    Questo gioco e stato bellissimo una storia incredibile e profonda , l'ho finito in 24h e 46m quindi mi è piaciuto molto e il finale e qualcosa che ti spezza ma è un finale bellissimo , consigliatissimo.

    I am only 5 hours in but had to put the rating in when I saw all the hate and fake reviews, the game is very emotional and the controls and animations are exceptional. I will put a final rating later but up to this point the game is masterfully crafted and beautiful. Avoid spoilers at any cost.

    It's bad enough that as a mature male adult I have no playable characters to draw me into this game,
    and not allowing me to easily skip through the horrendously boring Teenage lesbian woke scenes is simply unforgivable.

    A good game mechanically speaking and a beautiful game in terms of graphics, you can see the effort that the devs/graphic team and the QA team has put into this game, but unfortunately a complete disaster in terms of story telling. I had to stop playing after a few hours, I felt just too disgusted to continue hence my low score.

    Graphics... That's the only good thing about this. Everything else is either mediocre or down right awful. The game play did not evolve one bit since 2013. It's still a walking simulator that's more a movie than a game, which would be enjoyable if it had a good story but God damn is it bad. The story simply broke my heart and not in the good way. It's like a spit in the face of the entire fan base. It's like the worst fan fiction you could possibly find. Seriously? This is what you came up after 7 years? Did Twitter write this game? It's full of plot holes and the characters you fell in love with in the first game are completely ruined and you are forced to play with the character that ruined them. I don't mind the woke stuff but when so much of it is obviously forced down your throat it feels like the entire game was built around it so if people don't like it you can pull the victim card and say that they are ists and phobes and whatever. And the director to preach so much about sexualising women in games is bad only than to put that Abby scene in the game? I can't unsee that. WTF were you thinking? I'd rather watch 2 girls one cup on repeat while eating. Let me tell you a little secret western game devs. People are playing games for entertainment and they'd rather see pretty things while doing it than ugl.. excuse me FUGLY ones! This is never going to change. How is sexualising men was never an issue? People don't like to be preached to and to be told what to think. In a video game setting, that choice should be always ours.
    Overall, I don't recommend this, especially if you were a fan of the previous one. maybe buy it when it's on a massive sale.    … Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is the most controversial game of the 21st century. It’s a basic revenge plot twist, filled with hate, anger and survival. Let me start off by saying visually it’s a masterpiece.

It’s not so much the ending of a characters fate that’s disturbing, but the political agenda behind it. Now I get it’s art and it’s a creative freedom of speech, which by all means is allowed. I loved Part One greatest game of the generation! Part 2 same thing everything is top notch. However I can’t stand Abbey I respect her, and her purpose. Along with everyone in her group, but certain encounters made me put the game down, and walk away. Just to come back be in awe of the game dynamics, but then disgusted with the political agenda behind the whole mess.. Certain parts were tough to stomach and couldn’t bare watching, because I was disconnected with everything.. Last of us 2 hits every aspect of what you want and should crave in a PS4 Pro game to raise the bar, but also it’s very political and polarizing..… Expand

    I feel scammed for my money, given how unsatisfying the game is in each and every facette of its gameplay and its storytelling. Bagatalizing its lack of quality over the assumption that people would care about an obviously lesbian character being lesbian is a media stunt and a half as well. The game's **** coz it's **** buds, noone is trying to push an agenda.    … Expand

    This game genre puts a lot of pressure on emotions and should be played alone, and this second chapter does it the wrong way.
    Naughty Dog ​​knew very well how much we were tied to the first chapter and the characters. here we find an extremely meaningless story, complicated with extremely questionable narrative choices that could have been better chosen in 7 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT. what does the game want to demonstrate? what's the point? what leaves us finishing the game? I found myself wondering today when I finished the game.
    This is not The last of us I knew, this is not the continuum of the first masterpiece.
    I am very sorry because it is a wonderful game that had great potential that could have been one of the best games ever created so far for the videogame genre, but they got lost in the bad management of the narration.
    This game is not a 10/10 but at most 7.5 / 10. Really disappointing for us wait 7 years for this.    … Expand

    Do I recommend it, no here's why
    The good:
    Enemy dialog has a very vast improvement making the enemies feel more human.

    Visuals are phenomenal boasting the second best reflections and lighting I've seen full stop

    Ellie's interactions with Dina and Jesse are fun to listen to giving good insight on the characters pasts and relationships.

    environments are more open with better enemy placements and better designs than the first

    The bad:
    A lot of the new characters aren't given proper time to develop, so when they do something against pre-established characters or on random it leaves players with a sour taste in their mouth.

    With Abby I feel that in the attempt to make her a stronger character physically they strayed further towards making her more masculine than to give her a more athletic female type build

    The ending is very unsatisfying, not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it but

    Some main players in the original game act out of character in relation to their pre-established behaviours and mannerisms.

    The character designs, all of our returning cast and a couple of the new ones (Dina and Jesse) have wonderful new designs, the enemy designs feel very generic with the WLF feeling like the Fireflies with a couple new design changes.

    The controls are dated, I love the original game but a fresh coat of paint on a decade old control scheme just isn't pulled off right.    … Expand

    Where to even begin with this dumpster fire.

    Basically, take everything epic about the first game, remember it vividly and get reminded of it constantly by Naughty Dog, and then throw it out the window because this game is nothing like its predecessor. I will be fair though, and say that the actual combat is just as good as it always was. It is a hollow shell of what it used to be, and    Where to even begin with this dumpster fire.

I will be fair though, and say that the actual combat is just as good as it always was.

    It is a hollow shell of what it used to be, and you are constantly reminded of that and how Neil Druckman doesn't like the old vision of the game. I'm well over 30 hours in on an all nighter, and I'm struggling to find a reason to keep playing.

    Of course, there are the people that don't like the character of Abby for certain reasons, but that's not the most egregious offense. No, in fact, the worst offense is the fully motion captured sexual encounter between Abby and the game director's self-insert, comically named Dr. Uckman. I wonder who that could be. How this genuinely bad and unnecessary scene was allowed past the ESRB and put into the game, not even mentioning that it should be landing it an AO rating, is beyond me. It builds nothing character-wise, and as far as I've seen it's never brought back up. There was no story related reason that this should've been in the game, and I feel terrible for the parents that will inevitably watch their children playing this with horror in their eyes. Yes, the game is rated M, but do you really think parents aren't buying their young kids things like GTA or Call of Duty? If you think they aren't, you're very clearly disconnected from reality and you've never played a video game past its surface.

    Another thing that bothers me is the reviews by other companies. 10 out of 10 nearly across the board? These people obviously haven't played the game past the first hour or two, and their opinions shouldn't be considered if this affront to decency is ever nominated for any awards.

    If you genuinely believe that this game is in any way a good thing for the industry, you're delusional.    … Expand

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...
