    Non capisco veramente, è the last of us. Cosa bisogna potere volere di più? Il 90% delle critiche sul gioco sono personali e quindi non condizionano il gioco che di per sé, continua una storia che persino a me risultava difficile da continuare. Tutti quelli che lo hanno finito in poco tempo sono anche quelli che i giochi non se li godono

    This game is a triumph, I am about 14 hours in now and can say this game is as good as the first. No multiplayer hurts its replay-ability but dont miss this ine!

    Try it for yourself and take the game as it is. A lot of the negative reviews I’ve seen of the game focus primarily around the story or “agendas” in which Naughty Dog is pushing. This game will challenge you to think as well as challenge some pre-conceived notions you didn’t even know you had about the world. I’d challenge you to play this game without becoming polarized.

    Just like the first game, easily one of the best ever made. If you don’t like this game because you don’t like the fact that the lead is a gay women, then you are a moron. Even if you don’t like the story it is still and absolute masterpiece of game making. Nothing really comes close to the quality and detail involved in making this game. Simply outstanding from start to finish.

    This game was Simply just boring. I can appreciate the great graphics and superb soundtrack but the story and the rest of the game is just boring. It feels like I am playing some sort of fanfic based on the previous game and it feels so weird that the game turned out so much worse than the last game. The story and characters are absolute **** some might enjoy it but if you liked the lastThis game was Simply just boring.

    The most disappointing thing is that this game could have been so good but something weird and wacky happened to Naughty Dog and now we got this mess.

    Good graphics, decent combat and a good soundtrack gives this game some points but the story is just so bad I can’t give it anything more than that. Very disappointed, not even worth playing if it was free.    … Expand

    Game may have flaws in the story department but it is a solid production of a game, I'd give it a 7/8 normally but since there are so many 0s (unreasonable) I'll give a 10 to balance it out.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, if you want to make a game that "is about revenge", WHY THE HELL IS THERE NO REVENGE ?! Ellie should have killed Abby.

    To continue, the entire part of Abby is boring and I swear by everything that when I controlled Ellie (if only for a short time since she was in the end) I cried that I could stop controlling Abby. It seems good to me that they wanted to put her as a playable persona to empathize with her (I don't know if I'm the only one who has never done it), but we are half or even more of the game controlling her.

    And the last thing I wanted to emphasize for the bad part, Joel in the first game was someone smart, cautious ... But in this game it is like: "Oh ok, I'm going to go to this place that I don't meet with people who I don't know who They are and when I arrive I will not stop stressing that I am Joel, JOEL JOEL JOEL" It seems good to me that they want to kill the character, but more importantly. I know that their intention was to make the game more crude and such, but the only thing they achieve is that you stay with an idiot face looking at the screen. The problem is that we have been sold the game for what it is not.

    For the playable part nothing to comment except that it is very good, for a 9/10. The problem with this game is its suspenseful story, and in The Last of us the MOST IMPORTANT thing is the story.

    I have not put something lower than five because I think it is good that there is diversity (not like other people) and because except for resounding history, it is a good game.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. They've taken every good thing from part 1 and improved it immensely. The graphics alone stand out like none other. If this is a a sign of what next gen is gonna bring i cant wait. Well done naughty dog.

    Я сейчас покажу насилие с обоих сторон в такой мерзкой реалистичной подаче что в конце вы придете в выводам, что месть это неправильно, что насилие это плохо, что насилие порождает насилие и создает бесконечный цикл. Говоришь весело тебе бегать и мочить всех в ГТА? Ну а тут ты будешь видеть как твой персонаж реалистично булькает кровью, как кстати и ты будешь булькать если попробуешь поиграть в ГТА в реале. Значит в фильмах у злодеев маловато мотивации? Ну а тут всё перевернуется с ног на голову и антагонист который вначале зверски убивает человека клюшкой станет протоганистом, а белый и пушистый персонаж, которому уже дважды подарили жизнь, будет заставлять её сражаться, шантажирую смертью подростка, а ты который поначалу ненавидел антагониста, и игру за то что приходится играть за женщину Халка, в конце видя как она уже худая и изможденная отказывается от насилия, захочешь чтобы она осталась жива.
    Критики:
    О боже, это шедевр, 10 откушенных пальцев из 10
    Геймеры:
    Почему мне тут грусненько, а не весело, разве игры это не побегать и пострелять за любимых персонажей? =(( Игра ты говно, я зарегю и отомщу тебе тысячей аккаутов на метакритике, я буду убивать тебя с наслаждением тысячью нулей и единиц.    … Expand

    Don't buy no matter what, because the game intends to install toxic ideas in your brain: I am from the Middle-east and this game encourages themes That I find unacceptable and must be forbidden. Plus this game has butchered what the last game stood for, and failed in storytelling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing graphics and game play. Besides, the storytelling is vague. I understand what the ending is trying to tell the players but there are a lot of unclear interaction between Dina and Ellie. I can't feel their emotional from the way they interact with each other. Also, Joel shouldn't deserve that way, there are undoubtedly other options available. I wish there will be part 3 for this game, but the chance is very low. I am looking forward to see improvement, if there is sequel for this game, So, the only game that i was expecting to play in my entire life so badly had turned into dust. I wish things would different, but it ain't.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When it comes to The Last of Us 2, there is so much I like. The music of course is just as good as the first, the gameplay has improved significantly with some of the best enemy AI I've seen, perfectly crafted for the hide-and-seek arena-style combat the game sets you up in. The graphics are genuinely perfect for me and I can think of a single game that looks nearly as good as this game. The story starts off great and really gets you into the mindset of revenge and then, by the end, it just fell short in a lot of ways. The character swap from Ellie to Abby might've been good for a sequel or side story but you spend almost half the entire game playing as Abby, focusing on a completely different story that doesn't correlate with the first half of the game in the slightest. It is like we were watching a movie and halfway through someone got up, turned it off, and put on another film. It is jarring and I never really got over the switch, always thinking in the back of my head 'when am I getting back to Ellie'. It was really frustrating. Along with that, it hurt the gameplay because it cutout almost an entire enemy faction from the game for the rest of it. The differences between the Seraphites and the WLFs were the WLFs had better weapons and were more coordinated and loud, whereas the Seraphites were slow and methodical, hiding in the shadows from you to strike when you weren't looking. Now you just fought the cult. Additionally, it didn't even take advantage much being with a group as you really were cutoff from the rest of the WLF for a majority of it. I think this was a huge mistake and the biggest annoyance for me. Additionally, I think the ending not being a choice really was a true and honest mistake, and I almost feel like they didn't let you choose because they wanted to sequel bait. When it comes to the level design it is fantastic, but dear god in comparison to the first game a lot didn't make sense. In the first game, you spent so much time traveling places, and it showed how difficult it would be to travel. In this game everyone can magically teleport halfway across the country with ease and never have any issues on the way, and it ends up making you hate the Seattle location because you keep on seeing the same stuff over and over and over. Which is a shame, because there are so many interesting areas and they are surprisingly large to let you explore, but like, you go to the aquarium in this game six or seven times. It is simply too much. I would've wanted more of Jackson, or maybe a city/town on the way, or just some other location like how the first game had. The best aspect of the game though was the combat. I don't understand people who say it was exactly the same. It is the same base because, well, this is a sequel. It is like getting mad at Mario for still mainly being about jumping. But the differences were the changes to your toolset. Enemies are much smarter which lets you be smarter in baiting them out and planning your attacks, while also finding their patterns. The game letting you get back into stealth means that you can constantly jump out, attack, and plan your escape to hide and jump out again. If this game had the first game's story and location variety, I wouldn't need another game ever again because of how fun and creative you could be with the game's combat. But, sadly, that isn't the case, and I hope if they return to The Last of Us they take the best aspects from this game and the last one to create a truly wonderful experience.… Expand

I can understand killing Joel but why do they make you play as Abby for half of the game? It isn't a bad story by itself it just doesn't make sense if you have played the first game.

    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]
