    What the hell did I just play? I was expecting a story that revolved around Ellie and Joel. Why did it make me play 11 hours with abby? What a disaster. Oh well, better get back to playing some COD, need to wash this sticky mess out of my hair.

    Metto 10, forse meritava 9 ma, visto l'imbecillitá di persone che mettono 0 o 1 a caso, per quanto non possa essere piaciuto non è da zero, è giusto che io metta 10 per compensare. Odio gli haters e gli imbecilli, e il fatto che possano esprimersi e votare liberamente.

This game made me feel a way that no game has ever done before. But be warned, this game is not a happy game nor a game for teens that think every story is about a hero and a villain. This is a game about consequences and I think everything is portrayed beautifully.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game had amazing graphics and a wonderful sound track. The combat system worked just as well as the first game. I fell in love with the added ammo and crafted items. I absolutely hated what they did to the story. The direction they took with the story could have been acceptable if they went about another way. Joel's death would have been fine if it would have been later in the game, not the first 10 minutes. The real stab in the back is being forced the play the character that killed him. Splitting the game into two separate people that you need to essentially build from scrap is not cool. I hate that they made an attempt to get you emotionally involved with her. It's sickening. The cherry on top is not being able to kill her in the end. You suck Naughty Dog, thank you for taking my money and wasting my time on this pile of stinking garbage.… Expand

But it never got too pushy or over the top. I really liked Elle the actress is superb for sure. But it was Abby that truly took it for me, she made me feel so bad for her. By the end I was hating Elle! I really felt like her and Joel were very well explained, though we have known and loved them. They are definitely not good guys. I really enjoyed this story. Much better than most big budget movies. This game kind of drags on. At one point I thought it was the ending but it kept going for many more hours. A true Masterpiece, not without it's narrative flaws. But other than a tiny hiccup I believe it is one of the best games of all time! Highly recommend.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You have got to be kidding. This game is a freaking masterpiece. There is not a criticism such as like "why the hell you guys killed joel." This is childhish as **** Joel is not a super hero, and he is not innocent as you think he is. There are no rights and wrongs, everybody does their own **** moves in their lifes. This is real conflict. This is real dramaturgy. Gameplay, grapchis, audio design, story and everything about this is freaking amazing and mindblowing. Neil and his team Naughty Dog brought something realy special thing that you guys may understand its value after a long time, maybe in ten or twenty years. Life is not perfect, and human being is not at all too. I'm not writing with too much attention but all i can say is again and again, this game is a freaking piece of art. It is pretty clear that "gamers" are not capable of understand a "story" and how to "read it." "Disrespectful to the Joel." What da **** that supposed to mean? Disrespect? Jesus ****ing christ, Joel tortured and killed lots of people through his life. He did these ****s too. Again, human being is not perfect. Nobody is a superhero. If TLOU Part 1 was about Abby and his journey, and at the end of the game some guy Joel came and killed her dad, you would beg for the Part II, at get the revenge of your dad as Abby. All aside, i don't think that Abby is a well written character as Joel and Ellie. As an "audience", i still love Joey and Ellie more than Abby. But this is what game want to tell you. Nobody is perfect. If Neil would just cut down the ****s about his sjw bull****s, (Which even they are is not stand out as people say, the elements like homosexuality, different ethnic origins etc. are nicely fed to the story, these elements are not unorganic and feels like a propaganda. Nevermind, not even a major point.) he would make lots of amazing games with his team. I don't think we need a Part III for The Last of Us since it completes itself with a very, but very good ending, i would like the see "the end of everything." I really wonder Ellie's end, not too much Abby's though but i would like to see hers too. Wonder what Ellie gonna do with is life, since it's compeletly broken and scattered.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first thing you need to understand is that I only just played through both the first game (Remastered) and the 2nd game for the first time back to back this month with the launch of the PS5 (Yes, I was able to preorder one when they went live in September and I got the digital edition console on November 12th). I Played through Part I through the PS+ collection and I bought Part II for half price during the Black Friday sales on the PlayStation store.

    Unlike the vast majority of the people who posted their 1/10 reviews 2 hours after the game came out because they (SPOILER ALERT!) killed off Joel very early on and couldn't be bothered to play the rest to actually find out why she killed him. I actually just finished playing through Part II from beginning to end. I went into both games completely blind apart from a few key details I already knew due to how much of a phenomenon they became. For example, I already knew that Ellie was immune going into the 1st game and I already knew that Joel dies in the Part II due to the leaks earlier in the year before the game released.

    First, my brief thoughts on the 1st game... absolutely loved it overall. I loved the dynamic between Joel and Ellie, the story was fantastic and the gameplay was solid. I would give it a solid 8/10.

    Now for Part II. First, I would like to tell you what I loved about the game. The music was incredible. The graphics were some of the best I have ever seen, the voice acting and the mo-cap was award worthy, which is great because both Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey were both nominated for The Game Awards and they are both totally deserving. The flashback with Joel and Ellie in the dinosaur/space museum was my favourite part of the game. I know some people hated her, but I loved the character of Abby. Her killing Joel because he was the one who killed her father, the man... the Dr. that was going to do the surgery on Ellie to create a vaccine for the virus was absolutely genius in my opinion. The gameplay was better and more refined than the 1st game. I also do not have a problem with how Abby killed Joel considering what Joel did to her family, that being her dad and the rest of the Fireflies. Honestly, what she did to Joel reminded me of What Negan did to Glenn and Abraham on the Walking Dead. He killed two beloved characters on that show, but prior to that, Rick and his group sneaked into one of Negan's bases in the middle of the night and murdered everyone in there IN THEIR SLEEP! If I was Negan or Abby in their situation, I probably would have done the same thing. I think the only reason that people had a problem with it is because of her gender and how she looked. She did not look like a typical female because she was ripped. What the **** is wrong with that? If you were living in a post-apocalyptic world with barely any food and constantly walking around, travelling and killing infected, I bet you would get a little jacked over time too.

    The game itself, because of the story and how it is played out is very depressing and difficult to play at times (especially having to kill dogs, that was not pleasant). This certainly was not a fun family game to play like Mario or even the Uncharted series, also from Naughty Dog, but because of how good the story, characters and gameplay were, it kept me invested and motivated to finish it.

    The only thing I would say I didn't like about the game was the ending. Firstly, it dragged on for way too long (bit like the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie) and also, Ellie left her wife (I assume Dina was her wife by that point) and child (technically not her biological child but whatever) behind to pursue and end things with Abby, and she ultimately just lets her go. That made no sense to me, but hey, maybe that was a setup for Part III, who knows.

    I also, unlike many other people who played this game, am not so insecure in my own self, in that I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with Ellie's romantic relationship with Dina. I think it was very well written and acted, especially the joke where Dina tells Ellie she is pregnant and says "Don't worry, it;s not yours". I know plenty of people in my own personal life who are gay or lesbian and it does not bother me in the slightest. Anybody who says that Naughty Dog or other companies like Lucasfilm for example have no interest in making good content and only care about pushing and SJW narrative should rally be left to turn into infected.

    In conclusion, I actually liked this game a tad more than the 1st one. If it wasn't for the ending, I would give it a perfect 10, but my rating is a 9/10. Absolutely phenomenal game. Naughty Dog truly are one of the best in the business and I cannot wait to see what they can do with the hardware of the PS5. Playing through both games back to back within a week was a surreal experience, but I am so glad that I finally did it. I will be absolutely shocked if this game does not win Game of the Year.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Тут можно писать только на Английском? Вообще противоречивая игра, которая больше разочарований принесла. Прости первая часть, мы все прое&@ли.
    Одного из прошлых протоганистов убивают вначале, потом дают неплохую серию миссий за Элли, но вторая половина игры вообще не дает в геймплейном плане ничего нового, наоборот предоставляет играть за противного тебе персонажа, а также ужасное и ломаное повествование. Тут куча бредовых сцен, одна из них, когда беременная женщина смогла пересечь город, полный зомби, в одиночку, хотя пару минут назад мы сами лично еле выжили после такой вылазки - (хочется сказть только вы там в своем уме!?). Как будто бы строят воздушные замки, а не пишут качественный сценарий. Бред да и только, и таких моментов в игре хватает, приходится постоянно славливать facepalm. Графика хороша, и к художникам никаких претензий. Локации смотрятся шикарно, но я купил игру ради сюжета и классного повествования, надеясь, что они тут присутствуют... Увы, я как и многие игроки получили плевок в свою сторону. Хваленые механики ИИ не работают, они тупые, как пробки.
    По итогу после прохождения игры остается лишь хвататься за голову и говорить "Что вы сделали с игрой?!" максимум 4 из 10 за работу художников и программистов, а не за тот вы*ер, который представили сценаристы.    … Expand

Naughty Dog really made some bold choices with the story in this game and it really paid off, because it made the game so complex and satisfying.

    This game really has a deep storyline. It shows you what happens when you become obsessed with revenge and how our limited world view can sometimes cause us to become prejudiced too easily. There are two sides to every story, and most of the time, we only get a one-sided view of something. This game gives us multiple sides and the result is fascinating and really makes you think and examine how we may jump to conclusions in our normal, everyday lives.

    The best part is watching the heads of bigoted immature gamer boys explode with rage over this game. It's been so enjoyable, boys! I wonder how many of them quit after the first 20 minutes, or when they were forced to play a new character, completely missing out on a chance to grow up a little? Regardless, this game is the game of the year and I look forward to more heads exploding and more gamer boy tears as this game rakes in the awards.    … 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.
