    THE LAST OF US PARTE 2, un capolavoro, con una storia dura da mandare giù ma che ti fa capire TANTE cose e ti fa maturare pensieri difficili da accettare ed internare.

    Un semplice gioco? Proprio no! Quasi un vero viaggio personale, dove tramite i personaggi della stessa opera, provi molte emozioni, emotività e cambi pensiero su di essi, capisci che nel mondo distrutto da un fottuto virus, nessuno è DAVVERO cattivo, che le persone buone sono semplicemente dovute diventare i mostri che fino a qualche tempo fa avrebbero giudicato per le azioni commesse. Un capolavoro senza se e senza ma, chi dice il contrario non ha capito la storia a mio avviso.
    Ma non mi stupisco, sento gente criticare il gioco perché "Ci sono troppi gay o asiatici" alla gente come voi dovrebbero togliere la possibilità di esprimervi con il mondo esterno per le cagate che sparate.
    Detto questo, un grande e lungo applauso misto lacrime a Naughty Dog per l'opera Che ci ha fornito, GRAZIE.    … Expand

Something that this website should change, it is not fair that this game receives a free review bombing but that could be expected in the previous

    - The quality of animation of the characters of The Last of us Part 2 is incredible. This very detailed is the best studio in that section and not to mention the graphics that amaze more and more with each game they make 10/10

    - We entered the controversy the story, I was left with mixed feelings at the end but I understood the message that Naughty Dog wanted to give, maybe they could better apply certain important decisions but in the end it works, a risky bet on the part of ND. It is incredible how much the studio has matured since Crash Bandicoot the first game I played. The game shows you the perspectives of the characters and invites you to reflect on their actions. Connect perfectly with the first installment, you may like it or not, but there it is.

    -
    If you liked the gameplay of the first installment ... The Last of us Part 2 far exceeds it, the gameplay of this title is simply brilliant, a combat system, stealth and shooting totally polished compared to the first game, much more agile and the AI ​​of the enemies far surpasses other titles of the genre. Those infected in this game are more suffocating that add some challenge especially in the upper difficulties ... There is a boss in the game ( No spoiler... but) I was puzzled by how memorable it was I felt in another game of the genre (RE) brilliantly applied in the gameplay and above all with consistency of why it is there, a pity that there were no more of those ... it would have been great. 10/10

    -The music of The Last of us Part 2 does not disappoint. Gustavo Santaolalla did it again ... at the height of the first. Great

    I like that TLOU2 has not succumbed to spoilers and that it has sold very well, the free hate that this game took during its development due to the sexual orientation of the protagonist, spoilers, violence, dogs, review bombing , etc. I find it rather unfortunate, I hope haters apply it to other games too, right? according to your biased measuring stick. Great game of Naughty Dog a risky bet on his part ... you may like the story or not but I assure you that it will not leave you indifferent, of course if you have experienced it as it should be.    … Expand

This game was BEYOND beautiful in the way of graphics, actually a masterpiece 100%. The story has some moments that almost push you to an emotional response that coulda made this a positive review. All in all had the game been more about relations and the complexity behind such relationships they woulda succeeded on yet another master class game. The part that makes this half bad however is the stuff that ignores humans and our complexity and decides to focus heavily on human decisions. While decisions are a part of human complexity, and even something worth dwelling on they decide that the focus will be on decisions that affect themselves(such as someone preferring to be a boy, or individual sexuality) the reason this eats the games strong narrative is that those are personal decisions and don't make anyone harbor care for an individual. For an example, instead of trying to make people feel bad for someone not being excepted for being gay you should just focus on the decisions they made to make them seem cast out, like cutting hair or getting a tattoo that makes the city hate you... i digress. Basically TLOU succeeded so well because we weren't intentionally focused on joel selfishly choosing to having feelings he found a replacement for his daughter in ellie thus saving her at the end in a decision that you come to believe was morally wrong but understandable. This game is different and i just wish it showed more complexity not personal agendas.… Expand

El juego se merece un 9/10, lo pase muy bien durante el juego, las muertes brutales, ejecuciones, el boss del hospital, las cartas coleccionables y para que hablar de los gráficos de 10, algo que se nota a simple vista, cada detalle. La música del juego acompaña muy bien los distintos momentos del juego, se nota ese impacto, la tristeza, el shock, o la misma rabia. Pero no todo es bueno, hay momentos que se vuelven repetitivos, la sensación de que no se avanza, o la misma decisión de jugar con otro personaje. Para terminar, la historia es agridulce, tuve momentos de mucho enojo, rabia, tristeza, empatía y empatía, pude sentir cada momento como uno personal, el juego logra transmitir esas emociones, a mi en lo personal el juego me gustó, el costo fue muy alto, la muerte de Joel, con un final que simplemente de deja esa sensación amarga y de vacío. En fin, el juego es una montaña rusa de emociones.… Expand

    An emotional story filled with brutal moments, heartfelt and well developed characters that hooked me up since the start! Worthy successor of the first game! The game mechanics are very enjoyable and fun, you either go stealthy or guns blazing or both! The game didn't slow down for me too much! Is it a 10/10 I don't think so! That's why I'm giving it a 8/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Writing this review after finishing the game moments ago. After 30h ish of game time, I can say that I enjoyed most of it, but feel like Druckmann and Naughty Dog owe me a few hours back.

    Story
    What I loved about the first game was that it was relatively unique within the zombie survival-horror genre. The zombies themselves were unique, Joel and Ellie had a refreshing dynamic you don't see too often, and the "I'm immune" storyline was told in a new way and went in a direction I didn't expect, which ended up being the main event that serves as the heartbeat of this game. The Last of Us Part 2 has a story that took me 30 hours to beat, but got its message across within 10. After that, when you're reading between the lines you're often thinking "I know... you said that already... we get it... revenge is bad... Abby and Ellie are the same... war and violence is just an endless cycle that accomplishes nothing...". That message in itself is something The Walking Dead has been saying for 10 years, so it's remarkably disappointing to see The Last of Us fall into zombie-genre cliches - after the first was so unique.

    What lets down the execution of the story is the way in which it is told. I'm all for a good non-linear form of storytelling, but I think the dominoes are setup in the wrong order here. When the game switches half way through to Abby's past 3 days, you meet a lot of the characters you've already killed as Ellie. This made me form absolutely no emotional attachment to them whatsoever, so I never felt bad for killing them - except for the doggo Alice, she was a good doggo. If the stories were told side-by-side, and we got to know Owen, Nora, Leah and Mel before Ellie runs into them, it would have let those scenes sting a bit for the player - juggling between the idea that you kind of want Ellie to succeed but you also don't want her to kill these people. That idea is perfectly executed when the stories line up though and you're forced to play as Abby as she hunts down Ellie in the theatre. I still wanted Ellie to accomplish her goal so getting me, the player, to play as her opponent trying to take her down was a great touch, and made me do something I didn't want to do - much in the same way as Joel's infamous scene in the first game.

    However, this zig-zagging between stories all leads to a fairly disappointing ending. I understand the message of the game, I understand why every character does what they do, and I understand Druckmann didn't want you to really know which side was correct - they're both equally justified and wrong in their actions. But for a sense of satisfaction, I wanted Abby or Ellie to kill the other. Just put a pin in that story. End it properly. If Ellie won, she did it but at the cost of losing everyhing else - revenge made her lose more than gain anything - the point of the game still stands. If Abby won, she's become Joel - and the cycle will likely repeat in an imaginary Last of Us 3, and Ellie would have died seeking revenge - again showing she's lost everything. If the game wasn't so long-winded, I'd be happy with the ending the way it is, but after I've spent 30 hours of my life to ultimately get to an equilibrium that was present 5 hours in, it feels like a waste.

    Gameplay
    If it ain't broke, why fix it? The gameplay in this game is pretty much identical to the first, with a few minor adjustments here and there. The weapon upgrade system is the same but with new, sleek animations and the player upgrade system is just a little bit deeper with a lot more options. The weapon selection and core combat mechanics all remain the same, except for the melee combat. Melee has been changed so that more than one enemy can attack you at a time - which is welcomed, and it is now a bit more skill-based than the button-mashing style of the first game. You now have to time dodges by looking at tells from the enemy, and some enemies can dodge and grab you when you try to hit them. I found the dodge mechanic to be... pardon the pun... a little hit and miss. Sometimes you would dodge out the way, and other times I felt I'd still get hit even though I timed the dodge well and moved in the correct direction. This melee system works well overall, but without a lock-on system sometimes you can get hit after dodging because the enemy has gone off-camera and you need to find where they are again. It's a minor frustration, but it happened often enough to get under my skin a little.

    Something else that got under my skin was the AI detection. I played on normal difficulty and, while I like good AI when it comes to stealth games, the detection in this game seems a little funky. Blind clickers would often see me when I wasn't moving at all, some enemies would see me through walls, and some can see you from quite a distance away - which isn't an issue in itself, but when your listen-mode seems to only go 50ft or so, it's easy to miss an enemy further away who could be looking right at you.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. How can characters and story from the first game be ruined so terribly? Although a story-based game, nothing makes sense with too many plot holes. Joel deserved better and the Joel we know would not have made such a mistake that would lead to such a ridiculously stupid death. To then be forced to play the character we hate and know nothing about all of a sudden and then try to kill our second beloved character is just horrible writing and for a game of this level and expectation just garbage. The ending is a dumpster fire of its own. All that time and effort built to kill Abby as well as killing hundreds on the way and it doesn't even take place. So why did we even play it? And a flashback of Joel results in this? Don't make me laugh! Joel was an ultra-survivor that trusted nobody and did everything to survive and would not have hesitated or had second thoughts about killing anyone to ensure his and his groups survival especially when it came to ellie. He was the last person that would have mercy when it came to survival. But he was no torturer either. Abby and Joel are nothing alike and there is just absolutely zero growth in this entire game and as said before, the game in the end felt pointless with just angered players left over with the stupidest choices possible. This plot could have maybe worked but everything was done wrong and out of order as well as out of place. Terrible overall and should be known as the worst let down of gaming history. Support the graphics and gameplay all you want, but I didn't feel much of a difference from the first game as the first game had gone beyond its time already in these categories so I refuse to give anything above 0. Everything has deteriorated and I refuse to accept this as the next game. I am still waiting for The Last of Us 2...… Expand

Ambientazioni stratosferiche e gameplay che migliora in tutto e per tutto quello del primo capitolo. Il lavoro di scrittura della storia e dei dialoghi è magistrale, un'opera immensa, piena di caratterizzazione dei personaggi, e intrecci narrativi. Forse l'unica pecca del gioco è essersi concetrato troppo sul trasmettere un determinato tipo di messaggio, cedendo il fianco ad un ritmo di narrazione un po troppo altalenante, e alcune scelte del proseguimento della storia non proprio esaltanti. In definitiva un must have per tutti quelli che hanno amato il primo capitolo, ma che potrebbe stupire anche chi si approccia al franchise per la prima volta. Ps.

    Lo he terminado hoy y por momentos he amado y odiado la historia, pero sin dudas ha sido un paseo por las emociones humanas más profundo que jamás he sentido, desde la crueldad más oscura y putrefacta del ser humano, hasta la redención, el perdón y el amor, rayos, ningún videojuego me ha hecho experimentar esto, aunque dudo que muchos lo entiendan así, el juego es más complejo de lo que ves a simple vista, pero lamentablemente no está hecho para todos, es una historia muy cruda, realista y deprimente, con leves pinceladas de felicidad, pero muy contundentes, que de verdad te llegan al corazón.

    Entiendo el enojo por Joel, me encantaba el personaje, y estuve muy enojado por la forma en cómo murió, y su actitud confiada frente a extraños, pero así es el mundo real, una mala decisión puede costarte la vida, a veces la gente muere por cosas simples, como por cruzar la calle a través de la pista en lugar del puente, por no ponerse el cinturón de seguridad, por no usar casco manejando una moto, por confiar en extraños, es una lección muy dura a pesar de ser sólo un videojuego, Joel ha calado muy fuerte en el corazón de muchos jugadores incluyéndome, esto dejando de lado el trasfondo lógico de que tenía que morir por quitarle la cura a la humanidad.

    Al final no sé cómo calificarlo, creo que por todo el impacto y la transmisión de emociones e incluso sensaciones (la inmersión y los gráficos tan pulidos hacían que llegue al punto de casi sentir la humedad de las plantas mojadas por la lluvia, o el olor a tierra mojada, por poner unos ejemplos) no sé si debería considerarse obra maestra, pero lo que si creo es que es un videojuego transgresor que quizás ponga un punto y a parte a las historias de los videojuegos e incluso del cine.    … 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.
