of PlayStation. • Gameplay/ Mechanics: well, are not given any robust differences in the way of playing compared to the first tlou. We surely have an extended variety of collectibles and artifacts that help us dig into the events and lifestyle of a post-apocalyptic world, which is quite interesting. Levelling up the difficulty made the gameplay much more challenging and strategic to me. Stealth system works better than the one of the first game. Unlocking skills and upgrading weapons made the experience much more tense and fun for me. However, when playing as Abby i was a bit bored at some parts and also when approaching the ending of the game, the gameplay felt a bit repetitive. I’m gonna give it a 9/10. • Story: well this is the part where most of the ‘fans’ go crazy, saying it’s a complete trash. I respect the fact that each and every one of the players approaches differently the story, that’s why it’s so interesting. I personally loved it. I loved the fact that naughty dog didn’t hesitate to snob the fanservice and instead gave us their point of view, delivering their vision exactly as they imagined it. After all, it is a post-apocalyptic world, don’t expect everything to be good and optimistic. Joel’s death (even though it was brutal and made me feel empty) was totally understandable since it served as the ‘backbone’ of the part 2’s existence. The journey that is followed by Ellie to reach her target -i.e. Abby- leads to decisions and scenarios generated by the protagonist that feel wrong in general (for instance, the brutal killing of Nora and the unnecessary death of pregnant Mel) and made me think it was worth it to avenge Joel by killing everyone except his killer. When it comes to playing as Abby (god this is maybe the most critical point of discussion and main reason for gamers to hate the game), the feelings are kinda mixed with the wider percentage of us (the gamers) feeling awkward and unwilling to play as her. However, the developers have offered a wider range of capabilities -for instance, different skills, weapons, crafts, artifacts etc.- that propel you to an interesting and enjoyable gameplay with very cool sequences (rat king encounter and scar island escape). In the end, I felt sympathy towards Abby. This is me talking subjectively. Many people may say that they ended up still hating her. Totally respectable. But I liked her character the more I played the game and the more I was processing her backstory. Abby and Ellie are two different sides of the same coin in my opinion. They both seek vengeance for their father figures, they both end up losing people they care about and finally, they both realise the mistakes they have committed. There were 2 main parts that captured my attention and made me understand how deep this game was. First one is that the unstoppable persuasion of revenge costed Ellie (By losing 2 fingers) the only strong connection to Joel which is her ability to play the guitar and thus remember him. The second is that in the last scene with Joel and Ellie. To be exact, she tells him that she isn’t sure if she can forgive him for ‘abstracting’ the meaning of her life/immunity. Then she tells him she could try to forgive him, then Joel says he’d like that. At that moment, she says okay to him in the exact same way she did in the ending of the first game. The guitar theme playing in the background is also the same as the one in the first game. Same music, same people, same word. ‘Okay’. However this time, Ellie says okay to the truth whereas in the first games ending, she said okay to the lie. The concept of the game aims to promote honesty and forgiveness, not hatred and vengeance. That’s what the majority of haters fails to understand. Story and concept gets a 10/10 for me. Finally, to however may play the game, I suggest you to experience it from an objective point of view and with an open mind as well!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has come under a lot of abuse but wow. It has people talking and dividing opinions and i think that’s what they set out to do. Most people wanted a copy or something very similar to the first. They wasn’t going to do that. I found myself being shocked about the route I was taking or they was making me take. I hated Abby and couldn’t wait to get to kill her. Then when I was taking charge of her I didn’t want to. By the end I wanted her to live and take lev to the fire flys. I wanted Ellie to just cut her down and get in the boat and walk away. That’s the only change I would make to this game. She would just get in the boat not say a word and leave instead of the fight that ensues. By killing Joel they wanted to give you the ammunition to fight for revenge when abbys fight for revenge has the same right to be heard. Also away for story it also has improved the combat and other game mechanics ten fold. It’s a great sequel and that’s just what is a sequel. It’s doesn’t take away from how great the first one was. I hope for a third is they take it away from this line of story and maybe find a new story in the universe where they could be endless story’s to tell.… Expand

From start to finish this game was unreal between the graffics to game play was just awesome , when you play as Abby after playing with Ellie and pretty much hating her for what she did to Joel it was very odd feeling that I never experienced in a video game ! 10/10 for me the hate from people who didn’t even play the whole game at the start was very odd ! I had to come on here and put my review on it and hopefully bump that user score up some which I can see already went up a decent amount ! If your in the fence about this game don’t be it’s awesome… Expand

    Il mio gioco preferito
    Il gioco di una generazione
    Mi da fastidio come la gente sia così infantile da non accettare la morte di un personaggio, capisco come sia difficile vedere ucciso il proprio personaggio preferito e poi utilizzare il suo killer, ma la scelta della ND è stata molto coraggiosa, mai fatta prima, e mi è piaciuta.
    La storia di questo gioco è FANTASTICA, è una storia drammatica, è un gioco che riesce a prenderti il cuore e spaccartelo in mille pezzi, per alcuni è un difetto del gioco, ma invece era Lo scopo del gioco ed è stata una scelta fantastica, il gioco varia da momenti molto tristi a momenti dolci ed emozionanti (compleanno di Ellie). Abby è un grandissimo personaggio, è fantastico come il gioco riesce a fartelo odiare a morte, fartelo apprezzare e alla fine fartelo amare. WOW questo gioco è fantastico.

    Just because the story isn’t what *you* wanted it to be, doesn’t make it bad. People die, stuff happens, things don’t go as planned. Not every story gets a satisfying, happy ending. Deal with it. The game is set in a bleak, post apocalyptic world, not a Disney fairy tale.

    Everything on the technical side is improved and enhanced greatly from the first game.

    Regarding the story... the game creators have said it best: The first game is about love, the second game is about hate. The first game was sad and violent, and ugly, but it was also heart-warming and beautiful. You see the world through the eyes of a washed-off man who learns to love again.

    This game is the complete opposite. It's designed to make you feel increasingly unease, to the point of regretting your own actions. You start strong and determined, only to get slowly and relentlessly invaded by doubt and quilt. At some point you might even feel that you would rather not carry on the actions that the game requires for the story to progress. In my book, that's a huge accomplishment. I feel that many of the people who criticize the choices they made on the story are missing this point.

    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]
