The gameplay regarding stealth and gun-play is smooth and fluid. The only criticism I have for the game is the level of attention that must be given to the game. The game does not welcome beginners, and appeals more to the crowd that has challenged themselves further in the prequel of the game. The story unravels at a good pace with segments that include survival more than battle, which gives it an element of thrill besides action and adventure.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe this game is one of the best looking games ever to come out. The settings,the monsters and charecters look amazing. There are several moments of actual terror and good jump scares. The story makes you think of the consequences of your actions especially when it comes to revenge. How many times have we murdered without thinking about it. In this game we see both sides and end up feeling empathy for both sides. I loved it from start to finish i really did.… Expand

    Just finished this emotional rollercoaster of a game and I can say it has left me throughly wrecked. As you play through this game, you’ll begin to question your morals and sense of justice. It’s really an experience that’s all about perspective. However, in my opinion, a great deal of empathy is required to fully enjoy it. In terms of gameplay and pacing, it’s truly a harrowing journey which sometimes will feel like a never-ending series of encounters. For me, it made me treasure the rare peaceful moments even more. The combat system was really well done, making you feel every hit you take and dish out, melee or otherwise. Definitely would recommend getting this game, just for the sheer whirlwind of emotion it puts you through. Please ignore the bad reviews and give this game a chance. It’ll be one to remember for a long time. I’m currently at a loss for words as to how I feel upon completing it. Truly.    … Expand

    Acho que só jogando para poder dizer se gostou ou não. Gameplay maravilhosa, historia envolvente, por mais que vc não goste de algumas partes vc se sente preso na historia para ver como ela vai se desenvolver, o jogo te mantem interessado do começo ao fim e traz experiencias inéditas. Sem falar nos gráficos maravilhosos.
    Não me arrependo da compra.

    talking serious, that game (for me) it is one of those games that you play (or watch) and when it's over you question your own reality and you change your perspective of your own world. sure it is a real masterpiece.

    There is nothing "poor" about the story in this game. The story is harsh and brutal in every sense. At times it's very uncomfortable to watch but that doesn't make it "bad" or "poor".

In my opinion, down the line this game will be remembered as one of the great milestones in gaming. Not only for it's technical and artistic achievements, but for it's ballsy narrative design that shows how and why video games can be so much more effective than other media, like films or books.… Expand

    Since its release in 2013, The Last of Us has firmly held a place on my podium as one of the best games of all time.

Harrowingly beautifulSince its release in 2013, The Last of Us has firmly held a place on my podium as one of the best games of all time. Having played through the first instalment 7 or 8 times over the years whilst I patiently waited for the Part II, its fairly safe to say that my expectations for The Last of Us: Part II were extremely high and I was NOT disappointed… What a masterpiece! Harrowingly beautiful and shockingly captivating to the end. I never read reviews on a game until I have completed it, so when I learnt from a follower whilst streaming the end to our macabre journey last night, that the game had been completely bombed by reviews, I was stunned. Having now read a heap of reviews, a number of which came in just a hours after the games release, despite the game requiring 20-30 hours of gameplay; I feel it is imperative that the game receives the ratings it deserves. So here we go… (N.B. - Completed on Survivor Mode).

    The gameplay is excellent. A solid 3rd person view that sits in sweet spot to behind the character, not being to close to obstruct and not so far as to make distant targets hard to see and camera angles are reasonably flexible. Aiming and shooting were pretty standard for a modern 3rd person shooter. The enemies AI was outstanding, just when you thought you had their pathing worked, they would change it up on you as you got closer or moved to get a better angle. Enemy ‘tells’ were subtle and sometimes hard to gauge, making melee combat that bit more difficult (which is good). This leads me to probably my biggest pain point for the game… I expected it to be harder, particularly given that when selecting ‘Survivor’ you are prompted with a warning advising against selecting this difficulty on your first playthrough. In terms of music, the scoring for this game is in my opinion without rival from any game to-date (think this comment speaks for itself).
    The graphics are stunning, despite the developer’s limitations on the PS4’s out-of-date hardware. It would have been amazing to see the potential with say, NVIDIA’s Ray Tracing. The environment is beautiful, amazing land and cityscapes that were well bordered so that you weren’t frustrated by the fact that the character was stopped by a brick on the ground that they could easily step over to move past into the area that lay beyond. Character design was excellent, even though it was obvious from the outset that developers had revisited Ellie’s appearance to remove further confusion between our protagonist and the actress, Ellen Page. Also, the design of Abby’s military muscle build was an admirable shift from the typical sexy/beautiful female characters, that screams “this game was designed by men”. That of course leads me to the final and most controversial point of the game, the story. (Warning: Spoilers ahead) As a true fan of the original instalment, I cannot fathom how people are attacking the story. Given that a large number of the negative reviews came hours after the games release, perhaps people were annoyed by an intro that was not huge on information, but what good thriller ever divulges the plot upfront. Jovial Ellie is now an emotional teenager with ‘daddy’ issues and as we learn, rightfully so. We are also confronted right at the start with a scene similar to the ‘Glen & Negan’ moment from TWD, were we come to terms that our hero from the last story will not play a significant part going forward; just as the ‘Glen & Negan’ scene did, this likely lost peoples interest going forward, but hey.. death is a part of life. As the story progresses flashbacks help stitch together the events of the past 4 years for Ellie and we are forced to understand that there are different sides to every story, as we play through the eyes of our new anti-hero, Abby. Was it the story I expected? No… but it was a story of loss, heartache and revenge (with a serving of PTSD), which quite frankly makes sense for kids raised in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. Did the developers make our little Ellie a lesbian? Yes… But seriously, it is 2020 people, it is time to move on. There were of course bits that frustrated me with the way the story went, but that’s to be expected given that the story didn’t go the way I expected. Being forced to play as Abby in the theatre annoyed me, as I wasn't sold on her redemption yet, and found myself occasionally run at Ellie just to see her blow a hole in Abby’s face. The end also left me wanting, But expect this was purposeful to set up a potential Part III (i.e. Fireflies and Ellie's wish to save humanity).

    If you have not yet played the game or finished it; I implore you to STOP, get off this site, go to your local store, buy the game and complete it with an open-mind. Decide for yourself. At the end of the day, whilst this is a darker story, it now easily sits side by side with the first instalment on my podium as one of the top games of all-time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ho giocato per la seconda volta questo titolo, adesso ho le idee chiare e senza dubbi lo definisco uno dei punti più alti di tutta la generazione di videogiochi in assoluto. Ha una storia semplice ma non scarna di colpi di scena, che quando ci sono, sono molto convincenti. Il gameplay è solamente migliorato dal primo capitolo, rimanendo comunque molto simile. Dopo la prima run, sono rimasto perplesso dopo il finale.
    P.S. Da ora partono gli spoiler...
    Parlando del finale, mi sarebbe molto piaciuto vedere Ellie uccidere Abby e diventare quindi una persona che durante tutto il gioco viene lentamente consumata dalla vendetta, questo lo dimostra proprio il finale, quando, Abby legata ai pali viene liberata da Ellie, ma quest'ultima non vuole spezzarla, distruggerla da impotente, Ellie vuole combattere e trovare un senso ancora più grande nella sua vendetta, che però viene sporcata dal ricordo che Ellie ha di Joel. Detto questo, vorrei cercare di far capire alla gente che mette 0 per provocazione o per il semplice motivo che odia il gioco, che se mettete 0 o magari 1 o 2 perchè la trama vi fa schifo, dovreste sapere che quello a cui giocate è un "VIDEOGIOCO" non un film, perché anche se il gioco non avesse il supporto di una trama bellissima, anzi una trama orribile e stupida (cosa che, ripeto, non è) sarebbe comunque un gioco di altissimo livello, con un gameplay molto bello, una grafica spettacolare e altri piccoli dettagli che comunque contribuiscono a rendere un gioco quello che è, perché The Last of Us è un gioco notevole    … Expand

If Joel dies that is fine, he was murderer who arguably deserves to die. But if you are going to show him in the trailers making it seem that he will be interacting with Ellie a lot and "not letting her do this on her own" then you are straight up lying and involving the story with the trailers, which is very weak for the writers to need support from. Secondly, the big bad new infected that they didn't want to spoil is just a bigger bloater that creates a smaller infected, and you only fight it once. There is no surprise there and the original bloater actually challenged me more. It did look cool tho. But that is all I'm giving the game points for: looking pretty. In the first game when I messed up a stealth section I was actually excited to work through it. In the sequel however I felt like I just wanted to get over it due to the repetitive encounters. Over all I respect naughty dog for attempting something so ambitious. But man did they pull a game of thrones on this game. I feel that asking for a refund for this game is kind of ridiculous because of how much effort went in to it. But man if naughty dog is just going to lie to us and make it boring for 20+ hours I think we deserve our money back. The product is not what the marketing promised on. Neil druckman said people will not like the direction of the story ect. and that is fair, but what he should have said is don't buy the game if you believed out trailers. Don't lie, do the right thing. Refund our money… 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.

    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]
