    Titolo che per il 70-80% è identico al primo, belle e importanti le aggiunte alle impostazioni, trama superiore al precedente, gameplay che dopo 7 anni è per il 90% identico al predecessore.

    This game is a masterpiece.

    The negative reviews that focus on a plot point they disagree with are missing the point. The overall experience genuinely elevates the whole videogame medium, and I Don't think that's hyperbole.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let’s first talk about the good things about this game. The graphics - are absolutely gorgeous and amazing. Really love it.
    The gameplay - It’s also pretty good but it can be bad at some times.
    The Characters - Designs are really good, there is a lot of detail on the Character designs.
    Now let’s talk about what really went downhill to this game. I really enjoyed the game at the start. I know that Joel dying is terrible but I already saw it coming before all the leaks. The thing that pisses me off the most, is the ending. The fact that Ellie went through so much, had to kill so many people, even killed a baby, traveled so much, had some of her friends killed in the journey by Abby, and finally at the end, Ellie has her hands on Abby. She now could easily kill Abby. She was about to drown Abby. But guess what. She decides to let her go. FOR WHATEVER REASON..... LIKE LITERALLY YOU WENT THROUGH SO MUCH SH*T JUST TO NOT KILL JOEL’S KILLER AT THE END? Neil Druckmann, I thought this game was about revenge? Or is it not? So disappointed.    … Expand

Who tf thought it is a good idea to kill Joel and then to let us play with the killer for 10-15 hours. There are many more reasons why this game is bad but i dont need to say everything in this comment, there are so many videos on youtube and some of them last even 2 hours so....… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego como casi todos lo odie antes de que saliera, las filtraciones, la muerte de joel, ese supuesto final en el que Ellie y dina supuestamente morían lo odie con toda mí alma. Luego de que saliera vi un par de gameplays y no me convencía y también lo odiaba un poco. Pero como me dijo un amigo mío "no puedes juzgar un juego sin haberlo jugado, no importa cuántos gameplays, directos, videos veas, no se compara con jugarlo y vivirlo tu mismo" a la dos o tres semanas que pasó el juego me lo compre y me lo pasé y la verdad es que mí amigo tenía razón. El juego me encantó se nota que Neil Druckmann quiso hacer algo diferente pero al mismo tiempo no perder la esencia del primero. Los espacios abiertos de combates, los gráficos, la jugabilidad de las mejores en mí opinión, la música, del gran Gustavo Santaolalla y especialmente la historia tan criticada a mí me encantó. Aunque parezca una simple historia de venganza Neil Druckmann la logra hacer de una manera tan clara, con suspenso, perdidas y tragedias que me parece una maravilla. Y aunque me odien por lo que voy a decir lo diré: logré empatizar con Abby y me parece un personaje igual o mejor que Ellie. Porque? Abby solo tenía un unico objetivo, matar a Joel, dejo vivir a Ellie y a Tommy, ella se dio cuenta que perdió todo y que matar a Joel no le va a devolver a si padre. Luego de que Ellie mata a todos sus amigos ella la deja vivir nuevamente. También ayuda a Yara y Lev, integrantes de una faccion que habían matado a varios de sus amigos lobos y aún así los ayudo y los rescató más de una vez e hizo cosas como matar a sus propios aliados o sacrificar su vida, superar sus miedos a las alturas, engañar a su faccion y luchar con un infectado horripilante solo con tal de conseguir medicamentos para la operación de Yara. El final me pareció de lo mejor les juro que al ver a Ellie caminar hacia la nada dejando la guitarra de Joel en esa casa abandonada y empezar a escuchar esa hermosa melodía (beyond desolation para el que la quiera buscar) me sentí vacío. El juego me encantó no merece ser criticado tanto como se lo ha hecho se nota que le pusieron empeño y trabajo. Es una obra maestra en mí opinión. Lo juego y lo seguiría jugando porque me encantó. Con lo que voy a decir a continuación mi propósito no es ofender pero lo diré (aunque se que alguno se va a ofender). La mayoría de las personas que critican con los mismos argumentos (murió Joel, Ellie perdona a Abby, es políticamente correcto, etc) el juego obviamente solo lo han visto mediante gameplays y no han tenido la oportunidad de jugarlo, pero si alguna vez la tienen juéguenlo porque es un juegazo muy recomendado. Bueno esa es mi opinión algunos que lo jugaron y no le gusto los entiendo.… Expand

    It is sad to see how many people leave bad reviews for this game, it definitely does not deserve them, the story is hard to get through but not because it is bad, but because it is emotional and real. Naughty Dog did not pull punches and it was breathtaking. The gameplay is absolutely polished beyond anything I have played before!

    I give this game a 5 because the positive points of the game are good graphics and good gameplay but then the story which i think ts the most important thing its just garbage i actually think killing Joel is a good idea but the way they killed him with a golf stick its just super dissapointing and then we play as Abby the character we all hate it would be a god idea if we played as her like we did same story and all but they donnt show us that she killed Joel until we nearly finish the game and we can choose when we want to play as Abby and Ellie another thing we all would think Abby is a good character until she kills Joel and about Ellie she lost her charisma and in the end we can choose to kill Abby or to let her live.    … Expand

But it seems like you guys felt the same as Ellie and put your hatred towards your enemy, which in your case is the game itself. I think that's quite the reason for not being able to enjoy and fully understand all characters' motives. Play the game again with your calm mind, you'll find a lot of things that you missed in the first walkthrough.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is by no means the greatest game ever made, but it's no dumpster fire either. And lemme point out that I am NOT being paid to say what is said in this review.

    Story: The story is one of the boldest I have ever experienced. I saw Joel's death coming a mile away (not because I saw the leaks that came out in April, because I didn't), and yet I was still absolutely drowned in sadness and anger for his killer. And Ellie had to watch. People say it was completely out of character for Joel to die the way he did, but that's the thing: Joel in this game isn't the same man as the man we played in the original. Throughout the first half of the game, you experience flashbacks with Ellie and Joel, learning that the Firefly incident is driving them apart, and once Ellie learns the truth, Joel becomes a much more sensitive man, and after that, he's not the hardened killer we once knew. It became his instinct to not straight up torture or run over every dude that he comes across, and in the end it's an incidental slip-up that gets him killed.

    Once Joel is killed, Ellie is filled with hatred and rage for Abby, the girl that killed Joel, and she goes on a suicidal revenge mission to Seattle to find and kill Abby and all of her friends that were present to Joel's killing. But as she gets closer and closer to that goal, she starts to lose herself, turning into the person that Joel never wanted Ellie to be. She becomes this unrecognizable monster that we (the players) and her friends don't recognize. In the end, Ellie becomes the villain of this story.

    As for Abby, the reason why she killed Joel is because Joel killed her dad, who was the surgeon in charge of the Firefly outpost in Salt Lake City, and possibly the last man on the planet that could develop a vaccine to the pandemic. This rage is recognized in Ellie once Joel is killed. Abby is filled with rage and hatred for Joel, that she follows up on leads on where he could be, and end him once and for all. However, once Abby has accomplished her goal and returns to Seattle with her friends, she wonders if it was worth it or not. And as she's in the middle of a territorial war with these cultists, she runs into two kids that are on the run from their own kind, and Abby starts to develop a responsibility for these kids, since they saved her life from being hanged and gutted. And so she goes to great lengths to do the best for these kids, and protect them with all her might.

    That is the genius part about this story: Ellie and Abby eventually turn into the people that they hate the most: Ellie turns into Abby, and Abby turns into Joel. It's very enticing to see how much these two characters change by the end of the game. Which brings up the final point of the story: the ending.

    Ellie and Abby are on a beach in California, about to escape, when Ellie stops Abby, and then they have a fight to the death. Ellie was nearly victorious, and on the verge of drowning Abby. If Abby had died, I would've been content with that, since it would've been the appropriate ending. But, personally, I like the real ending more. As she is in the middle of drowning Abby, the Ellie that we once knew starts to resurface, and starts realizing what she's doing. Abby spares Ellie at the beginning of the game, and in the middle, when Abby is about to choke to death from being hanged, Lev (one of the kids that Abby starts to care for), saves Abby, who spares Ellie again when she is confronted in the theater, who eventually saves Abby and Lev's life from the slavers in California. Ellie has done so many terrible things to get to this point, that killing Abby no longer means anything. Ellie remembers that her last conversation with Joel was a good one, and decides to spare Abby in the end.

    Once Ellie returns home, she can no longer play the guitar, because two of her fingers were bitten off by Abby during their fight on the beach. Which leaves this empty feeling in Ellie, and she leaves her guitar and her home behind, hoping that one day, she can live the life that Joel wanted for her. It makes you wonder what will happen in The Last Of Us Part III (if there's ever gonna be one).

    I'll briefly go over the rest. The gameplay hasn't changed much compared to the original game, which came out in 2013, but it's stealth gameplay makes for some tense situations, whether it comes between dealing with dudes with guns, or the terrifying infected. You have to use anything at your disposal in order to succeed in any situation. The game is easily the best-looking game ever made for the PS4, and runs smoothly at 30 FPS, even on older PS4 models. The game hasn't crashed on me once, and I've played through it 3 times already. And the music is very deep, and I still listen to the soundtrack from time to time.

    In the end, this game is good, and I hope this game stops receiving dumb, intoxicating comments involving the story, sexual orientation, and death threats towards the devs and actors.    … 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.
