    One of the best game sequence of all time. Great Game. So sad that the fanboys rated this game with such a low score. The game is really awesome, a must have in anyone’s collection.

    The easy part: the game just looks fantastic. Great game-play, graphics, music, photography, etc.

    The harder and controversial part, the story: No other game has provoked so many emotions as this one and not always pleasant. It forces to feel and deal with themes in the same way as the characters. The zero's scores are from the pain and anger that it generates, and I understand them.    The easy part: the game just looks fantastic. Great game-play, graphics, music, photography, etc.

    The harder and controversial part, the story:

    No other game has provoked so many emotions as this one and not always pleasant. It forces to feel and deal with themes in the same way as the characters. The zero's scores are from the pain and anger that it generates, and I understand them. When a character dies, we feel it. When we presence a loving character going in a dark path, we suffer. The way it's presented is cruel and real. It isn't a pleasant game. It makes you think about the people you have lost, the decisions you make, the way you empathise with others, etc. It really questions your humanity.

    TLOU focus on the generation that was born before apocalypse. The stories are mostly told through them: Joel, Tess, Marlene, Bill, Henry, David. They justify their methods, ideals and violence in a world full of infected in order to survive. Ellie is the hope for the humankind and Joel is a teacher and father.

    TLOU2 focus on how the new generation, that have never seen a different world and, has inherit the same ideals and violence. It focus on their pains and lack of purpose in life. After all, what can you aspire to be in this world? Can you choose your own path? Can you find a purpose that doesn't require some sort of violence? Are you even allowed to be good or happy?

    We, as players, are forced to experience this. Not always we agreeing with the characters, the story forces us to enter on the same mindset of pain, anger, hate, violence and, all of a sudden, in the middle of the game, it requested you to step out of it... Oh, boy!

    Naughty dog took a huge risk here. In my opinion, it totally works. I don't know any other medium that can push themes out of the story and put it on your hands and hearth. You have a decision at that point. Would you conquer your anger and pain and continue to play, or do you shutdown and refuse to let them go?

    This game is a prove of what this form of art can do. It pushes the boundaries of this art to another level. I understand the negatives reviews from what it makes us feel, special if you cannot handle with distress. Games have been strongly tied with feeling good emotions and escape. TLOU2 does nothing of that. In my opinion, studios should be encourage to do more of this: breaking the expectations and bring something new.

    I'm a casual player and I play mostly story driven games. I'm also passionate about storytelling in cinema and tv series. What Naughty dog did here was to tell a story that could never been told, the way it was told, in a different medium. They clearly understand how to evoke emotions and tight them together with the gameplay and design. I love stories and they told me a beautiful one, through a fantastic game. If you are planning to play it, get some extra tissues first. :)    … Expand

    I feel bad for the game developers for all the backlash because I honestly think they did a wonderful job.

After a while I caved and read the leaks anyway because I couldn't believe how bad the hate was. Even after reading the leaks, it didn't seem THAT bad. The first game was brutal and the second is no exception. People die in horrible ways. Also I did hate Abby's character from the start but she ended up growing on me. I dare say I like her more than how Ellie turned out in the end. It did feel a little long and some walking felt really unnecessary but overall, I loved the game because I got what I bought it for.… Expand

    Sul fronte narrativo compie scelte coraggiose, racconta la sua storia senza guardare in faccia nessuno (motivo per cui è stato aspramente odiato e criticato da molti), non è una storia eroica, ancora più del primo capitolo sancisce l'assenza del bianco e del nero nel mondo in cui è ambientato e racconta la storia di vere e proprie persone anzichè personaggi, caratterizzati da sfumature che mettono in risalto tutti i lati della loro personalità.
    Bisogna immergersi in questa avventura senza pregiudizi, specialmente se come me si ha un forte legame con il primo capitolo, bisogna riconoscere i lati oscuri dei personaggi che si amano e invece comprendere le motivazioni di quelli che, almeno inizialmente, odiamo.
    il fondamento di questa narrazione è l'UMANITA' in tutte le sue sottigliezze e sfumature, non ci sono eroi, i personaggi fanno errori, hanno emozioni che li portano a compiere determinate azioni spesso sbagliate, nessuno ha più ragione dell'altro e questo porta il giocatore a immedesimarsi nei personaggi, osservarli e infine comprenderli.
    Passiamo oltre alla trama che, nonostante la sua immensità nelle tematiche, potrebbe non essere apprezzata.
    Anche dal lato puramente "tecnico" è monumentale: graficamente ha portato la next gen sulle console di vecchia generazione riuscendo a girare magnificamente anche su console datate 2013, e inoltre le espressioni facciali sono al limite del fotorealismo.
    Nonostante il gameplay sia fissato sulle basi di quello del primo capitolo quello di part 2 è totalmente su un altro livello: shoting solido, innumerevoli modi di affrontare le "arene" grazie al level design strabiliante...
    il titolo di naughty dog eccele particolarmente nei piccoli dettagli: i dialoghi fra gli NPC nemici sono fantastici (si scambiano indicazioni, si chiamano fra loro, si agitano quando non sentono la risposta dell'amico che abbiamo appena ucciso, hanno tutti un nome...), sono inoltre presenti grandissime chicche come il riuscire a vedere in lontananza percorsi che verranno affrontati solo ore dopo ponendo il level design del titolo quasi al livello dei giochi di from software.
    In conclusione, secondo me, the last of us part 2 non è solo un capolavoro, è anche una rarità e unicità del mondo videoludico riuscendo a migliorare esponenzialmente ciò in cui il suo predecessore peccava e a elevare a un livello mai visto prima ciò in cui il primo capitolo già eccelleva.    … Expand

    The gameplay was wonderful, graphics were top-notch, scares intense, and the battles excellent and all the while you can edit tons of little details of the game in the options, catering it to your specific tastes. However, without any giving away any spoilers, I found myself very disappointed in the story. I loved the first game so much that I was ecstatic to hear they were releasing a second. I avoided any spoilers and the only thing I knew for sure is we’d get to play as Ellie. The first few hours of the game were intense and heartbreaking but fueled me ever forward seeking out revenge. After all, we didn't purchase this game so we could put down our weapons and all have a tea party. We’re here to watch a great story unfold in a dystopian future while kicking some butt on the side. To my dismay, a ways through the game I no longer had the option to play as Ellie. Instead, half of the game we’re forced to play as a person they villainized within the first hour of gameplay, making it nearly impossible to connect or care about that persons storyline at all.

    I forced myself to play through story parts I just couldn’t get into, with a character I wanted dead, hoping I’d be able to switch back and continue on with my revenge. But after many hours of trying to be optimistic I realized I just had to enjoy the game for what it was, and accept the disappointment.

    If you go into the game with an open mind, (knowing you’ll most likely be disappointed) you’ll probably enjoy it. In fact, I wish I had read reviews and had low expectations to begin with, then maybe I would have had a better experience. (Just make sure you get it at a discount, lmao it’s not worth full price.)    … Expand

    A game with extremely vulgar scenes, which are disgusting and are not credible. I want to play survival horror, not gay erotic game. I also don't like to play as a character and then as her enemy, I'm not a mercenary. I will not buy Naughty Dog games again until they change their strategy and stop these dirty games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's the perfect game, I genuinely don't understand the tons of hate that's being thrown at it. It's so stupid. Her screenplay is worthy of an Oscar. It gives so many messages, they will be revealed for decades after its release. Ellie didn't lose her humanity - I was very much afraid of the opposite. Each character has its own storyline worked out to the smallest detail. I lived this story together with its heroes. When I turned off the console and went to bed, I thought about the part of the story that I saw. This game makes you think, raise questions in yourself that you have not asked before. She changed me, yes. I think it made me a better person. Is it worth talking about its technical component? Of course your mother! It is made with a huge love for details, little things, its heroes. I don't want to write here about graphics, physics and pictures. What for? This is the standard and the point. The technical component is not the main thing in this game, the main thing is the story.… 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.

    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]
