    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Il gioco è perfetto. Ha un ottimo gameplay, una grafica che non fa distinzione tra video e gioco. La storia è emozionante e ammetto che ho tanta voglia di finirlo quanta voglia di lasciarlo lì perché lo vorrei giocare all'infinito. Sarebbe stato un gioco da 10, probabilmente osservando solo i particolari tecnici lo è eccome, eppure non ho apprezzato in alcun modo la trama di Abby. La storia è bella ma penso che si poteva fare in un DLC a parte e lasciare il gioco con la sola vendetta di Ellie, rendendo così quest'ultima più lunga da affrontare. Mi sono affezionato molto al personaggio di Ellie che può risultare antipatica a molti ma è la persona più vera e bella che abbia mai visto in un videogioco. La naughty dog è riuscita a rendere reale un personaggio finto. Do il voto 8 perché come ho detto non ho sopportato l'obbligo di fare la storia di Abby, per il resto è un gioco perfetto.… Expand

    Гениальный сюжет. Мало какая игра или фильм так наглядно раскрывает человеческую натуру и принцип, что насилие ничего не решает - только порождает новое насилие. Игра заставляет понять это и продолжать даже когда у игрока появляется рвотный рефлекс на насилие. Смело и правдиво.Гениальный сюжет.

Play this game. Be open minded. If you think you know that characters more than the key creative and technical crew (cast included), then you’ve been sadly misguided. If you watch plenty of cinema, you’ll notice some of the best utilisation or inspiration in any medium. If you watch a 10 hour “movie collation” on YouTube then you are simply missing out on 15 hours of context which makes your opinion pretty irrelevant.… Expand

    Considero que es un buen esfuerzo para ser sincero no esparaba este final ni la muerte de cierto personaje importante sin embargo no lo odie ame su jugabilidad el diseño de los paisajes las peleas con el gordinflon son epicas en especial el jefe del hospital pero quede con gusto a poco espero que alla un the last 3 ya que para mi fue final abierto o por ultimo dlc

    Honestly, I absolutely loved the game from start to finish. As much as I loved the first if not more-so. I'm sure people have their reasons for the hate, however I played the whole game through and genuinely enjoyed it. Best game i played all year, beating out Sekiro. Don't listen to the hate.

    Everything is great about this game except it's horrific story. And the story is a big doozy. The characters that I loved are completely ruined. I genuinely am so upset. This game ruined the first one for me and that is not what you want in a sequal. There's just no reason for me to say anything good about it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didnt think I would review this game initially because I have never felt the need to but I personally love this series and hate to see it be bashed so hard, I know people really disliked this game and thats fine, but I also wish I could change someones opinion on it at least a little just so they can maybe feel what I felt when looking at this game. I also want to point out that I have not actually played the game yet, though I have watched hours and hours of game play and story and re watched many parts again, I also watched all of the negative videos on this game and positive ones. I think you should take a look at this video whether or not your view on the game is mixed bad or good, I think hearing the people that made the game talk about it might give you some more insight to many things that I personally was very confused about though if you dont care or want to like this story then there is no need to watch (links not permitted)
    now im going to start talking about the actual game and not just all of the controversy surrounding it. First off its pretty obvious that this game has some of the best graphics you will see in a while, there are so many small details that you most likely wont even notice and it all joins together and makes the game come to life. Small things like taking out an enemy near water makes their blood dialate with the water making it more clear. The level design is amazing and there is a really nice atmosphere in the rainy city of Seattle. I could go on and on about the graphics but you get the point. The gameplay is really good as well, though the normal mode is pretty easy for some and I think is more for players that wish to experience the story of the game first. Lots of people get bored of this though so if you like more challenging gameplay that puts your skills to the test, you are probably going to love the harder difficulty as it really makes you think about your ammo consumption as you find much less and enemies are just smarter overall. The stealth in this game has some of my favorite stealth scenes I have ever seen, it feels amazing to be hiding in tall grass and sneak around enemies, and tensions are raised whenever you come across dogs as they can trace your cent, all though it is very cool it is also very easy to counter this as throwing any object near the animal will break its trail to you. Weapons feel amazing and the animations for upgrading them are also fun to watch and see what your character will add to the weapon. Sometimes you will enter an area that will make a weapon more beneficial than others, and when fighting zombies or people your weapon selection will most likely change. I was a little disappointed to see how easy the iconic clickers zombies were to take down. Having Ellies unbreakable knife is definitely a nice quality of life after the first game but ultimately just makes zombies not very hard to deal with or seem easy without needing to use nearly as many supplies, though shivs do make a return once you play as Abby which I kind of enjoyed. The game is very immersive especially when you are in those stealth sections, but the one time you will really find your immersion shatter is when your ally walks directly in front of an enemy and the enemy doesn't react, though small talk is much appreciated and made me chuckle a lot and sometimes (very rarely) made me overwhelmed in joy, it is also very nice to be alone for many parts of the game just for immersions sake alone, also making you feel more bad ass talking on so many people solo. The game has many sections made for stealth and given the shortage of ammo you will almost always have, it is best to be stealthy, although you do not have to stealth kill anyone and you could go guns blazing almost whenever you see an enemy group which is a nice choice to have but it is just more difficult.
    The main thing about this game that people cant stand is the story, and I can completely understand why, though personally this story is everything and more than what I had asked for. Not only that but it is one of a kind and doesn't take the normal route most stories take. The large group of people that have seen this story are mainly angry because of Joels death (not that he died but how and when) and the ending which supposedly doesnt make a lot of sense. Im going to back peddle a bit and say that this story is very demanding of you and your feelings and requires you to go into it thinking selflessly about everything and take it for what it is, which is very cool because I dont think I have seen many stories do that to the viewer. Im not going to talk about the story a lot because I am running out of characters so I recommend you watch the video I sent if you wish to try to see this story in a better light because no one is better than the makers of the story to show you. Now I need to say that this story is not perfect, there are many coincidences in the story sorryranout    … Expand

    Yet, watching it unfold on the hardest difficulty once more. I now have the knowledge that I get to experience one of the greatest games in my 18 years of gaming. For another go-round! As it goes, for me The Last Of Us 2 is trilling and fascinating.
    There where moments where I wanted to put the controller down because of the things the characters had to do. For the most the game is relentless and perhaps to it's detriment, at a point in time when we switch gears in the second half. Graphics and animations are like looking into a cinematic art gallery. It's also just amplified by great performance from the cast that I eventually grew fond of.

    Combat always pushed the pace for me and I love playing with the battle encounters and set pieces that had me putting my hands over my head several times. There were points, where I had grown vicious towards the inhabitants of the game. But then started to question "Was there another way to deal with the situation?".

    Also, we get great sounds effects from the explosions, to well produce sounds of Clickers and bad guys yearning in pain.

    I have must point out a musical instrument that plays in later intense encounters. Felt like it was a mix of Hunter being Hunted, or like"Jaws" but I'm the shark moving in for the kill. The score in the game is fantastic. However I did see some glitches here and there, but that was into my second playthrough. Side note there is a moment in the game that I tulry wish I had when I was a kid. You will know when you get there. Is the game perfect? no game is None the less, the game is a bash. The Last Of Us 2 is gaming royalty. I did not expect much from the game. Yet, it gave me a perspective I did not ask for, but needed. It made me understand some meanings of obsession, forgiveness, war, love, and the cycle of pain and loss.

    What's more it's a tale that you truly need to see through, like the two sides of a coin, to appreciate.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was f*cking LIVID over this game after I finished it, as most people are. Of course the graphics are f*cking amazing, but we all had a huge issue with the story and their deception in the trailers. SOME TREE TRUNK FIGURED B*TCH killed my man Joel and in that moment I was Ellie. I was full of anger and rage and all I saw was red for the entire rest of the game. Thinking that- making us play as this B*TCH was twisted and F*CKED up. I was stubborn. I didn't want to sympathize with Abby and I just wanted Ellie to get this show on the road and KILL her ass. I was like... f*ck naughty dog for thinking I'd want anything other than Ellie to get brutal ass revenge.

    After taking a step back from it, calming down, and reanalyzing I began to feel less angry. I thought about Abby's storyline and I started to sympathize. Ellie killed her friends and Abby spared her two f*cking times. TWICE. Abby broke my f*cking heart sometimes. I wanted Ellie to just part ways when she saw the boat...and I think she did too. She thought about Joel and instantly the anger comes back and in that moment I was Ellie. I wanted to beat that b*tch to a pulp. I believe they purposefully prolonged the fight, it went on so long and It didn't seem worth it anymore. That INSTANT GRATIFICATION wasn't worth it anymore. Man in that moment I was Ellie.. I let it go. She didn't kill her she let her go. Ellie ended the cycle and actually ended up saving Abby's life one could argue.

    I still have a hard time understanding why they lied about Joel surprising Ellie in the midst of the game when it was actually Jesse, so I'm docking a few points for that. Docked points as well because although it was necessary to view Abby's perspective...it did go on a bit long. Also... the repetitiveness of the actual gameplay was a drag.. felt like I was doing the same thing over and over, but that wasn't as big of a deal for me.

    NAUGHTY DOG I apologize. I was leaving comments, tweeting them, etc...and talking so much sh*t but man.... this f*cking game was a masterpiece once you realize the emotions you feel, good and bad, are exactly what they wanted you to feel. Actual geniuses.    … 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...
